[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] A specific embodiment of this utility model provides an integrated distribution box for itemized metering, combined with the attached... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the main body of the distribution box 1 includes a main control module area 2 and a line module area 3. The main control module area 2 is located at the top of the line module area 3. The main control module area 2 includes a main switch 4, a multi-function meter 5, and a protective mechanism 6. The main switch 4 is located to the left of the multi-function meter 5, and the protective mechanism 6 is located below the multi-function meter 5. The line module area 3 includes a lighting control area 7, a socket control area 8, and an air conditioning control area 9, which are arranged from top to bottom. The line module area 3 is equipped with meters 10, including a first meter 101, a second meter 102, and a third meter 103. The first meter 101 is located in the lighting control area 7, the second meter 102 is located in the socket control area 8, and the third meter 103 is located in the air conditioning control area 9.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, lighting control area 7 is equipped with a main lighting switch 11, socket control area 8 is equipped with a main socket switch 12, and air conditioning control area 9 is equipped with a main air conditioning switch 13. The main lighting switch 11 is connected in series with a first meter 101, the main socket switch 12 is connected in series with a second meter 102, and the main air conditioning switch 13 is connected in series with a third meter 103. The main lighting switch 11, the main socket switch 12, and the main air conditioning switch 13 are connected in parallel. The first meter 101 records the current and voltage data of the lighting control area 7, and the second meter 102 records the current and voltage data of the socket... The current and voltage data of control area 8 are recorded by the third meter 103, and the current and voltage data of air conditioning control area 9 are recorded by the third meter 103. The first meter 101, the second meter 102 and the third meter 103 do not affect each other. The main switch 11 for lighting, the main switch 12 for sockets and the main switch 13 for air conditioning are connected in series with the main switch 2. The main switch 2 can control the overall power supply status of the circuit module area 3. In this embodiment, at least two spare lines are provided for lighting circuit 14 and socket circuit 15, and at least four spare lines are provided for air conditioning circuit 16 for subsequent equipment replenishment.

[0026] Specifically, lighting control area 7 is equipped with lighting circuit 14, socket control area 8 is equipped with socket circuit 15, and air conditioning control area 9 is equipped with air conditioning circuit 16. The numbering of the sub-circuits in this distribution box is designed according to Z1, Z2, Z3... (lighting), C1, C2, C3... (sockets), and K1, K2, K3 (air conditioning). The numbers are taken from the first letter of the name of each functional module, making the numbers easier to identify and less prone to confusion, thus improving usability. In this embodiment, based on engineering data and practical experience, the number of lighting, socket, and air conditioning circuits is set in a ratio of 2:11:3, which better meets actual needs. The design of this distribution box is further optimized based on this ratio to make the three sub-circuits more universal and replicable. For example, for a 2400 square meter office area, two standard distribution boxes can be directly installed. This modular design can shorten the design and construction cycle.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the protective mechanism 6 is equipped with a protective shell 61 and a surge protector. The protective shell 61 is bolted to the main body of the distribution box. The protective shell 61 is used to house the surge protector. When a surge current or voltage suddenly occurs in the electrical circuit or communication line due to external interference, the surge protector can conduct and divert the current in a very short time, thereby avoiding damage to other equipment in the circuit. In this embodiment, the surge protector includes a first surge protector 62, a second surge protector 63, and a third surge protector 64, which are respectively connected to the lighting control area 7, the socket control area 8, and the air conditioning control area 9.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multi-functional instrument 5 includes an LCD screen 51 and a communication box 52. The LCD screen 51 is used to uniformly display the data of the first meter 101, the second meter 102 and the third meter 103, and can complete data transmission through the built-in communication device of the communication box 52. In this embodiment, the RS485 communication protocol is adopted. RS485 adopts differential signal transmission mode and has the characteristics of high speed, long distance and high reliability, which can realize long-distance data transmission.

[0029] Inside the distribution box, it is divided into three modules, each with its own meter, which provides a basis for itemized metering. At the same time, each module has its own main switch (lighting main switch, socket main switch, air conditioning main switch), so the three modules can be operated independently during inspection and maintenance without affecting each other, thus meeting the convenience of use.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
