[0042] In the prior art, the use of piercing splitters is only suitable for use in some low-load situations. Although the piercing splitters can basically not damage the insulation layer of the wire, the wire insulation layer has a relatively thin wire diameter and is not suitable for use in situations with high current and high load.

[0043] Example

[0044] An operation and maintenance system for replacing electric meters without power outage, such as Figure 1-9 As shown:

[0045] The non-stop power meter replacement device 200 comprises a connection terminal 300 and a connection plug 400; the free ends of the incoming cable and the outgoing cable of the non-stop power meter replacement device 200 are both provided with a connection plug 400.

[0046] The connection terminal 300 is installed upstream of the switch 101 of the incoming cable of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced; the connection terminal 300 is installed downstream of the switch 101 of the outgoing cable of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced.

[0047] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the terminal block 300 includes a first jacket 1, a second jacket 2 and a third jacket 3;

[0048] The first jacket 1 includes two first half jackets 11, the inner cavity of the first half jacket 11 is adapted to the outer contour of the incoming cable and the outgoing cable, and the inner wall of the first half jacket 11 is provided with a rubber sealing layer; one of the first half jackets 11 is provided with a card slot, and the other first half jacket 11 is provided with a card hook; the left end outer wall of the first half jacket 11 is provided with a rotatable limiting ring groove 12;

[0049] The third jacket 3 includes two third half jackets 31, the inner cavity of the third half jacket 31 is adapted to the outer contour of the incoming cable and the outgoing cable, and the inner wall of the third half jacket 31 is provided with a rubber sealing layer; one of the third half jackets 31 is provided with a slot, and the other third half jacket 31 is provided with a hook; the right end of the third half jacket 31 is provided with an external thread 32;

[0050] The second jacket 2 includes two second half jackets 21, the inner cavity of the second half jacket 21 is adapted to the outer contours of the first half jacket 11 and the third half jacket 31; one of the second half jackets 21 is provided with a slot, and the other second half jacket 21 is provided with a hook; the left end of the second half jacket 21 is provided with an internal thread 22, and the inner side wall of the right end is provided with a limiting ring block 24 adapted to the limiting ring groove 12, and a cutter 23 is provided between the internal thread 22 and the limiting ring block 24; Figure 8 As shown, the height of the cutter 23 is not uniform, and the height of the cutter 23 gradually increases from the inner wall of the second half jacket 21. The maximum height of the cutter 23 is adapted to the insulating outer layer of the inlet / outlet cable of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced. A liquid injection port 26 with a smaller diameter is provided on the second half jacket 21.

[0051] The electrical connection assembly 25 includes a key slot 251 formed on the outer wall of one of the second half jackets 21, and the outer contour of the wiring plug 400 is adapted to the key slot 251; the inner wall of the second half jacket 21 is connected to a conductive block 28 through a conductive elastic member 27, and the conductive block 28 is adapted to the battery core of the incoming / outgoing cable;

[0052] The electrical connection assembly 25 further includes a plurality of pins 252 arranged in a line, a return spring 255 and a carbon brush 254. The plurality of pins 252 are linearly slidably matched in the second half jacket 21. One end of the pins 252 is driven by the respective return springs 255 to extend into the key slot 251 and are arranged irregularly. The top pin 252 is made of conductive material, and the other pins 252 are made of insulating material. The insulating pins 252 are provided with conductive parts 253.

[0053] The carbon brush 254 is relatively fixedly arranged in the second half jacket 21 , one carbon brush 254 is arranged between two adjacent balls 252 , and the lowest carbon brush 254 is electrically connected to the conductive elastic member 27 through an electric wire.

[0054] Working principle:

[0055] The two first half jackets 11 are butt-jointedly mounted on the outer walls of the incoming and outgoing cables of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced, and the two first half jackets 11 are fixedly connected to form a first jacket 1 in a complete circular shape through one-way snap-fitting of a card slot and a card hook; the first half jacket 11 improves the friction force of the first jacket 1 fixed on the outer walls of the incoming / outgoing cables through a sealing layer.

