[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and 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.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a low-voltage adaptive high-durability metal energy metering box, comprising an outer shell 1, with multiple mounting rods 2 fixedly connected to opposite sides of the inner wall of the outer shell 1, wherein multiple fixing slots 19 are evenly opened and penetrated on the outer wall of the multiple mounting rods 2, multiple mounting seats 3 are installed on the outer wall of the mounting rods 2, and mounting plates 4 are installed on the outer wall of the mounting seats 3. A power module 5, a voltage compensation module 6, a metering core module 7, and an arc extinguishing protection module 8 are installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 4. The output end of the power module 5 is electrically connected to the input end of the voltage compensation module 6, the voltage compensation module 6 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the metering core module 7, the output end of the voltage compensation module 6 is electrically connected to the input end of the arc extinguishing protection module 8, the output end of the metering core module 7 is electrically connected to the input end of the arc extinguishing protection module 8, and a quick adjustment component is provided on the outer wall of the mounting seat 3. Specifically, the outer casing 1 provides protection and support for the entire assembly. Multiple mounting bases 3 slide onto mounting rods 2 inside the housing, and a quick-adjustment assembly allows for rapid adjustment of the distance between multiple electronic component mounting plates 4. A slide rail 17 allows for quick removal of the mounting plates 4 for the installation, replacement, and maintenance of electronic components, forming a modular installation structure. Simultaneously, a power module 5 connects to an external power source, pre-processing and outputting a stable DC power supply to a voltage compensation module 6. The voltage compensation module 6 monitors the input voltage in real time. When it detects a voltage deviation from the metering chip's rated range, it adjusts the voltage to the standard value through an internal boost circuit. The voltage status signal is transmitted to the arc extinguishing protection module 8, while the metering core module 7 simultaneously collects the current and voltage signals of the main circuit. After processing, the signals form a two-way feedback with the voltage compensation module 6, and send the abnormal current signal to the arc extinguishing protection module 8. After receiving the status signal from the voltage compensation module 6 and the abnormal signal from the metering core module 7, the arc extinguishing protection module 8 triggers the magnetic blowout arc extinguishing action through dual judgment to ensure rapid arc extinguishing. The modular layout improves installation and maintenance efficiency, the dynamic voltage compensation reduces metering accuracy errors, and the magnetic blowout arc extinguishing system shortens the arc extinguishing time, thereby improving the stability of the metering box.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The quick adjustment assembly includes multiple adjustment boxes 9. The outer walls of the adjustment boxes 9 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 3. The inner walls of the adjustment boxes 9 are slidably connected to sliders 10. The outer walls of the adjustment boxes 9 are rotatably connected to locking rods 12. The outer walls of the adjustment boxes 9 are fixedly connected to levers 13 and locking pins 14. The inner walls of the adjustment boxes 9 are fixedly connected to multiple limiting rods 15. The outer walls of the limiting rods 15 are fitted with springs 16. The top of the mounting base 3 is symmetrically equipped with multiple slide rails 17. The outer walls of the mounting base 3 are symmetrically provided with multiple slide grooves 18. The slide rails 17 are installed inside the slide grooves 18. The mounting plate 4 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting base 3 through the slide rails 17. Specifically, multiple mounting rods 2 are fixedly connected to the rear and left and right sides of the outer casing 1 to limit and fix the mounting base 3 in three directions, ensuring that it remains stable and does not tilt when sliding up and down. Two three-stage slide rails 17 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the mounting base 3 via a slide groove 18. A mounting plate 4 is connected to the slide rails 17. Multiple mounting holes are provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate 4 to facilitate the installation of electronic components. Multiple fixing slots 19 are evenly provided on the outer wall of the mounting rods 2 from top to bottom, allowing for multiple adjustments to the height of the mounting base 3. Adjustment boxes 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the mounting base 3. Normally, the adjustment boxes 9 are engaged with the fixing slots 19 by the locking pins 14 inside the adjustment boxes 9. The wall provides fixation and, together with multiple mounting rods 2, supports the mounting base 3. When adjustment is needed, the levers 13 of the left and right adjustment boxes 9 need to be pulled outwards simultaneously, causing the slider 10 to slide outwards and compress the spring 16, thereby changing the position of the locking rod 12 in the annular groove 11, causing the locking pin 14 to disengage from the fixing slot 19. Then, the mounting base 3 can slide up and down. After sliding, pull the lever 13 again to allow the locking pin 14 to re-insert into another fixing slot 19. Then, the mounting plate 4 can be quickly pulled out or pushed through the three-stage slide rail 17 to complete the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of electronic components, thereby improving the efficiency of replacement and installation.
