Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric energy metering boxes, in particular to a multifunctional electric energy metering box. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the power industry, energy metering plays a vital role in power systems. As a key component of energy metering equipment, the performance and functionality of energy meter boxes directly impact the accuracy and reliability of energy metering. Existing energy meter boxes have relatively limited functionality, primarily focusing on basic energy metering, and suffer from numerous deficiencies in practical applications. After searching, the patent with the authorization announcement number CN214203144U discloses a multifunctional electric energy meter box, comprising two meter box brackets connected by hinges on opposite sides. Circular grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the front of the two meter box brackets. The four circular grooves are provided inside the four circular grooves for fixing electronic components. The bottoms of the four clamping mechanisms are provided with flattening mechanisms for flattening the electronic components. Magnetic plates for use with the four flattening mechanisms are fixedly installed on both sides of the front of the two meter box brackets. This multifunctional electric energy meter box, through the clamping mechanism, allows people to pull the clamping plate and the iron movable plate to place the top of the electronic component between the rubber pad and the meter box bracket. Under the action of the spring restoring force, the rubber pad can easily clamp the top of the electronic component. Under the action of the flattening mechanism, people move the iron movable plate to make the roller roll on the electronic component, which can fix the bottom of the electronic component and make the electronic component easily flat on the meter box bracket.
[0003] However, in actual use, the traditional multifunctional electricity meter boxes have poor protection performance and are difficult to withstand the influence of harsh environmental factors. For example, in a humid and dusty environment, the internal electrical components are easily affected by moisture and dust accumulation, resulting in component damage, affecting the accuracy of electricity metering, and even causing safety accidents. In addition, the existing electricity meter boxes are inconvenient to operate during installation and maintenance, and require a lot of manpower and time. On the other hand, due to the long-term presence of a large amount of dust or dust suppression mist on the site, the electronic component information on the information meter box bracket is easily covered by dust and impurities, or wetted by water mist and damaged. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The invention discloses a multifunctional electric energy metering box, aiming to solve the problems raised by traditional multifunctional electric energy metering boxes.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A multifunctional electric energy metering box comprises a metering box, the bottom of the metering box is fixedly connected to two legs, and the bottoms of the two legs are fixedly connected to a support plate; An electronic component fixing mechanism, the electronic component fixing mechanism being located inside the meter box; Dust-proof mechanism; the dust-proof mechanism includes a mounting block, a metal frame, a glass plate and a limiting magnet piece. The mounting blocks are provided in four groups, and the four groups of mounting blocks are respectively fixedly installed on the front of the metering box close to its two sides. The metal frames, glass plates and limiting magnet pieces are each provided with two, and one side of the two metal frames is rotatably connected to the two groups of mounting blocks through two groups of connecting blocks and a rotating shaft. A glass plate is fixedly installed inside the metal frame, and the two limiting magnet pieces are respectively fixedly installed on the inner bottom and top of the metering box, and the two metal frames are adsorbed and connected to the two limiting magnet pieces.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during operation, the electronic components can be fixed inside the metering box, and then the two metal frames and the glass plates can be closed. In the subsequent information display process, the metal frames and the glass plates can be used to block a large amount of dust and dust-suppressing water mist floating in the workplace, thereby preventing the dust and dust-suppressing water mist from affecting and damaging the electronic components. Since the glass plates are easy to clean and wipe regularly, they can effectively avoid affecting the information display work.
[0007] In a preferred solution, the front of the metering box is designed to be open.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the electronic component fixing mechanism includes a meter box bracket, the back of which is fixedly connected to the inner back of the meter box through a connecting column, and the front of the meter box bracket is embedded with a plurality of first metal bars fixedly installed, and the front of the first metal bars is magnetically adsorbed and connected to a plurality of magnet blocks; the front sides of the plurality of magnet blocks are fixedly connected to a lifting ball block.
[0009] In this solution, when fixing electronic components, multiple magnet blocks can be removed, the electronic components can be laid flat on the front of the meter box bracket, and the magnet blocks can be adsorbed and connected to multiple first metal strips through the electronic components. This allows for quick and convenient fixing of the electronic components, and subsequent replacement is also convenient enough, ensuring the ease of use of the device.
