[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] Figure 1-Figure 7 The present invention shows a quick disassembly and assembly electric meter box, which includes a base 1, a bottom plate 2 and a cover 3. The bottom plate 2 is arranged between the cover 3 and the base 1. After the base 1, the bottom plate 2 and the cover 3 are assembled, an electric meter 5 accommodating area and two switch accommodating areas are formed, which can accommodate the electric meter 5, the first switch 6 and the second switch 7. A lock seat 11 is provided on the base 1, and a second lock hole 31 and a first lock hole 21 are respectively provided on the cover 3 and the bottom plate 2, through which a lock core 13 in the lock seat 11 can pass, so that the base 1, the bottom plate 2 and the cover 3 are connected and fixed.

[0038] A lock channel 12 is provided in the lock seat 11, and the lock channel 12 includes a sliding section 121 and a curved section 122. A lock core 13 is provided in the lock channel 12, and the lock core 13 is specifically arranged in the sliding end. One end of the lock core 13 is provided with a flexible member 14 connected thereto, and the flexible member 14 is arranged in the curved section 122. The bottom plate 2 is provided with a first support plate, and a first lock hole 21 is provided in the first support plate, which passes through the left and right sides. A second support plate is provided at the lower end of the surface cover 3, and a second lock hole 31 is provided in the second support plate, and a plug hole 15 is provided at the upper end of the surface cover 3. The corresponding lock seat 11 is configured with an installation plug-in 4, and the installation plug-in 4 is rod-shaped. When the electric meter box 5 is installed, the base 1, the bottom plate 2 and the cover 3 are simply positioned and assembled first, and then the installation plug-in 4 is passed through the socket 15 on the cover 3, and vertically inserted into the front end of the curved end of the lock channel 12. The installation plug-in 4 presses the flexible member 14, so that the flexible member 14 moves together with the lock core 13, and the lock core 13 passes through the second lock hole 31 and the first lock hole 21. The bottom plate 2 and the cover 3 are snapped on the base 1, and the electric meter box 5 is connected and fixed as a whole.

[0039] A damping member 41 is provided at the lower end of the installation plug-in 4, and the damping member 41 protrudes downward relative to the installation plug-in 4, and a trigger groove 141 is correspondingly provided at the end of the flexible member 14 away from the lock core 13, and the damping member 41 can be inserted into the trigger groove 141. When the installation plug-in 4 is pulled out upward, since the damping member 41 fits tightly with the trigger groove 141, the flexible member 14 and the lock core 13 will be pulled. At this time, the lock core 13 gradually disengages from the second lock hole 31 and the first lock hole 21, and finally the lock core 13 is reset. When the installation plug-in 4 continues to be pulled out, since the lock core 13 is made of hard metal, it cannot slide in the curved section 122. At this time, the lock core 13 and the flexible member 14 are fixed. The user applies force to overcome the friction between the damping member 41 and the trigger groove 141, and the installation plug-in 4 can be pulled out, and the bottom plate 2 and the cover 3 can be separated from the base 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the flexible member 14 is composed of a plurality of metal blocks connected in series, the side end surface of which cooperates with the curved section 122 , and the trigger groove 141 is disposed on a metal block away from the lock core 13 .

[0041] A magnet sheet 142 is provided at one end of the flexible member 14 away from the lock core 13. The installation plug-in 4 is made of metal and can be attracted by the magnet sheet 142 to strengthen the connection between the installation plug-in 4 and the flexible member 14, ensuring that the installation plug-in 4 can be pulled out to smoothly drive the flexible member 14 and the lock core 13 to move.

[0042] The second support plate is provided with an installation hole 33 which passes through from top to bottom, and the installation plug-in 4 cooperates with the installation hole 33. During installation, the installation plug-in 4 first passes through the installation hole 33 and then cooperates with the flexible member 14. The installation plug-in 4 is pre-positioned to ensure that it can be accurately inserted into the head end of the curved section 122.

