Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter technology, and in particular to an electricity meter that facilitates checking the meter reading. Background Technology

[0002] An electricity meter, short for energy meter, is an instrument used to measure electrical energy. Also known as a kilowatt-hour meter, it mainly consists of a current coil, a voltage coil, a phase detector, a power device, and a counter. Its working principle is to convert electrical energy into measurable pulses by detecting the phase relationship between current and voltage, thereby achieving the measurement of electrical energy. First, the current coil detects the current flowing through it, and the voltage coil detects the voltage of the power grid; the magnetic fields generated by these two coils interact to produce an electromotive force. Then, the phase detector detects the phase relationship between the current and voltage to determine the power of the electrical energy. The power device generates pulses based on the detected power, and finally, the counter records these pulses, displaying the accumulated electrical energy in digital form.

[0003] Existing electricity meters mostly use a display screen to show electrical energy. The display screen is located inside the meter and is protected by an external casing. However, due to prolonged use, the transparent observation window on the front of the meter is easily covered by dirt, making it inconvenient to check the meter reading. Furthermore, the heat generated inside the meter during operation can cause the observation window to be blocked by water vapor, making it inconvenient to check the meter reading. Therefore, there is a need to propose an electricity meter that facilitates the checking of meter readings. Utility Model Content

Each set of leakage holes 7 is slidably provided with a plug rod 8 inside. The plug rod 8 can block the leakage hole 7 to prevent the cleaning agent from leaking out. Each plug rod 8 has a sealing gasket 17 on its outer ring. The outer ring of the plug rod 8 is fixedly connected to the sealing gasket 17 to prevent liquid leakage and ensure sealing.

[0026] Each plug rod 8 has a connecting plate 9 at its front end. The plug rod 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 9. The outer wall of the connecting plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 6. The connecting plate 9 has a water passage hole 18 to facilitate the passage of liquid. Each threaded block 5 has a cylinder push rod 10 on its front side. The front side of the threaded block 5 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the cylinder push rod 10. The output end of each cylinder push rod 10 extends through into the interior of the liquid storage chamber 6 and is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate 9.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the transparent window 104 is covered by dirt and dust and the reading of the meter on the electronic component 102 cannot be checked, the motor 3 can be operated. The output end of the motor 3 drives the bidirectional screw 4 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 4 can drive the two threaded blocks 5 to move closer or further apart, thereby driving the cleaning brush 11 to move and clean the transparent window 104. When the dirt on the transparent window 104 is difficult to wipe off, the cylinder push rod 10 needs to be operated. The output end of the cylinder push rod 10 drives the connecting plate 9 to move. The movement of the connecting plate 9 can drive the plug rod 8 to move. The movement of the plug rod 8 can be pulled out from the inside of the leakage hole 7, so that the cleaning agent can flow to the cleaning brush 11, making it easier to wipe the transparent window 104. The sewage flowing down from wiping the transparent window 104 will flow into the inside of the dirt receiving plate 12 and be absorbed by the water-absorbing sponge 13 to prevent sewage from splashing. When the water-absorbing sponge 13 is full of water, it can be taken out to squeeze out the sewage, which is convenient for multiple uses.
