Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of power meter boxes, specifically relating to an anti-theft power meter box. Background Technology
[0002] Electricity meter boxes are a key infrastructure in power systems. They are mainly used to centrally install electricity metering instruments (such as electricity meters), protection devices, and power distribution control components to achieve accurate measurement of users' electricity consumption and safe management of circuits. Their core functions involve monitoring electrical variables (such as voltage, current, and power), and transmitting data to electricity meters for recording and analysis through built-in transformers and sensors.
[0003] Currently, anti-theft measures for electricity meter boxes mainly rely on simple sealing devices, which have limited effectiveness and are easily damaged, leading to frequent problems such as tampering with meter data, electricity theft, or equipment theft. In addition, meter boxes are mostly installed outdoors or in public areas, exposed to open environments, which further increases security risks. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0027] Example
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an anti-theft power meter box, comprising:
[0029] The electricity metering mechanism 100 includes a first support shell 110, a first housing 120 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the first support shell 110, an anti-theft component 130 disposed on the outside of the first housing 120, a lock seat 140 fixedly installed on the outside of the first housing 120, a second support shell 150 fixedly installed on the outside of the first support shell 110, and a second housing 160 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the second support shell 150.
[0030] The warning mechanism 200 includes a threaded seat 210 fixedly installed on the outside of the second housing 160, an alarm light 220 fixedly installed on the top of the threaded seat 210, a pivot 230 hinged to the outside of the threaded seat 210, and a baffle 240 fixedly connected to the pivot 230.
[0031] The electricity metering mechanism 100 enhances the overall structure's impact resistance and anti-vandalism capabilities through the nested design of the first support shell 110 and the second support shell 150 with the first box 120 and the second box 160. The anti-theft component 130 and the lock seat 140 can effectively prevent illegal opening and improve the anti-theft performance of the electricity meter box.
[0032] Specifically, the warning mechanism 200 also includes a positioning buckle 250 fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle 240, a sealing plate 260 movably sleeved on the outside of the threaded seat 210, a pressure sensor 270 fixedly installed on the outside of the sealing plate 260, and a pressure clamping ring 280 movably clamped on the outside of the pressure sensor 270.
[0033] The baffle 240, connected by the alarm light 220 and the rotating shaft 230, constitutes a mechanically triggered alarm system. When the first box 120 and the second box 160 are abnormally opened, the baffle 240 is displaced to trigger the alarm, providing an immediate warning and deterring potential acts of vandalism. The pressure sensor 270, in conjunction with the pressure ring 280, can detect external force damage and enhances the sealing performance through the positioning buckle 250 and the sealing plate 260, preventing human interference or short-circuiting for electricity theft and improving the sensitivity of the anti-theft response.
[0034] Furthermore, the electricity metering mechanism 100 also includes a guide strip 170 for threading wires fixedly installed on the outside of the second housing 160, a reserved slot plate 180 fixedly installed on the outside of the first support housing 110 and the second support housing 150, and a connecting pipe 190 fixedly installed at the connection between the first support housing 110 and the second support housing 150.
[0035] Among them, the guide strip 170 optimizes the cable layout and avoids clutter; the reserved slot plate 180 and the connecting pipe 190 facilitate the installation of expansion modules or auxiliary equipment, while enhancing the connection strength between the first box 120 and the second box 160 and improving the overall stability.
[0036] Preferably, the anti-theft component 130 includes a housing 131 hinged to the outside of the first housing 120, and a shield 132 fixedly installed on the bottom of the outside of the housing 131. The anti-theft component 130 also includes a positioning plate 133 fixedly installed on the other side of the shield 132, and a protruding ring 134 fixedly installed on the outside of the first housing 120. The positioning plate 133 is movably sleeved on the outside of the protruding ring 134, and the shield 132 is in an outward protruding shape.
[0037] The housing 131 and the outwardly protruding shield 132 form a physical barrier to prevent the insertion of tools; the socket structure of the positioning plate 133 and the convex ring 134 requires specific operation to unlock, increasing the difficulty of illegal opening, and the double protection enhances security.
[0038] Furthermore, the threaded seat 210 is equipped with an electromagnetic lock core, and the pressure sensor 270 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic lock core. When the pressure sensor 270 detects external force damage, it triggers the electromagnetic lock core to lock.
[0039] Among them, the pressure sensor 270 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic lock core to achieve intelligent linkage. When a destructive act is detected, the electromagnetic lock core automatically locks, forcibly preventing the box from opening, forming active protection and making up for the shortcomings of traditional mechanical locks.
[0040] When the power meter box is illegally opened, the shielding plate 132 of the anti-theft component 130 first forms a physical barrier. If it is forcibly pried open, the housing 131 drives the positioning plate 133 to disengage from the convex ring 134, and at the same time, the baffle 240 triggers the alarm light 220 through the rotating shaft 230. After the pressure sensor 270 detects the abnormal pressure of the pressure ring 280, it immediately triggers the electromagnetic lock core 135 to lock the first box 120 and the second box 160. During this process, the guide strip 170 ensures the safety of the cable, realizing all-round anti-theft protection from physical protection to intelligent linkage.
[0041] In summary, the first support shell 110, the second support shell 150, the first housing 120, and the second housing 160 form a double-layered nested physical protective barrier, which, combined with the mechanical anti-theft component 130, achieves multiple anti-theft mechanisms. The shield 132 and the housing 131 prevent tool intrusion, and the electromagnetic lock cylinder provides active locking. The pressure sensor 270 and the mechanical shield 240 have a dual-trigger mode to ensure immediate alarm in case of abnormal opening or external damage.

For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of elements may be inverted or otherwise altered, and the nature or number or position of discrete elements may be changed or altered.
