[0020] 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 the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides an electric meter box, which includes a box body 1. Inside the box body 1, a miniature circuit breaker 2, an AC lightning arrester 3, a reclosing switch 4, a knife switch 5, a current transformer 6, a first copper bar 7, a second copper bar 8, a third copper bar 9, a fourth copper bar 21, a fifth copper bar 22, an electric meter body 19, a signal collector 20 and a junction box 18 are installed. There are four of each of the first copper bar 7, the second copper bar 8, the third copper bar 9, the fourth copper bar 21 and the fifth copper bar 22. One end of the four fourth copper bars 21 is connected to the reclosing switch 4, and the other ends of the four fourth copper bars 21 are connected to the first copper bar 7 through bolts and nuts. The four first copper bars 7 are stacked inside the box body 1, and adjacent two first copper bars 7 are separated by insulating columns 10. The other ends of the four first copper bars 7 are connected to the second copper bar 8 through bolts and nuts. One end of the second copper bar 8 is connected to one end of the third copper bar 9 through bolts and nuts. One end of the third copper bar 9 is connected to the fifth copper bar 22 through bolts and nuts. The other end of the fifth copper bar 22 is connected to the knife switch 5 through bolts and nuts. The third copper bar 9 passes through the current transformer 6. A bottom plate 23 is installed inside the box body 1, and the current transformer 6 is installed on the bottom plate 23.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 2-4 , the reclosing switch 4 is used for overvoltage protection and undervoltage protection. The current transformer 6 is used to measure the voltage and current of L1, L2 and L3 on the third copper bar 9, and send the intensity signals of the voltage and current to the signal collector 20, and finally send them to the background system through the signal collector 20, so as to facilitate the background monitoring of the voltage and current fluctuations. The backend transmission of electric energy in photovoltaic power generation is realized through the first copper bar 7, the second copper bar 8, the third copper bar 9, the fourth copper bar 21 and the fifth copper bar 22. It not only realizes the phase-by-phase transmission of electric energy, but also does not compress the internal space of the box body 1 due to the large thickness of the cable. During daily use, the third copper bar 9 can be disassembled from between the second copper bar 8 and the fifth copper bar 22 through bolts and nuts, so as to remove the current transformer 6 from the third copper bar 9, so as to facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the current transformer 6.

[0023] It should be noted that the four first copper bars 7 are separated by insulating columns 10, which reduces the occupied area in the vertical plane and further saves the internal space of the box body 1.

[0024] Inside the box body 1, a transparent protective plate 11 is fixedly installed by screws, and the transparent protective plate 11 covers the surface of the mutual inductor 6.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the setting of the transparent protective plate 11 can block the mutual inductor 6, so as to protect the mutual inductor 6, the third copper row 9 and the second copper row 8.

[0026] A handle 12 is installed on the side of the box body 1, and a wire passing hole 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the box body 1.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , the setting of the handle 12 facilitates the overall handling of the box body 1, and the setting of the wire passing hole 13 facilitates the external line to enter the box body 1 and be connected to the reclosing switch 4.

[0028] A first connecting seat 14 and a second connecting seat 15 are welded on the side of the box body 1. A round hole 16 is provided on the surface of the first connecting seat 14, and a notch 17 is provided on the surface of the second connecting seat 15.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , when installing the box body 1, first fix the bolts on the wall, then hang the first connecting seat 14 on the bolts through the notch 17, and then install the first connecting seat 14 on the wall by passing additional bolts through the round hole 16, thus realizing the overall installation of the box body 1.
