Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-2This utility model provides an energy metering box with terminal blocks for easy wiring, including a box body 1; a cabinet door 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the box body 1; a base plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box body 1; multiple mounting slots 13 are opened on the top of the base plate 12; the multiple mounting slots 13 are arranged in a regular pattern; multiple mounting plates 14 are provided on the side wall of the base plate 12; multiple wedges 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple mounting plates 14; the multiple wedges 15 correspond to the mounting slots 13 and can be fixed inside the mounting slots 13; multiple handles 16 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plates 14 for picking up the mounting plates 14; a terminal block 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plates 14; during operation, the cabinet door 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the box body 1, and the base plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box body 1, with multiple mounting slots 13 opened on the top of the base plate 12, and the multiple mounting slots 13 are arranged in a regular pattern. The base plate 12 has a mounting plate 14 on its side wall. Multiple wedges 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 14, corresponding to mounting slots 13. The wedges 15 can be installed on the side wall of the mounting slots 13. Multiple handles 16 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 14, allowing the mounting plate 14 to be lifted and lowered. Terminal blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 14. The internal space of the power metering box is relatively small, which makes wiring the terminal blocks difficult and makes it hard for the operator to perform wiring in the small space. The multiple mounting slots 13 on the top of the base plate 12 allow the operator to lift the handles 16 and install the wedges 15 on the side wall of the mounting slots 13, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting plate 14 to make room for the terminal blocks 17. This modular approach facilitates wiring the terminal blocks and makes subsequent maintenance easier.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3The box 1 shown has multiple first wire guide frames 2 fixedly connected to its side wall; hinges 21 are fixedly connected to the side wall of each first wire guide frame 2; second wire guide frames 22 are fixedly connected to the side wall of each hinge 21; latches 23 are installed on the side walls of the first wire guide frames 2 and the second wire guide frames 22 for fixing the first wire guide frames 2 and the second wire guide frames 22; during operation, multiple first wire guide frames 2 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the box 1, hinges 21 are fixedly connected to the side wall of each first wire guide frame 2, and second wire guide frames 22 are fixedly connected to the side wall of each hinge 21. Locks 23 are installed on the side wall of the wire frame 22 to fix the first wire frame 2 and the second wire frame 22. After the wiring is completed, the wires need to be arranged. The second wire frame 22 can be rotated by the hinge 21. After rotation, the wires can be placed on the side wall of the first wire frame 2. Then, the second wire frame 22 is rotated, and the first wire frame 2 and the second wire frame 22 are fixed by the locks 23. The wires are fixed inside the first wire frame 2 and the second wire frame 22. In this way, it can prevent the wires from being messy during wiring, which would make subsequent maintenance difficult.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the housing 1 has a wire inlet hole 3; multiple springs 31 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the wire inlet hole 3; rubber plates 32 are fixedly connected to the ends of the multiple springs 31; during operation, the wire inlet hole 3 is opened at the top of the housing 1, multiple springs 31 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the wire inlet hole 3, and rubber plates 32 are fixedly connected to the ends of the multiple springs 31. The wire enters the housing 1 through the wire inlet hole 3. After the wiring is completed, in daily use, there will be some severe weather. If there is a strong wind, the wire may be blown and may break. When the wire is blown by the wind, it will release pressure by squeezing the rubber plate 32 and squeezing the spring 31 through the rubber plate 32. This method can prevent the wire from breaking when subjected to external pressure.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a cable tie 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the top of the housing 1; the cable tie 4 is located directly below the inlet hole 3; multiple adjusting bolts 41 are threadedly connected to the side wall of the cable tie 4; the multiple adjusting bolts 41 are symmetrically arranged; a cable tie plate 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting bolt 41; during operation, the cable tie 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the top of the housing 1, multiple adjusting bolts 41 are threadedly connected to the side wall of the cable tie 4, and a cable tie plate 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting bolt 41. After the wiring is completed, a large number of wires will be distributed inside the housing 1. By passing the wires through the inside of the cable tie 4 and adjusting the cable tie plate 42 by adjusting the adjusting bolts 41, the wires can be concentrated together, making the incoming wires more stable.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, during operation, a dustproof plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 12, and an inlet 51 is opened on the top of the dustproof plate 5. When wiring, metal shavings will be generated. When there are metal shavings inside the terminal block 17, it will cause short circuits and other phenomena. The dustproof plate 5 can prevent some metal shavings from falling into the terminal block 17.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a silicone sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box 1; the silicone sealing gasket 6 is located between the box 1 and the cabinet door 11; during operation, the silicone sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box 1. The inside of the box 1 needs to maintain a stable environment. The silicone sealing gasket 6 fixedly connected to the side wall of the box 1 can form a sealed space between the box 1 and the cabinet door 11 after the cabinet door 11 is closed, which can prevent moisture or dust from entering the inside of the box 1.

