Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electricity meter calibration technology, and specifically relates to a single-phase electricity meter calibration device for an electricity meter calibration production line. Background Technology
[0002] Single-phase energy meters are used for active power measurement. They are accurate, modular, and compact, allowing for easy installation in various terminal distribution boxes. Single-phase energy meters are mandatory verification instruments; they must pass verification before installation. For large-scale verification of single-phase energy meters, a production line is typically used. As the meters are transferred along the line (transfer mechanism), they sequentially enter the single-phase energy meter verification device, where the metering data is collected.
[0003] In existing technologies, single-phase energy meter calibration devices typically employ multiple probes. Each probe contacts the current, voltage, and auxiliary communication terminals of the single-phase energy meter under calibration to collect metering data. However, in general single-phase energy meter calibration devices, each probe is driven by a slide, which is usually driven by a telescopic structure (typically a cylinder). This structure cannot guarantee the accuracy of probe stroke control; each probe makes rigid contact with the current, voltage, and auxiliary communication terminals, frequently causing bending and, in severe cases, damage, resulting in poor practicality. Furthermore, due to the telescopic structure, the slide's travel distance is large, leading to poor stroke control. For energy meter calibration production lines, the slide's movement takes a relatively long time, reducing calibration efficiency and further compromising practicality. In addition, the single-phase energy meter calibration device has a poor fixing effect on the single-phase energy meters to be calibrated. The poor positional accuracy of the single-phase energy meters often leads to the failure of the calibration work, which requires manual calibration, which is time-consuming and laborious, and has poor practicality.

[0029] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The present invention will now describe the single-phase energy meter calibration device for an energy meter calibration production line. The single-phase energy meter calibration device for an energy meter calibration production line includes a base 10, a mounting platform 20, a receiving and fixing component 30, a slide block 40, and a drive component 50. The mounting platform 20 is fixed on the base 10 and has a sliding cavity 21, with the length direction of the sliding cavity 21 defined as a first direction. The receiving and fixing component 30 is fixed on the base 10 and located on one side of the mounting platform 20 along the first direction. The receiving and fixing component 30 is connected to the transmission mechanism of the energy meter calibration production line and can receive the energy meter to be calibrated and fix the single-phase energy meter. The slide block 40 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 21, and multiple probe structures 60 are mounted on the slide block 40. The drive assembly 50 is mounted on the mounting platform 20 and abuts against the slide 40, which can drive the slide 40 to reciprocate in the slide cavity 21 and control and adjust the travel of the slide 40.
[0031] The single-phase energy meter calibration device for the energy meter calibration production line provided in this embodiment, compared with the prior art, allows the probe structures 60 on the slide 40 to contact the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the single-phase energy meter to be calibrated, thereby ensuring the collection of metering data from the single-phase energy meter. The drive component 50 drives the slide 40 to slide, ensuring control over the sliding stroke of the slide 40. This effectively prevents rigid contact between the probe structures 60 and the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the single-phase energy meter to be calibrated, effectively protecting the probe structures 60. At the same time, the drive component 50 can adjust the stroke of the slide 40, giving it a smaller stroke and higher movement accuracy, effectively saving the time required for the sliding process of the slide 40, and thus improving the efficiency of the calibration work to a certain extent. Furthermore, the receiving and fixing component 30 effectively fixes the position of the single-phase energy meter to be tested, thereby ensuring the precise correspondence between each probe structure 60 and the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the single-phase energy meter to be tested, thus guaranteeing the testing effect. The single-phase energy meter testing device for the energy meter testing line provided in this embodiment can control and adjust the stroke of the probe structure 60, effectively protecting the probe structure 60, shortening the movement time of the probe structure 60, improving the testing efficiency, and ensuring the accuracy of the contact between the probe structure 60 and the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the single-phase energy meter to be tested, making it highly practical.
