Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metering box technology, specifically a non-metallic metering box. Background Technology

[0002] A metering box is a special enclosure used to install electricity meters. It is an important device in the power system for electricity metering and data acquisition. It can protect the electricity meter from the influence of the external environment and ensure the accuracy and safety of the metering. According to the material, it can be divided into non-metallic metering boxes and metal metering boxes.

[0003] Existing non-metallic metering boxes are generally fixed to the wall by expansion bolts passing through mounting holes on the box body. However, the size of the mounting holes is fixed. During installation, the expansion bolts carried by the staff may not correspond to the size of the mounting holes. If the expansion bolt size is larger than the mounting hole size, it will be difficult to pass the expansion bolt through the mounting hole for installation. If the expansion bolt size is smaller than the mounting hole size, the expansion bolt and the box body may be displaced, resulting in an unstable installation of the box body. In addition, there is a certain gap between the expansion bolt and the mounting hole, and external moisture can easily enter the box body through the gap, which may lead to malfunctions such as short circuits. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a non-metallic metering box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a non-metallic metering box, comprising a box body and a cover detachably mounted on one side of the box body. The box body has four rectangularly distributed mounting holes. A first fixing sleeve, a second fixing sleeve, and a third fixing sleeve are sequentially arranged on the inner wall of each mounting hole, and the first, second, and third fixing sleeves are concentrically arranged. A first disassembly seam is formed between the first fixing sleeve and the box body, and multiple first connecting pieces are provided inside the first disassembly seam. A second disassembly seam is formed between the second fixing sleeve and the first fixing sleeve, and multiple second connecting pieces are provided inside the second disassembly seam. A third disassembly seam is formed between the third fixing sleeve and the second fixing sleeve, and multiple third connecting pieces are provided inside the third disassembly seam. A support cylinder corresponding to the mounting holes is integrally formed on the inner side wall of the box body, and a cover is threadedly connected to the outer side of the support cylinder.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of the first connectors is greater than the number of the second connectors, and the number of the second connectors is greater than the number of the third connectors.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing ring is installed on the inner side wall of the cover.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer side wall of the cover is provided with anti-slip protrusions at equal intervals along the circumference.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, through the setting of a first fixing sleeve, a second fixing sleeve, a third fixing sleeve, a first connector, a second connector, a third connector, a first disassembly seam, a second disassembly seam, and a third disassembly seam, allows the mounting hole to be adapted to expansion bolts of different sizes, avoiding large gaps between the expansion bolts and the box body, which would lead to insecure installation of the box body. Furthermore, the setting of the support cylinder and the cover can block the mounting hole, preventing external moisture from entering the box body through the mounting hole, which would lead to a decrease in the internal insulation performance of the box body and cause faults such as short circuits.

