[0038] 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.

[0039] Example 1: This utility model provides the following technical solution: Figure 1-3 As shown, a modular energy metering and acquisition device includes a collector housing 1. A metering and acquisition module is installed inside the collector housing 1 to collect energy metering information. A mounting base 2 is provided on the rear side of the collector housing 1. The mounting base 2 is connected to the mounting surface to provide support for the collector housing 1. A connecting block 3 is fixed on the front side of the mounting base 2. The connecting blocks 3 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the collector housing 1. A sliding groove 4 is provided on the side of the collector housing 1. The sliding groove 4 and the connecting block 3 form a front-to-back sliding structure. A positioning mechanism is provided on the inner side of the connecting block 3 to position the connection between the connecting block 3 and the sliding groove 4. A splicing mechanism is provided on the outer side of the collector housing 1. Multiple collector housings 1 are combined with each other through the splicing mechanism.

[0040] In use, the mounting base 2 and the mounting surface can be connected and fixed. Then, the collector housing 1 is installed by connecting the slide groove 4 and the connecting block 3. During installation, the collector housing 1 is inserted from the front of the connecting block 3 and positioned with the positioning mechanism. Multiple collector housings 1 have the same external shape, and different energy collection modules can be matched inside to adapt to different collection needs. The collection principle can refer to the energy collection principle of the prior art known to those skilled in the art or existing published patents.

[0041] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as follows Figure 5 As shown, the slide groove 4 has a through-type structure at both ends and a concave structure. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning groove 5, a positioning block 6, a first spring 7, and a release mechanism. The positioning groove 5 is formed on the surface of the slide groove 4. The positioning block 6 is disposed on the inner side of the connecting block 3 and forms a horizontal sliding structure between the connecting block 3 and the connecting block 3. The inner end of the positioning block 6 has an inclined structure. The first spring 7 is disposed on the outer end of the positioning block 6 to provide thrust to the positioning block 6. The release mechanism is connected to the positioning block 6 to control the movement of the positioning block 6. The connection between the positioning block 6 and the positioning groove 5 is released. The release mechanism includes a through groove 8, a pressing block 9, a control head 10, and a second spring 11. The through groove 8 is opened inside the positioning block 6. The pressing block 9 is located on the front side of the through groove 8, and the surface of the pressing block 9 is designed with an inclined structure. The pressing block 9 and the connecting block 3 form a front-to-back sliding structure. The control head 10 is fixed on the front side of the pressing block 9, and the front end of the control head 10 penetrates the front surface of the connecting block 3. The second spring 11 is located on the outside of the control head 10 to provide forward thrust to the control head 10.

[0042] When installing the collector housing 1, the inclined surface of the positioning block 6 is compressed and shrinks as the slide 4 and connecting block 3 are connected. When the positioning block 6 and the positioning groove 5 are opposite each other, the positioning block 6 is connected to the positioning groove 5 under the action of the first spring 7, locking the connection between the slide 4 and the connecting block 3. When it is necessary to remove the collector housing 1 from the outside of the connecting block 3, the control head 10 can be pressed to push the extrusion block 9 to extrude the through groove 8, causing the positioning block 6 to move and release the connection between the positioning block 6 and the positioning groove 5, so that the collector housing 1 can be pulled forward.

[0043] Example 3: Based on Example 1, as follows Figure 6As shown, the splicing mechanism further discloses a splicing block 12, a splicing groove 13, and a limiting mechanism. The splicing block 12 is fixed to the right side surface of the collector housing 1, and the splicing block 12 has an inverted "T" shaped structure design. The splicing groove 13 is opened on the left side of the collector housing 1, and the splicing groove 13 and the splicing block 12 form a front-to-back sliding structure. The limiting mechanism is set on the outside of the splicing block 12 to limit the connection between the splicing block 12 and the splicing groove 13. The limiting mechanism includes a locking groove 14, a locking rod 15, and a third spring 16. The locking groove 14 is located above the splicing block 12. The locking rod 15 is located above the locking groove 14 and forms a locking structure between the locking groove 14. The locking rod 15 and the collector housing 1 form an up-and-down sliding structure. The upper end of the locking rod 15 penetrates the upper surface of the collector housing 1. The third spring 16 is located on the outside of the locking rod 15 to provide a downward pushing force for the locking rod 15. The front and rear ends of the locking groove 14 are designed with an open structure. The locking groove 14 is symmetrically arranged about the center line of the collector housing 1.

[0044] When it is necessary to splice together the collector housing 1 containing different types of collection modules, the splicing slot 13 on the collector housing 1 can be connected to the splicing block 12 on the surface of the collector housing 1 on the front side of the mounting base 2, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the splicing block 12 is inserted into the splicing slot 13 by means of insertion. The connection between the locking rod 15 and the locking slot 14 locks it. Multiple collector housings 1 can be installed using only one set of mounting bases 2. When it is necessary to disassemble later, the locking rod 15 can be pulled to release the connection between the locking rod 15 and the locking slot 14, and the splicing block 12 can be removed from the splicing slot 13.
