Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of electricity meter boxes, and more particularly to triple-sealed anti-theft electricity meter boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, electricity meters are typically installed at the user end to track electricity consumption. These meters require corresponding electricity metering boxes for use. The metering box is a housing and control unit for the electricity meter and is an important piece of equipment used in power distribution systems. It is an electrical device that receives and distributes electrical energy in the power system.

[0003] Existing anti-theft metering boxes mainly prevent electricity theft through physical protection measures, such as locking the metering box, sealing it, and installing anti-theft devices.

[0004] However, when using physical protection measures to prevent electricity theft, because when using a single seal to prevent theft of the meter box, there is room for the door lock, observation window, meter connector and other parts to be pried open or moved and then reset; therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the electricity meter box has been stolen; at the same time, it is impossible to know if the electricity meter box has been opened abnormally. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this invention proposes a triple-sealed anti-theft electricity metering box. When the box door is pried open from the inside, the micro-fiber optic sealing ring is permanently broken due to the mutual compression between the door and the metering box body. After resetting, no trace can be hidden. Simultaneously, signals are transmitted to the controller along flexible connecting lines one and two. The controller, amplified by the two antennas, immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform. Simultaneously, signals are transmitted along flexible connecting line three to the alarm light, triggering a local high-decibel alarm and flashing light as a warning. When the observation window is pried open beyond 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire permanently breaks, leaving no trace after resetting. Simultaneously, the micro-spring also disconnects. Therefore, the brittle wire and micro-spring can be used to determine whether the electricity metering box body has been stolen. The signal is transmitted to the controller along flexible connecting lines one and two. The controller, amplified by the two antennas, immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform. Simultaneously, signals are transmitted along flexible connecting line three to the alarm light, triggering a local high-decibel alarm and flashing light as a warning.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a triple-sealed anti-theft electricity meter box, comprising an electricity meter box body made of stainless steel to prevent rust; the electricity meter box body has a built-in connector cover, an anti-reset seal, and an interference fit connector; an external snap-on cover is added, which is fixed to the meter back plate by a one-time brittle bridge; the front end of the electricity meter box body is movably connected to a sealing device for triple-sealing anti-theft; the electricity meter box body is equipped with an alarm device for alarming the electricity meter box body; the sealing device includes a sealing component movably connected to the electricity meter box body for triple-sealing anti-theft; the sealing component contains an observation component for observing the electricity meter box body; the alarm device includes an Internet of Things (IoT) component installed in the electricity meter box body for electrical connection with the sealing component; and the electricity meter box body is equipped with an alarm component for alarming.

[0008] In addition, the triple-sealed anti-theft electricity metering box proposed in this application may also have the following additional technical features: Specifically, the sealing assembly includes a door movably connected to the main body of the electricity metering box for sealing the main body. The door is connected to the main body of the electricity metering box via a latch, thus allowing easy opening and closing of the main body to facilitate the installation of the electricity meter inside the box. The front end of the door has a placement slot for placing the observation component. A brittle wire for electrical connection with the IoT component is installed in the placement slot. Therefore, when the observation component is pried up beyond 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire permanently breaks, leaving no trace after resetting. Simultaneously, the alarm device immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform and triggers a local high-decibel alarm as a warning.

[0009] Specifically, the rear end of the box door is provided with a lead seal groove and a second placement groove for triple sealing of the electricity meter box body, and the lead seal groove is located outside the second placement groove. The lead seal groove and the second placement groove are not shared, and the destruction of either channel can trigger the seal. The second placement groove is embedded with a micro-fiber sealing ring for electrical connection with IoT components. The micro-fiber sealing ring is subjected to crimping-broken wire memory treatment. When the ring is closed again, the light attenuation will increase due to reflection, forming an irreversible indication of being opened.

