Abstract
Description
A meter box with cable management function Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meter box technology, specifically to a meter box with cable management function. Background Technology
[0002] In power transmission and distribution systems, meter boxes are indispensable equipment. The main function of traditional meter boxes is to house meters and related electrical components, but with the increase in electrical equipment and the growing complexity of wiring, the situation has become increasingly complicated.
[0003] Existing meter boxes generally lack effective wiring management measures, resulting in haphazardly tangled internal wiring. This not only causes significant inconvenience for installation and maintenance, requiring considerable time to identify wiring connections, but also easily leads to wear, short circuits, and other faults due to the chaotic wiring, reducing power supply stability and security and affecting the normal operation of the power system. Therefore, designing a meter box with wiring management capabilities is of great significance for optimizing wiring layout and improving the efficiency and safety of meter box use.
[0004] Currently, patent publication number CN220305400U discloses an electric meter box with a wire handling cavity. The electric meter box includes a box body, with a storage frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body. Multiple through holes are provided on the rear bottom of the box body, and multiple rubber layers are fixedly connected inside the through holes. Multiple sets of winding rods are provided on the rear side of the box body, and anti-detachment plates are fixedly connected to the front of the winding rods. Multiple mounting seats are fixedly connected to the top center of the storage frame, and multiple mounting slots are provided inside the mounting seats. Movable plates are provided inside the mounting slots. A spring is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate, and a moving rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the movable plate. A silicone pad is fixedly connected to the other end of the moving rod.
[0005] With the above setup, the existing technical solution allows the wires to pass through the inside of the through hole. With the cooperation of the storage frame, through hole, rubber layer, winding rod, anti-detachment plate, mounting base, mounting groove, spring, movable plate, moving rod and silicone pad, the internal wires are arranged in a reasonable and neat manner, which facilitates the later inspection and maintenance of the wires and avoids the wires from becoming loose and tangled inside the meter box.
[0006] However, the existing technical solutions still have the following drawbacks in operation:
[0007] In existing solutions, multiple sets of winding rods are installed on the rear side of the cabinet. Each set consists of four winding rods, which surround the through-hole to wind the wires that enter the storage basket. However, the internal space of the cabinet is limited, and multiple sets of winding rods occupy space. After the wires are densely wound, the operating space becomes even more cramped, and hand movement is restricted. In such a limited space, the operator needs to lift the flap with one hand and use the other hand to wind the wires onto one of the winding rods in the limited storage basket. The operator needs to spend more time and energy to manage the wires, which affects the work process. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This utility model aims to provide an electric meter box with cable management function, mainly to solve the technical problem that the internal space of the box is limited, multiple sets of winding rods occupy space, and after the cables are densely wound, the operating space becomes even more cramped, hand movement is restricted, and in the case of very limited space, the operator still needs to lift the flap with one hand and wind the cables onto one of the winding rods in the limited storage box with the other hand. The operator needs to spend more time and energy to complete the cable management, which affects the work process.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0010] An electric meter box with cable management function includes a box body and a U-shaped frame installed inside the box body. A mounting base is provided on the U-shaped frame. A baffle is rotatably connected to one side of the U-shaped frame. A mounting groove communicating with the interior of the box body is opened on one side. Guide grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the mounting groove. A mounting plate is slidably connected within the mounting groove. Several through holes are opened on one side of the mounting plate. Several winding rods are fixed around the through holes. A guide rod cooperating with the guide groove is fixed to one side of the mounting plate. A limiting component for fixing the mounting plate is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove. A sealing component to prevent dust from entering the box body is provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate.
[0011] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model:
[0012] 1. Working Principle: When installing the meter box, first pull out the mounting plate from the mounting slot. The movement of the mounting plate will drive the guide rod to move along the guide slot. At the same time, the mounting plate will drive the winding rod to move out of the box. The wires are passed through multiple through holes according to their models and wound around the winding rod. Then, push the mounting plate to move into the mounting slot. The mounting plate will drive the guide rod to move in the opposite direction along the guide slot, and the winding rod will also enter the box. At this time, the limiting component will fix the mounting plate, and the sealing component will seal the gap between the mounting plate and the mounting slot. Then, rotate to open the baffle and pass the wires through the mounting seat on the U-shaped frame. (As multiple wires pass through, multiple silicone pads in the middle of the mounting seat will be squeezed. The silicone pads squeeze the moving rod, and the moving rod drives the movable plate to move. The spring is subjected to the squeezing force of the movable plate and generates a rebound reaction force, so that multiple silicone pads wrap the wires.) The part in parentheses is the prior art cited, which is not described in detail in this application.
