TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of electric energy measurement, concretely relates to a metering box and electricity collection system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the frequency and intensity of global extreme weather events have increased significantly, and high temperature and heavy rain weather have caused many adverse effects on society and economy. For example, the damage to the measurement equipment inside the metering box caused by water entering the metering box or internal line fire is huge. In addition, as an important part of the power system, communication system and industrial equipment, the temperature and humidity environment is an important external factor affecting the performance and service life of the internal equipment of the metering box. Its influence is specifically reflected in the following aspects: 1) change of measurement equipment precision, the measurement precision of precision equipment such as electric energy meter, voltage transformer and current transformer contained in the metering box is significantly affected by temperature and humidity change. 2) insulation performance of the insulation material used in the shell and internal equipment of the metering box decreases with the increase of environmental humidity, which may cause arc fault and increase the risk of electric leakage. 3) stability of mechanical structure, metal parts (such as wiring terminals, bolts, etc.) in the metering box are easy to be oxidized and electrochemically corroded in high humidity environment, thereby reducing the mechanical strength and electrical connection reliability. 4) condensation phenomenon and mold growth, when there is a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the metering box (for example, low temperature in winter and heat generated in the box when the equipment is running), condensate may appear in the box, causing equipment short circuit or corrosion. Under high temperature and high humidity environment, mold is easy to breed, which can damage the insulation material and sealing performance of the metering box.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to set sensor equipment for collecting environmental parameters in the metering box, such as temperature and humidity sensor, water immersion sensor, smoke sensor, etc., to timely perceive the environmental condition and transmit the collected environmental parameters to the background in time to make abnormal early warning when the environmental condition is relatively bad, so as to inform the maintenance personnel to maintain and overhaul in time.
[0004] However, when the old metering box is modified, due to the lack of equipment for transmitting the information collected by the sensor to the background in the old metering box, the equipment with the data information transmission function needs to be installed at the same time when the environmental parameter collection device is installed. However, in the prior art, a special collection terminal is usually connected with each sensor to upload the collected information, but the environmental parameter collection device composed of the special collection terminal and each sensor is either powered by a battery, such as the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN216209370U, or uses the power on the electrical line in the meter box, such as the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN213181697U which uses an UPS uninterrupted power supply system. If the battery is used for power supply, the battery needs to be replaced frequently, which is not only troublesome but also unreliable in power supply. If the power on the incoming line of the meter box is used for power supply, the power supply line needs to be connected during installation, which increases the difficulty of modification of the old metering box and reduces the modification efficiency.

