Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power engineering, and specifically relates to a lifting-type residential meter box installation platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction and maintenance of power facilities, the installation of residential meter boxes must strictly follow relevant specifications. It is generally required that the bottom of the box be more than 1.5 meters above the ground to ensure power safety and facilitate meter reading and maintenance.

[0003] Currently, the industry mainly relies on the following two traditional methods for installing such high-altitude electrical meter boxes: Vehicle-mounted lifting platforms: Although vehicle-mounted lifting platforms have advantages such as large lifting height and strong load-bearing capacity, they are bulky, have poor mobility, and require specific site conditions. In scenarios with limited space, such as narrow alleys, large vehicles often cannot enter or operate, which greatly limits their applicability.

[0004] The manual hoist and ladder setup involves several steps: workers first need to climb to the designated height with a ladder, secure a temporary anchor point on the utility pole, then suspend the manual hoist from that point. Next, the meter box is connected to the hoist's hook on the ground, and finally, the meter box is lifted from the ladder. This process is lengthy and time-consuming, significantly impacting construction efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a lifting-type residential meter box installation platform to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the limitations of existing vehicle-mounted lifting platforms due to space constraints, and the problems of cumbersome operation and low efficiency associated with simple manual hoists and ladders, this invention provides a lifting-type residential meter box installation platform.

The telescopic inner rod is inserted into the inner cavity of the lifting sub-column and can slide up and down along the inner cavity of the lifting sub-column. The first drive assembly is disposed between the lifting sub-column and the telescopic inner rod and is used to drive the telescopic inner rod to extend and retract axially relative to the lifting sub-column. The support platform is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic inner rod.

[0008] Preferably, the base has a U-shaped structure, and multiple casters are fixedly installed at its bottom.

[0009] Preferably, the second drive assembly includes a threaded rod, a nut block, and two bearing seats, the two bearing seats being respectively installed at the inner bottom and inner top of the fixed main column; The threaded rod 2 is rotatably mounted between the two bearing seats 2, and its upper end passes through the top bearing seat 2 and is fixedly mounted with a second handwheel; The nut block is sleeved on the threaded rod and threadedly engaged with it, and the nut block is fixedly connected to the lifting auxiliary column.

[0010] Preferably, the first drive assembly includes a threaded rod, a threaded cylinder, and a bearing seat, wherein the threaded cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner top of the telescopic inner rod; The bearing housing is installed at the inner bottom of the lifting auxiliary column, and the threaded rod is rotatably installed on the bearing housing. Its lower end passes through the bearing housing and is fixedly installed with the first handwheel. The upper end of the threaded rod is threadedly engaged with the threaded cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, guide rails are vertically fixed on the front and rear outer walls of the fixed main column, and sliders are fixedly installed on the front and rear outer walls of the lifting auxiliary column, with the sliders slidably mounted on the guide rails.

[0012] Preferably, multiple ribs are fixedly connected between the bottom surface of the support platform and the top end of the telescopic inner rod.

[0013] Preferably, the top surface of the support platform is symmetrically provided with two sets of clamping components for fixing the resident meter box to be installed.

[0015] Preferably, two clamps are fixedly installed on the side of the fixed main column away from the lifting auxiliary column.

[0016] Preferably, the support platform has two hanging holes spaced apart for connecting the hooks of the telescopic ladder.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention effectively solves the problems of traditional vehicle-mounted lifting platforms being bulky and requiring high-quality work sites by setting up a multi-stage lifting structure consisting of a base, a fixed main column, a lifting auxiliary column, and a telescopic inner rod. Furthermore, the device has a compact overall structure and is equipped with casters at the bottom, providing excellent mobility and flexibility. It can easily enter narrow alleys for operation, significantly expanding its applicability and reducing the construction difficulty caused by site limitations.

[0018] 2. By fixing the meter box to the top surface of the support platform, the present invention eliminates the need for workers to repeatedly climb ladders to set up temporary hanging points.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 This invention provides a technical solution for a lifting-type residential meter box installation platform: Example 1: according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base 31, a fixed main column 1, a lifting auxiliary column 6, a telescopic inner rod 81, a support platform 10, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly.

[0025] The base 31 has a U-shaped structure, and multiple casters 32 are fixedly installed at its bottom, which makes it easy for the device to move flexibly in narrow alleys or work sites.

