Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of metering box installation structure, specifically to an installation structure for an electricity metering box. Background Technology
[0002] An electricity metering box is a device used to measure electrical energy. It is typically mounted on a utility pole using clamps and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is a long rectangular plate, and the clamp consists of two semi-circular rings, one of which has a threaded rod. The threaded rod engages with a fixing hole in the middle of the mounting bracket and is secured with a nut. This allows the electricity metering box to be installed on the bracket. The metering box is then connected and fixed to the mounting bracket using bolts. However, these bolts are susceptible to corrosion from rainwater, leading to rust and affecting the reliability of the connection. Furthermore, disassembly and assembly are difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Additionally, rainwater can easily seep into the box through gaps between the bolts and the mounting holes, increasing the humidity inside and potentially damaging the electricity meter, circuit breaker, and wiring within the box.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN222261876U, which discloses an installation structure for an outdoor SMC (Surface Mount Technology) energy metering box. This installation structure includes a mounting frame, a clamp mounted on the mounting frame, and a main body. The back of the main body has several equally spaced inclined slots from top to bottom. The mounting frame has a through hole, and slots are located on both sides of the through hole. The through hole also has a movable fixing device, and the fixing device has inclined blocks corresponding to the inclined slots. This utility model only requires inserting the main body into the slots, allowing the inclined blocks to embed into the inclined slots. As the main body sinks further, more inclined blocks embed into the slots, increasing the contact area between them and making the connection between the main body and the mounting frame more stable. Rotating the handwheel allows the inclined blocks to leave the slots, completing the disassembly. This saves installation and disassembly time, reduces labor and time costs, and eliminates the need for other tools, making the product convenient to install and disassemble, efficient, and reliable.
[0004] The aforementioned patent allows the inclined block to leave the inclined groove simply by rotating the handwheel, and disassembly can be completed by using the handle, saving installation and disassembly time, reducing labor and time costs, and eliminating the need for other tools to complete the disassembly and assembly. This gives the product the advantages of convenient disassembly and assembly, improved disassembly and assembly efficiency, and reliable connection. However, it cannot fully adjust the vertical usage range of the installation structure, and the structure cannot be adjusted to handle maintenance work at different heights or outdoor protection such as floods.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an installation structure for an electricity metering box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for an electricity metering box. Through the arrangement and cooperation of an adjusting block, an active bevel gear, a guide groove, a support clamp, a screw, and a driven bevel gear, the two support clamps are brought closer together to clamp and fix boxes of different specifications. A clamp is then used to fix the box to a designated utility pole. The positioning block and the positioning groove are adjusted by sliding an operating block within the movable groove. When the positioning block is pushed into the rail groove, the connecting block and the base can move up and down as a whole, controlling the box's lifting and lowering. This facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair while effectively addressing outdoor protection such as flooding, improving the structure's practicality. This solves the problem in existing technologies where the installation structure cannot be fully adjusted for vertical use, and the structure cannot be raised and lowered to handle maintenance work at different heights and outdoor protection such as flooding.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an installation structure for an electricity metering box, comprising a box body, a base, and a vertical frame. The box body is located on the front side of the base. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the base. An adjusting block located at the bottom of the base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod. An active bevel gear is fixedly fitted onto the rotating rod. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the base. Support clamps are slidably limited within each of the two guide grooves. A screw is threadedly connected to the interior of each of the two support clamps. A driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the end of each screw. The driven bevel gear and the driving bevel gear cooperate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base. A limiting cavity is symmetrically opened inside the connecting block. A movable groove is opened on the side of the two limiting cavities that are relatively far apart. A limiting block is slidably arranged inside each of the two limiting cavities. A spring is fixedly connected between the limiting block and the inner wall of the limiting cavity. One end of the limiting block extends to the outside of the movable groove and is fixedly connected to an operating block. A positioning block is fixedly connected to the other end of the limiting block. A vertical frame is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block that is away from the base.
[0008] Preferably, the vertical frame is symmetrically provided with rail grooves and positioning slots that match both the positioning block and the limiting block.
[0009] Preferably, the support clamp has preset holes at equal intervals on its inner side.
[0010] Preferably, two clamps are fixedly installed on the rear side of the vertical frame.
[0011] Preferably, the front side of the box is hinged with a box door, a limiting cavity is formed in the middle of the side of the base, and a movable groove is formed in the middle of the side of the box.
[0012] Preferably, the base is provided with two limit blocks, and a spring is fixedly connected between the two limit blocks. An operating block and a connecting block are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the limit blocks. The connecting block extends into the movable groove and is fixedly connected to a locking block. The inner wall of the movable groove is symmetrically provided with locking grooves that match the locking blocks.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0014] 1. By adjusting the block, active bevel gear, guide groove, support clamp, screw and driven bevel gear and using them in combination, the two support clamps are brought closer together to clamp and fix the boxes of different specifications. Then, the clamp is used to fix it to the utility pole at the designated position. The positioning block and positioning groove limit state are adjusted by sliding the operating block in the movable groove. When the positioning block is pushed into the rail groove, the connecting block and the base as a whole can move up and down to control the lifting of the box. This facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance and can effectively cope with outdoor protection such as floods, improving the practicality of the structure.
