[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] A smart energy-saving meter box, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a housing 1. A cable inlet hole is provided on one side of the housing 1. A cable inlet cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the cable inlet hole. A waterproof component is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. The waterproof component is located on one side of the cable inlet cylinder 5. The waterproof component includes a fixing post 7, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. A rotating cylinder 8 is rotatably installed at the end of the fixing post 7. A shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating cylinder 8. A fastening and water-blocking component for engaging with the side wall of the cable harness is rotatably installed on the shaft 9 to prevent water from the cable harness from entering the housing 1.
[0025] By installing a waterproof component on the side of the housing 1, the wire passes through the inlet tube 5 and connects to the equipment inside the housing 1. The water-blocking component is rotated and then clamped onto the side wall of the wire harness, which acts as a fastener to the side wall of the wire harness. Rainwater flows along the wire to the side of the water-blocking component, which prevents the rainwater from continuing to flow into the housing 1, thus preventing the wire harness from diverting rainwater into the housing 1.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the waterproof component is provided in multiple sets. Each set of fastening water-blocking components includes two sets of clamping frames 10. The two sets of clamping frames 10 are symmetrically arranged. One end of each set of clamping frames 10 is rotatably installed with both ends of the shaft 9, and the other end of each set of clamping frames 10 is engaged with the shaft.
[0027] Both sets of card frames 10 have an elastic rubber layer 14 fixed inside, and a retaining ring 16 is fixed to the outer ring of the elastic rubber layer 14. A card groove 15 is opened on the inner wall of the card frame 10, and the retaining ring 16 is engaged with the card groove 15.
[0028] When threading the wire, the two sets of clamping frames 10 are opened and rotated to one side. After the wire harness is threaded, the water-blocking component is rotated and tightened first, so that the two sets of clamping frames 10 are positioned above and below the wire harness. Then the two sets of clamping frames 10 are merged, and the wire harness and the elastic rubber layer 14 are squeezed against each other, so that water droplets cannot pass between the elastic rubber layer 14 and the side wall of the wire harness, thereby preventing water from entering the housing 1 of the smart energy-saving meter box along the wire harness.
[0029] Multiple sets of waterproof components are set up, and these components are sequentially snapped onto the side wall of the wire harness to block it, thus creating multiple barriers on the outer wall of the wire harness and improving its waterproof capability. Each set of waterproof components has the same structure, but the fixing post 7 is located at different positions on the side of the inlet tube 5 and has different lengths, and the snapping position of the clip frame 10 is different.
[0030] The elastic rubber layer 14 is mounted on the slot 15 of the frame 10 by the retaining ring 16, which prevents the elastic rubber layer 14 from detaching from the frame 10 and also makes the elastic rubber layer 14 detachable. The retaining ring 16 is not elastic and cannot be stretched or deformed. When the axis of the frame 10 is aligned with the axis of the retaining ring 16, the retaining ring 16 can be installed in the slot 15 by rotating the retaining ring 16.
[0031] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the card frame 10 is shaped as a semi-circular ring, the elastic rubber layer 14 is shaped as a semi-circular ring, the diameter of the elastic rubber layer 14 is the same as the diameter of the inner wall of the card frame 10, and a drain outlet 11 is provided through the bottom of the card frame 10 located below.
[0032] Two sets of clip frames 10 are snapped together to form a circular frame. Water cannot advance after contacting the elastic rubber layer 14 and is discharged from the drain outlet 11.
[0033] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the upper card frame 10 has a card plate 12 fixedly connected to one end away from the shaft 9, and the lower card frame 10 has a fixing plate 13 fixedly connected to one end away from the shaft 9. The card plate 12 and the fixing plate 13 are engaged in a snap-fit relationship.
[0034] The card plate 12 and the fixing plate 13 are snapped together to merge and fix the two sets of card frames 10.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the box 1 has a heat dissipation vent, a dustproof net 2 for covering the heat dissipation vent is glued to the outer wall of the box 1, and a baffle 3 for preventing rainwater from entering the heat dissipation vent is fixed to the outer wall of the box 1.
[0036] The heat dissipation vent facilitates heat dissipation for this intelligent energy-saving meter box, the dustproof net 2 prevents dust from entering the heat dissipation vent, and the baffle 3 prevents rainwater from entering the heat dissipation vent.
[0037] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a top plate 4 is fixed to the top of the housing 1, and the top plate 4 is located above the inlet tube 5.
[0038] The top plate has four pairs of shields above the reels to prevent rainwater from dripping onto them.
[0039] The working principle of the intelligent energy-saving meter box provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0040] By installing a waterproof component on the side of the housing 1, the wire passes through the inlet tube 5 and connects to the equipment inside the housing 1. The water-blocking component is rotated and the two sets of clip frames 10 of the water-blocking component are combined and clipped onto the side wall of the wire harness, which acts as a fastener and blockage for the side wall of the wire harness. Rainwater flows along the wire to the side of the water-blocking component, and the water-blocking component prevents the rainwater from continuing to flow into the housing 1, thereby preventing the wire harness from diverting rainwater into the housing 1.
[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
