Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electricity meter technology, specifically a split-type quick-plug electricity meter. Background Technology

[0002] An electricity meter is a device used to measure electricity consumption and is usually installed in the distribution box at the entrance of a household. Generally, only one electricity meter is needed in a household, installed by the power company in the distribution box to measure electricity usage. However, in some rental or commercial establishments, a large number of electricity meters are required. For example, in shared rental apartments, it is generally necessary to measure the electricity consumption of each room individually, thus requiring an electricity meter to be installed in each room.

[0003] For existing electricity meter installations, it is necessary to frequently use a screwdriver to connect the wires to the meter's wiring ports. When installing a large number of electricity meters, this increases the probability of incorrect connections and the subsequent maintenance burden. Therefore, a split-type quick-installation electricity meter is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a folding protective sleeve is fitted on the outside of the docking terminal, and when the socket frame moves and presses against the mating sleeve, it causes the moving frame and the docking terminal to extend outward.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the fixing frame is provided with a hollow groove, and a snap-fit ​​strip is provided at the upper ends of both sides of the hollow groove. A snap-fit ​​frame is provided at the bottom of the side frame. The snap-fit ​​frame and the snap-fit ​​strip are snapped together. The fixing frame is provided with mounting slide rods on both sides of the hollow groove. The side frame and the mounting slide rods are slidably installed together.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] (1) The base and socket module are plugged together to achieve electrical connection, thereby connecting the electricity meter body to the circuit for electricity consumption statistics. In use, first insert the fixing bracket from the end of the sliding mounting bracket, then plug the electricity meter assembly into the socket module through the end of the base, and finally align and lock the electricity meter assembly and socket module together with the terminal quick-connect mechanism. Finally, fix the entire structure in the distribution box using the sliding mounting bracket and screws to complete the quick installation of the electricity meter assembly.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5, Figure 8 As shown, a split-type quick-connect electricity meter includes a sliding mounting bracket 1 and a fixed bracket 2 that is fitted onto the sliding mounting bracket 1. A terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 is provided at the end of the fixed bracket 2. A socket module 4 is slidably mounted on the fixed bracket 2. The terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 and the socket module 4 are interconnected. An electricity meter assembly 5 is fitted onto the socket module 4. The electricity meter assembly 5 includes an electricity meter body 500 and a base 50. The end of the base 50 is inserted into the socket module 4. The electricity meter assembly 5 and the socket... After the modules 4 are assembled into a whole, they are slidably installed on the fixed frame 2. After the whole is connected to the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3, the electricity meter body 500 is connected to the circuit. The socket module 4 includes a socket frame 44 and a transition frame 40 that are rotatably installed. The electricity meter body 500 is plugged into the transition frame 40 through the base 50 and then electrically connected to the socket frame 44. The fixed frame 2 is also provided with a snap-fit ​​component 6. After the electricity meter assembly 5 is electrically connected to the socket module 4, it is snapped into the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 under the push of the snap-fit ​​component 6.

[0034] Specifically, the electricity meter assembly 5 includes an electricity meter body 500 and a base 50. The base 50 is plugged into the socket module 4 to establish an electrical connection, thus connecting the electricity meter body 500 to the circuit for electricity consumption statistics. In use, first, the fixing bracket 2 is inserted from the end of the sliding mounting bracket 1. The electricity meter assembly 5 is then plugged into the socket module 4 through the end of the base 50. Finally, the electricity meter assembly 5 and socket module 4 are aligned and locked with the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. The entire structure is then fixed in the distribution box using the sliding mounting bracket 1 and screws, completing the rapid installation of the electricity meter assembly 5. The entire installation process of the electricity meter body does not require the use of a screwdriver for wire connection, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the electricity meter while ensuring the safety of the installation process.

[0035] In the socket module 4, the socket frame 44 is directly mounted on the fixed frame 2. A transition frame 40 is set on the socket frame 44. The transition frame 40 can connect to the load through the plug pin 41 and connect the energy meter assembly 5 into the circuit. After the transition frame 40 and the socket frame 44 are connected through the pin 41, the energy meter assembly 5 and the transition frame 40 are connected to form an electrical connection. The energy meter assembly 5 is quickly connected to the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 through the socket module 4. The connection here includes structural connection and circuit connection.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the socket module 4 includes a side frame 45 slidably mounted on the fixed frame 2. The socket frame 44 is rotatably mounted to the side frame 45. The socket frame 44 is provided with a first docking hole 440 and a second docking hole 441 on its side and bottom edge near the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3, respectively. The transition frame 40 is provided with a pin 41. The transition frame 40 is inserted into the socket frame 44 through the pin 41. The edge of the transition frame 40 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​strip 42. The end of the energy meter base 50 is provided with a first insertion groove 51 and a second insertion groove 53 that cooperate with the second snap-fit ​​strip 42. The first insertion groove 51 and the second insertion groove 53 are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0037] Specifically, the socket bracket 44 is rotatably installed between the side bracket 45. When the electricity meter assembly 5 needs to be installed, the socket module 4 can be first removed from... Figure 1 The state shown is flipped 90 degrees so that the slot on the socket bracket 44 points to the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. At this time, the energy meter assembly 5 is at an angle perpendicular to the fixed bracket 2 so that the base 50 and the transition bracket 40 are inserted into each other. Then the energy meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 are flipped 90 degrees back to the initial state and then connected with the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 for installation.