[0029] Reference Figure 7 The power module 5 includes an AC / DC converter, a surge protection circuit, and an EMI filter. The input of the EMI filter is electrically connected to an external power supply, the output of the EMI filter is electrically connected to the input of the surge protection circuit, the output of the surge protection circuit is electrically connected to the input of the AC / DC converter, and the output of the AC / DC converter is electrically connected to the input of the voltage compensation module 6. Specifically, power module 5 is directly connected to 220V AC mains power. After the noise and electromagnetic pulse in the mains power are filtered out by an EMI filter, it is input to the lightning protection circuit for protection and purification. The purified AC power is then sent to the AC / DC converter for conversion, and outputs stable DC power, thereby providing a continuous and reliable power supply for the subsequent modules and components of the entire metering box.
[0030] Reference Figure 8The voltage compensation module 6 includes a high-frequency switching power supply, a voltage threshold sensor, a power MOSFET, an energy storage inductor, an output filter capacitor, a TVS diode, a threshold resistor network, and a comparator. The input terminal of the high-frequency switching power supply is electrically connected to the output terminal of the power module 5. The output terminal of the high-frequency switching power supply is electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage threshold sensor. The output terminal of the voltage threshold sensor is electrically connected to the gate of the power MOSFET. The drain of the power MOSFET is electrically connected to the input terminal of the energy storage inductor. The output terminal of the energy storage inductor is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the output filter capacitor and the cathode of the TVS diode. The negative terminal of the output filter capacitor and the anode of the TVS diode are both grounded. The cathode of the TVS diode serves as the voltage output terminal and is electrically connected to the input terminal of the metering core module 7. The output terminal of the threshold resistor network is electrically connected to the input terminal of the comparator. The output terminal of the comparator is electrically connected to the input terminal of the arc extinguishing protection module 8. Specifically, the high-frequency switching power supply receives the voltage output from power module 5. A voltage threshold sensor monitors this voltage in real time to determine whether it is within the rated voltage range required by the metering chip. When the voltage is lower than the threshold, the voltage threshold sensor triggers the power MOSFET to turn on. At this time, the energy storage inductor begins to store energy. When the power MOSFET turns off, the energy storage inductor releases energy, working with the output filter capacitor to raise the voltage to the rated range, thereby ensuring that the metering chip always operates in a stable voltage environment. The TVS diode is connected in parallel at the output terminal. When a momentary high voltage occurs, it will quickly turn on to clamp the voltage to a safe value, thereby protecting the metering chip from damage. At the same time, the threshold resistor network divides the voltage signal and transmits it to the comparator. The comparator compares it with the preset threshold. When an abnormal voltage is detected, it outputs a signal to the subsequent arc extinguishing protection module 8 to trigger the protection mechanism.
