Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of power meter boxes, specifically a meter box that is easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 202222373412.2, which discloses a meter box. Addressing the issue that existing meter readings require transcription, the lack of external light during transcription leads to illegible numbers, errors, and disruptions to subsequent work. Furthermore, the meter, being an electrical component, is susceptible to moisture and dust, which can damage internal electronic components and cause malfunctions. The proposed solution includes a box housing and multiple meter books. The box housing incorporates dehumidification and lighting mechanisms, as well as ventilation components, ensuring the internal air remains dry and clean, preventing overheating, and guaranteeing normal operation of the meter books. The meter books are clearly legible even without external light, ensuring accuracy during transcription. The semi-enclosed structure of the box prevents insects and other foreign objects from entering, safeguarding the meter books.
[0003] Although the aforementioned patent incorporates dehumidification and lighting mechanisms, as well as ventilation components on the casing to keep the air inside the casing dry and clean, prevent excessively high temperatures, ensure the normal operation of the meter book, and allow for clear reading of the meter book values even without external light sources during transcription, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the transcribed values, and features a semi-enclosed internal structure to prevent insects and other foreign objects from entering the casing and ensuring the safety of the meter book, in actual use, the existing casing has a relatively small internal space. Meters are prone to malfunction after prolonged use, requiring timely repairs. Furthermore, tools are not easily inserted into the casing to disassemble the meters, making repairs inconvenient for maintenance personnel.
[0004] Therefore, it needs to be modified so that when the meter needs to be inspected or repaired, it can be pushed out of the housing and exposed to the outside of the housing, making it easier to inspect, repair or replace the meter. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a meter box that is convenient for maintenance. When a meter needs maintenance, it can be pushed out of the box, exposing the entire meter to the outside, facilitating inspection, repair, and replacement. This improves user convenience and solves the problems of existing boxes having limited internal space, meters being prone to malfunction after prolonged use, requiring timely maintenance, and tools being difficult to extend into the box to disassemble the meter, leading to inconvenience for maintenance personnel.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a meter box for easy maintenance, comprising a box body, an upper mounting plate disposed inside the box body, a plurality of meter books disposed on the front of the mounting plate, first support rods hinged to the upper left and right sides of the back of the mounting plate, and second support rods hinged to the lower left and right sides of the back of the mounting plate, the rear ends of the first and second support rods being hinged to the rear side of the inner wall of the box body, and a round rod slidably connected to one side of the two first support rods, with a ring sleeve rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the surface of the round rod, a support plate fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the inner wall of the box body, and a multi-stage electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the support plate, the output end of the multi-stage electric telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring sleeve, and a winding roller corresponding to each meter book being rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box body, the surface of the winding roller being provided with an insulating coating.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0008] 1. This utility model mounts the meter on the front of a mounting plate, which is then positioned inside the housing via a first and second support rod. When the meter needs maintenance, a multi-stage electric telescopic rod retracts, causing a ring to move downwards. This movement, in turn, moves a round rod downwards, which slides downwards along the inner sides of the two first support rods. This causes the front ends of the first support rods to move forward and downwards, moving the mounting plate forward and downwards. Simultaneously, the second support rod moves along with the rod, supporting the mounting plate and pushing both the meter and the mounting plate out of the housing. Furthermore, a winding roller is included to wind excess wire around the meter when it is connected to the wire. When the meter is removed from the housing, the wire on the winding roller is stretched, preventing the wire from breaking during movement and affecting its use. This design allows the meter to be easily removed from the housing for maintenance, exposing it completely for inspection, repair, and replacement.
[0009] 2. This utility model, through the corresponding arrangement of the locking rod, pull ring, tension spring, and baffle, provides support and limits the mounting plate when it does not need to be moved, keeping the mounting plate vertical inside the housing and preventing it from tilting due to the weight of the meter. When the meter needs to be repaired, the pull ring can be pulled to the right, causing the locking rod to move to the right and releasing the limitation on the mounting plate.

A number of meter books 3 are provided on the front of the installation plate 2. First support rods 4 are hinged to the upper left and right sides of the back of the installation plate 2. Second support rods 5 are hinged to the lower left and right sides of the back of the installation plate 2. The rear ends of the first support rods 4 and the second support rods 5 are hinged to the rear side of the inner wall of the box body 1. A round rod 6 is slidably connected to the opposite side of the two first support rods 4. A ring sleeve 7 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the surface of the round rod 6. A support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the inner wall of the box body 1. A multi-stage electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the support plate 8. The output end of the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring sleeve 7. A winding roller 10 corresponding to the meter books 3 is rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box body 1. The surface of the winding roller 10 is provided with an insulating coating.
