Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric energy metering boxes, in particular to an intelligent electric energy metering box. Background Art

[0002] An energy meter box is typically a specialized device used to measure, record, and display energy consumption. Currently, energy meter boxes can be categorized into two main types: outdoor and indoor, depending on their location. To ensure proper ventilation and maintain the proper functioning of internal components, these boxes typically feature heat sinks.

[0003] However, the presence of the heat sink will cause moisture to enter the outdoor electricity meter box during rainy weather, eroding and corroding its internal electrical components, affecting the normal operation of the electricity meter box, and may even cause safety hazards such as short circuits. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an intelligent electric energy metering box, aiming to solve the problem in the related art that in rainy weather, rainwater and other moisture easily enter the box body and affect the normal operation of the electric energy metering box.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] An intelligent electricity metering box includes a box body, a plurality of first heat dissipation slots are provided on the box body, a waterproof mechanism is provided inside the box body, the waterproof mechanism includes a waterproof plate, a humidity sensor, and a driving member for controlling the movement of the waterproof plate, the waterproof plate is slidably connected to the inside of the box body, and the humidity sensor is electrically connected to the driving member.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving member is a driving motor.

[0008] Furthermore, a linkage structure is provided between the driving member and the waterproof board, and the linkage structure includes a linkage rack and a driving gear. The driving gear is rotatably connected to the inside of the box and is linked to the driving member. The linkage rack is fixedly connected to the waterproof board and is meshed with the driving gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the waterproof plate is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves; when the waterproof plate blocks each first heat dissipation groove, each connecting groove is spaced apart from each first heat dissipation groove; when the waterproof plate does not block the first heat dissipation groove, each connecting groove corresponds to each first heat dissipation groove one by one.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the first heat dissipation slots is provided with a water shield at one end away from the waterproof plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a water retaining support ring and a plurality of second heat dissipation grooves are provided at the bottom of the box body, and each of the second heat dissipation grooves is located in the inner ring of the water retaining support ring.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of third heat dissipation slots are provided on the water retaining support ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the box body is provided with fixed supports for supporting the waterproof board.

[0014] The working principle and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0015] The technical solution of the utility model adopts a method of arranging a waterproof mechanism inside the box body to prevent rainwater from entering the box body along the first heat dissipation groove provided on the box body during rainy weather and affecting the normal operation of the electric energy metering box.

[0016] Specifically, the waterproof mechanism in this embodiment mainly includes a waterproof plate, a humidity sensor, and a driving member.

[0026] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes an intelligent electricity meter box, which mainly includes a box body 1 and several electrical components. The specific model and type of each electrical component should be determined according to the actual use and usage of this embodiment, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0030] The box body 1 is provided with a plurality of first heat dissipation slots 11 so that air inside and outside the box body 1 can be exchanged with each other, thereby achieving heat dissipation inside the box body 1 and ensuring the normal operation of this embodiment.

[0031] At the same time, a waterproof mechanism 2 is provided inside the box body 1. The waterproof mechanism 2 mainly includes a waterproof plate 21, a humidity sensor 22, and a driving member 23 for controlling the movement of the waterproof plate 21. Correspondingly, the waterproof plate 21 is slidably connected to the inside of the box body 1, and the humidity sensor 22 is electrically connected to the driving member 23. That is, the humidity sensor 22 can detect the characteristics of the ambient humidity, so as to judge whether it is raining according to the change of the ambient humidity in this embodiment. When the humidity sensor 22 detects rain (the ambient humidity rises), the control module of the humidity sensor 22 will control its signal transmission module to send a telecommunication signal to the control module of the driving member 23 to start the driving member 23. signal, thereby controlling the waterproof plate 21 to slide and shield the first heat dissipation slots 11; and when the humidity sensor 22 detects that the ambient humidity returns to a normal value (the normal humidity threshold preset by the staff, or the rain stops), the control module of the humidity sensor 22 controls its signal transmission module to send an electrical signal to the control module of the driving member 23 to reset the driving member 23, thereby controlling the waterproof plate 21 to slide and cancel the shielding of the first heat dissipation slots 11, thereby realizing the intelligent operation of the waterproof mechanism 2. With the help of the waterproof mechanism 2, rainwater is prevented from entering the interior of the box body 1 along the first heat dissipation slots 11 when it rains, further improving the stability of the operation of this embodiment.

[0032] How the humidity sensor 22 transmits and transfers the control signal (electrical signal) to the driving member 23 should be determined according to the model of the humidity sensor 22 actually selected and the control program adopted, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0033] The driving member 23 is a driving motor. The driving motor in this embodiment is preferably a telescopic motor, that is, the driving member 23 drives the waterproof plate 21 to move in a telescopic manner. The structure is direct and reliable, and effectively reduces mechanical failure points (such as jamming and wear).

