Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous increase in electricity demand, electricity meters, as important equipment for power monitoring, are widely used in various buildings and facilities. However, a fire in an electricity meter box can not only cause a power outage but also pose a serious threat to user safety and property. Therefore, fire-resistant meter boxes are particularly important. At the same time, due to the service requirements of power companies, monitoring the status of meter boxes and providing convenient contact information for users with the area manager have become essential.

[0003] Currently, existing meter boxes on the market are mainly designed for waterproofing, dustproofing, and impact resistance, but they are still insufficient in terms of fire safety, meter box monitoring, and service provision. Most existing meter boxes are made of plastic or metal shells, which, while offering some protection, are prone to melting, combustion, or short circuits of internal components in high-temperature environments, potentially causing fires. Furthermore, there is a lack of methods for monitoring and recording the opening and closing of meter box doors and for conveniently providing customers with the contact information of the area manager.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 A smart meter box, comprising:

[0031] An electricity meter box, the electricity meter box including a box cover 11 and a box shell 12, the box cover 11 and the box shell 12 being movably connected, the box shell 12 being used to house the electricity meter;

[0032] Smoke sensor 41 is installed inside the housing 12 and is used to measure the smoke concentration inside the meter box;

[0033] Temperature sensor 42 is installed inside the housing 12 and is used to measure the temperature inside the meter box;

[0034] The microcontroller 5 is installed inside the housing 12 and is connected to the smoke sensor 41, the temperature sensor 42 and the buzzer 43 respectively. When the smoke concentration or temperature in the meter box exceeds the threshold, the microcontroller 5 controls the buzzer 43 to sound an alarm.

[0035] An alarm light 21 is installed on the outside of the box cover 11 and connected to the microcontroller 5. When the smoke concentration or temperature inside the meter box exceeds the threshold, the microcontroller 5 controls the alarm light 21 to flash.

[0036] An electronic screen 31 is installed on the outside of the box cover 11 and connected to the microcontroller 5 to display the alarm time.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, it also includes: a lighting lamp 22, a smart door lock 6, and operation buttons 32.

[0038] A light 22 is located inside the lid 11, facing the casing 12, and is used to provide illumination for the interior of the casing 12. A smart lock 6 is located on the casing 12 and is used to lock the lid 11 onto the casing 12.

[0039] All electronic devices are controlled by a single-chip microcomputer 5, specifically an SMT32 microcontroller. A smoke sensor 41 detects smoke in the meter box, and a temperature sensor 42 detects overheating. If smoke or overheating occurs, the microcontroller sends a signal to a buzzer 43 and an alarm light 21. The buzzer 43 sounds an alarm, and the alarm light 21 flashes red, indicating an abnormal condition inside the meter box. A smart door lock 6 records the opening and closing times of the meter box and stores them in the microcontroller 5. This opening and closing time information can be displayed on an electronic screen 31 using operation buttons 32. The operation buttons 32 also control the switching on and off of the fluorescent lighting 22. The electronic screen 31, mounted on the meter box casing, has virtual button functionality. Users can modify and display the area manager's phone number and the local emergency repair hotline on the screen for easy contact with staff. Under normal conditions, the electronic screen displays the area manager's name and contact number. In alarm mode, the electronic display will emit a red light and show a "Fire Alarm" or "Overheating" warning. Users can also use buttons to recall the alarm occurrence time, the last few times the door lock was opened and closed, control the LED lights, and record the operation times.
