A slider corresponding to the slide rail 12 is arranged on the side of the connecting seat to improve the lifting stability of the sliding seat 14. A limit plate 16 extending to the bottom of the connecting seat 13 is arranged on the back of the sliding seat 14, and a spring 15 and a pressure sensor are arranged between the connecting seat 13 and the limit plate 16, and the limit plate 16 and the sliding seat 14 are elastically limited by the spring 15.

[0024] A workpiece clamping cylinder 143 is disposed transversely at the bottom of the sliding seat 14. In this embodiment, a workpiece clamping claw 1431 is disposed at the output end of the workpiece clamping cylinder 143 to grab the smart meter 3 and realize self-positioning of the smart meter 3 under the sliding seat 14. The pressure head 145 is disposed at the bottom of the sliding seat 14 or the workpiece clamping cylinder 143 and points downward. Under the action of the driving mechanism 2, the pressure head 145 presses and fixes the smart meter 3 as the sliding seat 14 descends. The pressure head 145 applies pressure after contacting the upper part of the smart meter 3 and compresses the spring 15. The pressure is monitored by a pressure sensor to avoid the problem of excessive pressure. The pressure sensor is connected to the control system of the driving mechanism 2 to realize the control of the driving mechanism 2.

[0025] The cable correction track 144 is arranged at the bottom of the sliding seat 14, and the cable correction track 144 is pressed on the cable of the smart meter 3 when the sliding seat 14 descends. The front of the cable correction track 144 is concavely provided with a cable correction groove 1442 extending upward from the bottom. When the cable is lifted up by the cable paddle 11, it enters the cable correction groove 1442. In this embodiment, a slope 1443 pointing obliquely upward is arranged on the inner wall of one side of the cable correction groove 1442 to gradually narrow the top opening of the cable correction groove 1442, and the slope 1443 is used to guide the cable during the lifting process.

Before the wiring needle 4 is clamped, the rotary drive device 1412 and the needle clamp 1413 are first driven backward by the second reciprocating drive device 1411, and the wiring needle 4 is pushed by the needle clamp 1413. Under the action of the wiring paddle 11, the wiring needle 4 is ensured to point vertically downward, and then clamped by the needle clamp 1415, and then the needle clamp 1415 and the wiring needle 4 are driven to flip by the rotary drive device 1412, such as flipping 90°, and finally, the first reciprocating drive device 141 is moved downward and plugged into the circuit board of the smart meter 3. The rotary drive device 1412 can use a blade-type pneumatic rotary cylinder with precise rotation angle and sensitive action.

[0030] In this embodiment, a third reciprocating drive device 17 (horizontal in the figure) is horizontally arranged on the sliding seat 14 and is perpendicular to the movement direction of the second reciprocating drive device 1411 (vertical in the figure).
