Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart meter technology, specifically to a smart meter with remote communication function. Background Technology

[0002] An electricity meter, or simply a meter, is an instrument used to measure electrical energy, such as measuring the current in a circuit. To address issues related to tiered electricity pricing and remote meter reading, semi-intelligent and intelligent electricity meters have emerged in recent years, offering advantages such as high accuracy and low power consumption.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN221378078U discloses an electricity meter with wireless transmission function, relating to the field of electricity meter technology. In use, the meter body transmits the electricity consumption data to a processor, which then uses a wireless communication module to transmit signals to the user's mobile phone control terminal for wireless communication, allowing the user to easily monitor electricity consumption in real time. When the user leaves home, the mobile phone control terminal sends a wireless trip signal to the wireless communication module and then to the processor. The processor controls the electromagnet to be energized. When the electromagnet is energized, the second contact is attracted towards the electromagnet, causing the first and second contacts to quickly separate, thus achieving power cut-off for the remote control device and ensuring electrical safety. Furthermore, the switch is electrically connected to the processor and is popped up or squeezed as the isolation cover opens and closes. This interaction prevents unauthorized personnel from tightening screws and connecting other cables without the user's knowledge, while also ensuring the safety of normal operation.

[0004] The aforementioned electricity meters with wireless transmission function still have some problems in use. They cannot secure the cables. If the cables become loose or fall off due to external pulling or other reasons, an electrical accident is very likely to occur. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3This embodiment provides a smart meter with remote communication function, including a meter body 100. A terminal block 102 is provided at the bottom of the meter body 100. The terminal block 102 is electrically connected to the meter body 100 through a wire. A fixing component for fixing the power cord is installed at the bottom of the terminal block 102 and at a position corresponding to each set of terminals of the terminal block 102. A remote communication module 103 is provided inside the meter body 100. The remote communication module 103 is a 4G wireless communication module es205-b4. The signal input terminal of the remote communication module 103 is electrically connected to the signal output terminal of the meter body 100 through a wire. The remote communication module 103 communicates with the user's mobile phone control terminal.

[0024] The remote communication module 103 can also be at least one of a wireless network card, a LoRa communication module, an NB-IoT communication module, or a 5G communication module. The meter body 100 has a built-in controller, which can be a single-chip microcomputer of model STC89C51. The remote communication module 103 communicates with the built-in controller of the meter body 100.

[0025] The meter body 100 employs a high-precision metering chip and advanced algorithms to ensure the accuracy and reliability of electricity metering. The remote communication module used in this embodiment is a 4G wireless communication module ES205-B4, which features high communication speed, wide coverage, and high real-time performance, ensuring stable data transmission between the smart meter and a remote server or user's mobile control terminal.

[0026] The smart meter body 100 collects electricity data in real time through its internal metering and data processing system.

[0027] The data is transmitted to the remote communication module 103 through the signal output terminal of the meter body 100.

[0028] The remote communication module 103 uses a 4G wireless network to send power data to a remote server or the user's mobile control terminal.

[0029] Users can view and manage their electricity usage in real time through a mobile app or web interface, while power supply companies can also monitor and manage the power grid's operational status through remote data.

[0030] It integrates data processing and storage units, enabling it to process and store electrical energy data in real time.

[0031] The fixing component includes a C-shaped frame 200 located below each set of terminals 102. A U-shaped block 201 is detachably snapped onto the opening of the C-shaped frame 200 via a connector. A limiting component, which cooperates with the C-shaped frame 200 to limit the movement of the U-shaped block 201, is located on its top. Connecting arms 203 are fixedly connected to both sides of the C-shaped frame 200. Fixing components for connecting the connecting arms 203 are located at the bottom of the terminal 102 and at positions corresponding to them. This fixing component effectively secures the power cord, preventing it from loosening or falling off due to external pulling or vibration, thus reducing the probability of power failures caused by poor contact and improving electrical safety. Through the remote communication module 103, users can monitor meter data in real time via their mobile phones, understand their electricity usage at any time, and rationally plan their electricity consumption for intelligent management. Furthermore, users can receive timely notifications in case of abnormal electricity usage, allowing them to take appropriate measures to avoid greater losses.

