Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric meter, in particular to a three-phase electric meter with a positioning shielding cover. Background Art
[0002] The three-phase electricity meter is suitable for measuring three-phase four-wire AC active electrical energy with a rated frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz. It is designed for fixed installation indoors and suitable for an environment with air that does not contain corrosive gases and avoids the influence of dust, mold, smoke, condensation, insects, etc. Choose a dry and ventilated place. The base plate of the electricity meter should be placed on a solid, fire-resistant wall that is not easily affected by moisture and vibration. The recommended installation height of the electricity meter is about 1.8m. After installation, the electricity meter should be vertical and not tilted.
[0003] The three-phase electricity meter is provided with several interfaces for wiring at the bottom. At the same time, a shield is provided at the bottom of the three-phase electricity meter to cover the interface position. However, the shield needs to be removed when wiring. The existing shield is usually connected by plugging and screwing in bolts. This structure requires a screwdriver to be carried when disassembling. Even if it only requires simple operation, it needs to be removed with a screwdriver, and it may be accidentally lost after removing the bolts, which is quite troublesome. Some electricity meters also use a hinged form to install the shield, but the hinged shield will fall down due to its weight after it is opened, affecting the operation. It needs to be held up all the time, which is not practical. Utility Model Content
[0004] In summary, in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a three-phase electric meter with an articulated shielding cover and positioning function.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a three-phase electricity meter with a positioning shielding cover, comprising an electricity meter body and a shielding cover, wherein a plurality of connection ports are provided at the bottom of the electricity meter body, the connection ports are located inside the shielding cover, a hinged plate is provided on each side of the top of the shielding cover, the shielding cover is hinged to the electricity meter body by means of the hinged plate, the end of the hinged plate facing the electricity meter body is semicircular, the position of the electricity meter body corresponding to the hinged plate is provided with a plunger groove arranged toward the outer wall of the hinged plate, a plunger spring is provided in the plunger groove, and a plurality of positioning grooves adapted to the plunger spring are provided on the outer wall of the hinged plate.
[0006] With this arrangement, the plunger spring will push toward the hinge plate in the plunger groove and press into the positioning groove on the hinge plate to stabilize the shielding cover at the current angle. When the shielding cover needs to be operated, the shielding cover is swung. During the swinging process, the plunger spring in the plunger groove will be squeezed back into the plunger groove, and will pop out again when the other positioning groove moves to the position of the plunger groove. The above process will be repeated by continuing to swing. When the shielding cover swings to the appropriate angle, it stops, and the plunger spring will stabilize the shielding cover at the current angle. The user can operate without holding it and can press it back after the operation is completed. The operation is convenient, and the use of plunger springs is not as easy to wear as interference fit, and is more durable.
[0007] Furthermore, the positions of the two hinged plates on the main body of the electric meter are respectively provided with a hinge groove adapted thereto, and the plunger groove is located in the hinge groove.
[0008] With such arrangement, the hinge plate will move in the hinge slot and will not be exposed outside the main body of the electric meter, thereby reducing the overall volume and making it easier to arrange the hinge slot.
[0009] Furthermore, a side plate is provided at each end of the hinge plate, and the outer diameter of the side plate is not less than the outer diameter of the main body of the hinge plate.
[0010] Such an arrangement can prevent the positioning groove from being exposed to the outside and also prevent the positioning groove from contacting the inner wall of the hinge groove during rotation, thereby being more stable.
[0011] Furthermore, the axis of the plunger slot is installed perpendicular to the wall.
[0012] With this arrangement, the plunger spring will be completely covered and will not be exposed, reducing the possibility of dust intrusion.
[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of the positioning grooves are evenly distributed within a range of a 90-degree angle on the hinge plate.
[0014] In this arrangement, the positioning groove is only provided on the surface of the hinge plate facing the hinge groove, and the positioning groove is not exposed to the outside, which is more beautiful.
[0015] Furthermore, the two hinge grooves are located at the outermost ends on both sides of the electricity meter body.
[0016] In this arrangement, the hinge slot is arranged at the outermost end and penetrates the side wall of the electric meter body, which makes installation more convenient.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a hinge shaft, and there are two hinge shafts. The two hinge shafts respectively pass through one hinge plate and are hinged to the electricity meter body.
[0018] With this arrangement, the hinge shaft only exists at the hinge plate, and there is no hinge shaft in the middle of the meter body, which will not affect the installation of internal parts. The hinge shaft can be connected to the meter body or the shielding cover by interference fit.
[0019] Furthermore, the plunger slot and the plunger spring are both provided with one, and the positioning slot is provided on the hinge plate on a side corresponding to the plunger slot.
[0020] With this arrangement, the plunger spring and the positioning groove are only provided on one side, which saves costs and does not require consideration of the positioning accuracy on both sides. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
