[0002] A metering box is a collection of metering instruments and auxiliary equipment necessary for measuring electrical energy. It includes electricity meters, voltage and current transformers and their secondary circuits, electricity metering panels, cabinets, boxes, etc. Metering boxes can be installed in a suspended or floor-mounted manner. To ensure installation quality, the suspended box must be fixed with built-in expansion bolts. The bolt size must meet the requirements of safety, firmness and outdoor installation conditions.
[0003] When installing outdoor metering boxes on the ground, the shield is installed on the top of the box using bolts. When moving or hoisting, the shield needs to be removed before hoisting can be carried out, resulting in low efficiency when moving the metering box. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor metering box, comprising a metering box body, a support block fixedly connected to the top of the metering box body, two sets of support blocks arranged symmetrically, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the support block, a rotating rod fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, the rotating rod rotatably connected to one side of the support block, a cover plate fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod, a ratchet fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft away from the rotating rod, the ratchet rotatably connected to the side of the support block away from the rotating rod, and a positioning block engaging the outside of the ratchet.
[0006] Preferably, a support shaft is rotatably connected inside the positioning block away from the ratchet, the support shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the support block near the ratchet, and a limit sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the support block near the rotating rod.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting sleeve is fan-shaped, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the metering box body away from the support block, and a placement groove is opened on the top of the support plate.
[0008] Preferably, an extrusion block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the placement groove near the top position. There are two sets of extrusion blocks arranged symmetrically, and the opposite side of the extrusion block is rounded.
[0009] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate away from the rotating rod. The support frame is inclined, and the end of the support frame away from the cover plate is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod.
[0010] Preferably, one side of the metering box body is open, and a door panel is rotatably connected to the open side of the metering box body.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by supporting the rotation of the rotating rod through the rotating shaft, the rotating rod controls the swing of the cover plate, and the positioning block can prevent the ratchet from reversing, thus achieving the effect of controlling the angle of the cover plate and adjusting the position of the cover plate. This solves the problem that the previous method of using bolts to connect the cover plate required the cover plate to be disassembled before hoisting, resulting in low efficiency when moving the metering box body, and improves the handling efficiency of the metering box body.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 - Figure 6An outdoor metering box is shown, including a metering box body 1. A support block 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the metering box body 1. There are two sets of support blocks 2 arranged symmetrically. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected inside the support block 2. A rotating rod 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 4. The rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected to one side of the support block 2. A cover plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 3. A ratchet 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 4 away from the rotating rod 3. The ratchet 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the support block 2 away from the rotating rod 3. A positioning block 6 is engaged with the outside of the ratchet 5. A support shaft 7 is rotatably connected inside the positioning block 6 away from the ratchet 5. The support shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the support block 2 near the ratchet 5. A limit sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the support block 2 near the rotating rod 3.
[0021] During operation, when hoisting the main body 1 of the metering box, the positioning block 6 can be rotated along the support shaft 7 to disengage from the ratchet 5. At this time, the rotating rod 3 can be rotated on one side of the support block 2 by the rotating shaft 4, thereby lowering the rotating rod 3. When the rotating rod 3 is lowered, the cover plate 13 will also be lowered, ensuring that the main body 1 of the metering box does not have a high suspended structure and ensuring the stability when hoisting the main body 1 of the metering box. After the main body 1 of the metering box is installed on the ground, the positioning block 6 can be placed on the outside of the ratchet 5, at which point the cover plate 13 and the rotating rod 3 can be rotated. When the required installation position is reached, the rotation of the rotating rod 3 and the cover plate 13 can be stopped, allowing the positioning block 6 to fix the ratchet 5, thereby ensuring that the rotating shaft 4 and the rotating rod 3 do not swing. The limiting sleeve 8 can prevent the rotating rod 3 from over-rotating, realizing the effect of controlling the angle of the cover plate 13 and adjusting the position of the cover plate 13. This solves the problem of the previous method of using bolts to connect the cover plate 13, which required the cover plate 13 to be disassembled before hoisting, resulting in low efficiency when moving the main body 1 of the metering box, thus improving the handling efficiency of the main body 1 of the metering box.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In the diagram, the limiting sleeve 8 is arranged in a fan shape. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the metering box body 1 away from the support block 2. A placement groove 10 is opened on the top of the support plate 9. An extrusion block 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the placement groove 10 near the top. There are two sets of extrusion blocks 11 arranged symmetrically. The opposite side of the extrusion blocks 11 is rounded. A support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 13 away from the rotating rod 3. The support frame 12 is inclined. The end of the support frame 12 away from the cover plate 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating rod 3. One side of the metering box body 1 is open. A door panel 14 is rotatably connected to the open side of the metering box body 1.
[0023] During operation, the limiting sleeve 8 has a fan-shaped structure that ensures the rotating rod 3 can rotate smoothly backward without tilting forward. After the rotating rod 3 is retracted, it can be placed inside the placement slot 10 opened in the support plate 9. The pressing block 11 can prevent the rotating rod 3 from detaching from the placement slot 10. The rounded corner structure of the pressing block 11 also ensures that the rotating rod 3 is smoothly installed inside the placement slot 10. When the rotating rod 3 supports the cover plate 13, it can be synchronously supported by the support frame 12, which ensures the stability of the cover plate 13 when it is opened, improves the stability of the rotating rod 3 after it is retracted, and ensures that the rotating rod 3 will not shake.
[0024] Working principle: When hoisting the main body 1 of the metering box, the positioning block 6 can be rotated along the support shaft 7, allowing it to disengage from the ratchet 5. At this point, the rotating rod 3 can be rotated on one side of the support block 2 by the rotating shaft 4, thus lowering the rotating rod 3. When the rotating rod 3 is lowered, the cover plate 13 will also be lowered, ensuring that the main body 1 of the metering box does not have a high suspended structure, thus ensuring stability during hoisting. After the main body 1 of the metering box is installed on the ground, the positioning block 6 can be placed on the outside of the ratchet 5, allowing the cover plate 13 and the rotating rod 3 to rotate. At the desired installation position, the rotation of the rotating rod 3 and the cover plate 13 can be stopped, allowing the positioning block 6 to fix the ratchet 5, thereby preventing the rotating shaft 4 and the rotating rod 3 from swinging. The limiting sleeve 8 prevents the rotating rod 3 from over-rotating, thus controlling the angle and adjusting the position of the cover plate 13. The effect solves the problem of low efficiency in handling the metering box body 1 when the previous method of bolting the cover plate 13 required disassembling the cover plate 13 for hoisting. The limiting sleeve 8 has a fan-shaped structure to ensure that the rotating rod 3 can rotate smoothly backward and will not tilt forward. After the rotating rod 3 is stored, it can be laid down inside the placement groove 10 opened in the support plate 9. The squeezing block 11 can prevent the rotating rod 3 from falling out of the placement groove 10. The rounded corner structure of the squeezing block 11 also ensures that the rotating rod 3 is smoothly installed inside the placement groove 10. When the rotating rod 3 supports the cover plate 13, it can be supported synchronously by the support frame 12 to ensure the stability of the cover plate 13 when it is opened and improve the stability of the rotating rod 3 after it is stored, ensuring that the rotating rod 3 will not shake.
