[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0028] Example:

[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0030] This utility model provides a gas meter with intelligent adjustment function, including a gas meter body 1; a display controller 101 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front end of the gas meter body 1, and the display controller 101 can display gas usage, pressure and other related information in real time for easy viewing by the user.

[0031] A push-pull cover 102 is slidably connected to the lower front of the gas meter body 1. A battery 103 is placed inside the push-pull cover 102, which provides power support for the operation of the entire gas meter. A circuit board 104 is installed at the rear of the gas meter body 1. The circuit board 104 is connected to the display controller 101 through a wiring harness to realize information transmission and command interaction between the two. When the push-pull cover 102 is retracted into the gas meter body 1, the rear plug of the battery 103 is plugged into the power supply plug of the circuit board 104 to ensure that the battery 103 can supply power to the circuit board 104 and other components normally.

[0032] Among them, the two pipes above the gas meter body 1 are each equipped with a safety pipe 2. The two safety pipes 2 are symmetrically designed, and a conical groove is provided at the lower part of the interior of the safety pipe 2.

[0033] Each safety tube 2 has an installation ring 201 located at the upper part of its interior, and an extension member 202 is installed at the lower part of each installation ring 201. The extension member 202 is connected to the circuit board 104 via a wire harness, and the circuit board 104 can control the extension and retraction state of the extension member 202.

[0034] The bottom of the extension member 202 is fixedly installed with a sealing pad 204. The bottom of the sealing pad 204 is designed with a conical structure, and a rubber ring is provided at the conical position of the sealing pad 204. The rubber ring can enhance the sealing between the sealing pad 204 and the conical groove of the safety tube 2.

[0035] When the extension member 202 is in the extended state, the conical position of the sealing pad 204 fits into the conical groove position of the safety pipe 2, thereby cutting off the flow of gas.

[0036] The extension member 202 has a spring member 203 sleeved on its outer side. The top of the spring member 203 is attached to the sealing pad 204, and the bottom of the spring member 203 is attached to the sealing pad 204. When the extension member 202 retracts, the spring member 203 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the extension member 202 loses control, the elastic potential energy of the spring member 203 is released, which can help push the sealing pad 204 to fit into the conical groove of the safety tube 2, further ensuring safety.

[0037] When using:

[0038] Battery 103 supplies power to circuit board 104 and display controller 101, which displays gas-related data in real time.

[0039] When the display controller 101 detects abnormal conditions such as gas leakage, it transmits a signal to the circuit board 104. The circuit board 104 controls the extension member 202 to extend, so that the conical position of the sealing pad 204 fits tightly against the conical groove of the safety pipe 2, cutting off the gas supply.

[0040] After the abnormal situation is eliminated, the circuit board 104 controls the extension 202 to retract, and the spring 203 retracts accordingly, and the gas supply is restored to normal. When the battery 103 needs to be replaced, the push-pull cover 102 is slid out from the gas meter body 1. At this time, the battery 103 is disconnected from the circuit board 104.

[0041] After replacing battery 103, push the push-pull cover 102 back to its original position to restore the power supply connection between battery 103 and circuit board 104.

[0042] Although this application has been described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this application as defined by the appended claims. While this specification contains details of many specific implementations, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular embodiments. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents, and is not limited to the embodiments described above.
