Description
The present invention relates to a tamper-resistant hot water meter, and more particularly, to an improved tamper resistance meter for use in a hot water meter, which can accurately measure the flow meter reading of the used hot water without being manipulated by a magnet outside, The present invention relates to an anti-tampering hot water meter capable of preventing the hot water meter from falling into the meter.
The hot water meter measures the amount of hot water supplied to each household in order to calculate the hot water usage fee charged to each household of the apartment house.
These hot water meters are installed in each household where residents live, and are used to measure and display the amount of hot water used in each household. Each district heating corporation transfers hot water to each household, measures the amount of hot water used in each household, and imposes a corresponding charge.
The amount of hot water measured in the hot water meter installed in each household is calculated by reading the value indicated by the hot water meter by the meter reading unit belonging to the local business establishment in the area, do.
The contents of the meter reading recorded by the meter reading unit are compiled at the relevant administrative establishment and issued in the form of a bill of payment for the calorie used for each household or each thermal utilization complex. In addition, a remote meter reading management system for remotely checking the usage amount of hot water calculated from the hot water meter installed in each household has been proposed and applied instead of the direct visit of the meter reader.
However, when a general resident of a household in which a hot water meter is installed maliciously uses a magnet having a strong magnetism on one side of the hot water meter for the purpose of reducing the charge for hot water usage, There is a problem that the fee can be set to be as low as that. Recently, problems have become serious enough to become a social issue due to the manipulation of hot water meters in apartment complexes.
In addition, there is a problem that the hot water meter must be replaced or repaired because friction of components, damage and deformation of components are caused by mechanical operation when the hot water meter is operated using a magnet.
In addition, the measuring member of the conventional hot water meter has a problem that it is seated in the groove of the upper surface of the impeller provided therein, so that it easily separates when the impeller rotates or generates noisy noise, and the durability of the impeller assembly deteriorates.
