Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter technology, and in particular to a plug-in electricity meter mounting base. Background Technology
[0002] Uninterrupted power supply is the most noticeable electricity usage indicator for customers. Previously, if an electricity meter malfunctioned or needed periodic replacement, staff had to disconnect the power and manually tighten or loosen the screws to replace it. However, smart meter boxes use intermittent smart connectors, allowing meter replacement simply by plugging and unplugging the meter. This truly achieves plug-and-play meter replacement and calibration. They also feature a short-circuit circuit; before replacement, only a short-circuit plug needs to be inserted, and users can continue to use electricity normally during the staff's operation.
[0003] When using the above technology, the following technical problems were found in the existing technology: the existing smart meters need to be fixed with bolts during installation, which requires tools to operate when installing and removing the meter. The bolts will rust if exposed to air for a long time, which increases the time required to remove the meter. To address this, we designed a pluggable energy meter mounting base to provide an alternative technical solution to the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A pluggable electricity meter mounting base includes a base, a protective cover is fitted at one end of the top of the base, a meter head is fitted at the other end of the base, a plurality of terminal blocks are fixed at one end of the base, bolts are threaded into the internal of the terminal blocks, and a limiting mechanism for quick disassembly of the meter head and the protective cover is provided at both ends of the base.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the plug-in type electricity meter mounting base provided by this utility model, a limiting frame is fixed at one end of the top of the base, and the two ends of the limiting frame are respectively rotatably connected to the meter head and the protective cover. The two ends of the limiting frame are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of the meter head and the protective cover that are close to each other.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the plug-in type electricity meter mounting base provided by this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes a spring, a limiting block, a guide rail, and a lever. Mounting grooves are provided at both ends of the inner side of the base. Slots are provided at the bottom ends of the meter head and the protective cover, which are far apart from each other. A limiting block is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting groove, and the top end of the limiting block is slidably connected to the slot. A spring is fixed to the bottom end of the inner side of the mounting groove, and the top end of the spring is fixed to the limiting block. A lever is fixed to the outer side of the limiting block.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the plug-in type electricity meter mounting base provided by this utility model, guide rails are provided at both ends of the base, and the inner side of the guide rails is slidably connected to the lever.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the plug-in type electricity meter mounting base provided by this utility model, a sealing gasket is fixed at the other end of the top of the base, and the top of the sealing gasket is slidably connected to the meter head.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the plug-in energy meter mounting base provided by this utility model, a number of reserved holes are provided at one end of the interior of the protective cover.
[0011] It is clear without a doubt that the technical solution described above in this application can solve the technical problem that this application aims to address.
[0012] At the same time, through the above technical solutions, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This utility model provides a pluggable energy meter mounting base. By rotating the meter head and protective cover under the limit of the limiting frame, the meter head and protective cover drive the slot to engage with the limiting block. The elasticity of the spring drives the limiting block to effectively contact the slot, thereby effectively connecting the meter head and protective cover to the base. When it is necessary to disassemble the protective cover and the meter head, the lever is moved downward. At this time, the lever drives the limiting block to disengage from the inside of the slot of the meter head and protective cover, which facilitates the effective disassembly of the meter head and the protective cover. Thus, the above-mentioned effective and quick disassembly and assembly of the meter head and the protective cover are achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0023] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A pluggable energy meter mounting base includes a base 1, a protective cover 3 is mounted on one end of the top of the base 1, a meter head 2 is mounted on the other end of the base 1, a number of terminal blocks 6 are fixed on one end of the base 1, bolts 7 are threaded inside the terminal blocks 6, and a limiting mechanism for quick disassembly of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 is provided at both ends of the base 1.
[0025] When the protective cover 3 needs to be connected to the outside, the external wire is inserted into the inside of the terminal block 6, and then the bolt 7 is rotated to squeeze and fix the external wire inside the terminal block 6. After the wiring is completed, the protective cover 3 is rotated to drive the reserved hole 5 to slide and connect with the wire, so that the protective cover 3 effectively protects the wiring port. In addition, the limiting mechanism can effectively and quickly disassemble the protective cover 3 and the meter head 2.
[0026] A limit frame 4 is fixed at one end of the top of the base 1. The two ends of the limit frame 4 are rotatably connected to the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 respectively. The two ends of the limit frame 4 are rotatably connected to the ends of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 that are close to each other.
[0027] The bottom ends of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 that are close to each other rotate with the limiting frame 4. The limiting frame 4 effectively limits the end of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 that are close to each other, while the limiting mechanism effectively limits the end of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 that are far apart, thereby effectively fixing the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3.
[0028] The limiting mechanism includes a spring 8, a limiting block 9, a guide rail 10, and a lever 11. The two ends of the inner side of the base 1 are provided with mounting grooves 13. The bottom ends of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3, which are far apart from each other, are provided with slots. The inner side of the mounting groove 13 is slidably connected to the limiting block 9. The top end of the limiting block 9 is slidably connected to the slot. The bottom end of the inner side of the mounting groove 13 is fixed with the spring 8. The top end of the spring 8 is fixed with the limiting block 9. The outer side of the limiting block 9 is fixed with the lever 11. The two ends of the base 1 are provided with guide rails 10. The inner side of the guide rails 10 is slidably connected to the lever 11.
[0029] Specifically, when the rotating meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 are limited by the limiting frame 4, the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 drive the slot to engage with the limiting block 9, and the elasticity of the spring 8 drives the limiting block 9 to effectively engage with the slot, thereby effectively fitting the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3 with the base 1.
[0030] When it is necessary to disassemble the protective cover 3 and the meter head 2, the lever 11 is moved downwards. At this time, the lever 11 drives the limit block 9 to disengage from the inside of the slot of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3, so as to facilitate the effective disassembly of the meter head 2 and the protective cover 3.
[0031] A sealing gasket 12 is fixed to the other end of the base 1, and the top of the sealing gasket 12 is slidably connected to the meter head 2.
[0032] The protective cover 3 has several reserved holes 5 at one end, through which external wires can pass and connect to the terminal block 6.
