[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A device for infrared acquisition of a portable electricity meter, including an infrared collector 1. A switch button 11 is movably installed on the top of the infrared collector 1. A collection window 12 is opened at the front end of the infrared collector 1. A transparent glass 13 is fixedly installed inside the collection window 12. A magnet strip 14 is inlaid and installed below the collection window 12 at the front end of the infrared collector 1. A storage box 2 is arranged at the front end of the infrared collector 1. A buckle 21 is fixedly installed at the front end of the storage box 2. A screen cleaning component 3 is arranged inside the storage box 2. The screen cleaning component 3 includes sliding grooves 31 opened on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the storage box 2. Sliders 33 are movably installed inside both groups of sliding grooves 31. A connecting plate 34 is fixedly installed between the two groups of sliders 33. A rotating rod 36 is movably installed between the two groups of sliders 33. A brush 38 is arranged at the middle position of the rotating rod 36. Bearings 35 are movably installed at both the left and right ends of the rotating rod 36. The rotating rod 36 is movably installed with the slider 33 through the bearing 35;

[0030] A spring 341 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 34. The connecting plate 34 is made of a metal material. A toothed plate 32 is fixedly installed at the front end of the sliding groove 31 opened on the left inner wall of the storage box 2 on the inner wall of the storage box 2. A transmission gear 37 is fixedly installed on the right side of the left bearing 35 of the rotating rod 36. The tooth pattern of the toothed plate 32 faces the rear end. The teeth at the rear end of the toothed plate 32 are meshed with the transmission gear 37. When the infrared collector 1 is installed inside the storage box 2, the brush 38 can contact the transparent glass 13, and the connecting plate 34 can contact the magnet strip 14. When the spring 341 is compressed to the limit, the elastic force of the spring 341 is greater than the suction force between the magnet strip 14 and the connecting plate 34.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the storage box 2 can be fixed on the waistband through the buckle 21 at its front end, or it can be bound to the left arm of the meter reader with a strap, and it can be bound according to the habits of the meter reader himself. After the storage box 2 is fixed through the buckle 21, the infrared collector 1 is inserted into the inside of the storage box 2. With the setting of the storage box 2, the purpose of facilitating the use of the infrared collector 1 can be achieved. For example, if the meter reader fixes the storage box 2 on the left arm through the buckle 21 and a strap, when reading the meter, only need to stretch out the right hand to take out the infrared collector 1 on the left arm from the storage box 2, and then the work can be carried out. When working, press the switch button 11 to turn on the device, and then align the collection window 12 with the electricity meter. The infrared collector 1 collects the data displayed on the electricity meter and uploads it to the network. After use, casually insert it into the storage box 2 on the left arm. It is convenient to take and place the infrared collector 1 during work, providing sufficient convenience for the use of the infrared collector 1;

[0032] When the infrared collector 1 is stored in the storage box 2, it also has the ability to clean the transparent glass 13 of the collection window 12 at the front end of the infrared collector 1, avoiding the adhesion of dust to the transparent glass 13 after the long-term use of the infrared collector 1, which affects the scanning efficiency of the infrared device in the collection window 12 and even the correctness of data collection. When the infrared collector 1 is placed in the storage box 2, the bottom of the infrared collector 1 is first inserted into the storage box 2. At this time, the magnet strip 14 contacts the connecting plate 34. Since the connecting plate 34 is made of metal, the connecting plate 34 will be attracted by the magnet strip 14. The infrared collector 1 continues to descend, and the connecting plate 34 will descend with the magnet strip 14. During the descent of the connecting plate 34, the spring 341 at the bottom will be compressed. Finally, the infrared collector 1 is completely placed in the storage box 2, and the spring 341 is compressed to the limit by the connecting plate 34. At this time, when the spring 341 is compressed to the limit, its elastic force is greater than the suction force of the magnet strip 14 on the connecting plate 34, and the connecting plate 34 is separated from the magnet strip 14. The connecting plate 34 rises in the sliding groove 31 through the sliders 33 on both sides. When the slider 33 rises, it will also drive the rotating rod 36 to move. A brush 38 is arranged in the middle of the rotating rod 36, and the dust on the surface of the transparent glass 13 is cleaned by the brush 38;

