Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a modular design for quick replacement of an electricity meter, comprising an electricity meter 1. The side of the electricity meter 1 is provided with a guide plate block 2 for electrical connection. A guide plate block 3 is electrically connected to one side of the guide plate block 2. A snap fastener 4 is installed on the outside of the guide plate block 3 for snapping onto the outside of the guide plate block 2. A square guide plate 5 is electrically connected to one side of the guide plate block 3 via a wire or guide plate. A threaded adjusting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the square guide plate 5 via a bearing. A square guide plate 6 is sleeved on the top of the threaded adjusting rod 7. An internally threaded cylinder 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the square guide plate 6, and the internally threaded cylinder 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded adjusting rod 7.
[0025] An adjusting disc 9 is bolted to the top of the threaded adjusting rod 7; a base 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the square guide plate 5; the threaded adjusting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 10 via a bearing; a square outer frame 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 10; a positioning slot 14 is provided on the surface of the meter 1; the positioning slot 14 is located on the side of the guide plate block 2; and the square outer frame 11 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning slot 14.
[0026] Among them, a positioning post 13 is installed on the top of the guide plate block 12, and the positioning post 13 is snapped into the top of the square outer frame 11. Multiple insulating anti-slip strips 12 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the meter 1. A clamping type guide plate 15 is clamped between the square guide plate 15 and the square guide plate 26. An inclined suspension block 20 is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping type guide plate 15. The clamping type guide plate 15 is used for electrical connection of wires.
[0027] Among them, two clamping guide plates 15 form a group, and clamping guide plates 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping guide plates 15 in a cross shape. The two clamping guide plates 15 and the two clamping guide plates 16 are hinged by spring hinges 21. A conductor protrusion 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the clamping guide plate 16. The clamping guide plates 15, clamping guide plates 16 and conductor protrusion 17 are made of conductor material.
[0028] A U-shaped socket 18 for inserting a threaded adjusting rod 7 is provided in the middle of the clamping guide plate 15, and a prefabricated transverse groove 19 is provided in the middle of the clamping guide plate 15.
[0029] It should be noted that in actual use, the square outer frame 11 or the clamping guide plate 15 can be removed as needed. At this time, the combination of the clamping guide plate 15 and the clamping guide plate 26 forms a shape similar to a flat "scissors" or "clamp". The wire harness will be clamped between the two conductor protrusions 17 to ensure the stability and firmness of the electrical connection. The spring hinge 21 is designed to contain a torsion spring or spring, which can automatically pull the two clamping guide plates 26 to clamp the wire harness through the tension of the spring, thereby improving the convenience of wiring. During the installation process, the user only needs to insert the clamping guide plate 15 and the inclined suspension block 20 between the square guide plate 15 and the square guide plate 26 to form a quick connection using its conductive properties. This design not only simplifies the installation process, but also improves the operating efficiency. Especially when frequent replacement or adjustment is required, it can save time significantly. In addition, the spring hinge 21 can ensure that the wire harness will not loosen during use through its continuous elastic force, further improving the reliability and service life of the system.
[0030] The rotating adjustment disc 9 drives the threaded adjustment rod 7, which in turn moves the square guide plate 2 6 up and down within the inner cavity of the square outer frame 11. The square guide plate 1 5 serves as a fixing component. Through the threaded engagement between the threaded adjustment rod 7 and the inner threaded cylinder 8, the square guide plate 2 6 is pushed to move and further clamp the clamping guide plate 1 5, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the wire harness. When the square outer frame 11 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning slot 14, the user can further ensure the positioning and fixing of the entire device through the snap-fit device of the positioning post 13. During use, in order to increase stability, the system allows for secondary reinforcement. Secondary positioning is used to prevent the module from loosening or shifting. At the same time, the electrical connection part is formed by the contact of the guide plate block 1 2 and the guide plate block 2 3, similar to the "battery installation" operation mode, which greatly simplifies the installation process of the meter.
[0031] This modular meter structure, with its unique component combination, enables quick and convenient wiring and disassembly. In particular, the scissor-type clamping design of clamping guide plate 15 and clamping guide plate 26, combined with the spring structure of spring hinge 21, ensures the stability of the wiring harness and the reliability of the electrical connection during wiring. At the same time, the cooperation between threaded adjustment rod 7 and internal threaded cylinder 8 makes fine-tuning during wiring more precise. The clamping force can be flexibly adjusted by rotating adjustment disc 9 to ensure the stable performance of the meter in various application environments. Finally, the close-fitting electrical connection between guide plate block 12 and guide plate block 23 makes the installation and replacement of the entire system simpler and faster, suitable for scenarios requiring frequent maintenance and replacement. The entire design not only improves the service life of the equipment but also enhances the convenience and safety of actual operation.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
