Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of meter box technology, specifically a direct-insertion meter box. Background Technology
[0002] Electricity meter boxes generally adopt an integrated design concept, which integrates various electricity meters and the entire metering circuit into a single box. This can prevent electricity thieves from touching the metering device and prevent electricity theft. At the same time, multiple electricity meters are installed in the meter box to monitor electricity consumption in real time.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN118739075A discloses a direct-insertion quick-installation meter box, comprising a box body and multiple meter bodies. Each meter body has edges and a first fixing lug on both sides, and a second fixing lug on the top. The box body has an internal support frame, with two mounting plates fixedly connected inside. Each mounting plate has two clamps fixedly connected to one side, and each clamp has a slot on one side. This invention allows the meter body to be inserted into the slot of the clamp via the first fixing lug, thus fitting the meter body against the mounting plate. A blocking component quickly locks the second fixing lug in place, while a pressing component presses down on the edges of the meter body, further securing the meter body. This achieves rapid meter installation, is simple and convenient, and effectively improves work efficiency. However, this solution has the following drawbacks: while pressing down on the edges of the meter body with the pressing component allows for quick meter installation, it requires frequent rotation, making the process cumbersome and inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a direct-insertion meter box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a direct-insertion meter box, which aims to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing method of pressing the edges on both sides of the meter body with a clamping component can quickly install the meter, but requires frequent operation and rotation, which is cumbersome and inconvenient to use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a direct-insertion meter box, comprising a meter box body, a sealing cover rotatably connected to one side of the meter box body, and a fixing mechanism provided inside the meter box body;
[0007] To address the problem that existing methods, which use clamping components to press the edges of the meter body on both sides for quick installation but require frequent rotation, are cumbersome and inconvenient, the fixing mechanism includes a mounting slot block fixedly connected inside the meter box body. A mounting plate is installed inside the mounting slot block, and the mounting plate is slidably connected to the mounting slot block. The meter body is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate. Fixing rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the meter box body. Moving rods are installed inside the fixing rods. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to one end of each moving rod. A mounting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate. The mounting plate has openings on both sides for... The mounting rod is fitted with a mounting slot, and the mounting rod is inserted into the mounting slot. A sliding connecting plate is used, which pushes the moving rod to slide inside the fixed rod. This causes the connecting plate to move the mounting rod to the outside of the mounting slot block. The mounting plate is then inserted into the slot of the mounting slot block through the meter body. The mounting plate and the mounting slot block are slidably connected, allowing the mounting plate to be installed inside the mounting slot block. The moving rod pushes the connecting plate to move, and the connecting plate pushes the mounting rod to move inside the mounting slot block, so that the mounting rod is inserted and fixed into the mounting slots on both sides of the mounting plate. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the meter body, making it easy to install and fix the meter body. The operation is simple, quick, and convenient.
[0008] Preferably, to address the issues of ease of use and fixation of the movable rod, the movable rod and the fixed rod are slidably connected. Fixing holes are provided at both ends of the fixed rod. A connecting rod is installed inside one end of the movable rod within the fixed rod. The connecting rod is adapted to the fixing hole and is inserted into it. Pressing the connecting rod causes it to slide inside the movable rod under force. The connecting rod compresses a spring on its side, allowing it to enter the movable rod and push it to slide inside the fixed rod. Through the two sets of fixing holes, the movable rod can be fixed inside and outside the fixed rod respectively, thus facilitating operation and ease of use.
[0009] Preferably, to address the issue of convenient operation of the plug-in rod, the plug-in rod is slidably connected to the moving rod. One end of the plug-in rod, located inside the moving rod, is T-shaped, and a spring is installed inside the moving rod. The spring is fixedly connected between the inside of the moving rod and the end of the plug-in rod located inside the moving rod. The plug-in rod is slidably connected to the moving rod, and the spring on the side of the plug-in rod compresses the spring. The spring allows the plug-in rod to easily return to its original shape, making it convenient to use.
[0010] Preferably, to solve the problem of avoiding tangled and messy wires, fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the meter box body. Guide rods are fixedly connected inside each fixing block. Two sets of fixing plates are provided on the outside of each guide rod. Multiple fixing slots are opened on opposite sides of the two sets of fixing plates. The fixing slots are adapted to the connecting wire harness of the meter body. Pulling the two sets of fixing plates causes the fixing plates to slide outside the guide rods, thereby compressing the second spring set on the side of the fixing plates. The connecting wire harness of the meter body is placed between the two sets of fixing plates. The fixing plates are subjected to the rebound force of the second spring, thereby fixing the wire harness inside the fixing slots opened in the two sets of fixing plates. This makes it easy to fix the wire harness and avoids tangled and messy wire harnesses, making it convenient to use.
[0011] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of easy movement of the fixing plate, the two sets of fixing plates are symmetrically arranged outside the guide rod, and the fixing plate is slidably connected to the guide rod, so that the fixing plate can be moved easily and is convenient to use.
