An easy-to-install electricity usage query terminal Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of query terminal technology, and in particular to an easy-to-install electricity query terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Electricity usage inquiry terminals are smart devices designed to help residents conveniently check their electricity usage information, pay their electricity bills, and monitor their electricity consumption. They collect electricity data through smart meters and transmit it via network to a data center for processing and storage. The terminal provides a user-friendly interface, allowing residents to easily check their electricity consumption, remaining balance, and other information, and make real-time payments.

[0003] Existing electricity consumption inquiry terminals typically require the use of screws, nuts, and other fasteners for installation, which is a cumbersome process. Furthermore, they require external tools for disassembly and assembly, making subsequent disassembly, replacement, or maintenance inconvenient. Therefore, we propose an easy-to-install electricity consumption inquiry terminal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an easy-to-install electricity usage query terminal.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: an easy-to-install electricity query terminal, including a query terminal, a positioning block fixedly connected to the rear end of the query terminal, a positioning hole provided on the inner wall of the positioning block, a mounting plate provided at the rear end of the query terminal, a positioning groove provided on the inner wall of the mounting plate, a through groove provided in the middle of the mounting plate, a fixing component provided inside the mounting plate, a protective component provided at the front end of the query terminal, and mounting holes provided at the four corners of the surface of the mounting plate;

[0006] The fixing assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw, a mounting base is threaded onto the surface of the bidirectional lead screw, a knob is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw, an extension plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting base, and a plug is fixedly connected to one end of the extension plate.

[0007] The above technical solution involves rotating a knob to drive a bidirectional lead screw. Since the mounting base and the bidirectional lead screw are threaded together, the two mounting bases slide closer together along the through groove, causing the extension plate to move and the insertion rod to be inserted into the positioning hole, thus installing and fixing the query terminal. The installation process is simple and convenient, requiring no additional tools. When disassembly is needed, simply rotate the knob in the opposite direction to rotate the bidirectional lead screw, causing the mounting base and extension plate to move away from each other, disengaging the insertion rod from the positioning hole, thus completing the disassembly. The operation is simple and quick.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, the bidirectional lead screw is located inside the through groove, and the surface of the mounting base is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through groove.

[0009] The above technical solution uses the through groove to limit the mounting base, allowing the mounting base to slide in a straight line along the through groove, avoiding deviation during movement, and enabling the insertion rod to accurately enter the positioning hole.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, two mounting seats are provided, and the two mounting seats are symmetrically distributed around the bidirectional lead screw.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of extension plates corresponds to the number of mounting bases, and the end of the insertion rod away from the extension plate extends into the interior of the positioning hole.

[0012] With the above technical solution, two insert rods are installed on each extension plate, and the four insert rods on the two extension plates improve the fixing effect.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the size of the positioning block is adapted to the size of the positioning groove.

[0014] The above technical solution allows for the initial positioning of the positioning block via the positioning groove, facilitating subsequent installation and fixation.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the protective component includes a fixing block, a damping shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block, a connecting block is rotatably connected to the surface of the damping shaft, and a protective cover is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting block.

[0016] The above technical solution allows the protective cover to be opened by rotating the connecting block on the surface of the damping shaft. The operation is simple, and the damping shaft can provide a certain resistance when the protective cover is opened to any angle, so that the protective cover can be kept in that position and will not close or open automatically.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, two fixing blocks are provided, with one end of the two fixing blocks close to each other being fixedly connected to the surface of the query terminal, and the protective cover is made of transparent material.