[0032] The U-shaped block 201 is formed by one or more of nylon, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and thermoplastic elastomers combined together.

[0033] Furthermore, the connector includes a U-shaped block 201 with several sets of linearly arranged fixing teeth 207 on both sides of its surface, and the inner walls of the C-shaped frame 200 with corresponding tooth grooves 206 on both sides of its inner wall. The fixing teeth 207 are engaged with the inner cavity of the tooth grooves 206. By using the connector, the fixing teeth 207 on both sides of the U-shaped block are engaged with the tooth grooves 206 on both sides of the inner wall of the C-shaped frame, which facilitates installation and disassembly. At the same time, the tightness of the fixation can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure a firm fixation of the power cord, and it can fix power cords of different diameters.

[0034] Furthermore, the limiting components include locking blocks 301 positioned on the upper sides of the C-frame 200. Each side of the C-frame 200 has corresponding and linearly arranged slots 300 at its top. Two sets of locking blocks 301 engage with the inner cavity of the slots 300 at the same position. A connecting strip 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the two sets of locking blocks 301. Through the limiting components, the locking blocks 301 and slots 300 act as limiting components, preventing the U-shaped blocks from accidentally detaching from the C-frame during use, thus ensuring the stability of the fixed components. The connecting strip 302 facilitates simultaneous operation of the locking blocks 301 on both sides, improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly.

[0035] Preferably, the fixing component includes a connecting groove 204 corresponding to each connecting arm 203. A connecting block 208 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting groove 204. Several sets of connecting blocks 208 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding connecting arm 203. A bolt 202 is inserted into the bottom of each connecting block 208. The bolt 202 passes through the corresponding side connecting block 208 and is threaded into the inner cavity of the corresponding side connecting groove 204. Through the setting of the fixing component, the connecting arm 203 is firmly connected to the bottom of the terminal 102 through the cooperation of the connecting groove 204, the connecting block 208 and the bolt 202, ensuring the overall stability of the fixing component. When the fixing component has a problem, it is convenient for the staff to replace the fixing component, which improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0036] It is worth noting that a rubber pad 205 is adhered to the inner wall of the U-shaped block 201. By setting the rubber pad 205, the rubber pad 205 can increase the friction between the U-shaped block and the power cord, further improving the fixing effect. On the other hand, the rubber pad 205 can also insulate and protect the power cord, preventing the power cord from being worn or short-circuited.

[0037] Furthermore, both ends of the U-shaped block 201 are fixedly connected with levers 209. By setting levers 209 at both ends of the U-shaped block, it is convenient for users to operate when installing and disassembling the fixed components, thus improving the ease of use.

[0038] Working principle;

[0039] First, use expansion bolts to secure the meter body 100 to the wall using the mounting ring 101. Then, pass the power cord through the inner cavity of the C-frame 200 and insert it into the terminal block 102. Tighten the wire clamping screw of the terminal block 102 to secure the power cord. Next, remove the U-shaped block 201, passing one end of it through the inner cavity of the C-frame 200 and positioning the power cord within the U-shaped block 201. Then, as the levers 209 at both ends of the U-shaped block 201 pass through the inner cavity of the C-frame 200, simultaneously pinch the levers 209 inwards and pull the U-shaped block 201 outwards. The inner wall of the U-shaped block 201 is tightly attached to the power cord to fix it in place. When the lever 209 is released, the U-shaped block 201 returns to its original shape, and the fixing teeth 207 on both sides of the U-shaped block 201 are respectively engaged in the corresponding tooth grooves 206 to prevent the U-shaped block 201 from moving. Then, the connecting strip 302 is taken out, and the locking blocks 301 at the bottom of the connecting strip 302 are respectively engaged in the locking grooves 300 at the top of the U-shaped block 201. The connecting strip 302 is also tightly attached to the back of the C-shaped frame 200 to further limit the U-shaped block 201, thereby completing the restriction of the power cord and preventing the power cord from shaking.
