[0040] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] This embodiment provides a housing fixing structure of an electric energy meter, as shown in the attached Figure 1-6 As shown, including:
[0043] The watch cover 11 is provided with a through hole 111. Here, the through hole 111 passes through the bottom surface of the watch cover 11. The size of the through hole 111 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the through hole 111 is described only by taking a rectangular hole as an example.
[0044] The bottom shell 12 is provided with a bayonet plate 13 , and the bayonet plate 13 passes through the through hole 111 . When the bottom shell 12 is matched with the surface cover 11 , the bayonet plate 13 passes through the through hole 111 and extends to the surface cover 11 .
[0045] One of the bayonet plate 13 and the inner side of the side wall of the meter cover 11 is provided with a hook groove 14, and the other of the bayonet plate 13 and the inner side of the side wall of the meter cover 11 is provided with a hook protrusion 15 that cooperates with the hook groove 14. When the connection is located on the inner side of the side wall of the meter cover 11, there is no buckle connection on the outer side of the entire shell, which improves the ability of the electric energy meter to prevent unauthorized disassembly and ensures the safe and reliable operation of the product. When the bayonet plate 13 is provided with a hook groove 14, the inner side of the side wall of the meter cover 11 is provided with a hook protrusion 15; conversely, when the bayonet plate 13 is provided with a hook protrusion 15, the inner side of the side wall of the meter cover 11 is provided with a hook groove 14.
[0046] Specifically, as attached Figure 2-4 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the hook groove 14 is located on the bayonet plate 13. Here, the hook groove 14 is specifically located where the bayonet plate 13 extends to one end of the watch cover 11. At this time, the thickness of the bayonet plate 13 can be consistent from top to bottom, or it can be gradually reduced from one end of the bottom shell 12 to the top. The through hole 111 is adapted to the bayonet plate 13. At this time, the through hole 111 is adapted to the cross section of the bayonet plate 13. The hook groove 14 is located on the bayonet plate 13, which reduces the thickness of the bayonet plate 13 and the width of the through hole 111, which is more conducive to the layout on the watch cover 11. In addition, the hook groove 14 can also be located on the inner side of the side wall of the watch cover 11, but it should be noted that the hook groove 14 cannot horizontally penetrate the side wall of the watch cover 11, and because the hook protrusion 15 is located on the bayonet plate 13, the thickness of the bayonet plate 13 will increase, and the width of the through hole 111 will also increase.
[0047] Specifically, as attached Figure 6 As shown, a first guide surface 131 is provided at the top of the bayonet plate 13. The first guide surface 131 is provided so that the bayonet plate 13 can better cooperate with the watch cover 11, thereby forming a guiding and fixing effect. The first guide surface 131 can be an inclined surface or an arc surface, so that the bayonet plate 13 can better pass through the through hole 111 and cooperate with the hook protrusion 15. Here, the first guide surface 131 passes through the through hole 111, slides on the outer surface of the hook protrusion 15, and finally passes over the hook protrusion 15.
[0048] Specifically, as attached Figure 3-4 As shown, a groove 112 is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the watch cover 11, where the groove 112 opens toward one side of the inner side of the watch cover 11, and the groove 112 is connected to the through hole 111. The groove 112 will not penetrate the side wall of the watch cover 11, so the outer side of the side wall of the watch cover 11 is solid. The hook protrusion 15 is located in the groove 112. The setting of the groove 112 forms a yielding design to ensure that the connection and fixing effect between the hook protrusion 15 and the hook groove 14 is formed without affecting the structure of the watch cover 11 itself. The bayonet plate 13 extends into the groove 112 for fixing. At this time, the first guide surface 131 is close to the top surface of the groove 112, and the first guide surface 131 can also be against the top surface of the groove 112.
[0049] Specifically, as attached Figure 3-4 As shown, the groove 112 does not penetrate the top surface of the side wall of the watch cover 11, and the groove 112 forms a certain limiting effect. Here, the top surface of the groove 112 cooperates with the first guide surface 131 to form a limiting effect. When the hook protrusion 15 cooperates with the hook groove 14, there can be a certain gap between the first guide surface 131 and the top surface of the groove 112, or the first guide surface 131 and the top surface of the groove 112 can be against each other to form a further fixing effect.
[0050] Specifically, as attached Figure 3-4 As shown, the hook protrusion 15 is provided with a second guide surface 151. When the hook protrusion 15 is located on the watch cover 11, the second guide surface 151 is located on the lower end of the hook protrusion 15. The second guide surface 151 can be an inclined surface or an arc surface. The second guide surface 151 is used to cooperate with the first guide surface 131 to form a guiding effect. When the hook protrusion 15 cooperates with the hook groove 14, the second guide surface 151 is accommodated in the hook groove 14.
