[0019] The present application is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a power meter with a protective function includes a power meter body 1, and a display screen, control buttons and a connector arranged on the power meter body 1. The top of the power meter body 1 is provided with a protective cover 2 located outside the display screen, the outside of the power meter body 1 is provided with a protective shell 9 located at the bottom of the protective cover 2, and the protective shell 9 is covered on the outside of the control button. Both side walls of the protective cover 2 are provided with connecting mechanisms connected to the protective shell 9. The connecting mechanism includes a movable cavity 14 opened in the side wall of the protective cover 2, a slide 18 slidably connected to the movable cavity 14, a connecting plate 10 installed at the bottom of the slide 18, and a fixing mechanism installed on the outside of the protective cover 2 for fixing the connecting plate 10, the bottom of the connecting plate 10 extends to the outside of the protective cover 2 and is fixedly connected to the top of the protective shell 9, the fixing mechanism includes a sleeve 7 installed on one side of the protective cover 2, a slider 12 slidably connected in the sleeve 7, and a slider installed on one side of the slider 12 and extending into the movable cavity 14 The fixing plate 13 and the other side of the slider 12 are equipped with a pull rod 16 extending to the outside of the sleeve 7, and the outer sleeve of the pull rod 16 is provided with a spring 15 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 7 and one side of the slider 12. A fixing groove 19 is provided on one side of the slide plate 18 for use with the fixing plate 13, and the bottom of the fixing plate 13 is provided with an inclination angle for use with the slide plate 18. A pull plate 17 is installed at one end of the pull rod 16 located outside the sleeve 7. Both sides of the protective cover 2 are threadedly connected with bolts 8 extending to the inside of the protective cover 2. The number of bolts 8 on one side of the protective cover 2 is greater than 1. A mounting hole 11 for use with the bolt 8 is provided on the outside of the power meter body 1, and a mounting port is provided on the side of the protective cover 2 on which a transparent glass 3 is installed. The data displayed on the display screen can be observed through the provided transparent glass 3. The display screen is covered by the protective cover 2 to protect the display screen, which can protect the optical power meter body 1 from being easily broken or scratched.

[0022] It should be noted that, when in use, the protective cover 2 can be placed on the top of the power meter body 1. At this time, the protective cover 2 will cover the display screen, and the bolt 8 will be screwed into the mounting hole 11 to fix the protective cover 2. After the protective cover 2 is fixed, the protective shell 9 will cover the outside of the control button. When the control button needs to be operated, the pull plate 17 can be pulled, and the pull rod 16 will pull the slider 12 to slide inside the sleeve 7. The spring 15 will undergo elastic deformation, and the fixed plate 13 will be separated from the fixed groove 19 under the drive of the slider 12. At this time, pulling the protective shell 2 downward can expose the control button to the outside of the protective shell 9. When the operation is completed, the protective shell 9 can be pushed upward. At this time, the connecting plate 10 will push the slide plate 18 to slide upward inside the movable cavity 14. The slide plate 18 will move along the inclination angle of the fixed plate 13, pushing the fixed plate 13 to move toward the inside of the sleeve 7. When the fixing groove 19 corresponds to the position of the fixing plate 13, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 15, the fixing plate 13 will be pushed into the fixing groove 19, and the slide plate 18 will be fixed, so that the protective shell 9 is covered on the outside of the control button to block the control button and prevent the inspector and other operators from touching the control button, which not only improves the accuracy of the test results but also reduces the situation of test interruption.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a threaded hole 4 is provided on the top of the protective cover 2 and the cover is arranged on the outside of the connecting head, a connecting rope 5 is installed on the top of the protective cover 2, and a sealing tube 6 is installed at one end of the connecting rope 5 for use with the threaded hole 4, and a thread is provided on the outside of the sealing tube 6 for use with the threaded hole 4.

[0025] A further improved feature of this embodiment is that when the power meter body 1 is not needed, the sealing cylinder 6 can be screwed into the threaded hole 4, and the connector cover can be placed in the sealing cylinder 6 to protect the connector. This not only reduces the dust inside the connector, but also prevents the connector from being hit when the power meter body 1 accidentally falls, thereby extending the service life of the power meter body 1.

[0026] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such variations and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
