[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an anti-theft power metering cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a hinged plate 2, and an anti-theft module. One side of the cabinet body 1 is provided with a hinged plate 2 for sealing the cabinet body 1. Two sets of anti-theft modules are symmetrically installed laterally on the hinged plate 2 near the cabinet body 1 to prevent the cabinet body 1 from being opened arbitrarily. Fixing strips 105 are symmetrically installed at the corners of the inner side of the cabinet body 1 near the hinged plate 2. Multiple sets of fixing holes 106 are linearly spaced on the side of the fixing strips 105 away from the cabinet body 1. The anti-theft module includes a rectangular slide rail 301. A rectangular slide groove 302 is provided below the rectangular slide rail 301. A threaded rod 303 is transversely inserted through the inner side of the rectangular slide groove 302 on the rectangular slide rail 301. A rectangular threaded sleeve 305 is fitted around the threaded rod 303. A support rod 306 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rectangular threaded sleeve 305. A fixing post 307 is installed on the side of the support rod 306 near the fixing strip 105, corresponding to the fixing hole 106.

[0022] Please see Figures 2-3 In this embodiment, a connecting shaft 101 is installed on the side of the cabinet 1 near the opening and closing plate 2. Multiple sets of strip holes 102 are symmetrically opened longitudinally on both sides of the cabinet 1. The strip holes 102 can be used for ventilation and heat dissipation to prevent heat accumulation inside the cabinet 1. A camera 103 is installed on one edge of the upper end of the cabinet 1. An alarm light 104 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1 on one side of the camera 103. The camera 103 can record people who linger around the cabinet 1 multiple times to take preventative measures. The opening and closing plate 2 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1 through the connecting shaft 101. Pulling the handle 202 will cause the opening and closing plate 2 to rotate and open through the connecting shaft 101. A handle 202 is installed on the side of the opening and closing plate 2 away from the cabinet 1. A fingerprint reader 201 (model LKG-FS50) is fixedly connected to the opening and closing plate 2 above the handle 202. The fingerprint reader 201 is electrically connected to the alarm light 104. If an incorrect fingerprint is detected, the alarm light 104 will be activated to sound an alarm.

[0023] Please see Figure 4In this embodiment, a motor 304 is installed at one end of the threaded rod 303. The motor 304 is electrically connected to the fingerprint reader 201. When the operator presses his finger on the fingerprint reader 201 and confirms that it is correct, the threaded rod 303 rotates under the drive of the motor 304. The fixed post 307 drives the support rod 306 to be positioned and engaged with the fixed strip 105 through the fixed hole 106. The rectangular threaded sleeve 305 drives the support rod 306 to move laterally. The fixed post 307 drives the support rod 306 to be positioned and engaged with the fixed strip 105 through the fixed hole 106.

[0024] During operation, the operator places their finger on the fingerprint reader 201. After confirmation, the motor 304 drives the threaded rod 303 to rotate, causing the rectangular threaded sleeve 305 to move the support rod 306 laterally along the rectangular slide groove 302 below the rectangular slide rail 301. This moves the fixing post 307 out of the fixing strip 105. If an incorrect fingerprint is detected, the alarm light 104 will be activated. Then, the handle 202 is pulled, and the opening plate 2 rotates and opens via the connecting shaft 101 to the cabinet 1, allowing the electrical components to be opened sequentially. After placement, the hinged plate 2 closes, and then the threaded rod 303 rotates under the drive of the motor 304. The rectangular threaded sleeve 305 drives the support rod 306 to move laterally. The fixing column 307 drives the support rod 306 to be positioned and engaged with the fixing strip 105 through the fixing hole 106, which can reinforce the anti-theft area where the hinged plate 2 and the cabinet 1 are attached. The camera 103 can record people who loiter around the cabinet 1 multiple times, so as to take preventive measures in advance. The strip hole 102 can be used for ventilation and heat dissipation to prevent heat accumulation inside the cabinet 1.

[0025] Through the above steps, the hinged plate 2 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1, thus closing the cabinet 1. Then, the anti-theft module reinforces the connection between the hinged plate 2 and the cabinet 1. This method significantly enhances the security performance of the power metering cabinet, effectively preventing criminals from maliciously damaging and illegally stealing power metering cabinets using various means. This not only ensures the accuracy and integrity of power metering data but also strongly guarantees the stable operation of the power system and high-quality power supply, further reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by vandalism and theft. This provides a solid guarantee for the stable development of the social economy and the normal electricity use of people's lives, addressing the problem that existing power metering cabinet locks are generally simple and easily opened by criminals for electricity theft, which can also lead to safety accidents.
