[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5This embodiment provides a quick-release convenient smart electronic meter, including a first housing 1, a first meter module 2, a second meter module 23, a connecting harness 4, and a first cover plate 5. The first housing 1 includes a first accommodating cavity and a first opening, with the first opening communicating with the first accommodating cavity. Multiple quick-release sockets 11 are provided at the bottom of the first housing 1. The first meter module 2 is disposed within the first accommodating cavity and has multiple interfaces, each corresponding to a quick-release socket 11. The first meter module 2 is used to measure electricity consumption. The first meter module 2 includes a circuit breaker 21, a metering unit 22, a first output terminal 24, and a first input terminal 23. The first output terminal 24 and the first input terminal 23 are electrically connected to the circuit breaker 21, respectively. The metering unit 22 is used for metering... Electricity consumption; the second meter module 23 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity, and the second meter module 23 and the first meter module 2 are arranged alternately from top to bottom, and the metering unit 22 is electrically connected to the second meter module 23. The second meter module 23 is used to perform logical calculations on the electricity consumption. The second meter module 23 has a second output terminal and a second input terminal; the connecting harness 4 includes a first cable 41 and a second cable 42. The first cable 41 is used to connect the first input terminal 23 and the second input terminal, and the second cable 42 is used to connect the first output terminal 24 and the second output terminal, so that the first input terminal 23 and the second input terminal are connected in parallel, and the first output terminal 24 and the second output terminal are connected in parallel; the first cover plate 5 is disposed at the first opening, and the first cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the first opening.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first meter module 2 and the second meter module 23 are designed separately, meaning that the first meter module 2 and the second meter module 23 can be replaced and repaired independently. Information exchange between the first meter module 2 and the second meter module 23 can be achieved through a serial port connection. Optionally, the first meter module 2 can adopt the structure of the "Smart Meter with Wireless Meter Reading System" published in CN202330492U. Alternatively, the first meter module 2 can be a commercially available ordinary meter. The second meter module 23 is connected in parallel to the first input terminal 23 and the first output terminal 24 of the circuit breaker 21 of the first meter module 2, without affecting the internal structure and connection method of the first meter module 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first housing 1 and the first cover plate 5 are detachably connected. Specifically, the first housing 1 and the first cover plate 5 are hinged on one side, and fasteners can be used on the other side of the first cover plate 5 to maintain a relatively fixed relationship with the first housing 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the first meter module 2 is equipped with multiple interfaces, each of which can be connected to an output cable to collect electricity consumption data for a single household. Optionally, the measurement data for each interface can be different; for example, one interface can be used to measure the user's current value, another interface can be used to measure the user's voltage value, and so on. Specifically, the first meter module 2 includes a circuit breaker 21, a metering unit 22, a first output terminal 24, and a first input terminal 23. The first input terminal 23 and the first output terminal 24 are connected to the circuit breaker 21, and the connection relationship between the metering unit 22 and the circuit breaker 21 can be as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown. Specifically, the first housing 1 is provided with multiple quick-release ports, which correspond to the interfaces. During installation, users can directly connect the required cables through the quick-release ports. However, disassembly and assembly require professional personnel to avoid user errors and improve the overall safety of the electronic meter.

[0047] The second meter module 23 and the first meter module 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The second meter module 23 is used to perform logical calculations of electricity consumption. Specifically, existing meters have the function of communicating with the server. Some technical solutions use the electricity consumption collected by the meter for data analysis to obtain electrical trace features. These features are then used to monitor the electricity consumption of the user's appliances. However, existing technical solutions rely on the electricity consumption synchronized by the server, and the meter inevitably introduces data noise and data loss during transmission. The structure shown in this embodiment integrates the analysis and calculation of electrical trace features into the local meter, that is, it integrates the analysis and calculation of electrical trace features into the second meter module 23 to achieve electricity consumption monitoring for the user. This method can avoid the risk of data loss during data transmission and preserve electrical trace features to the maximum extent, making the final monitoring results more accurate. At the same time, the second meter module 23 can also perform various functions of the existing meter. For example, an electricity alarm function can be integrated into the second meter module 23 to provide timely warnings when electricity consumption is abnormal.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connecting harness 4 includes a first cable 41 and a second cable 42. The first cable 41 is connected to the first input terminal 23 and the second input terminal, and the second cable 42 is connected to the first output terminal 24 and the second output terminal in parallel.