[0051] Specifically, as attached Figure 3-4 As shown, the hook protrusion 15 is provided with a contact surface 152. When the hook protrusion 15 is located on the watch cover 11, the contact surface 152 is located on the upper end of the hook protrusion 15. The contact surface 152 is specifically the top surface of the hook protrusion 15. When the hook protrusion 15 is fixed with the hook groove 14, the contact surface 152 abuts against the top surface of the hook groove 14. The provision of the contact surface 152 improves the overall fixing effect and prevents it from falling off. Here, the contact surface 152 is specifically a plane. Therefore, the cross-section of the hook protrusion 15 forms a right-angled trapezoidal structure, the second guide surface 151 is located at the bottom, and the side close to the center of the watch cover 11 is a vertical plane 153, one end of the vertical plane 153 is connected to the second guide surface 151, and the other end of the vertical plane 153 is connected to the contact surface 152.
[0052] Specifically, as attached Figure 5 As shown, the hook protrusion 15 does not extend beyond the inner side surface of the side wall of the watch cover 11. Since the hook protrusion 15 is located in the groove 112, and the groove 112 is located in the side wall of the watch cover 11, the groove 112 forms an embedded effect. At this time, the inner side surface of the groove 112 forms a step with the inner side surface of the side wall of the watch cover 11. The limitation of the hook protrusion 15 will not affect the structure of the watch cover 11 itself. The hook protrusion 15 can be flush with the inner side surface of the side wall of the watch cover 11, or it can be lower than the inner side surface of the watch cover 11. Specifically, the vertical plane 153 can be flush with the inner side surface of the side wall of the watch cover 11, or it can be lower than the inner side surface of the watch cover 11.
[0053] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3As shown, the meter cover 11 is provided with a first chamber 113 cooperating with the first cover 16 and a second chamber 114 cooperating with the second cover 17. The first cover 16 closes the first chamber 113, where the first chamber 113 is located above the meter cover 11 for wiring. The second cover 17 closes the second chamber 114, where the second chamber is located below the meter cover 11 for wiring. In this embodiment, the shell forms an effect of upper and lower wiring, which can be considered as a wiring structure with upper inlet and lower outlet. The hook protrusion 15 or the hook groove 14 is accommodated in the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114. The buckle position is arranged below the first cover 16 and the second cover 17, and cannot be directly touched or disassembled under the protection of the cover, which greatly improves the ability of the electric energy meter to prevent unauthorized disassembly and ensures the safe and reliable operation of the product. Specifically, the hook protrusion 15 is accommodated in the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114.
[0054] Specifically, there are four hook protrusions 15 or hook grooves 14, and the hook protrusions 15 or hook grooves 14 are respectively accommodated in the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114 in groups of two. The fixing structure of the four corners makes the fixing of the entire shell more firm and stable. In this embodiment, there are four hook protrusions 15, and one hook protrusion 15 is respectively provided on the inner side of the left and right side walls of the first chamber 113, and one hook protrusion 15 is respectively provided on the inner side of the left and right side walls of the second chamber 114. Since the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114 are arranged up and down, a distribution of four corners is formed, thereby improving the overall fixing strength.
[0055] Specifically, the first cover plate 16 is rotatably connected to the surface cover 11, and the second cover plate 17 is rotatably connected to the surface cover 11. The rotatably connected manner prevents the first cover plate 16 and the second cover plate 17 from falling off.
[0056] Specifically, the first cover plate 16 is connected and fixed to the bottom shell 12 through a seal structure, and the second cover plate 17 is also connected and fixed to the bottom shell 12 through a seal structure, thereby forming a double protection effect. When it is necessary to disassemble the watch, the seal must be destroyed first before the hook groove 14 and the hook protrusion 15 can be disassembled.
[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of hook grooves 14 and hook protrusions 15 can be adjusted according to actual needs. There can be multiple hook grooves 14 and hook protrusions 15 to achieve full snap connection, or there can be snap connection combined with screws to form a connection and fixing effect between the cover 11 and the bottom shell 12.
[0058] Specifically, when the cover 11 and the bottom shell 12 are connected and fixed, the outer side of the side wall of the cover 11 and the outer side of the side wall of the bottom shell 12 are arranged in the same plane, so that the overall aesthetics is improved.
[0059] In addition, the structure inside the housing is irrelevant to this embodiment and will not be described in detail.
[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
