Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8 This utility model provides an intelligent gateway metering and monitoring unit, including a metering and monitoring unit body 1, a display screen 2 on the outer wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1, a functional module 3 slidably connected to the inner wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1, an expansion module 4 slidably connected to the inner wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1, a battery compartment 5 inside the metering and monitoring unit body 1, a compartment cover 6 on the outer wall of the battery compartment 5, a cover plate 17 on the outer wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1, and a limiting component on the inner wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1; the display screen 2 is used to display metering and monitoring data, the functional module 3 and the expansion module 4 slidably connected to the inner wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1 can each undertake different functional tasks, enabling independent operation and collaborative work of multiple modules, improving the functionality and expandability of the unit, the internal battery compartment 5 and the outer compartment cover 6 provide backup power for the equipment, facilitating battery replacement and maintenance, the cover plate 17 can protect the internal structure, and the limiting component can stably limit the functional module 3 and the expansion module 4, ensuring that the functional module 3 and the expansion module 4 are securely installed inside the metering and monitoring unit body 1.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 - Figure 8As shown, the limiting component includes a fixed block 7, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1. A sliding column 8 is slidably connected inside the fixed block 7. Support blocks 1 9 and 2 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding column 8, respectively. The outer walls of both support blocks 1 9 and 2 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1. A cylinder 11 is slidably connected inside the fixed block 7. One end of cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of support block 1 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of support block 2 10. A spring 12 and a spring 2 13 are slidably connected to the outer wall of cylinder 11. A movable plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 7. The outer wall of the movable plate 14 has inclined surfaces 15 and 16. The outer wall of the functional module 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of inclined surface 16. An expansion module 4... The outer wall of the sliding plate 14 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the inclined surface 15; one end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support block 9, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 7; one end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support block 10, and the other end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 7; the fixed block 7 slides on the sliding column 8 and the cylinder 11, and combined with the elastic force of the spring 12 and the spring 13, it can drive the moving plate 14 to move flexibly. The inclined surface 15 and the inclined surface 16 on the outer wall of the moving plate 14 contact the expansion module 4 and the functional module 3 respectively, forming a stable compression limit on the two modules. This ensures that the modules are firmly installed in the main body 1 of the metering and monitoring unit, and also enables the expansion module 4 and the functional module 3 to be independently picked up and put down through the elastic adjustment of the spring 12 and the spring 13 and the sliding cooperation of the inclined surfaces, avoiding mutual interference.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1 is provided with a cover plate 18, the bottom of the metering and monitoring unit body 1 is provided with a high-voltage interface 19, and the outer wall of the metering and monitoring unit body 1 is provided with a low-voltage interface 20; the main high-voltage interface 19 is used to connect to high-voltage power to provide power support for the overall operation of the equipment, and the connection of the low-voltage interface 20 on the outer wall with low-voltage equipment meets the signal transmission requirements of different types of circuits.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of cover plate 17 abuts against the outer wall of movable plate 14; the outer wall of cover plate 17 abuts against the outer wall of movable plate 14. The planar section of movable plate 14 can ensure that functional module 3 and expansion module 4 are installed more tightly inside the metering and monitoring unit body 1, avoiding the impact of loosening on the normal operation of the equipment, and improving the stability of the installation of functional module 3 and expansion module 4.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the battery compartment 5 is electrically connected to the display screen 2 via wires to provide power to the display screen 2 after a power outage. The battery compartment 5 and the display screen 2 are electrically connected via wires to provide power to the display screen 2 when the device encounters a power outage, ensuring that the display screen 2 can continue to operate for a period of time after a power outage and retain key data, avoiding data loss due to sudden power outages, and ensuring the continuity and integrity of data recording.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the main body 1 of the metering and monitoring unit is provided with a sliding groove 21. The inner wall of the sliding groove 21 is slidably connected to a mounting lug 24, and the outer wall of the mounting lug 24 is provided with a slot 25. A limiting block 1 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 21, and a limiting block 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 21. The outer wall of the limiting block 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 25, and the outer wall of the limiting block 1 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 25. The mounting lug 24 slides along the sliding groove 21. The limiting blocks 1 22 and 23 in the sliding groove 21 are slidably connected to the slot 25 on the outer wall of the mounting lug 24, which can limit the sliding range of the mounting lug 24, making it convenient to adjust the position of the mounting lug 24 to adapt to different installation scenarios. At the same time, it can also prevent the mounting lug 24 from falling out of the sliding groove 21, ensuring the stability and flexibility of the installation.

[0028] Working principle: When functional module 3 is removed, its outer wall slides onto the outer wall of inclined plane 16. During this sliding motion, the inclined plane 16 causes the moving plate 14 to move under pressure, which in turn moves the fixed block 7 towards the support block 9 and slides against the outer walls of the sliding column 8 and cylinder 11. As the moving plate 14 moves, its planar section slides against the outer wall of the expansion module 4, limiting its movement and preventing it from being pulled out along with functional module 3. When the expansion module 4 is removed... The outer wall will slide on the outer wall of the inclined plane 15. During the sliding process on the outer surface of the inclined plane 15, the moving plate 14 will be forced to move towards the support block 10, which will in turn cause the fixed block 7 to move and slide on the outer wall of the sliding column 8 and the cylinder 11, and at the same time cause the spring 13 to be forced to contract, thus limiting the functional module 3 and preventing it from being pulled out by the expansion module 4. This realizes the independent picking and putting in of the functional module 3 and the expansion module 4, avoiding the situation where the other becomes loose when one is picked up, ensuring the independence of operation and the stability of the equipment structure, and improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0029] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