[0034] A fixed support bar 16 is provided in the box body 1. The existence of the fixed support bar 16 can provide support and installation points for the driving members 23 in this embodiment that are not in contact with the bottom of the box body 1, ensuring that each driving member 23 in this embodiment can stably provide driving force.

[0035] The waterproof plate 21 is provided with a number of connecting grooves 211. The position of each connecting groove 211 changes as the waterproof plate 21 is moved by the driving member 23. Accordingly, when the waterproof plate 21 blocks each first heat dissipation slot 11, each connecting groove 211 is spaced apart from each first heat dissipation slot 11. When the waterproof plate 21 does not block each first heat dissipation slot 11, each connecting groove 211 corresponds one-to-one with each first heat dissipation slot 11. Thus, the provision of each connecting groove 211 effectively reduces the driving stroke of the driving member 23. This reduces the travel distance required when the waterproof plate 21 is no longer blocking each first heat dissipation slot 11 or when the waterproof plate 21 needs to block each first heat dissipation slot 11. This effectively reduces the driving load on the driving member 23 and thus extends the service life of the driving member 23.

[0036] At the same time, each first heat dissipation slot 11 is provided with a water shield 12 at one end away from the waterproof plate 21. That is, with the presence of each water shield 12, it acts as a physical barrier to external rainwater and other moisture, further reducing the possibility of rainwater entering each first heat dissipation slot 11.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Different from Example 1, Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the driving motor (driving member 23) in this embodiment is a rotating motor. Correspondingly, a linkage structure 3 is provided between the driving member 23 and the waterproof board 21. The linkage structure 3 includes a linkage rack 31 and a driving gear 32. The driving gear 32 is rotatably connected to the inside of the box body 1 and is linked to the driving member 23. The linkage rack 31 is fixedly connected to the waterproof board 21 and meshes with the driving gear 32. Preferably, the linkage rack 31 and the waterproof board 21 are integrally formed to ensure the connection strength and connection reliability between the two.

[0039] That is, the linkage structure 3 in this embodiment is a gear rack transmission structure. With the help of the gear rack transmission structure, the driving member 23 and the waterproof plate 21 can be staggered; the driving member 23 does not need to be in the moving path of the waterproof plate 21. In this way, the existence of the driving member 23 will not interfere with the number of first heat dissipation slots 11, so that this embodiment can open more first heat dissipation slots 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of this embodiment.

[0040] At the same time, the meshing relationship between the drive gear 32 and the linkage rack 31 prevents the linkage rack 31 from moving when the drive gear 32 is used to lift the linkage rack 31 (and the waterproofing plate 21) without the drive gear 32 rotating, thereby achieving a self-locking effect for the waterproofing plate 21. Accordingly, the drive motor in this embodiment is preferably a stepper motor or other self-locking motor to ensure the positional stability of the waterproofing plate 21 after movement.

[0041] Preferably, the waterproof plate 21 is lifted by the driving gear 32 to cover the first heat dissipation slots 11. Another difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the fixed support bar 16 in this embodiment serves as a support for the waterproof plate 21 when the first heat dissipation slots 11 are not covered, effectively avoiding relying solely on the driving gear 32 to fix the position of the waterproof plate 21, and effectively improving the position stability of the waterproof plate 21.

[0042] Correspondingly, a mounting seat for mounting the driving member 23 should be provided inside the box body 1 to ensure that the driving member 23 can stably provide driving force.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] On the basis of Example 1 or Example 2, Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the box body 1 is provided with a water-retaining support ring 13 and several second heat dissipation grooves 14. Each second heat dissipation groove 14 is located in the inner ring of the water-retaining support ring 13, that is, each second heat dissipation groove 14 is vertically opened at the bottom of the box body 1. The existence of the water-retaining support ring 13 can raise the bottom horizontal height of the box body 1, so that when each first heat dissipation groove 11 is blocked, the air inside the box body 1 can be heat exchanged through each second heat dissipation groove 14, and due to the influence of gravity, external rainwater is difficult to enter the interior of the box body 1 along each second heat dissipation groove 14, effectively ensuring the waterproof performance of each second heat dissipation groove 14.

[0045] At the same time, a number of third heat dissipation grooves 15 are provided on the water retaining support ring 13. The opening of each third heat dissipation groove 15 allows the air in the inner and outer rings of the water retaining support ring 13 to flow between each other. Correspondingly, it is convenient to discharge the heat from the inside of the box body 1 and dissipate it from the inner ring of the water retaining support ring 13, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of this embodiment.

[0046] If necessary, the third heat dissipation slot 15 and the second heat dissipation slot 14 can also be used as wiring holes for electrical components inside the box 1 .

[0047] The same or similar numbers in the drawings of this embodiment correspond to the same or similar parts; in the description of this application, it should be understood that if the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicate an orientation or position relationship, they are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation.
