Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power equipment technology, specifically relating to a low-voltage outdoor metering box based on uninterrupted meter replacement. Background Technology
[0002] Low-voltage outdoor metering boxes are a common device used in home electricity connections. These boxes contain electricity meters that record user consumption, allowing users to understand their usage and facilitating meter readings by the power company. They are an important component of the home electricity connection system. When replacing meters in existing low-voltage outdoor metering boxes, power needs to be cut off to the corresponding user to ensure the safety of electricians and prevent electric shock during the meter replacement process. This results in a power outage for the user during the meter replacement process, affecting the user's normal power consumption and the normal power demand of the user's appliances. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-voltage outdoor metering box based on uninterrupted meter replacement, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that power outages occur during meter replacement, thereby affecting the user's normal power supply.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A low-voltage outdoor metering box based on uninterrupted meter replacement includes a box body, and an uninterrupted meter replacement system is installed inside the box body. The uninterruptible power meter replacement system includes a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket fixedly connected to the inner wall of the enclosure; a first air switch is fixedly connected to the first mounting bracket, and a second air switch and a circuit breaker are fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket; an electricity meter is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the enclosure; a first live wire and a first neutral wire are electrically connected between the output terminal of the first air switch and the input terminal of the electricity meter; a second live wire and a second neutral wire are electrically connected between the output terminal of the electricity meter and the input terminal of the second air switch; a third live wire and a third neutral wire are electrically connected between the output terminal of the first air switch and the input terminal of the circuit breaker; and a fourth live wire and a fourth neutral wire are electrically connected between the output terminal of the circuit breaker and the input terminal of the second air switch.
[0005] By setting up a first air switch, a second air switch, an electricity meter, and a parallel bypass connected between the output terminal of the first air switch and the input terminal of the second air switch, when replacing the electricity meter, the first air switch can be disconnected first to cut off the power supply to the meter, and then the circuit breaker can be closed, allowing the mains current to flow directly to the user's side through the bypass. This achieves complete power disconnection and safe replacement of the meter without interrupting the user's power supply. This solves the technical problem of power outages caused by the traditional requirement to cut off the user's power during meter replacement, ensuring the safety of electricians and improving the continuity of power supply services and user satisfaction.
[0006] Furthermore, a high-temperature alarm is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the enclosure. The high-temperature alarm includes a housing, a battery and a control circuit board installed inside the housing, a buzzer alarm electrically connected to the control circuit board, and a temperature detection sensor connected to the control circuit board and the buzzer alarm via a cable. The detection end of the temperature detection sensor passes through the lower side of the housing to detect the internal temperature of the housing.
[0007] The alarm integrates a temperature sensor, control circuit board, and buzzer into one unit, powered by a built-in battery, forming a self-contained, proactive temperature monitoring and early warning system. It can monitor abnormal temperature rises inside the metering box in real time and independently. When the internal temperature exceeds the safety threshold due to overload, poor contact, or other reasons, the buzzer alarm will immediately sound an audible and visual alarm, promptly alerting maintenance personnel or nearby users to potential electrical fire hazards. This provides valuable time for early intervention and response, preventing fires caused by overheating and improving the safety and reliability of the metering box operation.
[0008] Furthermore, the enclosure includes an electrical box and a cover hinged to one side of the electrical box via a hinge. A lock and a corresponding latch are provided between the electrical box and the cover. An observation hole is provided on the cover, and a transparent plate is fixedly embedded in the observation hole.
[0009] The enclosure consists of an electrical box and a hinged cover, equipped with a lock and an observation window. The hinged cover facilitates maintenance operations; the lock and latch ensure theft prevention and accidental opening safety when the cover is closed; the observation hole and transparent panel on the cover allow operators or inspectors to directly observe the readings, operating status, and indicator lights of the internal meters without opening the cover, simplifying daily inspections and meter readings, improving work efficiency, and reducing the safety risks and component wear that may result from frequent opening of the enclosure.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the electrical box is provided with at least one wire hole, and an anti-wear rubber tube is movably inserted into the wire hole. Both ends of the anti-wear rubber tube extend out of the wire hole, and a limiting ring plate is fixedly sleeved on its outer side. The limiting ring plate is located inside the electrical box.
[0011] The cable threading hole structure has been optimized by adding an anti-abrasion rubber tube and a limiting ring plate. The anti-abrasion rubber tube acts as a buffer and isolation layer when cables pass through the metal enclosure, effectively preventing the sharp edges of the enclosure from cutting and abrading the cable insulation layer, thus preventing leakage, short circuits, or even electric shock accidents caused by insulation damage. The limiting ring plate ensures the stable installation of the anti-abrasion rubber tube inside the enclosure, preventing it from falling off. This physical protection significantly enhances the long-term operational safety of the metering box and the lifespan of the circuit, while reducing maintenance costs.
[0012] Furthermore, an automatic fire extinguisher is also fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket, and the automatic fire extinguisher is connected to a temperature sensor and a smoke sensor for triggering its activation.
[0013] Automatic fire extinguishers triggered by temperature and smoke sensors have been added. When an electrical fault inside the enclosure develops into a critical stage with open flames or large amounts of smoke, the sensors can quickly detect the fire signal and automatically trigger the fire extinguisher to release extinguishing agent. Without human intervention, it can quickly suppress the fire in its early stages, effectively preventing its spread and minimizing fire damage, providing a higher level of active fire protection for electrical facilities and the surrounding environment.
[0014] Furthermore, multiple mounting rails and L-shaped guide rails for installing electrical components are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both the left and right sides of the electrical box.
