[0002] As the core device for measuring users' electricity consumption, the electricity meter is widely used in all electricity consumption scenarios, including homes, commercial buildings, and industrial plants. It is a key metering tool for electricity supply and consumption settlement. However, traditional electricity meter installation relies on rigid fixing with bolts and mounting brackets. Installation requires tightening multiple bolts one by one using screwdrivers and other tools. In special installation environments such as narrow walls or high places, tool operation is limited, consuming a significant amount of time. Furthermore, when the electricity meter needs maintenance or replacement, all bolts must be loosened first. If the bolts are rusted or stuck due to long-term use, additional handling is required, making the disassembly process time-consuming and laborious, severely impacting maintenance efficiency, and even easily causing prolonged power outages for users, inconveniencing their production and daily life. Therefore, we have introduced an electricity meter structure that is easy to install. Utility Model Content
