Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter technology, specifically to an electricity meter with fast cable management. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electricity metering, the electricity meter is the core device used to measure users' electricity consumption. The standardization of its installation and wiring directly affects the accuracy of metering and the safety of electricity use. Existing electricity meters typically consist of a casing and a wiring cavity for connecting external wires. The wiring cavity is usually covered by a front cover to protect the internal wiring structure. In actual wiring, the external wires need to be electrically connected to the electricity meter through connectors within the wiring cavity. The proper arrangement and securing of the wires are crucial for ensuring wiring stability.

[0003] However, existing electricity meters have significant shortcomings in wire management: most meters lack dedicated wire management mechanisms, leading to tangled and messy wires within the wiring cavity. This not only affects subsequent inspection and maintenance efficiency but also risks damaging the insulation layer due to friction between wires, creating safety hazards. While some meters have simple wire channels, their compatibility with different wire specifications is poor, making it difficult to effectively secure wires of varying sizes. Furthermore, the channels are not easy to install or remove, increasing the complexity of wiring operations. Additionally, the front covers of existing electricity meters are mostly fixed with screws or clips. Screw fixing requires tools, making the process cumbersome, while clip connections are prone to loosening over time, leading to a decrease in the front cover's sealing performance. Dust, moisture, and other impurities can easily enter the wiring cavity, affecting the lifespan of the wiring components and the stability of metering. Therefore, a fast wire management electricity meter is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fast-cable-running electricity meter to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fast-cable-running energy meter, comprising:

[0006] The watch case has a wiring cavity at the lower front end, and a front cover is provided outside the wiring cavity. The top of the front cover is rotatably connected to the watch case by a hinge. The hinge connection allows the front cover to be opened and closed easily, reducing operational obstacles during wiring and maintenance.

[0007] Limiting blocks are set on both sides of the upper end of the watch case. Side blocks are set on both sides of the watch case near the limiting blocks. A plug rod is slidably installed between the side blocks and the limiting blocks. A return spring and a limiting plate are set from top to bottom between the side blocks and the limiting blocks on the outside of the plug rod. The limiting plate is fixedly connected to the plug rod. The elasticity of the return spring, together with the plug rod and the limiting plate, makes the fixing operation of the front cover simple and the fixed state stable, and can achieve reliable locking without the aid of tools.

[0008] The wiring cavity is equipped with a connector and a wire management mechanism arranged from top to bottom. The wire management mechanism includes four equidistant wire shells. The inner cavity of each wire shell is shaped like an inverted bucket. A cross-grooved silicone membrane is installed on the top of each wire shell. The wire shells enable the classification and storage of wires. The cross-grooved silicone membrane adapts to different specifications of wires through deformation and forms a seal, ensuring that the wires are organized and reducing the intrusion of external impurities. Second magnets are provided on both sides of the wire management mechanism and are fixedly connected to the wire shells.

[0009] The second iron block is installed inside the wiring cavity on both sides above the second magnet, and the second iron block is fixedly connected to the case. The magnetic attraction between the second magnet and the second iron block makes the cable management mechanism easy to install and disassemble, and facilitates flexible adjustment or maintenance according to wiring requirements.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the front cover has four equally spaced bottom grooves, and dustproof bristles are installed on both sides of the inside of the bottom grooves. The dustproof bristles are fixedly connected to the bottom grooves and are used to intercept dust.

[0011] Preferably, the front cover has a lever on both outer sides, and the lever is integrally formed with the front cover to facilitate the opening of the front cover.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing strip is provided on the outer edge of the front end of the wiring cavity, and the sealing strip is adhered and fixed to the watch case. The sealing strip is used to improve the sealing between the front cover and the watch case.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the rear end of the watch case has a top groove, and the top groove is integrally formed with the watch case.

[0014] Preferably, a first hanging ear is installed inside the top groove, and the first hanging ear is rotatably connected to the top groove via a hinge, and the top groove is used to store the first hanging ear.

[0015] Preferably, the rear ends of the watch case are provided with side grooves on both sides, and the side grooves are integrally formed with the watch case. A second hanging lug is installed inside the side groove, and the second hanging lug is slidably connected to the side groove. The side groove is used to accommodate the second hanging lug.

[0016] Preferably, a first iron block is embedded in the front end of the watch case near the front cover, and a first magnet is embedded in the front end of the front cover. The first magnet and the first iron block are attracted by magnetic force to fix the front cover in the flip-open state.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a fast-cable-running energy meter with the following features:

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention utilizes a wire management mechanism comprising a wire shell and a cross-grooved silicone membrane inside the wiring cavity. This mechanism enables the orderly sorting and classification of wires. The cross-grooved silicone membrane is adaptable to different wire specifications and forms a seal, preventing tangled wires and reducing insulation wear. It solves the problems of messy wire management, poor compatibility, and insufficient sealing in existing electricity meters. The cooperation of a second magnet and a second iron block allows for convenient assembly and disassembly of the wire management mechanism, improving wiring and maintenance efficiency and eliminating the cumbersome assembly and disassembly of traditional wire management structures.

[0020] The hinged connection between the watch case and the front cover, along with the fixing structure consisting of the side block, the insert rod, the return spring, and the limiting plate, enables the front cover to open and close quickly and be reliably fixed. The elastic force of the return spring ensures the stable limiting of the insert rod on the front cover. This design offers the advantages of convenient operation and secure fixing of the front cover, solving the problems of cumbersome screw fixing and easy loosening of the snap-fit ​​connection in existing front covers, and improving the protection reliability of the wiring cavity.