[0031] Reference Figure 9 The metering core module 7 includes a current transformer, a voltage divider network, a metering chip, and an RS485 transceiver. The current transformer is used to collect the main circuit current, and the voltage divider network is used to proportionally attenuate the AC input high voltage into a measurable low voltage signal. The output terminals of the current transformer and the voltage divider network are electrically connected to the input terminal of the metering chip. The output terminal of the metering chip is electrically connected to the input terminal of the RS485 transceiver. The output terminal of the current transformer is electrically connected to the input terminal of the arc extinguishing protection module 8. The output terminal of the RS485 transceiver is communicatively connected to the input terminal of the voltage compensation module 6. The metering chip is bidirectionally electrically connected to the voltage compensation module 6. Specifically, the current transformer is connected in series with the main circuit, proportionally converting the large current in the main circuit into a small current signal. The voltage divider network proportionally attenuates the high voltage of the main circuit into a low voltage signal. Both signals are transmitted to the metering chip simultaneously. The metering chip processes the received current and voltage signals to calculate the relevant electrical energy parameters. The processed metering data is converted into a standard communication signal via an RS485 transceiver, enabling interaction with external devices. At the same time, the current signal output by the current transformer is also transmitted to the arc extinguishing protection module 8, providing current basis for arc detection. The metering chip maintains bidirectional communication with the voltage compensation module 6, receiving the compensated stable voltage to ensure its own working accuracy, while also feeding back the error caused by voltage changes during the metering process to the voltage compensation module 6 so that it can further optimize voltage regulation, thereby improving metering accuracy.
[0032] Reference Figure 10 The arc extinguishing protection module 8 includes an ultraviolet light sensor, a di / dt detection circuit, a voltage comparator, a logic AND gate, a pulse drive chip, an electromagnetic coil, a permanent magnet, and an arc extinguishing grid. The input terminal of the di / dt detection circuit is electrically connected to the output terminal of the metering core module 7. The output terminals of the di / dt detection circuit and the ultraviolet light sensor are both electrically connected to the input terminal of the voltage comparator. The input terminal of the logic AND gate is electrically connected to the output terminals of the voltage compensation module 6 and the voltage comparator, respectively, for three conditions to jointly determine whether an electric arc is generated. The output terminal of the logic AND gate is electrically connected to the input terminal of the pulse drive chip. The output terminal of the pulse drive chip is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electromagnetic coil. The iron core of the electromagnetic coil is coaxially fixed with the permanent magnet to drive the electric arc into the arc extinguishing grid. Specifically, when an electric arc occurs in the main circuit, the ultraviolet light sensor detects the ultraviolet radiation generated by the arc and outputs a corresponding signal. At the same time, the di / dt detection circuit also detects the sudden change in current and outputs a corresponding signal. These two signals are input to the voltage comparator, compared with a preset threshold, converted into logic signals, and passed to the subsequent AND gate. After receiving the signal, the AND gate combines it with the voltage abnormality signal from the voltage compensation module 6. Only when all signals indicate the presence of an electric arc risk will the AND gate output a trigger signal to the pulse drive chip. At this time, the pulse drive chip drives the electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet, generating a directional force that pushes the arc towards the arc extinguishing grid. After entering the arc extinguishing grid, the arc is divided into multiple short arcs, thus extinguishing it quickly.
[0033] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a protective layer 20 and a buffer layer 21. The buffer layer 21 is disposed inside the protective layer 20, and the inner wall of the buffer layer 21 is filled with an elastomer 22. Specifically, the outer shell 1 adopts a gradient composite metal structure, with the protective layer 20 as the outer layer and a zinc-nickel alloy plating, and the buffer layer 21 as the inner layer. The whole structure is a honeycomb aluminum alloy skeleton, and the gaps are filled with elastomer 22. The elastomer 22 is made of polyurethane, which provides buffering to absorb impact energy when an impact occurs, improves the overall compressive strength of the box, and enhances its corrosion resistance life.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inner wall of the mounting base 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the mounting rod 2. The outer wall of the adjustment box 9 has a through-hole. The outer wall of the lever 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment box 9. The outer wall of the locking pin 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing slot 19. The inner wall of the slider 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 15. One end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjustment box 9. The other end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 10. The outer wall of the slider 10 has an annular groove 11. The outer wall of the locking rod 12 is engaged with the inner wall of the annular groove 11. Specifically, the sides of the mounting base 3 are slidably connected to and fitted against the inner wall of the outer casing 1 to ensure its stability during sliding. The locking pin 14 engages with the inner wall of the fixing slot 19, providing upward support for the mounting base 3, and together with the outer casing 1 and multiple mounting rods 2, ensuring the stability of the mounting base 3. The locking rod 12 is slidably connected to and engaged with the inner wall of the annular groove 11. When the locking pin 14 is engaged in the fixing slot 19, the locking rod 12 is located at the tip of the heart-shaped sliding groove of the annular groove 11. When it is necessary to release the engagement between the locking pin 14 and the fixing slot 19, the lever 13 is pulled to drive the slider 10 and the locking pin 14 to slide downward along the limit rod 15, compressing the spring 16, so that the locking rod 12 slides along the annular groove 11. The slider 12 slides along the inner wall of the annular groove 11 until it reaches the top of the heart shape and engages. At this point, the distance between the locking pin 14 and the fixed slot 19 increases, and it disengages from the fixed slot 19. The mounting base 3 can then be slid freely to change its height. After the change is completed, the lever 13 is turned again, causing the locking rod 12 to slide along the inner wall of the annular groove 11 again, from the top of the heart shape back to the tip of the heart shape. This causes the locking pin 14 to re-enter the fixed slot 19, providing upward support and height locking for the mounting base 3. The limiting rod 15 ensures the stability of the slider 10's sliding, and the spring 16 ensures the repeatability of the operation through stress and can provide a certain locking force to the slider 10 to prevent it from sliding without reason.