[0020] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a technical solution: a non-metallic metering box, including a box body 1 and a cover 2 detachably installed on one side of the box body 1. Four rectangularly distributed mounting holes 3 are provided through the box body 1. A first fixing sleeve 4, a second fixing sleeve 5, and a third fixing sleeve 6 are sequentially arranged on the inner wall of the mounting holes 3. The diameter of the first fixing sleeve 4 is larger than that of the second fixing sleeve 5, and the diameter of the second fixing sleeve 5 is larger than that of the third fixing sleeve 6. One end of the second fixing sleeve 5 is lower than one end of the first fixing sleeve 4, and one end of the third fixing sleeve 6 is lower than one end of the second fixing sleeve 5, such that the second fixing sleeve 5 and the first fixing sleeve 4... A circular groove is formed between the first and second fixing sleeves. A similar circular groove is formed between the second fixing sleeve 5 and the third fixing sleeve 6. This provides a certain degree of restraint for the expansion bolt, allowing it to align with the mounting hole 3. When installing the housing 1, the expansion bolt is aligned with the mounting hole 3. If the diameter of the expansion bolt is the same as that of the third fixing sleeve 6, one end of the expansion bolt is tapped with a tool. The third connector 15 breaks, separating the third fixing sleeve 6 from the second fixing sleeve 5. The expansion bolt can then pass through the mounting hole 3 to fix the housing 1. Similarly, when the diameter of the expansion bolt is the same as that of the second fixing sleeve 5 or the first fixing sleeve 4... Simultaneously, the second fixing sleeve 5 or the first fixing sleeve 4 will detach, preventing a large gap between the expansion bolt and the housing 1, which could lead to an unstable installation of the housing 1. The first fixing sleeve 4, the second fixing sleeve 5, and the third fixing sleeve 6 are concentrically arranged. A first disassembly seam 7 is provided between the first fixing sleeve 4 and the housing 1 to facilitate separation of the first fixing sleeve 4 from the housing 1. Multiple first connecting pieces 13 are provided inside the first disassembly seam 7. A second disassembly seam 8 is provided between the second fixing sleeve 5 and the first fixing sleeve 4 to facilitate separation of the second fixing sleeve 5 from the first fixing sleeve 4. The interior of the seam 8 is provided with multiple second connectors 14. A third disassembly seam 9 is provided between the third fixing sleeve 6 and the second fixing sleeve 5. The third disassembly seam 9 facilitates the separation of the third fixing sleeve 6 and the second fixing sleeve 5. The interior of the third disassembly seam 9 is provided with multiple third connectors 15. The inner side wall of the box body 1 is integrally formed with a support cylinder 11 corresponding to the mounting hole 3. The outer side of the support cylinder 11 is threaded with a cover 10. The support cylinder 11 and the cover 10 cooperate to cover the mounting hole 3, preventing external moisture from entering the box body 1 through the mounting hole 3, which would cause the insulation performance of the box body 1 to decrease and cause faults such as short circuits.

[0022] The number of first connectors 13 is greater than the number of second connectors 14, making the second fixing sleeve 5 easier to knock off than the first fixing sleeve 4, thus preventing the first fixing sleeve 4 from separating from the housing 1 when the second fixing sleeve 5 is knocked off. The number of second connectors 14 is greater than the number of third connectors 15, making the third fixing sleeve 6 easier to knock off than the second fixing sleeve 5, thus preventing the second fixing sleeve 5 from separating from the first fixing sleeve 4 when the third fixing sleeve 6 is knocked off.

[0023] The inner wall of the cover 10 is equipped with a sealing ring 12. When the cover 10 is tightened onto the support cylinder 11, the cover 10 and the support cylinder 11 will squeeze the sealing ring 12, thereby sealing the support cylinder 11 and the cover 10 to improve the waterproof effect of the cover 10 and the support cylinder 11.

[0024] The outer wall of the cover 10 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 16 at equal intervals along the circumference. The anti-slip protrusions 16 are used to increase friction, so that the cover 10 is less likely to slip when it is rotated.

[0025] Specifically, when installing the housing 1, take the expansion bolt and align it with the mounting hole 3. If the diameter of the expansion bolt is the same as that of the third fixing sleeve 6, tap one end of the expansion bolt with a tool. The expansion bolt will squeeze the third fixing sleeve 6, causing the third connecting piece 15 to break. The third fixing sleeve 6 will separate from the second fixing sleeve 5 and be pushed out of the mounting hole 3 by the expansion bolt. Then the expansion bolt can pass through the mounting hole 3 to fix the housing 1. Similarly, when the diameter of the expansion bolt is the same as that of the second fixing sleeve 5, the second fixing sleeve 5 and the third fixing sleeve 6 will fall off at the same time. When the diameter of the expansion bolt is the same as that of the first fixing sleeve 4, the third fixing sleeve 6, the second fixing sleeve 5, and the first fixing sleeve 4 will fall off at the same time. This ensures that the mounting hole 3 is compatible with the expansion bolt, avoiding a large gap between the expansion bolt and the housing 1, which would cause the housing 1 to be not installed securely. After tightening the expansion bolt, screw the cover 10 to the outside of the support cylinder 11 to block the mounting hole 3 and prevent external moisture from entering the housing 1 through the mounting hole 3.