[0012] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of convenient operation of the fixing plate, two sets of springs are sleeved on the outside of the guide rod. The springs are fixedly connected between the inside of the fixing block and the side of the fixing plate. When the fixing plate moves, the springs on the side are compressed. Through the springs, the fixing plate can be easily restored to its original shape, making it convenient to use.
[0013] This fixing mechanism features a sliding connecting plate that pushes a moving rod within the fixed rod. This causes the connecting plate to move the mounting rod to the outside of the mounting slot, allowing the mounting plate to be inserted into the slot of the mounting block via the meter body. The mounting plate and the mounting slot are slidably connected, allowing the mounting plate to be installed inside the mounting slot. The moving rod pushes the connecting plate, which in turn pushes the mounting rod into the mounting slot, securing it to the mounting slots on both sides of the mounting plate. This facilitates the installation and removal of the meter body, making it easy to install and fix the meter body. The operation is simple, quick, and convenient.
[0014] This fixing mechanism pulls two sets of fixing plates, causing them to slide outside the guide rod. This compresses the second spring on the side of the fixing plate, placing the connecting wire harness of the meter body between the two sets of fixing plates. The fixing plates are subjected to the rebound force of the second spring, which fixes the wire harness inside the fixing grooves opened in the two sets of fixing plates. This makes it easy to fix the wire harness and avoids the wire harness from becoming tangled and twisted, making it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0023] This embodiment provides a direct-insertion meter box, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the direct-insertion meter box includes a meter box body 1, a sealing cover 2 rotatably connected to one side of the meter box body 1, and a fixing mechanism 3 is provided inside the meter box body 1.
[0024] The fixed mechanism 3 makes it easy to install and fix the main body of the meter 33. The operation is simple, quick and convenient.
[0025] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a mounting slot block 31 fixedly connected inside the meter box body 1. The mounting slot block 31 has a mounting plate 32 inside, and the mounting plate 32 is slidably connected to the mounting slot block 31. The meter body 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 32. The meter box body 1 has a fixing rod 34 fixedly connected to both sides. The fixing rod 34 has a moving rod 35 inside, and a connecting plate 36 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving rod 35. The connecting plate 36 has a mounting rod 37 fixedly connected to one side. The mounting plate 32 has mounting slots 38 on both sides that are adapted to the mounting rod 37. The mounting rod 37 is inserted into the mounting slot 38.
[0026] In use, the sliding connecting plate 36 pushes the moving rod 35 to slide inside the fixed rod 34, thereby causing the connecting plate 36 to move the mounting rod 37 to the outside of the mounting slot 31. The mounting plate 32 is then inserted into the slot of the mounting slot 31 through the meter body 33. The mounting plate 32 is slidably connected to the mounting slot 31, allowing the mounting plate 32 to be installed inside the mounting slot 31. The moving rod 35 pushes the connecting plate 36 to move, and the connecting plate 36 pushes the mounting rod 37 to move into the mounting slot 31, so that the mounting rod 37 is inserted and fixed into the mounting slots 38 on both sides of the mounting plate 32. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the meter body 33, making it easy to install and fix the meter body 33. The operation is simple, quick, and convenient.
[0027] Furthermore, the movable rod 35 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 34. Fixed holes 39 are provided at both ends of the fixed rod 34. An insertion rod 40 is provided inside one end of the movable rod 35 within the fixed rod 34. The insertion rod 40 is adapted to the fixed hole 39 and is inserted into it. Pressing the insertion rod 40 causes it to slide inside the movable rod 35 under pressure. The insertion rod 40 compresses the spring 41 on its side, causing it to enter the interior of the movable rod 35 and push it to slide inside the fixed rod 34. Through the two sets of fixed holes 39, the movable rod 35 can be fixed inside and outside the fixed rod 34 respectively, thus facilitating operation and ease of use.
[0028] Furthermore, the plug rod 40 is slidably connected to the moving rod 35. One end of the plug rod 40 is T-shaped inside the moving rod 35, and a spring 41 is installed inside the moving rod 35.

Multiple sets of fixing slots 46 are opened on the opposite side of the two sets of fixing plates 44. The fixing slots 46 are adapted to the wire harness of the meter body 33.
[0031] In use, pull the two sets of fixing plates 44 to slide them outside the guide rod 43, thereby compressing the second spring 45 on the side of the fixing plates 44. The connecting wire harness of the meter body 33 is placed between the two sets of fixing plates 44. The fixing plates 44 are subjected to the rebound force of the second spring 45, which can fix the wire harness inside the fixing groove 46 opened in the two sets of fixing plates 44. This makes it easy to fix the wire harness and avoids the wire harness from becoming tangled and twisted, making it convenient to use.
[0032] Specifically, two sets of fixing plates 44 are symmetrically arranged outside the guide rod 43, and the fixing plates 44 are slidably connected to the guide rod 43, which allows the fixing plates 44 to move easily and is convenient to use.
[0033] Furthermore, two sets of springs 45 are sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 43. The springs 45 are fixedly connected between the inside of the fixing block 42 and the side of the fixing plate 44. During the movement of the fixing plate 44, the springs 45 on the side are compressed. Through the springs 45, the fixing plate 44 can be easily restored to its original state, making it convenient to use.
