Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electricity metering boxes, and in particular to a single-phase electricity metering box. Background Technology

[0002] A single-phase power meter is a specialized device used to measure and record the electricity consumption of a single-phase AC power source. Commonly used single-phase power meter boxes are installed outdoors and are widely used in low-power electricity consumption scenarios such as residential buildings and shops.

[0003] In related technologies, single-phase electricity metering boxes include a box body and a box door. The box body is equipped with electrical devices such as an electricity meter, an incoming main switch, and an outgoing switch.

[0004] In environments with heavy rainfall or dust storms, when power outages are required for maintenance, users need to open the electricity meter box door and then disconnect the power to the outgoing line switch. This operation exposes the inside of the electricity meter box to the outside environment, allowing rainwater or dust to enter and potentially affect the electrical components inside. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to reduce the amount of rainwater or dust entering the electricity metering box during the opening and closing of the outgoing switch inside the electricity metering box, this application provides a single-phase electricity metering box.

[0006] This application provides a single-phase electricity metering box, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A single-phase electricity metering box includes an outer shell, the outer shell comprising a housing and a meter switch box door rotatably connected to the housing. A third chamber is formed on the side of the housing facing the meter switch box door, and an outgoing switch is disposed within the third chamber. A mounting hole aligned with the outgoing switch is formed on the side of the meter switch box door facing the housing. A storage slot is formed on the side of the meter switch box door facing the third chamber, and a sealing structure for opening and closing the mounting hole is disposed within the storage slot. The sealing structure includes two limiting vertical plates disposed on the bottom wall of the storage slot and a limiting horizontal plate located below the mounting hole. The mounting hole is located between the two limiting vertical plates, and the lower parts of both limiting vertical plates are connected to the limiting horizontal plate. A mounting frame is disposed on the side of the limiting vertical plates away from the bottom wall of the storage slot, and a through hole aligned with the outgoing switch is formed on the mounting frame. A sealing plate for sealing the mounting hole is slidably disposed between the mounting frame and the bottom wall of the storage slot, and the sealing plate is located between the two limiting vertical plates.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the outgoing switch needs to be closed, the blocking plate is driven to rise, opening the mounting hole. The user can then operate the outgoing switch to switch the circuit on and off. This reduces the area of ​​the electricity metering box connected to the outside world, minimizing the entry of rainwater, dust, and other foreign objects into the electricity metering box and protecting the internal electrical devices. Conversely, the blocking plate is driven to descend, sealing the mounting hole and preventing foreign objects from entering the electricity metering box.

[0009] Optionally, the sealing plate has a groove on the side facing the bottom wall of the storage tank.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can use the groove to drive the sealing plate to rise, opening the mounting hole and making it easier for the staff to operate the outgoing switch; conversely, the staff can drive the sealing plate to fall, closing the mounting hole to prevent dust and other foreign objects from entering the third chamber and reduce damage to the electrical devices in the third chamber.

[0011] Optionally, the housing is rotatably connected to a meter box door located above the meter switch box door. A second chamber is opened on the side of the housing facing the meter box door. A meter insert is installed in the second chamber, and a meter body is inserted into the meter insert. A receiving groove is opened on the side of the meter box door facing the second chamber. An observation channel aligned with the meter body is opened on the bottom wall of the receiving groove. An observation frame is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove. A second observation hole communicating with the observation channel is opened on the side of the observation frame facing the second chamber. A protective plate made of transparent material is installed in the second observation hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, staff can observe the electricity meter in the second chamber through the second observation hole without opening the meter box door, which is convenient.