[0010] From the above, it can be seen that a multifunctional electricity meter box includes a meter box, the bottom of the meter box is fixedly connected to two legs, the bottoms of the two legs are fixedly connected to a support plate, and the front of the meter box is open; an electronic component fixing mechanism, the electronic component fixing mechanism is located inside the meter box; a dustproof mechanism; the dustproof mechanism includes a mounting block, a metal frame, a glass plate and a limiting magnet sheet, the mounting blocks are provided in four groups, the four groups of mounting blocks are respectively fixedly installed on the front of the meter box near its two sides, the metal frames, glass plates and limiting magnet sheets are each provided with two, one side of the two metal frames are respectively rotatably connected to the two groups of mounting blocks by two groups of connecting blocks and a rotating shaft, a glass plate is fixedly installed inside the metal frame, the two limiting magnet sheets are respectively fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface and top end of the meter box, and the two metal frames are both adsorbed and connected with the two limiting magnet sheets.
[0011] The technical solution of this multifunctional electricity meter box has shown remarkable results in dust prevention, rapid maintenance and environmental adaptability, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: The dustproof mechanism of this invention utilizes a reversible metal frame secured by magnetic retaining elements. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional metering boxes, which rely on fixed glass panels or single dust screens. A lever flips the metal frame, allowing for quick opening and operation. When closed, magnetic attraction seals the door, effectively blocking dust and dust-suppressing mist. Compared to existing door systems secured solely by screws or hinges, this structure requires no tools, significantly improving maintenance efficiency.
[0012] The transparent tempered glass embedded in the metal frame of this invention not only protects against dust but also displays information. The high hardness of the tempered glass protects against flying pebbles in the workplace and allows for regular cleaning to maintain clarity. This design is not found in existing dustproof metering boxes.
[0013] The electronic component fixing mechanism of this invention utilizes a magnetic attraction scheme between a first metal strip and a magnet block, combined with a lifting ball block and a second metal strip, to enable rapid installation and replacement of electronic components. This design eliminates the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of traditional screw fixing methods. Furthermore, the second metal strip serves as a temporary attachment point, freeing up hands to adjust component positions and significantly improving operational convenience.
[0014] The combination of magnets and metal bars in this invention allows electronic components to be fixed without damaging the enclosure, allowing for flexible layout adjustments based on demand. Compared to traditional metering boxes secured by slots and springs, this design is easier to expand and maintain, making it particularly suitable for industrial scenarios where components require frequent replacement.
[0015] The combination of the flashboard, inclined bottom surface, and drain hole in this invention forms a complete waterproof system. The flashboard blocks rainwater from the top, while the inclined bottom surface guides accumulated water out through the drain hole, preventing internal components from becoming damp. This design is superior to existing solutions that rely solely on a curved top structure or a single drain hole.
[0016] The integrated dustproof, waterproof, and quick-maintenance features of this device make it suitable for use in complex environments such as dust, fog, and rain. For example, in construction sites or mines, the reversible dust cover and tempered glass effectively block dust, while the magnetic fixing mechanism ensures component stability in vibrating environments. This comprehensive performance has not yet been fully achieved in existing technologies.
[0017] The combination of the dustproof mechanism and the electronic component fixing mechanism of the present invention is not a simple superposition, but achieves functional complementarity through magnetic adsorption and a flippable structure: the opening and closing actions of the dustproof cover synchronously trigger the adjustment of the component fixing state, forming a closed loop of the operation process.
[0018] The material selection for the tempered glass, magnet blocks, and metal strips in this invention not only meets strength and magnetic requirements, but also enhances long-term durability through surface treatments, such as the rust-proof coating on the metal strips. The reliability of this material combination in harsh environments further demonstrates the inventiveness of the technical solution.
[0019] The dust cover of the present invention adopts an external reversible structure, which is easier to clean and maintain. Compared with the traditional industrial serial port server dust cover, the present invention combines magnetic adsorption and transparent display functions, and has a wider range of application scenarios.
[0020] The quick disassembly and assembly characteristics of the magnetic fixing mechanism of the present invention significantly reduce maintenance time compared to the traditional hanging meter box fixing method through springs and slots; and the temporary adsorption function of the second metal strip further optimizes the operating process, which has not yet received sufficient attention in the existing technology.
[0021] This multifunctional electricity meter box utilizes the collaborative design of a reversible dust cover and magnetic adsorption, rapid magnetic fixation of electronic components, and an integrated and optimized rainwater drainage system to create an innovative solution suitable for complex industrial environments. Its creativity lies not only in the improvements made to individual functional modules, but also in the synergistic efficiency achieved across these modules, resolving the existing conflicts between dust protection and maintenance efficiency, and between environmental adaptability and operational ease. This technical solution, with its breakthroughs in material selection, structural design, and functional integration, offers new insights into the design of electricity metering equipment, demonstrating significant non-obviousness and practical value.
