Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric meter collectors, in particular to a signal enhancement collector. Background Art

[0002] The abbreviation of electric energy meter is an instrument used to measure electric energy. The data of traditional electric energy meters are usually read and recorded by manual visual inspection, but each electrician who reads the meter needs to check and record the electricity consumption of many households, which is prone to data reading and recording errors, slow speed, and low work efficiency. Therefore, an electric meter data collector is needed, and the collector is an intelligent product controlled by a microprocessor. It is one of the primary devices of the centralized meter reading system software. The intelligent meter collector is used in the low-voltage power centralized meter reading system. Its job is to complete the conversion of data signals and realize the centralized meter reading of RS485 meters by cooperating with the meter remote meter reading system.

[0003] In the prior art, due to the small size of the smart meter collector, the wiring process is not easy to operate, and it is easy to have loose connections at the wire ends after wiring, which makes the transmission of electrical signals unstable, and has a great impact on the collected data of the meter, resulting in inaccurate data collected by the smart meter collector. The collector is mostly fixed in the meter box where the meter is located by screws, so the meter collector is connected to the meter by wires, and the meter collector cannot be moved at will. At the same time, the meter box is generally filled with connections between various electrical equipment and the meter, and the connecting wires are densely packed. In a narrow space with unclear vision, it is difficult to repair the meter collector.

[0004] To this end, we have developed a new signal enhancement collector. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a signal enhancement collector, which solves the problems in the prior art that the smart meter collector is small in size, the wiring process is not easy to operate, and the phenomenon of loose connection of wire ends after wiring is easy to occur, resulting in unstable electrical signal transmission, which will have a great impact on the collected data of the meter, resulting in inaccurate data collected by the smart meter collector from time to time. The collector is mostly fixed in the meter box where the meter is located by screws, so the meter collector is connected to the meter by wires, and the meter collector cannot be moved at will. At the same time, the meter box is generally filled with connections between various electrical equipment and the meter, and the connecting wires are densely packed. In a narrow space with unclear vision, it is difficult to repair the meter collector.

[0006] (II) Technical solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a signal enhancement collector, comprising a mounting frame and a collector body, wherein one side of the outer surface of the mounting frame is symmetrically provided with mounting cavities, the inner wall bottoms of two mounting cavities are hingedly installed with electric push rods, the output ends of the two electric push rods are hingedly connected with a connecting rod, one side of the outer surface of the connecting rod is fixedly connected with a support plate, and one side of the outer surface of the support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the back side of the collector body; A mounting box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collector body, and a plurality of clamping mechanisms are installed inside the mounting box. A slide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of each of the clamping mechanisms. One end of each group of slide plates at the same horizontal height extends through the outside of the mounting box and is fixedly connected to a movable plate. A plurality of slots are opened on one side of the outer surface of the movable plate close to the collector body, and a plurality of limit components are installed inside the slots.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged sleeves, each of the two sleeves is slidably connected with a sliding rod, and each group of corresponding sleeves and sliding rods are fixedly connected to a connecting plate at one end away from each other, and the opposite sides of the two connecting plates in each group are commonly fixedly connected with a spring, and one side of the outer surface of the connecting plate corresponding to each group of sliding rods is fixedly connected with a mounting seat, and the inner side of the mounting seat is rotatably connected with a roller.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further comprises a U-shaped mounting plate fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate, and two side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the connecting plate corresponding to each group of sleeves.

[0010] Preferably, a transparent box cover is hinged on the front of the collector body, and a plurality of connection terminals are fixedly installed on the bottom of the front of the collector body.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the connecting wire passes through the two rollers on the inner side of the clamping mechanism and finally passes through the installation box. It is obvious that when the two groups of multiple clamping mechanisms at different horizontal heights are displaced to the left and right respectively, the clamped connecting wires will be stored more inside the installation box, thereby reducing the length of the connecting wire extending from the outside of the installation box, making the connecting wire appear shorter in the meter box, and avoiding the connecting wires of various electrical equipment from being entangled together, resulting in a messy wiring in the meter box and hindering the staff's field of vision.

