[0029] The limiting assembly 500 comprises a fixed shell 501 movably arranged on the outer wall of the hollow rod 404, the fixed shell 501 is connected with the equipment assembly 100, the fixed shell 501 is provided with the slot 502 at the upper end and the lower end, the clamping plate 503 rotatable in the slot 502, the clamping plate 503 is a curved plate, one end of the clamping plate 503 is a clamping end, and the other end is a pressing end, the elastic band 504 fixed to the clamping end of the outer wall of the clamping plate 503, in use, the screw rod 401 can drive the bolts 402 and the extruding assembly 300 to move until the clamping plate 503 is aligned with the clamping groove 405, the clamping plate 503 is pressed into the clamping groove 405 through the elastic band 504, so that the hollow rod 404 and the subsequent structure are limited, then the screw rod 401 can drive the bolts 402 to move, so that the bolts 402 can drive the extruding assembly 300 to move, in this process, the rotation of the screw rod 401 can drive the pointer 403 to rotate, the position of the pointer 403 pointing to the scale disc 406 can be used to determine the position adjusted by the screw rod 401 and the bolts 402, and then the extrusion force of the spring 303 in the extruding assembly 300 on the extruding plate 302 can be adjusted, so that the extruding assembly 300 has better extrusion force when the wires with different diameters are connected with the extruding assembly 300, and the problems of wire breakage caused by excessive extrusion and poor contact caused by insufficient extrusion are avoided.

[0030] Further, as shown in the seventh aspect, Figure 9 , 10 The connecting assembly 600 comprises a concave rod 601 matched with the through slot 202, a plurality of concave rods 601 can be arranged in one through slot 202, and the number of the concave rods 601 can be 2-3 according to the use requirement, and the tapered blocks 602 fixed to the two sides of the concave rod 601.

[0031] The conductor assembly 700 includes a top block 701 fixed on the top of the concave rod 601, an entering slot 702 arranged at the front end of the top block 701, two guide sheets 703 fixed on the top of the top block 701, and a length of the flow guide plate 205 can accommodate 2-3 guide sheets 703 for connection. The guide sheet 703 is a curved plate, which can clamp the wire head between the guide sheets 703 when the two opposite guide sheets 703 are pressed. The inclined plate 704 is fixed at the front end of the guide sheet 703. When the wire and the electric meter need to be connected, the wire head can be introduced from the entering slot 702 to the space between the two guide sheets 703. When the concave rod 601 is placed in the through slot 202, the tapered block 602 can enter the concave groove 204. After the placement is completed, the tapered block 602 will be supported at the reserved slot 103 at the bottom end of the shell 101 due to the weight. Thus, the conductor assembly 700 on the top of the concave rod 601 and the flow guide plate 205 are connected.

[0032] Further, as Figure 11 In the anti-pulling assembly 800, the opening ring 801 is fixed on the inner wall of the concave rod 601, and the tapered ring 802 is fixed on the top of the opening ring 801. The opening ring 801 and the tapered ring 802 are made of rubber, which has good friction when in contact with the outer wall of the wire. The tapered ring 802 also has an opening, which is consistent with the opening of the opening ring 801. In use, the anti-pulling assembly 800 is located inside the concave rod 601, so when the wire is placed in the concave rod 601, the wire can be installed into the opening ring 801 and the tapered ring 802. When the wire is pulled, the tapered ring 802 on the top of the opening ring 801 is in contact with the wire and is subjected to friction. Therefore, when the wire in the opening ring 801 is pulled downward, the opening ring 801 and the tapered ring 802 will be deformed, and in this process, the tapered ring 802 will press the wire, thereby increasing the friction of the opening ring 801 and the tapered ring 802 on the wire.

[0033] In use, when the electric wire and the electric meter need to be connected, the wire head is roughly cut, then the electric wire is installed in the anti-pulling assembly 800 in the recessed rod 601, at this time the wire head can enter the two guide plates 703 through the slot 702, at this time the wire head above the top of the guide plate 703 can be cut, that is, the auxiliary wiring function can be achieved, and the uniform length of the wire head can make the conduction more stable, because the depth of the through slot 202 can accommodate multiple connection assemblies 600, and the length of the flow guide plate 205 can accommodate multiple conductor assemblies 700, so when multiple electric wires are installed in a single port, several electric wires can be installed according to this step, at the same time, the tapered blocks 602 on both sides of the recessed rod 601 can be clamped into the reserved slots 103, when the hand is released, the bottom of the tapered blocks 602 can be supported on the reserved slots 103 at the bottom of the shell 101, so that the recessed rod 601 will not fall down, and the height of the recessed rod 601 can be positioned, that is, the installation height of the wire head can be consistent, and the contact surface of the wire head can be close, which can improve the stability during use, after the electric wires to be installed are placed, the hollow rod 404, the bolt 402, the insulating plate 304 and the spring 303 are driven by pressing the screw rod 401, the spring 303 drives the pressing plate 302 and the movable shell 301 to move, wherein when the pressing plate 302 touches the guide plate 703, the insulating plate 304 moves to press the spring 303 to generate pressure on the pressing plate 302, so that the pressing plate 302 presses the guide plate 703, at this time the two guide plates 703 on the top of the top block 701 are pressed by the pressing plate 302 and the flow guide plate 205, and the two guide plates 703 press the wire head, so that the wire head can be connected to the electric meter device 104 through the flow guide plate 205, at this time the clamping groove 405 of the hollow rod 404 moves to the bottom of the clamping plate 503, the clamping plate 503 is rotated and clamped into the clamping groove 405 by the elastic band 504, which limits the hollow rod 404 and its subsequent structure, if the size of the wire head is different, the screw rod 401 can be twisted to drive the bolt 402 to move, so that the bolt 402 can drive the insulating plate 304 to press the spring 303 again, so that the pressing force of the spring 303 on the pressing plate 302 is increased or decreased, so that multiple types of electric wires and electric meters can be installed.

[0034] In summary, through the cooperation of the containing assembly 200, the pressing assembly 300, the connection assembly 600 and the conductor assembly 700 and its subsequent structure, the electric meter can be quickly and conveniently connected, and multiple electric wires can be connected in a single connection port, and multiple different thickness electric wires can be quickly installed, and the quality of the installation is guaranteed.

[0035] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not limit the present application. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or equivalently replaced, without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, which should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
