[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] A meter head mounting structure is provided for fixing the meter head 1 inside an electric meter cabinet. The electric meter cabinet has a cabinet panel 2, which serves as a decorative panel to conceal the internal structure and improve the aesthetics of the cabinet. A slot 2-1 is provided on the cabinet panel 2, through which the meter head 1 is fixed. By fixing the meter head 1 to the cabinet panel 2, a guide rail for mounting the meter head 1 is eliminated, thus reducing the production cost of the electric meter cabinet. Furthermore, directly engaging the meter head 1 with the slot 2-1 eliminates the need for mounting the meter head 1 on a guide rail via the slot 2-1, improving installation convenience and ensuring a closer fit between the meter head 1 and the slot 2-1, further enhancing the aesthetics of the electric meter cabinet.

[0024] A snap-fit ​​step is provided on the side wall of the meter head 1, and a snap-fit ​​surface 1-1 is formed on the snap-fit ​​step. The snap-fit ​​surface 1-1 abuts against the front end face of the meter cabinet plate 2. A meter head snap-fit ​​part 3 is installed on the outer side wall of the meter head 1. The end face of the meter head snap-fit ​​part 3 abuts against the rear end face of the meter cabinet plate 2. That is, a snap-fit ​​groove for snapping the meter cabinet plate 2 is formed between the end face of the meter head snap-fit ​​part 3 and the snap-fit ​​surface 1-1, so that the meter head 1 is snapped into the slot 2-1 of the meter cabinet plate 2 through the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0025] In some alternative embodiments, the meter head clip 3 is directly fixed to the side wall of the meter head 1 by screws. When the meter head clip 3 is fixed, the clip surface 1-1 and the end face of the meter head clip 3 respectively abut against the front and rear end faces of the meter cabinet plate 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the meter head latch 3 can be slidably installed on the side wall of the meter head 1. By sliding the meter head latch 3, the latching surface 1-1 and the end face of the meter head latch 3 are respectively abutted against the two end faces of the meter cabinet plate 2.

[0027] To facilitate the sliding of the meter head latch 3 on the side wall of the meter head 1 and to prevent the meter head latch 3 from falling off the meter head 1, the meter head latch 3 is slidably installed at the corner of the meter head 1. Two guide strips 3-6 are provided on the inner wall of the meter head latch 3, and guide grooves 1-3 are provided on the two vertical side walls at the corner of the meter head 1. The guide strips 3-6 are slidably installed within the guide grooves 1-3. The guide strips 3-6 are perpendicular to the side wall of the meter head 1, so that the distance between the ends of the two guide strips 3-6 is less than the distance between the side walls of the meter head 1 at the location of the guide grooves 1-3, thereby preventing the meter head latch 3 from falling off the meter head 1.

[0028] To facilitate locking the meter head 1 and meter cabinet plate 2 via the meter head latching component 3, a limiting tooth 1-2 is provided on the outer wall of the meter head 1. Correspondingly, a guide tooth 3-1 is provided on the meter head latching component 3. The guide tooth 3-1 is adapted to the limiting tooth 1-2. That is, by engaging the guide tooth 3-1 and the limiting tooth 1-2, the meter head latching component 3 is locked to the outside of the meter head 1, thereby achieving the locking of the meter head 1 and meter cabinet plate 2.

[0029] To ensure the locking stability of meter head 1 and meter cabinet plate 2, the limiting teeth 1-2 are inclined toward meter cabinet plate 2, so that meter head latching part 3 can only move toward latching surface 1-1 during adjustment, preventing meter head latching part 3 from retracting after meter head 1 and meter cabinet plate 2 are locked, which would cause meter head 1 and meter cabinet plate 2 to loosen and separate.

[0030] The meter head connector 3 includes a first connecting plate 3-7 and a second connecting plate 3-8 arranged perpendicularly to each other. Two guide strips 3-6 are respectively connected to the first connecting plate 3-7 and the second connecting plate 3-8. A connecting arm 3-2 is provided at the connection between the first connecting plate 3-7 and the second connecting plate 3-8. Guide teeth 3-1 are arranged at the end of the connecting arm 3-2. Correspondingly, limiting teeth 1-2 are arranged at the corner of the meter head 1. The connecting arm 3-2 has a bent portion 3-3 facing the limiting teeth 1-2, and the guide teeth 3-1 are arranged on the bent portion 3-3.

[0031] Support arms 3-4 are respectively provided on the first connecting plate 3-7 and the second connecting plate 3-8. The support arms 3-4 are set facing the end face of the snap-fit ​​surface 1-1 and are used to engage with the snap-fit ​​surface 1-1 to snap the meter cabinet plate 2. The support arms 3-4 are inclined relative to the snap-fit ​​surface 1-1, and there is a deformation gap 3-5 between the support arms 3-4 and the meter head snap-fit ​​part 3. Since there is a certain gap between the adjacent teeth of the guide teeth 3-1 and the limiting teeth 1-2, it is easy for the width of the slot formed between the end face of the meter head snap-fit ​​part 3 and the snap-fit ​​surface 1-1 to be greater than the thickness of the meter cabinet plate 2 after the guide teeth 3-1 and the limiting teeth 1-2 are snapped, which leads to the meter head 1 being unstable in installation. The support arms 3-4 undergo elastic deformation to ensure that the support arms 3-4 can stably abut against the end face of the meter cabinet plate 2, thereby improving the installation stability of the meter head 1.

[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention; therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0033] Although this document uses many terms corresponding to the reference numerals in the figures, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded; these terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any kind of additional limitation would be contrary to the spirit of this utility model.
