Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A smart meter is a device used to detect and record electricity usage. It is widely used in homes, commercial buildings, and industrial environments. Traditional smart meters are usually installed by fixing them to the wall with screws.

[0003] In some special locations, such as shopping malls, airports, ports, and factories, a horizontal guide rail is installed on the wall with screws to speed up installation. The guide rail has a sliding rail structure, and the electricity meter has a corresponding sliding structure. The electricity meter is slidably installed on the guide rail through the sliding structure and the sliding rail structure. Compared with installing each electricity meter by drilling holes with screws, the installation efficiency is significantly improved. However, in actual use, when an electricity meter is damaged and needs to be replaced, it is necessary to slide off other working electricity meters first before the electricity meter to be replaced can be removed, which makes maintenance more troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an easy-to-install smart energy meter. The self-locking mounting bracket allows the energy meter to be slidably installed on the guide rail and can also be removed separately, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and reduces the workload of staff compared with existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an easy-to-install smart energy meter comprising an energy meter body, an upper connecting strip, a lower connecting strip, a guide rail, and a self-locking mounting bracket. The upper and lower connecting strips are respectively positioned above and below the guide rail. The energy meter body is movably mounted on the guide rail. The self-locking mounting bracket is positioned between the guide rail and the energy meter body, and connected to the upper and lower connecting strips. The self-locking mounting bracket includes a control compartment, an upper locking block, a lower locking block, and a spring. The control compartment is located on the upper side of the energy meter body, and the spring is located within the control compartment. The upper end of the upper locking block is movably mounted within the control compartment and connected to the lower part of the spring. The lower end of the upper locking block moves horizontally to the top of the upper connecting strip. The contact surface between the upper locking block and the upper connecting strip is arc-shaped. The lower locking block is located on the lower side of the energy meter body and moves horizontally to the lower end of the lower connecting strip.

[0007] In addition, the easy-to-install smart energy meter proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] Specifically, the top of the control compartment is provided with an upper connecting plate, which is located on the side of the energy meter body.

[0009] Specifically, the bottom surface of the lower card block is provided with a lower connecting plate, which is disposed on the side of the energy meter body, and the lower connecting plate and the upper connecting plate are arranged in parallel.

[0010] Specifically, the side of the electricity meter body is symmetrically provided with reinforcing plates, which are respectively disposed on the top of the upper connecting plate and the bottom of the lower connecting plate.

[0011] Specifically, the guide rail is a horizontally arranged strip structure, and the guide rail is provided with horizontally arranged slotted structures. The upper and lower ends of the guide rail are inclined towards the energy meter body.

[0012] Specifically, the bottom surface of the lower connecting strip is provided with an upper groove structure, and the top of the lower locking block is provided with a protrusion structure corresponding to the upper groove structure.

[0013] Specifically, the lower card block has upwardly extending plate structures at both ends of its top, and the plate structures are located on both sides of the lower connecting strip.

[0014] Specifically, the lower card block has upwardly extending plate structures at both ends of its top, and the plate structures are located on both sides of the lower connecting strip.

[0015] Specifically, the top of the upper connecting strip is provided with a semi-circular groove structure, and the bottom of the upper locking block is a semi-circular protrusion structure that cooperates with the semi-circular groove structure.

[0016] Specifically, the control compartment is provided with symmetrical limit blocks at the top and bottom, and the limit blocks are located inside the spring.

[0017] Specifically, the upper end of the upper block is provided with a limiting plate, which is located below the spring.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The easy-to-install smart energy meter of this utility model, by adding a self-locking mounting bracket, has an upper and lower locking block that slides on the upper and lower connecting bars respectively. The spring controls the upper locking block to abut against the upper connecting bar, while the plate structure of the lower locking block is inserted into the groove structure of the lower connecting bar. This allows the energy meter to be slidably installed on the guide rail and removed separately, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and reduces the workload of staff compared with the existing technology.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0028] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes an easy-to-install smart energy meter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the easy-to-install smart energy meter of this utility model embodiment may include an energy meter body 1, an upper connecting strip 2, a lower connecting strip 3, a guide rail 4, and a self-locking mounting bracket 5.

[0030] The upper connecting strip 2 and the lower connecting strip 3 are respectively set on the upper and lower rails 4, and the energy meter body 1 is moved and set on the rails 4.

[0031] The self-locking mounting bracket 5 is located between the guide rail 4 and the energy meter body 1, and is connected to the upper connecting strip 2 and the lower connecting strip 3. The self-locking mounting bracket 5 includes a control compartment 6, an upper locking block 7, a lower locking block 8, and a spring 9.