[0056] The two third half jackets 31 are butt-jointedly arranged on the outer side walls of the incoming cable and the outgoing cable of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced, and the two third half jackets 31 are fixedly connected to form a complete circular third jacket 3 through the one-way snap-fit ​​of the card slot and the card hook; the third half jacket 31 improves the friction force of the third jacket 3 fixed on the outer side walls of the incoming / outgoing cables through the sealing layer.

[0057] The two second half jackets 21 are butt-jointed and sleeved on the outer side walls of the first jacket 1 and the third jacket 3. The two second half jackets 21 are fixedly connected to form a second jacket 2 in a complete circular shape through the one-way clamping of the clamping groove and the clamping hook; at this time, the internal thread at the left end of the second jacket 2 is threadedly connected with the external thread 32 of the third jacket 3, and the limiting ring block 24 at the right end of the second jacket 2 is sleeved in the limiting ring groove 12 of the first jacket 1. In this process, one end of the cutter 23 is fully inserted into the insulating layer to reduce the difficulty of butt-jointing the two second half jackets 21.

[0058] At this time, the first jacket 1, the second jacket 2 and the third jacket 3 are coaxially arranged. A spacing is left between the first jacket 1 and the third jacket 3 and they are fixedly arranged relative to the cable.

[0059] Then, the second jacket 2 is rotated, and the second jacket 2 is rotated relative to the first jacket 1 through the cooperation of the limiting ring block 24 and the limiting ring groove 12. In this process, the cutter 23 with variable height cuts the insulation layer of the incoming cable and the outgoing cable of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced to form a complete opening, and the battery core is exposed to the outside through this opening. In this process, the second jacket 2 and the third jacket 3 are relatively spirally rotated, so that the third jacket 3 is relatively far away from the first jacket 1, so that the opening width of the insulation layer becomes larger, until the conductive block 28 is aligned with the battery core of the incoming / outgoing cable, and the conductive elastic member 27 pushes the conductive block 28 to fit the outer wall of the battery core to achieve electrical connection.

[0060] The wiring plug 400 is inserted into the key slot 251, and a number of pins 252 arranged in a line move under the action of the irregular edge of the wiring plug 400, so that the conductive part 253 of the insulating material pin 252 abuts against the carbon brushes 254 on the upper and lower sides to achieve electrical connection, so that the wiring plug 400 is electrically connected to the battery cell through the conductive material pin 252, the carbon brushes 254 that alternate in sequence, and the conductive part 253 of the insulating material pin 252, and finally through the carbon brushes 254, the conductive elastic member 27, and the conductive block 28.

[0061] Thereby, the input / output cables of the electric energy meter 100 to be replaced are electrically connected to the non-stop meter replacement device 200, and then the switch 101 is disconnected to facilitate replacement of the new electric energy meter.

[0062] Through this operation and maintenance system, continuous measurement of the energy meter to be replaced and the new energy meter can be facilitated, so as to achieve the purpose of safely replacing the energy meter without power outage and power loss.

[0063] After the connection plug 400 is pulled out of the key slot 251, the pin 252 is pushed to move and reset under the action of the reset spring 255, so that the conductive part 253 of the pin 252 made of insulating material is separated from the carbon brush 254, so that the electrical connection assembly 25 is in a disconnected state.

[0064] The non-staff member does not have a correspondingly shaped terminal 400 inserted into the key slot 251. Normally, the electrical connection assembly 25 is in a disconnected state.

[0065] Then, insulating resin is injected into the second jacket 2 through the injection port 26, so that the first jacket 1, the second jacket 2, and the third jacket 3 are fixedly connected together and fixed to the cable.

[0066] The above design can be electrically connected to the cells of the incoming / outgoing cables multiple times when needed.

[0067] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
