[0040] The device in this solution is mainly used to read data from the electricity meter. When the electricity meter fails, is damaged, or loses power and cannot be used, it is impossible to read the data in the electricity meter. At this time, the electricity meter information data copy controller needs to be connected to the emergency data interface on the electricity meter to read the internal data and work logs. The emergency data interface is in the shape of an inwardly concave cylinder. When the electricity meter information data copy controller is inserted into the interface, the probes on the copy controller will closely abut against multiple contacts on the interface. At this time, manual support is required. If there is any shaking, the connection will be interrupted, resulting in failure to read the data and even damage to the data.

[0041] Based on this, it can improve the problem in the related technology that when the copy controller shakes, the contact connection will be interrupted, resulting in failure to read the data and thus causing inconvenience in use.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , an electricity meter information data copy controller, including a housing 1. The inside of the housing 1 is hollow, and a system module 10 is arranged inside the housing 1. A fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to the top end of the housing 1. A limiting component 5 is arranged at the outer end of the fixing block 7. A plurality of inner support components 11 are arranged inside the limiting component 5. And a plurality of connection probes 6 are arranged at the top end of the limiting component 5. The limiting component 5 includes an abutting sleeve 51, and the abutting sleeve 51 is made of rubber material. The inner support component 11 includes an abutting block 111, and the abutting block 111 is arc-shaped and abuts against the abutting sleeve 51.

[0043] A lid 2 is detachably connected to the top end of the fixing block 7. Magnets that match each other are arranged at the outer end of the fixing block 7 and the bottom end of the lid 2.

[0044] A plurality of anti-slip grooves 3 are formed at the outer end of the housing 1. An interface 4 is arranged at the bottom end of the housing 1. The system module 10 includes a storage module, a data reading module, and a power management module.

[0045] On the outer end of the outer shell 1 in this solution, there are multiple anti-slip grooves 3, enabling users to have a better grip when using it to prevent slipping. At the tail of the outer shell 1, there is an interface 4, which can be a USB or Type-C interface. By connecting the device to a computer through the interface 4, the internal data can be read out and the data on the electricity meter can be transferred to the computer. At the top of the outer shell 1, there is a fixing block 7, which is mainly used to connect the lid 2. Magnets with opposite polarities are provided on the fixing block 7 and the lid 2. Through magnetic attraction, the lid 2 can be conveniently adsorbed and installed on the fixing block 7. Inside the outer shell 1, there is also a system module 10, which includes a storage module, a data reading module, and a power management module. The data reading module communicates with the electricity meter to read data such as current, voltage, power, etc. of the electricity meter and stores them in the storage module for subsequent transfer to the computer through the interface 4. The power management module realizes power management functions, including power supply, battery management, and charging, etc., to ensure that the data collector has a stable power supply.

[0046] On the outer end of the fixing block 7, there is also a limit component 5 installed. The abutting sleeve 51 is oval in shape and made of rubber material. When the device is inserted into the interface on the electricity meter, the larger part in the middle of the abutting sleeve 51 will be fixed by friction. At the same time, there are multiple abutting blocks 111 on the inner side of the abutting sleeve 51, which are pushed outwards by the acting force of the telescopic spring 116, so that the abutting sleeve 51 can closely abut against the inner wall of the interface, making it not easy to shake and reducing the probability of disconnection of the connection with the interface contacts.

[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the limit component 5 includes a mounting block 52. The bottom end of the mounting block 52 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 7, and the top end of the mounting block 52 is fixedly connected to a connecting seat 53.

[0048] A plurality of connection probes 6 are all fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting seat 53. The plurality of connection probes 6 are distributed in a ring, and the number of connection probes 6 is set to 8. An indicating needle 9 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting seat 53, and an abutting column 8 is also fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting seat 53.

[0049] The abutting sleeve 51 mentioned above is a surrounding outside the mounting block 52. The two ends are respectively connected to the connecting seat 53 fixed to the top of the mounting block 52 and the fixing block 7. Four inner support components 11 are arranged on the surrounding outside of the mounting block 52. The connecting seat 53 is mainly used to mount a plurality of connecting probes 6. The number of the connecting probes 6 is eight, which are annularly distributed on the top of the connecting seat 53. Among them, an indicating needle 9 is fixed in the middle of the eight connecting probes 6. The diameter of the indicating needle 9 is larger than that of the connecting probe 6 and it does not have a communication function. There are also eight contacts arranged on the data interface of the electricity meter. There is a blank space between the eight contacts. The indicating needle 9 matches the blank space. When the user inserts it, the indicating needle 9 can be aligned with the blank space so that its contacts can correspond to the connecting probes 6 one by one. The abutting post 8 fixed on the connecting seat 53 is used to abut against the center of the interface, playing a role in positioning and increasing stability.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the inner support component 11 further includes a second connecting block 115 and a first connecting block 114. The second connecting block 115 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the abutting block 111. The first connecting block 114 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the mounting block 52. A telescopic spring 116 is fixedly connected between the first connecting block 114 and the second connecting block 115.

[0051] Two connecting rods 112 are rotatably connected to the outer end of the abutting block 111. Sliders 113 are rotatably connected to one ends of the two connecting rods 112 away from the abutting block 111. A plurality of chutes adapted to the sliders 113 are opened at the outer end of the mounting block 52. The sliders 113 are slidably connected to the chutes.

[0052] The inner support component 11 in this solution is mainly used to support the abutting sleeve 51 outward, push the abutting sleeve 51 outward, so that the outer end of the abutting sleeve 51 can closely abut against the inner wall of the interface. The abutting block 111 is arranged in an arc shape and can be adapted to the arc-shaped inner wall of the abutting sleeve 51. Two connecting rods 112 are rotatably connected to the outer end of the abutting block 111. The other ends of the two connecting rods 112 are rotatably connected to sliders 113. The sliders 113 are slidably connected to the chutes opened on the mounting block 52. At the same time, a second connecting block 115 and a first connecting block 114 are respectively fixed to the outer ends of the abutting block 111 and the mounting block 52. A telescopic spring 116 is fixed between the second connecting block 115 and the first connecting block 114. When the device is inserted into the interface, the abutting sleeve 51 will abut against the inner wall of the interface. At this time, through the acting force of the telescopic spring 116, the abutting block 111 can push the abutting sleeve 51 outward from the inside, making the abutting sleeve 51 more closely abut against the inner wall of the interface, so that the connection stability can be improved without the user holding it by hand.

[0053] Working principle: When using this device, only need to insert the limit component 5 into the interface on the electricity meter. At the same time, when the user inserts it, the indicating needle 9 needs to be aligned with the blank on the interface so that its contacts can correspond to the connection probes 6 one by one. At this time, the system module 10 can read and store the data inside the electricity meter for subsequent transfer to the computer through the interface 4. When the device is inserted into the interface, the abutting sleeve 51 will abut against the inner wall of the interface. Due to the large friction of its rubber material and the acting force of the telescopic spring 116, the abutting block 111 can push it outward from the inside of the abutting sleeve 51, making the abutting sleeve 51 abut more closely against the inner wall of the interface, improving the connection stability.

[0054] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present utility model; however, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its improved concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