[0035] Working Principle: During the operation of this metering box, when an external power source is connected, the power supply module 5 receives and processes the external power before supplying power to the subsequent voltage compensation module 6. The high-frequency switching power supply in the voltage compensation module 6 monitors the input voltage in real time and uses a voltage threshold sensor to determine whether the voltage is within the rated range of the metering chip. If it is below the threshold, it triggers the boost circuit composed of a power MOSFET and an energy storage inductor to adjust the voltage to the rated operating range of the metering chip. The TVS diode then continues to transfer power to the subsequent metering core module 7. Simultaneously, the threshold resistor network in the voltage compensation module 6 divides the voltage signal and transmits it to the subsequent arc extinguishing circuit through a comparator. The protection module 8 and the metering core module 7 continuously monitor the current and voltage of the circuit through a current transformer and a voltage divider network, and transmit the data signal to the metering chip for calculation. After processing, the metering chip transmits the data through an RS485 transceiver and transmits the current signal to the arc extinguishing protection module 8. When an arc is generated, the arc extinguishing protection module 8 detects the arc's ultraviolet radiation through an ultraviolet light sensor and monitors the current change through a di / dt detection circuit, thereby triggering the pulse drive chip to control the electromagnetic coil and permanent magnet to form a directional magnetic field, driving the arc into the ceramic arc extinguishing grid to extinguish it quickly, thereby improving the metering accuracy and reliability of the metering box in complex outdoor environments. If it is necessary to adjust the distance between the various mounting seats 3 and mounting plates 4 inside the outer casing 1 to facilitate the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of internal components, pull the two levers 13 installed on both sides of the bottom of the mounting seat 3 outwards by hand. This will cause the slider 10 to slide outwards synchronously, compressing the spring 16. At the same time, the lever 12, which was originally engaged at the bottom of the annular groove 11, will slide along the inner wall of the annular groove 11 until it engages at the top of the annular groove 11. At this point, the slider 10 will be temporarily fixed due to the engagement between the annular groove 11 and the lever 12, causing the locking pin 14 to slide outwards. This will cause the locking pin 14 to disengage from the fixing slot 19, allowing the mounting seat 3 to be moved freely along the direction of the mounting rod 2. When the mounting base 3 is moved to the appropriate height, pull the levers 13 on both sides outwards by hand again. This causes the slider 10 to slide and compress the spring 16 again. This causes the lever 12, which was originally engaged at the uppermost end of the annular groove 11, to slide along the inner wall of the annular groove 11 until it engages at the bottommost end of the annular groove 11. This causes the locking pin 14 to slide inwards, allowing it to re-enter the nearby fixed slot 19 and engage. This, in conjunction with the multiple mounting rods 2, provides stable support for the mounting base 3, thereby enabling free adjustment of the height of the mounting base 3. Afterwards, the mounting plate 4 can be quickly pulled out via the slide rail 17 to install, disassemble, or replace the electronic components on it, improving installation and maintenance efficiency.
