DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 In the embodiments of the present application, a high-strength protection type water meter counter comprises a protection mechanism 1 and a water meter counter 9. The water meter counter 9 is provided with a dial 13 on the upper side, and is provided with connecting pipes 5 at both ends.

The cover 7 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the protection shell 3. The protection shell 3 is provided with drying mechanisms 10 at both sides inside. The drying mechanisms 10 are composed of filler cavities 12 and drying agents 11. The filler cavities 12 are installed inside the protection shell 3, and the drying agents 11 are filled inside the filler cavities 12.

[0025] The rubber pad 14 is arranged on the upper side of the protective shell 3 below the cover 7 and is adhered to the upper side of the protective shell 3 by adhesive. The rubber pad 14 is arranged to seal between the protective shell 3 and the cover 7, so as to avoid the entry of humid air into the inside of the protective shell 3 during use. The protective shell 3 and the cover 7 are made of acrylic material. The acrylic material has the characteristics of high transparency and high corrosion resistance. The high transparency allows the user to directly observe the dial 13 of the water meter counter 9 through the protective shell 3 and the cover 7, so that the user can know the water usage at any time without opening the protection mechanism 1, thereby improving the convenience of use. The high corrosion resistance ensures that the protective shell 3 and the cover 7 will not be corroded and damaged in various harsh environmental conditions, such as humid and chemical environments, thereby prolonging the service life of the protection mechanism 1 and protecting the water meter counter 9 to work stably for a long time. The cover 7 is provided with a convex strip 6 arranged integrally with the cover 7. When the cover 7 needs to be rotated to open or close, the convex strip 6 can increase the friction between the cover 7 and the hand. In daily life, the friction may be reduced due to sweating, water stains and other reasons. The existence of the convex strip 6 solves this problem. By increasing the friction, the user can more easily and quickly disassemble and assemble the cover 7, thereby improving the efficiency of checking and maintaining the water meter counter 9.

At the same time, for dust and other pollutants in the air, the special microstructure of the nano-silicon coating layer makes it difficult for dust to adhere to the surface. Even if a small amount of dust adheres, it can be easily removed by rainwater or simple wiping. In this way, the outer surface of the protective shell 3 and the cover 7 can be kept clean for a long time, ensuring that the user can clearly observe the inside of the water meter counter 9 and ensure accurate monitoring of the water usage.

[0027] The rubber sleeve 4 is arranged in the connector 5 and is adhered to the position between the connector 5 and the through hole 2 by adhesive. When the connector 5 is installed in the through hole 2, the rubber sleeve 4 will be deformed due to the extrusion of the inner wall of the connector 5 and the through hole 2 during the insertion process. The deformed rubber sleeve 4 will tightly fill the gap between the connector 5 and the through hole 2, forming a sealed connection. In this way, not only can water leakage be prevented, but also external dust, moisture and the like can be prevented from entering the inside of the protection mechanism 1 through the gap, thereby ensuring the normal operating environment of the water meter counter 9.
