Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electricity meter equipment technology, specifically referring to a protective cover for a smart meter. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of smart grids, smart meters are being used more and more widely. However, the protective covers for smart meters currently on the market generally have poor protective performance, failing to effectively resist external rain, dust, and malicious damage. This makes the internal electronic components of smart meters easily damaged, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the smart meters. At the same time, the existing protective covers are cumbersome to install and remove, making it inconvenient for daily maintenance and repair of smart meters, thus reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a protective cover for smart meters, which effectively solves the problem that the installation and disassembly of the protective cover for smart meters is cumbersome, making it inconvenient for daily maintenance and repair of smart meters and reducing work efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model proposes a protective cover for a smart meter, including a fixed base, a quick-release structure, and a through structure. The quick-release structure is disposed on the fixed base, and the through structure is disposed on the quick-release structure. The quick-release structure includes a threaded seat, a protective shell, a meter body, and a protective edge. The threaded seat is fixedly disposed on the side of the fixed base, the protective shell is threaded onto the threaded seat, the meter body is fixedly disposed on the fixed base and located inside the threaded seat, and the protective edge is fixedly connected to the front end of the protective shell.

[0005] Preferably, the through structure includes a first permanent magnet strip, a first sealing strip, a rotating shaft, a flip cover, a second permanent magnet strip, a second sealing strip, and an observation glass. The first permanent magnet strip is fixedly disposed in a groove on the protective edge. The first sealing strip is fixedly disposed on the protective edge and covers the outside of the first permanent magnet strip. The rotating shaft is fixedly disposed on the edge of the protective edge. The flip cover is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft. The second permanent magnet strip is fixedly disposed in a groove on the flip cover. The second sealing strip is fixedly disposed on the flip cover and wraps around the second permanent magnet strip. The observation glass is fixedly disposed on the flip cover.

[0006] To achieve a better sealing effect, the positive pole of permanent magnet strip one is positioned opposite to the negative pole of permanent magnet strip two.

[0007] To achieve a seal more quickly, a sealing gasket is used to connect and seal the threaded seat to the protective shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealing strip one and the sealing strip two are arranged in an arc shape, and the diameter of the sealing strip one is the same as the diameter of the sealing strip two.

[0009] To facilitate easy disassembly, the observation glass is made of tempered explosion-proof glass.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above structure are as follows: The protective cover for a smart meter proposed in this solution can be disassembled by threaded seat and protective shell, which facilitates maintenance. At the same time, the meter body is easy to observe by fixing the base. It is attracted by permanent magnet strip one and permanent magnet strip two, so that the flip cover is pressed against the protective edge and sealed by sealing strip one and sealing strip two.

The quick-release structure 2 includes a threaded seat 4, a protective shell 5, a meter body 6, and a protective edge 7. The threaded seat 4 is fixedly disposed on the side of the fixed base 1, and the protective shell 5 is threaded onto the threaded seat 4. The connection between the threaded seat 4 and the protective shell 5 is sealed with a sealing gasket. The meter body 6 is fixedly disposed on the fixed base 1 and located inside the threaded seat 4, and the protective edge 7 is fixedly connected to the front end of the protective shell 5.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the through structure 3 includes a permanent magnet strip 8, a sealing strip 10, a rotating shaft 11, a flip cover 12, a permanent magnet strip 13, a sealing strip 14, and an observation glass 15. The permanent magnet strip 8 is fixedly installed in the groove on the protective edge 7. The sealing strip 10 is fixedly installed on the protective edge 7 and covers the outside of the permanent magnet strip 8. The rotating shaft 11 is fixedly installed on the edge of the protective edge 7. The flip cover 12 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft 11. The permanent magnet strip 13 is fixedly installed in the groove on the flip cover 12.

The sealing strip 14 is fixedly installed on the flip cover 12 and covers the permanent magnet strip 13. The sealing strip 10 and the sealing strip 14 are arranged in an arc shape. The diameter of the sealing strip 10 is the same as the diameter of the sealing strip 14. The observation glass 15 is fixedly installed on the flip cover 12 and is made of tempered explosion-proof glass.

[0020] In practical use, first fix the mounting base 1 to the wall, then install and fix the meter body 6 in the threaded seat 4 on the mounting base 1, and then screw the protective shell 5 onto the threaded seat 4 to complete the installation. During maintenance, rotate the flip cover 12 around the rotating shaft 11 to open the protective shell 5. At this time, the second permanent magnet strip 13 will detach from the first permanent magnet strip 8. After the inspection is completed, rotate the flip cover 12 around the rotating shaft 11 and press it against the protective edge 7. At this time, the second permanent magnet strip 13 on the flip cover 12 will be attracted and fixed by the first permanent magnet strip 8 on the protective edge 7. At this time, the second sealing strip 14 and the first sealing strip 10 will be tightly pressed together to achieve waterproofing. The above is the entire process of using the protective cover for the smart meter.