[0043] A locking hole 123 is provided on the side of the lock channel 12, and an elastic member 131 is provided on the side of the lock core 13. The elastic member 131 cooperates with the locking hole 123. The elastic member 131 is initially attached to the surface of the lock core 13. When the elastic member 131 moves to the locking hole 123, the elastic member 131 pops out and extends out of the locking hole 123. At this time, the installation plug-in 4 is directly pulled, and the elastic member 131 will be stuck in the locking hole 123, and the lock core 13 cannot move. It is necessary to press the elastic member 131 to make it completely enter the lock channel 12, and then pull the installation plug-in 4 so that the lock core 13 can move and disengage from the first lock hole 21 and the second lock hole 31.

[0044] The base 1, the bottom plate 2 and the surface cover 3 need to be simply positioned before installation, and for this purpose, structural features for positioning are set on the three. Specifically, a hook edge 16 is provided on the side of the base 1, and a convex strip 32 is provided at the lower end of the surface cover 3. The hook edge 16 and the convex strip 32 cooperate with each other for positioning the surface cover 3 and the base 1. A notch 22 is provided at the edge of the bottom plate 2, and a positioning column 17 is provided on the base 1. The notch 22 and the positioning column 17 cooperate with each other for positioning the bottom plate 2 and the base 1.

[0045] A heat dissipation channel 18 is provided on the side of the base 1, and the heat dissipation channel 18 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the meter box 5 accommodating area. The heat dissipation channel 18 ensures that the meter box 5 accommodating area is connected with the external air. The air flow improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the meter 5 and reduces the normal operating temperature of the meter 5. The internal and external connections ensure that there is no pressure difference between the inside and outside of the meter box 5, thereby damaging the structure of the meter box 5.

[0046] Installation process:

[0047] First, during the installation process, after placing the base 1 at a predetermined position and ensuring that it is stable, use the hook edge 16 on the side of the base 1 and the convex strip 32 at the lower end of the cover 3 to cooperate with each other for preliminary positioning; at the same time, align the notch 22 on the bottom plate 2 with the positioning column 17 on the base 1 to ensure that the bottom plate 2 is correctly placed on the base 1, and complete the simple positioning combination of the three. Next, take out the rod-shaped installation plug-in 4, prepare to pass it through the insertion hole 15 at the upper end of the cover 3, and vertically insert it into the front end of the curved section 122 of the lock channel 12. When the installation plug-in 4 is fully inserted, continue to apply pressure to make the installation plug-in 4 press the flexible member 14 at the tail of the lock core 13. After being pressed, the flexible member 14 slides in the lock channel 12, driving the lock core 13 to move together, until the lock core 13 passes through the second lock hole 31 of the cover 3 and the first lock hole 21 of the bottom plate 2, so as to achieve the connection and fixation between the bottom plate 2, the cover 3 and the base 1. Finally, the elastic member 131 on the side of the lock core 13 automatically pops out and embeds into the locking hole 123 on the side of the lock channel 12 to prevent the lock core 13 from accidentally retreating, ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure, and checking whether all components have been correctly installed.

[0048] When disassembly is required, first press the elastic member 131 on the side of the lock core 13 by hand or with an appropriate tool to completely enter the lock channel 12, and release the locking relationship between the elastic member 131 and the locking hole 123. Then, hold the installation plug-in 4 and gently pull it upward. Since the damping member 41 at the lower end of the installation plug-in 4 fits tightly with the trigger groove 141 at the end of the flexible member 14, the pulling action will pull the flexible member 14 and the lock core 13 at the same time. As the installation plug-in 4 is pulled out, the lock core 13 gradually withdraws from the second lock hole 31 of the cover 3 and the first lock hole 21 of the bottom plate 2 until the lock core 13 is completely reset. At this time, the cover 3 and the bottom plate 2 can be easily separated from the base 1.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] Figure 8 A quick disassembly and assembly of an electric meter box provided by this embodiment is shown. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a flexible member 14 made of soft rubber material is used to replace the flexible member 14 formed by splicing multiple metal blocks.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