[0026] The U-shaped opening end of the base 31 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged support seats 4. The fixed main column 1 is vertically fixed on the two support seats 4. Two clamps 2 are fixedly installed on the side of the fixed main column 1 away from the lifting auxiliary column 6. By setting clamps 2 on the side of the fixed main column 1, the device can be connected to the fixed structure of the utility pole, further improving the overall stability during operation.

[0027] The lifting auxiliary column 6 is located on one side of the fixed main column 1. In order to achieve smooth lifting of the lifting auxiliary column 6, guide rails 51 are vertically fixed on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the fixed main column 1. Slider blocks 52 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the lifting auxiliary column 6. The sliders 52 are slidably set on the guide rails 51 to form a guiding fit.

[0028] The second drive assembly is located between the fixed main column 1 and the lifting auxiliary column 6, and is used to drive the lifting auxiliary column 6 to move vertically. Specifically, the second drive assembly includes a threaded rod 93, a nut block 94, and two bearing seats 92. The two bearing seats 92 are respectively installed at the inner bottom and inner top of the fixed main column 1. The threaded rod 93 is rotatably installed between the two bearing seats 92, and its upper end passes through the top bearing seat 92 and is fixedly installed with a second handwheel 91.

[0029] Nut block 94 is sleeved on threaded rod 93 and threadedly engaged with it. Nut block 94 is fixedly connected to lifting auxiliary column 6. When the operator turns the second handwheel 91, it drives threaded rod 93 to rotate, thereby driving nut block 94 to move axially along threaded rod 93, thereby driving lifting auxiliary column 6 to slide up and down along guide rail 51.

[0030] The telescopic inner rod 81 is inserted into the inner cavity of the lifting sub-column 6 and can slide up and down along the inner cavity of the lifting sub-column 6. The first drive assembly is set between the lifting sub-column 6 and the telescopic inner rod 81 and is used to drive the telescopic inner rod 81 to extend and retract axially relative to the lifting sub-column 6 to achieve the final height positioning.

[0031] The first drive assembly includes a threaded rod 83, a threaded cylinder 82, and a bearing seat 85. The threaded cylinder 82 is fixedly installed on the inner top of the telescopic inner rod 81. The bearing seat 85 is installed on the inner bottom of the lifting auxiliary column 6. The threaded rod 83 is rotatably installed on the bearing seat 85. Its lower end passes through the bearing seat 85 and is fixedly installed with a first handwheel 84. The upper end of the threaded rod 83 is threadedly engaged with the threaded cylinder 82. When the first handwheel 84 is turned, the threaded rod 83 rotates, driving the telescopic inner rod 81 to extend or retract.

[0032] The support platform 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic inner rod 81. In order to enhance the support strength, multiple ribs 11 are fixedly connected between the bottom surface of the support platform 10 and the top of the telescopic inner rod 81.

[0033] In practical use, the lifting residential meter box installation platform of the present invention is used by the staff to first push the device to the installation position using casters 32, and then use clamps 2 to fix the main column 1 to the utility pole. Next, the resident meter box to be installed is placed on the support platform 10. The operator first turns the second handwheel 91 to raise the lifting auxiliary column 6 to a height close to the target height (e.g., about 1.3 meters from the ground) through the second drive component. Then, the operator turns the first handwheel 84 to drive the telescopic inner rod 81 to extend upward through the first drive component, so that the meter box on the support platform 10 reaches the specified installation height (e.g., more than 1.5 meters from the ground).

[0034] At this point, workers can use a ladder to securely install the meter box.

[0035] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment further optimizes the fixing function and auxiliary function of the meter box.

[0036] The top surface of the support platform 10 is symmetrically equipped with two sets of clamping components to fix the resident meter box to be installed, preventing the meter box from slipping or tilting during the lifting process.

[0037] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a fixing block 71 and an adjusting bolt 72. The fixing block 71 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support platform 10. The adjusting bolt 72 is threaded through the fixing block 71, and a clamping plate 73 is fixedly installed at its end. By rotating the adjusting bolt 72, the clamping plate 73 can be pushed to move inward, thereby clamping the resident meter box.

[0038] In addition, to meet the needs of installation at higher positions or to assist personnel in climbing for inspection, the support platform 10 has two hanging holes 12 at intervals for connecting the hooks of the telescopic ladder. When a higher working height is required, the top hook of the telescopic ladder can be hung in the hanging hole 12, using this platform as a stable bottom support point.
