Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of assembling an electric meter battery box, and in particular to an assembling system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] At present, when assembling the negative electrode spring on the battery box of the electric meter, it is usually achieved by manually pressing. The efficiency of manual pressing is low and assembly errors are prone to occur. When performing assembly line operations, the processing efficiency of the entire assembly line is limited. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve the technical problem of low manual assembly efficiency existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides an assembly system.

[0005] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a control method.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the present invention provides an assembly system, including: a frame, on which a transmission device is provided, and the transmission device is used to carry an electric meter battery box; a pressing assembly, which is provided on the frame, and the pressing assembly includes a block structure and a pressure block structure connected by an elastic member; an electric control device, which is provided on the frame; wherein the electric control device is used to control the operation of the transmission device so that the electric meter battery box on the transmission device moves along the second direction, and the electric control device is used to control the pressing assembly to move along the first direction, so that the electrode member is installed in the installation groove of the electric meter battery box through the abutment between the pressure block structure and the electrode member.

[0007] The assembly system proposed in the present invention includes a frame, a transmission device and a pressing assembly. The assembly system realizes the automated process of assembling the battery box of the electric meter through the close combination of the frame, the transmission device and the pressing assembly. The electric meter battery box is moved in a predetermined direction by the transmission device, and the electrode parts are accurately assembled into the electric meter battery box of the electric energy meter under the action of the pressing assembly. The automated design of the system reduces the errors of manual operation and improves production efficiency and assembly accuracy. It should be added that the electric meter battery box is assembled in the electric energy meter. Generally, the electric meter battery box is used to accommodate two batteries.

[0008] Among them, the pressing assembly includes a block structure, a pressure block structure and an elastic member. One end of the elastic member is connected to the block structure, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the pressure block structure. Specifically, it can be fixed by welding, bolts or other mechanical connection methods, ensuring that the elastic member can effectively transmit force during pressing. At the same time, through this connection, the movement of the pressure block structure can be adjusted by the characteristics of the elastic member.

[0009] In the initial state of the pressed assembly, the elastic member is in a relaxed state and no external force is applied. At this time, the distance between the pressing block structure and the stop block structure is large, and the electrode member can be easily placed in the limit groove. When the pressing block structure begins to move to the second position, the elastic member is gradually stretched or compressed. The deformation of the elastic member will generate a certain reaction force, which will provide the necessary pressure during the pressing process to ensure that the electrode member can be smoothly pressed into the installation groove.

[0010] After the pressing action is completed, the force of the elastic member will maintain a certain degree of tension or compression to ensure the stability of the electrode member in the installation groove.

[0011] It should be emphasized that the elastic member can provide a soft and adjustable pressing force during the pressing process to avoid direct hard pressing to damage the electrode member. This buffering effect helps to protect the structure and function of the electrode member, especially in the case of fragile materials.

[0012] When the pressing block structure moves downward, the elastic member can absorb part of the impact force to prevent damage caused by rapid downward pressure, thereby reducing the failure rate and improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0013] After the pressing is completed, the elastic part can quickly return to its original state to ensure that the pressure block structure and the stop block structure maintain an appropriate distance for the next operation. This reset function enables the equipment to quickly repeat work and improves production efficiency.

[0014] During the pressing process, the presence of the elastic member can ensure that the electrode member remains stable when pressed into the mounting groove, reducing the risk of displacement and tilting, thereby improving the installation accuracy.

[0015] By introducing elastic parts, the overall performance of the press-fit assembly has been significantly improved. The elastic parts not only provide the necessary soft pressing force and impact absorption capacity, but also ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment in high-frequency operation. This design enables the electrode parts to be assembled with higher efficiency while ensuring accuracy, improving the automation level of the production line and reducing labor costs and operational risks.

[0016] The frame is the basic framework of the system, and the transmission device and pressing components are installed on the frame. The size and structural design of the frame should provide sufficient strength and stability according to the requirements of the production line.

[0017] The conveyor is used to move the meter battery box from one station to the next station and continuously transport it along the second direction. The second direction is usually the horizontal direction along the production line.

[0018] The transmission device can be a conveyor belt, roller or other type of transmission device, depending on production requirements and system design. The transmission device ensures that the meter battery box moves at a predetermined speed and direction throughout the production process, so that the meter battery box can automatically move from the previous process to the bottom of the pressing assembly to prepare for the pressing assembly of the electrode parts.

[0019] The speed and running time of the conveyor can be adjusted by the control system to ensure coordination with the working rhythm of the press assembly.

[0020] The pressing assembly is a key component in the system, which is used to accurately press the electrode into the installation slot of the battery box of the electric meter. The pressing assembly is arranged above the frame, facing the position of the battery box of the electric meter on the transmission device.

[0021] The pressing assembly is fixed at the upper position of the frame, perpendicular to the transmission device. After the meter battery box is moved to the specified position by the transmission device, the pressing assembly performs the pressing operation. The pressing assembly is responsible for the precise installation of the electrode parts in the meter battery box. It includes a block structure and a pressing block structure to ensure that the electrode parts do not deviate and are accurately positioned in the installation slot of the meter battery box. Through the action of the pressing assembly, the electrode parts can be pressed in a short time, which helps to improve the work efficiency of the assembly line.

