Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of neutral line terminals, in particular to a neutral line terminal for an electric energy metering box. Background Art
[0002] At present, the terminals used in power distribution equipment are commonly small-capacity "UK" series terminals and large-capacity "TC" series terminals. The terminals of this structure occupy a large space. In order to save space in the meter box, some merchants set the neutral terminal to Figure 1 , 2 The structural form shown includes an insulating base 1 and a bolt 4, wherein the insulating base 1 is made of phenolic resin, and the bolt 4 is made of metal. The bottom surface of the insulating base 1 is provided with a limit block and a hole, and the top surface of the insulating base is provided with a blind hole. The bolt 4 matches the nut 3. When the bolt 4 and the blind hole are matched and assembled, the head of the bolt 4 and the nut 3 are both located in the blind hole, and then the blind hole is cast with phenolic resin. After the phenolic resin is cured, the nut 3 and the head of the bolt 4 are fixed in the blind hole.
[0003] In the present zero-line terminal structure, since the bolt 4, nut 3 and insulating base 1 are fixedly connected as one by phenolic resin casting, the bolt 4 and insulating base 1 cannot be disassembled. Once the bolt 4 or insulating base 1 is damaged or the terminal cannot be used due to assembly defects, the zero-line terminal can only be replaced as a whole, resulting in a waste of resources. On the other hand, the non-detachable structure causes the terminal to be recycled and classified for secondary processing and production. The terminal needs to be hot-melted first to separate the bolt and the insulating base. Before the bolt is melted for secondary production, the phenolic layer it adheres to needs to be removed, and then each is produced for secondary production. This disassembly method causes inconvenience in production. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0030] A neutral terminal for an electric energy meter box, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes an insulating base 1 and a bolt 4 . The bolt 4 is installed in the insulating base 1 , and the screw portion 42 thereof extends upward out of the top surface of the insulating base 1 .
[0031] The insulating base 1 is a cylindrical resin member, and its structure is as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, two wing parts 15 are integrally formed near the bottom surface of the left and right sides of the insulating base 1. The bottom surfaces of the two wing parts 15 are flush with the bottom surface of the insulating base 1. The two wing parts 15 are respectively provided with fixing holes 16. A limiting boss is centrally provided on the bottom surface of the insulating base 1. A hole is opened at the center of the bottom surface of the insulating base 1. The hole is a blind hole structure, and the hole passes through the limiting boss. A blind hole 12 is provided on the top surface of the insulating base. The hole wall of the blind hole 12 is integrally formed with four protrusions 11. The four protrusions 11 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. A slot 14 is formed between each adjacent two protrusions 11. The four protrusions 11 form a total of four slots 14. The inner side surfaces of the four protrusions 11, that is, the side surfaces away from the wall of the insulating hole, are all concave arc structures. The inner side surfaces of the four protrusions 11 enclose a channel for inserting the bolt 4.
[0032] Bolt 4 is a metal part, and its structure is as follows Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the head 41 of the bolt 4 includes a circular plate portion 411, the diameter of the circular plate portion 411 is set correspondingly to the channel formed by the four protrusions 11, and four limit blocks 412 are evenly spaced on the side of the circular plate portion 411, and the shape and size of the limit blocks 412 are set correspondingly to the slot 14.
[0033] The assembly structure of the bolt 4 and the insulating base 1 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, during assembly, the head 41 of the bolt 4 is inserted into the channel formed by the four protrusions. When inserting, the four limit blocks 412 of the bolt are opposite to the four slots 14 formed by the protrusions. Then, the bolt 4 is pushed down until its head 41 enters between the protrusion 11 and the bottom of the blind hole 12. The bolt 4 is rotated so that the four limit blocks 412 are each close to the bottom surface of a protrusion 11, and the bolt 4 and the insulating base 1 are connected and fixed with the nut 3.
[0034] In the present invention, the protrusion 11 is a conical block structure, and the slot 14 formed by two adjacent protrusions 11 is a rectangular slot structure, and the width of the slot 14 is smaller than the width of the protrusion 11. A limiting slot 13 corresponding to the limiting block 412 is provided on the bottom surface of each protrusion 11, and the limiting block 412 is inserted into the limiting slot 13 to form a limiting structure to prevent the bolt 4 from rotating, so as to facilitate the screwing of the nut 3 and thus facilitate the fixing of the bolt 4.
[0035] In the present invention, the protrusion 11 is arranged at the middle and lower part of the blind hole 12, and the distance from the bottom surface of the protrusion 11 to the bottom of the blind hole 12 is set correspondingly to the thickness of the head 41 of the bolt 4. The bolt 4 is matched with a fixing sleeve 2, which is a resin insulating sleeve. The fixing sleeve 2 is sleeved on the screw part 42 of the bolt 4, and the bottom surface of the fixing sleeve 2 fits the top surface of the protrusion 11. The bolt 4 and the nut 3 connect and fix the fixing sleeve 2 and the insulating base 1.

At the same time, the structure can disassemble the neutral terminal, which is convenient for parts classification and conducive to the secondary production of parts.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
