[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metering box technology, specifically a metering box with an alarm function. Background Technology
[0002] A metering box with an alarm function is a high-voltage metering box equipped with devices to prevent illegal use of electrical energy. These boxes are typically equipped with advanced anti-theft technologies and equipment, such as electronic locks, sealing devices, and tamper-proof software, to ensure accurate metering of electrical energy and prevent illegal electricity theft.
[0003] However, while traditional metering boxes can prevent people from entering and stealing electricity through electronic devices such as locks, they are difficult to respond quickly and issue alarms when people attempt to break into the metering box. Once electricity theft occurs, it directly infringes on the economic interests of the power supply company, leading to the loss of corporate assets, damage to power facilities, and disruption of normal electricity use. In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a metering box with an alarm function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] This application provides a metering box with an alarm function, which solves the problem that although traditional metering boxes can prevent people from entering the metering box to steal electricity through electronic devices such as locks, they are difficult to respond quickly and sound an alarm when people make destructive intrusions into the metering box.
[0024] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0025] This utility model discloses a metering box with an alarm function, according to the attached... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a metering box body 1, a first sealing door 2 and a second sealing door 3 on the metering box body 1, a door lock 4 on the second sealing door 3, a latch 201 on the first sealing door 2 that cooperates with the latch of the door lock 4, and a connecting seat 7 in the inner cavity of the metering box body 1, with an inner pin 6 movably inserted into the connecting seat 7.
[0026] A positioning block 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first sealing door 2. A positioning hole 501 is provided on the positioning block 5, and an inner pin 6 is movably inserted into the positioning hole 501. The inner pin 6 is movably inserted into the positioning hole 501 of the positioning block 5 to achieve physical locking of the first sealing door 2.
[0027] A push-button switch 8 is fixedly connected inside the main body 1 of the metering box. The push-button switch 8 is connected to an audible and visual alarm 9 and a communication module 10 via wires.
[0028] The push-button switch 8 is a key component for triggering the alarm system. When the first sealed door 2 of the metering box is impacted or broken, the inner pin 6 will bend. The bending of the inner pin 6 will directly push up the push-button switch 8, causing it to change from its normal state to the triggered state. This change is the starting point of the alarm process.
[0029] When the push-button switch 8 is triggered, it immediately sends a signal to the audible and visual alarm 9. Upon receiving the signal, the audible and visual alarm 9 will immediately emit a loud alarm sound and flash a bright light. This audible and visual signal is intended to quickly attract the attention of people in the vicinity, alerting them that the meter box may be under unauthorized intrusion or damage.
[0030] At the same time, triggering the push switch 8 also activates the communication module 10. The communication module 10 is responsible for sending the alarm information to the remote terminal via wireless communication. In this way, regardless of whether on-site personnel can respond immediately, the remote monitoring center or relevant personnel can receive the alarm information in a timely manner and take prompt countermeasures.
[0031] The audible and visual alarm 9 and the communication module 10 are connected in parallel in the alarm process, that is, they receive the trigger signal from the push switch 8 at the same time and perform the functions of on-site alarm and remote notification respectively.
[0032] Furthermore, a limiting cylinder 701 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 7. An adjusting block 702 is movably engaged inside the limiting cylinder 701. An inner pin 6 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 702. The limiting cylinder 701 provides support and limitation for the adjusting block 702, and the adjusting block 702 provides support and limitation for the inner pin 6, ensuring the stability of the force on the inner pin 6.
[0033] Furthermore, a spring 703 is fixedly connected between the adjusting block 702 and the limiting cylinder 701. When the inner pin 6 is inserted into the positioning hole 501, the spring 703 applies elastic force to the adjusting block 702 and the inner pin 6, so that the inner pin 6 is not easy to loosen when locking the positioning block 5.
[0034] Specifically, the audible and visual alarm 9 and the communication module 10 are fixedly connected to the metering box body 1. The audible and visual alarm 9 and the communication module 10 are supported by the inner wall of the metering box body 1, making them easy to install.
[0035] Furthermore, the second sealing door 3 is provided with a protective cover 401, the door lock 4 is located inside the protective cover 401, and a protective door 402 is rotatably connected to the door lock 4. The protective cover 401 and the protective door 402 provide protection for the door lock 4.
[0036] This metering box with alarm function, through the design of positioning block 5, inner pin 6, connecting seat 7 and push switch 8, locks the position of the first sealing door 2 when the inner pin 6 is inserted into the positioning socket 501. The first sealing door 2 and the second sealing door 3 are locked in position by door lock 4, which has good stability. When the first sealing door 2 and the second sealing door 3 are impacted or broken, the inner pin 6 will bend. When the inner pin 6 bends, it will directly push up the push switch 8, triggering the sound and light alarm 9 to sound an alarm on site, and triggering the communication module 10 to remotely send alarm information to the remote terminal, thereby reminding the site of electricity theft. Therefore, the device has good stability and prevents people from stealing electricity from the metering box.
[0037] When the device closes the first sealing door 2, it first pulls the adjusting block 702 and squeezes the spring 703. The adjusting block 702 drives the inner pin 6 to move, thus closing the first sealing door 2. The first sealing door 2 drives the positioning block 5 to move into the body of the metering box 1 and is located between the two sets of connecting seats 7. When the adjusting block 702 is released, the spring 703 returns to its original position and pushes the adjusting block 702 and the inner pin 6 to move, so that the inner pin 6 is inserted into the positioning hole 501, thereby closing and locking the first sealing door 2.
[0038] The first sealed door 2 and the second sealed door 3 are quickly locked together by the cooperation of the door lock 4 and the latch 201.
[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
