Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment technology, specifically to a rail-mounted energy meter. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of electricity metering equipment technology, DIN rail-mounted electricity meters are widely used in distribution cabinets and industrial settings due to their convenient installation and strong adaptability.
[0003] However, existing DIN rail-mounted energy meters are usually designed with a fixed structure during installation. The assembly angle between the meter body and the rail is mostly a single vertical or horizontal direction, which leads to significant defects in practical applications. When the energy meter is installed in a complex layout, the fixed angle makes it difficult for the display screen, operation buttons or wiring terminals to be aligned with maintenance needs. In particular, during maintenance, the meter body needs to be frequently disassembled or the viewing angle needs to be adjusted with tools, which greatly reduces operating efficiency and increases the risk of electric shock.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a rail-mounted energy meter. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings and provide a rail-mounted energy meter.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a rail-mounted energy meter, including a mounting plate and an energy meter body fixed on the mounting plate, and an installation mechanism for installing the mounting plate, including a mounting block disposed on the outside of the mounting plate and a guide rail slidably inserted inside the mounting block, fixing one end of the guide rail to the place of use, and the energy meter body can be installed at the place of use through the mounting plate, the mounting block and the guide rail;
[0008] A connecting assembly for adjusting the angle of the electricity meter body includes connecting posts fixed on both sides of the mounting block and a connecting part one rotatably connected to the tail end of the connecting posts. The connecting part one has a sliding groove, and a connecting part two fixed on the mounting plate is slidably inserted into the sliding groove. By operating the connecting assembly, the corresponding angle of the electricity meter body can be adjusted.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mounting block is provided with a limiting component for limiting the angle of the mounting plate. The limiting component includes a limiting block fixed on the mounting block and a limiting groove formed on the mounting plate and slidingly engaging with the limiting block. Through the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting groove, the mounting plate can be limited to prevent the mounting plate from deflecting arbitrarily.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, multiple return springs are fixed between the two ends of the connecting part inside the slide and the inner wall of the slide end for pulling the connecting part two to reset displacement. When the mounting plate is displaced, it will drive the connecting part two to move. Through the elasticity of the return springs, the displaced connecting part two and the mounting plate can be pulled to reset displacement.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, multiple snap-fit blocks are fixed on the outer side of the guide rail, and multiple snap-fit grooves are opened on the inner wall of the mounting block. The snap-fit blocks located inside the mounting block slide in the adjacent snap-fit grooves. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit grooves and snap-fit blocks, the mounting block can be fixed on the guide rail.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mounting plate is provided with a protective component for protecting the electricity meter body. The protective component includes a protective block disposed on one side of the electricity meter body. The two ends of the protective block are provided with guide blocks fixed on the mounting plate. The guide block is provided with a sliding groove. The sliding groove is slidably connected to a sliding block fixed on the protective block. Through the operation of the protective component, the electricity meter body can be protected.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, a rubber sheet is fixed to the inner wall of the protective block. The rubber sheet can prevent the energy meter body from having a hard collision with the inner wall of the protective block when it has not completely detached from the inside of the protective block and deflects.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mounting block has a sliding plate that slides inside and fits against the guide rail. Multiple push springs are fixed between the sliding plate and the inner wall of the mounting block. By pushing the elasticity of the springs, the mounting block can be pushed to perform a reset displacement.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the depth of the groove is greater than the length of the second connecting part, and the second connecting part can be loaded through the groove with a depth greater than the length of the second connecting part.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] This utility model allows for adjustment of the corresponding angle of the electricity meter through the operation of the connecting components, thereby facilitating user operation or maintenance of the electricity meter. The operation of the limiting components can limit the electricity meter in use, and the operation of the protective components can protect the idle electricity meter, preventing it from being accidentally damaged due to prolonged exposure to the outside environment during idle periods. The position of the electricity meter can be adjusted according to the user's installation requirements.
[0018] In summary, this utility model has a reasonable structure, which allows for simple and convenient adjustment of the corresponding angle and position of the electricity meter, and can protect idle electricity meters. It is easy to use and has high protection performance. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] Combination Figure 1 This embodiment of a rail-mounted energy meter includes a mounting plate 1 and an energy meter body 2 fixed on the mounting plate 1.
[0028] The mounting mechanism is used to install the mounting plate 1, including a mounting block 3 disposed on the outside of the mounting plate 1 and a guide rail 4 slidably inserted inside the mounting block 3.
[0029] The connecting assembly, used to adjust the angle of the electricity meter body 2, includes connecting posts 5 fixed on both sides of the mounting block 3 and connecting part 6 rotatably connected to the tail end of the connecting post 5. The connecting part 6 has a sliding groove 7, and the connecting part 8 fixed on the mounting plate 1 is slidably inserted inside the sliding groove 7.
