[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric meter boxes, in particular to a waterproof electric meter box. Background Art
[0002] At present, the electric meter box on the market includes a box body and a box cover. After the box body is installed and fixed, and the box cover is closed, there is a gap at the connection between the box body and the box cover. When the electric meter box is installed outdoors, once encountering strong winds and heavy rains, especially in the southern region, there are often typhoons. Rainwater can easily flow into the box through the gap, thereby affecting the normal operation of the equipment inside the box and even causing a short circuit in the line. In severe cases, it can also damage the circuit, posing certain safety hazards.
[0003] Although the prior art with patent number CN114371323A can achieve leakage prevention of the gaps at the joints, it is not difficult to see from its content that its structure is relatively complicated as a whole, and it can only achieve waterproofing at the wiring holes, and lacks a corresponding solution for waterproofing at the box door.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: a second sealing member is further provided at the connection between the latch and the socket.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model: the cross-sections of the first seal and the second seal are circular, and the first seal and the second seal are both hollow structures and are made of nitrile rubber.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the first seal is squeezed when the box door is closed, so that the first seal fills the gap between the upper edge and the plug plate, so as to achieve the waterproof ability of the meter box, and the deformation of the first seal can also be used to reduce the noise generated when the box door is connected to the box body, and at the same time, the inclined plug plate and the upper edge are matched, so that the waterproof ability of the meter box is further improved.

[0019] Embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present utility model.
[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a waterproof electric meter box, comprising a box body 1 and a box door 2 installed on the box body 1; the upper end and the lower end of the box body 1 are both provided with an upper edge 3, and the upper end and the lower end of the box door 2 are both provided with a plug plate 7 inserted into the upper edge 3, and a first sealing member 5 is provided in the upper edge 3 to reduce the gap when the plug plate 7 contacts the upper edge 3; the upper edge 3 is inclined to guide water to flow to the connection between the box body 1 and the supporting surface, and the plug plate 7 is inclined to guide water to flow to a side away from the box body 1.
[0021] In summary, the first seal 5 is squeezed when the box door 2 is closed so that the first seal 5 fills the gap between the upper edge 3 and the plug plate 7 to achieve the waterproof ability of the meter box. At the same time, the deformation of the first seal 5 can be used to reduce the sound when the box door 2 is connected to the box body 1. At the same time, the inclined plug plate 7 and the upper edge 3 are matched to further improve the waterproof ability of the meter box. Based on this, the structure of the box door 2 is improved, so that the waterproof ability of the device can be reliably improved after the box door is closed.
[0022] Furthermore, since a support portion 6 is provided on the side of the door 2 facing the box body 1, the support portion 6 can be used to contact the box body 1 to further reduce the noise after the door 2 is closed. At the same time, the support portion 6 can also be used to support the door 2 from the inside to enhance the structural strength of the door 2.
[0023] Since the box door 2 is also provided with a window frame 12, and the window frame 12 is welded to the box door 2, specifically, the window frame 12 and the box door 2 can be firmly welded by ultrasonic welding and hot melt welding to achieve sealing and waterproofing of the connection between the box door 2 and the window frame 12.
[0024] Furthermore, since the box door 2 is rotatably mounted with a box cover 4, and the window frame 12 is covered in the box door 2 by the box cover 4, and the outer wall surface of the window frame 12 is also provided with a sealing gasket 11, and the sealing gasket 11 completes the sealing of the connection between the box cover 4 and the box door 2. Therefore, the waterproof ability of the electric meter box can be further improved.
[0025] On the basis of the above scheme, since a bottom plate 13 is also provided at the bottom of the box door 2, and the bottom plate 13 is movably installed at the bottom of the box body 1, the working status of the circuit breaker at the bottom of the box body 1 can be checked through the bottom plate 13. At the same time, the bottom plate 13 is movably connected to the bottom of the box door 2, which makes it convenient for the box door 2 and the bottom plate 13 to form a whole to completely cover the entire box body 1, and the two can also be produced and processed independently of each other, thereby reducing production costs and facilitating the installation and replacement of the bottom plate 13.
[0026] Specifically, since the bottom plate 13 is further provided with a socket 8 , and the socket 8 is adapted to be connected with a latch 9 provided at the bottom of the door 2 , the assembly of the bottom plate 13 and the box body 1 can be simplified.
[0027] Furthermore, since a second sealing member 10 is provided at the connection between the latch pin 9 and the socket 8, the connection between the two can be sealed.
[0028] Furthermore, since the cross-sections of the first seal 5 and the second seal 10 are circular, and both the first seal 5 and the second seal 10 are hollow structures and are made of nitrile rubber, the two seals have strong adaptability, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.
[0029] In summary, the device utilizes seals at various sealing locations to complete the sealing and optimizes the box door structure, thereby further improving the waterproof level of the electric meter box.
[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
