[0002] Remote water meters are a new type of water meter that measures water consumption, transmits water data, and settles transactions. To make people's lives more convenient, the combination of the two has emerged to avoid the error rate of manual meter reading. However, existing remote water meters are difficult to replace and maintain some internal modules, batteries, electronic components, etc. during use, which is cumbersome and affects the efficiency of inspection and maintenance.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patent document publication number CN219511607U discloses an easy-to-maintain IoT remote water meter, comprising a dial, a protective box installed on one side of the dial, and a connecting shaft on the other side of the dial. A flip cover is connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft, and a glass plate is embedded at the top of the flip cover. A locking block is fixed to one side of the inner wall of the protective box, and a sliding plate protrudes from the inside of the locking block.

[0004] However, it still has some drawbacks in actual use. For example, the dial is connected to the flip cover by a connecting shaft, and the digital display is easily viewed through the glass plate. By pulling the sliding plate, it slides along the locking block on the protective box to maintain and replace the internal electronic components and other modules, which is convenient for switching and maintenance. However, the protective box is connected to the dial by bolts. When it is necessary to maintain the internal components, the bolts need to be frequently disassembled and reassembled, which is time-consuming. Moreover, the bolts are prone to corrosion, making them difficult to disassemble and affecting the maintenance work. Utility Model Content
