[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments. Example 1

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an interlocking structure for the door of an electric meter box, including: a box body 1, an installation cavity 2 is opened inside the box body 1, a fixed shell 3 is fixedly installed inside the installation cavity 2, a door panel 4 is movably connected to the front end of the box body 1, a glass plate 5 is embedded in the outer wall of the door panel 4, a lock block 6 is embedded in the inner wall of the door panel 4 at the position corresponding to the fixed shell 3, and a linkage mechanism 7 is provided inside the fixed shell 3.

[0032] The linkage mechanism 7 includes an abutment block 701, which is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the door panel 4. An abutment cylinder 702 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the abutment block 701.

[0033] Specifically, an insertion hole 703 is provided on the outer wall of the fixed shell 3 at the position corresponding to the contact block 701, a sliding block 704 is slidably connected to one side of the inner side of the fixed shell 3, and a sliding plate 705 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block 704.

[0034] Furthermore, by closing the door panel 4, the abutment block 701 is inserted into the fixed shell 3, thereby abutting and pushing the sliding block 704, which allows the sliding plate 705 to move.

[0035] Specifically, a positioning block 707 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of another door panel 4, and a positioning hole 706 is opened on the outer wall of the fixed shell 3 at the position corresponding to the positioning block 707.

[0036] Furthermore, the positioning block 707, which is fixed to the door panel 4 without the lock block 6, is inserted into the fixing shell 3 through the positioning hole 706. The positioning hole 706 guides and limits the positioning block 707.

[0037] Specifically, a fixing plate 708 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the sliding plate 705, a positioning rod 709 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 708, and a first spring 710 is embedded in the axial outer wall of the sliding plate 705.

[0038] Furthermore, when the positioning block 707 is inserted, the movement of the sliding plate 705 allows the fixing plate 708 to drive the positioning rod 709 to move. The positioning rod 709 is inserted into the fixing plate 708 to be fixed. By locking one door panel 4, other door panels 4 can be interlocked.

[0039] Specifically, the contact block 701 extends into the interior of the fixed shell 3, and the contact block 701 and the contact cylinder 702 form a rotating structure.

[0040] Furthermore, by rotating the contact cylinder 702 to contact the sliding block 704, the sliding block 704 can be smoothly contacted and pushed to move.

[0041] In use, three mounting cavities 2 are first opened in a housing 1 for assembling electrical equipment such as meters. At the same time, each mounting cavity 2 is movably connected to a door panel 4 via a hinge. When it is necessary to close the door, press down on two door panels 4 with positioning blocks 707 so that the positioning blocks 707 can be inserted into the positioning holes 706. Then press down on the door panel 4 with the locking block 6 and lock it with the keyhole on the fixed shell 3. At this time, the abutment block 701 enters the fixed shell 3 through the insertion hole 703 and abuts against the sliding block 704 through the abutment cylinder 702, causing the sliding plate 705 to move. This causes the fixed plate 708 to follow the movement and allow the positioning rod 709 to be inserted into the positioning block 707, thereby locking the other two door panels 4 to achieve an interlocking effect. When opening and closing, the sliding plate 705 is reset by the elastic push of the first spring 710.

[0042] In summary, locking one door panel 4, in conjunction with the contact block 701 and the contact cylinder 702, allows the sliding block 704 and the sliding plate 705 to move, causing the positioning rod 709 to lock the positioning block 707. This allows the opening and closing of one door panel 4 to simultaneously interlock the other two door panels 4, enabling them to open and close at the same time. This avoids the inconvenience of having to open each door panel individually during maintenance, which would affect maintenance efficiency. Example 2

[0043] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which provides an improved design for the interlocking structure of the meter box door.

[0044] Specifically, a limit block 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding plate 705, and a reset mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the limit block 8.

[0045] Furthermore, the limiting block 8 can improve the stability of the sliding plate 705 during the displacement process and avoid swaying or deviation.

[0046] Specifically, the reset mechanism 9 includes a mounting shell 901, which is fixed to one side of the limiting block 8 inside the fixed shell 3, and a pushing block 902 protrudes from the inside of the mounting shell 901.

[0047] Furthermore, by limiting the push block 902 by mounting the housing 901, the push block 902 can maintain stability when it is displaced.

[0048] Specifically, a limiting plate 903 is fixedly installed at one end of the push block 902 that penetrates into the mounting shell 901, and a second spring 904 is fixedly installed between the limiting plate 903 and the mounting shell 901.

[0049] Furthermore, by using the limiting plate 903 to prevent the pushing block 902 from sliding excessively out of the mounting shell 901, and by the elastic push of the second spring 904, the door panel 4 can be opened simultaneously when the linkage mechanism 7 is in a non-locked state after being opened, thus improving overall convenience.

[0050] When in use, after the lock block 6 is unlocked, the second spring 904 elastically pushes the limiting plate 903, allowing the pushing block 902 to slide stably along the mounting shell 901 and pass through, thereby abutting against the door panel 4 and popping open at the same time. In conjunction with the limiting block 8 passing through the corresponding reserved groove of the mounting shell 901, the stability of the sliding plate 705 during displacement can be improved.

[0051] In summary, by elastically contracting the second spring 904, the door panels 4 can be opened simultaneously after the lock block 6 is opened, making it convenient for staff to open and maintain the internal electrical meters, avoiding the inconvenience of having to pry them open one by one.
