Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water meter box technology, and in particular to a convenient wall-mounted water meter box for easy maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of water supply, drainage, and air conditioning, water meters are typically installed for regional water usage measurement. However, for many projects, especially renovation projects, there are no water pipe shafts in the construction area. If there is only one water pipe shaft on a floor, it is difficult to traverse the entire floor to reach the main water pipe shaft. In most renovation construction areas, the main pipeline is connected nearby, making it difficult to measure water usage in this area. Setting up a separate water pipe shaft would have a significant impact on the layout of the area and would be costly. Without a water pipe shaft, it is difficult to inspect and repair directly in the ceiling, and there is a high risk of leakage causing significant damage. Exposed water meters are also unsightly and easily damaged. Wall-mounted water meter boxes are needed to solve the problems of difficult water meter inspection, large space occupation, and significant impact on the decorative surface and floor plan.

Second, because it uses a water supply pipe fixed to the box body at one end, it ensures a stable and effective long-term connection with the aluminum-plastic composite pipe. Even when replacing the water meter and valves, this connection remains stable and reliable, thus ensuring that the aluminum-plastic composite pipeline will not be damaged within fifty years.

[0004] In the aforementioned wall-mounted water meter boxes, the water meters and valves are suspended inside the box. When subjected to external forces, the suspended water meters and valves will vibrate, which will accelerate the wear of the internal parts of the water meter and shorten the service life of the equipment. At the same time, when the water meter needs to be replaced, the suspended installation may make the replacement process more complicated and time-consuming, affecting the user's normal water use.

The second bevel gear 554 drives the lead screw 551 to rotate via the first bevel gear 552. The lead screw 551 drives the support plate 54 upward via the lifting block 53, thus supporting the water meter. The support plate 54, which is raised and lowered, supports the water meter, and the valve support 57, which in turn supports the valve installation. This prevents the water meter and valve from being suspended in mid-air, avoiding vibration under external forces and reducing wear on the internal parts of the water meter, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, when the water meter needs to be replaced, the complexity is reduced and time is saved without affecting the user's normal water use. Furthermore, the tool box 561 allows for the categorized storage of professional disassembly tools, preventing operators from forgetting to bring the necessary tools and wasting time, thus improving maintenance efficiency.