[0010] Specifically, the door is equipped with an anti-theft lock for locking the door onto the electricity metering box body. Therefore, the anti-theft lock can be used to set a serrated interlocking groove on the contact surface between the door and the electricity metering box body, which, together with a special lead-sealed screw, forms a physical lock. The rear end of the door is fixedly equipped with a reinforcing rib for strengthening the electricity metering box body. There are several reinforcing ribs, and the several reinforcing ribs 218 are distributed in a linear array at the rear end of the door.

[0011] Specifically, the observation component includes an observation window disposed in a placement slot for protection, and a micro-spring is embedded at the rear end of the observation window for protecting the observation window.

[0012] Specifically, the rear end of the micro-spring is provided with a bolt for fixing the observation window in the placement groove.

[0013] Specifically, the IoT component includes a controller fixedly installed inside the electricity metering box body, a flexible connecting line one for electrical connection with a brittle wire is fixedly installed inside the controller, and a flexible connecting line two for cooperating with the flexible connecting line one is provided inside the controller.

[0014] Specifically, an antenna for signal diffusion is fixedly installed on the top of the controller, and there are two antennas, which are symmetrically arranged from left to right and penetrate the top of the electricity metering box body.

[0015] Specifically, the alarm component includes a flexible connecting line three that is electrically connected to the controller, and an alarm light for alarming is fixedly installed at the end of the flexible connecting line three away from the controller.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: By incorporating a sealing and alarm device, when the box door is pried open from the inside, the micro-fiber optic sealing ring will permanently break due to the mutual compression between the door and the electricity metering box body. Once reset, no trace can be hidden. Simultaneously, signals will be transmitted to the controller along flexible connection lines one and two. The controller, amplified by the two antennas, will immediately send location information to the power company's monitoring platform. Simultaneously, signals will be transmitted along flexible connection line three to the alarm light, triggering a local high-decibel alarm and flashing lights as a warning. When the observation window is pried open beyond 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire will permanently break, leaving no trace after reset. Simultaneously, the micro-spring will also disconnect. Therefore, the brittle wire and micro-spring can be used to determine if the electricity metering box body has been stolen. The signals will be transmitted to the controller along flexible connection lines one and two. The controller, amplified by the two antennas, will immediately send location information to the power company's monitoring platform. Simultaneously, signals will be transmitted along flexible connection line three to the alarm light, triggering a local high-decibel alarm and flashing lights as a warning.

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. Rather, embodiments of the invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0021] The triple-sealed anti-theft electricity metering box of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1-8As shown, the triple-sealed anti-theft electricity meter box of this embodiment may include an electricity meter box body 100. A sealing device 200 for triple-sealing the electricity meter box body 100 is movably connected to the front end of the electricity meter box body 100. An alarm device 300 for alarming the electricity meter box body 100 is provided inside the electricity meter box body 100. The sealing device 200 includes a sealing component 210 movably connected to the electricity meter box body 100 for triple-sealing the electricity meter box body 100. An observation component 220 for observing the electricity meter box body 100 is provided inside the sealing component 210. The alarm device 300 includes an Internet of Things (IoT) component 310 disposed within the electricity meter box body 100 for electrical connection with the sealing component 210. An alarm component 320 for alarm functions is also disposed within the electricity meter box body 100. When protection of the electricity meter is required, a micro-fiber sealing ring 216 can be embedded in the second placement slot 215. Simultaneously, by using four bolts 223 passing through the micro-spring 222 and threadedly connected to the box door 211, the observation window 221 can be installed in the first placement slot 212. A broken wire 213 can also be installed at the bottom of the observation window 221. Finally, an anti-theft lock 217 is used to secure the box door 211 to the electricity meter. Inside the metering box body 100; when the door 211 is pried open, the mutual squeezing of the door 211 against the metering box body 100 will permanently disconnect the micro-fiber sealing ring 216, leaving no trace after resetting; simultaneously, the signal will be transmitted along flexible connection line one 313 and flexible connection line two 314 to the controller 311, and the controller 311, under the diffusion of the two antennas 312, will immediately send the location information to the power company's monitoring platform; and simultaneously, the signal will be transmitted along flexible connection line three 322 to the alarm light 321 to trigger a local high-decibel alarm and flashing light as a warning; while the observation window 221 is pried open... When the distance is 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire 213 is permanently disconnected, and no trace can be hidden after resetting; at the same time, the micro spring 222 also disconnects synchronously. Therefore, the brittle wire 213 and the micro spring 222 can be used to determine whether the electricity meter box body 100 has been stolen; at the same time, the signal will be transmitted to the controller 311 along the flexible connection line 1 313 and the flexible connection line 2 314, and the controller 311 will immediately send the location information to the power company's monitoring platform under the diffusion of the two antennas 312; and at the same time, the signal will be transmitted to the alarm light 321 along the flexible connection line 322 to trigger the local high-decibel alarm and the flashing of the light as a warning.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main body 100 of the electricity meter box is made of stainless steel to prevent rust from forming. The main body 100 of the electricity meter box has a built-in connector cover, an anti-reset seal, and an interference fit connector. An additional snap-on cover is added to the outside, and the cover is fixed to the back plate of the meter by a one-time brittle bridge.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the sealing assembly 210 includes a door 211 movably connected to the electricity metering box body 100 for sealing the electricity metering box body 100. The door 211 is connected to the electricity metering box body 100 via a latch, thus allowing the electricity metering box body 100 to be easily opened and closed, facilitating the installation of the electricity meter inside the electricity metering box body 100. The front end of the door 211 has a placement slot 212 for placing the observation assembly 220. The placement slot 212 contains a brittle wire 213 for electrical connection with the Internet of Things component 310. Therefore, when the observation assembly 220 is pried up beyond 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire 213 is permanently broken, leaving no trace after resetting. Simultaneously, the alarm device 300 immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform and triggers a local high-decibel alarm as a warning.

