Problems solved by technology

[0004] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that most of the existing water meter detection systems have a low degree of automation and cannot realize automatic meter fetching, meter checking, and meter releasing operations, requiring manual cooperation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the labor cost is high, and manual participation also exists. At the same time, in the existing water meter detection system, there is a lack of rotary water removal operation for the water meter that has been inspected. It takes too long to simply use heating equipment to remove water, and it is impossible to realize process-based rapid batch water meter detection.

Embodiment 1

[0053] Such as Figure 1-9 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure provides a fully automatic meter inspection system, including a meter inspection platform 1, a conveying mechanism 3 and a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 2;

[0054] The end of the mechanical arm is fixed with a rotary cylinder 22, and the rotary cylinder 22 is fixed with a gripper 12 through a connector. The gripper 12 includes a first gripper 12-1 and a second gripper 12-2, and the first gripper 12-1 and The second grippers 12-2 move with their respective cylinders and are respectively used to grab the water meter to be inspected from the conveying mechanism and the inspected water meter from the meter inspection platform;

[0055] The rotating cylinder 22 drives the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to rotate through the connecting piece, and the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw exchange positions each time they rotate and discharge the stored water of the checked ...

Embodiment 2

[0069] Embodiment 2 of the present disclosure provides a fully automatic meter inspection method, using the fully automatic meter inspection system described in Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure, including the following steps:

[0070] After the water meter is assembled, it is placed on the conveyor belt. The water meter enters the positioning tool through the bell mouth and the fence. When the proximity sensor senses that the water meter is in place, the conveyor belt stops driving. Adjust the orientation of the water meter, hold the water meter by the manipulator, and place it in the double-meter pressing table;

[0071] After the two water meters are put into the pressing table, if the pressing is qualified, the water meter will be clamped out and placed on the meter inspection conveyor belt; otherwise, it will be placed in an unqualified position and wait for manual maintenance;

[0072] If there is no water meter in the meter position, perform the meter release proce...

Embodiment 3

[0085] Embodiment 3 of the present disclosure provides a fully automatic meter inspection system, including various structures in Embodiment 1, and also includes a booster device, such as Figure 10 As shown, the booster device is connected to the water supply pipeline, specifically, including:

[0086] Water meter to be inspected 26, water supply pipe 27 of testing station, water inlet port 28, drain port 29, high pressure water inlet port 30, water inlet pneumatic valve 31, DN40 brass ball valve 32, first solenoid valve 33, second solenoid valve 34, the first Three solenoid valves 35, fourth solenoid valves 36, DN8 brass ball valves 37, first cylinder body 38, second cylinder body 39, boost port 40, pressure relief port 41, first piston 42, second piston 43, piston Connecting rod 44, pressure maintaining pneumatic valve 45, needle valve 46, pressure sensor 47, three-position four-way hand valve 48, first port 49, second port 50, third port 51, fourth port 52 and second Cyli...

Abstract

The disclosure provides a fully automatic meter inspection system and method, including a meter inspection table, a conveying mechanism and a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm; Including the first jaw and the second jaw, the first jaw and the second jaw both move with their respective cylinders, and are used to grab the water meter to be inspected from the conveying mechanism and the inspected water meter from the meter inspection table; the rotating cylinder The connecting piece drives the first jaw and the second jaw to rotate, and the first jaw and the second jaw exchange positions each time they rotate and discharge the water stored in the water meter that has been checked; The fully automatic operation of releasing the meter and rotating to remove water greatly improves the detection efficiency of the water meter.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosure relates to the technical field of water meter detection, in particular to a fully automatic meter detection system and method. Background technique [0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art. [0003] Water meters are widely used in tap water, heat power, chemical industry and other industries. Enterprises or measurement departments that produce water meters need to perform performance verification on the indication error of these water meters in accordance with the regulations formulated by relevant departments. [0004] The inventors of the present disclosure have found that most of the existing water meter detection systems have a low degree of automation and cannot realize automatic meter fetching, meter checking, and meter releasing operations, requiring manual cooperation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, an...
