[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, in the prior art, for example, a patent document with publication number "CN218549206U" discloses an electric meter box with an anti-theft function. When the box door is opened, the action of the spring is used to make the slider press the touch switch of the alarm, so that the alarm sounds, which plays a good anti-theft function. However, the following defects still exist in the patent technical solution: when the box door is opened for maintenance, the slider will still press the touch switch under the action of the spring, causing a false alarm. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide an anti-electricity theft electric meter box to solve the above-mentioned defects of the prior art.
[0005] The embodiments of the present invention are implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0022] refer to Figure 1-2 A meter box for preventing electricity theft includes a box body 1 and a box door 2. A lock 3 is installed on the box door 2. A rotatable lock core 301 is arranged inside the lock 3. The lock 3 adopts conventional technical means in the field. The principle is to open and close by rotation. For example, a lock plate is arranged on the lock core 301, and the box body 1 is provided with a stopper for blocking the lock plate. When the stopper rotates 90° with the lock core 301, the door 2 can be opened.
[0023] An alarm box 5 is provided inside the box body 1, and an alarm 6 is provided on the alarm box 5. The alarm 6 can be set inside or outside the alarm box 5. A pull rod 7 is slidably passed through the inside of the box body 1. The end of the pull rod 7 close to the lock 3 is defined as the front end, and the other end is defined as the rear end; a touch switch 8 is provided on the inner wall of the front end of the alarm box 5. It should be understood that the touch switch 8 is electrically connected to the alarm 6. When the touch switch 8 is pressed, the alarm 6 sends an alarm signal.
[0024] A pressing plate 701 is provided in the middle of the pull rod 7, and a spring 12 is provided between the pressing plate 701 and the inner wall of the rear end of the box body 1, so that the pressing plate 701 maintains a tendency to press against the touch switch 8. It should be understood that when the box door 2 is locked, the spring 12 is in a compressed state. A lever 4 is provided at the inner end of the lock core 301, and the cross section of the lever 4 perpendicular to the axis is a polygonal structure. The front end of the pull rod 7 is provided with a plug hole that can be matched with the lever 4, that is, the cross section of the plug hole perpendicular to the axis is also square. After the lever 4 is matched with the plug hole, the rotation of the lever 4 can drive the pull rod 7 to rotate. Specifically, the cross section of the lever 4 perpendicular to the axis in this embodiment is a square structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross section of the lever 4 perpendicular to the axis can also be in other shapes, as long as the lever 4 and the plug hole can be matched to prevent the two from rotating relative to each other.
[0025] A baffle plate 9 is provided between the front ends of the lever 4 and the pull rod 7. Side ears 702 are provided on two opposite sides of the front end of the pull rod 7. A through hole 901 is provided on the baffle plate 9 for the pull rod 7 and the side ears 702 to pass through. When the door 2 is locked, the side ears 702 are aligned with the through hole 901.
[0026] It is worth mentioning that the reference Figure 3-4, because when the door 2 is locked, the side ear 702 is aligned with the through hole 901, and because the cross-section of the lever 4 perpendicular to the axis is a polygonal structure, when the key is turned to rotate the lock core 301 to unlock, the lever 4 will drive the pull rod 7 and the side ear 702 to rotate, making it impossible to align with the through hole 901. Therefore, when the door is unlocked normally, the front end of the pull rod 7 is against the baffle 9, and the pressure plate 701 cannot press the touch switch 8, that is, no alarm can be issued. When the door 2 is pried open by illegal personnel, the lock core 301 does not rotate, the side ear 702 can pass through the through hole 901, and the pressure plate 701 can press the touch switch 8 under the action of the spring 12 to issue an alarm. It can be seen that compared with the prior art, the alarm is avoided when the door 2 is opened normally, that is, false alarm is avoided.
[0027] Since the pull rod 7 rotates when the door 2 is unlocked normally, a certain gap is left between the front end of the pull rod 7 and the baffle 9 after the door 2 is locked to avoid large resistance caused by the pull rod 7 and the baffle 9 when the pull rod 7 rotates due to unlocking.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a rotating plate 10 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the rear end of the alarm box 5. The rotating plate 10 can be specifically connected to the alarm box 5 through a bearing. The spring 12 is sleeved on the pull rod 7, and one end abuts against the rotating plate 10, and the other end abuts against the pressure plate 701. This arrangement can avoid large friction between the spring 12 and the alarm box 5 when the pull rod 7 rotates, thereby preventing the spring 12 from twisting.
[0029] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 902 that can cooperate with the side ear 702 is provided on the side of the baffle 9 close to the pull rod 7, and when the door 2 is unlocked and opened, the side ear 702 is aligned with the limiting groove 902. In this way, when the door 2 is unlocked and opened normally, the side ear 702 will be stuck in the limiting groove 902 under the action of the spring 12, preventing the pull rod 7 from rotating and making it difficult for the lever 4 to be inserted into the socket when the door 2 is locked again.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rear end of the pull rod 7 is fixedly connected with a stopper 11. Furthermore, in order to facilitate installation, the stopper 11 is connected to the pull rod 7 through threads, that is, the stopper 11 is designed in a sleeve shape, the inner wall is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the rear end of the pull rod 7 is provided with an external thread matching therewith; or in some embodiments, the stopper 11 is connected to the pull rod 7 through screws, that is, a connecting hole is provided in the center of the stopper 11, a threaded hole is provided in the center of the rear end of the pull rod 7, and the connecting hole and the threaded hole are connected by screws.
[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
