Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meter boxes, and more specifically, to a composite meter box that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A meter box, as the name suggests, is a protective enclosure used to install electricity meters. It needs to have good insulation and sufficient structural strength to prevent the meters from being damaged by external forces under normal conditions. Existing meter boxes are widely used because they are made of composite materials with good insulation properties, such as matrix polyester resin and reinforcing materials, which are lightweight and strong.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN213633562U discloses "A Composite Meter Box for Easy Installation," which includes a meter box with two mounting components on its side. These components are symmetrically and horizontally positioned on the side of the meter box and are snap-fitted to it. Each mounting component includes a mounting rod with a first retaining ring on its end face away from the meter box. The first retaining ring is rotatably and bolted to the mounting rod. Two elastic rods are symmetrically arranged on the vertical side of the mounting rod away from the meter box, facing the meter box. This invention solves the problem of low assembly and disassembly efficiency caused by bolted connections in existing meter boxes, but it still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) The existing mounting brackets in the meter box are positioned after height adjustment by disassembling or installing by twisting bolts. However, the operation inside the meter box is difficult due to various accessories and structures blocking the narrow space, which affects the convenience of adjustment.

[0005] (2) The existing meter box accessories require multiple bolts to fix the crossbar, and the mounting plate itself does not have a limiting structure, which affects the ease of installation.

[0006] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a composite meter box that is easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems of existing meter box mounting brackets that require bolts to be twisted for disassembly or installation to achieve height adjustment and positioning. However, the operation inside the meter box is hampered by various structural components that obstruct the narrow space, affecting the convenience of adjustment. Furthermore, the existing meter box accessory mounting brackets require multiple bolts for fixation, and the mounting plate itself lacks a limiting structure, which also affects the ease of installation.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A composite meter box that is easy to install can improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0010] The present invention is as follows:

[0011] Includes a housing, with side grooves on both side walls of the housing, and inserts are embedded in the side grooves. The inserts are provided with height adjustment components on both sides for insertion or disengagement, and a horizontal movement component is provided on the upper center of the insert for adjusting the left and right positions of the mounting components.

[0012] The height adjustment component includes an inner groove, an inner plate is embedded inside the inner groove, a card plate is connected to the outside of the inner plate, and card slots are formed on the front and rear side walls of the side groove.

[0013] The transverse component includes a top plate and a limiting groove. Mounting plates are installed on the lower ends of the front and rear sides of the top plate. The limiting groove is formed on the front and rear side walls of the insert plate. A limiting plate is installed on the inner end of the mounting plate.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a fixing column is installed inside the inner end of the inner groove, a spring is fitted on the outer wall of the fixing column, and a pressure plate is fitted on the outer wall of the fixing column outside the spring.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the first screw groove is formed on the upper side wall of the top plate, the second screw groove is formed on the upper side wall of the insert plate, and bolts are installed inside the first screw groove and the second screw groove.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the card slot is provided with at least fifty sets.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cross-sectional dimensions of the card slot match the cross-sectional dimensions of the card plate.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the pressure plate is connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is connected to the inner groove sidewall.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting groove match the cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting plate.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] In the solution of this utility model:

[0022] 1. With the inner plate, clamping plate, pressure plate, fixing column and spring set up, when installing the electrical control box, various meter components need to be installed in the box. Press the pressure plate from the front and back at the same time to move it into the inner groove, which drives the inner plate and clamping plate to move into the inner groove, so that the clamping plate disengages from the slot. At the same time, the pressure plate slides on the outer wall of the fixing column to squeeze the spring, and pulls the insert plate up and down to make it slide vertically up and down in the side groove. Thus, the height of the mounting plate needs to be adjusted according to the height of the power distribution control components to be installed.

[0023] 2. By adjusting the mounting plate, limiting plate, first screw groove, second screw groove, and bolts, and then releasing the pressure on the pressure plate, the spring releases its potential energy and pushes the clamping plate outward to insert into the aligned clamping groove after adjustment, thus completing the height adjustment of the mounting plate. Twist the bolts upward to make them engage in the first and second screw grooves and remove the mounting plate. Pull the mounting plate left and right, and with the limiting plate embedded in the limiting groove, adjust the mounting plate to the desired position for stability. After adjustment, engage the bolts in the aligned first and second screw grooves to fix the position of the mounting plate. The meter control component can then be installed on the front side of the mounting plate after adjustment. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to illustrate some embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0033] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a composite meter box that is easy to install, including a box body 1. Side grooves 2 are provided on both sides of the box body 1. A panel 3 is embedded in the side groove 2. Height adjustment components for insertion or disengagement are provided on both sides of the panel 3. A horizontal movement component for adjusting the left and right positions of the installation components is provided on the upper center of the panel 3.