[0022] The press-fit assembly and the transfer device work together in the assembly system to ensure that the meter battery box is accurately positioned under the press-fit assembly before assembly. The transfer device is responsible for moving the meter battery box from the initial position to under the press-fit assembly. After the sensor detects that the meter battery box has reached the correct position, the press-fit assembly begins to press down to install the electrode. This coordination ensures the precise positioning of the meter battery box, so that the press-fit assembly can accurately apply pressure and accurately install the electrode into the meter battery box. Synchronous control between the press-fit assembly and the transfer device ensures high efficiency and accuracy throughout the assembly process, avoiding assembly errors or stagnation due to timing issues.

[0023] The conveyor moves the meter battery box in a second direction (generally the direction of the production line). The conveyor is arranged horizontally in the frame, and the meter battery box moves from one station to the next station along the second direction. The pressing assembly is located above a specific position of the conveyor. The movement in this direction can be linear or adjusted appropriately according to the special needs of the production line. The design of the transportation direction ensures that the meter battery box can pass through each processing and assembly station smoothly.

[0024] In some technical schemes, optionally, it also includes: a driving cylinder, which is transmission-connected to the block structure, and the driving cylinder is used to drive the block structure to move to the first position or to the second position; wherein, the block structure is provided with a limiting groove adapted to the electrode member, and at least one end of the pressure block structure is provided with a pressing piece corresponding to the limiting groove, the pressure block structure is in the first position, the block structure is located in the battery box of the electric meter, the pressing piece is abutted against the electrode member, the pressure block structure moves toward the battery box of the electric meter to the second position, and the electrode member moves into the installation groove.

[0025] In this technical solution, the driving cylinder is mainly used to provide power for the movement of the block structure, so that it can accurately move from the first position to the second position during the entire operation and achieve stable pressing operation. The driving cylinder is a power source component that pushes its piston rod to move by compressed gas, thereby transmitting mechanical force to drive the movement of the block structure. The driving cylinder is connected to the block structure in a transmission manner, and the power of the driving cylinder is usually transmitted to the block structure by a lever or direct connection. In the initial state of the driving cylinder, the piston rod is in a retracted position and the block structure is in the first position.

[0026] The driving cylinder can push or pull the stopper structure to accurately move between the first position and the second position to complete the displacement control in the pressing operation. With the action of the driving cylinder, the stopper structure can move between the first position and the second position.

[0027] The power of the driving cylinder can directly act on the block structure, pushing or pulling the block structure to move on the guide rail, and the entire pressing assembly can accurately complete the positioning and installation of the electrode part.

[0028] The transmission connection system is precisely designed to ensure that the block structure will not get stuck or deviate during movement, which enhances the reliability of the assembly process.

[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, a bayonet structure is provided at one end of the mounting groove, and the pressing block structure moves to the second position, and the electrode member is located in the bayonet structure.

[0030] In this technical solution, the bayonet structure is located at one end of the installation slot of the battery box of the electric meter, and is used to fix the electrode member in the installation slot after it is fully pressed in. The bayonet structure provides a locking point. When the electrode member is pressed into the installation slot, the bayonet structure clamps the electrode member to prevent it from loosening or moving from the installation slot. The bayonet structure can be in the shape of a groove or a buckle.

[0031] It can be understood that the bayonet structure can provide additional anti-vibration and anti-loosening functions, especially when the battery device needs to withstand external shock or vibration, the electrode component can still maintain a stable installation position.

[0032] When the pressing block structure moves from the first position to the second position, its movement pushes the electrode member to gradually enter the installation slot from the limiting slot. Finally, the electrode member moves to the bayonet structure of the installation slot and is embedded therein.

[0033] The movement of the pressing block structure gradually changes the electrode part from the initial positioning (in the limiting groove) to the final fixation (in the bayonet structure). Through this gradual pressing process, the electrode part can be accurately embedded in the bayonet structure.

[0034] The pressing action of the pressing block structure ensures that the electrode component can remain stable during the pressing process, avoiding the electrode component from being skewed or the bayonet being damaged due to uneven pressing force.

[0035] When the pressing block structure reaches the second position, the electrode piece is firmly located in the bayonet structure and the installation is completed. At this time, the pressing block structure stops moving to ensure that the electrode piece is completely locked.

[0036] The movement of the pressing block structure accurately controls the depth of the electrode member entering the bayonet, ensuring that the electrode member can be stably inserted without damaging the electrode member or the battery box of the electric meter due to excessive force.

[0037] The electrode piece gradually enters the installation groove under the push of the pressing piece and finally is embedded in the bayonet structure. This positional relationship ensures that the electrode piece can be accurately aligned with the bayonet and smoothly embedded under the push of the pressing block structure.

