Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter base technology, and in particular to a novel smart electricity meter base. Background Technology

[0002] A smart electricity meter is an advanced electricity metering device that integrates modern sensing technology, communication technology, microprocessor technology, and software algorithms. It can not only accurately measure a user's electricity consumption, but also realize a variety of intelligent functions such as remote meter reading, real-time monitoring, two-way communication, load analysis, and anomaly alarms.

[0003] Currently, the output terminals of smart meter bases are all fixed, which means that different meters need to be configured with compatible meter bases, making it impossible to adapt to different models or specifications of meters.

[0004] For example, CN223346941U describes a single-phase smart energy meter base. By rotating the threaded cap on the threaded rod and pulling the threaded cap, the connecting component is moved horizontally. The connecting component moves the connecting terminal horizontally through the wire terminal. It can quickly adjust the connecting terminal according to the different models of energy meters to achieve compatibility with different energy meter models. However, the spacing adjustment component of this comparative patent is too slow during the adjustment process. During the operation of connecting the terminal and the socket of the energy meter, it cannot quickly adjust and complete the connection. At the same time, when the wire passes through the connecting through hole in the comparative patent, it is easy to shake due to friction, and the process of passing through is not fast.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of smart energy meter base to solve the problems of insufficiently rapid adjustment of terminal spacing and slow passage of wires through the connection hole due to friction. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel smart energy meter base.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel smart energy meter base, comprising a base, an energy meter body, a drive assembly, a movable plate, a first sliding groove, and a sliding column;

[0008] The drive assembly is mounted on the base and is used to move the movable plate back and forth.

[0009] One end of the movable plate is mounted on the drive assembly, and the first slide groove is provided on the movable plate. At the same time, the slide column is slidably connected in the first slide groove, and a moving block is fixedly connected to the end of the slide column away from the first slide groove.

[0010] The movable block is provided with a wiring hole for threading wires, and a connection terminal for connecting to the power meter socket is fixedly connected to the movable block directly in front of the wiring hole.

[0011] The movable block has hollow slots on its upper and lower sides. An assistive component for guiding the movement of the line is installed in the hollow slot. The assistive component includes a telescopic rod, a connecting plate, a pulley, and a return spring. The telescopic rod is fixed in the hollow slot. The end of the telescopic rod away from the hollow slot is fixed to the connecting plate. A pulley for reducing the resistance of the line movement is rotatably connected to the connecting plate. At the same time, the pulley passes through the directional holes set on the upper and lower sides of the wiring hole. A return spring for adaptively adjusting the position of the pulley according to the line width is sleeved on the telescopic rod. At the same time, the two ends of the return spring are fixed to the hollow slot and the connecting plate respectively.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The drive assembly includes a partition, a threaded rod, a hexagonal plate, and a threaded block. The partition is fixed to one side of the base, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the partition. At the same time, the end of the threaded rod away from the partition is fixed to the hexagonal plate, and the threaded rod is threaded through and connected to the threaded block, which is fixed to the movable plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A limiting plate is fixed to one end of the base away from the drive assembly, and a first sliding rod is fixed to the limiting plate. The first sliding rod limits the movement of the movable plate through a through-sliding connecting block, and the connecting block is fixed to the movable plate.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The base is provided with a guide groove, and the guide groove limits and guides the movement of the moving block through an internal sliding slider. At the same time, the end of the slider away from the guide groove is fixed to the bottom of the moving block.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The base has a second sliding groove on both sides of its inner wall, and a second sliding rod is fixed to both sides of the energy meter body. The second sliding rod is slidably connected to the second sliding groove.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The meter body is tightly attached to the inner wall of the base, and the meter body is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the base.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The electricity meter body has four sets of sockets, and the four sets of sockets are evenly distributed on the electricity meter body.

[0024] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0025] The base has an observation port at its rear end, which is used to observe the position of the connection terminal and the socket on the electricity meter body.

[0026] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] In this invention, the rotation of the threaded rod drives the threaded block to move, and the movement of the threaded block drives the movable plate to move back and forth, thereby causing the sliding column to slide in the first sliding groove. This drives multiple sets of moving blocks and their front-end connecting terminals to accurately align with the sockets in different types of energy meters. This allows for quick adjustment of the position of the connecting terminals according to the position of the socket, significantly simplifying wiring operations during installation and maintenance and improving work efficiency.

[0028] In this invention, hollow grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the moving block, with built-in assist components. The pulleys pass through the upper and lower holes of the wiring hole, effectively guiding the wires through and reducing frictional resistance during movement. This facilitates the quick insertion of the wires into the wiring hole. At the same time, the return spring can adaptively adjust the position of the pulleys according to the cable diameter, avoiding damage to or excessive pulling of the wires, thus improving the safety and service life of the circuit.

[0036] Figure 1-3 This disclosure includes a cross-sectional view, an enlarged view, and a rear perspective view of the movable block of a novel smart energy meter base. See also... Figure 1-3 In this embodiment, each module (device, component, etc.) will be discussed in detail.

[0037] A novel smart energy meter base includes a base 1, an energy meter body 2, a drive assembly 3, a movable plate 4, a first sliding groove 5, and a sliding column 6;

[0038] The drive component 3 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to drive the movable plate 4 to move back and forth;

[0039] One end of the movable plate 4 is mounted on the drive assembly 3, and the first slide groove 5 is provided on the movable plate 4. At the same time, the slide column 6 is slidably connected in the first slide groove 5, and the end of the slide column 6 away from the first slide groove 5 is fixedly connected to the moving block 7.

