[0027] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a three-phase four-wire electronic energy meter, including an adapter 1 and an energy meter 2. The adapter 1 is provided with an adapter primary current input jack 11, an adapter primary current output jack 12, and an adapter neutral line N input jack 13. The energy meter 2 is provided with an energy meter primary current input pin 21, an energy meter primary current output pin 22, and an energy meter neutral line N input pin 23. The primary current input pin 21 of the energy meter is plugged into the primary current input jack 11 of the adapter, the primary current output pin 22 of the energy meter is plugged into the primary current output jack 12 of the adapter, and the neutral line N input jack 23 of the energy meter is plugged into the neutral line N input jack 13 of the adapter.

[0029] A leakage protector 6 is provided on the side of the electric energy meter 2 , and a fault indicator light 7 and an alarm 10 are provided on the leakage protector 6 . The leakage display 6 , the fault indicator light 7 and the alarm 10 are connected in series with the electric energy meter 2 respectively.

[0030] It should be noted that the elementary current input pin 21 of the electric energy meter is plugged into the elementary current input jack 11 of the adapter, the elementary current output pin 22 of the electric energy meter is plugged into the elementary current output jack 12 of the adapter, and the neutral line N input jack 23 of the electric energy meter is plugged into the neutral line N input jack 13 of the adapter. When installing the electric energy meter 2, insert the pins on the electric energy meter 2 into the corresponding jacks on the upper box of the adapter 1. When the electric energy meter 2 needs to be inspected and replaced, just unplug the pins of the electric energy meter 2 from the jacks of the adapter 1. There is no need to turn off the power, and it will not affect the use of other electrical appliances. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate. A leakage protector 6 is provided, and a fault indicator light 7 and an alarm 10 are provided on the leakage protector 6. The fault indicator light 7 and the alarm 10 are respectively connected in series with the leakage protector 6. The fault indicator light 7 is green under normal power-on conditions. When the energy meter 2 leaks electricity, the leakage protector 6 overheats and trips, the fault indicator light 7 changes from green to red, and the alarm 10 sounds an alarm, so that maintenance personnel can find the leakage of the energy meter 2 in time and repair the energy meter 2 in time. When the energy meter 2 needs to be replaced, due to the reason of the pins of the energy meter 2 and the sockets of the adapter box 1, the energy meter 2 can be repaired and replaced without turning off the power.

[0031] As shown in the figure, the adapter 1 is provided with a first sealing screw 8 , and the electric energy meter 2 is provided with a second sealing screw 9 . The electric energy meter 2 is fixed to the first sealing screw 8 via the second sealing screw 9 .

[0032] It should be noted that the first sealing screw 8 and the second sealing screw 9 can fix and seal the energy meter 2 on the adapter 1, thereby fixing the energy meter 2 and preventing the energy meter 2 from falling off the adapter 1 due to long-term use.

[0033] As shown in the figure, a nameplate 4 is provided on the surface of the electric energy meter 2, and a detachable liquid crystal display window 3 is provided on the nameplate 4.

[0034] It should be noted that the LCD display window 3 can be used to observe the operating conditions of the internal components of the electricity meter 2. A detachable LCD display window 3 is set on the nameplate 4. The more common practice on the market is to fix the nameplate on the LCD display window by screws or hot melt methods. In the utility model, by setting a detachable LCD window 3, the damage to the nameplate 4 caused by screws or hot melt connection methods can be reduced, the production process is simplified, and the production cost is reduced.

[0035] As shown in the figure, the nameplate 4 includes a nameplate body 41, a limiting piece 42 and a plurality of snap-in pieces 43. The limiting piece 42 is arranged at the left and right edges of the nameplate body 41, and the snap-in pieces 43 are arranged at the upper and lower edges of the nameplate body 41.

[0036] It should be noted that the limiting piece 42 and the engaging piece 43 on the edge of the nameplate 4 are used for installation and fixation with the liquid crystal display window 3 .

[0037] As shown in the figure, end buckles 31 are provided at the left and right edges of the LCD display window 3, and multiple side buckles 32 are provided at the upper and lower edges of the LCD display window 3. The end buckles 31 cooperate with the limiting pieces 42, and the side buckles 32 cooperate with the snap-on pieces 43.

[0038] It should be noted that when installing the LCD window 3 on the nameplate 4, the nameplate 4 is squeezed from both ends toward the center along its length, causing it to bend and deform into an arc shape. Utilizing the elasticity of the nameplate 4, the engaging piece 43 is snapped into the side buckle 32, while the limiting piece 42 is snapped into the end buckle 31. At this point, the nameplate 4 returns to its original shape and fits the surface of the LCD window 3. When removing the nameplate 4, the nameplate 4 is similarly squeezed from both ends toward the center along its length, causing it to bend and deform, causing the limiting piece 42 to exit from the end buckle 31 and the engaging piece 43 to exit from the engaging piece 43. Removal is then completed.

[0039] As shown in the figure, a dial 5 is also provided on the liquid crystal display window 3 .

[0040] It should be noted that the dial 5 is used to observe the conditions of the various components inside the electric energy meter 2 .

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: first, the adapter 1 is installed in the electricity meter box. When installing the electricity meter 2, the pins on the electricity meter 2 are inserted into the corresponding jacks on the adapter 1, and then the pins are pulled down firmly to make sure they are in place. The original connection piece of the adapter 1 is pushed open, and the electricity meter 2 is connected to the power grid to measure the user's electricity consumption. The electricity meter 2 is fixed and sealed to the adapter 1 with the second sealing screw 9. When the electricity meter 2 leaks electricity during operation, the leakage protector 6 overheats and trips, the fault indicator light 7 changes from green to red, and the alarm 10 sounds an alarm, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to promptly detect the leakage of the electricity meter 2 and to promptly repair the electricity meter 2. When installing the liquid crystal display window 3 on the nameplate 4, the nameplate 4 is squeezed from both ends toward the middle along the length direction of the nameplate 4 to bend and deform to form an arc shape. The elasticity of the nameplate 4 itself is used to snap the connecting piece 43 into the side buckle 32, and the limiting piece 42 is snapped into the end buckle 31. When disassembling, the nameplate 4 is squeezed from both ends toward the middle along the length direction of the nameplate 4 to bend and deform, so that the limiting piece 42 withdraws from the end buckle 31 and the connecting piece 43 withdraws from the connecting piece 43.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
