[0002] Electricity consumption data acquisition terminals are devices that collect electricity consumption information from various data collection points, often referred to simply as acquisition terminals. They enable the collection, management, bidirectional transmission, and forwarding or execution of control commands from electricity meters. Currently, when installing acquisition terminals for multiple electricity meters in rural areas, many traditional meter boxes lack available installation space. When installing new terminals, the common practice is to directly fix the terminal casing to the wall by inserting screws into pre-drilled holes until they are firmly embedded in the wall. However, this method requires re-drilling and fixing when disassembling or replacing the terminal, causing damage to the wall and necessitating the use of auxiliary tools, making installation and maintenance inconvenient.

A T-shaped groove 7 is provided on the side wall of the connecting plate 2. A T-shaped slider 8 is slidably installed in the T-shaped groove 7. A positioning mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the T-shaped slider 8. The positioning mechanism includes an I-shaped plate 4. One side of the I-shaped plate 4 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the T-shaped slider 8. A right-side semi-stepped tube 5 is fixedly installed on each of the four corner side walls of the I-shaped plate 4. The right-side semi-stepped tube 5 is correspondingly arranged with the left-side semi-stepped tube 3. An expansion bolt is provided between the right-side semi-stepped tube 5 and the left-side semi-stepped tube 3. A U-shaped traction plate 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the I-shaped plate 4.
[0023] A locking mechanism is rotatably mounted on one side of the U-shaped traction plate 6. The locking mechanism includes a locking plate 10, one side of which is rotatably mounted on the U-shaped traction plate 6. A protrusion is provided on one side of the locking plate 10, and a connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the protrusion. A screw hole 12 is provided on one side of the locking plate 10, and a screw groove is provided on the side wall of the meter housing 1. The screw groove and the screw hole 12 are matched and set. The locking plate 10 and the meter housing 1 can be quickly fixed by screws through the provided screw groove and screw hole 12.
[0024] One end of the protrusion on the positioning plate 10 is inserted into the U-shaped traction plate 6, and the positioning plate 10 and the U-shaped traction plate 6 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft. A positioning opening is provided on the side wall of the positioning plate 10, and one end of the U-shaped frame 11 is provided through the positioning opening. A positioning groove 9 is provided on one side of the meter housing 1 and the connecting plate 2, and the U-shaped frame 11 is fixedly installed in the positioning groove 9.
[0025] A guide slot 13 is provided on the side wall of the positioning plate 10. A guide slide plate 14 is slidably installed in the guide slot 13. A limit block 16 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the guide slide plate 14, and one end of the limit block 16 is inserted into the U-shaped frame 11. A spring post 15 is fixedly installed on the end side wall of the guide slide plate 14, and one end of the spring post 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide slot 13.

Alternatively, it can be directly locked on the U-shaped frame 11 by a mechanical lock to prevent the power acquisition terminal from being taken away at will.
[0026] In summary: During assembly, the workers first drive the expansion bolts into the wall. Then, the left half-step tube 3 on the connecting plate 2 is brought close to and fastened to the expansion bolt. Next, the U-shaped traction plate 6 is pulled, causing the I-shaped plate 4 to move. This causes the I-shaped plate 4 to move the right half-step tube 5 to press against the expansion bolt. The connecting plate 2, through the combination of the left and right half-step tubes 3 and 5 at the four corners, completes the locking of the expansion bolt. Thus, the connecting plate 2 and the meter housing 1 are hooked onto the expansion bolt. Then, the locking mechanism on the U-shaped traction plate 6 is rotated... Plate 10 allows the positioning plate 10 to be inserted into the loop frame 11 of the positioning slot 9 through the positioning port. The staff can lock it with a mechanical lock or fix it by inserting the limit block 16 into the loop frame 11. So when it is necessary to replace or maintain the power acquisition terminal, it is only necessary to loosen the fixing between the positioning plate 10 and the loop frame 11, thereby pushing the I-shaped plate 4 to drive the right half-step tube 5 to loosen the locking of the expansion bolt. Therefore, there is no need to re-drill holes in the wall, and no tools are needed when assembling and replacing the power acquisition terminal.
