The depth of the upper mounting groove is greater than the depth of the lower mounting groove. The upper and lower ends of the back of the meter are respectively provided with an upper mounting plate 41 and a lower mounting plate 42; the length of the upper mounting plate is greater than the length of the lower mounting plate. During the installation of the electricity meter, the upper mounting plate 41 is first inserted into the upper mounting groove 21, causing the electricity meter 4 to move upward. When the upper mounting plate 41 is inserted to its deepest point in the upper mounting groove 21, the lower mounting plate 42 is aligned with the opening of the lower mounting groove 31 and inserted into the lower mounting groove 31. When the lower mounting plate 42 is inserted to the bottom of the lower mounting groove 31, the upper mounting plate 41 has not detached from the upper mounting groove 21.

[0022] In this application, the cooperation between the upper mounting plate 41 and the upper mounting slot 21, and the cooperation between the lower mounting plate 42 and the lower mounting slot 31, enables the meter 4 to be quickly installed between the upper mounting bracket 2 and the lower mounting bracket 3. This improves the installation efficiency of the meter and eliminates the hassle of tightening screws during installation. Furthermore, during installation, the meter 4 can slide freely within the upper mounting slot 21 and the lower mounting slot 31, allowing for free movement along the length of the mounting bracket, facilitating adjustment of the meter's position and further enhancing the convenience of meter installation.

[0023] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper mounting bracket includes an upper horizontal plate 22 and an upper vertical plate 23, and the upper horizontal plate 22 is fixedly connected to the meter box body 1; The upper horizontal plate 22, the upper vertical plate 23, and the meter box body 1 cooperate to form an upper mounting groove 21.

[0024] In a further embodiment, the lower mounting bracket includes a lower horizontal plate 32 and a lower vertical plate 33, wherein the lower horizontal plate 32 is fixedly connected to the meter box body 1; The lower horizontal plate 32, the lower vertical plate 33, and the meter box body 1 cooperate to form a lower mounting groove 31.

[0025] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a lower mounting hole 34 is provided through the lower mounting bracket 3; specifically, the lower mounting hole 34 is fixedly provided on the lower vertical plate 33; A mounting sleeve 5 is provided at a position corresponding to the lower mounting hole 34. A sliding rod 51 and a spring 52 are provided inside the mounting sleeve 5. The spring 52 pushes the sliding rod 51 to move towards the lower mounting groove 31. The lower mounting plate 42 is provided with a through mounting hole 421; When the lower mounting plate 42 is installed in the lower mounting groove 31, the mounting through hole 421 corresponds to the lower mounting hole 34; the spring 52 pushes the slide rod 51 to insert into the mounting through hole 421.

[0026] In this application, a first abutment ring 53 is provided at the end of the mounting sleeve 5 away from the lower mounting groove 31, and a second abutment ring 511 is fixedly provided on the periphery of the slide rod 51. A spring 52 is sleeved on the periphery of the slide rod 51, and the two ends of the spring 52 abut against the first abutment ring 53 and the second abutment ring 511 respectively, so that the spring 52 can push the slide rod 51 to move towards the lower mounting groove 31.

[0027] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, an operating head 54 is provided at the end of the slide bar 51 away from the lower mounting groove 31.

[0028] The operating head 54 allows for easy pulling of the sliding rod 51, enabling the sliding rod 51 to move away from the lower mounting slot 31 during meter installation. This allows the lower mounting plate 42 to fully engage with the lower mounting slot 31. Releasing the hand then allows the sliding rod 51 to insert into the mounting hole 421 under the push of the spring 52, thus securing the lower mounting plate 42 and ultimately the meter 4.

[0029] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper mounting plate 41 has a first chamfer structure 411 on both sides.

[0030] The first chamfer structure 411 is provided so that the end of the upper mounting plate 41 forms a gradually narrowing opening, which makes it convenient to insert the upper mounting plate 41 into the upper mounting groove 21.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the lower mounting plate 42 is provided with a second chamfer structure 422 on both sides.

[0032] The second chamfer structure 422 is provided so that the end of the upper mounting plate 41 forms a gradually narrowing opening, which makes it convenient to insert the upper mounting plate 41 into the upper mounting groove 21.

[0033] In another embodiment, the center of the slide rod 51 is provided with a slide rod hole 512 through it along its axial direction, and the meter box body 1 is provided with a threaded hole 11 corresponding to the mounting through hole 421.

[0034] By setting the sliding rod hole 512, when fixing the meter 4, the bolt can be inserted into the sliding rod hole 512 so that the bolt can cooperate with the threaded hole 11, thereby fixing the meter 4.

[0035] In this application, taking advantage of the structural features that the length of the upper mounting plate 41 is greater than that of the lower mounting plate 42 and the depth of the upper mounting groove 21 is greater than that of the lower mounting groove 31, the long upper mounting plate 41 on the back of the meter 4 is first inserted into the deepest part of the upper mounting groove 21 during installation, so that the lower end of the meter 4 can be located above the lower mounting groove 31.

[0036] Next, straighten the meter 4 so that its lower mounting plate 42 is aligned with the opening of the shallow lower mounting groove 31. Then slide the entire meter 4 downward so that the lower mounting plate 42 is pushed into the bottom of the lower mounting groove 31. At this time, the upper mounting plate 41 is still in the upper mounting groove 21, and the meter 4 is stably constrained between the upper mounting bracket 2 and the lower mounting bracket 3.

[0037] The meter 4 can slide freely along the length of the mounting bracket by means of the upper mounting plate 41 on its back cooperating with the upper mounting groove 21 and the lower mounting plate 42 cooperating with the lower mounting groove 31, which facilitates the adjustment of its position within the meter box body 1.

[0038] The lower mounting bracket 3 is equipped with a sliding rod 51 pushed by a spring 52. When the meter 4 slides down to the correct position, the sliding rod 51 automatically springs into the mounting hole 421 on the lower mounting plate 42 under the action of the spring 52, preventing the meter 4 from accidentally falling out.

[0039] Alternatively, automatic locking can be abandoned, and a more secure mechanical fixation can be achieved by tightening the bolt through the center of the slide bar 51 into the threaded hole 11 of the meter box body 1.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: (1) Efficient and convenient installation: The meter 4 can be installed quickly without tools or screws (basic form), which significantly improves installation efficiency and reduces operation steps and time consumption.

[0041] (2) Simple and intuitive operation: The "one push and one card" installation process is intuitive and easy to understand, reducing the difficulty of operation and technical requirements for installers.

[0042] (3) Flexible and adjustable position: After installation, the meter 4 can slide freely within a certain range, which facilitates the fine adjustment of its position and layout within the meter box body 1, enhancing the flexibility of installation.

[0043] (4) Anti-drop safety: The meter 4 is secured by the slide rod 51 driven by the spring 52 or by optional bolts, which ensures the stability of the meter after installation and prevents the meter 4 from loosening due to vibration or accidental contact, thus improving safety and reliability.

[0044] (5) Optimized structure for easy alignment: The first chamfer structure 411 and the second chamfer structure 422 set on both sides of the upper mounting plate 41 and the lower mounting plate 42 play a guiding role, making it easier and more accurate to insert the upper mounting plate 41 and the lower mounting plate 42 into the upper mounting groove 21 and the lower mounting groove 31, thus improving the smoothness of installation.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