[0025] Furthermore, the rear end of the door 211 is provided with a lead seal groove 214 and a second placement groove 215 for triple sealing of the electricity meter box body 100. The lead seal groove 214 is located outside the second placement groove 215. The lead seal groove 214 and the second placement groove 215 are not shared, and the destruction of either channel will trigger the seal. The second placement groove 215 is embedded with a micro-fiber sealing ring 216 for electrical connection with the Internet of Things component 310. The micro-fiber sealing ring 216 is subjected to crimping-broken wire memory treatment. Ring 216 is a product of the combination of micro-nano fiber technology and packaging process. Its core lies in the stabilization and functional application of micro-fiber structure through precision processing and packaging technology. The micro-fiber sealing ring 216 is prepared by melting and tapering the fiber region without coating under high temperature heating conditions, stretching the two ends in opposite directions to form a symmetrical tapered waveguide structure, and obtaining uniform glass fibers with a diameter as small as 50nm through two heating and stretching processes. It has the characteristics of low loss and high proportion of evanescent wave transmission.

[0026] Furthermore, the door 211 is equipped with an anti-theft lock 217 for locking the door 211 onto the electricity metering box body 100. Therefore, the anti-theft lock 217 can be used to set a serrated interlocking groove on the contact surface between the door 211 and the electricity metering box body 100, which, together with a special lead-sealed screw, forms a physical lock. The rear end of the door 211 is fixedly installed with a reinforcing rib 218 for reinforcing the electricity metering box body 100, and there are several reinforcing ribs 218, which are distributed in a linear array at the rear end of the door 211.

[0027] Furthermore, the observation component 220 includes an observation window 221 disposed in the placement slot 212 for protection, and the observation window 221 is made of PC transparent plate, so the observation window 221 can be used to observe the status of the electricity meter inside the electricity meter box body 100; the rear end of the observation window 221 is inlaid with a micro spring 222 for protecting the observation window 221; when the observation window 221 is pried up more than 0.8–1.2mm, the brittle wire 213 is permanently broken, and the traces cannot be hidden after resetting; at the same time, the micro spring 222 is also broken simultaneously, so the brittle wire 213 and the micro spring 222 can be used to determine whether the electricity meter box body 100 has been stolen.

