DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 9The moisture-proof meter box for a smart meter includes a meter box body 100, wherein a housing 110 is disposed inside the meter box body 100, a line protection mechanism 200 is disposed inside the housing 110, and the line protection mechanism 200 includes a first fuse holder 220, a second fuse holder 230 and a fuse 240; A plurality of fuses 240 are provided, one of which is installed between the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 as a main fuse, and the remaining fuses 240 are used as backup fuses; A replacement mechanism 300 is also provided in the housing 110. The replacement mechanism 300 includes a turntable 320. A plurality of bearing assemblies 330 are mounted on the turntable 320 in the form of an equidistant circular array. A plurality of fuses 240 are mounted on the plurality of bearing assemblies 330 respectively. The replacement mechanism 300 further includes a trigger assembly 350 . When the main fuse 240 is blown, the trigger assembly 350 drives the turntable 320 to rotate to replace the main fuse 240 with a spare fuse 240 .

[0035] The line protection mechanism 200 includes two first slide grooves 210 symmetrically opened in the housing 110, and the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 are slidably connected in the two first slide grooves 210 respectively; The first fuse holder 220 is provided with a first negative wire 250 and a slot 280, and the second fuse holder 230 is provided with a first positive wire 260 and an insert block 290, and the slot 280 is adapted to the insert block 290; The replacement mechanism 300 further includes a motor 310 and a power supply assembly 340 . The motor 310 is disposed in the housing 110 , and the output shaft of the motor 310 is connected to the rotating disk 320 . The trigger assembly 350 is used to operate the trigger power supply assembly 340 to supply power to the motor 310 , thereby driving the turntable 320 to rotate through the motor 310 .

[0036] In this embodiment: the housing 110 is made of insulating material, and the line protection mechanism 200 installed inside the housing 110 is used to protect various electrical components including the electric meter installed in the electric meter box body 100. The first negative wire 250 is connected to the negative end of the external circuit of the electric meter box body 100, and the first positive wire 260 is connected to the positive end of the external circuit of the electric meter box body 100. In the main power supply line of the internal circuit of the electric meter box body 100, the current flows out after passing through the first negative wire 250, the first fuse holder 220, the fuse 240, the second fuse holder 230, the first positive wire 260 and the various electrical components in the electric meter box body 100.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the first fuse holder 220, the fuse 240 and the second fuse holder 230 are arranged from left to right in sequence, and a plurality of fuses 240 are provided, wherein the one located at the uppermost side is used as the main one, and the rest are used as backup ones. When the main fuse 240 is blown due to a line fault such as a short circuit, the internal line of the meter box body 100 is disconnected, and at this time, the blowing of the fuse 240 will intelligently cause the trigger component 350 to operate.

[0038] The trigger assembly 350 triggers the installation assembly 270 to move the first fuse holder 220 with the blown left half fuse 240 to the left, and the second fuse holder 230 with the blown right half fuse 240 to the right. Then the trigger assembly 350 triggers the power supply assembly 340 to operate, connecting the external circuit of the meter box body 100 with the motor 310. At this time, the motor 310 is powered on and drives the turntable 320 to rotate clockwise.

[0039] The turntable 320 rotates clockwise so that the upper side of the bearing assembly 330 with the fused components installed thereon moves clockwise in a circular motion. Figure 4 As shown in , the disconnected left half fuse 240 can be pulled out from the right side of the first fuse holder 220 , and the disconnected right half fuse 240 can be pulled out from the gap left between the second fuse holder 230 and the right end of the fuse 240 .

[0040] Then the first bearing assembly 330 located in the counterclockwise direction moves clockwise with a spare fuse 240 to the upper position, at which time the spare fuse 240 is between the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230, the motor 310 is intelligently powered off again, and the turntable 320 stops rotating. Then the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 are reset, the fuse 240 is fixed in the middle, and the internal circuit of the meter box body 100 is reconnected.

[0041] When the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 are connected, the insert block 290 is inserted into the slot 280 to reinforce the fuse 240 and protect the fuse 240 to a certain extent.

