The I transceiver can receive the image data transmitted by the transmission. The image database can store the image data received by the transceiver. The image processing component can recognize and calculate the value displayed by the reading window according to the image tribute. The beneficial effect of the novel is that the image capturing device can insert the image of the reading window, and the integration center can receive the image taken by each meter reading device, and then display the reading window according to the received image data. The value is converted into a digital signal, which saves manpower by eliminating the need to manually read and record the records. [Embodiment] The foregoing and other technical contents, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. Referring to Figures 1 '2, 3, a preferred embodiment of the novel meter reading device 1 can be mounted on a plurality of meters. Each meter 4 contains a read window 4〇1 that displays the value for reading. It should be noted that these instruments 40 may be water meters, electricity meters or gas meters in actual use. The meter reading device 10 of the embodiment comprises: a plurality of meter readers 2 mounted on the meter 4, and a unified host M420789 capable of exchanging data with the meter reader 2. a housing 21 movably mounted on the front side of the meter 4, an image pickup member 22 mounted in the housing 21, a storage member 23 for storing digital data, and a power supply mounted in the housing 21 A piece 24, an illuminable lighting member 25, and a transmission member % for exchanging data with the integrated host 3. The housing 21 includes a hollow housing 211 and a pivoting member 212 that connects the housing 211 to the meter 40. One end of the pivoting member 212 is fixed to the meter 40, and the other end is mounted on the housing 211, and the housing 211 is tilted relative to the meter 4. The image capturing member 22 is located on the front side of the meter 40 and is aligned with the reading chime 401 to capture the image of the reading window 4〇1. The image data taken by the image capturing member π can be stored in the storage member 23. In the preferred embodiment, the image capturing member 22 is assembled from a lens and a photosensitive member. The power supply member 24 can provide power and electrically connect the image capturing member 22, and includes a power supply member 241 mounted in the housing 211 and a power switch 242 protruding from the body 211. The power switch 242 is used to control the power source #241 to be turned on or off. In the preferred embodiment, the power source is powered by a battery, but it can also be a transformer and connected to a general socket by a plug, so that it is not limited to a battery. The illuminating member 25 is mounted on the housing 211 and can emit light toward the reading window to assist in a month to improve the sharpness of the image. In the present embodiment, the illuminating member 25 is a plurality of illuminating diodes. The transmitting member 26 is electrically connected to the storage member Μ and can receive the signal sent by the integrated host 5 to drive the image capturing member 22 to capture an image. In addition, 5 =: the cow 26 can transmit the image captured by the image manipulation member 22, that is, the stored product; the stored shirt image data is transmitted to the integrated host 3. In this preferred embodiment, the transport component 26 is an Ethernet card. The main unit 3 includes a transceiving unit 31 capable of transmitting and receiving data, an image file library 32' for storing the image data, and an image processing unit 32' for storing image data, and - The electrical data is connected to the image processing unit 33 and can store the numerical data library % of the numerical data. The transceiver 31 can receive the image transmitted by the transmission unit of each meter reader 2, like the poor material, that is, the image that can be received by each of the meter readers 2, and store the image data received by the transceiver unit 31. In the image database 32, in the preferred implementation, the green hairlet 31 transmits data through the Internet and the watch reader 2, but may also be connected through a wireless network. In addition, the integrated host 3 and the like The meter reader 2 can also be connected through a separate area network to provide community-scale services, that is, the unified host 3 is a server installed in the community. The image processing unit 33 performs recognition based on the image data in the image database 32, that is, the image including the reading window, and calculates the digital data of the numerical value displayed by the reading window 401. The digital data of the value is stored in the value f bank 34. In other words, the image processing unit 33 converts the value displayed by the reading window 4〇1 into digital data using image data, and stores it in the numerical data library 34. In the embodiment of the present invention, the image processing unit 33 is an image processing chip. However, according to various instruments 40, a (4) identification program, such as a financial or pointer position recognition program, may be built. The integrated host 3 is a system for collecting the usage status of each user, for example, a meter reading and billing system of a gas company, a water company, or a power company. In this embodiment, the user can first open the power switch 242 to make the m 2 in the standby state. At this time, the material wheel member 26 is coupled with the integrated host 3, and when the integrated host 3 is to operate the user. When the image of the meter 40 is 'transmitted to the (four) the output 26, and the image capture unit u is driven, the transmission unit 26 of the meter 2 is cut and the image manipulation unit 22 is operated to transmit the image to the integration. 3, and stored in the image database 32. Then, the image processing unit 33 of the integrated host 3 uses the image data stored in the image database 32 to perform identification, and stores the recognized value in the numerical data library 34, that is, the user's reading is calculated. Taking the digital data of the numerical value displayed by the window 401, and further for clearing the new meter reading device 1C), the type of the measuring device and the instrument can be transmitted through the digital image. The number (4) (four) digital information displayed in the reading window 4〇1 can not only eliminate the labor cost of reading the meter and record by the household, but also effectively reduce the engineering cost of the equipment for measuring and measuring. In addition, since the meter reader 2 transfers the image of the instrument 4 () of the client to the integrated host 3 of the service provider and stores the file, if the billing has doubts, it can be confirmed by the image, which can be effectively reduced. Billing dispute. Moreover, the image interpretation portion is executed on the integrated host 3 without the need to hang the image processing chip on each of the meter readers 2, thereby effectively reducing the cost of the device. It is worth mentioning that the pivoting member 212 is worth mentioning. Since the housing 211 is mounted on the meter 40, the user needs to confirm the current usage status, for example, when viewing the currently used gas degree, only need to The housing 211 is lifted up, that is, the reading window 4〇1 can be directly viewed, and thus has a function convenient for the user to confirm. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent change and modification made by the novel patent application scope and the novel description content, All remain within the scope of this new patent.
