Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter technology, specifically to an installation structure for an electricity meter. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the power industry and the continuous advancement of smart grid construction, electricity metering equipment, as an indispensable part of the power system, plays a crucial role in accurately measuring electricity consumption, ensuring power supply quality, and promoting the rational use of energy. Electricity meters, as the core device for electricity metering, are widely used in various fields such as homes, commercial buildings, and industrial production.

[0003] Traditional electricity meter installation methods typically involve directly fixing the meter to a wall or a dedicated meter box. While simple, this method has limitations in practical application. Especially when adjusting the meter's position or height, traditional methods are often inflexible. Since the meter is usually directly connected to a mounting plate using bolts or other fasteners, and the mounting plate is then fixed to the wall or other supporting structure, this design makes it difficult to move the meter's position once installed. If users or maintenance personnel want to change the meter's height to suit different usage needs or for aesthetic reasons, they must first completely remove the fixing bolts, then select a mounting plate of a different length and tighten it again. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also requires replacing mounting plates of different lengths, increasing user costs.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes an electricity meter installation structure that can both ensure the electricity meter is securely installed and allow for convenient and quick adjustment of its installation height. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an installation structure for an electricity meter.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an installation structure for an electricity meter, including a meter housing, a mounting plate with hanging holes, a fixing bolt, and an elastic sleeve. The upper end of the bottom wall of the meter housing is provided with a mounting plate groove for mounting the mounting plate. Both ends of the mounting plate groove are provided with guide grooves. The sides of the mounting plate are provided with guide steps that slide in cooperation with the guide grooves. The bottom wall of the groove is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection with the fixing bolt. The elastic sleeve is fitted onto the bolt of the fixing bolt. A plurality of circular holes penetrating the mounting plate are provided at intervals along the length of the mounting plate. The circular holes are interconnected by a connecting groove. The connecting groove and the circular holes are connected by an arc transition. Under the action of external force, the bolt of the fixing bolt with the elastic sleeve can slide from one circular hole to another. However, under the action of no external force, the bolt of the fixing bolt with the elastic sleeve cannot slide from one circular hole to another.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the fixing bolt has a hexagonal screw head, and a handle is provided on one side of the hexagonal screw head.

[0008] Furthermore, the screw of the fixing bolt has a raised ring at one end of the hexagonal screw head, and the inner wall of the elastic sleeve has a concave ring that engages with the raised ring.

[0009] Furthermore, both the guide groove and the guide step have a "V" or "T" shaped cross-section.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. High Flexibility: By designing a mounting plate with multiple circular holes and connecting slots that allow the holes to communicate with each other, along with matching elastic sleeves and fixing bolts, this application allows users to easily adjust the installation height of the electricity meter without completely removing the fixing bolts. This design greatly simplifies the adjustment process and provides greater flexibility.

[0012] 2. Simple Operation: Compared with traditional methods, this application does not require replacing the mounting plates of different lengths, nor does it require completely disassembling the original mounting plates to adjust the height of the electricity meter. Simply loosen the fixing bolts, apply appropriate external force to move the mounting plate to the desired position, and then tighten it again to complete the height adjustment, which greatly reduces the difficulty of operation and saves time and labor.

[0013] 3. Enhanced safety: The design of using an elastic sleeve fitted onto the fixing bolt effectively prevents the fixing bolt from sliding from one round hole to another without external force, ensuring the stability of the electricity meter after installation.

[0014] 4. Wide range of applications: This installation structure is suitable for various types of electricity meters and can meet the installation needs of different occasions, whether it is a residential house, a commercial building, or even an industrial site.

[0015] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features, and advantages. The utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0024] This utility model provides an installation structure for an electricity meter.

[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-5 The installation structure of the electricity meter includes a meter housing 1, a mounting plate 3 with mounting holes 2, a fixing bolt 4, and an elastic sleeve 5. The upper bottom wall of the meter housing is provided with a mounting plate groove 6 for mounting the mounting plate. The two ends of the mounting plate groove 6 are provided with guide grooves 7. The two sides of the mounting plate are provided with guide steps 8 that slide in cooperation with the guide grooves 7. The bottom wall of the groove is provided with a screw hole 9 that is threaded to the fixing bolt. The elastic sleeve is fitted onto the screw of the fixing bolt. A plurality of circular holes 10 are provided at intervals along the length of the mounting plate, penetrating the mounting plate. The circular holes 10 are interconnected by a connecting groove 11. The connecting groove and the circular holes are connected by an arc transition 12. Under the action of external force, the screw of the fixing bolt with the elastic sleeve can slide from one circular hole to another circular hole. However, under the action of no external force, the screw of the fixing bolt with the elastic sleeve cannot slide from one circular hole to another circular hole.

[0026] In the above technical solution, a mounting slot is designed at the bottom of the meter casing. Guide grooves are provided at both ends of the mounting slot, and guide steps matching the guide grooves are provided on both sides of the mounting plate. The guide grooves and guide steps serve a guiding function. The mounting plate has multiple spaced-apart circular holes, which are interconnected through connecting slots. Fixing bolts pass through the circular holes and are fixed to the bottom of the mounting slot via screw holes. An elastic sleeve is installed on the fixing bolt. When external force is applied, the elastic sleeve deforms, allowing the fixing bolt to move between the circular holes; when no external force is applied, the elastic sleeve returns to its original shape, preventing the bolt from moving. Therefore, when height adjustment is required, only partial loosening of the fixing bolt is needed, improving adjustment efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, one end of the fixing bolt has a hexagonal screw head, and a handle 13 is provided on one side of the hexagonal screw head.

[0028] The fixing bolt has a standard-sized hexagonal head at one end for easy tightening or loosening with standard tools. Additionally, a small handle is attached to one side of the hexagonal head, allowing users to rotate the bolt directly by hand without the need for special tools.

[0029] Specifically, the screw of the fixing bolt has a raised ring 14 on one end of the hexagonal screw head, and the elastic sleeve has a concave ring that engages with the raised ring inside the hole wall.

[0030] A raised ring is provided near the hexagonal screw head of the fixing bolt. Correspondingly, a concave ring is designed inside the elastic sleeve. When the elastic sleeve is installed on the bolt, the raised ring and the concave ring are tightly engaged, ensuring that the elastic sleeve will not easily detach from the bolt.

[0031] Specifically, both the guide groove and the guide step have a "V" or "T" shaped cross-section.

[0032] The guide steps on the slide and mounting plate adopt a "V" or "T" shaped cross-section design. Both shapes can effectively restrict the movement of the mounting plate to only one plane, while reducing friction and making it easier for the mounting plate to slide along the predetermined path.

[0033] Please note to all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
