[0002] Water meter boxes are important facilities used to protect water meters and ensure their accuracy and safe operation. In winter, or in areas prone to severe cold weather, antifreeze and insulated water meter boxes are usually used to prevent water meters from freezing or being damaged, thus protecting the water meters and ensuring their normal operation and the normal water supply for residents.

[0003] While existing antifreeze and heat-insulated water meter boxes can prevent water meters from freezing by lining the inner wall with a layer of insulation material or by using heating, the installation process is still inconvenient. Installers typically place the water meter into the box with one hand and insert the water pipe into the box with the other, then use tools to connect the pipe to the meter. This process requires the installer to hold the meter constantly, and existing meter boxes lack supporting structures to secure the meter. This hinders the connection of the water pipe and meter, impedes quick installation, and reduces installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes an antifreeze and heat-insulating water meter box to solve the problem that existing water meter boxes lack a structure to support and fix the water meter, thus preventing the rapid installation of the water meter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a freeze-proof and heat-insulating water meter box, comprising a box body, a hinged door that can be opened and closed on the front side of the box body, and pipe holes for water supply pipes to pass through on both sides of the box body, a graphene heat-insulating layer provided on the inner wall of the box body, and a power supply component for supplying power to the graphene heat-insulating layer provided on the top of the box body. The interior of the housing is also provided with a support assembly to support the water meter. The support assembly includes an installation strip fixed to the inner wall of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the housing is further provided with a sealing assembly for sealing the gap between the water pipe and the pipe hole, and the sealing assembly includes a sealing sleeve inserted into the pipe hole. One end of the sealing sleeve is provided with an outer ring, and the middle of the sealing sleeve is provided with a through hole through which the water supply pipe passes. A magnetic fixing member is provided between the outer ring and the housing to limit the sealing sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the magnetic fastener includes a pin installed on one side of the outer ring, one end of the pin is provided with a first magnetic block, the side wall of the housing is provided with a pin hole that cooperates with the pin, and the inside of the pin hole is provided with a second magnetic block that cooperates with the first magnetic block.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning block is provided on one side of the second magnetic block, and a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning block is provided on one side of the first magnetic block, so as to facilitate stable docking of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] like Figures 1-3 as well as Figure 5As shown, an antifreeze and heat-insulating water meter box includes a box body 1, a hinged door 2 on the front of the box body 1, and pipe holes 8 for water supply pipes to pass through on both sides of the box body 1. A graphene insulation layer 7 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 1, and a power supply component 3 for supplying power to the graphene insulation layer 7 is provided on the top of the box body 1. A sealing strip 6 is installed on one side of the box body 1, and a sealing groove that cooperates with the sealing strip 6 is provided on one side of the door 2. The box body 1 can be made of materials such as stainless steel, iron, plastic steel, and titanium-magnesium alloy. The graphene insulation layer 7 is made of graphene insulation material, which combines the high strength and high temperature resistance of graphene with low thermal conductivity through porous structure design and composite reinforcement, thereby achieving efficient heat insulation. The interior of the housing 1 is also provided with a support component 5 to support the water meter. The support component 5 includes an installation strip 52 fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The installation strip 52 is provided with two support plates 51, and each of the two support plates 51 is provided with an arc groove 55 for placing the two ports of the water meter.

[0018] In use, first install the housing 1 in the corresponding position, then insert one end of the inlet pipe and one end of the outlet pipe into the housing 1 through the pipe holes 8 on both sides of the housing 1, respectively. Then connect one end of the inlet pipe and one end of the outlet pipe to the inlet end and the outlet end of the water meter, respectively. Then close the door 2 for use, so as to measure the user's water consumption through the water meter. During use, the graphene insulation layer 7 can be powered by the power supply 3. In summer, the graphene insulation layer 7 can insulate the inside of the housing 1 to prevent the water meter from being exposed to the sun. In winter, the graphene insulation layer 7 can keep the inside of the housing 1 warm to avoid damage to the water meter and ensure that the water meter can operate normally in cold weather. Furthermore, when installing the water meter into the housing 1, the water meter can be placed on two support plates 51 so that the two ends of the water meter can be snapped into the arc groove 55. Then, the inlet pipe and outlet pipe are connected to the water meter respectively, thereby supporting and fixing the water meter. This eliminates the need for the installer to hold the water meter in one hand and use tools in the other to connect the water pipe to the water meter port, thus improving the convenience of water meter installation and facilitating the rapid installation of the water meter. Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, each of the two support plates 51 has a slot at one end for inserting the mounting strip 52. A slider 54 is installed on the inner wall of the slot. The top and bottom of the mounting strip 52 are provided with grooves 53 that cooperate with the slider 54.

