[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an electricity meter with remote meter reading function, including an electricity meter 1. The electricity meter 1 is used to monitor electricity consumption. The electricity meter 1 has an internal communication module connected to the control circuit board of the electricity meter 1, so that the communication module can remotely transmit the data detected by the electricity meter 1 to the backend for staff to read, thus realizing remote meter reading. In this embodiment, the communication module can be a remote communication module, which can be a WIFI module; of course, the communication module can also be an RS485 module, which is connected to the electricity meter concentrator for meter reading data transmission. In this embodiment, the control board includes an MCU.
[0030] A wiring assembly 2 is provided on the electricity meter 1. This wiring assembly 2 is used to connect the electricity meter 1 to the circuit, specifically:
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the wiring assembly 2 includes a wiring section 26 provided on the electricity meter 1. The wiring section 26 is used to connect the circuit harness and the electricity meter 1. A cover plate 21 is provided on the electricity meter 1. The size of the cover plate 21 is larger than the size of the wiring section 26 so that the cover plate 21 can approach the electricity meter 1 under the action of external force until it covers the wiring section 26 to cover the wiring section 26 after the wiring is completed.
[0032] Two sets of bolts 28 are slidably inserted on the cover plate 21, and two sets of screw holes 27 are opened on the electricity meter 1 so that when the cover plate 21 is closed on the electricity meter 1, the bolts 28 can be aligned with the screw holes 27 and inserted, and then the bolts 28 can be rotated to fix the cover plate 21 and the electricity meter 1.
[0033] A lock housing 24 is fixedly installed on both sides of the electricity meter 1. A notch 241 is provided on the outer ring of the lock housing 24. A lock cylinder 25 is rotatably installed inside the lock housing 24 so that a key can be inserted into the lock cylinder 25 and the lock cylinder 25 can be rotated by turning the key.
[0034] A lock hook 23 is provided on the lock cylinder 25. The lock hook 23 is slidably disposed inside the lock housing 24. In the initial state, one end of the lock hook 23 protrudes from one end of the notch 241 so that the lock cylinder 25 can rotate and drive the lock hook 23 to rotate towards the other end of the notch 241 until it is inserted into the interior of the lock housing 24, thereby sealing the notch 241.
[0035] Square frames 22 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cover plate 21. After the cover plate 21 is installed, the square frames 22 are located inside the notch 241. At this time, one end of the locking hook 23 protruding from the notch 241 is located inside the square frame 22. When the locking hook 23 rotates, the locking hook 23 can pass through the inside of the square frame 22 until one end of the locking hook 23 is inserted into the inside of the lock housing 24, thereby locking the square frame 22 and locking the cover plate 21, preventing other personnel from arbitrarily disassembling the cover plate 21 to steal electricity.
[0036] A quick-release assembly 3 is provided on the electricity meter 1, which is used for quick installation and removal of the electricity meter 1;
[0037] like Figures 1-2 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple sets of supports 31 are fixedly installed on the electricity meter 1. A connecting rod 33 is slidably provided inside the support 31. A clamp 35 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 33. A clamp 35 has multiple sets of elastic clips 352 at one end. The multiple sets of elastic clips 352 can move closer or further away from each other, and can form a circle for clamping when they move closer to each other.
[0038] The other end of the chuck 35 has a threaded portion 351, on which a threaded sleeve 34 is threadedly provided, and multiple sets of elastic clips 352 are located inside the threaded sleeve 34.
[0039] Initially, the multiple sets of elastic clips 352 are spread out in all directions. During installation, multiple sets of fixing rods can be set on the meter box. Then, the fixing rods are inserted between the multiple sets of elastic clips 352. Rotating the screw sleeve 34 causes the screw sleeve 34 to gradually move to the right along the axis of the clamp 35. As the screw sleeve 34 gradually moves, the multiple sets of elastic clips 352 are gradually squeezed by the screw sleeve 34, causing the multiple sets of elastic clips 352 to move closer to each other until they abut against the fixing rod, thereby clamping and fixing the fixing rod, thus fixing the clamp 35, and then fixing the electricity meter 1.
[0040] A limiting plate 32 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 33, and there is a large friction between the connecting rod 33 and the support 31. For example, a nylon sleeve is set on the connecting rod 33, and a rubber ring is set inside the support 31. The nylon sleeve slides in the rubber ring.
[0041] So that after the clamp 35 is fixed, the electricity meter 1 can be pulled to slide on the connecting rod 33, thereby driving the electricity meter 1 to approach or fit against the inner wall of the meter box, and can stay at the sliding position, so that the electricity meter 1 of different sizes can always fit against the inner wall of the meter box, and with the cooperation of the limit plate 32, its movement range is limited.
[0042] In summary, during use, multiple sets of fixing rods are installed on the inner wall of the meter box. The fixing rods are then inserted into the quick-release assembly 3 and clamped and fixed. After installation, the meter 1 is fitted to the inner wall of the meter box according to its size. The wiring harness in the circuit is then connected to the wiring assembly 2. After connection, the wiring part 26 is covered by the cover plate 21. The cover plate 21 is then locked by the square frame 22, the lock cylinder 25, and the lock hook 23 to prevent other personnel from opening the cover plate 21 to steal electricity. At the same time, the communication module can upload the data of the meter 1 to the background in real time so that the staff can read the meter remotely.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
