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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 The diagram shows a securely wired electricity metering box, comprising a box body 1 and a box cover 2 hinged to the box body 1. The bottom end of the box body 1 is symmetrically provided with inlet and outlet holes 17. The inner walls of the two inlet and outlet holes 17 are fixedly connected to discs 3. Both discs 3 are provided with a wire threading mechanism, which includes studs 4 and multiple wire threading grooves 10. The multiple wire threading grooves 10 are arranged in a ring around the center of the discs 3 and are opened through the upper edge of the discs 3. The inner walls of the multiple wire threading grooves 10 near the center of the discs 3 are provided with rectangular grooves 12. The inner walls of the multiple rectangular grooves 12 near the center of the discs 3 are attached with rectangular plates 15. The studs 4 are fixedly connected to the upper center of the discs 3, and a linkage mechanism is provided between the studs 4 and the multiple rectangular plates 15.

[0020] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The linkage mechanism shown in the figure includes an internally threaded tube 5, which is threaded onto the upper edge of the outer wall of the stud 4. The lower end of the internally threaded tube 5 is rotatably connected to a collar 6, which is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the stud 4. The outer wall of the collar 6 is rotatably connected to multiple support rods 7 in a circular array around its center. The ends of the multiple support rods 7 away from the collar 6 are rotatably connected to T-shaped blocks 14. The multiple T-shaped blocks 14 are slidably disposed in the upper inner wall of the disc 3. The ends of the multiple T-shaped blocks 14 away from the stud 4 are fixedly connected to connecting posts 9. The multiple connecting posts 9 are slidably disposed in the inner wall of the disc 3. The ends of the multiple connecting posts 9 away from the stud 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the wall surface of multiple rectangular plates 15 near the stud 4.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the figure, the upper end of the disc 3 is provided with T-shaped grooves 8 corresponding to multiple T-shaped blocks 14, and the multiple T-shaped grooves 8 slide with the multiple T-shaped blocks 14 respectively.

[0022] Please see Figure 4 In the figure, the inner wall of the disc 3 is provided with columnar grooves 16 corresponding to multiple connecting columns 9. The multiple columnar grooves 16 are slidably engaged with the multiple connecting columns 9. The columnar grooves 16 are connected to the T-shaped grooves 8 and the wire grooves 10.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the diagram, rectangular rubber pads 11 are fixedly connected to the walls of multiple rectangular plates 15 away from the studs 4. Specifically, the rectangular rubber pads 11 and the wires rely on the friction between them to make the rectangular plates 15 clamp the wires more securely.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 In the figure, the outer wall of the internally threaded tube 5 is provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 13 arranged in a ring around its center; specifically, the anti-slip grooves 13 can increase the friction between the fingers and the internally threaded tube 5, so that the internally threaded tube 5 has a good anti-slip effect when rotating.

[0025] Working principle: First, open the cover 2 on the housing 1. Then, pass multiple wires through the multiple wire slots 10 on the disc 3 of one of the inlet / outlet holes 17 into the housing 1 and connect them to the terminals of the power metering device inside the housing 1. Then, rotate the internal threaded tube 5 corresponding to the disc 3 downwards. The internal threaded tube 5 will rotate downwards on the outer wall of the stud 4 on the disc 3, and the internal threaded tube 5 will drive the collar 6 to slide downwards on the outer wall of the stud 4 (during this process, the internal threaded tube 5 will rotate at the upper end of the collar 6). The collar 6 will drive the multiple support rods 7 on it to move downwards. The ends of the multiple support rods 7 away from the collar 6 will move away from the stud 4 and drive the T-shaped blocks 14 on them to move (during this process, the multiple support rods 7 will also rotate between the collar 6 and their corresponding T-shaped blocks 14). The multiple T-shaped blocks 14 will... The components slide away from the center point of the disk 3 in the T-shaped groove 8 on their respective disks 3. The multiple T-shaped blocks 14 will drive the connecting columns 9 on their respective disks 3 to slide away from the center point of the disk 3 in the cylindrical groove 16 on their respective disks 3. The multiple connecting columns 9 will drive the rectangular plates 15 on their respective disks 12 to slide away from the center point of the disk 3 in the corresponding rectangular groove 12. The multiple rectangular plates 15 will drive the rectangular rubber pads 11 on their respective disks to move closer to the wires in their respective wire slots 10 until the rectangular rubber pads 11 and the wires are tightly attached. Then the wires can be clamped and fixed between the rectangular rubber pads 11, the rectangular grooves 12 and the inner wall of the inlet and outlet holes 17. At this time, the rotation of the internal thread tube 5 can be stopped. Similarly, the wires in the other inlet and outlet holes 17 can also be clamped and fixed in the same way. Finally, the box cover 2 can be closed. The operation is simple.

[0026] It should be noted that the multiple wires in the two inlet and outlet holes 17 of this metering box can be clamped and fixed simultaneously. The clamping operation is simple and avoids the problem of loosening of the wiring inside the electricity metering box due to vibration or shaking of the exposed wires. This helps to ensure electrical safety and metering accuracy.

[0027] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