[0040] The movable block 7 is provided with a wiring hole 8 for threading wires, and a connection terminal 9 for connecting to the power meter socket is fixedly connected to the movable block 7 directly in front of the wiring hole 8.

[0041] Hollow slots 10 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the movable block 7, and an assist component 11 for guiding the movement of the line is installed in the hollow slots 10.

[0042] The drive assembly 3 includes a partition 31, a threaded rod 32, a hexagonal plate 33, and a threaded block 34. The partition 31 is fixed to one side of the base 1, and the threaded rod 32 is rotatably connected to the partition 31. At the same time, the end of the threaded rod 32 away from the partition 31 is fixed to the hexagonal plate 33, and the threaded rod 32 is threaded through the threaded block 34, which is fixed to the movable plate 4.

[0043] The assist component 11 includes a telescopic rod 1101, a connecting plate 1102, a pulley 1103, and a return spring 1104. The telescopic rod 1101 is fixedly connected to the hollow groove 10. The end of the telescopic rod 1101 away from the hollow groove 10 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1102. The pulley 1103 for reducing the resistance of line movement is rotatably connected on the connecting plate 1102. At the same time, the pulley 1103 passes through the directional holes provided on the upper and lower sides of the wiring hole 8.

[0044] The telescopic rod 1101 is fitted with a return spring 1104 for adaptively adjusting the position of the pulley 1103 according to the width of the line. At the same time, the two ends of the return spring 1104 are fixed to the hollow groove 10 and the connecting plate 1102 respectively.

[0045] Further: There are four sets of first slide groove 5 and moving block 7 (the number of sets of first slide groove 5 and moving block 7 can be set according to the number of electricity meter sockets). The four sets of first slide groove 5 and moving block 7 are evenly distributed on the movable plate 4 and the base 1 respectively. At the same time, there are six sets of telescopic rod 1101, connecting plate 1102, pulley 1103 and return spring 1104 in one set of moving block 7.

[0046] Working principle: First, based on the distance between the equidistant sets of sockets on the electricity meter body 2, adjust the spacing between the multiple sets of connecting terminals 9. Then, use a tool to rotate the hexagonal plate 33. The rotation of the hexagonal plate 33 drives the threaded rod 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded block 34 to move back and forth. The movement of the threaded block 34 drives the movable plate 4 to move back and forth, which in turn causes the sliding column 6 to slide within the first sliding groove 5. The sliding column 6 then drives the multiple sets of moving blocks 7 to move, thus adjusting the spacing. The movement of the moving blocks 7 drives the connecting terminals 9 to move. Therefore, the spacing between the multiple sets of connecting terminals 9 can be adjusted according to the distance between the multiple sets of sockets on the electricity meter body 2, so that the connecting terminals 9 are located directly behind the sockets, making it easy for the connecting terminals 9 to be inserted into the electricity meter body. When the wire passes through the wiring hole 8 in the socket of the body 2, its upper and lower sides are guided by the assist component 11 in the hollow groove 10. The pulley 1103 in the assist component 11 will rotate freely with the movement of the wire, which significantly reduces frictional resistance and facilitates quick passage through the wiring hole 8. In addition, the position of the pulley 1103 can be adaptively adjusted by the compression of the wire by the telescopic rod 1101 and the connecting plate 1102. Thus, the upper and lower positions of the pulley 1103 can be automatically adjusted according to the thickness of the wire to achieve adaptive clamping and guidance, avoiding damage to the cable. After a series of wiring preparations are completed, the energy meter body 2 can be slid into the base 1, and the second slide rod 18 slides into the second slide groove 17. The connecting terminal 9 is connected to the socket on the energy meter body 2 to complete the wiring operation.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the base 1 away from the drive assembly 3, and a first sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 12. At the same time, the first sliding rod 13 limits the movement of the movable plate 4 through a through sliding connecting block 14, and the connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 4.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown: The limiting plate 12 is provided in two sets. The front and rear ends of the first slide rod 13 are respectively fixed to the two sets of limiting plates 12, which are used to install the first slide rod 13 on the base 1.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a guide groove 15, and the guide groove 15 limits and guides the movement of the moving block 7 through the internal sliding slider 16. At the same time, the end of the slider 16 away from the guide groove 15 is fixed to the bottom of the moving block 7.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the inner walls of both sides of the base 1 are provided with second sliding grooves 17, and the two sides of the energy meter body 2 are fixedly connected with second sliding rods 18. The second sliding rods 18 are slidably connected to the second sliding grooves 17. The energy meter body 2 is in close contact with the inner wall of the base 1 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 1. The energy meter body 2 is provided with four sets of sockets, and the four sets of sockets are evenly distributed on the energy meter body 2.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown: the second slide groove 17 is provided on the left and right inner walls of the base 1, and the length of the second slide rod 18 is the same as the length of the electricity meter body 2, which is used to install the electricity meter body 2 into the base 1.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment, the rear end of the base 1 is provided with an observation port for observing the position of the connection terminal 9 and the socket on the electricity meter body 2.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown: The length of the observation port is greater than the maximum distance that the left and right outer moving blocks 7 can move outward, to prevent the moving blocks 7 from moving outward to a position that cannot be observed through the observation port.
