1. Introduction

Against the backdrop of rural revitalization and agricultural modernization, rural drinking water safety and management have become the focus of social attention. As an important component of intelligent water management systems, IoT agricultural drinking water meters have brought revolutionary changes to rural drinking water management by integrating IoT technology and intelligent metering functions. This article will focus on the functional advantages of IoT agricultural drinking water meters, and explore in depth their core values in improving management efficiency, ensuring water safety, and promoting water conservation and emission reduction.

2、 The core functions of IoT agricultural drinking water meters

1. Real time monitoring and remote meter reading

The IoT agricultural drinking water meter is equipped with a built-in4G Cat1 communication module enables real-time data exchange with cloud servers. One of its core functions isreal-time monitoringIt can upload various data on a regular and stable basis, including key information such as the remaining amount in the table, cumulative usage in the previous period, water consumption in the current period, tiered water prices, and water meter status. Through remote meter reading technology, management personnel can obtain user water usage data without on-site operation, significantly improving meter reading efficiency and reducing labor costs.

2. Prepaid management and intelligent billing

This water meter supportsPrepaid modeUsers need to recharge in advance to use water resources. When the balance is insufficient, the water will be automatically cut off until they recharge again. The system monitors user balances in real-time, provides balance query and recharge record query functions, and ensures transparent charging. Meanwhile, through the tiered water pricing system, water meters can automatically adjust their billing standards based on water usage, encouraging users to conserve water and optimize water resource allocation.

3. Abnormal alarm and fault diagnosis

IoT agricultural drinking water meter equipped withFault self check and alarm functionWhen data failure or abnormal measurement data is detected, the system automatically triggers an alarm mechanism and sends notifications to management personnel through the cloud platform. This function can detect abnormal situations such as water leakage and theft in a timely manner, reducing water resource waste and economic losses.

4. Flexible configuration and remote management

Water meter supportRemote parameter configurationManagement personnel can adjust the reporting interval of meters and select the type of data to be uploaded through the cloud platform, and configure multiple window opening time periods to achieve real-time meter reading. In addition, the remote control function allows management personnel to remotely open or close the water meter valve, enhancing emergency response capabilities.

3、 The functional advantages of IoT agricultural drinking water meters

1. Improve management efficiency and reduce operating costs

The traditional manual meter reading method has problems such as low efficiency, large errors, and high costs. The IoT agricultural drinking water meter eliminates manual intervention and significantly reduces management costs through automated meter reading and remote management. Management personnel can monitor water usage data in real-time, promptly detect and handle anomalies, and improve overall operational efficiency.

2. Ensure water safety and reduce resource waste

Real time monitoring and abnormal alarm functions can promptly detect problems such as water leakage and theft, avoiding water resource waste. The prepaid model and tiered water pricing mechanism guide users to use water reasonably and cultivate water-saving awareness through economic leverage. According to statistics, the use of IoT water meters can reduce water waste in rural areasMore than 30%.

3. Enhance user experience and improve service transparency

Users can use their mobile phonesCheck water usage, balance, and recharge records at any time on the APP or webpage to achieve transparent consumption. The prepaid model avoids the lag of traditional meter reading and charging, allowing users to real-time grasp water costs and improve satisfaction.

4. Support data analysis and optimize resource allocation

The historical data uploaded by the water meter can provide decision-making support for the management department. By analyzing water usage trends and abnormal behaviors, the layout of the pipeline network can be optimized, water supply strategies can be adjusted, and water resource utilization efficiency can be improved. In addition, the data export function facilitates the generation of reports and provides scientific basis for policy-making.

5. Adapt to complex environments, deploy flexibly and conveniently

4G Cat1 communication technology has the characteristics of high speed, stability, and wide coverage, and is suitable for remote rural areas. The water meter adopts a low-power design, which extends battery life and reduces maintenance costs. Meanwhile, the modular structure supports rapid installation and expansion, meeting the water management needs of rural areas of different scales.

4、 Application scenarios and case analysis

1. Rural centralized water supply system

In a rural centralized water supply project, IoT agricultural drinking water meters achieve real-time collection and remote monitoring of water usage data for all village users. By implementing tiered water pricing and prepayment models, villagers can reduce their water usage costsBy 20%, the leakage rate of the pipeline network has decreased by 15%, and the project has significantly improved the efficiency of water resource utilization.

2. Management of agricultural irrigation water

In agricultural irrigation scenarios, water meters accurately measure irrigation water usage and combine with soil moisture sensors to achieve intelligent irrigation. By remotely controlling valves, farmers can flexibly adjust their water usage according to crop needs, resulting in good water-saving effects.

5、 Conclusion and Prospect

IoT agricultural drinking water meter with itsReal time monitoring, prepaid management, abnormal alarm, remote controlThe core functions demonstrate significant advantages in improving management efficiency, ensuring water safety, and promoting water conservation and emission reduction. With the deepening of rural drinking water safety projects and the continuous innovation of IoT technology, this water meter will become a part of rural water managementimportantThe tools. In the future, with5G、 The integration and application of technologies such as big data will further optimize the functions of IoT agricultural drinking water meters, promote the development of intelligent and refined rural water management, and provide solid support for the rural revitalization strategy.
