Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of smart energy meter transport and storage boxes, and in particular to a smart energy meter transport and storage box. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of smart grid construction, smart meters, as key metering devices, are being deployed and replaced on a large scale. During production, calibration, transportation, and on-site installation, smart meters require frequent handling and temporary storage. Due to their integrated high-precision electronic components and display modules, their intricate structure and fragile surfaces place high demands on the stability and protection of the storage environment.
[0003] However, existing electricity meter transport and storage boxes mostly use simple partitions or foam filling for fixation, which has the following shortcomings: First, it is difficult to effectively buffer vibration and impact during transportation, which can easily lead to loosening or damage to the internal components of the meter; second, the meter makes rigid contact with the box when being installed or removed, which is not only inconvenient and inefficient, but also easily causes scratches on the outer shell or deformation of the wiring terminals, affecting the appearance and performance of the equipment. In addition, traditional storage boxes lack convenient access structures, and workers often need to bend over and reach into the box to operate, especially in batch operation scenarios, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a smart energy meter transport and storage box that can provide reliable clamping and buffering protection while enabling fast and stable storage and retrieval, so as to improve logistics efficiency and ensure the safety of precision electronic equipment.

[0037] A smart electricity meter transport and storage box includes a box body 1, a placement plate 2, a side plate 3, a partition 4, a square grooved rod 5, a clamping assembly 6, and an electricity meter body 9;
[0038] The placement plate 2 is slidably connected to the inside of the box 1;
[0039] The side plate 3 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of side plates 3 are respectively fixed to the left and right ends of the placement plate 2;
[0040] The partition 4 is fixed to the middle position of the placement plate 2;
[0041] The square groove rod 5 is installed on the side plate 3 and the partition plate 4;
[0042] The clamping assembly 6 is located inside the square groove rod 5. The clamping assembly 6 is equipped with a clamping plate 7 for clamping and fixing the meter body 9. A pulley 8 is rotatably connected through the clamping plate 7, which facilitates the removal and placement of the meter body 9 on the placement plate 2. The pulley 8 rolls on the surface of the meter body 9.
[0043] Furthermore, several sets of pulleys 8 are provided, and these sets of pulleys 8 are evenly distributed on the clamping plate 7. At the same time, several sets of meter bodies 9 are provided, and these sets of meter bodies 9 are arranged in a front-to-back manner on the placement plate 2.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a sliding groove 16, and the sliding groove 16 limits and guides the lifting and lowering of the side plate 3 through the internal sliding second slider 17. At the same time, the end of the second slider 17 away from the sliding groove 16 is fixed to a set of side plates 3. Both the side plate 3 and the partition 4 are fixed with telescopic columns 18 for limiting and guiding the movement of the clamping plate 7, and the end of the telescopic column 18 away from the side plate 3 and the partition 4 is fixed to the clamping plate 7. There are four sets of telescopic columns 18 on the set of side plates 3 and clamping plate 7, and the four sets of telescopic columns 18 are evenly installed on the side plate 3 and clamping plate 7.
[0045] like Figure 1As shown: the slide groove 16 and the second slider 17 are located on the left side of the box 1, and the second slider 17 can slide in the slide groove 16 as the placement plate 2 and the side plate 3 rise and fall, thereby limiting the rise and fall of the placement plate 2 and the side plate 3 and keeping them stable.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly 6 includes a telescopic rod 61, a first slider 62, a return spring 63, and a support connecting rod 64. The telescopic rod 61 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of telescopic rods 61 are respectively fixed to both ends of the square groove rod 5. The first slider 62 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod 61 away from the square groove rod 5. At the same time, the return spring 63 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 61, and the two ends of the return spring 63 are respectively fixed to the square groove rod 5 and the first slider 62. The support connecting rod 64 is hinged to the first slider 62, and the end of the support connecting rod 64 away from the first slider 62 is hinged to the clamping plate 7. The first slider 62 is slidably connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the square groove rod 5. At the same time, the two sets of support connecting rods 64 are arranged in an alternating manner.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown: The return spring 63 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 61. One end of it is fixed to the inner wall of the square groove rod 5, and the other end is fixed to the first slider 62. When the clamping plate 7 is compressed inward by an external force, the return spring 63 is compressed and stores energy. When the external force is removed, the return spring 63 automatically rebounds and pushes the clamping plate 7 to reset, so as to continuously clamp the meter body 9.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, connecting plates 10 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the housing 1, and an active connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting plates 10. At the same time, a sealing cover plate 12 for sealing the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the active connecting rod 11. A drive gear 13 is fixedly connected through the active connecting rod 11, and a driven rack 14 is meshed with the drive gear 13. The driven rack 14 is fixedly connected to the side plate 3 through the connecting rod 15, and is used to drive the placement plate 2 to move up and down. The drive gear 13 is rotatably connected through the housing 1, and the driven rack 14 is slidably connected through a groove provided in the housing 1. The connecting rod 15 is also connected through a groove provided in the housing 1.
[0049] like Figures 3-4 As shown: the drive gear 13 and the driven rack 14 are located on the right side of the housing 1 and the sealing cover 12. Meanwhile, the sealing cover 12 is fixed to the driving connecting rod 11 by a connecting ring, and the connecting ring is sleeved on the driving connecting rod 11.
[0050] Working principle: When the meter body 9 needs to be transported, it is first placed on the placement plate 2 inside the housing 1. When the meter body 9 is pushed in, its side wall contacts the pulley 8 on the clamping plate 7, pushing the clamping plate 7 to move to both sides. At the same time, the support rod 64 rotates, causing the first slider 62 to slide along the upper and lower inner walls of the square groove rod 5, while compressing the telescopic rod 61 and the return spring 63. After the meter body 9 is in place, the elastic force of the return spring 63 pushes the clamping plate 7 back through the support rod 64, so that it stably clamps the meter body 9 from both sides. Thus, the meter body 9 can be transported safely. To maintain stability and prevent damage due to shaking, when the meter body 9 needs to be removed, pull the meter body 9 outward. The pulley 8 rolls on the surface of the meter body 9, reducing frictional resistance. At the same time, the clamping plate 7 automatically opens under the push of the meter, making it easy to pick up and put down. When the staff opens the sealing cover 12 upward, the drive gear 13 is driven to rotate through the active connecting rod 11. The rotation of the drive gear 13 drives the driven rack 14 to slide upward, which in turn pulls the side plate 3 and the placement plate 2 to rise as a whole through the connecting rod 15, so that the meter body 9 is raised to the box opening, making it easy for the staff to pick up and put down the meter body 9.
