[0030] Modular, assemblable meter box housing, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the system includes a main control box 10 and several sets of meter sub-boxes 20 installed on both sides of the main control box 10. A wire storage box 40 is installed on the back of both the main control box 10 and each set of meter sub-boxes 20. The main control box 10, the meter sub-boxes 20, and adjacent meter sub-boxes 20 are connected by connecting bolts 50 and matching fixing nuts 60. Through holes 13, which are the same size as the connecting bolts 50 and are inserted into the inner walls of both sides of the main control box 10 and each set of meter sub-boxes 20, are provided. Inlet holes 22, which communicate with the inside of the wire storage boxes 40, are provided on the back of the main control box 10 and each set of meter sub-boxes 20. By setting up the main control box 10 and several sets of meter sub-boxes 20 installed on both sides of the main control box 10, centralized management and group control of the meters are achieved, improving the efficiency and flexibility of meter management. Both the main control box 10 and each meter sub-box 20 have wire storage boxes 40 installed on their backs, allowing for orderly wire storage, preventing tangled wires, and improving safety and aesthetics. The main control box 10 is connected to the meter sub-boxes 20 and adjacent meter sub-boxes 20 via connecting bolts 50 and matching fixing nuts 60, a simple and reliable connection method that facilitates installation and disassembly. The inner walls of both sides of the main control box 10 and each meter sub-box 20 have through holes 13 that align with the size of the connecting bolts 50, facilitating installation and improving efficiency. The back of the main control box 10 and each meter sub-box 20 has inlet holes 22 that connect to the inside of the wire storage boxes 40, facilitating wire introduction and organization, and improving wiring convenience.

[0031] Furthermore, a door 11 is hinged to one side edge of the main control box 10, and a sealed cover 30 is hinged to one side edge of each meter sub-box 20. Transparent observation windows 31 and indicator lights 32 are embedded on the outer walls of the door 11 and the sealed cover 30. The door 11 and the sealed cover 30 facilitate maintenance personnel to inspect and manage the equipment inside the main control box 10. The transparent observation window 31 allows maintenance personnel to intuitively view the operating status of the internal equipment without opening the door or cover, improving maintenance efficiency. The indicator lights 32 can indicate the operating status of the meters or the equipment inside the main control box, providing immediate feedback to maintenance personnel.

[0032] The outer wall of the enclosure door 11 is also equipped with an alarm light 12 to indicate abnormal power supply status. This light will sound an alarm when the power supply status is abnormal, reminding maintenance personnel to handle the situation in a timely manner and effectively preventing safety accidents caused by circuit faults.

[0033] Specifically, the outer walls of the main control box 10 and each set of meter sub-boxes 20 are equipped with anti-collision shells 21 to enhance the impact resistance of the boxes, effectively prevent damage caused by external collisions, and protect the safety of the internal equipment.

[0034] It is worth noting that the wire storage box 40 has wiring holes 41 on both the top and bottom sides for inserting wires, which facilitates the insertion and connection of wires.

[0035] In addition, the main control box 10 is connected to the meter sub-box 20 and adjacent meter sub-boxes 20 by at least two sets of connecting bolts 50 and matching fixing nuts 60. This not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the meter box, but also increases the connection strength and stability between the boxes by increasing the number of connection points, ensuring the safety and reliability of the meter box during long-term use.

[0036] The working principle of this modular, assemblable meter box housing:

[0037] First, the installer places the main control box 10 in a suitable location; the wire storage box 40 on the back of the main control box 10 can be used to store the wires related to the main control box.

[0038] Next, determine the number of meter sub-boxes 20 to be installed based on actual needs; place the meter sub-boxes 20 in suitable positions on both sides of the main control box 10, so that the wire storage box 40 on the back of the meter sub-boxes 20 is also in a state that facilitates the storage of wires.

[0039] Then, use connecting bolts 50 to pass through the through holes 13 on both sides of the inner wall of the main control box 10 and the meter sub-box 20 in sequence, and then use matching fixing nuts 60 to tighten them to achieve the connection between the main control box 10 and the meter sub-box 20; if there are multiple meter sub-boxes 20, use connecting bolts 50 and matching fixing nuts 60 to connect adjacent meter sub-boxes 20 in the same way.

[0040] Finally, the wires are introduced into the box through the inlet holes 22 on the back of the main control box 10 and the meter sub-box 20 for wiring installation.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
