Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electricity meter calibration and testing technology, specifically relating to a compatible electricity meter accessory device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] There is currently one electricity meter calibration and testing conveyor line, which can only test terminal electricity meters and cannot meet the calibration and testing needs of multiple types of electricity meters. Due to the limited space, adding a new conveyor line is impractical. It is difficult to achieve the calibration and testing of multiple types of electricity meters by setting up multiple conveyor lines. Therefore, when the space is limited and there is only one conveyor line, it is difficult for the conveyor line to test multiple types of electricity meters.

[0003] Because the aforementioned conveyor lines were designed and developed in the early stages, they are divided into wide and narrow lines with different widths. Previously, upgrades to these lines typically involved increasing the types and number of electricity meter connection devices within the line equipment. This meant adding calibration and testing equipment for different types of electricity meters to the existing spare parts of the line. Simultaneously, this required dismantling and rebuilding the conveyor line or designing the dimensions and layout of the new equipment to ensure it could accommodate both widths, thus enabling the calibration of multiple types of electricity meters on a single production line. This type of upgrade was time-consuming and costly, requiring separate design and on-site assembly and debugging for different line equipment. It also necessitated adding multiple pieces of equipment and their corresponding connection devices, and required sufficient on-site space for the placement and layout of the new equipment.

[0004] Currently, there is a lack of compatible energy meter supporting equipment to realize "upgrading the existing conveyor line into a production line capable of calibrating and testing various energy meters without dismantling and rebuilding the conveyor line".

[0005] Currently, there is a lack of a new and targeted method to scientifically guide people in using the new compatible tray device to carry the energy meter along the conveyor line for verification and testing.

[0038] The compatible tray device of the present invention can accommodate different types of energy meters, such as terminal energy meters, three-phase direct energy meters, and three-phase mutual inductance energy meters, according to actual conditions. The meter connector, blocking component, and movable limiting mechanism of the present invention are set on the tray base to form a placement area for placing energy meters. Since the movable limiting mechanism is adjustable, the size of the placement area is adjustable, so that the placement area can flexibly adapt to the placement of different types of energy meters. Moreover, the present invention can adapt to different types of energy meters by changing the type of meter connector. Preferably, the meter connector is detachably installed on the tray base, and the interface matching of different types of energy meters is achieved by changing the type of meter connector as needed.

The movable pressure gauge mechanism 341 is disposed on one side and below the tray base 31. The self-locking adjustment mechanism 342 is disposed below the tray base 31.

[0082] The positioning and separation device 2 can be positioned with the pin of the compatible pallet device 3, which is moved to a set position on the conveyor line 4.

[0083] The pusher device 1 can drive the movable pressure mechanism 341 to press the electricity meter 5 installed in the installation area A; the pusher device 1 can also drive the movable pressure mechanism 341 to release the limit on the electricity meter 5.

[0085] In one embodiment, specifically, the energy meter 5 is an instrument used to measure and record energy consumption. The compatible tray device 3 of the present invention is a carrier for use on the conveyor line 4, which can carry the energy meter 5 and then flow into various processes along the calibration and testing conveyor line 4 to test various performance indicators of the energy meter 5.

[0121] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for using a compatible energy meter accessory device, so as to scientifically guide people to use the new compatible tray device to carry the energy meter along the conveyor line for verification and testing.

[0122] Reference Figures 1 to 14 A method for using a compatible energy meter accessory includes the following steps:

[0123] S1. The unloaded compatible pallet device 3 moves with the conveyor line 4 and moves to the set position of the conveyor line with the pusher device 1 and the positioning separation device 2, and is initially positioned by the automatic stop of the conveyor line 4.

[0124] S2. The positioning and separation mechanism 22 of the positioning and separation device 2 is activated, the main board 223 rises, and is connected to the positioning sleeve D1 of the compatible tray device 3 through the positioning pin 224 to achieve complete positioning.

[0125] S3. Place the electricity meter 5 into the placement area A of the compatible tray device 3;

[0126] S4. The first direction action mechanism 12 of the pusher device 1 is activated, driving the push plate assembly 123 to press the movable limit mechanism 34 of the compatible tray device 3. The movable pressure mechanism 341 of the movable limit mechanism 34 moves into the compatible tray device 3 and presses one side of the energy meter 5. The energy meter 5 is stably fixed in the placement area A. At this time, each connection hole on the energy meter 4 is in contact with the probe of the meter base 32, and the energy meter is in the connection state.

