Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter circuit conversion technology, specifically to a conversion terminal structure for a three-phase rail electricity meter. Background Technology
[0002] Three-phase rail-mounted energy meters can accurately measure energy consumption, monitor power system parameters in real time, control and protect the power system, and provide necessary data and information for the operation and management of the power system. In existing technology, most three-phase rail-mounted energy metering products have the same wiring terminals as ordinary three-phase wall-mounted meters, with the terminals located on the bottom, allowing the use of conventional three-phase energy meter calibration devices. However, with the diversification of market demands and the increasing need for three-phase rail-mounted energy meters, whose wiring terminals are located on both the top and bottom sides of the meter, the company needs to introduce additional three-phase rail-mounted energy meter calibration devices to meet market demands and to calibrate these meters with their wiring terminals located on the top and bottom sides, thus increasing the company's costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect that the wiring terminals are located on the upper and lower sides of the energy meter in the prior art, which leads to the need to reintroduce them when calibrating the product. Thus, a conversion terminal structure for a three-phase rail energy meter that allows the energy meter with wiring terminals located on the upper and lower sides of the energy meter to be adapted to conventional three-phase energy meter calibration devices is provided.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a transfer terminal structure for a three-phase rail energy meter. The energy meter includes an inlet located at the top and an outlet located at the bottom. The transfer terminal structure includes a transfer body, an inlet structure connected to the inlet of the energy meter, and an outlet structure connected to the outlet of the energy meter. The transfer terminal structure also includes an outlet terminal located below the outlet structure for connecting the wires of the inlet structure and the wires of the outlet structure together. A transfer cable is provided between the inlet structure and the outlet terminal.
[0005] Furthermore: the incoming line structure is located above the adapter body, the outgoing line structure is located below the adapter body, and the adapter cable is located between the incoming line structure and the outgoing terminal, and is used to lead the current of the incoming line structure to the outgoing terminal.
[0006] Furthermore: the inlet structure includes at least one inlet pin for connecting to the inlet port of the electricity meter, and the outlet structure includes at least one outlet pin for connecting to the outlet port of the electricity meter.
[0007] Furthermore: the incoming line structure includes an A-phase incoming line pin, a B-phase incoming line pin, and a C-phase incoming line pin; the outgoing line structure includes an A-phase outgoing line pin, a B-phase outgoing line pin, and a C-phase outgoing line pin; the adapter cable includes an A-phase cable, a B-phase cable, and a C-phase cable; the A-phase incoming line pin and the A-phase outgoing line pin are connected by an A-phase cable; the B-phase incoming line pin and the B-phase outgoing line pin are connected by a B-phase cable; and the C-phase incoming line pin and the C-phase outgoing line pin are connected by a C-phase cable.
[0008] Furthermore: the output terminals include an A-phase output terminal, a B-phase output terminal, and a C-phase output terminal. The A-phase output terminal is provided with an A-phase inlet connected to the A-phase cable and an A-phase outlet connected to the A-phase output pin. The B-phase output terminal is provided with a B-phase inlet connected to the B-phase cable and a B-phase outlet connected to the B-phase output pin. The C-phase output terminal is provided with a C-phase inlet connected to the C-phase cable and a C-phase outlet connected to the C-phase output pin.
[0009] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0010] 1. This utility model provides a converter terminal structure for a three-phase rail-mounted energy meter. When verifying three-phase rail-mounted energy meters with terminals located on the top and bottom sides, simply install the converter terminal onto the energy meter, and then use a conventional three-phase energy meter verification device for verification. During the connection process, the inlet structure needs to be connected to the inlet port on top of the energy meter, and then connected to the outlet terminal via a converter cable. The outlet structure is connected to the outlet port on the energy meter, with one end inserted into the outlet port and the other end inserted into the outlet terminal. The outlet terminal can be connected to a conventional three-phase energy meter verification device for testing. In this way, the company does not need to import an additional batch of verification equipment suitable for terminals located on the top and bottom sides of the energy meter, thus effectively saving costs.
[0011] 2. The present invention provides a three-phase rail energy meter adapter terminal structure. After the inlet structure is connected to the inlet port and the outlet structure is connected to the outlet port, the inlet structure will be connected to the outlet terminal via an adapter cable. When the calibration equipment is turned on, the current will first flow through the outlet terminal to the adapter cable, then through the inlet structure to the inlet port of the energy meter, then through the energy meter, from the outlet port below the energy meter to the outlet structure, and finally from the outlet structure to the outlet terminal, and then out from the outlet terminal.