[0022] The specific embodiment of the utility model is further explained below in combination with the drawings.
[0023] The basic idea of the utility model is: for some old metering boxes, the electric energy meter in the metering box is ordinary and conventional, and does not have the function of collecting data information of the transmission sensor. Therefore, when the existing inventory metering box is modified, the environmental parameter acquisition sensor is added, and the guide rail type electric energy meter is used as the information collection and transmission equipment, so that the collected environmental condition information is sent to the background for processing.
[0024] The guide rail type electric energy meter is an intelligent electric energy meter installed by using a guide rail, supports a communication interface such as RS485, and supports current primary access and secondary access. The electric energy meter is powered by a power line voltage, and does not need an auxiliary power supply. The current secondary access is that the guide rail type electric energy meter is connected to the power line by a mutual inductor connection mode. Specifically, the guide rail type electric energy meter is connected to the mutual inductor, and when installed, the power supply line is inserted through the center through hole of the mutual inductor, or the center through hole of the mutual inductor is sleeved on the power supply line. In this way, the guide rail type electric energy meter does not need to be connected by traditional wiring during installation, and the power supply line does not need to be powered off, so that the installation process is more simple and fast, thereby greatly improving the installation efficiency, and without affecting the normal power consumption of the user.
[0025] Metering box embodiment
[0026] Based on the above basic idea, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The utility model discloses a metering box, which comprises at least two conventional electric energy meters for realizing electric energy metering, and the conventional electric energy meters are connected to corresponding load power supply lines respectively. The metering box further comprises an environmental parameter acquisition sensor and a guide rail type electric energy meter. The electric energy input port of the guide rail type electric energy meter is connected to the power supply line in the metering box by current secondary access. The electric energy output port of the guide rail type electric energy meter is connected to the power supply interface of the environmental parameter acquisition sensor. The communication port of the guide rail type electric energy meter is connected to the data output interface of the environmental parameter acquisition sensor.
[0027] Figure 2 、 3 The figure shows a guide rail type electric energy meter of a certain model, wherein, Figure 2 The bottom interface of the guide rail type electric energy meter has a communication interface, an RS485 interface and a CAN port. The electric energy output port is a 12V voltage output terminal. The terminals for connecting the mutual inductor are A phase, B phase, C phase and N (neutral) four voltage terminals. Figure 2The 5V output terminal on the lower right is used to power the Rogowski coil. Terminal S1 is used for Rogowski coil integration type identification, terminal S2 is the correction coefficient reading communication line, la+, lb+, and lc+ are the current input terminals for phases a, b, and c, respectively, and la-, lb-, and lc- are the current output terminals for phases a, b, and c, respectively. When this DIN rail type energy meter is installed in a metering box, it is connected to the power supply line via a mutual inductance connection. The mutual inductor is a Rogowski coil current transformer, which is connected to the power supply via a phoenix terminal. Figure 2 Connect the four voltage terminals (A-phase, B-phase, C-phase, and N (neutral) as shown. Connect the 12V voltage output terminal to the power supply interface of the environmental parameter acquisition sensor via a cable. Connect the RS485 interface to the data output interface of the environmental parameter acquisition sensor via a communication cable. The Rogowski coil of the Rogowski coil current transformer can be made into an openable structure. When the power input line is connected, it is opened, and the Rogowski coil is closed by wrapping around the power input line, realizing power extraction through the Rogowski coil.
[0028] Preferably, the environmental parameter acquisition sensor includes a temperature and humidity sensor and a water immersion sensor. The power supply interfaces of the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor are connected to the power output port of the DIN rail-mounted energy meter, using the 12V voltage output from the DIN rail-mounted energy meter for power supply. The data transmission interfaces of the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor are connected to the two 485 interfaces of the DIN rail-mounted energy meter. The environmental parameter acquisition sensor is wall-mounted in an unused space within the metering box.
[0029] Preferably, for ease of installation, the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor can be installed on a guide rail inside the metering box. This guide rail is the same one used for mounting a rail-mounted energy meter, allowing the environmental parameter acquisition sensor to be installed close to the rail-mounted energy meter, saving space and connecting cables, and reducing the installation cost of the environmental parameter acquisition sensor.
[0030] Preferably, a smoke sensor is also installed inside the metering box, mounted on the top of the metering box. The smoke sensor can be powered and transmit data using a rail-mounted energy meter. However, since smoke sensors are typically mounted on the top of the metering box, and rail-mounted energy meters are usually mounted on the rail along with temperature and humidity sensors and water immersion sensors, the distance between the smoke sensor and the rail-mounted energy meter is relatively large, leading to inconvenient wiring. As a preferred embodiment, the smoke sensor is a sensor with built-in Bluetooth functionality, communicating with the rail-mounted energy meter via Bluetooth. Preferably, the smoke sensor is a sensor with its own battery.

[0035] Preferably, a smoke sensor is further arranged in the meter box, and the smoke sensor is installed on the top of the meter box. The smoke sensor can be powered and transmit data by the rail-mounted electric energy meter, but the smoke sensor is usually installed on the top of the meter box, while the rail-mounted electric energy meter is usually installed on the rail together with the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor, which results in a long distance between the smoke sensor and the rail-mounted electric energy meter, causing inconvenience in wiring. As a preferred embodiment, the smoke sensor is a sensor with Bluetooth function, which communicates with the rail-mounted electric energy meter by Bluetooth. Preferably, the smoke sensor is a sensor with a built-in battery.

[0037] When incrementally modifying the meter box, the ordinary circuit breaker arranged at the power supply incoming line of the meter box can be replaced by a measurement switch. Figure 5The schematic diagram of the metering switch terminal is shown, the voltage output port of the metering switch is connected with the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor for power supply, the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor are powered by the 12V output voltage of the metering switch, the two-way RS485 interface of the metering switch is respectively connected with the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor in communication, so that the information collected by the temperature and humidity sensor and the water immersion sensor is uploaded through the metering switch, as shown in Figure 6 When the metering switch is in communication connection with the concentrator, the HPLC chip is arranged in the two in hardware to realize the communication connection, and the data interaction is realized through the 698 protocol in software.
[0038] In summary, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: 1) Real-time collection of temperature and humidity data in the meter box is realized, and the functions of temperature and humidity, water immersion and smoke anomaly alarm are realized. It is of great significance to cope with extreme weather, and can reduce property loss.

The installation mode of the utility model is simple, and there are two schemes of stock transformation and incremental transformation. In addition, the expansibility of the design is very strong, and the subsequent box alarm, intelligent lock and the like can be developed.
[0039] 2) Subsequent upgrade and maintenance are convenient, when the function needs to be expanded, for the stock transformation meter box, the guide rail type electric energy meter can be upgraded through Bluetooth, and the guide rail type electric energy meter can also be replaced when it fails, and power supply is not required during replacement. For the incremental transformation meter box, the metering switch can be upgraded through the RS485 communication mode, and power supply is not required. When the secondary side of the metering switch fails, the plug-in metering unit of the metering switch can be replaced, and power supply is not required, and the entire switch does not need to be replaced. Therefore, in the process of upgrading and maintenance, power supply is avoided to bring inconvenience to the life of residents.
