Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of low-voltage energy meters, and relates to an operating system and method for replacing meters without power interruption, in particular to an operating system and method for replacing single-phase low-voltage energy meters without power interruption. Background Art

[0002] An energy meter, also known as an electricity meter, is a device used to measure electrical energy. The replacement work of traditional single-phase low-voltage energy meters requires the cooperation of users to cut off power. Although the meter replacement time is very short, it also causes periodic power outages for users, affecting the normal life of residents and making it difficult to meet the electricity demand of electricity-sensitive customers. How to meet the needs of electricity-sensitive users, improve the uninterrupted power supply duration and the quality of power supply and use service levels, and significantly reduce the number of service work orders for electricity metering services is an urgent problem for every power supply enterprise.

[0003] Currently, there are also many devices for replacing meters without power interruption on the market, which can be roughly divided into two categories. The first category is the electricity meter connector short-circuit bypass device. For this type of product, the electricity meter connector needs to be installed first when installing the electricity meter, and then the electricity meter is installed on the connector. When the meter needs to be replaced, a mechanical device on the connector is rotated to establish a short-circuit bypass for the electricity meter, causing the meter to lose power, and finally realizing meter replacement without power interruption. However, this type of product has the following defects: 1. Each electricity meter connector can only serve one electricity meter. Today, with a huge number of electricity meters, large-scale installation adds huge cost expenditures to enterprises; 2. This product can only be used for newly installed electricity meters. For existing meters, if an electricity meter connector wants to be installed, power must be cut off for installation, which does not achieve the expected effect of uninterrupted power supply for users; 3. This product sometimes has a millisecond-level short power outage during the process of rotating the mechanical device of the connector to short-circuit the electricity meter; 4. This product cannot measure the electricity consumption of users during meter replacement, resulting in power loss for the power supply enterprise.

[0004] The second category of products uses a piercing device to penetrate the power supply line and the user line to obtain voltage and current, connects the obtained voltage and current to relevant equipment, short-circuits the meter through this equipment and measures the electricity consumption, and finally realizes meter replacement without power interruption. This type of product also has the following defects: 1. The piercing device damages the insulation level of the original power supply line, easily causing risks of electric shock and fire; 2. The piercing device is a one-time product and is expensive.

[0005] After retrieval, no publicly disclosed literature of prior art identical or similar to the present invention was found. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and propose a power-off-free meter replacement operation system and method.

The outer sides of the 2 copper pins with built-in springs are respectively connected to 2 copper wires with a second layer of insulating skin. The other ends of the 2 copper wires with a second layer of insulating skin are respectively a second universal quick plug with an insulating shell and a third universal quick plug with an insulating shell. The copper pins with built-in springs naturally extend in the natural state.

[0016] Moreover, the live meter-changing operation toolbox includes: a first power grid power input port and a second power grid power input port, a first user end output port and a second user end output port, and a first digital voltmeter for measuring the voltage value between the first power grid power input port and the first user end output port; a second digital voltmeter for measuring the voltage value between the second power grid power input port and the second user end output port; the power-off meter-changing operation toolbox further includes: a 2P main switch and a digital rail meter; the 2P main switch is used to control the on-off of the meter short-circuit bypass; the digital rail meter is used for electric energy metering.

At this time, under the connection of the second copper wire covered with insulating skin, the L2 and N2 lines are conducting;

[0022] Observe the voltage values of the first digital voltmeter and the second digital voltmeter in the live meter replacement operation toolbox; if the values are not zero, it means that the zero and live wires of the input and output terminals of the live meter replacement operation toolbox do not correspond. At this time, connect the second universal quick plug with an insulating shell to the second user terminal output port and connect the third universal quick plug with an insulating shell to the first user terminal output port to solve the problem;

[0057] The functions and roles of the components of the present invention are as follows:

[0058] (1) Develop a power-taking device for the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter

[0059] Develop a power-taking device for a 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter. Its main body is made of plastic and can be sleeved from the front of the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter and fit tightly. The buckle on the back of the power-taking device for the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter can hold the rear shell of the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter, ensuring that it does not fall off naturally after being sleeved into the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter.

[0060] (2) Incorporate the power-off meter replacement operation toolbox into the meter circuit to establish a short-circuit bypass.

[0061] Prepare two copper wires with alligator clips at one end and universal quick plugs at the other end. Clamp the two alligator clip jaws on the neutral busbar and live busbar of the power supply line in front of the meter respectively, and connect the two universal quick plugs to the grid power input port of the power-off meter replacement toolbox; connect the power-taking device behind the meter to the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter, and connect the two universal quick plugs at the other end of the power-taking device behind the meter to the user-side output interface of the power-off meter replacement operation box.

[0062] (3) Check the zero and live wire phases at the input and output ends.

[0063] Observe the two digital voltmeters on the power-off meter replacement operation toolbox. If the voltage is not 0, it means that the zero and live wire connections at the input and output ends are inconsistent, and the two universal quick plugs at the user-side output interface need to be swapped. When the voltage is 0, the zero and live wire connections at the input and output ends are consistent at this time.

[0064] (4) Reset the readings of the digital rail meter in the toolbox.

Close the 2P air circuit breaker in the power-off meter replacement operation toolbox. At this time, the short-circuit bypass of the meter is conducted. Disconnect the 2P air circuit breaker behind the meter and the 2P air circuit breaker in front of the meter in sequence, and the meter loses power, and then start the power-off meter replacement.