[0032] In some embodiments, the driving component 50 described above may employ, for example... Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4The drive assembly 50 includes a sliding frame 51, an adjusting screw 52, a cam structure 53, a spring-loaded structure 54, and a driver 55. The sliding frame 51 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 21 along a first direction and has an installation space. The adjusting screw 52 is disposed along the first direction, one end of which is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 51. The adjusting screw 52 is threadedly connected to the mounting platform 20, enabling adjustment of the position of the sliding frame 51 within the sliding cavity 21. The cam structure 53 is disposed in the installation space and rotatably connected to the sliding frame 51. The cam structure 53 contacts the slide block 40 and controls the sliding stroke of the slide block 40. The spring-loaded structure 54 is disposed in the mounting platform 20 and contacts the slide block 40, continuously springing the slide block 40 along the first direction to maintain continuous contact between the slide block 40 and the cam structure 53. The driver 55 is fixed to the sliding frame 51, and its power output end is poweredly connected to the cam structure 53 to drive the cam structure 53 to rotate.
[0033] The adjusting screw 52 drives the sliding frame 51 to move, which can adjust the initial position of the slide 40, thus achieving coarse adjustment of the slide 40 position. This process is done manually to ensure that the initial distance between the probe structure 60 and the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the unidirectional energy meter to be tested is controllable. Because different types of unidirectional energy meters have different extension lengths of their current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals, this structure can adapt to different types of unidirectional energy meters. The cam structure 53 makes rolling contact with the slide 40, and the cam structure 53 can drive the slide 40 to move a small distance in the first direction, thus finely adjusting the position of the slide 40. This allows the probe structure 60 to move a small stroke to contact the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the unidirectional energy meter to be tested, effectively preventing excessive force on the probe structure 60 and thus protecting the probe structure 60. The spring-loaded structure 54 can spring the slide block 40 towards the adjusting screw 52 along the first direction to ensure that the slide block 40 can continuously maintain contact with the cam structure 53. Simultaneously, it ensures that after the single-phase energy meter under test is calibrated, the probe structure 60 disengages from the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the single-phase energy meter, allowing the slide block 40 to return to its initial position. This structure effectively controls and adjusts the movement stroke of the slide block 40 and the probe structure 60, improving calibration efficiency and demonstrating strong practicality.
[0034] It should be noted that the driver 55 can be either a servo motor or a stepper motor.
[0035] In some embodiments, the mounting platform 20 described above can be as follows: Figure 1 The structure shown. See also Figure 1The mounting platform 20 is provided with a vertical plate 22, which is located at the end of the slide cavity 21 away from the receiving and fixing component 30. The vertical plate 22 is provided with a first threaded hole for threaded connection of the adjusting screw 52. The vertical plate 22 ensures the connection of the adjusting screw 52, thereby ensuring the adjustment of the initial position of the slide 40.
[0036] In some embodiments, the cam structure 53 described above can be as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 4 The cam structure 53 includes a roller 531, a slider 532, a fixing screw 533, and an adjusting column 534. The roller 531 is disposed in the installation space, with its axis aligned vertically. The outer circumference of the roller 531 contacts the slide block 40. The roller 531 has an elongated sliding opening 535 that extends vertically through it. The slider 532 is slidably disposed within the elongated sliding opening 535. The slider 532 has a rotating shaft 557 that is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 51. The rotating shaft 557 is connected to the power output end of the driver 55. The fixing screw 533 is positioned along the length of the elongated sliding opening 535, and one end of the fixing screw 533 is fixedly connected to the slider 532. The adjusting column 534 is arranged along the length of the long strip slide 535 and is rotatably connected to the roller 531. One end of the adjusting column 534 near the slider 532 is provided with a second threaded hole for the fixing screw 533 to be inserted and threadedly connected to the fixing screw 533. The other end of the adjusting column 534 is located in the roller 531, and the other end of the adjusting column 534 is provided with a hexagonal groove that can be turned by a wrench. The adjusting column 534 can rotate and pull the fixing screw 533 and the slider 532 to move, so as to adjust the distance between the axis of the rotating shaft 557 and the axis of the roller 531.
[0037] The long slide 535 has a guide groove on its side wall for the slider 532 to slide in a limited position, and the roller 531 has a limiting rotating hole that communicates with the long slide 535 and is used to place the adjusting column 534.
[0038] The rotation of the adjusting column 534 moves the slider 532 via the fixing screw 533, thereby adjusting the axial distance between the rotating shaft 557 and the roller 531. This structure ensures that the travel of the slide block 40 and the probe structure 60 can be readjusted, effectively preventing excessive stress on the probe structure 60 and the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the single-phase energy meter under test during the contact process. Furthermore, this structure is easier to control and has higher adjustment accuracy, making it suitable for the contact process of the probe structure 60 and highly practical.