[0013] 2. Beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) The existing technology achieves reasonable and neat placement of internal wires by passing the wires through the inside of the through hole, with the cooperation of the storage frame, through hole, rubber layer, winding rod, anti-detachment plate, mounting base, mounting groove, spring, movable plate, moving rod and silicone pad, which facilitates the later inspection and maintenance of the wires and avoids the wires from becoming loose and tangled inside the meter box. In this solution, the mounting plate is slidably connected to the box. When wiring is required, the mounting plate is pulled out and the wires are wound on the winding rod. After the wires are wound, the mounting plate is pushed into the mounting groove. The mounting plate drives the winding rod with the wound wires into the box. The winding process is no longer restricted by the space inside the box. This solves the technical problems that the space inside the box is limited, multiple winding rods occupy space, and the operating space is more cramped and hand movement is restricted after the wires are densely wound.
[0015] (2) In this solution, the limiting component set on the inner wall of the mounting groove and the sealing component set on the mounting plate cooperate to fix the mounting plate in the mounting groove, so that the mounting plate and the mounting groove are tightly abutted, and the sealing component can better seal the gap between the mounting plate and the mounting groove.
[0016] Preferably, the limiting component includes a plurality of first magnetic blocks embedded in the upper and lower side walls of the mounting groove, and second magnetic blocks that cooperate with the first magnetic blocks are embedded in the upper and lower end faces of the mounting plate. When wiring is required, the mounting plate is pulled out, and the mounting plate drives the guide rod fixed on one side to move along the guide groove. When the mounting plate moves, it also drives the second magnetic blocks embedded in the outer wall and the sealing component to move synchronously. At the same time, the mounting plate drives the winding rod to move out of the box. After the wire passes through the through hole on the mounting plate, the wire is wound on the winding rod. After the wire is completely wound, the mounting plate is pushed to move the mounting plate into the mounting groove. At this time, after the mounting plate is aligned with the mounting groove, the second magnetic blocks embedded in the mounting plate are tightly attracted to the first magnetic blocks embedded in the inner wall of the mounting groove. The mounting plate is fixed and will not shake, ensuring the stability of the wire.
[0017] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a sealing groove located on one side of the housing and communicating with the mounting groove. A sealing ring is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate, and the outer wall of the sealing ring abuts against the inner wall of the sealing groove. Since there is a certain gap between the mounting plate and the mounting groove, the sealing ring is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate. When the mounting plate enters the mounting groove, the sealing ring and the sealing groove abut tightly, and at this time, external dust will not enter the housing.
[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the guide groove is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves, and the two sides of the guide rod are fixedly connected with limiting blocks that match the limiting grooves; by providing limiting grooves on the inner wall of the guide groove and fixing limiting blocks on the two sides of the guide rod, the mounting plate will not completely detach from the box after being pulled, making it convenient to push the mounting plate smoothly into the mounting groove after the wire is wound.
[0019] Preferably, one side of the mounting plate and sealing ring is flush with the outer wall of the housing; this makes the installation plate and sealing ring more aesthetically pleasing and prevents dirt from accumulating.
[0020] Preferably, a stop block is rotatably connected to one side of the housing, and the outer wall of one end of the stop block abuts against the outer wall of the mounting plate. When the mounting plate is pushed into the mounting groove, rotating the stop block causes the outer wall of one end of the stop block to abut against the outer wall of the mounting plate, which increases the stability of the mounting plate and increases the squeezing force between the sealing ring and the sealing groove, resulting in a better sealing effect.