[0013] Optionally, a locking structure is provided between the meter switch box door and the meter box door, and a partition is provided on the box body between the meter box door and the meter switch box door. The locking structure includes a locking rod that is vertically slidably disposed on the bottom wall of the storage tank. A flexible locking hook is provided on one side of the locking rod along the length of the box body. A second insertion hole is opened on the lower inner wall of the receiving tank for the locking rod and the locking hook to pass through. A first insertion hole communicating with the second insertion hole is opened on the upper inner wall of the storage tank. A punch hole is opened on the partition for communicating with the second insertion hole. The locking hook can be hooked and engaged with the meter box door. An operating structure for driving the locking rod to rise and fall is provided on the sealing plate. An unlocking structure is provided on the meter box door for driving the locking hook to unlock from the meter box door.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating structure drives the locking rod and the locking hook to rise together, and the locking rod and the locking hook pass through the first and second sockets together; during the movement of the locking component structure, the locking hook is first restricted by the door of the meter switch box, causing the hook part of the locking hook to deform. After the hook part of the locking hook passes through the second socket, the locking hook resets so that the hook part hooks and engages with the door of the meter box, so that the door of the meter box is not easy to open when the locking structure is not unlocked.

[0015] Optionally, the operating structure includes a gear rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the storage tank, a linkage rack disposed on the side of the locking rod away from the locking hook, and a drive rack disposed above the sealing plate. The gear is located on the side of the linkage rack away from the locking rod, and the linkage rack meshes with the gear. The drive rack is located on the side of the gear away from the linkage rack, and the drive rack meshes with the gear.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plate is driven to descend, which in turn drives the drive rack to descend, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the linkage rack, locking rod, and locking hook to rise together; conversely, the sealing plate is driven to rise, which ultimately causes the locking rod and locking hook to descend.

[0017] Optionally, the unlocking structure includes an unlocking block located on the side of the locking hook away from the locking rod and an active magnet horizontally slidably disposed on the side of the meter box door away from the box body. The unlocking block is slidably disposed on the lower inner wall of the storage slot, and an unlocking magnet is disposed on the side of the unlocking block facing the bottom wall of the receiving slot. The unlocking magnet and the active magnet are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the active magnet is driven to move. Since the active magnet and the unlocking magnet are magnetically attracted to each other, the active magnet drives the unlocking magnet and the unlocking block to move together. The unlocking block pushes the locking hook so that the locking hook no longer contacts the lower inner wall of the receiving groove, that is, the locking hook is released from the lock of the meter box door. At this time, the staff can drive the sealing plate to rise.

[0019] Optionally, a flexible operating hook is provided below the locking rod, and an operating groove is provided on the upper end face of the sealing plate for the locking rod and the operating hook to be inserted. An operating bar is provided in the operating groove, and the operating hook can hook and cooperate with the operating bar.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plate is driven to rise, which in turn drives the rack to rotate the gear. The gear then drives the locking rod and the operating hook to descend, so that the operating hook is inserted into the operating groove and hooks with the operating bar, thereby locking the sealing plate and keeping the mounting hole open. This eliminates the need for operators to support the sealing plate when operating the outgoing switch, thus saving effort.

[0021] Optionally, the sealing plate is provided with an unlocking component. The sealing plate has an operating hole that connects to the operating groove on its side along the length of the box. The operating hole is located on the side of the operating bar away from the operating hook. The upper inner wall of the operating hole is coplanar with the lower surface of the operating bar. The lower inner wall of the operating hole has a sliding groove. The sealing plate has a sliding hole that connects to the sliding groove on the side away from the third chamber. The unlocking component includes an operating rod that passes through the operating hole, a sliding rod that is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, and a sliding block that is slidably disposed in the sliding hole. The sliding rod is connected to the lower part of the operating rod, and one side of the sliding rod is connected to the sliding block.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator drives the slider to move horizontally, and the slider drives the slide rod and the operating rod to move in the direction of the operating hook. The operating rod pushes the operating hook so that the hook part of the operating hook no longer contacts the lower surface of the operating bar, and the operating hook no longer engages with the operating bar. At this time, the operator can drive the sealing plate to descend.

[0023] Optionally, multiple mounting holes and sealing plates are provided, and the multiple mounting holes and sealing plates are distributed in a horizontal direction. The sealing plate has a slot for inserting an operating rod on the side away from the operating hole. An iron plate is provided on the side of the operating rod away from the operating slot. A connecting magnet is provided on the bottom wall of the slot.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider is driven to move away from the operating hook, so that the sliding rod and the operating rod move together away from the operating hook, causing the operating rod to be inserted into the slot on the adjacent sealing plate, so that the two sealing plates are linked and can move up and down synchronously.

