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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model has the following two specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This utility model relates to a single sliding door type meter box, including a box body 1 and a door lock assembly 2. A box door 11 is slidably connected to the front of the box body 1, and the door lock assembly 2 is installed on the back of the box door 11 for locking the box door 11. The door lock assembly 2 includes:

[0031] Lock block 21 is fixedly connected to the back of the lock cylinder, and a lock groove 211 is provided on the outer surface of the lock block 21.

[0032] Support block 212 is fixedly connected to the back of lock cylinder base. Support block 212 is L-shaped. The top of support block 212 contacts the bottom of lock block 21. Spring 213 is fixedly connected between support block 212 and lock block 21.

[0033] The locking block 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the outer surface of the locking block 22 is in contact with the inner wall of the locking groove 211.

[0034] like Figures 1-3As shown, by setting the door lock assembly 2, specifically by inserting the key and turning the lock cylinder, the lock block 21 rotates simultaneously with the lock cylinder, thereby disengaging the lock groove 211 of the lock block 21 from the locking block 22, thus opening the box door 11. When closing, the lock block 21 touches the locking block 22, and the locking block 22 will press the lock block 21 to rotate against the elastic force of the spring 213 until the lock groove 211 aligns with the locking block 22, thus completing the fixation. The structure is simple and effective, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0035] There are two observation windows 111 on the front of the box door 11.

[0036] A lever 112 is fixedly connected to the front of the door 11, and the right side of the lever 112 contacts the inner wall of the right side of the box 1.

[0037] Two slide rails 12 are fixedly connected to the front of the box body 1, and the inner wall of the slide rails 12 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the box door 11.

[0038] The design of the observation window 111 allows users to directly view the meter reading through the box door 11, improving ease of use; the toggle block 112 provides a force point for the movement of the box door 11 and limits the movement distance of the box door 11 to prevent the box door 11 from leaving the box body 1; the slide rail 12 provides a stable movement trajectory for the box door 11, improving the stability of the box door 11.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment discloses the heat dissipation, rainproofing, and installation structure of the housing 1:

[0041] Several ventilation holes 13 are provided on the left and right sides of the box body 1, and a rain shield 131 is fixedly connected to the side of the box body 1 near the ventilation holes 13.

[0042] A rainproof roof 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 1, and a rainproof groove 121 is fixedly connected to the right side of the box 1 near the slide rail 12.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the ventilation holes 13 promote air circulation inside the enclosure 1, preventing the meter from overheating and causing component failure. The rain shield 131, rainproof roof 14, and rain shield 121 are designed to prevent rainwater from entering the enclosure 1 through the ventilation holes 13; the rainproof roof 14 diverts rainwater to the outside, preventing rainwater accumulation and intrusion from the top of the enclosure 1; and the rain shield 121 prevents rainwater from entering through the gaps in the slide rail 12 and the door 11. These features effectively prevent rainwater from entering the enclosure 1 and improve the reliability of the meter box in outdoor environments.

[0044] Several mounting blocks 15 are fixedly connected inside the housing 1. Limiting blocks 151 are fixedly connected to the left side and bottom of the mounting blocks 15. The limiting block 151 at the bottom has a wire-locking groove 152 on its front.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the two limiting blocks 151 provide support and limit for the meter, facilitating alignment with the threaded holes on the mounting block 15. The wire clamping groove 152 facilitates the fixing and organization of the wires, preventing them from becoming messy.

[0046] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, inserting the key and turning the lock cylinder causes the lock block 21 to rotate simultaneously with the lock cylinder, thereby disengaging the lock groove 211 of the lock block 21 from the locking block 22, thus opening the door 11. When closing, the lock block 21 encounters the locking block 22, which compresses the lock block 21 to overcome the spring force of the spring 213 and rotate until the lock groove 211 aligns with the locking block 22, thus completing the fixing process. Because the L-shaped design of the support block 212 limits the rotation range of the lock block 21, it ensures precise alignment between the lock groove 211 and the locking block 22. While the door 11 slides, the slide rail 12 provides stable motion guidance, preventing the door from shifting or jamming. 12 provides a leverage point for the movement of the door 11 and limits the movement distance of the door 11 to prevent the door 11 from detaching from the box body 1. When installing the meter, the two limit blocks 151 provide support and limit the meter, making it easy to align with the threaded holes on the mounting block 15. The wire clamping groove 152 facilitates the fixing and organization of the wires to avoid mess. The heat dissipation hole 13 promotes air circulation inside the box body 1 to prevent the meter from overheating and causing component failure. The rain shield 131 prevents rainwater from entering the box body 1 through the heat dissipation hole 13. The rainproof top 14 diverts rainwater to the outside to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the top of the box body 1. The rain shield groove 121 prevents rainwater from entering from the gap between the slide rail 12 and the door 11.