[0012] Preferably, a cover plate is hinged on the front of the installation box, and the side walls on the back of the installation box are respectively provided with sliding grooves matching the two sets of slide plates, and the bottom of the inner wall of the installation box is provided with a yield groove matching the connecting line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] 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.

[0020] Examples, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal enhancement collector, including a mounting frame 1 and a collector body 2, a mounting cavity 3 is symmetrically opened on one side of the outer surface of the mounting frame 1, and electric push rods 4 are hingedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the two mounting cavities 3 (the damping shaft is hinged, so that the placement angle of the electric push rods 4 relative to the mounting cavity 3 can be arbitrarily changed), and the output ends of the two electric push rods 4 are hingedly connected to a connecting rod 5, and a support plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the connecting rod 5, and one side of the outer surface of the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the back side of the collector body 2; The extension and retraction of the output end of the electric push rod 4 can drive the support plate 6 so that the position of the collector body 2 is further extended outward from the inside of the meter box, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the collector body 2 by the staff; In the present application, during the design process of the collector body 2, anti-interference technologies such as shielding, filtering and grounding are adopted to reduce the impact of the external environment on the collector. At the same time, optimized communication interfaces such as RS-485 interfaces are adopted to ensure the stability and reliability of data during transmission. Furthermore, by improving the performance of A / D converters and microprocessors, the accuracy and speed of signal processing are improved to ensure data accuracy, so that the collector body 2 can effectively enhance the stability of the signal and the reliability of transmission, ensure the accuracy and timeliness of power data, and achieve the signal enhancement effect of the collector body 2 compared to traditional collectors.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a mounting box 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collector body 2, and a plurality of clamping mechanisms are installed inside the mounting box 9. A slide plate 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of each of the plurality of clamping mechanisms. One end of each group of slide plates 21 at the same horizontal height extends through to the outside of the mounting box 9 and is fixedly connected to a movable plate 22. The side walls on the back of the mounting box 9 are respectively provided with slide grooves 12 matching the two groups of slide plates 21, that is, the displacement of the clamping mechanism is driven by sliding between the slide plates 21 and the slide grooves 12, and a plurality of notches 23 are provided on one side of the outer surface of the movable plate 22 close to the collector body 2, and a plurality of limit components are installed inside the notches 23.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged sleeves 16, the interiors of the two sleeves 16 are penetrated by a sliding rod 17 which is slidably connected, and the ends of each set of corresponding sleeves 16 and sliding rods 17 which are away from each other are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 15, and the opposite sides of the two connecting plates 15 of each set are commonly fixedly connected to a spring 18, that is, the spring 18 is sleeved on the outside of each set of sleeves 16 and sliding rods 17, and one side of the outer surface of the connecting plate 15 corresponding to each set of sliding rods 17 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 19, and the inner side of the mounting seat 19 is rotatably connected to a roller 20; The sleeve 16, the slide bar 17 and the spring 18 form a telescopic structure. When the connecting plate 15 at one end of the slide bar 17 is pushed by an external force, the spring 18 can be compressed and the slide bar 17 can be compressed into the sleeve 16, thereby shortening the length of the overall structure formed by the sleeve 16 and the slide bar 17 and making an adaptive change. The clamping mechanism also includes a U-shaped mounting plate 14 fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate 21, and the two side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate 14 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the connecting plate 15 corresponding to each group of sleeves 16. The rollers 20 corresponding to the two side walls of the U-shaped mounting plate 14 can be respectively located on both sides of the connecting line 11, and the rollers 20 themselves are rotatably connected to the mounting seat 19, so that when they are in contact with the connecting line 11, when the connecting line 11 moves, the rollers 20 can rotate to reduce the resistance to the movement of the connecting line 11.

