The fixed frame 31 provides basic support for the entire auxiliary structure 3, allowing the movable frame 32 to slide smoothly inside it, making it convenient for users to view the gas meter reading or perform maintenance operations. The transparent plate 33 inside the movable frame 32 is made of polycarbonate (PC) material, which protects the gas meter display from external damage without affecting data reading. The transparent plate 33 is sealed with the fixed frame 31 and the movable frame 32 to prevent dust and moisture from entering. The installation handle 34 allows users to push and pull the movable frame 32 to open and close the transparent plate 33. The iron pillar 35 and magnetic block 36 ensure that when the movable frame 32 is opened, it can be stably attracted to the top inside the fixed frame 31, making it convenient for users to operate the gas meter body.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the protective structure 2 includes a fixed shell 21, the front side of the outer side of the fixed shell 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 31, and the front side of the fixed shell 21 is movably connected to the rear side of the movable frame 32.
