[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, when the adjustment mechanism is in operation, pressing the two pressing bars will cause the pressing bars to squeeze the spring together. The fixed part at the bottom of the pressing bar will drive the limiting bar to slide in the slot on the inner wall of the slide plate. This allows the slide plate to be moved according to the wiring requirements. After releasing the pressing bar, the spring force will cause the pressing bar to pop out to both sides, and at the same time, it will cause the limiting bar to slide into the slot, thereby fixing the pressing bar. When fixing the line, the wire is placed between the two clamping plates. The first clamping block and the second clamping block cooperate to form a slot. When pressing down, the first fixing block will squeeze the spring. The spring will drive the connecting buckle to move down. One end of the connecting buckle slides into the slot between the first clamping block and the second clamping block and is locked. At this time, the two clamping plates will slide into the inner wall of the limiting block and lock the wire together. Pressing the clamping plates again will cause the connecting buckle to move down between the first clamping block and the second clamping block and slide out from the other side of the two clamping blocks. The spring force will pop out the two clamping plates, making the wiring more convenient.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the telescopic device is activated. When the telescopic device extends, it drives the joint shaft to rotate. The other end of the joint shaft drives the bent rod to move. One end of the bent rod is fixed to the fixed block, and one end of the fixed block is fixed to the box door. Therefore, when the bent rod drives the fixed block to move upward, the fixed block will drive the box door to move up and down. If it is necessary to close, the telescopic device is activated to retract, which can drive the bent rod, fixed block and other components to return to their original positions, realizing the rapid opening and closing of the box door. The inner wall of the box door is provided with a limit groove. When the box door moves, the sliding plate will move in the limit groove to ensure that the box door slides smoothly, making it more convenient to inspect the power box. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this utility model is an energy metering box that facilitates wiring, comprising an energy box 1, an adjustment mechanism 2 provided on the inner wall of the energy box 1, and an opening and closing mechanism 3 provided on one side of the inner wall of the energy box 1.

[0027] The adjustment mechanism 2 includes three sliding plates 201, which are fixed parallel to each other on the inner wall of the power box 1, forming the basic sliding track of the adjustment mechanism 2. The inner wall of each of the three sliding plates 201 is provided with multiple slots 202, and the outer wall of each of the three sliding plates 201 is slidably connected with multiple sliders 203. The multiple slots 202 are evenly distributed along the length of the sliding plate 201 and are used to cooperate with the limiting component to achieve position fixation. The interior of each slider 203 is slidably connected with two pressing strips 204, which are symmetrically distributed inside the slider 203 and can slide left and right along the interior of the slider 203.

[0028] Both pressing strips 204 have a fixed limit strip 206 at their bottom. The pressing strip 204 drives the limit strip 206 to move synchronously. The limit strip 206 can be inserted into the slot 202 to lock the position of the slider 203. Two springs 1 205 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two pressing strips 204. The two springs 1 205 are symmetrically arranged between the pressing strips 204 to provide a reset elastic force for the pressing strips 204. Two limit blocks 208 are fixedly connected to the top of the multiple sliders 203. The two limit blocks 208 are vertically fixed on both sides of the top of the slider 203 to provide installation support for subsequent components. Springs 227 are fixedly connected inside the two limit blocks 208. The springs 227 are vertically installed inside the limit blocks 208 to provide longitudinal elastic force.

[0029] One end of spring 207 is fixedly connected to fixing block 211. The elastic force of spring 207 drives fixing block 211 to make lateral fine adjustments to adapt to different wiring spacing. The top of fixing block 211 is rotatably connected to clamping plate 212, which is used to clamp and fix wires. The outer wall of fixing block 211 is rotatably connected to connecting buckle 213, which is used to fasten clamping plate 212 to maintain its clamping state. The top of power box 1 is provided with rotating component 4.

[0030] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The opening and closing mechanism 3 includes two connecting blocks 31. One end of each connecting block 31 is fixedly connected to a telescopic device 32, which provides a stable mounting support for the telescopic device 32. The driving end of the telescopic device 32 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 33, and the driving force of the telescopic device 32 is transmitted to the next component through the connecting block 33. The outer wall of the connecting block 33 is rotatably connected to a joint shaft 34, which provides a rotation fulcrum for the joint shaft 34. One end of the joint shaft 34 is fixedly connected to a bent rod 35, which drives the bent rod 35 to move synchronously when the joint shaft 34 rotates. One end of the bent rod 35 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 36, and the bent rod 35 is stably connected to the subsequent components through the fixing block 36.