[0127] S5. The pneumatic gripper mechanism 23 of the positioning and separation device 2 is activated, driving the first actuating component 232 to actuate the movable limit block C2 of the self-locking adjustment mechanism 342. The movable limit block C2 is actuated to the reset path of the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341, and jams the fixed limit block B4 of the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341 to restrict the overall reset of the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341.

[0128] S6. The first direction action mechanism 12 of the pusher device 1 is activated, driving the pusher assembly 123 to reset.

[0129] S7. The positioning separation mechanism 22 of the positioning separation device 2 is activated, the main board 223 descends, and the positioning pin 224 separates from the positioning sleeve D1 of the compatible tray device 3.

[0130] S8. The automatic stop of the conveyor line 4 releases the positioning restriction on the compatible pallet device 3. The compatible pallet device 3, carrying the energy meter 5, moves with the conveyor line 4 and flows into each process.

[0131] Furthermore, the method of using the compatible energy meter accessory device also includes the following steps:

[0132] S9. Test several performance parameters of the electricity meter 5;

[0133] S10. After several performance tests of the energy meter 5 are completed, the compatible tray device 3 carries the energy meter 5 and follows the conveyor line 4 to the next set position of the conveyor line 4, which has a push device 1 and a positioning and separation device 2, and is initially positioned by the automatic stop of the conveyor line 4.

[0134] S11, the positioning separation mechanism 22 of the positioning separation device 2 is activated, the main board 223 rises, and is connected to the positioning sleeve D1 of the compatible tray device 3 through the positioning pin 224 to achieve complete positioning;

[0135] S12, the first direction action mechanism 12 of the pusher device 1 is activated, driving the push plate assembly 123 to press the movable limit mechanism 34 of the compatible tray device 3. Then, the second direction action mechanism 13 is activated, driving the pull plate 133 to descend to maintain a set hooking distance with the hanging plate B13 of the pressure assembly B1 of the movable pressure mechanism 341.

[0136] S13, the pneumatic gripper mechanism 23 of the positioning and separation device 2 is activated, driving the second actuating component 233 to move the movable limit block C2 of the self-locking adjustment mechanism 342. The movable limit block C2 is adjusted so that it no longer falls on the reset path of the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341 and no longer jams the fixed limit block B4 of the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341. Thus, the reset restriction of the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341 is released.

[0137] S14. The first direction action mechanism 12 of the pusher device 1 is activated, driving the push plate assembly 123 to reset. At this time, the pull plate 133 of the second direction action mechanism 13 will pull the movable pressure gauge mechanism 341 to reset as well.

[0138] S15. Remove electricity meter 5 from resettlement area A;

[0139] S16. The positioning separation mechanism 22 of the positioning separation device 2 is activated, driving the main board 223 to descend, and the positioning pin 224 separates from the positioning sleeve D1 of the compatible tray device 3.

[0140] S17. The automatic stop of the conveyor line 4 releases the positioning restriction on the compatible pallet device 3. The unloaded compatible pallet device 3 flows into the pallet buffer area with the conveyor line 4, waiting for the next online operation.

[0141] In one embodiment, when the conveyor line 4 needs to test different energy meters, the compatible tray devices 3 are first sorted and placed in the tray buffer area. Each type of tray base 31 has the same structure. When assembling the compatible tray devices 3 initially, only different meter connectors 32 need to be installed to achieve flexible compatibility with different energy meters later. When there is a need for online testing of energy meters, the compatible tray devices 3 equipped with the corresponding type of meter connectors 32 are released and flow into the conveyor line to cooperate in completing the energy meter testing and verification task.

[0142] The usage steps S1-S17 of the present invention are the preferred usage methods. In practice, the mechanical action methods that can be combined from the meter pusher 1, the positioning and separation device 2, and the compatible tray device 3 are not limited to the usage steps mentioned in S1-S17 above. That is, in another embodiment, the present invention can combine the actual situation, the characteristics and capabilities of the meter pusher 1, and the characteristics and capabilities of the positioning and separation device 2 to create another mechanical action method that differs from the above usage steps, thereby achieving an auxiliary and cooperative role for the compatible tray device 3, so as to successfully place or remove the electricity meter 5.

[0143] This invention has a simple structure, requires little installation space, and is highly adaptable, requiring no major modifications to the site or conveyor line. This invention can achieve the purpose of modifying the conveyor line with very little space, saving modification costs and improving modification efficiency.

[0144] Other aspects of the compatible energy meter accessory device and usage method described in this invention can be found in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0145] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