[0015] Standardized mounting rails and L-shaped guide rails were added to the inner wall of the electrical box. The guide rails provide a convenient and unified mechanical interface for installing additional electrical modules, enabling the metering box to go beyond basic metering functions and be upgraded to an intelligent integrated terminal as needed. This facilitates future functional expansion and technological iteration, improves the product's versatility and adaptability, and reduces the complexity and cost of later modifications.
[0016] Furthermore, a first pressure plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the enclosure, and a second pressure plate is detachably connected to the front side of the first pressure plate by multiple screws. The first live wire, the first neutral wire, the second live wire, and the second neutral wire are constrained between the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate.
[0017] The first and second wire clamps, along with screws, provide a detachable clamping mechanism that neatly and securely presses multiple wires into specific positions within the enclosure. This prevents wires from loosening due to gravity or accidental pulling, which could lead to poor contact or arcing. It also makes the wiring inside the enclosure more organized and clear, facilitating heat dissipation and circuit identification during maintenance, thus improving the standardization of the internal structure and the stability of long-term electrical connections.
[0018] Furthermore, the meter is mounted on the inner wall of the box via a fixing plate, which is fixedly connected to the box via multiple threaded nails.
[0019] The mounting plate, serving as an intermediate connector, provides a stable mounting base by securely connecting to the housing via multiple threaded bolts. It also facilitates connection to the back of the meter. During meter replacement, only the connector between the meter and the mounting plate needs to be manipulated; there's no need to move the mounting points on the housing. This simplifies the replacement process, improves efficiency, and reduces repeated installation damage to the housing.
[0020] Furthermore, a U-shaped handle made of insulating material is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box lid.
[0021] A U-shaped handle made of insulating material has been added to the lid, making operation easier and more convenient.
[0022] Furthermore, mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the high temperature alarm box, and the mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box by locking bolts.
[0023] The high-temperature alarm housing is securely and stably fixed using mounting blocks and locking bolts, effectively resisting potential vibrations and preventing the alarm from falling off due to loosening or internal wiring breakage. Simultaneously, the bolt connection facilitates independent installation, debugging, or replacement of the alarm module, improving maintenance convenience and reliability and ensuring its continuous and effective early warning function.

[0050] The working process of this invention is as follows: In use, the power transmission cable is connected to the first air switch 3, and the incoming cable is connected to the second air switch 6. When replacing the meter, the switch of the first air switch 3 is turned down to disconnect the current between the first air switch 3 and the meter 4. The circuit breaker 7 is then opened, allowing the current to be transmitted to the circuit breaker 7 through the third live wire 12 and the third neutral wire 13, and then through the fourth live wire 14 and the fourth neutral wire 15 to the second air switch 6 to connect with the incoming cable. This ensures the normal transmission of electricity to the household. At this time, the meter 4 is not energized, allowing for safe disassembly and replacement of the meter 4. After the meter 4 is replaced, the switch of the first air switch 3 is pushed up to disconnect the circuit breaker 7, allowing the current to be transmitted through the meter 4 back to the second air switch 6, thus restoring the meter 4's power metering function. The operation is simple and convenient, allowing for safe replacement of the meter 4 without interrupting the power supply. This effectively improves the safety of meter 4 replacement and ensures the user's power needs when replacing the meter 4. During use, the temperature detection sensor 25 can monitor the temperature inside the electrical box 27 in real time.

The lock 30 and the latch 29 work together to securely close the lid 28, and the wire hole facilitates wire entry and exit. During use, the temperature sensor 34 can detect the internal temperature of the low-pressure outdoor metering box in real time, and the smoke sensor 35 can monitor the amount of smoke inside the low-pressure outdoor metering box in real time. When the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold set by the automatic fire extinguisher 33 or the smoke sensor 35 detects the threshold that triggers the smoke sensor 35, the automatic fire extinguisher 33 will automatically start and spray fire extinguishing material to extinguish the fire, thereby effectively suppressing the fire of the low-pressure outdoor metering box in a timely manner and effectively improving the safety of the low-pressure outdoor metering box.
[0051] This invention utilizes an uninterrupted meter replacement system. During operation, the power transmission cable is connected to a first circuit breaker, and the incoming power cable is connected to a second circuit breaker. When replacing the meter, the first circuit breaker is flipped downwards to disconnect the current between it and the meter. The circuit breaker is then opened, allowing current to flow through the third live wire and the third neutral wire to the circuit breaker, and then through the fourth live wire and the fourth neutral wire to the second circuit breaker, connecting with the incoming power cable. This ensures normal power supply to the household, and the meter is de-energized, allowing for safe meter replacement. After replacement, the first circuit breaker is pushed upwards to open the circuit breaker, allowing current to flow back through the meter to the second circuit breaker, restoring the meter's metering function. The system is simple and convenient, enabling safe meter replacement without interrupting power, effectively improving the safety of meter replacement and ensuring the user's power needs during meter replacement.
[0052] This invention features a high-temperature alarm. During use, the temperature detection sensor can monitor the temperature inside the electrical box in real time. When the temperature detection sensor detects that the temperature inside the electrical box exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, it will trigger a buzzer alarm through the control circuit board, thereby promptly alerting surrounding personnel to the abnormal temperature of the low-voltage outdoor metering box and effectively improving the safety of using the low-voltage outdoor metering box.
[0053] This invention, through the installation of an automatic fire extinguisher, a temperature sensor, and a smoke sensor, allows the temperature sensor to detect the internal temperature of the low-pressure outdoor metering box in real time, and the smoke sensor to monitor the amount of smoke inside the box. When the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold set by the automatic fire extinguisher or the smoke sensor triggers the smoke sensor's threshold, the automatic fire extinguisher automatically activates and sprays extinguishing material to put out the fire. This effectively and promptly suppresses fires in the low-pressure outdoor metering box, significantly improving the safety of its use.