[0030] The implementation principle of a rail-mounted energy meter in this application embodiment is as follows: one end of the rail 4 is fixed to the usage location. The energy meter body 2 can be installed at the usage location through the mounting plate 1, mounting block 3, and rail 4. When it is necessary to adjust the corresponding position of the energy meter body 2, the mounting block 3 is pulled. Through the sliding cooperation between the mounting block 3 and the rail 4, the mounting plate 1, mounting block 3, and energy meter body 2 are moved, and the corresponding position of the energy meter body 2 can be adjusted. When it is necessary to adjust the corresponding angle of the energy meter body 2, the energy meter body 2 can be pulled. Through the cooperation of the connecting column 5, the connecting part 6, connecting part 8, and mounting plate 1 are rotated, and the energy meter body 2 is rotated, and the corresponding angle of the energy meter body 2 can be adjusted. This makes it convenient for users to operate or repair the energy meter body 2, and it is easy to use.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Combination Figure 3 This embodiment is further improved on the basis of embodiment 1 in that: the mounting block 3 is provided with a limiting component for limiting the angle of the mounting plate 1. The limiting component includes a limiting block 9 fixed on the mounting block 3 and a limiting groove opened on the mounting plate 1 and slidingly engaged with the limiting block 9. Through the cooperation of the limiting block 9 and the limiting groove, the mounting plate 1 can be limited to prevent the mounting plate 1 from deflecting arbitrarily. When the angle of the energy meter body 2 on the mounting plate 1 is adjusted, the mounting plate 1 is pulled, which causes the mounting plate 1 to move. When the limiting groove on the mounting plate 1 is separated from the limiting block 9, the mounting plate 1 can be pulled, which causes the mounting plate 1 and the energy meter body 2 on the mounting plate 1 to deflect.
[0033] Multiple reset springs are fixed between the end of the connecting part 2 8 inside the slide groove 7 and the inner wall of the end of the slide groove 7. These springs are used to pull the connecting part 2 8 to reset displacement. When the mounting plate 1 is displaced, it will drive the connecting part 2 8 to move. Through the elasticity of the reset springs, the displaced connecting part 2 8 and the mounting plate 1 can be pulled to reset displacement.
[0034] Example 3:
[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment is further improved in that: multiple snap-fit blocks 14 are fixed on the outer side of the guide rail 4, and multiple snap-fit grooves 15 are opened on the inner wall of the mounting block 3. The snap-fit blocks 14 located inside the mounting block 3 slide in the adjacent snap-fit grooves 15. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit grooves 15 and the snap-fit blocks 14, the mounting block 3 can be fixed on the guide rail 4.
[0036] The mounting plate 1 is provided with a protective component for protecting the electricity meter body 2. The protective component includes a protective block 11 set on one side of the electricity meter body 2. The two ends of the protective block 11 are provided with guide blocks 12 fixed on the mounting plate 1. The guide blocks 12 are provided with sliding grooves. The sliding blocks fixed on the protective block 11 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves. When it is necessary to protect the idle electricity meter body 2, the protective block 11 can be pulled. Through the sliding cooperation of the sliding groove and the sliding block, the protective block 11 can be moved. When the moved protective block 11 is fitted on the outside of the electricity meter body 2, the electricity meter body 2 can be protected by the protective block 11.
[0037] A rubber sheet is fixed to the inner wall of the protective block 11. The rubber sheet can prevent the electricity meter body 2 from hardly colliding with the inner wall of the protective block 11 when it has not completely detached from the inside of the protective block 11 and deflects.
[0038] The mounting block 3 has a sliding plate 10 that slides inside and fits against the guide rail 4. Multiple push springs 13 are fixed between the sliding plate 10 and the inner wall of the mounting block 3. When it is necessary to adjust the corresponding position of the mounting block 3, the mounting block 3 can be pushed to move it. When the snap-fit groove 15 on the mounting block 3 is disengaged from the snap-fit block 14 on the guide rail 4, the mounting block 3 can be pulled to move it. When the corresponding position of the mounting block 3 is adjusted, the mounting block 3 can be loosened. By pushing the elasticity of the spring 13, the mounting block 3 can be pushed to reset and move, causing the snap-fit groove 15 to fit onto the outside of the adjacent snap-fit block 14, thereby fixing the corresponding position of the mounting block 3.
[0039] The depth of the groove 7 is greater than the length of the connecting part 2 8. The connecting part 2 8 can be loaded through the groove 7, which is deeper than the length of the connecting part 2 8.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