[0033] On the left side of the inner wall of the storage box 2, a toothed plate 32 is also installed. A transmission gear 37 is also installed on the left side of the rotating rod 36. The transmission gear 37 meshes with the tooth pattern at the rear end of the toothed plate 32. When the connecting plate 34 drives the rotating rod 36 to rise through the two sliders 33, the rotating rod 36 will rotate through the transmission gear 37 and the toothed plate 32 through the bearing 35. With the cooperation of the above structures, the rotating rod 36 can also rotate during the rising process. When the rotating rod 36 rotates, it will also drive the brush 38 to rotate. Thus, the brush 38 can rise on the surface of the transparent glass 13 while rotating. Therefore, the cleaning effect of the brush 38 on the transparent glass 13 can be improved.

[0034] Specifically, as Figures 3 to 6 shown, a comb plate 39 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the top of the connecting plate 34. A hollow groove 310 is formed at the bottom inside the storage box 2. The comb plate 39 is inclined backward. The comb plate 39 can contact the brush 38. The hollow groove 310 is perpendicular to the lower part of the comb plate 39.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, a comb plate 39 is installed at the top rear end of the connecting plate 34, and the bristles 38 installed in the middle of the rotating rod 36 are in contact with the comb plate 39. The transmission gear 37 is in meshing state with the tooth plate 32. Therefore, when the rotating rod 36 descends or ascends through the slider 33 and the connecting plate 34, the rotating rod 36 is in a rotating state. When the rotating rod 36 rotates, the bristles 38 will drive the rotation, and the bristles 38 will pass over the comb teeth of the comb plate 39 when rotating. When the rotating rod 36 cleans the dust adhered to the surface of the transparent glass 13 through the bristles 38, the dust will also be drawn into the bristles 38. If it is not cleaned, the bristles 38 will inevitably be full of dust after long-term use. At this time, it will affect the cleaning effect of the bristles 38 on the transparent glass 13. Through the setting of the comb plate 39, the bristles 38 will inevitably pass through the comb teeth of the comb plate 39 when the bristles 38 rise or fall through the rotating rod 36. Therefore, the bristles 38 have the ability to clean the dust caught in the bristles 38, so that the bristles 38 can always maintain the ability to clean the transparent glass 13, avoiding the problem of reduced cleaning ability. At the same time, a hollow groove 310 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 2 at a position perpendicular to the comb plate 39. The dust generated when the comb plate 39 cleans the bristles 38 will fall naturally and can be discharged from the storage box 2 through the hollow groove 310, avoiding dust accumulation in the storage box 2.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the storage box 2 can be fixed on the waist or left arm through the buckle 21 according to the habits of the meter reader. After the storage box 2 is fixed, the infrared collector 1 is inserted into the storage box 2. It is convenient to take the infrared collector 1 at hand when in use, and it is convenient to take back the infrared collector 1 after collection. There is no need to put the infrared collector 1 into the bag, open the bag back and forth to take out and store, which provides certain convenience for the use of the infrared collector 1. At the same time, when the infrared collector 1 is placed in the storage box 2, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic strip 14 drives the metal connecting plate 34 to descend. The connecting plate 34 descends and drives the rotating rod 36 to descend through the sliders 33 on both sides, and at the same time compresses the spring 341. When the infrared collector 1 is completely placed in the storage box 2, the connecting plate 34 is brought to the bottom by the magnetic strip 14. When the spring 341 is compressed to the limit, the connecting plate 34 will be separated from the magnet strip 14. At this time, the connecting plate 34 drives the rotating rod 36 to rise through the slider 33. During the rising process of the rotating rod 36, the transmission gear 37 is engaged with the tooth pattern at the rear end of the tooth plate 32, and the rotating rod 36 will rotate. The self-rotation of the rotating rod 36 during the rising process will also drive the bristles 38 to rotate, thereby cleaning the transparent glass 13. A comb plate 39 is also installed on the top of the connecting plate 34. The bristles 38 will contact the comb plate 39 when rotating. The dust involved in the bristles 38 is cleaned through the comb plate 39. The cleaned dust naturally falls and is discharged through the hollow groove 310. This can also ensure the cleaning ability of the bristles 38 on the transparent glass 13, and avoid excessive dust involved in the bristles 38, which reduces its cleaning ability on the transparent glass 13.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
