The invention discloses a lock catch type seal for an electric energy meter, which comprises a base and a seal cover arranged on the base, wherein the base is internally provided with a counter bore, a screw for fixedly connecting an electric energy meter body penetrates through the counter bore, the lower part of the seal cover extends into the counter bore of the base, the outer circumferential surface of the lower end of the seal cover is provided with an outwards-extending lug boss, an elastic bulge is circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the counter bore in the base, and the lower end part of the elastic bulge inclines into the base and downwards extends and supports against the lug boss of the seal cover. The lock catch type seal for the electric energy meter has the advantages of no need of penetration of a seal wire, no need of alignment and matching of seal holes, long service life, convenience for installation and firmness in fixation, and completely meets the demand of automatic sealing of an assembly line; and on the premise of not damaging the seal of the electric energy meter, the electric energy meter can not be subjected to electricity stealing, thus having better anti-theft, anti-counterfeiting and anti-electricity stealing properties.
