[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0032] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0033] This utility model embodiment provides a landscape enclosure for exposed water meter sets and pipes in urban areas, such as... Figures 1 to 5As shown, it includes: a square box 10, which includes a first box 100 and a second box 200; both the first box 100 and the second box 200 include a square frame 101 and a side plate 102 disposed on the outside of the square frame 101, and the second box 200 is also provided with a top plate 103; the square frame 101 includes a plurality of vertical plates 111 disposed on the front and rear sides, and a horizontal plate 121 disposed perpendicular to the vertical plates 111; a support frame 300 is provided inside the square box 10, the support frame 300 includes a pair of upper support plates 301 disposed on the top of the square box 10, a pair of vertical support plates 302 are disposed on each pair of upper support plates 301, a lower support plate 303 is disposed at the lower end of the vertical support plates 302, and a semi-circular support ring 304 is disposed between the pair of vertical support plates 302; the surfaces of the side plates 102 and the top plate 103 are coated with a hydrophilic inorganic coating.

[0034] In specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, several third boxes 500 are arranged between the first box 100 and the second box 200; the first box 100, the third box 500, and the second box 200 are stacked sequentially; the first box 100 and the third box 500, two adjacent third boxes 500, and the third box 500 and the second box 200 are all connected by pins or clips. Installers only need to master the connection method of the pins or clips to install the box, enabling rapid installation without the need for separate training for each size, thus reducing operational complexity. Of course, the structure of the third box 500 is the same as that of the first box 100, both including a square frame and side panels located on the outside of the square frame.

[0035] The third box 500 may be omitted, or one or two may be provided; the number is not fixed.

[0036] The first box 100, the third box 500, and the second box 200 can be assembled as needed like building blocks, and can be quickly expanded into a frame structure of any size. It can adapt to different flood control scenarios (such as narrow channels, large-span entrances, etc.). The height can be flexibly adjusted by adding or removing modules according to different scenario requirements (for example, from 1 layer to 3 layers). The response speed is more than 50% faster than that of an integral baffle.

[0037] In addition, multiple boxes can be set on the front and rear sides of the first box 100, the third box 500, and the second box 200, so that the width of the entire box can be changed.

[0038] The design of the first box (100), the third box (500), and the second box (200) ensures that the dimensions are strictly matched during assembly, avoiding problems such as misalignment of interfaces or poor sealing caused by non-standard dimensions.

[0039] The first box (100), the third box (500), and the second box (200) can be mass-produced, reducing mold development and manufacturing costs. Since only basic modules need to be stocked, they can be combined according to actual needs, avoiding the stockpiling of finished baffles in various customized sizes.

[0040] If parts of the first enclosure 100, the third enclosure 500, or the second enclosure 200 are damaged, only the corresponding modules need to be replaced, without scrapping the entire baffle, reducing maintenance costs by more than 60%.

[0041] The disassembled first box 100, third box 500, and second box 200 can be stacked for storage, saving logistics space and making them especially suitable for the remote allocation of emergency supplies.

[0042] The first housing 100, the third housing 500, and the second housing 200 can distribute external forces to each unit node, making them more resistant to impact than a monolithic structure.

[0043] The failure of a single unit (first enclosure 100, third enclosure 500, second enclosure 200) will not cause the entire enclosure to collapse (adjacent enclosures can still be supported), thus ensuring higher safety.

[0044] Some of the enclosures can be replaced with functional modules such as observation windows and drain valves to achieve customized aesthetic enclosure solutions with a strong visual appeal.

[0045] The hydrophilic inorganic coating is resistant to acid rain, ultraviolet rays, oil stains, graffiti, bird droppings, etc., and can be cleaned by rainwater.

[0046] In practice, each of the four corners of the square box 10 is provided with an adjustable height support leg 400.

[0047] In practice, the top plate 103 is provided with an openable and closable top cover 113.

[0048] In practice, the square frame 101 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0049] In practice, the distance between two adjacent vertical plates 111 is equal.

[0050] In practice, the lower support plate 303 is fixedly installed at the lower edge of the square box 10.

[0051] In practice, both the side plate 102 and the top plate 103 are made of stainless steel.

[0052] In a specific implementation, each pair of vertical support plates 302 is provided with a mounting seat 305 for installing the support ring 304, and the mounting seat 305 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 306.

[0053] In specific implementation, the upper end of the support ring 304 is provided with a thread 307, and the upper end of the support ring 304 is provided with a nut 308 that is adapted to the thread 307.

[0054] In summary, this utility model discloses a landscape enclosure for exposed water meter sets and pipes in urban areas, comprising a square enclosure, which includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure. Both the first and second enclosures include a square frame and side panels disposed on the outer side of the square frame. The second enclosure also includes a top panel. The square frame includes multiple vertical panels disposed on the front and rear sides, and horizontal panels perpendicular to the vertical panels. A support frame is provided inside the square enclosure. The support frame includes a pair of upper support plates disposed on the top of the square enclosure.
