A heat conducting silica gel sleeve is sleeved on the top of the temperature measuring resistor, and the temperature measuring resistor is welded on a PCB circuit board. When the temperature measuring resistor is adopted, holes or grooves need to be preset on the wiring terminal, which greatly limits the installation height dimension and the external dimension of the wiring terminal; when the plug-in welding type is used for connecting with the PCB circuit board, manual participation is required; in actual production applications, when the number of terminals to be measured is large, the temperature measuring resistor and the wiring terminal need to be manually corrected and aligned, which affects the efficiency and reliability; when the temperature measuring resistor and the wiring terminal are matched, the whole matching gap needs to be filled after the heat conducting silica gel sleeve is extruded and deformed. In the actual batch process, inconsistent filling problems lead to poor consistency.

[0003] For example, there is a Chinese patent with the publication number of CN220084207U, which relates to a temperature measuring device for an electric meter wiring terminal, including a wiring terminal connection seat, a wiring terminal connection conducting component connected to the wiring terminal on the wiring terminal connection seat, and a PCB circuit board.

It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only the best embodiments of the present utility model, which are only used to explain the present utility model and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] As the grid access node at the user end, while the intelligent electricity meter realizes the fee control problem, it inevitably generates wiring joints, and the connection quality is related to the user's overloading use situation, installation quality, aging situation, etc. If poor contact occurs, it may cause the heating of the wiring terminal and even cause a fire. Setting a wiring terminal temperature measurement structure in the electricity meter can effectively avoid the above problems.

A heat conduction silicone sleeve is sleeved on the top of the temperature measurement resistor, and the temperature measurement resistor is welded on the PCB circuit board.

[0040] First of all, when a temperature measurement resistor is used in the wiring terminal, holes or grooves need to be preset in the wiring terminal, which greatly limits the installation height dimension and the external dimension of the wiring terminal.

[0041] Secondly, when connecting to the PCB circuit board, the plug-in welding method is used, which requires manual participation.

[0042] Thirdly, in actual production applications, when the number of terminals to be temperature measured is large, the temperature measurement resistor needs to be manually corrected and aligned with the wiring terminal, which affects the efficiency and reliability;

[0043] Moreover, the temperature measurement resistor needs to be filled with the entire mating gap after being extruded and deformed by the heat conduction silicone sleeve when mating with the wiring terminal. In the actual batch process, there is a problem of inconsistent filling, resulting in poor consistency. There are deficiencies in the manufacturability and reliability design of the entire design.