[0015] 2. By pressing and bringing the two operating blocks closer together, the two limiting blocks will move closer together and disengage the locking blocks from the slots, thus enabling the cabinet door to open quickly without tools, facilitating meter reading and maintenance of electrical appliances inside the cabinet.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The installation structure of an electricity metering box shown includes a box body 1, a base 2 and a vertical frame 17. The box body 1 is located on the front side of the base 2. A rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected in the middle of the base 2. An adjusting block 4 located at the bottom of the base 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 3. An active bevel gear 5 is fixedly fitted on the rotating rod 3. Manually rotating the adjusting block 4 can drive the active bevel gear 5 and the driven bevel gears 9 meshing on both sides to rotate synchronously, so that the two screws 8 can rotate at the same time, which can drive the support clamp 7 to move.
[0026] Guide grooves 6 are provided on both sides of the base 2. Support clamps 7 are slidably limited in both guide grooves 6. Screws 8 are threadedly connected inside both support clamps 7. Driven bevel teeth 9 are fixedly connected to the end of the screws 8. Driven bevel teeth 9 cooperate with driving bevel teeth 5. The guide grooves 6 limit the rotation of the support clamps 7, so that the support clamps 7 can only move in a straight line along the screws 8. The distance between the two support clamps 7 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the housing 1.
[0027] A connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 2. A limiting cavity 11 is symmetrically opened inside the connecting block 10. A movable groove 12 is opened on the side of the two limiting cavities 11 that are relatively far apart. A limiting block 13 is slidably arranged inside the two limiting cavities 11. A spring 14 is fixedly connected between the limiting block 13 and the inner wall of the limiting cavity 11. The expansion of the spring 14 causes the positioning block 16 to contact the nearest positioning groove 19 when it moves up and down with the connecting block 10, and it will automatically return to its position and lock.
[0028] One end of the limiting block 13 extends to the outside of the movable groove 12 and is fixedly connected to the operating block 15. The other end of the limiting block 13 is fixedly connected to the positioning block 16. The side of the connecting block 10 away from the base 2 is fixedly connected to the vertical frame 17. The operating block 15 moves within the movable groove 12, which can push the positioning block 16 away from the limiting range of the positioning groove 19. When the positioning block 16 is pushed into the rail groove 18, the connecting block 10 as a whole can move up and down along the track of the rail groove 18. The range of the rail groove 18 extends to the front side of the vertical frame 17, which facilitates the movement of the limiting block 13 and improves the flexibility of the lifting and lowering movement.
[0029] The vertical frame 17 is symmetrically provided with rail grooves 18 and positioning grooves 19 that match the positioning block 16 and the limiting block 13. Several positioning grooves 19 are provided so that the connecting block 10 can be locked in different positions after the height is adjusted, thereby increasing the range of height adjustment.
[0030] The support clamp 7 has pre-set holes 701 equidistantly opened on its side. The pre-set holes 701 cooperate with the fastening screws to help strengthen the stability of the connection between the support clamp 7 and the housing 1.
[0031] A clamp 20 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the vertical frame 17. There are two clamps 20. The distance between the structures can be adjusted by using the locking bolts on the clamps 20, so as to adapt to the utility poles of different diameters and to perform the final fixed closed loop function.
[0032] The front side of the box 1 is hinged with a door 21. A limiting cavity 22 is opened in the middle of the side of the base 2. A movable groove 23 is opened in the middle of the side of the box 1. The limiting cavity 22 and the movable groove 23 provide space for the movement of the limiting block 24 and the connecting block 27, respectively.
[0033] The base 2 has two sliding limit blocks 24 inside, and a spring 25 is fixedly connected between the two limit blocks 24. The front and rear sides of the limit blocks 24 are respectively connected to the operating block 26 and the connecting block 27. The connecting block 27 extends into the movable groove 23 and is fixedly connected to the locking block 28. The inner wall of the movable groove 23 is symmetrically provided with locking slots 29 that match the locking blocks 28. The two operating blocks 26 can be moved outside the door 21 to adjust the insertion state of the locking blocks 28 and the locking slots 29. The expansion of the spring 25 keeps the two locking blocks 28 locked with the locking slots 29.
[0034] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:
[0035] First, use the fastening bolts and clamps 20 to fix the vertical frame 17, connecting block 10, and base 2 to the utility pole. Then, place the box 1 on the two support clamps 7. Manually rotate the adjusting block 4 to drive the active bevel gear 5 to rotate. Use the two driven bevel gears 9 to drive the screw 8 to rotate. With the guiding and limiting effect of the guide groove 6, the two support clamps 7 move closer to each other along the screw 8 in a straight line. Use the two support clamps 7 to clamp the box 1. If it is necessary to strengthen the fixing of the box 1, the fastening screw and the preset hole 701 can be used to strengthen the fastening. If it is necessary to adjust the height of the box 1, push the operating block 15 back in the movable groove 12. Push the positioning block 16 connected to the operating block 15 away from the positioning groove 19 until it is pushed into the rail groove 18. This will drive the connecting block 10 and the box 1 to rise and fall. After the height adjustment is completed, release the operating block 15. The spring 14 will rebound and make the positioning block 16 automatically snap into the nearest positioning groove 19 to achieve positioning.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