[0039] In this embodiment, during the verification of the unidirectional energy meter, the slide 40 is driven by the roller 531. Since the outer circumferential surface of the roller 531 is curved, the movement of the slide 40 is not linear. When the slide 40 drives the probe structure 60 to approach the current and voltage terminals and auxiliary communication terminals on the unidirectional energy meter, its speed gradually decreases, which can further ensure the protection of the probe structure 60.
[0040] It should be noted that the other end of the adjusting column 534 must be located inside the roller 531. The roller 531 has a curved surface that contacts the slide block 40, and the limiting rotating hole can penetrate the curved surface.
[0041] In some embodiments, the aforementioned adjusting column 534 may be adopted as follows: Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 4 A limiting ring 536 is fixedly provided on the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting column 534, and an annular limiting groove adapted to the limiting ring 536 is provided on the side wall of the corresponding limiting rotating hole. The setting of the limiting ring 536 and the annular limiting groove can prevent the adjusting column 534 from disengaging from the roller 531 and ensure that the adjusting column 534 is limited.
[0042] In some embodiments, the elastic structure 54 described above can be as follows: Figure 5 The structure shown. See also Figure 5 The horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction is defined as the second direction. The spring-loaded structure 54 includes at least two springs 541, each spring 541 is disposed in the mounting platform 20 along the first direction, and the springs 541 are spaced apart along the second direction. One end of each spring 541 abuts against an abutment plate 41 disposed on the slide 40, and the other end abuts against the mounting platform 20. The mounting platform 20 is provided with a plurality of receiving cavities 23 for accommodating the springs 541, each receiving cavity 23 communicating with the slide cavity 21, and the other end of each spring 541 abuts against the side wall of the receiving cavity 23. The abutment plate 41 is located in the receiving cavity 23, preferably located below the slide 40.
[0043] The spring 541 mainly ensures the springing of the slide 40 so that the slide 40 can continuously abut against the outer peripheral surface of the roller 531.
[0044] In some embodiments, the aforementioned receiving and fixing component 30 may employ, for example... Figure 1 The structure shown. See also Figure 1The receiving and fixing assembly 30 includes an auxiliary platform 31, compensation blocks 32, and a fixing structure 33. The auxiliary platform 31 is fixed on the base 10 and has a slide groove arranged along a first direction. One end of the slide groove is connected to the slide cavity 21, and the other end of the slide groove is connected to the transmission mechanism of the electricity meter calibration line. The auxiliary platform 31 also has a placement groove 311, which is arranged along the first direction, located below the slide groove, and connected to the slide groove. There are two compensation blocks 32, both of which are arranged in the slide groove along the first direction. The two compensation blocks 32 correspond one-to-one with the two side walls of the slide groove. Each compensation block 32 is detachably connected to one side wall of the corresponding slide groove. The two compensation blocks 32 form a fixed channel 35 corresponding to the width of the base of the unidirectional electricity meter under test. Each compensation block 32 has a limiting rod 34 at the end near the slide cavity 21. The fixing structure 33 is located in the placement groove 311. After the energy meter to be tested slides into the fixing channel 35, it can drive the unidirectional energy meter to be tested to move towards the sliding cavity 21 along the first direction, and together with the two limiting rods 34, clamp and fix the unidirectional energy meter to be tested in the first direction.
[0045] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 33 described above can be as follows: Figure 6 The structure shown. See also Figure 6 The fixed structure 33 includes a telescopic structure 331, a movable block 332, a flipping plate 333, and a torsion spring. The telescopic structure 331 is disposed in the placement groove 311 along a first direction. The telescopic structure 331 has a fixed end and a telescopic end. The fixed end of the telescopic structure 331 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary platform 31, and the telescopic end of the telescopic structure 331 extends away from the slide block 40. The movable block 332 is slidably disposed in the placement groove 311 and connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic structure 331. The movable block 332 is provided with a hinge seat. One end of the flipping plate 333 is hinged to the hinge seat. The flipping plate 333 can tilt and rotate to a horizontal position after the telescopic end of the telescopic structure 331 extends to its limit position, or tilt and rotate to a vertical position after the telescopic end of the telescopic structure 331 retracts. When the flip plate 333 is set in a vertical position, the other end of the flip plate 333 is located in the slide groove, pushing the unidirectional energy meter to be tested, and together with the two limit rods 34, clamping and fixing the unidirectional energy meter to be tested. A torsion spring is sleeved on the hinge shaft between the flip plate 333 and the hinge seat. The torsion spring has two abutting ends. One abutting end of the torsion spring abuts against the moving block 332, and the other abutting end of the torsion spring abuts against the flip plate 333, so as to spring the flip plate 333, so that the flip plate 333 has a tendency to flip and maintain a vertical position.