[0028] Furthermore, the rear end of the micro spring 222 is provided with a bolt 223 for fixing the observation window 221 in the placement slot 212. Therefore, the observation window 221 can be installed in the placement slot 212 by using the bolt 223 through the threaded connection between the micro spring 222 and the box door 211.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the Internet of Things component 310 includes a controller 311 fixedly installed inside the electricity meter box body 100. The controller 311 is the prior art. A flexible connecting wire 313 for electrical connection with the broken wire 213 is fixedly installed inside the controller 311. A flexible connecting wire 314 for cooperating with the flexible connecting wire 313 is provided inside the controller 311. The flexible connecting wire 313 and the flexible connecting wire 314 are installed on the electricity meter box body 100 and the box door 211 by snap-fit.

[0030] Furthermore, an antenna 312 for signal diffusion is fixedly installed on the top of the controller 311, and there are two antennas 312, which are symmetrically arranged from left to right and penetrate the top of the electricity metering box body 100.

[0031] Furthermore, the alarm component 320 includes a flexible connecting line 322 electrically connected to the controller 311. An alarm light 321 for alarm purposes is fixedly installed at the end of the flexible connecting line 322 furthest from the controller 311. When the cabinet door 211 is pried open, the mutual compression between the cabinet door 211 and the electricity metering box body 100 causes the micro-fiber sealing ring 216 to permanently disconnect, leaving no trace after resetting. Simultaneously, signals are transmitted along the flexible connecting lines 313 and 314 to the controller 311, which, under the diffusion of the two antennas 312, immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform. Simultaneously, signals are transmitted along the flexible connecting line 322 to the alarm light 321 to trigger the alarm. The system issues a warning by triggering a local high-decibel alarm and flashing lights. When the observation window 221 is pried up more than 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire 213 permanently breaks, leaving no trace after resetting. Simultaneously, the micro-spring switch 222 also disconnects. Therefore, the brittle wire 213 and micro-spring switch 222 can be used to determine whether the electricity meter box 100 has been stolen. At the same time, the signal is transmitted to the controller 311 along the flexible connection line 1 313 and the flexible connection line 2 314. The controller 311, under the diffusion of the two antennas 312, immediately sends the location information to the power company's monitoring platform. Simultaneously, the signal is transmitted to the alarm light 321 along the flexible connection line 322 to trigger a local high-decibel alarm and flashing lights as a warning.

[0032] In summary, the triple-sealed anti-theft electricity metering box of this invention, when the electricity meter needs protection, can embed the micro-fiber sealing ring 216 in the placement slot 215; simultaneously, by using four bolts 223 to pass through the micro-spring 222 and connect with the box door 211 through the threaded connection, the observation window 221 can be installed in the placement slot 212, and the brittle wire 213 can also be installed at the bottom of the observation window 221; then, the anti-theft lock 217 is used to install the box door 211 inside the electricity metering box body 100; when the box door 211 is pried open from the inside, the micro-fiber sealing ring 216 will be permanently broken due to the mutual squeezing of the box door 211 against the electricity metering box body 100, and the traces cannot be hidden after resetting; at the same time, the signal will be transmitted to the controller 311 along the flexible connection line 313 and the flexible connection line 314, and the controller 311 will be diffused by the two antennas 312. The system immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform and simultaneously transmits the signal along the flexible connection line 322 to the alarm light 321 to trigger a local high-decibel alarm and flashing light as a warning. When the observation window 221 is pried up more than 0.8–1.2 mm, the brittle wire 213 permanently disconnects, leaving no trace after resetting. At the same time, the micro-spring 222 also disconnects, so the brittle wire 213 and micro-spring 222 can be used to determine whether the electricity meter box 100 has been stolen. Simultaneously, the system transmits the signal along the flexible connection line 313 and the flexible connection line 314 to the controller 311, which, under the diffusion of the two antennas 312, immediately sends location information to the power company's monitoring platform and simultaneously transmits the signal along the flexible connection line 322 to the alarm light 321 to trigger a local high-decibel alarm and flashing light as a warning.
