The invention relates to an internal spring type plug connector and an
electric energy meter. The internal spring type plug connector comprises a plug connector body, which is sequentially composed of a plug unit, a limiting unit and a connecting unit, wherein the plug unit is an elastic expansion unit composed of a plurality of circumferentially arranged
metal pieces with the front portions distributed at intervals and the root portions connected to the limiting unit; the front portion of the elastic expansion unit expands, the front end of the elastic expansion unit is folded inwards, and the inside of the elastic expansion unit is provided with a
metal internal spring pieces for assisting the front portion of the elastic expansion unit to expand. The
electric energy meter comprises the plug connector body, a meter support and an
electric energy meter housing. The internal spring piece is made of
alloy steel with excellent elastic performance, so that the elastic expansion unit can be free restriction of elasticity and can be made of
metal with better conducting performance. Therefore, after the plug connector body is completely plugged into a plug hole of a wiring terminal, the elasticity of the front portion of the elastic expansion unit can be matched with that of the internal spring piece to ensure tight contact between the front portion of the elastic expansion unit and the inner wall of the plug hole of the wiring terminal, requirements on large plugging and
high current can be met, and efficient
power transmission can be achieved.
