[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a housing for a dual-channel water meter waterproof controller, including an outer shell 100, which is the housing for the dual-channel water meter waterproof controller. A cover 400 is inserted into the outer shell 100 to seal the outer shell 100. A heat dissipation mechanism 200 is installed inside the outer shell 100. By providing the heat dissipation mechanism 200, the airflow between the inside and outside of the dual-channel water meter waterproof controller housing is increased, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the dual-channel water meter waterproof controller. An installation and removal mechanism 300 is installed on the cover 400. The purpose of this is to facilitate the installation and removal of the cover 400, and to facilitate the maintenance of the controller inside the outer casing 100. The heat dissipation mechanism 200 includes a pipe 201, which is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 100. The pipe 201 is designed to support the installation of the dustproof net 202. One end of the pipe 201 passes through the outer casing 100 and is fixed with the dustproof net 202, which is made of metal wire mesh. The dustproof net 202 is designed to prevent impurities from entering the pipe 201. A mini fan 203 is installed inside the pipe 201. The mini fan 203 is designed to increase the airflow, thereby facilitating heat dissipation.

[0032] The installation and removal mechanism 300 includes a cavity 304, which is formed within the cover 400. The cavity 304 is a square groove and is designed to receive the installation of the slide rod 305. The slide rod 305 is fixed inside the cavity 304 and is designed to support the sliding of the sliding sleeve 307. The sliding sleeve 307 is slidably mounted on the slide rod 305. The slide sleeve 307 and the slide rod 305 together provide support for the rack 309. The purpose of motion limiting is to facilitate the linear movement of the rack 309. The bottom end of the sliding sleeve 307 is fixed with the rack 309. The rack 309 is set to support the installation of the insertion rod 303. One end of the rack 309 is fixed with the insertion rod 303. One end of the insertion rod 303 penetrates the side of the cover 400. The insertion rod 303 is cylindrical in shape and is set horizontally. The insertion rod 303 is set to be inserted into the slot 302.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0035] Specifically, there are two pipes 201, and both pipes 201 are cylindrical in shape.

[0036] The duct 201 is designed not only to receive the airflow inside and outside the casing, but also to receive the mini fan 203.

[0037] Specifically, the mini fan 203 includes a first fan and a second fan, which are respectively fixed in two pipes 201. The first fan has a blowing function and the second fan has a suction function.

[0038] The first and second fans have relatively small airflow. By setting up the first and second fans, it is easier to improve the airflow between the inside and outside of the casing 100 and facilitate the heat dissipation of the controller.

[0039] Specifically, one end of the pipe 201 has a threaded inner wall, and an installation ring 204 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the pipe 201. A breathable and waterproof membrane 205 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation ring 204.

[0040] By providing a threaded pipe 201, the installation ring 204 can be easily installed and removed, thereby enabling the breathable and waterproof membrane 205 to be disassembled and replaced. The installation ring 204 is provided to support the installation of the breathable and waterproof membrane 205. The breathable and waterproof membrane 205 serves the purpose of breathability and waterproofing, preventing moisture from entering the outer casing 100 during heat dissipation and thus affecting the controller.

[0041] Specifically, a first sealing groove 207 is provided at one end of the pipe 201, and a first sealing ring 206 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting ring 204.

[0042] The first sealing groove 207 and the first sealing ring 206 are designed to improve the sealing performance of the installation when the mounting ring 204 is installed into the pipe 201, so as to prevent moisture from entering the outer casing 100.

[0043] Specifically, the inner wall of the outer casing 100 is provided with two slots 302, both of which are cylindrical grooves.

[0044] The slot 302 is designed to receive the insertion of the plug 303, thereby securing the cover 400 to the outer casing 100.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0047] Specifically, the slide bar 305 is a square bar, and there are two slide bars 305, which are set horizontally.

[0048] The slide bar 305 is designed to support the sliding of the sleeve 307.

[0049] Specifically, there are two racks 309. A gear 310 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 304. The gear 310 meshes with the rack 309. A column 306 is fixedly installed at the top of the gear 310. One end of the column 306 penetrates the surface of the cover 400. A groove 312 is provided on the inner wall of the column 306. The groove 312 is square in shape. A slider 314 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the groove 312. The slider 314 is square in shape. A connecting rod 315 is fixedly installed at the top of the slider 314. One end of the connecting rod 315 penetrates the column 306 and is fixedly installed with a handle 301.

[0050] The gear 310 is designed to drive the racks 309 on both sides to slide in opposite directions when the gear 310 rotates. The slide groove 312 is designed to support the sliding of the slider 314. The slider 314 is designed to support the installation of the connecting rod 315. The connecting rod 315 is cylindrical. The connecting rod 315 is designed to support the installation of the handle 301. The handle 301 is designed to drive the column 306 to rotate through the connecting rod 315 and the slider 314.

[0051] Specifically, a spring 313 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide 312. The spring 313 is wound around the connecting rod 315. One end of the spring 313 is fixedly connected to the slider 314. A positioning post 311 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the handle 301. A positioning sleeve 308 is fixedly installed on the cover 400.

[0052] The spring 313 is designed to apply force to the handle 301 so that the positioning pin 311 can be inserted into the positioning sleeve 308, thereby fixing the handle 301.

[0053] Specifically, a second sealing groove 500 is provided at the top of the outer shell 100, and a second sealing ring 600 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the shell cover 400.

[0054] The second sealing groove 500 and the second sealing ring 600 are provided to increase the sealing between the outer shell 100 and the cover 400 and prevent moisture from entering the outer shell 100.

[0055] When in use, the mini fan 203 is activated. The mini fan 203 includes a first fan and a second fan, which are located in two pipes 201 respectively. The first fan has a blowing function, and the second fan has a suction function. When the first fan and the second fan are working, it is convenient to extract the gas inside the housing 100, which helps to increase the airflow within the housing 100, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation for the controller inside the housing 100. At the same time, during the heat dissipation process, the breathable waterproof membrane 205 and the dustproof net 202 are provided to increase the waterproof and dustproof functions, preventing impurities and moisture from entering the housing 100 and thus affecting the heat dissipation of the controller.

[0056] Furthermore, the installation ring 204 with threaded connection facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the breathable and waterproof membrane 205.

[0057] When the controller inside the housing needs to be inspected, pull the handle 301 upwards. The handle 301 will drive the positioning pin 311 away from the positioning sleeve 308. Then rotate the handle 301. The handle 301 will drive the column 306 to rotate through the connecting rod 315, the slider 314 and the slide groove 312. When the column 306 rotates, it will drive the gear 310 to rotate. The gear 310 meshes with the racks 309 on both sides, which will drive the racks 309 on both sides to move. Under the limiting action of the slide rod 305 and the slide sleeve 307, the racks 309 on both sides will move towards each other. When the racks 309 on both sides move, they will drive the insert rods 303 on both sides to move towards each other until one end of the insert rod 303 leaves the slot 302. At this time, the cover 400 can be removed from the outer shell 100, which will facilitate the inspection of the controller inside the outer shell 100.

[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