[0032] Working principle: During operation, a cabinet door 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 1. A base plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 1. Multiple mounting slots 13 are opened on the top of the base plate 12 and are regularly distributed. A mounting plate 14 is provided on the side wall of the base plate 12. Multiple wedges 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 14, corresponding to the mounting slots 13 and installed on the side wall of the mounting slots 13. Multiple handles 16 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 14, allowing the mounting plate 14 to be picked up and put down. A terminal block 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 14. The internal space of the electricity metering box is relatively small, which makes wiring the terminal block difficult and makes it hard for the operator to work in the small space. The wiring is performed inside the enclosure. Multiple mounting slots 13 are provided on the top of the base plate 12. By pulling the handle 16 and installing wedges 15 on the side walls of the mounting slots 13, the position of the mounting plate 14 can be adjusted during wiring to free up space for the terminal blocks 17 that need to be wired. This modular approach facilitates wiring of the terminal blocks and subsequent maintenance. During operation, multiple first wire brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the enclosure 1. Hinges 21 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the first wire brackets 2, and second wire brackets 22 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the hinges 21. Locks 23 are installed on the side walls of the first and second wire brackets 22 to secure them. After wiring is completed, the wires need to be inserted... The wires are arranged in rows. The second wire holder 22 can be rotated via hinge 21. After rotation, the wires can be placed on the side wall of the first wire holder 2. Then, the second wire holder 22 is rotated, and the first and second wire holders 22 are fixed together by latch 23, securing the wires inside the first and second wire holders 22. This prevents messy wires during wiring, which would hinder subsequent maintenance. During operation, a wire inlet hole 3 is opened at the top of the housing 1. Multiple springs 31 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the wire inlet hole 3, and rubber plates 32 are fixedly connected to the ends of the springs 31. The wires enter the housing 1 through the wire inlet hole 3. After wiring is completed, in daily use, there may be some severe weather conditions, such as strong winds that could cause the wires to move. The wires may break under wind. When the wires are blown by the wind, they are compressed by the rubber plate 32, which in turn compresses the spring 31 to release pressure. This method can prevent the wires from breaking under external pressure. During operation, a cable tie 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the top of the housing 1. Multiple adjusting bolts 41 are threaded onto the side wall of the cable tie 4, and a cable tie plate 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting bolts 41. After the wiring is completed, a large number of wires will be distributed inside the housing 1. By passing the wires through the cable tie 4 and adjusting the cable tie plate 42 by adjusting the adjusting bolts 41, the wires can be concentrated together, making the incoming wires more stable. During operation, a dustproof plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 12.An inlet 51 is provided at the top of the dustproof plate 5. During wiring, metal shavings are generated. If metal shavings remain inside the terminal block 17, it can cause short circuits. The dustproof plate 5 prevents some metal shavings from falling into the terminal block 17. During operation, a silicone sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the enclosure 1. The interior of the enclosure 1 needs to maintain a stable environment. The silicone sealing gasket 6 fixedly connected to the side wall of the enclosure 1 creates a sealed space between the enclosure 1 and the cabinet door 11 when the door is closed, preventing moisture or dust from entering the enclosure 1.

[0033] 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.