[0032] The control compartment 6 is located on the upper side of the electricity meter body 1, the spring 9 is located inside the control compartment 6, the upper end of the upper locking block 7 is movable inside the control compartment 6 and connected to the lower end of the spring 9, the lower end of the upper locking block 7 moves horizontally to the top of the upper connecting strip 2, the contact surface between the upper locking block 7 and the upper connecting strip 2 is arc-shaped, and the lower locking block 8 is located on the lower side of the electricity meter body 1 and moves horizontally to the lower end of the lower connecting strip 3.

[0033] Specifically, the worker first fixes the guide rail 4 to the wall by screwing it through the slotted structure. Then, the worker holds the smart meter and aligns the upper locking block 7 and lower locking block 8 with the upper connecting strip 2 and lower connecting strip 3 respectively, controlling the smart meter to slide onto the guide rail 4. The semi-circular structures of the upper locking block 7 and upper connecting strip 2 correspond, and the protrusion on the top of the lower locking block 8 slides into the upper groove of the lower connecting strip 3. The smart meter is then installed on the guide rail 4 using the upper locking block 7, lower locking block 8, upper connecting strip 2, and lower connecting strip 3. The smart meter can then slide and move on the guide rail 4. (Details follow...) Figure 5 As shown.

[0034] During maintenance, a smart energy meter needs to be disassembled. The operator manually presses down the upper connecting plate 10, causing the control compartment 6 to descend. The position of the upper locking block 7 remains unchanged, and the spring 9 inside the control compartment 6 is compressed. At the same time, the energy meter body 1, the lower connecting plate 11, and the lower locking block 8 descend synchronously. At this time, the protrusion structure of the lower locking block 8 disengages from the upper groove structure of the lower connecting strip 3, and the lower locking block 8 separates from the lower connecting strip 3. Then, the operator controls the smart energy meter to rotate, so that the lower end of the smart energy meter rotates away from the guide rail 4, and the lower locking block 8 moves away from the lower connecting strip 3. Then, the operator lifts the smart energy meter, causing the upper locking block 7 to separate from the upper connecting strip 2, and removes the smart energy meter from the guide rail 4. The operator then performs maintenance work.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the control compartment 6 is provided with an upper connecting plate 10, which is located on the side of the energy meter body 1. The bottom surface of the lower locking block 8 is provided with a lower connecting plate 11, which is located on the side of the energy meter body 1. The lower connecting plate 11 and the upper connecting plate 10 are arranged in parallel. The side of the energy meter body 1 is symmetrically provided with reinforcing plates 12, which are respectively located on the top of the upper connecting plate 10 and the bottom of the lower connecting plate 11.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 11 are respectively located above and below the guide rail 4. The upper connecting plate 10, the lower connecting plate 11 and the reinforcing plate 12 improve the connection stability between the guide rail 4 and the electricity meter.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the guide rail 4 is a horizontally arranged strip structure. The guide rail 4 is provided with a grooved structure horizontally arranged, and the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 4 are inclined towards the electricity meter body 1.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper and lower ends are inclined, which increases the distance between the electricity meter body 1 and the wall, facilitates air flow, aids in heat dissipation, and at the same time facilitates the disassembly of the electricity meter.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the bottom surface of the lower connecting strip 3 is provided with an upper groove body structure. The top of the lower block 8 is provided with a convex block structure corresponding to the upper groove body structure. Both ends of the top of the lower block 8 are provided with plate structures extending upwards, and the plate structures are located on both sides of the lower connecting strip 3.

[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the lower block 8 is similar to the Chinese character "mountain". Through the snap connection between the lower block 8 and the lower connecting strip 3, on the one hand, the stability of the electricity meter is improved, and on the other hand, it is ensured that the electricity meter can slide on the guide rail 4, which is convenient for the batch installation of the electricity meter.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the top of the upper connecting strip 2 is provided with a semi-circular groove body structure. The bottom of the upper block 7 is a semi-circular convex block structure and is matched with the semi-circular groove body structure.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the semi-circular groove body structure facilitates the staff to control the rotation of the electricity meter with the upper block 7 as the rotation center.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the control chamber 6 is symmetrically provided with limiting blocks 13 up and down. The limiting blocks 13 are located inside the springs 9. The upper end of the upper block 7 is provided with a limiting plate 14, and the limiting plate 14 is arranged below the spring 9.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the width of the limiting plate 14 is greater than the width of the upper block 7. The limiting plate 14 can only move inside the control chamber 6 and cannot脱离 the control chamber 6. The limiting plate 14 limits the moving direction of the upper block 7.

[0045] In summary, the easy-to-install smart energy meter of this utility model embodiment, by adding a self-locking mounting bracket, allows the upper and lower locking blocks to slide on the upper and lower connecting bars respectively. The spring controls the upper locking block to abut against the upper connecting bar, while the plate structure of the lower locking block engages with the groove structure of the lower connecting bar. This allows the energy meter to be slidably installed on the guide rail and removed separately, greatly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing the workload of staff compared to existing technologies.