[0046] The placement groove 311 is provided with a limiting plate 312 at the end away from the sliding cavity 21. The top of the limiting plate 312 is flush with the bottom surface of the sliding groove. The limiting plate 312 can abut against the flip plate 333 after the telescopic end of the telescopic structure 331 is extended, so that the flip plate 333 can tilt and rotate to a horizontal state.
[0047] When the telescopic structure 331 extends, it drives the moving block 332 to move. Under the action of the limiting plate 312, the flip plate 333 will tilt and rotate to a horizontal position, that is, it will be fastened to the moving seat. At this time, it can prevent it from occupying the space of the slide groove and prevent interference with the single-phase energy meter entering the slide groove. When the single-phase energy meter enters the slide groove, the telescopic structure 331 retracts, and the moving block 332 drives the flip plate 333. After the flip plate 333 is out of contact with the limiting plate 312, it will tilt and rotate to a vertical position under the action of the torsion spring. At this time, the other end of the flip plate 333 is located in the slide groove and abuts against the single-phase energy meter. As the telescopic structure 331 continues to retract, the flip plate 333 pushes the single-phase energy meter and finally clamps the single-phase energy meter together with the limiting rod 34.
[0048] The auxiliary platform 31 ensures connection with the transmission mechanism. The compensation block 32 adjusts the width of the fixed channel 35 to accommodate different types of single-phase energy meters. Preferably, the compensation block 32 is bolted to the sidewall of the slide. Preferably, each limiting rod 34 is perpendicular to the length direction of the slide and located above the compensation block 32 to prevent interference with the probe structure 60. Preferably, the limiting rod 34 is bolted to the compensation block 32.
[0049] Additionally, it should be noted that the flip plate 333 can be a rectangular plate, and the moving block 332 can have a horizontal surface. The hinge portion on the flip plate 333, which is rotatably connected to the hinge seat, can be located on the plate surface facing the slide block 40 when the flip plate 333 is in a vertical position. (See [reference]). Figure 6 This structure ensures that when the tilting plate 333 is tilted to a vertical position, the side of the tilting plate 333 can be limited by the moving block 332, thus ensuring the tilting angle.
[0050] In some embodiments, the aforementioned flip plate 333 may be adopted as follows: Figure 6 The structure shown. See also Figure 6 Pressure sensors are provided on the flip plate 333 and the plate surface of the unidirectional energy meter to be tested. The pressure sensors can monitor the clamping force of the flip plate 333 and the limit rod 34 on the unidirectional energy meter to be tested. The pressure sensors can be electrically connected to the main controller. The pressure sensors can mainly monitor the clamping force of the flip plate 333 and the limit rod 34 on the unidirectional energy meter to be tested, so as to prevent the two from damaging the unidirectional energy meter to be tested.
[0051] In some embodiments, the probe structure 60 described above can be as follows: Figure 7 The structure shown. See also Figure 7 Each probe structure 60 includes an abutment pin 61 and an elastic element 62. The abutment pin 61 is slidably disposed in the slide 40 along a first direction, and the other end of the abutment pin 61 extends out of the slide 40 and abuts against the corresponding current and voltage terminals or auxiliary communication terminals on the unidirectional energy meter to be tested. The elastic element 62 is located in the slide 40 and is disposed along the first direction. The elastic element 62 abuts against the abutment pin 61 and can buffer the impact force received by the abutment pin 61.
[0052] The slide block 40 is provided with a sliding hole for sliding connection of the abutment pin 61 and for placement of the elastic element 62.
[0053] The elastic element 62 springs the abutment pin 61, which can buffer the impact force on the abutment pin 61. Furthermore, it can buffer the abutment pin 61 after it has been subjected to a large abutting force, preventing deformation or damage to the abutment pin 61, thus demonstrating strong practicality. Preferably, the elastic element 62 can be a spring.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