[0025] Optionally, a support structure for connecting the outgoing switch is provided on the inner wall of the third chamber away from the meter switch box door. The support structure includes a support base and a support bar disposed on the side of the support base facing the meter switch box door. The support base is disposed on the inner wall of the third chamber away from the meter switch box door. The outgoing switch is mounted on the support bar and can move along the length of the support bar.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a support structure, the outgoing switch is made closer to the mounting hole, so that the staff does not need to put their hands into the third chamber to operate the outgoing switch, thus improving the convenience of operation.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. When the outgoing switch needs to be closed, the drive sealing plate rises to open the mounting hole, allowing the user to operate the outgoing switch to switch the circuit on and off. This minimizes the area of ​​the electricity metering box connected to the outside world, reducing the entry of rainwater, sand, and other foreign objects into the electricity metering box and protecting the internal electrical devices. Conversely, the drive sealing plate descends to seal the mounting hole, preventing foreign objects from entering the electricity metering box.

[0029] 2. A locking lever and a locking hook are used to connect the meter box door to the meter switch box door, further locking the meter box door and preventing unauthorized personnel from unlocking the locks on the meter box door and opening it, thus preventing electricity theft; in addition, the locking structure is hidden inside the outer casing to avoid being noticed by unauthorized personnel.

[0077] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 An operating lever 526 passes through an operating groove 522. One end of the operating lever 526 is inserted into the operating groove 522, and the other end extends out of the sealing plate 507. A sliding rod 527 is slidably disposed within a sliding groove 530, and its upper end face is fixedly connected to the operating lever 526. A sliding block 528 is slidably disposed within a sliding hole 531, with one end of the sliding block 528 fixedly connected to the sliding rod 527, and the other end of the sliding block 528 being coplanar with the end face of the sealing plate 507 facing the mounting hole 502.

[0078] Reference Figure 7 A slot 532 is provided on the side of the sealing plate 507 away from the operating hole 529, and the slot 532 is at the same height as the operating hole 529. A connecting magnet 533 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the slot 532. An iron piece 534 is fixedly connected to the end of the operating rod 526 away from the operating slot 522. Both the iron piece 534 and the operating rod 526 can be inserted into the slot 532 on the adjacent sealing plate 507.

[0079] The implementation principle of a single-phase electricity metering box in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the active magnet 517 is driven to move horizontally. The active magnet 517 drives the unlocking magnet 516 and the unlocking block 515 to move through magnetic force, so that the unlocking block 515 releases the operating hook 524 from the meter box door 400. Then, the sealing plate 507 is driven to rise. The sealing plate 507 drives the drive rack 519 to rise. The drive rack 519 drives the gear 520 to rotate. The gear 520 then drives the linkage rack 521, the locking rod 511 and the operating hook 524 to fall, so that the locking rod 511 is no longer inserted into the meter box door 400. Finally, the locking rod 511 and the operating hook 524 are inserted into the operating groove 522 on the sealing plate 507. The operating hook 524 and the operating bar 523 hook and cooperate to lock the sealing plate 507, preventing the sealing plate 507 from falling, so that the mounting hole 502 can be opened and the operator can operate the outgoing switch 215.

[0080] Conversely, the slider 528 is moved horizontally to release the lock between the operating hook 524 and the operating bar 523, and then the sealing plate 507 is driven to descend. The sealing plate 507 drives the drive rack 519 to descend, and the drive rack 519 drives the gear 520 to rotate. The gear 520 then drives the linkage rack 521, the locking rod 511 and the operating hook 524 to rise. The locking rod 511 and the operating hook 524 pass through the first insertion hole 513, the punch hole 219 and the second insertion hole 415 in sequence, and finally make the operating hook 524 hook and engage with the meter box door 400, further locking the meter box door 400. Even if the electricity thief unlocks the lock on the meter box door 400, he will still not be able to open the meter box door 400, thus preventing the electricity thief from stealing electricity.
