Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric carbon meter technology, specifically to an electric carbon meter. Background Technology
[0002] Energy conservation and carbon reduction have become rigid requirements across all industries. Energy consumption in industrial parks is one of the main sources of carbon emissions, making the shift from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions through smart integrated energy services a crucial direction. Electric carbon meters are energy metering devices based on a smart IoT meter architecture, featuring high accuracy, high stability, and low power consumption. They can monitor electricity consumption in real time and generate electricity data. Simultaneously, they can display cumulative carbon emission data in real time, allowing users to easily understand their carbon emission situation. Furthermore, they can be paired with a digital carbon management platform to record, statistically analyze, and process the metering data from electric carbon meters.
[0003] A search revealed that in the prior art, publication number CN220188604U discloses an electricity meter, including a front cover, a terminal block, a meter body, and multiple sets of wires. The terminal block is fixed to the bottom of the meter body. The wires include an outer sheath and a conductor. A drying mechanism is provided inside the front cover. The drying mechanism includes a drying component and a fixing component. The drying component includes a mesh box. A cover plate is fixedly provided on the front of the mesh box. A quicklime drying bag and a baffle are respectively provided inside the mesh box. A through groove is opened on the front of the front cover, and the end of the mesh box passes through the through groove. This utility model, through its designed drying mechanism, facilitates the absorption of moisture that penetrates the electricity meter during the rainy season, keeping the inside of the electricity meter dry and preventing moisture from corroding internal parts and components, thus improving the performance and effectiveness of the electricity meter.
[0004] However, some industrial parks currently have distributed energy systems. In order to achieve more accurate measurement of electricity consumption and carbon emissions, carbon emission meters are generally installed in a decentralized manner near the distributed energy equipment to record carbon consumption and electricity usage. Some carbon emission meters are installed outdoors. Therefore, in rainy or snowy weather or when the air quality is poor, prolonged use can cause snow or dust to accumulate on the surface of the carbon emission meter, affecting the meter reader's ability to check the meter readings. At the same time, the outdoor installation of carbon emission meters can easily allow rainwater to enter the meter, affecting the service life of the internal components. Therefore, we need to propose a new type of carbon emission meter. Utility Model Content

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an electric carbon meter, including a meter box 1, a door 2, a cleaning mechanism and a protective mechanism. The side wall of the meter box 1 is rotatably connected to the door 2 via a hinge. The cleaning mechanism is set on the outer side wall of the door 2. The cleaning mechanism includes an upper support plate 8, a handle 9, a slider 10, a scraper 11 and auxiliary components. The upper support plate 8 is fixedly installed above the side wall of the door 2. The side wall of the door 2 is set with a transparent glass window 3. A groove 15 is opened on the surface of the upper support plate 8. The inner wall of the groove 15 is slidably connected to the bottom side wall of the slider 10. The handle 9 is set on the surface of the slider 10. One end of the bottom surface of the slider 10 is fixedly installed to the top of the scraper 11. The bottom end of the scraper 11 passes through a limiting groove 17 opened on the surface of the lower support plate 16 and is fixedly installed to a connecting block 14. The side wall of the connecting block 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 17. The other end of the bottom surface of the slider 10 is fixedly installed to the auxiliary components.
[0024] By setting a scraper 11 on the side wall of the door 2 and having it reciprocate on the side wall of the door 2 when the user manually moves the handle 9, the scraper 11 removes dust and impurities from the surface of the transparent glass window 3 on the door 2. This achieves the technical effect of removing dust and impurities from the surfaces of the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3, solving the technical problem of dust and impurities accumulating on the surface of the transparent glass window 3, affecting the meter reader's ability to read meter readings, and reducing the work efficiency of the meter reader.
[0025] Furthermore, the auxiliary components include a cleaning plate 13, the top end of which is fixedly installed to the other end of the bottom surface of the slider 10, and the bottom end of which is fixedly installed to the connecting block 14.