[0042] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. For details, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 10 The line protection mechanism 200 further includes an installation assembly 270, the installation assembly 270 includes a fixing seat 271 disposed in the housing 110, a second slide groove 272 is provided on the fixing seat 271, a slider 273 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 272, and the slider 273 is elastically connected to the fixing seat 271 through a first spring 274; A connecting shaft 275 is provided on the slider 273, and a first connecting seat 276 is provided on the first fuse seat 220 and the second fuse seat 230. The mounting assembly 270 also includes two first connecting rods 277, one end of the two first connecting rods 277 are rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 275, and the other ends of the two first connecting rods 277 are rotatably connected to the two first connecting seats 276 respectively.

[0043] The bearing assembly 330 includes a mounting seat 331 disposed on the rotating disk 320, and two third sliding grooves 332 are symmetrically provided on the mounting seat 331. The two third sliding grooves 332 are both slidably provided with mounting plates 333. The fuse 240 is mounted on the two mounting plates 333. The two mounting plates 333 are elastically connected to the mounting seat 331 through two second springs 334 respectively. When the main fuse 240 is blown, the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 are pulled away from each other by the elastic force of the two second springs 334 , so that the slider 273 rises.

[0044] In this embodiment: in a group of bearing components 330 and fuses 240 located on the upper side, when the fuses 240 are not blown, the fuses 240 are mounted on two mounting plates 333 , and the two second springs 334 are maintained in a stretched state by the fuses 240 .

[0045] When the fuse 240 is blown, the two mounting plates 333 lose their supporting force. Under the rebound effect of the two second springs 334, the left mounting plate 333 drives the left half of the fuse 240 and the first fuse holder 220 to move leftward, and the right mounting plate 333 drives the right half of the fuse 240 and the second fuse holder 230 to move rightward. When the two fuses 240 are separated from the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 as the rotating disk 320 rotates, the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 remain in an open state to wait for the next fuse 240 to arrive.

[0046] Furthermore, the leftward movement of the first fuse holder 220 and the rightward movement of the second fuse holder 230 will cause the connecting shaft 275 and the sliding block 273 to move upward through the transmission effect of the two first connecting seats 276 and the two first connecting rods 277 .

[0047] Embodiment 3: This embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of Embodiment 2. For details, please refer to Figure 3-Figure 10The power supply component 340 includes a second negative electrode wire 341 arranged on the motor 310, an insulating plate 342 is slidably arranged in the shell 110, the insulating plate 342 is elastically connected to the shell 110 through a third spring 343, a first power connection post 344 is arranged on the insulating plate 342, a second positive electrode wire 345 is arranged on the first power connection post 344, and a second power connection post 346 is arranged on the motor 310.

[0048] The trigger assembly 350 includes a fourth slide groove 351 opened on the mounting seat 331, a first trapezoidal block 352 is arranged on the slider 273, the first trapezoidal block 352 is slidably connected in the fourth slide groove 351, a fifth slide groove 353 is also opened on the mounting seat 331, a second trapezoidal block 354 is slidably arranged in the fifth slide groove 353, and the first trapezoidal block 352 is matched with the second trapezoidal block 354.

[0049] The insulating plate 342 and the second trapezoidal block 354 are both provided with a second connection seat 355. A rotating rod 356 is rotatably provided in the housing 110. A second connection rod 357 is provided on the rotating rod 356. Both ends of the second connection rod 357 are rotatably connected to the two second connection seats 355 respectively. When the main fuse 240 is blown, the slider 273 and the first trapezoidal block 352 rise to drive the second trapezoidal block 354 to move backward, so that the first power connection post 344 and the second power connection post 346 are connected to each other and the motor 310 is energized.

[0050] The replacement mechanism 300 further includes a support assembly 360, which includes a first arc groove 361 and a second arc groove 363 provided on the mounting seat 331, the first arc groove 361 is connected to the fourth slide groove 351, the second arc groove 363 is connected to the fifth slide groove 353, and the mounting seat 331 is provided with a first arc plate 362 and a second arc plate 364; When the rotating disk 320 rotates, the first arc plate 362 and the second arc plate 364 are used to hold the first trapezoidal block 352 and the second trapezoidal block 354 respectively, so as to keep the motor 310 powered.