[0018] The above technical solution uses a transparent protective cover, which allows users to clearly see the content displayed on the query terminal even when the cover is closed. It also protects the display screen of the query terminal and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This utility model uses a positioning block, a mounting plate, and a fixing component. Specifically, the positioning block is inserted into the positioning groove, which positions the block. Then, rotating the knob drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. Since the mounting base is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw, the two mounting bases slide closer to each other along the through groove, causing the extension plate to move and insert the insertion rod into the positioning hole, thus installing and fixing the query terminal. The installation process is simple and convenient, requiring no additional tools, and improving the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0021] This utility model incorporates a protective component, specifically a transparent protective cover, which allows users to clearly see the content displayed on the query terminal even when the cover is closed. Simultaneously, it protects the display screen from external impacts that could damage it when not in use. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-5, this embodiment of an easy-to-install electricity query terminal includes a query terminal 1, a positioning block 2 fixedly connected to the rear end of the query terminal 1, a positioning hole 3 opened on the inner wall of the positioning block 2, a mounting plate 4 provided at the rear end of the query terminal 1, a positioning groove 5 opened on the inner wall of the mounting plate 4, a through groove 6 opened in the middle of the mounting plate 4, a fixing component 7 provided inside the mounting plate 4, a protective component 8 provided at the front end of the query terminal 1, and mounting holes opened at the four corners of the surface of the mounting plate 4.

[0032] The fixing assembly 7 includes a bidirectional lead screw 701, with a mounting base 702 threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 701. A knob 703 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 701, and an extension plate 704 is fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting base 702. An insertion rod 705 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension plate 704. The positioning block 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 5, which positions the positioning block 2. Then, the knob 703 is rotated, causing the bidirectional lead screw 701 to rotate. Since the mounting base 702 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 701, the two mounting bases 702 slide closer to each other along the through groove 6, causing the extension plate 704 to move and the insertion rod 705 to be inserted into the positioning hole 3, thus installing and fixing the query terminal 1. The installation process is simple and convenient, requiring no additional tools, and improving the ease of disassembly and assembly.

[0033] The two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 701 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 4. The bidirectional lead screw 701 is located inside the through groove 6, and the surface of the mounting base 702 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through groove 6.

[0034] There are two mounting bases 702, which are symmetrically distributed around the bidirectional lead screw 701.

[0035] The number of extension plates 704 corresponds to the number of mounting bases 702, and the end of the insertion rod 705 away from the extension plate 704 extends into the interior of the positioning hole 3.

[0036] The size of the positioning block 2 is adapted to the size of the positioning groove 5. The positioning groove 5 positions the positioning block 2, which facilitates subsequent installation and fixing.

[0037] The protective component 8 includes a fixing block 801, a damping shaft 802 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 801, a connecting block 803 rotatably connected to the surface of the damping shaft 802, and a protective cover 804 fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting block 803. The protective cover 804 protects the display screen of the query terminal 1 from damage caused by external impacts when not in use. When the query terminal 1 needs to be used, the protective cover 804 is rotated, causing the connecting block 803 to rotate along the surface of the damping shaft 802, thereby opening the protective cover 804. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0038] There are two fixing blocks 801. The two fixing blocks 801 are fixedly connected to the surface of the query terminal 1 at one end close to each other. The protective cover 804 is made of transparent material. Through the transparent material of the protective cover 804, the user can clearly see the display content of the query terminal 1 when the protective cover 804 is closed.

[0039] The implementation principle of the easy-to-install electricity query terminal in this application embodiment is as follows: When in use, the mounting plate 4 is installed on the wall. When the query terminal 1 needs to be installed, the positioning block 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 5. The positioning groove 5 positions the positioning block 2. Then, the knob 703 is rotated, causing the bidirectional lead screw 701 to rotate. Since the mounting base 702 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 701, the two mounting bases 702 slide closer to each other along the through groove 6, causing the extension plate 704 to move, so that the insertion rod 705 is inserted into the positioning hole 3 for querying. Terminal 1 is installed and fixed in a simple and convenient manner, requiring no additional tools and improving ease of disassembly and assembly. The transparent protective cover 804 allows users to clearly see the display content of the query terminal 1 even when the cover is closed, while also protecting the display screen from external impacts that could damage it when not in use. When the query terminal 1 needs to be used, the protective cover 804 is rotated, causing the connecting block 803 to rotate along the surface of the damping shaft 802, thus opening the protective cover 804. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
