Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meter box technology, specifically a meter box that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] An electricity meter, or energy meter, is used to measure the electricity consumption of a household or business, usually in kilowatt-hours. It comes in two types: analog and digital. It has the functions of accurate measurement, providing a basis for billing, and encouraging energy conservation. The meter box is the equipment that installs the electricity meter. It is used to measure electricity consumption and also has the functions of protecting the meter and circuit, managing and controlling electricity use, and regulating electricity use.

[0003] During the use of electricity meter boxes, the meters need to be inspected and maintained regularly, which requires opening the meter box periodically. However, since multiple meters are usually installed in the meter box, the internal layout of the meter box is relatively compact, making it difficult to perform convenient meter maintenance. In order to further improve the efficiency of meter maintenance, an easy-to-maintain meter box is provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, an easy-to-maintain meter box includes an outer shell 1. One end of the outer shell 1 is provided with a door panel 5 for dust protection and covering. Inside the outer shell 1, there is a support slide plate 4 for fixing and supporting the meter. Two guide plates 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the outer shell 1. The support slide plate 4 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the two guide plates 3. The outer shell 1 is provided with a moving mechanism for pushing the support slide plate 4 to move.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the meter needs maintenance, the door panel 5 is pulled to flip it over. At this time, the moving mechanism allows the support slide plate 4 to slide along the outer wall of the guide plate 3 as the door panel 5 rotates until the support slide plate 4 can push the meter to automatically move to the outside of the outer shell 1. This effectively avoids the phenomenon that it is difficult to conveniently maintain the meter due to the relatively compact layout of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0035] When the meter maintenance is completed, pull the door panel 5 to reverse the above operation, which will cause the support slide plate 4 to move and reset the meter, thereby further improving the efficiency of meter maintenance.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the moving mechanism includes a rotating assembly disposed on the housing 1;

[0037] The rotating assembly includes two second spur gears 209 symmetrically arranged inside the housing 1. The two second spur gears 209 are located at the upper and lower ends of the support slide plate 4, respectively. The outer walls of the two second spur gears 209 are meshed with a first spur gear 208. The first spur gear 208 and the second spur gear 209 are rotatably connected to the housing 1 through a rotating shaft.

[0038] Displacement components are provided on both the first spur gear 208 and the second spur gear 209;

[0039] The displacement assembly includes two sliding push plates 202, which are integrally formed on the outer walls of the first spur gear 208 and the second spur gear 209, respectively, and both sliding push plates 202 are slidably connected to the outer shell 1.

[0040] A movable component is provided on the sliding push plate 202;

[0041] The movable component is a limiting push rod 207 fixedly connected to one end of the sliding push plate 202 near the supporting slide plate 4. The limiting push rod 207 passes through the outer shell 1 to the inside of the supporting slide plate 4. An arc-shaped groove 2010 for the limiting push rod 207 to slide is provided at the junction of the outer shell 1 and the limiting push rod 207.

[0042] A limit component is provided on the support slide 4;

[0043] The limiting component is a linear groove 204 formed at the junction of the supporting slide plate 4 and the limiting push rod 207. The limiting push rod 207 is slidably connected to the linear groove 204. Through the cooperation of the rotating component, the displacement component, the moving component and the limiting component, the supporting slide plate 4 can be pushed to slide horizontally along the outer wall of the guide plate 3.

[0044] The outer casing 1 is provided with a first transmission assembly;

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the first transmission assembly includes two second transmission wheels 205 that are symmetrically connected to the inside of the outer casing 1 via a rotating axis. The two second transmission wheels 205 are located at the upper and lower ends of the door panel 5, respectively.

[0046] A connecting component is provided on the second drive wheel 205;

[0047] The connecting component is a connecting rod 201 fixedly connected to the second transmission wheel 205 near the door panel 5. The connecting rod 201 passes through the outer shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the door panel 5. The connecting rod 201 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1.

[0048] A second transmission assembly is provided on the second transmission wheel 205;

[0049] The second transmission component is a synchronous belt 206 meshing and sleeved on the outer wall of the second transmission wheel 205. The inner wall of the synchronous belt 206 away from the second transmission wheel 205 is meshed and sleeved with a first transmission wheel 203. The first transmission wheel 203 is located at the end of the second spur gear 209 away from the supporting slide plate 4. The first transmission wheel 203 and the second spur gear 209 are fixedly connected. Through the mutual cooperation of the first transmission component, the connecting component and the second transmission component, the second spur gear 209 can rotate synchronously as the door panel 5 flips.

[0050] The above embodiment discloses an easy-to-maintain meter box. When the meter needs maintenance, the door panel 5 is pulled and flipped around the connecting rod 201. At this time, the second transmission wheel 205 rotates under the drive of the door panel 5 through the connecting rod 201. At the same time, the first transmission wheel 203 rotates synchronously under the meshing drive of the second transmission wheel 205 through the synchronous belt 206. At this time, the second spur gear 209 drives the first spur gear 208 to rotate through meshing under the drive of the first transmission wheel 203. At the same time, the two sliding push plates 202 move inside the outer shell 1 under the drive of the first spur gear 208 and the second spur gear 209, respectively. At this time, the limiting push rod 207 slides along the inner wall of the straight slide groove 204 and the arc-shaped slide groove 2010 under the drive of the sliding push plate 202. In this way, the supporting slide plate 4 can be automatically displaced by the limiting push rod 207.

[0051] At this time, the support slide plate 4 slides along the outer wall of the guide plate 3 through the straight slide groove 204 under the drive of the limit push rod 207 until both limit push rods 207 are in contact with the inner wall of one end of the arc slide groove 2010. This allows the support slide plate 4 to push the meter to automatically move to the outside of the outer shell 1, thus effectively avoiding the phenomenon that it is difficult to conveniently maintain the meter due to the relatively compact layout of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0052] When the meter maintenance is completed, pulling the door panel 5 reverses the above operation, which allows the support slide plate 4 to move and reset the meter, thereby further improving the efficiency of meter maintenance.

[0053] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
