Obviously, the embodiments described below 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an energy meter with a sliding rail mounting assembly, including an energy meter 1 and a second housing 19, and also includes a connecting groove 2, a moving groove 3, a first connecting rail 4, a fixing pin 5, an auxiliary mechanism and an adjustment mechanism;

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting groove 2 is located on the side of the energy meter 1. The energy meter 1 consists of a casing and a meter body. Both the connecting groove 2 and the moving groove 3 are located on the casing, and the moving groove 3 is located on the back of the energy meter 1. The first connecting rail 4 is installed inside the second housing 19 and is slidably connected to the moving groove 3. The fixing pin 5 is threaded through the energy meter 1. The fixing pin 5 is an internal hex bolt. The size of the connecting groove 2 is sufficient for the operator to use an internal hex wrench to install and remove the fixing pin 5. Furthermore, the length of the fixing pin 5 is smaller than the internal size of the connecting groove 2, so it will not affect the installation of the fixing pin 5. One end of the fixing pin 5 that penetrates into the energy meter 1 abuts against the first connecting rail 4. The first housing 6 is installed on the back of the second housing 19. The auxiliary mechanism is located inside the second housing 19, and the adjustment mechanism is located inside the first housing 6.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary mechanism includes a movable frame 7, a fixed tube 8, a first buffer spring 9, a blocking plate 11, and a second connecting rail 12. The movable frame 7 is slidably connected inside the second housing 19. The fixed tube 8 is installed inside the movable frame 7, and the first buffer spring 9 is installed inside the fixed tube 8. The second connecting rail 12 moves backward, causing the blocking plate 11 to move backward. The blocking plate 11 moves backward, causing the movable column 10 to move backward. The movable column 10 moves backward, compressing the first buffer spring 9, thus avoiding interference with the operator's normal installation of the energy meter 1. The movable column 10 passes through the inside of the fixed tube 8. The blocking plate 11 is installed at the front end of the movable column 10. The second connecting rail 12 is installed on the front side of the blocking plate 11. The front end of the first buffer spring 9 is installed at the rear end of the movable column 10. Adjustment mechanism The system includes an auxiliary rod 13, a threaded rod 14, and a movable block 15. The auxiliary rod 13 is rotatably connected inside the first housing 6, the threaded rod 14 is rotatably connected inside the first housing 6, and the movable block 15 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 14. The movable block 15 is slidably connected inside the first housing 6. As the movable block 15 moves inward along the outer surface of the threaded rod 14, the first connecting frame 16 pushes the flip plate 17 to flip inward. The inward flipping of the flip plate 17 causes the second connecting frame 18 to move forward, adjusting the movable frame 7. The first connecting frame 16 is mounted on the front of the movable block 15, the flip plate 17 is rotatably connected inside the first connecting frame 16, and the second connecting frame 18 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the flip plate 17. The front of the second connecting frame 18 is mounted on the back of the movable frame 7.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, a connecting frame 20 is installed inside the second housing 19, and a second buffer spring 21 is installed inside the connecting frame 20. A connecting post 22 is installed at the top of the second buffer spring 21. The connecting post 22 is slidably connected inside the connecting frame 20. A plug pin 23 is provided through the front of the connecting frame 20. One end of the plug pin 23 that passes through the connecting frame 20 abuts against the connecting post 22. A plug rod 24 is provided inside the connecting post 22. A fixing plate 25 is installed on the inner side of the plug rod 24. A fixing groove is provided inside the fixing plate 25 to fix the connection position of the wire and the base of the air switch, so as to prevent the wire from being pulled out during the movement of the energy meter 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, an air switch 26 is installed inside the second housing 19. It should be noted that the electricity meter 1 is connected to the air switch 26 via a wire, and the fixing plate 25 fixes this part of the wire. A wire hole 27 is provided on the lower surface of the second housing 19 for the wire connecting the air switch 26 to the external user to pass through.

[0035] Working principle: The energy meter 1 is inserted into the second housing 19 and contacts the second connecting rail 12. This causes the second connecting rail 12 to move backward, which in turn moves the blocking plate 11 backward. The blocking plate 11 then moves the moving column 10 backward. The moving column 10 moves backward along the inside of the fixed tube 8, compressing the first buffer spring 9. The aforementioned structures, such as the second connecting rail 12 and the blocking plate 11, are all... Figure 1 The structure located on the right side of the energy meter 1 allows the moving groove 3 to slide along the first connecting rail 4, moving the energy meter 1 to a fixed position. The fixing pin 5 is then inserted into the energy meter 1, and rotated clockwise to press against the first connecting rail 4. The energy meter 1 and the air switch 26 are connected by a wire. It should be noted that the wire is not a straight connection from the air switch 26 to the energy meter 1. The excess wire is placed inside the connecting frame 20. Pulling out the plug pin 23 causes the second buffer spring 21 to rebound, driving the connecting post 22 to move upward. The connecting post 22 moves upward along the connecting frame 20. After the connecting post 22 has moved upward, the plug pin 23 is passed through the connecting frame 20 to press against the connecting post 22. The fixing plate 25 clamps the root of the wire connected to the air switch 26, and then the plug rod 24 is inserted into the connecting post 22 to protect the root of the wire.

[0036] When the electricity meter 1 needs maintenance, loosen the fixing pin 5 counterclockwise, and manipulate the electricity meter 1 to move to the left along the first connecting rail 4 through the moving groove 3. The leftward movement of the electricity meter 1 causes the second connecting rail 12 to slide into the moving groove 3. Tighten the fixing pin 5 on the right side, causing the moving groove 3 to disengage from the first connecting rail 4. Rotate the threaded rod 14 on the left side to drive the moving block 15 on the left side to move inward along the first housing 6. The inward movement of the moving block 15 on the left side drives the first connecting frame 16 on the left side to move inward. The inward movement of the first connecting frame 16 on the left side pushes the flip plate 17 on the left side to flip forward. The forward flip plate 17 on the left side drives the second connecting frame 18 on the left side to move forward. The second connecting frame 18 on the left moves forward, causing the moving frame 7 on the left to move forward. The moving frame 7 on the left moves forward, causing the fixed pipe 8 on the left to move forward. The fixed pipe 8 on the left moves forward, causing the moving column 10 on the left to move forward. The moving column 10 on the left moves forward, causing the blocking plate 11 on the left to move forward. The blocking plate 11 on the left moves forward, causing the second connecting rail 12 on the left to move forward, pushing the energy meter 1 forward. The operator then inspects the energy meter 1. After the inspection is completed, the above operation is reversed, and the energy meter 1 is moved back to its original position. During this process, the fixing plate 25 always fixes the root of the wire to prevent the wire from falling off during the movement of the energy meter 1.

[0037] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
