Problems solved by technology

[0004] The designs known from the prior art for such housings have the disadvantage that the terminal cover part, the outer cover part and the base part are produced independently of each other
This results in increased manufacturing, shipping and assembly effort, and thus makes the production of the housing, and thus the utility meter, cumbersome and expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 A schematic perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a utility meter 1 according to the invention in a fully assembled state F is shown. The utility meter extends along a longitudinal direction X, a transverse direction Y and a height direction Z which together form a Cartesian coordinate system. The utility meter 1 has a first embodiment of a housing 2 providing an insulating housing for housing the electronic components and conductor connection means of the utility meter 1 . The housing 2 includes a cover 3 and a base 4 . The cover 3 comprises a main cover part 5, an outer terminal cover part 6 and an inner terminal cover part 7, 7' (see Figure 2 to Figure 4 ).

[0032] The main cover part 5 has an outer cover part 8 and an inner cover part 9 . The outer cover part 8 surrounds the inner cover part 9 circumferentially and provides a cover frame 10 and a cover opening with an inner circumference 12 surrounding an outer circumference 13 of the inner c...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a Method for manufacturing an enclosure (2, 2') for a utility meter (1), wherein at least two of a main cover part (5, 5'), an exterior terminal cover part (6, 6'), and an interior terminal cover part (7, 7') are at least partly formed jointly as a cover assembly (33, 33') in an injection moulding device. Further, the present invention relates to a utility meter (1) with an enclosure (2, 2') manufactured by a method according to the present invention.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a housing for a utility meter, and to a utility meter having a housing. Background technique [0002] Utility meters, such as electricity meters, are known from the prior art and are used to determine the consumption of media such as water or gas or the consumption of supplied electrical energy. To connect the utility meter to a power source or electrical energy source to be supplied and metered, the utility meter includes a conductor connection device including terminals configured to receive bare ends of electrical wires delivering electrical energy. For measuring consumption and for communicating via wired and wireless connections, utility meters include circuitry, for example arranged on and as a printed circuit board. Furthermore, the utility meter includes control elements such as displays, buttons, etc., so that they can be adjusted and operated by a corresponding operator, eg, the person who installs an...