[0026] By setting up a cleaning plate 13 that is also installed on the bottom surface of the slider 10 and located on one side of the scraper 11, the technical effect of secondary cleaning of dust and impurities accumulated on the surface of the box door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 is achieved, solving the technical problem that the accumulation of dust and impurities on the surface of the box door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 affects the work efficiency of meter readers.
[0027] Furthermore, the sidewall between the scraper 11 and the cleaning plate 13 is fixedly installed via the connecting plate 12. By setting up the structure in which the sidewall between the scraper 11 and the cleaning plate 13 is fixedly installed via the connecting plate 12, the technical effect of the meter reader manually turning the handle 9 is achieved, thereby enabling the scraper 11 and the cleaning plate 13 to clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the box door 2 and the transparent glass window 3. This solves the technical problem that the scraper 11 and the cleaning plate 13 cannot clean the surface of the box door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 simultaneously when the meter reader manually turns the handle 9.
[0028] Furthermore, the end of the scraper 11 is set to a pointed shape, and the end of the cleaning plate 13 near the door 2 is set to an arc shape. By setting the end of the scraper 11 to a pointed shape and the end of the cleaning plate 13 near the door 2 to an arc shape, it is possible for the end of the scraper 11 to slide and connect with the side wall of the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 when the operator manually moves the handle 9. The scraper 11 scrapes away the dust and impurities on the side wall of the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3. The arc shape of the end of the cleaning plate 13 allows for the wrapping of a cleaning sponge at the end of the cleaning plate 13 to perform a secondary cleaning of the side wall of the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3. This achieves the technical effect of scraping and cleaning the impurities on the side wall of the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 using the scraper 11 and the cleaning plate 13, and solves the technical problem that the accumulation of dust and impurities on the side wall of the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 affects the meter reading personnel.
[0029] Furthermore, a cleaning sponge is provided on the end side wall of the cleaning plate 13 near the door 2. With the cooperation of the cleaning sponge structure on the end side wall of the cleaning plate 13 near the door 2, the technical effect of cleaning the door 2 and the transparent glass window 3 by manually moving the handle 9 to drive the scraper 11 and the cleaning plate 13 to slide simultaneously through the cleaning sponge on the side wall of the cleaning plate 13 is achieved. This solves the technical problem that the accumulation of dust and impurities on the surface of the transparent glass window 3 affects the meter reader's ability to check the meter readings.
[0030] Furthermore, a dust collection groove 18 for collecting scraped dust is provided on one side of the surface of the lower support plate 16, located on the side of the limiting groove 17. With the combination of the dust collection groove 18 structure on one side of the surface of the lower support plate 16, the technical effect of collecting the dust scraped off by the scraper 11 through the dust collection groove 18 is achieved, solving the technical problem of dust and impurities flying around after being scraped off by the scraper 11.
[0031] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes a rain cover 7, and support plates 5 are respectively provided on the side walls of both sides of the meter box 1. Two sets of brackets 6 are symmetrically arranged on the surface of the support plates 5, and the top of the brackets 6 are fixedly installed to the inner top surface of the rain cover 7.
[0032] By providing support plates 5 on the top side walls of the meter box 1, and symmetrically providing brackets 6 on the surface of the support plates 5, with the ends of the brackets 6 fixedly installed to the inner bottom surface of the rain cover 7, the technical effect of providing rain cover 7 to the meter box 1 below by installing the rain cover 7 on the top of the meter box 1 is achieved. This solves the technical problem of water entering the meter box 1 causing damage to the internal components and affecting the service life of the internal components of the meter box 1.
[0033] Furthermore, the handle 9 does not contact the inner wall of the rain cover 7 when the door 2 is open. Heat dissipation holes 4 are respectively provided on the lower side walls of both sides of the meter box 1. By setting the handle 9 to not contact the inner wall of the rain cover 7 when the door 2 is open, it is ensured that the handle 9 can be turned normally when the door 2 is open.