[0021] Preferably, a pull rod is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate; pushing and pulling the mounting plate with the pull rod is more convenient and less strenuous. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] As shown in Figures 1-8, an electric meter box with cable management function includes a box body 1 and a U-shaped frame 2 installed inside the box body 1. A mounting base 3 is installed on the U-shaped frame 2. A baffle 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the U-shaped frame 2. A mounting groove 5 communicating with the interior of the box body 1 is opened on one side. Guide grooves 6 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the mounting groove 5. A mounting plate 7 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 5. A pull rod 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 7. Limiting grooves 15 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the guide grooves 6. The guide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the limiting grooves 15 on both sides. A matching limiting block 16 is provided. A plurality of through holes 8 are provided on one side of the mounting plate 7. A plurality of winding rods 9 are fixed around the through holes 8. A guide rod 10, which mates with the guide groove 6, is fixed on one side of the mounting plate 7. A limiting component for fixing the mounting plate 7 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 5. The limiting component includes a plurality of first magnetic blocks 11 embedded in the upper and lower side walls of the mounting groove 5. Second magnetic blocks 12, which mate with the first magnetic blocks 11, are embedded in both the upper and lower end faces of the mounting plate 7. The mounting plate 7 and the mounting groove 5... After alignment, the second magnetic block 12 embedded on the mounting plate 7 is tightly attracted to the first magnetic block 11 embedded in the inner wall of the mounting groove 5, fixing the mounting plate 7 in place and preventing it from shaking, thus ensuring the stability of the circuit. The outer wall of the mounting plate 7 is provided with a sealing component to prevent dust from entering the housing 1. The sealing component includes a sealing groove 13 located on one side of the housing 1 and communicating with the mounting groove 5. A sealing ring 14 is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate 7, and the outer wall of the sealing ring 14 abuts against the inner wall of the sealing groove 13. When the mounting plate 7 enters the mounting groove 5, the sealing ring 14... The mounting plate 7 and the sealing ring 14 are tightly abutted against the sealing groove 13, preventing external dust and moisture from entering the housing 1. One side of the mounting plate 7 and the sealing ring 14 is flush with the outer wall of the housing 1. A stop block 17 is rotatably connected to one side of the housing 1. One end of the outer wall of the stop block 17 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting plate 7. When the mounting plate 7 is pushed into the mounting groove 5, the stop block 17 is rotated so that one end of the outer wall of the stop block 17 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting plate 7, increasing the stability of the mounting plate 7 and increasing the squeezing force between the sealing ring 14 and the sealing groove 13, resulting in a better sealing effect.
[0033] As can be seen from the above, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:
[0034] When installing the meter box, first rotate the stop 17 to release it from the squeezing restriction of the mounting plate 7. Then pull the lever 18. Pulling the lever 18 will cause the mounting plate 7, which is slidably connected in the mounting groove 5, to move. When the mounting plate 7 moves out of the mounting groove 5, it will cause the second magnetic block 12 embedded in the outer wall to disengage from the first magnetic block 11 embedded in the inner wall of the mounting groove 5. When the mounting plate 7 moves out of the mounting groove 5, it will cause the guide rod 10 fixed on one side to move gradually out along the guide groove 6. The movement of the guide rod 10 will cause the limiting blocks 16 fixed on both sides to move along the limiting groove 15. At the same time, the movement of the mounting plate 7 will also cause the multiple sets of winding rods 9 fixed on one side to move out of the box 1. After the winding rods 9 are completely moved out of the box 1, the wire is passed through the through hole 8 on one side of the mounting plate 7 and wound around the winding rod 9. Then push the mounting plate 7 to move the guide rod 10 in the opposite direction along the guide groove 6. The movement of the guide rod 10 will cause the limiting blocks 11 to move in the opposite direction. 6. Move in the opposite direction along the limiting groove 15. At the same time, the mounting plate 7 drives the winding rod 9 of the winding line into the interior of the box 1. When the mounting plate 7 is completely in the mounting groove 5, the second magnetic block 12 and the first magnetic block 11 attract each other tightly, fixing the mounting plate 7. At the same time, the mounting plate 7 drives the sealing ring 14 to abut against the inner wall of the sealing groove 13. Rotate to open the baffle 4, and pass the line through the mounting seat 3 on the U-shaped frame 2. (When multiple lines pass through, multiple silicone pads in the middle of the mounting seat will be squeezed. The silicone pads squeeze the moving rod, and the moving rod drives the moving plate to move. The spring is squeezed by the moving plate and generates a rebound reaction force, so that multiple silicone pads wrap the line.) The part in parentheses is the cited prior art, which is not described in detail in this application. Rotate the stop 17 connected to the outer wall of the box 1 in the opposite direction, so that the outer wall of one end of the stop 17 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting plate 7, and the mounting plate 7 is firmly restricted in the mounting groove 5.
