Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tools for power equipment installation, specifically a metering box bracket. Background Technology

[0002] A metering box is a specialized enclosure in a power system used to install electricity metering instruments and related electrical components. It is typically mounted on a utility pole at a certain height above the ground to meet safety and accurate metering requirements. The metering box bracket is the mounting component used to reliably secure the metering box to the utility pole.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese utility model patent CN217443424U discloses an installation structure for a pole-mounted metering box, which includes cable ties and a mounting bracket located on the side of the metering box. The mounting bracket has a cable tie channel through which the cable ties pass, and the side of the mounting bracket away from the metering box has an arc-shaped structure. This solution uses cable ties and an arc-shaped mounting bracket to achieve fixation, and has the advantages of simple structure and few parts. However, this type of solution and existing installation methods still have obvious shortcomings: in the actual installation process, one construction worker usually still needs to hold the heavy metering box by hand at a height while another person binds and secures it. This is not only laborious and inefficient, but also, in the case of limited working space on the pole, the box is prone to shaking or slipping due to improper coordination, posing a significant safety risk.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a metering box bracket that can provide stable temporary support, adapt to different rod diameters, and effectively improve installation safety and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a metering box support, which offers advantages such as providing stable temporary support, quick installation, labor-saving and efficient operation. It solves the problems of existing technologies, such as the need for long-term manual lifting, laborious operation, low efficiency, high risk of working at height, and easy shaking and slippage of the metering box in a limited working space.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives of providing stable temporary support, quick installation, and high efficiency, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A metering box support includes a tray for supporting the metering box and a clamping plate. One end of the tray is inclined upward and fixed to the clamping plate. An arc-shaped clamping groove is provided on the side of the clamping plate away from the tray, and mounting parts are fixedly installed at both ends of the clamping plate on this side. Each of the mounting parts is hinged with a spherical bolt, and a wing nut is threaded onto the spherical bolt. A slide rail is also fixed to each mounting part, and an arc-shaped clamping bar is slidably arranged on the slide rail. Each side of the arc-shaped clamping bar has a limiting groove that can cooperate with the spherical bolt on the corresponding side. When the spherical bolt is engaged with the limiting groove, the wing nut abuts against the side of the arc-shaped clamping bar with the limiting groove. An elastic stopper is also fixed to the upper end of the tray away from the clamping plate, for elastically abutting against one side of the metering box. The clamping plate and the arc-shaped clamping strip are used together to clamp onto the utility pole.

[0007] The pallet is tilted upwards on the side away from the clamping plate, forming a 5° angle with the horizontal.

[0008] The upper edge of the tray is also provided with a round steel guard.

[0009] The bottom of the tray and the clamping plate is provided with several reinforcing ribs.

[0010] The tray has several holes, and the clamping plate has two symmetrically distributed holes.

[0011] The elastic blocker is an elastic element or an elastic buffer structure.

[0012] The curved clamp is also equipped with a handle.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a metering box bracket, which has the following beneficial effects: The metering box bracket forms an inclined support structure by fixing the tray and clamp plate. With the help of the elastic stopper, the metering box is stably limited, which effectively reduces the need for manual lifting during high-altitude operations and prevents the metering box from shaking and slipping. At the same time, the use of fish-eye bolts, wing nuts and arc-shaped clamps to quickly lock the power pole significantly improves installation efficiency and safety.

[0014] This metering box bracket, through the sliding cooperation design of the slide rail and the arc-shaped clamp, can flexibly adapt to utility poles of different diameters. Combined with the round steel edge of the tray and the bottom reinforcing rib to enhance the structural strength, it not only ensures the stability of the clamp, but also achieves a labor-saving and efficient installation experience.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 A metering box support includes a tray 2 for supporting a metering box 1 and a clamping plate 3. The tray 2 is tilted upward and fixed to the clamping plate 3. An arc-shaped clamping groove 301 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 3 away from the tray 2, and mounting parts 303 are fixedly installed at both ends of the clamping plate 3 on this side. A fish-eye bolt 5 is hinged to each mounting part 303, and a wing nut 6 is threaded onto the fish-eye bolt 5. A slide rail 7 is also fixed to one mounting part 303, and an arc-shaped clamping strip 4 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 7. Limiting grooves 401 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped clamping strip 4 so as to cooperate with the fish-eye bolt 5 on the corresponding side. When the fish-eye bolt 5 cooperates with the limiting groove 401, the wing nut 6 abuts against the side of the arc-shaped clamping strip 4 where the limiting groove 401 is provided. An elastic stopper 9 is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the tray 2 away from the clamping plate 3 for elastically abutting against the side of the metering box 1. The clamping plate 3 and the arc-shaped clamping strip 4 are used together to clamp onto the utility pole.