[0019] When the water meter is installed into the housing 1, the installer can place the water meter on the two support plates 51. At this time, the installer can adjust the distance between the two support plates 51 according to the type of water meter, that is, pull the two support plates 51 so that the distance between the two support plates 51 meets the size of the water meter. Then, the two ends of the water meter are inserted into the arc grooves 55 on the two support plates 51 to support the water meter, thereby realizing the adjustability of the support component 5, which is convenient for supporting different types of water meters, thus improving the practicality of the water meter box and facilitating the rapid installation of different types of water meters.

[0020] In this embodiment, in order to supply power to the graphene insulation layer 7, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the power supply unit 3 includes a battery compartment 31, in which a removable battery 33 is provided, and a removable cover 32 is installed on the top of the battery compartment 31. The cover 32 and the battery compartment 31 are connected by a common snap-fit ​​method, such as the snap-fit ​​fixing method between the battery cover and the outer shell on a TV or air conditioner remote control. This is a commonly used technology and will not be described in detail here. Meanwhile, in actual use, the power supply component 3 can also be powered by photovoltaic power generation or directly connected to the mains power, depending on actual needs, to supply power to the graphene insulation layer 7.

[0021] Additionally, in one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the housing 1 is also provided with a sealing component 4 to seal the gap between the water pipe and the pipe hole 8. The sealing component 4 includes a sealing sleeve 41 inserted into the pipe hole 8. One end of the sealing sleeve 41 is provided with an outer ring 42, and the middle of the sealing sleeve 41 is provided with a through hole 45 through which the water supply pipe passes. A magnetic fastener is provided between the outer ring 42 and the housing 1 to limit the sealing sleeve 41.

[0022] Specifically, the magnetic fastener includes a pin 43 installed on one side of the outer ring 42. One end of the pin 43 is provided with a first magnetic block 46. The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a pin hole 44 that cooperates with the pin 43, and a second magnetic block 48 that cooperates with the first magnetic block 46 is provided inside the pin hole 44.

[0023] When the water pipe is inserted into the housing 1 and connected to the water meter, the sealing sleeve 41 is first inserted into the pipe hole 8, so that the pin 43 on the outer ring 42 of the cylinder is inserted into the pin hole 44 on the housing 1. Then, the first magnetic block 46 and the second magnetic block 48 attract each other under the action of magnetism to magnetically fix the sealing sleeve 41. The sealing sleeve 41 and the pipe hole 8 are interference fit to ensure that the sealing sleeve 41 seals the pipe hole 8. Then the water pipe passes through the through hole 45. At this time, the sealing sleeve 41 is put on the water pipe to seal the gap between the water pipe and the pipe hole 8. This not only avoids the problem of dust or moisture entering the housing 1 due to the gap between the water pipe and the pipe hole 8, thus achieving the effect of dustproof and waterproof, but also prevents cold air from overflowing into the housing 1, thus achieving the effect of antifreeze for the water meter. This can extend the service life of the water meter and facilitate the normal use of the water meter in cold weather.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning block 49 is provided on one side of the second magnetic block 48, and a positioning groove 47 that cooperates with the positioning block 49 is provided on one side of the first magnetic block 46.

[0025] When the first magnetic block 46 and the second magnetic block 48 are magnetically attracted and fixed, the positioning block 49 will be inserted into the positioning groove 47 to quickly position the first magnetic block 46 and the second magnetic block 48, thereby facilitating the stable installation of the sealing sleeve 41.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