[0038] More specifically, the mutually perpendicular insertion slots 51 and 53 on the inner side of the base 50 are provided because of the two installation methods of the socket module 4. One method retains the external load function of the socket module 4. In this method, the locking strip 42 on the transition frame 40 cooperates with the insertion slot 51 at a horizontal angle. At this time, the pin 41 on the transition frame 40 is upward and can be connected to the load. The other method does not retain the external load function of the socket module 4, but only retains the metering function of the energy meter component 5. In this method, the socket module 4 is rotated 90 degrees so that the transition frame 40 faces the energy meter component 5. At this time, the locking strip 42 on the transition frame 40 is in a vertical state. After the insertion slot 53 on the base 50 and the locking strip are interlocked, the pin 41 on the transition frame 40 is hidden under the base 50, thereby avoiding the external load of the socket module 4.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, conductive protrusions 43 are provided at both ends of the second snap-fit ​​strip 42, and electrical contact points 52 are provided on the first insertion slot 51 and the second insertion slot 53. When the conductive protrusions 43 and the electrical contact points 52 come into contact with each other, the circuit is connected.

[0040] Specifically, in order to ensure that the two connection methods of the socket module 4 can realize the electrical connection between the transition frame 40 and the energy meter assembly 5, electrical contact points 52 are set on the first plug slot 51 and the second plug slot 53, and conductive protrusions 43 are set on the contact parts of the second snap-fit ​​strip 42 with the first plug slot 51 and the second plug slot 53 in the two plugging states, so as to ensure that a reliable electrical connection with the energy meter assembly 5 can be realized in both states.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 includes a wiring frame 30 fixedly installed at the end of the fixed frame 2. A movable frame 31 is hidden inside the wiring frame 30. The movable frame 31 is slidably installed between the wiring frame 30 and the wiring frame 30 via a guide slide post 32. A mating terminal 37 is provided on the movable frame 31 facing the socket module 4. A U-shaped rod 33 is fixedly installed on the edge of the wiring frame 30. The U-shaped rod 33 is slidably installed between the movable frame 31 and the U-shaped rod 33. A mating sleeve 34 is sleeved on one side of the U-shaped rod 33. The mating sleeve 34 passes through the movable frame 31. A U-shaped spring 36 and a return spring 35 are respectively sleeved on both sides of the U-shaped rod 33 located on the movable frame 31.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, a folded protective sleeve 38 is sleeved on the outside of the docking terminal 37. When the socket bracket 44 moves and presses against the mating sleeve 34, it causes the moving bracket 31 and the docking terminal 37 to extend outward.

[0043] Specifically, by fixing the U-shaped rod 33, and combining the U-shaped rod 33 with the mounting sleeve 34, U-shaped spring 36, and return spring 35, after the energy meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 are connected, the assembly moves along the fixed frame 2 towards the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. At this time, the socket frame 44 pushes the mounting sleeve 34 to move on the U-shaped rod 33, thereby causing the U-shaped spring 36 to squeeze and thus causing the moving frame 31 to extend forward, so that the docking terminal 37 can be plugged into the docking hole 440 or docking hole 441 on the socket frame 44 to achieve electrical connection. The plugging of docking hole 440 and docking hole 441 corresponds to the two installation states of the socket module 4 mentioned above.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the fixing frame 2 is provided with a hollow groove 200, and the upper ends of both sides of the hollow groove 200 are provided with snap-fit ​​strips 201. The bottom of the side frame 45 is provided with a snap-fit ​​bracket 450. The snap-fit ​​bracket 450 and the snap-fit ​​strip 201 are snapped together. The fixing frame 2 is provided with mounting slide rods 21 on both sides of the hollow groove 200. The side frame 45 is slidably installed with the mounting slide rods 21. The end of the mounting slide rod 21 away from the snap-fit ​​component 6 is provided with a support spring 22.