[0035] The height adjustment component includes an inner groove 401, an inner plate 402 is embedded inside the inner groove 401, a card plate 403 is connected to the outside of the inner plate 402, and a card slot 404 is formed on the front and rear side walls of the side groove 2.

[0036] The transverse component includes a top plate 501 and a limiting groove 503. Mounting plates 502 are installed on the lower ends of the front and rear sides of the top plate 501. The limiting groove 503 is formed on the front and rear side walls of the insert plate 3. A limiting plate 504 is installed on the inner end of the mounting plate 502.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a fixing post 406 is installed inside the inner end of the inner groove 401. A spring 407 is fitted on the outer wall of the fixing post 406. A pressure plate 405 is fitted on the outer wall of the fixing post 406 outside the spring 407. The pressure plate 405 slides on the outer wall of the fixing post 406 to compress the spring 407, and pulls the insert 3 up and down so that it slides vertically up and down in the side groove 2. Thus, the height of the mounting plate 502 can be adjusted as needed to accommodate the height of the power distribution control components to be installed.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the first screw groove 505 is formed on the upper side wall of the top plate 501, and the second screw groove 506 is formed on the upper side wall of the insert plate 3. Bolts 507 are installed inside the first screw groove 505 and the second screw groove 506. Twisting the bolts 507 makes them engage in the first screw groove 505 and the second screw groove 506 and removes the plate. Pulling the mounting plate 502 left and right, the mounting plate 502 is adjusted to the required position by the limiting plate 504 being embedded in the limiting groove 503. After adjustment, the bolts 507 are engaged and installed in the aligned first screw groove 505 and the second screw groove 506, thus completing the position fixation of the mounting plate 502.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, the card slot 404 is provided with at least fifty sets. The inner plate 402 and the card plate 403 move toward the inner groove 401, so that the card plate 403 is disengaged from the card slot 404. At the same time, the pressure plate 405 slides on the outer wall of the fixed column 406 to compress the spring 407, and pulls the insert 3 up and down so that it slides vertically up and down in the side groove 2.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional dimensions of the slot 404 match the cross-sectional dimensions of the plate 403. The inner plate 402 and the plate 403 move into the inner groove 401, causing the plate 403 to disengage from the slot 404. At the same time, the pressure plate 405 slides on the outer wall of the fixed column 406 to compress the spring 407, pulling the insert 3 up and down so that it slides vertically up and down in the side groove 2. Thus, the height of the mounting plate 502 can be adjusted according to the height of the power distribution control components to be installed.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the pressure plate 405 is connected to one end of the spring 407, and the other end of the spring 407 is connected to the side wall of the inner groove 401. Pressing the pressure plate 405 causes it to move into the inner groove 401, which in turn moves the inner plate 402 and the clamping plate 403 into the inner groove 401, causing the clamping plate 403 to disengage from the clamping slot 404. At the same time, the pressure plate 405 slides on the outer wall of the fixed column 406 to squeeze the spring 407, and pulls the insert 3 up and down to make it slide vertically up and down in the side groove 2.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting groove 503 and the limiting plate 504 are matched. With the limiting plate 504 embedded in the limiting groove 503, the mounting plate 502 can be adjusted to the required position in a stable manner. After adjustment, the bolts 507 are engaged and installed in the aligned first screw groove 505 and second screw groove 506, thus completing the position fixation of the mounting plate 502.

[0043] Specifically: When installing the electrical control box, various meter components need to be installed inside the box 1. Press the pressure plate 405 simultaneously from the front and back to move it into the inner groove 401, which in turn moves the inner plate 402 and the clamping plate 403 into the inner groove 401, causing the clamping plate 403 to disengage from the clamping slot 404. At the same time, the pressure plate 405 slides against the outer wall of the fixing column 406, compressing the spring 407. This pulls the insert plate 3 up and down, causing it to slide vertically up and down in the side groove 2. As needed, the height of the mounting plate 502 needs to be adjusted according to the height of the power distribution control components to be installed. After adjustment, release the pressure on the pressure plate 405, and the spring 407 releases its potential energy. Push the card plate 403 outward and insert it into the aligned card slot 404 after adjustment to complete the height adjustment of the mounting plate 502. Twist the bolt 507 upward to make it engage in the first screw groove 505 and the second screw groove 506 and remove it. Pull the mounting plate 502 left and right. Under the limit of the limit plate 504 embedded in the limit groove 503, the mounting plate 502 is stably adjusted to the required position. After adjustment, engage the bolt 507 in the aligned first screw groove 505 and the second screw groove 506 to fix the position of the mounting plate 502. Then the meter control component can be installed on the front side of the mounting plate 502 after the adjustment position.

[0044] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0045] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
