CONSUMPTION METER FOR EASY DISMANTLING AND RECYCLING

Abstract: a measurement device, such as a consumption meter, which is designed for dismantling with the purpose of recycling. the measurement device has a housing with a first side (fs) and a second side (ld) forming an enclosure in which a stack of elements (e, e) are arranged. the stack of elements (e, e) comprises a first element (e) adjacent to the first side (fs) of the housing, an upper second (e) arranged adjacent to the second side (ld), where at least one of the elements (e, e) comprises a circuit board with electronic components configured for measuring a physical quantity, and one or more additional components. the housing has at least one penetration zone (pz, pz, pz) on its first side (fs), so as to allow easy penetration of an associated push member (pm, pm, pm) and to allow said associated push member (pm, pm, pm) to apply a force on the first element (e) of the stack of elements (e, e) which, via the second element (e), is arranged to apply a force on the second side (ld) of the housing to cause the second side (ld) of the housing to separate from the first side (fs) of the housing and to further allow the stack of elements (e, e) to separate from the housing. the penetration zone(s) (pz, pz, pz) is positioned so in relation to a position of a battery inside the housing, so that the associated push member(s) do not contact and/or damage the battery during the dismantling process.
