[0020] The water meter body 1 collects water consumption data from the display panel via a miniature wireless camera 4 installed inside the visible cover 3 on the surface of the intelligent control device 12. The collected images are wirelessly transmitted to the back-end terminal, facilitating remote verification of the consistency between the data transmitted by the wireless intelligent remote water meter and the miniature wireless camera 4. This effectively reduces errors in water consumption data collection and allows for timely detection and repair of malfunctioning wireless intelligent remote water meters. The front and rear moisture-proof covers 2 and 23 are fixed to the side of the intelligent control device 12 on the water meter body 1 to prevent external moisture from entering the internal electronic components of the water meter, thus extending the service life of the wireless intelligent remote water meter.
[0021] In this embodiment, pipe joints 11 are provided on both the left and right sides of the water meter body 1, and the front moisture-proof cover 2 and the rear moisture-proof cover 23 are symmetrically arranged around the outer end face of the water meter body 1. The intelligent control device 12 contains a data processing unit, a metering control module, a display module, and a wireless communication module.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the water meter body 1 is connected to the water supply pipe via pipe connector 11.
