Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical instrumentation technology, specifically to a scratch-resistant touch button panel for an electricity meter. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of smart grids and IoT technologies, electricity meters, as key metering devices in power systems, are constantly being upgraded in terms of functionality and interaction methods. Traditional mechanical push-button electricity meters have been gradually replaced by touch-button electricity meters due to problems such as button wear, poor contact, and short lifespan.

[0003] Existing scratch-resistant touch panel for electricity meters lacks an automated cleaning mechanism, making the transparent glass surface susceptible to dust, fingerprints, and other contaminants. This reduces button sensitivity and reading clarity, while increasing the frequency and cost of manual cleaning. Furthermore, the lack of effective physical protection for the transparent glass makes it vulnerable to damage from external impacts or scratches from sharp objects, shortening the device's lifespan. Therefore, this invention designs a scratch-resistant touch panel for electricity meters to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

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.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A scratch-resistant touch button panel for an energy meter includes: an energy meter body 1, a transparent glass plate 2 hinged to the front of the energy meter body 1, and a button panel body 3 installed inside the energy meter body 1; a heat dissipation mechanism located at the bottom of the energy meter body 1 and providing heat dissipation for the energy meter body 1; and a cleaning mechanism located on the front of the transparent glass plate 2 and cleaning the surface of the transparent glass plate 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a driving component and a scraping component. The driving component is located on the front of the transparent glass plate 2 and drives the movement of the scraping component. The scraping component is located inside the driving component and cleans the transparent glass plate 2.

[0018] The cleaning mechanism includes a protective frame 4 mounted on the front of the electricity meter body 1. A cleaning motor 5 is mounted on one side of the protective frame 4, and a one-way lead screw 6 is mounted on one side of the output shaft of the cleaning motor 5. A moving block 7 is threaded onto the outer ring of the one-way lead screw 6. A limit assembly is installed inside the protective frame 4. The scraping assembly includes a movable scraper 8 mounted on the top of the moving block 7, and a cleaning sponge 9 is mounted on the back of the movable scraper 8. The limit assembly includes a limit rod 10 installed inside the protective frame 4. The limit rod 10 is inserted inside the moving block 7, and two sets of limit rods 10 are provided and symmetrically distributed.

[0019] In this embodiment of the utility model, in terms of scratch protection, the transparent glass plate 2 is hinged to the front of the energy meter body 1, and can close and cover the button panel body 3 when not in operation, forming the first physical barrier against external impact and scratches from sharp objects; at the same time, the cleaning sponge 9 is soft and makes flexible contact with the surface of the transparent glass plate 2 during the cleaning process, avoiding secondary scratches and achieving the dual effect of "cleaning is protection".

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4The heat dissipation mechanism includes a heat dissipation frame 11 installed at the bottom of the electricity meter body 1. A cooling fan 12 is installed inside the heat dissipation frame 11. Two sets of cooling fans 12 are symmetrically distributed. A connecting component is installed between the electricity meter body 1 and the cooling fans 12. The connecting component includes a groove 13 formed at the bottom of the electricity meter body 1. A telescopic rod 14 is installed inside the groove 13. A compression spring 15 is installed around the outer ring of the telescopic rod 14. Four sets of telescopic rods 14 and compression springs 15 are symmetrically distributed. A compression plate 16 is installed on one side of the telescopic rods 14 and compression springs 15. Locking blocks 17 are installed on both sides of the heat dissipation frame 11. A connecting hole 18 is formed inside the locking block 17. A connecting rod 19 is installed on the side of the compression plate 16 near the locking block 17. The connecting rod 19 slides inside the connecting hole 18.

[0021] The extrusion plates 16 are arranged in four sets and are symmetrically distributed, and the connecting rods 19 are arranged in four sets and are symmetrically distributed.

[0022] In this embodiment of the utility model, in the heat dissipation stage, two sets of cooling fans 12 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the energy meter body 1 to continuously draw external cold air into the heat dissipation frame 11, forming a forced convection from bottom to top, which carries away the heat of the metering module, power module and other heat-generating components; the telescopic rod 14 and the compression spring 15 in the connecting assembly form a floating buckle structure. When the heat dissipation frame 11 is pushed in, the locking block 17 squeezes the connecting rod 19 and compresses the compression spring 15 until the connecting rod 19 slides into the connecting hole 18, and the compression spring 15 rebounds and locks, realizing the quick installation and stable positioning of the heat dissipation frame 11.

[0023] During use, in the cleaning process, if the user finds that dust or stains have accumulated on the surface of the transparent glass plate 2 and affect the reading, the cleaning motor 5 can be triggered remotely or locally. The cleaning motor 5 drives the one-way lead screw 6 to rotate. The moving block 7, which is threaded with the one-way lead screw 6, is guided by two symmetrical limit rods 10 to convert the rotational motion into a stable linear reciprocating motion. The moving scraper 8, which is fixed to the top of the moving block 7, moves synchronously. The cleaning sponge 9, which is in contact with the glass surface on its back, applies pressure evenly during the movement to scrape off and absorb dust, fingerprints and other impurities, thereby maintaining the high light transmittance of the transparent glass plate 2 and ensuring the sensitivity of the touch buttons and the clarity of the reading.

[0024] Secondly, in terms of scratch protection, the transparent glass plate 2 is hinged to the front of the electricity meter body 1, and can close and cover the button panel body 3 when not in operation, forming the first physical barrier against external impacts and scratches from sharp objects; at the same time, the cleaning sponge 9 is soft and makes flexible contact with the surface of the transparent glass plate 2 during the cleaning process, avoiding secondary scratches and achieving the dual effect of "cleaning is protection".

[0025] Finally, in terms of heat dissipation, two sets of cooling fans 12 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the electricity meter body 1, continuously drawing external cool air into the heat dissipation frame 11, forming a forced convection from bottom to top, carrying away the heat from the metering module, power module, and other heat-generating components. The telescopic rod 14 and the compression spring 15 in the connecting assembly form a floating snap-fit ​​structure. When the heat dissipation frame 11 is pushed in, the locking block 17 presses the connecting rod 19 and compresses the compression spring 15 until the connecting rod 19 slides into the connecting hole 18, and the compression spring 15 rebounds and locks, realizing the quick installation and stable positioning of the heat dissipation frame 11, ensuring the airtightness of the heat dissipation channel, and facilitating later maintenance and disassembly. Through the coordinated work of cleaning, protection, and heat dissipation, this panel significantly extends the life of the device while improving the user experience.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