[0045] Specifically, the socket module 4 is slidably installed by means of the mounting slide 21. The hollow groove 200 is designed to accommodate the socket module 4 and facilitates the flipping and switching of the socket module 4 between the two installation states, thereby reducing the overall size of the structure.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, a rotating shaft 442 is provided on the mounting axis between the socket bracket 44 and the side bracket 45. A locking groove 444 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 442. A locking bracket 443 is installed on the locking groove 444. The bottom edge of the locking bracket 443 is in contact with the fixing bracket 2.

[0047] Specifically, by using a locking groove 444 at the end of the rotating shaft 442, combined with a locking bracket 443 that is installed in contact with the surface of the fixing bracket 2, the installation angle between the socket module 4 and the side bracket 45 can be locked to prevent the socket module 4 from shaking when it is not plugged into the energy meter assembly 5.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the pin 41 includes a mating section 411 and a plug-in section 412. The mating section 411 is installed in conjunction with the transition frame 40, and a transition groove 410 is provided in the mating section 411.

[0049] Specifically, a transition groove 410 is provided inside the pin 41 for the installation of the plug when an external load is connected, and the transition bracket 40 can also be electrically connected to the energy meter assembly 5.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 11 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 6 includes a top-tightening slide groove 20 disposed on the fixed frame 2, a support frame 60 is slidably installed in the top-tightening slide groove 20, a support plate 61 is disposed at the upper end of the support frame 60, a mating protrusion 62 is disposed on the upper side of the support plate 61, and a spring column 64 is horizontally installed between the support frame 60 and the fixed frame 2.

[0051] Specifically, after the energy meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 are connected, the entire assembly consisting of the energy meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 is manually controlled to move towards the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 and be plugged in. Then, under the action of the spring column 64, the support frame 60 is released, so that the mating protrusion 62 and the end of the base 50 cooperate and lock with each other, ensuring that the energy meter assembly 5, the socket module 4 and the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 are kept electrically connected.

[0052] The working principle of this invention embodiment is as follows:

[0053] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the electricity meter assembly 5 includes an electricity meter body 500 and a base 50. The base 50 is plugged into the socket module 4 to achieve electrical connection, thereby connecting the electricity meter body 500 to the circuit for electricity consumption statistics. In use, first, the fixing bracket 2 is inserted from the end of the sliding mounting bracket 1. The electricity meter assembly 5 is then plugged into the socket module 4 through the end of the base 50. Finally, the electricity meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 are aligned and locked with the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. The entire structure is then fixed in the distribution box using the sliding mounting bracket 1 and screws, completing the rapid installation of the electricity meter assembly 5. The entire installation process eliminates the need for screwdrivers to connect wires, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the electricity meter while ensuring safety during installation. In this design, the socket frame 44 in the socket module 4 is directly mounted on the fixed frame 2. A transition frame 40 is installed on the socket frame 44. The transition frame 40 connects to the load via plug pins 41 while simultaneously connecting the energy meter assembly 5 to the circuit. After the transition frame 40 and the socket frame 44 are connected via pins 41, an electrical connection is formed between the energy meter assembly 5 and the transition frame 40. The energy meter assembly 5 then achieves a quick connection with the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3 via the socket module 4. This connection includes both structural and electrical connections. The socket frame 44 is rotatably mounted between the socket frame 44 and the side frame 45. When the energy meter assembly 5 needs to be installed, the socket module 4 can be first moved from... Figure 1The state shown is flipped 90 degrees so that the slot on the socket bracket 44 points to the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. At this time, the energy meter assembly 5 is at an angle perpendicular to the fixed frame 2 so that the base 50 and the transition frame 40 are interlocked. Then, the energy meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 are flipped 90 degrees back to the initial state and then installed by docking with the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. In order to ensure that the two connection methods of the socket module 4 can realize the electrical connection between the transition frame 40 and the energy meter assembly 5, electrical contact points 52 are provided on the first insertion slot 51 and the second insertion slot 53. At the same time, conductive protrusions 43 are provided on the contact parts of the second snap-fit ​​strip 42 with the first insertion slot 51 and the second insertion slot 53 in the two insertion states, respectively, so as to ensure that a reliable electrical connection with the energy meter assembly 5 can be realized in both states. By fixing the U-shaped rod 33, and combining the U-shaped rod 33 with the mounting sleeve 34, U-shaped spring 36, and return spring 35, after the energy meter assembly 5 and the socket module 4 are connected, they move along the fixed frame 2 towards the terminal quick-connect mechanism 3. At this time, the socket frame 44 pushes the mounting sleeve 34 to move on the U-shaped rod 33, thereby causing the U-shaped spring 36 to squeeze and thus drive the moving frame 31 to extend forward, so that the docking terminal 37 can be plugged into the docking hole 440 or docking hole 441 on the socket frame 44 to achieve electrical connection. The plugging of docking hole 440 and docking hole 441 corresponds to the two installation states of the socket module 4 mentioned above.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
