AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, it is difficult to retrofit old mechanical water meters, there is a lack of efficient non-intrusive reading solutions, and electronic direct reading solutions are costly and have poor compatibility.
Design an image capturing device for water meter boxes, including a mounting frame, a vertical plate, an inner mounting plate, and an image acquisition camera. The device is connected to the water meter box by screws. The image acquisition camera directly captures the water meter readings, and the data is transmitted in conjunction with a repeater. It is equipped with a supplementary light and lens protection to achieve non-invasive reading.
It enables non-intrusive reading of old mechanical water meters, reducing retrofit costs, improving reading efficiency, and does not require changes to the water meter structure, providing sufficient operating space for disassembly, assembly, and maintenance.