[0051] In this embodiment: Figure 6As shown, when the fuse 240 located on the upper side maintains a normal working state and is not blown, the first trapezoidal block 352 installed on the slider 273 is located at the lower side of the fourth slide slot 351, and the second trapezoidal block 354 is located at the front side of the fifth slide slot 353. At this time, the position of the second trapezoidal block 354 is fixed, and the first power post 344 is located behind the second power post 346 through the transmission of the second connecting rod 357. The first power post 344 does not contact the second power post 346, and the motor 310 is not powered at this time. As shown in the figure, the second connecting rod 357 is a telescopic rod, which consists of three sections. The middle section is installed on the rotating rod 356, and the two sections at both ends are rotatably installed on the two second connecting seats 355 respectively. The two sections at both ends are slidably installed on the middle section.

[0052] When the main fuse 240 is blown and the slider 273 drives the first trapezoidal block 352 to rise, the first trapezoidal block 352 slides upward along the fourth slide groove 351. Since the inclined surfaces of the first trapezoidal block 352 and the second trapezoidal block 354 fit, the second trapezoidal block 354 will be pushed backward by the first trapezoidal block 352. The second trapezoidal block 354 slides backward along the fifth slide groove 353, and the transmission of the second connecting seat 355, the second connecting rod 357, and the rotating rod 356 will cause the insulating plate 342 to move forward with the first connecting post 344. The first connecting post 344 is connected to the second connecting post 346. At this time, the current flows out from the negative pole of the external circuit through the second negative pole wire 341, the negative pole interface of the motor 310, the positive pole interface of the motor 310, the second connecting post 346, the first connecting post 344, and the second positive pole wire 345, so that the motor 310 is powered on and running.

[0053] After the motor 310 starts to drive the turntable 320 to rotate clockwise, the mounting seat 331 on the upper side rotates clockwise, so that the first trapezoidal block 352 slides from the upper side of the fourth slide groove 351 to the first arc groove 361, and the lower end of the first trapezoidal block 352 is supported by the first arc plate 362, so that the position of the first trapezoidal block 352 remains unchanged. Then the slider 273 is located at the upper side of the second slide groove 272, and the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 remain in the open state.

[0054] The second trapezoidal block 354 also slides from the fifth slide groove 353 to the second arc groove 363 as the mounting base 331 rotates clockwise, and the lower end of the second trapezoidal block 354 is supported by the second arc plate 364, so that the position of the second trapezoidal block 354 is incorrect. Then the insulating plate 342 and the first power terminal 344 remain at the front position, and the motor 310 remains powered.

[0055] Until the turntable 320 rotates to make the next supporting assembly 330 and the fuse 240 rotate to the upper position, the lower end of the first trapezoidal block 352 loses the support of the previous first arc plate 362, and the first trapezoidal block 352 is now located in the next fourth slide groove 351, then the slider 273 and the first trapezoidal block 352 will move downward under the rebound force of the first spring 274, so that the first fuse holder 220 and the second fuse holder 230 move closer to each other and dock with the new fuse 240.

[0056] At the same time, the lower end of the second trapezoidal block 354 loses the support of the second arc-shaped plate 364, and the second trapezoidal block 354 is now located in the next fifth slide slot 353, and the second trapezoidal block 354 moves forward and resets under the rebound force of the third spring 343, and the insulating plate 342 and the first power connection post 344 move backward and reset, so that the motor 310 is powered off, and the turntable 320 no longer rotates. The replacement of the fuse 240 is completed.

[0057] Embodiment 4: This embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of Embodiment 1. For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 A ventilation hole 120 is provided on the meter box body 100 , and an exhaust fan 130 is installed in the meter box body 100 .

[0058] In this embodiment: a vent 120 is opened on the meter box body 100, and an exhaust fan 130 is installed to keep the inside of the meter box body 100 ventilated. The heat generated by the electrical components can be used to make the space inside the box moisture-proof, which can prevent the metal parts in the box from rusting and prevent leakage current from occurring.
