In general, a water meter is a device to determine the amount of water used for a certain period of time at each place by accurately measuring the flow rate of water supplied through the water by being installed by a place where water is supplied, that is, a protective box under the ground that is relatively low outdoors. In addition, it is essentially installed in each home or factory that uses water. However, the water meter may freeze the water meter or the pipe connected to the water meter when a cold winter strikes, and in severe cases, the water meter may freeze, making it impossible to operate or severely leaking water, and at the same time, it may not function at all. It often happens that you are put into a situation where you cannot. Since these water meters have a lot of problems due to freezing waves, they are reducing freezing waves by using underground geothermal heat in recent years. In addition, since the operator has to carry out the work inside the ground when installing or replacing the water meter protective box, the workability is significantly degraded because the work tool used during the work has to be always held.

For example, according to Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0418493,'a water meter box (10) in which a water meter (5) is installed inside, and an insulating cover (6) for protecting the water meter (5) is built-in. The fuselage (1) of the body (1), the lid (2) that is opened and closed to make the construction convenient and the amount of use can be checked easily, and the inlet pipe (7) is assembled on both sides of the bottom of the fuselage (1) Two support pipes (3) to protect the water outlet pipe (7') and a pedestal (4) coupled to the lower end of the support pipe (3), and an inlet pipe installed through the inside of the support pipe (3) ( In a conventional water meter box composed of a heat insulation pipe (8) that is covered outside the water outlet pipe (7') and prevents freezing and freezing, the support pipe (3) is formed to penetrate up and down and has a number of radially on the inner diameter surface. However, the rib 31 is formed so that the end of the rib 31 touches the outer diameter surface of the inlet pipe 7 or the outlet pipe 7'to support the inlet pipe 7 or the outlet pipe 7', or , Or in a state where the thickness is thinly formed on the outside of the inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 7 ′, the end of the rib 31 is placed on the outer diameter of the insulating pipe 8 By forming to support the inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 7'and the heat retention pipe 8 in contact with each other, the inlet pipe 7 or the outlet pipe 7'is supported by the rib 31, and at the same time, the rib 31 A geothermal use structure of a water meter box, characterized in that a space 9 through which geothermal heat is circulated between) and the rib 31 is formed.

However, the geothermal use structure of the water meter box must have a portion through which the inflow of geothermal heat is easily penetrated in order to make the most of the geothermal heat, but this configuration does not exist, and there is no configuration that can be adjusted according to the location of the water meter, so it has limitations. The work is inconvenient because the work tool must always be gripped during work.

As another example, according to Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0371082,'Water supply in which a meter 13, a valve 14, and a pipe pipe 15 are installed in a protective container 12, and an insulating material 16 is installed around it. In the meter (10): a mounting hole (21) formed so as to be interposed and wrapped around the lower outer shape of the meter (13), and provided to pass through the lower end of the meter (13); A double pipe (22) connected to communicate with the mounting hole (21) and provided to prevent heat loss; And an expansion pipe (23) connected in communication with the double pipe (22) and provided to allow a large amount of geothermal heat embedded in the ground to flow in.

However, in order to maximize the use of geothermal heat, such a water meter's freeze-freeze prevention device must also have a portion through which geothermal heat is easily penetrated, but this configuration does not exist, and there is no configuration that can be adjusted according to the location of the water meter, so it is limited. Appears, and the inconvenience of work appears because the work tool must always be gripped during work.