[0031] One end of the fixing block 36 is fixedly connected to the door 37. The fixing block 36 transmits power to the door 37, causing the door 37 to open and close. The inner wall of the door 37 has a limit groove 38, which can cooperate with the corresponding limit component on the power box 1 to ensure that the door 37 is in an accurate and stable position when closed. The rotating assembly 4 includes two rotating shafts 41. The outer walls of the two rotating shafts 41 are fixedly connected to sliding plates 42. When the rotating shafts 41 rotate, they drive the sliding plates 42 to rotate synchronously. The outer walls of the two rotating shafts 41 are rotatably connected to the top of the power box 1. The top of the power box 1 provides rotational support for the rotating shafts 41, allowing the rotating shafts 41 to rotate flexibly and thereby drive the sliding plates 42 to adjust their position.

[0032] The outer wall of the limiting strip 206 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide plate 201. The limiting strip 206 can slide smoothly along the inner wall of the slide plate 201. The inner wall of the slider 203 is fixedly connected to the first slot block 209. The first slot block 209 provides a sliding limit for the pressing strip 204 inside the slider 203, preventing the pressing strip 204 from detaching from the slider 203. The inner wall of the slider 203 is fixedly connected to the second slot block 210. The second slot block 210 cooperates with the first slot block 209 to jointly limit the sliding range of the pressing strip 204 and enhance the structural stability. The outer wall of the first fixing block 211 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block 208. The first fixing block 211 can slide laterally on the inner wall of the limiting block 208. The outer wall of the wire clamping plate 212 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block 208. The sliding of the wire clamping plate 212 on the inner wall of the limiting block 208 provides space for its rotation and opening and closing, ensuring smooth wire clamping action and controllable position.

[0033] One side of the connecting block 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power box 1. The fixed connection between the connecting block 31 and the inner wall of the power box 1 provides a stable installation base for the entire opening and closing mechanism 3, ensuring stable power transmission. One side of the joint shaft 34 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the power box 1, enhancing the stability of the door 37 when opening and closing. The outer wall of the sliding plate 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 38. The sliding of the sliding plate 42 in the inner wall of the limiting groove 38 realizes the cooperation between the rotating component 4 and the door 37. The outer wall of the door 37 contacts the outer wall of the power box 1. The contact between the door 37 and the outer wall of the power box 1 ensures that the door 37 can completely cover the opening when closed, playing a protective role. A cable routing hole 5 is opened at the bottom of the power box 1. The cable routing hole 5 provides a channel for external wires to enter the interior of the power box 1, facilitating centralized wiring and management. The bottom of the sliding plate 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power box 1, providing reliable support for the sliding of the slider 203.

[0034] Working principle: The inner wall of the power box 1 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism 2 and an opening and closing mechanism 3. The adjustment mechanism 2 works by pressing two pressing strips 204. The pressing strips 204 drive the limiting strip 206 to slide on the inner wall of the slide plate 201, which can move the slide plate 201 according to the desired wiring position. After releasing the pressing strips 204, the elastic force of the spring 1 205 causes the pressing strips 204 to pop out to both sides, and causes the limiting strip 206 to slide into the slot 202 to fix the pressing strips 204. When fixing the wire, the wire is placed between the two clamping plates 212. The slot block 1 209 and the slot block 2 210 cooperate to form a slot. When pressed down, the fixing block 211 compresses the spring 207, and the spring 207 drives the connecting buckle 213 to move downward. One end of the connecting buckle 213 slides into the slot between the slot block 209 and the slot block 210 and gets stuck. At this time, the two clamping plates 212 slide into the inner wall of the limiting block 208 and get stuck together with the wire. When the clamping plates 212 are pressed down again, the connecting buckle 213 moves downward between the slot block 209 and the slot block 210. The connecting buckle 213 slides out from the other side of the two slot blocks, and the elastic force of the spring 207 pops out the two clamping plates 212, making wiring more convenient.

[0035] When the telescopic device 32 is activated, it extends and drives the joint shaft 34 to rotate. The other end of the joint shaft 34 drives the bent rod 35 to move. One end of the bent rod 35 is fixed to the second fixed block 36, and one end of the second fixed block 36 is fixed to the door 37. When the bent rod 35 moves, it drives the second fixed block 36 to move upward, and the second fixed block 36 drives the door 37 to move. If it is necessary to close, the telescopic device 32 is activated to retract, which will drive the bent rod 35 and the second fixed block 36 and other components to return to their original positions. This enables the door 37 to open and close quickly. The inner wall of the door 37 has a limiting groove 38. When the door 37 moves, the sliding plate 42 moves in the limiting groove 38 to make the door 37 slide smoothly, making it more convenient to inspect the power box 1.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
