[0032] In related technologies, a waterproof cover is typically installed on the controller to improve its waterproof performance. However, to prevent the waterproof cover from being blown away by the wind or falling off the controller, a mounting structure is usually added to the controller body to fix the waterproof cover to the controller body. However, the above settings require changes to the original structure of the controller body, making the structure complex.

[0033] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a waterproof cover 10 for a controller. The waterproof cover 10 includes a waterproof cover body 1 and a clamping assembly 2. The waterproof cover body 1 covers the outer periphery of the controller body 20. Threaded connection holes 111 are provided on opposite sides of the waterproof cover body 1. The clamping assembly 2 includes two opposing fasteners 21. The fasteners 21 are screwed through the corresponding threaded connection holes 111 and abut against the outer wall of the controller body 20, so that the two fasteners 21 together clamp the controller body 20. The waterproof cover 10 provided in this embodiment, by covering the outer periphery of the controller body 20 with the waterproof cover body 1, prevents rainwater from seeping into the controller body 20, thus improving the waterproof performance of the controller. Furthermore, the controller waterproof cover 10 is secured to the outer wall of the controller body 20 by two fasteners 21 that are screwed through the corresponding threaded connection holes 111 on the main body 1. This ensures the stability and reliability of the waterproof cover 10 around the controller body 20 without altering its original structure, resulting in a simple structure. Additionally, the controller waterproof cover 10 provided in this embodiment can be easily installed and removed from the controller body 20 by simply tightening the fasteners 21.

[0034] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the controller waterproof cover 10 includes at least two spaced-apart clamping components 2. In this embodiment, the controller waterproof cover 10 includes two spaced-apart clamping components 2. This arrangement allows four fasteners 21 to jointly clamp the controller body 20, further improving the stability and reliability of the controller waterproof cover 10 covering the outer periphery of the controller body 20. In other embodiments, the specific number of clamping components 2 can be set according to requirements.

[0035] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the waterproof cover body 1 includes two connecting posts 11, which are located on opposite sides of the waterproof cover body 1, and each connecting post 11 has a threaded connection hole 111. The threaded connection hole 111 in the connecting post 11 allows for threaded connection with the fastener 21, ensuring sufficient threaded connection area between the fastener 21 and the waterproof cover body 1, further guaranteeing the stability of the connection between the fastener 21 and the waterproof cover body 1. It should be noted that the number of connecting posts 11 is the same as the number of fasteners 21, with multiple connecting posts 11 corresponding to multiple fasteners 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the fastener 21 includes a screw portion 211 and a tightening operation portion 212 connected to each other. The screw portion 211 is threadedly connected to the threaded connection hole 111 on the corresponding side, and the end of the screw portion 211 is tightened through the threaded connection hole 111 on the corresponding side and abuts against the outer wall of the controller body 20. It should be noted that the tightening operation portion 212 abuts against the end face of the connecting post 11, ensuring the tightness of the threaded connection between the fastener 21 and the connecting post 11.

[0037] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the screwing operation part 212 includes a plurality of protrusions 2121 extending radially along the screw part 211, and the plurality of protrusions 2121 are arranged at intervals circumferentially along the screwing operation part 212. This arrangement facilitates operation of the screwing operation part 212 by an operator without a screwing tool, and facilitates the installation and removal of the controller waterproof cover 10. Optionally, in this embodiment, the screwing operation part 212 includes four protrusions 2121 extending radially along the screw part 211, making the screwing operation part 212 have a cross structure. In other embodiments, the specific number of protrusions 2121 and the specific shape of the screwing operation part 212 can be set according to requirements.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the controller body 20 has an outwardly protruding step 201, and the fastener 21 abuts against the lower end face of the step 201. By abutting the lower end face of the step 201, the fastener 21 supports and limits the step 201, preventing the controller body 20 from falling out of the controller waterproof cover 10, and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the controller waterproof cover 10 covering the outer periphery of the controller body 20. Specifically, the screw portion 211 abuts against the lower end face of the step 201. It should be noted that the existing controller body 20 has a built-in annular step 201 on its outer wall, allowing the fastener 21 to directly utilize the existing step 201 on the controller body 20 to support and position the controller body 20.

[0039] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first clearance notch 161 is provided on the side wall of the waterproof cover body 1.

The first side wall plate 13, second side wall plate 14, third side wall plate 15, and fourth side wall plate 16 are connected end-to-end in sequence, with the first side wall plate 13 and third side wall plate 15 facing each other, and the second side wall plate 14 and fourth side wall plate 16 facing each other. The top plate 12, first side wall plate 13, second side wall plate 14, third side wall plate 15, and fourth side wall plate 16 together form a covering space for the controller body 20. The first side wall plate 13 and third side wall plate 15 are each provided with threaded connection holes 111. This structural design of the waterproof cover body 1 ensures the waterproof effect of the waterproof cover body 1 on the controller body 20. It should be noted that both the first side wall panel 13 and the third side wall panel 15 are provided with connecting posts 11. The threaded connecting hole 111 in the connecting post 11 on the first side wall panel 13 penetrates the first side wall panel 13, and the threaded connecting hole 111 in the connecting post 11 on the third side wall panel 15 penetrates the third side wall panel 15. It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the fourth side wall panel 16 is provided with a first clearance notch 161, and the second side wall panel 14 is provided with a second clearance notch 141.

[0042] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment also provides a controller, which includes a controller body 20 and the aforementioned controller waterproof cover 10, the controller waterproof cover 10 being fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the controller body 20. The controller provided in this embodiment improves the waterproof performance of the controller by applying the aforementioned controller waterproof cover 10, without altering the original structure of the controller body 20. The structure is simple, and it also ensures the stability and reliability of the controller waterproof cover 10 covering the outer periphery of the controller body 20.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, the controller is a flow meter controller, which is used to control the opening degree of the flow meter. However, it is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the controller may be other types of controllers.
