Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electricity meters, and in particular to an anti-theft electricity meter. Background Technology

[0002] An electricity meter, also known as a kilowatt-hour meter, is an instrument used to measure electrical energy. It measures various electrical quantities. With the increasing demand for electricity, some users resort to various methods of electricity theft to reduce or avoid their bills. This not only causes economic losses to power supply companies but may also affect grid quality and user safety. Anti-theft electricity meters operate on basic electrical principles, calculating user energy consumption by measuring current and voltage. They also use a built-in microprocessor to analyze the data and detect any illegal energy access. Once illegal activity is detected, the meter automatically cuts off power to prevent further theft and saves a detailed record of any unauthorized use. For example, a novel anti-theft single-phase electronic energy meter, as proposed in existing technology publication CN216485208U, includes a protective box. Mounting plates are fixed to both end walls of the protective box, and a meter is fixed to the inner rear wall of the protective box. A glass window is fixed to the outer front wall of the protective box at a position corresponding to the meter. A junction box is located at the bottom of the meter, and a sealing plate is connected to the outer front wall of the junction box via a hinge. An identification component is located at the bottom of the outer front wall of the sealing plate, and a locking component is located at the bottom of the outer rear wall of the sealing plate. However, most existing electronic meters are integrated inside a single box, making them easy to open for wire theft and reducing the security of the electronic meter. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-theft energy meter that can ensure stable connection, prevent electricity thieves from forcibly prying it open, and improve the security of electronic meter use.

[0004] This utility model discloses an anti-theft electricity meter, comprising an electricity meter body, a control box, a control component, a mounting component, and a magnetic fixing component. The electricity meter body is fixedly connected to the front end of the control box. The control component is installed inside the control box, and the mounting component is located at the rear of the control box. The magnetic fixing component is installed between the mounting component and the control box. A wiring component is installed inside the control box. The wiring component facilitates wiring, the mounting component is fixed in the usage position, and the control box is installed on the mounting component. The magnetic fixing component ensures connection and prevents electricity thieves from forcibly prying it open. The control component can cut off power to protect the electricity meter body if the control box is opened, thereby achieving the function of electricity theft protection.

[0005] Preferably, the control components include a controller, an alarm, and a wireless connector. The controller and alarm are installed on the left and right sides inside the control box, and the wireless connector is installed on the upper side inside the control box. The wireless connector enables the device to communicate wirelessly, and transmits information to the central control console in a timely manner after detecting an anomaly, so that the electrician can handle it in time. The controller can control the device, and the alarm can emit an alarm light to help the user discover it in time.

[0006] Preferably, the wiring components include a wiring block and a wire sleeve. The wiring block is installed inside the lower side of the control box, and the wire sleeve is installed on the lower side of the right outer wall of the control box. The wires are easily connected by passing through the wire sleeve and the wiring block, and the wire sleeve helps to protect the inside of the control box while preventing excess cables from being inserted.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a mounting backplate, two fixing plates, and two locking nuts. The mounting backplate is located behind the control box and has multiple mounting holes. Fixing plates are mounted at both the top and bottom of the mounting backplate, and fixing holes are also provided at both the top and bottom of the control box. The locking nuts pass through the fixing holes and are threadedly connected to the fixing plates. The multiple mounting holes on the mounting backplate facilitate fixing it to the desired position, making it suitable for different installation environments. The control box is then inserted into the mounting backplate, and the locking nuts are rotated to connect it to the fixing plates, thus installing the control box on the mounting backplate for convenient use.

[0008] Preferably, the magnetic fixing assembly includes two metal plates and an electromagnet. The two metal plates are installed at the end of the fixing plate away from the mounting back plate, and the electromagnet is installed on the upper inner wall of the control box at a position corresponding to the metal plates. After the control box is connected to the mounting back plate, the electromagnet is energized and attracts the metal plates, preventing thieves from unscrewing the locking nut to disassemble the control box and improving the anti-theft effect.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a sensor, with the sensor installed at the lower end of the inner wall of the control box corresponding to the position of the metal plate; after installation, the metal plate blocks the sensor so that the device will not alarm. When unauthorized personnel forcibly dismantle the control box, the sensor will automatically activate and transmit information to the controller, thereby enabling timely alarm.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes multiple support columns, multiple rubber pads, and multiple threaded seats. Support columns are fixedly installed at the four corners of the rear wall of the mounting back plate, rubber pads are installed on the outer wall of the support columns, and multiple threaded seats are installed at the bottom of the control box. The support columns and rubber pads can make contact with the mounting surface after the mounting back plate is installed in the use position, which has a certain insulation effect and improves the friction. At the same time, the threaded seats at the bottom can install the bottom of the control box, improving the convenience of installation.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the wiring component facilitates wiring, the installation component is fixed in the use position, the control box is installed on the installation component, the magnetic fixing component can ensure the connection and prevent electricity thieves from forcibly prying it open, and the control component can cut off the power to protect the main body of the electricity meter after the control box is opened, thereby achieving the function of electricity theft protection.