[0019] It should be noted that anti-slip pads, specifically anti-slip rubber pads, can be provided on the side surface of the arc-shaped clamping groove 301 and the arc-shaped clamping strip 4 used for clamping, to increase the friction between the bracket and the utility pole and improve the stability of the device.

[0020] In this embodiment, the side of the tray 2 away from the clamping plate 3 is tilted upwards at an angle of 5° to the horizontal.

[0021] It should be noted that the 5° upward tilt of tray 2 is primarily designed to utilize the weight of the metering box 1 to induce it to slide towards the clamping plate 3, thus tending to abut against the utility pole. This tilt angle has been calculated to effectively prevent the box from slipping outwards under slight vibrations, while also preventing excessive tilt angle from affecting the normal observation and operation of the instruments inside the box, achieving a good balance between safety and functionality.

[0022] In this embodiment, a round steel guard 8 is also provided on the upper edge of the tray 2.

[0023] It should be noted that the round steel guard 8 set on the upper edge of the tray 2 does not serve as a complete stop, but rather as a guide and initial blocking structure. The smooth steel edge can prevent bumps or jamming when pushing the metering box 1 in, and its height is designed to guide the box into place accurately without hindering subsequent door opening or wiring operations.

[0024] In this embodiment, the bottom of the tray 2 and the clamping plate 3 are provided with several reinforcing ribs 10.

[0025] It should be noted that the several reinforcing ribs 10 at the bottom of the tray 2 and the clamping plate 3 are designed to balance overall lightweight and high strength. These reinforcing ribs 10, with their reasonable layout, significantly enhance the support's resistance to bending and torsion, ensuring no deformation under long-term loads and thus extending the overall service life of the support.

[0026] In this embodiment, the tray 2 has several holes 201, and the clamping plate 3 has two symmetrically distributed holes 302.

[0027] It should be noted that the main function of the several holes 201 on the tray 2 is to reduce the overall weight; the two holes 302 symmetrically distributed on the clamping plate 3, in addition to reducing weight, are more importantly for inserting screwdrivers, which can be used to temporarily place tools when installing the measuring box 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic blocker 9 is an elastic element or an elastic buffer structure.

[0029] It should be noted that the elastic stopper 9 can be an elastic door closer, etc.; an elastic door closer is a device that uses the deformation and recovery characteristics of elastic elements (such as springs) to realize automatic door closing and has a buffer adjustment function. Its core function is to provide a continuous elastic preload force to flexibly press the metering box 1 from the outside and prevent the box from shifting on the tray 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, a handle 402 is also installed on the arc-shaped clamp 4.

[0031] It should be noted that the handle 402 installed on the curved clamp 4 provides the operator with a direct and effortless point of application. In high-altitude working environments, this design allows the installer to hold and adjust the position of the curved clamp 4 with one hand, thereby enabling the curved clamp 4 to be slid to the target position more safely and accurately for engagement with the fisheye bolt 5. This greatly improves the convenience and safety of installation. At the same time, the handle 402 makes the device easy to carry, which is more advantageous in high-altitude environments.

[0032] In summary, the metering box bracket, through the tray 2 and the clamping plate 3, forms an inclined support structure. With the help of the elastic stopper 9, the metering box 1 is stably limited, which effectively reduces the need for manual lifting during high-altitude operations and prevents the metering box 1 from shaking and slipping. At the same time, the fish-eye bolt 5, wing nut 6 and arc-shaped clamp 4 are used to quickly lock the power pole, which significantly improves the installation efficiency and safety.

[0033] The metering box bracket, through the sliding cooperation design of the slide rail 7 and the arc-shaped clamp 4, can flexibly adapt to utility poles of different diameters. Combined with the round steel edge 8 on the edge of the tray 2 and the bottom reinforcing rib 10 to enhance the structural strength, it not only ensures the stability of the clamp, but also achieves a labor-saving and efficient installation experience.

[0034] Working principle: During installation, first align the arc-shaped clamping groove 301 of the clamping plate 3 with the utility pole. Then, hold the handle 402 and slide the arc-shaped clamping strip 4 along the slide rail 7, so that it surrounds the utility pole together with the clamping plate 3. Next, flip down the fisheye bolts 5 on both sides, allowing them to engage with the limiting grooves 401 on both sides of the arc-shaped clamping strip 4. Then tighten the wing nuts 6. The fisheye bolts 5 and the limiting grooves 401 will tighten the arc-shaped clamping strip 4, ultimately securing the entire bracket firmly to the utility pole. Place the metering box 1 on the inclined tray 2. One side of the metering box 1 is tilted against the utility pole, while the other side is automatically pressed and fixed by the elastic stopper 9, providing auxiliary support during installation. After the metering box 1 is installed, the device can be disassembled, and the disassembly process is the reverse.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