[0049] In this embodiment, the separate design of the first meter module 2 and the second meter module 23 allows each module to be replaced and maintained independently, reducing the complexity and cost of maintenance. The second meter module 23 can perform logical calculations of electricity consumption and analyze electrical trace characteristics locally. This design avoids noise and data loss during data transmission, ensuring the accuracy of monitoring results. Users can obtain real-time electricity monitoring, improving the effectiveness of electricity management. The first meter module 2 has multiple interfaces, enabling multi-dimensional data collection of electricity consumption for a single user, such as simultaneous measurement of current and voltage. This flexibility allows users to have a more comprehensive understanding of their electricity usage. The detachable connection between the first housing 1 and the first cover plate 5 facilitates quick opening of the device for inspection or module replacement when needed. The hinge and fastener design enhances the stability of the housing and also facilitates maintenance. The first meter module 2 is compatible with commercially available ordinary meters or specific smart meter structures, providing greater choice and allowing users to select the appropriate meter module according to their actual needs. The modules are connected in parallel via the connecting harness 4, simplifying the connection complexity and making the installation and commissioning of the device more efficient.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second meter module 23 includes a second housing 31, a second cover plate 32, and a second control unit 33. The second housing 31 includes a second accommodating cavity and a second opening, with the second opening communicating with the second accommodating cavity. The second control unit 33 is disposed within the second accommodating cavity and within the projection area of ​​the second opening. The second control unit 33 is used to perform logical calculations on the power consumption. The second control unit 33 has a first handle 331, which faces the second opening. The second cover plate 32 covers the second opening and is detachably connected to the second opening.

[0051] The second housing 31 serves as the outer shell of the entire second meter module 23, providing physical protection and structural support. The second housing 31 includes a second accommodating cavity and a second opening. A second cover plate 32 is used to close the second opening, protecting the components inside the second meter module 23. The second cover plate 32 and the second opening are detachably connected, specifically by bolted fastening, facilitating maintenance or replacement of the components within the second accommodating cavity.

[0052] The second control unit 33 can process the data transmitted from the first meter module 2 and perform necessary calculations to analyze the user's electricity consumption. The second control unit 33 is placed inside the second accommodating cavity and located within the projection area of ​​the second opening, allowing for plugging and unplugging replacement within the area of ​​the second opening. The second control unit 33 is equipped with a first handle 331, which faces the second opening, allowing the user to plug and unplug the second control unit 33 from the outside for ease of use.

[0053] In this embodiment, the detachable design and easy-to-operate first handle 331 enable users to quickly maintain and adjust the second control unit 33, improving the user experience. The design of the second meter module 23 ensures the maintainability of the equipment while enhancing the user's ability to monitor and control electricity usage.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second meter module 23 further includes a base 34, which is disposed in the second accommodating cavity. The base 34 is provided with a second control unit 33, a first interface and a second interface. The first interface is electrically connected to the first cable 41, the second interface is electrically connected to the second cable 42, the first interface is in contact with the second control unit 33, and the second interface is in contact with the second control unit 33.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first interface and the first cable 41 can be electrically connected by welding, and the second interface and the second cable 42 can also be electrically connected by welding. The first interface is in contact with the second input terminal, and the second interface is in contact with the second output terminal. When the second control unit 33 is placed on the base 34, the second input terminal is in contact with the first interface, and the second output terminal is in contact with the second interface. This method changes the connection between the second control unit 33 and the connecting cable to a separate connection, which facilitates the replacement of the second control unit 33 and ensures that the replacement of the second control unit 33 will not affect the connecting cable and the first meter module 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second meter module 23 further includes a battery and a charging protection circuit. The battery is disposed in the second accommodating cavity and is electrically connected to the second control unit 33; the charging protection circuit is electrically connected to the battery.

[0057] In this embodiment, the battery can be a lithium battery or other rechargeable batteries. The charging protection circuit can prevent overcharging of the battery, thereby extending its service life. By setting up a battery and a charging protection circuit, this embodiment can achieve independent power supply for the second meter module 23, reducing the impact of external power fluctuations on the second meter module 23 and extending its service life.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second meter module 23 further includes a communication unit disposed within the second accommodating cavity and electrically connected to the second control unit 33. In some embodiments, the communication unit is a Wi-Fi communication unit or a Bluetooth communication unit. The design of the communication unit enables the second meter module 23 to communicate with the server, update the user's electricity consumption data in a timely manner, and facilitate the collection of user electricity consumption information and subsequent electricity consumption analysis and monitoring.

[0059] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second meter module 23 further includes a filter module 35, which is electrically connected to the second input terminal and the second output terminal, respectively. The filter module 35 is used to filter the power consumption. In this embodiment, the filter module 35 can be composed of a filter amplifier structure connected with other components. The filter module 35 can filter out certain data noise, making the analysis results of the second meter module 23 more accurate.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first meter module 2 includes a first indicator light for indicating the working status of the first meter module 2; and / or, the second meter module 23 includes a second indicator light for indicating the working status of the second meter module 23. Optionally, the first and second indicator lights can be LED indicator lights. The arrangement of the first and second indicator lights allows users to quickly know the current working status of the first meter module 2 and the second meter module 23 when viewing the electronic meter, facilitating troubleshooting and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0061] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second meter module 23 further includes a display unit 36, which is electrically connected to the second control unit 33 and is used to display the power consumption; a first window 51 is provided on the first cover plate 5, which is used to display the display content of the display unit 36.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, the display unit 36 ​​may also display the electrical trace characteristics of the current user's electricity consumption after analysis, or display the user's electricity consumption analysis chart to improve the user experience.

[0063] Unlike existing technologies, the above technical solution adopts a modular design, dividing the entire electronic meter into a first meter module 2 and a second meter module 23. The first meter module 2 and the second meter module 23 are connected in parallel via a connecting cable, without disrupting their overall structure.
