[0002] Existing water meters mostly use LCD screens and LED lights for human-machine interaction, and their remote data transmission modules mostly rely on LoRa or 2G networks, which has the following drawbacks:

[0003] The interaction method is too simple: it cannot meet the convenient operation needs of the elderly, children or people with disabilities;

[0004] Insufficient communication performance: Traditional modules (such as LoRa and 2G) have low data transmission capacity, high latency, and low reliability;

[0005] Functional limitations: It lacks intelligent functions such as real-time remote control, voice interaction, and proactive fault alarm.

[0006] To address these issues, this application presents an AI-powered smart voice-controlled IoT water meter based on NB-IoT. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an AI-powered smart voice IoT valve-controlled water meter based on NB-IoT.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Figure 1In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the main control MCU collects the current water meter flow information through the water consumption acquisition module and connects to the server through the NB-IoT module. The AI ​​intelligent voice conversion module collects and converts the user's commands, enabling it to execute user-issued voice control commands and receive and execute server commands. This includes operations such as opening and closing valves, reporting water meter faults, and broadcasting water consumption information. Furthermore, it allows for remote parameter setting and program updates for the water meter through data interaction with the server via the NB-IoT module. It boasts advantages such as high reliability, low latency, and large data transmission capacity. It enables dual real-time voice and network control of the water meter and allows for real-time uploading of water meter flow and fault information. This system is suitable for water meters requiring real-time measurement and reporting of water flow, real-time valve control, and user-interactive access to water meter information and valve control.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the user issues commands to the water meter such as opening the valve, closing the valve, setting the timer for valve opening / closing, displaying the amount of water used, and indicating faults, the water meter responds quickly to the user's commands. When the water meter leaks and the water consumption suddenly reaches the meter's maximum flow rate, the water meter automatically closes the valve and issues intermittent voice prompts to alert the user.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