[0023] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limit assembly includes a rotating rod 24 rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the slot 23, and a limit plate 25 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 24. The outer surface of the limit plate 25 close to the bottom of the inner wall of the slot 23 is fixedly connected to an anti-skid pad 27, and the outer surface of the limit plate 25 away from the bottom of the inner wall of the slot 23 is fixedly connected to a pull plate 26, and the pull plate 26 is arranged perpendicular to the limit plate 25, wherein the inner side of the pull plate 26 is fixedly connected to an anti-skid pattern; When the movable plate 22 moves to a suitable position, you can press your fingers on the anti-slip grooves of the pull plate 26 to rotate the limit plate 25 with the help of the friction between the pull plate 26, so that the limit plate 25 is perpendicular to the slot 23. At this time, the side of the limit plate 25 with the anti-slip pad 27 will press against the outer surface of the installation box 9, thereby locking the movable plate 22 at this time, and then locking the position of the clamping mechanism connected to the movable plate 22 relative to the installation box 9, so as to fix the length of the connecting line 11 extending out of the installation box 9.

[0024] The length of the limiting plate 25 is smaller than the length of the slot 23 , and the length of the pulling plate 26 is smaller than the height of the slot 23 , so that the limiting plate 25 and the pulling plate 26 can be appropriately accommodated inside the slot 23 .

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a transparent box cover 8 is hinged on the front of the collector body 2, and a plurality of connection terminals 7 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the front of the collector body 2. A connection line 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of each of the plurality of connection terminals 7. One end of each of the plurality of connection lines 11 passes through the installation box 9 and is wound around the inner side of the corresponding clamping mechanism, that is, the connection line 11 passes through the two rollers 20 on the inner side of the clamping mechanism and finally passes out of the installation box 9. It is obvious that when the two groups of multiple clamping mechanisms at different levels are displaced to the left and right respectively, the clamped connection lines 11 will be stored more inside the installation box 9, thereby reducing the length of the connection lines 11 extending from the outside of the installation box 9, so that the connection lines 11 appear shorter in the meter box, avoiding the connection lines of various electrical equipment from being entangled together, thereby causing the wiring in the meter box to be more messy and hindering the staff's field of vision.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a cover plate 10 is hinged on the front of the installation box 9, and a clearance groove 13 matching with the connecting wire 11 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the installation box 9, that is, the existence of the clearance groove 13 facilitates the connecting wire 11 to pass through the installation box 9 outward.

[0027] Working principle: First, open the meter box and install the mounting bracket 1 at a suitable position inside the meter box. In this application, the collector body 2 adopts anti-interference technology and various hardware improvements during the design process to achieve the signal enhancement effect of the collector body 2 compared with the traditional collector, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the power data; Among them, when the collector body 2 is installed and the connecting line 11 needs to be connected to the electric meter, first move the movable plate 22 to the appropriate position, and then press the finger on the anti-skid pattern of the pull plate 26, so as to rotate the limit plate 25 with the help of the friction between the pull plate 26, so that the limit plate 25 is perpendicular to the notch 23. At this time, the side of the limit plate 25 with the anti-skid pad 27 will press against the outer surface of the installation box 9, thereby locking the movable plate 22 at this time, and then locking the position of the clamping mechanism connected to the movable plate 22 relative to the installation box 9, so as to achieve the fixation of the length of the connecting line 11 extending out of the installation box 9, thereby ensuring that the connecting line 11 is just connected to the electric meter and will not leave a lot of length in the electric meter box, thereby occupying a large space in the electric meter box, avoiding various wiring lengths that are long and entangled in the electric meter box, and at the same time densely blocking the field of vision, and the installation box 9 also reserves enough length to meet the maximum distance when the electric push rod 4 pushes the collector body 2 to move, so as to avoid loosening of both ends of the connecting line 11; When the collector body 2 needs to be inspected and repaired, it is only necessary to open the meter box and drive the electric push rod 4 to extend its output end. At the same time, the staff holds the side of the collector body 2 to drive the collector body 2 to move out of the meter box to a specific position (because the connecting rod 5 connected to the collector body 2 and the output end of the electric push rod 4 are hinged, and the electric push rod 4 and the installation cavity 3 are also hinged, so that no motion interference will occur), so that the collector body can be in a more ideal inspection position, with a larger operating space and a clear field of vision, which is convenient for the staff to perform inspection and repair operations, thereby improving the work quality and inspection efficiency.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