[0017] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The right side of the housing 1 has a through-hole, and a locking rod 11 is slidably connected inside the hole. A pull ring 12 is fixedly connected to the right end of the locking rod 11. A tension spring 13 is sleeved on the right side of the surface of the locking rod 11. The right end of the tension spring 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the pull ring 12, and the left end of the tension spring 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing 1. A baffle 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front of the mounting plate 2. The surface of the left end of the locking rod 11 is in contact with the bottom of the baffle 14 and the front of the mounting plate 2.
[0018] In this embodiment, by setting up the corresponding clamping rod 11, pull ring 12, tension spring 13 and baffle 14, the mounting plate 2 is supported and limited when it does not need to be moved, so that the mounting plate 2 remains vertical inside the housing 1 and avoids tilting due to the weight of the meter 3. When the meter 3 needs to be repaired, the pull ring 12 can be pulled to the right, which will move the clamping rod 11 to the right and release the limitation on the mounting plate 2.
[0019] refer to Figure 2A through-hole 15 is provided on the upper back of the box 1. A rubber protective sleeve 16 is fixedly connected inside the through-hole 15. A wire management groove 17 is fixedly connected to the upper back of the inner wall of the box 1 and the left and right sides. The end of the wire management groove 17 extends to the top of the winding roller 10.
[0020] In this embodiment, by providing a wire-passing hole 15, wires can be passed through the wire-passing hole 15 into the box 1 for easy connection. By providing a rubber protective sleeve 16, the wires are protected, preventing friction damage between the wires and the box 1. By providing a cable management channel 17, the wires inside the box 1 can be fixed inside the cable management channel 17 with wire clips, keeping the wiring neat and facilitating maintenance.
[0021] refer to Figure 1 A door 18 is hinged to the left side of the front of the box body 1. Sealing strips 19 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the right side of the door 18. A metal strip 20 is fixedly connected to the center of the right side of the front of the door 18. A square groove is opened on the right side of the front of the box body 1, and a magnetic strip 21 is fixedly connected inside the square groove.
[0022] In this embodiment, by setting up the corresponding configuration of the door 18, sealing strip 19, metal strip 20 and magnetic strip 21, when the door 18 is closed, the sealing strip 19 adheres to the surface of the box body 1, which seals the gap between the door 18 and the box body 1, preventing dust and foreign objects from entering the box body 1. The surface of the metal strip 20 contacts the surface of the magnetic strip 21, and the magnetic field generated by the magnetic strip 21 attracts the metal strip 20, making the door 18 more tightly fixed and easy to open.
[0023] refer to Figure 2 A cooling fan 22 located behind the mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the housing 1. A number of evenly distributed ventilation slots 23 are opened on the surface of the mounting plate 2. A number of evenly distributed heat dissipation slots 24 are opened on both the left and right sides of the housing 1. A dustproof net is fixedly connected inside the heat dissipation slot 24.
[0024] In this embodiment, by setting up the corresponding cooling fan 22, ventilation slot 23 and heat dissipation slot 24, when the internal temperature of the box 1 is high, the cooling fan 22 is activated to blow air to the mounting plate 2 to dissipate heat. The airflow passes through the ventilation slot 23 and blows towards the meter 3 to dissipate heat. The heat dissipation slot 24 accelerates the heat dissipation and improves the heat dissipation effect.
[0025] refer to Figure 5 Both ends of the round rod 6 are fixedly connected to sliders 25, and the inner sides of the two first support rods 4 are provided with grooves 26 corresponding to the sliders 25. The surface of the sliders 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the grooves 26.
[0026] In this embodiment, by setting the corresponding slider 25 and the slide groove 26, the round rod 6 is limited and reinforced, so that it will not fall off from the inside of the two first support rods 4 when it moves up and down. At the same time, it makes the movement smoother and avoids the round rod 6 from falling off and getting stuck when it moves up and down, which would affect normal use.
[0027] This invention mounts the meter 3 on the front of the mounting plate 2, and the mounting plate 2 is placed inside the housing 1 by the first support rod 4 and the second support rod 5. When the meter 3 needs to be inspected, the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 9 can be activated to retract it. The retraction of the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 9 drives the ring 7 to move downward, which in turn drives the round rod 6 to move downward. When the round rod 6 moves downward, it slides downward inside the two first support rods 4, causing the front end of the first support rod 4 to move forward and downward. When the front end of the first support rod 4 moves forward and downward, it drives the mounting plate 2 to... The meter moves forward and downward, and the second support rod 5 moves accordingly to support the mounting plate 2, pushing the mounting plate 2 and the meter 3 out of the housing 1. At the same time, by setting the winding roller 10, excess wire can be wound around the winding roller 10 when the meter 3 is connected to the wire. When the meter 3 is moved out of the housing 1, the wire on the winding roller 10 is stretched to prevent the wire from being broken when the meter 3 moves, which would affect its use. In this way, when the meter 3 needs to be inspected and repaired, it can be pushed out of the housing 1, so that it is completely exposed outside the housing 1, making it convenient for the meter 3 to be inspected, repaired and replaced.
