[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 16This embodiment of a rural power metering box fixing bracket includes a fixed ground 1, a canopy 2 and a protective net 3 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed ground 1, a fixing mechanism 4 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed ground 1, a lifting mechanism 5 provided on the outside of the fixing mechanism 4, and a sliding mechanism 7 provided on one side of the fixing mechanism 4. The fixing mechanism 4, the lifting mechanism 5, the sliding mechanism 7, the power metering box 6 and the locking mechanism 8 are located inside the protective net 3. The sliding mechanism 7 includes a support body 71, and a moving cavity 72 and a locking groove 79 opened inside the support body 71. The locking groove 79 is inserted into the locking block 81, so that the power metering box 6 can be stabilized when it is reset. The lower end of the support body 71 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 41. The moving cavity 72 has sliding guide grooves 73 on both sides of the inner wall. The sliding guide grooves 73 are made of magnetic material. The inner walls of the sliding guide grooves 73 are fixedly installed on both sides. The guide rod 44 is slidably connected to the damping block 46. The damping block 46 is made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy moves slowly inside the magnet, thus producing a damping effect. When the water stops rising, the water is unstable and will slosh, causing the power metering box 6 to slosh as well, resulting in instability of the power metering box 6. Therefore, by setting the damping block 46, the damping block 46 can not move instantly when the water sloshes due to its slow movement speed, thus ensuring the stability of the power metering box 6. The damping effect produced by the slow movement of the damping block 46 inside the sliding guide groove 73 is an eddy current damping effect. The eddy current damping effect is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The fixing mechanism 4, lifting mechanism 5, and sliding mechanism 7 are made of 304 austenitic stainless steel, so they will not be affected by the sliding guide groove 73. Among them, the float 51, the sliding guide groove 73, and the damping block 46 are not made of this material. A power metering box 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed mechanism 4. A locking mechanism 8 is provided inside the lifting mechanism 5. The locking mechanism 8 includes two symmetrically distributed locking block slots 86. Sliding limit slots 82 are opened on the inner walls of the locking block slots 86 on both sides. Guide rods 83 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the sliding limit slots 82 on both sides. The outer side of the guide rods 83 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide blocks 84. The locking block slots 86 are opened through the upper end of the support rod 53. A locking block 81 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking block slots 86. Guide blocks 84 are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the locking blocks 81. A return spring 85 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide blocks 84. The end of the return spring 85 away from the guide blocks 84 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding limit slots 82. The lifting mechanism 5 includes two symmetrically distributed floats 51. The floats 51 can generate a large buoyancy in the water, thereby driving the power metering box 6 to rise and fall. Two symmetrically distributed limit blocks 56 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the floats 51, and two symmetrically distributed support rods 52 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the floats 51. A control rod 57 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support rod 52. Two symmetrically distributed grooves 58 are opened on the outer side of the control rod 57, and the side of the control rod 57 that contacts the locking block 81 is arc-shaped, thereby reducing the contact resistance. The outer side of the control rod 57 slides against the inner wall of the sliding cavity 59. One end of the control rod 57 extends into the interior of the support rod 53. A spring 54 and a telescopic rod 55 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support rod 52. The upper ends of the spring 54 and the telescopic rod 55 are fixedly connected to the support rod 53. A locking mechanism 8 is provided at the upper end of the support rod 53, and one end of the support rod 53 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed block 43 and the balance block 45 respectively. The end of the support rod 53 away from the float 51 extends into the sliding guide groove 73. The support rod 53 and the telescopic rod 55 are both provided with sliding cavities 59, and the spring 54 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 55. The fixing mechanism 4 includes two symmetrically distributed support columns 41 and fixing blocks 43. The upper end of the support column 41 is provided with a sliding mechanism 7. Two symmetrically distributed guide grooves 47 are opened on the outside of the support column 41. The inner wall of the guide groove 47 is slidably connected to one side of the limiting block 56. A crossbeam 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the two fixing blocks 43. A balance block 45 is fixedly installed on the side of the two fixing blocks 43 away from the crossbeam 42. A damping block 46 is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing blocks 43.

[0026] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: When installing the power metering box 6, it is necessary to prepare a fixed ground 1 in advance to ensure the stability of the installation and use of the power metering box 6 and other mechanisms. At the same time, the canopy 2 can block rain and sunlight, ensuring that the power metering box 6 will not be flooded or experience high temperature and aging. The installation of the protective net 3 can prevent children and livestock from approaching the power metering box 6, thus ensuring the safety of the power metering box 6. When the rainy season arrives and the water rises, under the support of the fixed mechanism 4, the float 51 first comes into contact with the water. At the same time, the buoyancy of the water can make the float 51 move upward. When the float 51 moves upward, the spring 54 contracts, the telescopic rod 55 contracts, and the float 51 pushes the control rod 57 upward. The control rod 57 slides upward inside the sliding cavity 59. At the same time, the pressure on the locking block 81 on one side of the control rod 57 gradually decreases. At this time, the locking block 81 gradually moves. At the same time, the reset spring 85 contracts, and the guide block 84 slides under the support of the guide rod 83, thus ensuring the sliding of the locking block 81. Simultaneously, when one end of the locking block 81 is not in contact with the control rod 57, one end of the locking block 81 enters the groove 58, and the control rod 57 stops moving. At this time, the locking block 81 is completely disengaged from the locking groove 79 and enters the locking block groove 86, thereby unlocking the fixing mechanism 4. When the water continues to rise, the spring 54 and the telescopic rod 55 retract to their limit. At this time, the support short rod 52 can push the support long rod 53 to move, and the support long rod 53 pushes the balance block 45 and the fixed block 43 to move upward, thereby driving the power metering box 6 upward, thus ensuring the safety of the power metering box 6. When the water recedes, the above steps can be reversed to complete the reset. When the fixed block 43 completely stops moving, the fixed block 43 stops moving on the moving cavity 72. At this time, the spring 54 can continue to unfold and move, and the float 51 can move. The control rod 57 can move, and the arc surface of the control rod 57 can squeeze the locking block 81, thereby causing the locking block 81 to enter the locking groove 79 to complete the locking.

[0027] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