[0038] The electrode piece and the bayonet structure cooperate with each other, so that automatic alignment and locking can be achieved during the installation process. The mechanical locking effect provided by the bayonet structure keeps the electrode piece firmly assembled in the battery box of the meter. After the electrode piece is inserted into the bayonet structure, the entire pressing and installation process is completed. The electrode piece no longer requires additional fixing measures because the bayonet structure can provide sufficient fixing force to prevent the electrode piece from loosening.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, a plurality of battery compartments arranged in parallel are provided in the battery box of the electric meter, and each battery compartment is used to place a battery; wherein, a mounting groove is provided at the same end of the plurality of battery compartments, and a pressing piece is provided at one end of the pressing block structure, or, the mounting grooves are provided at different ends of the plurality of battery compartments, and pressing pieces are provided at both ends of the pressing block structure.

[0040] In this technical solution, the battery box of the electric meter is designed to include multiple battery compartments arranged in parallel, each battery compartment is used to place a battery, and mounting grooves are provided at the same end or different ends of these battery compartments, and the batteries in the multiple battery compartments are firmly installed in the mounting grooves in the battery box of the electric meter through the pressing assembly. The flexibility of the design allows the pressing block structure to adapt to different battery compartment configurations, thereby achieving efficient mass production and assembly.

[0041] The meter battery box is equipped with multiple parallel battery compartments, each of which is used to place a battery. This design allows multiple batteries to be processed at the same time, improving production efficiency. The parallel setting makes the assembly process more orderly and facilitates the operation of robots or automated equipment.

[0042] The same or different ends of multiple battery compartments are provided with mounting grooves for fixing the batteries. If the mounting grooves are provided at the same end, all battery compartments can receive the action of the pressing block at the same time during the assembly process. If the mounting grooves are provided at different ends, both ends of the pressing block structure are provided with pressing pieces, which can press different battery compartments respectively. Under the action of the mounting grooves, the stability of the batteries in the battery compartment can be ensured, and the batteries can be prevented from loosening or falling off during use.

[0043] The mounting slot design at different ends allows the press-fit assembly to flexibly adapt to different battery compartment configurations, increasing the versatility of the device.

[0044] A pressing piece is provided at one or both ends of the pressing block structure, depending on the position of the mounting slot. When the pressing block structure moves toward the battery box of the electric meter, the pressing piece will apply uniform pressure to firmly press the battery into the mounting slot.

[0045] The flexible clamp structure design can adapt to a variety of battery compartment configurations to ensure that each battery can be installed effectively.

[0046] If pressing pieces are provided at both ends of the pressing block structure, multiple battery compartments can be pressed together at the same time, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0047] With the mounting slots on the same end, the movement of the press block can act on all battery compartments at the same time, simplifying the assembly process. The operator or mechanical equipment only needs to press all batteries at one time, further improving efficiency.

[0048] With mounting slots at different ends, the battery compartment can be flexibly handled. There are pressing pieces at both ends of the pressing block structure, which can independently press different battery compartments to adapt to different battery types or specifications, increasing the scope of application of the device.

[0049] In some technical solutions, optionally, it includes: a positioning block, which is arranged on one side of the transmission device in the third direction, and the positioning block is arranged on the frame; a positioning cylinder, which is transmission-connected to the positioning block, and the positioning cylinder is used to drive the positioning block to reciprocate along the third direction; wherein the third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] In this technical solution, by introducing the positioning block and the positioning cylinder, the system can better ensure that the meter battery box remains correctly positioned during the transmission process to prevent displacement during the pressing operation. Specifically, the positioning block is a component fixed next to the transmission device, specifically located on the third direction side of the transmission device. The position of the positioning block is designed to contact the edge of the meter battery box to limit the lateral movement of the meter battery box during transportation.

[0051] The positioning stop ensures that the meter battery box does not shift on the conveyor and remains on the set track by providing a physical boundary.

[0052] This limiting effect can effectively prevent the position of the meter battery box from being offset due to vibration or other factors before entering the pressing assembly, ensuring the accuracy of the pressing process. The positioning cylinder is a pneumatic device connected to the positioning block. The positioning cylinder is pneumatically driven to enable the positioning block to reciprocate quickly as needed so that the meter battery box can be positioned in time when it arrives.

[0053] The third direction is perpendicular to the second direction (transportation direction of the battery box) and the first direction (vertical direction of the press-fit assembly), and is usually used to define the movement direction of the positioning block. The design of the third direction enables the positioning block to achieve precise positioning without interfering with the normal transportation of the battery box.

[0054] Due to the perpendicular relationship between the second direction and the third direction, the movement of the positioning block will not affect the transportation route of the battery box of the electric meter, which helps to maintain the smoothness of the production line.

[0055] By introducing positioning blocks and positioning cylinders, the positioning accuracy of the meter battery box of the assembly system has been significantly improved. The positioning blocks effectively limit the lateral movement of the meter battery box, ensuring that it is accurately positioned under the press-fit assembly, while the positioning cylinders provide dynamic positioning capabilities, allowing the system to adapt to the needs of different meter battery boxes. This design combines precise mechanical movement and pneumatic control to provide a more reliable solution for the automated assembly of meter battery boxes, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0056] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a positioning sensor, which is arranged on the frame, and the positioning sensor is used to determine whether there is an electric meter battery box at the assembly position of the transmission device.

[0057] In this technical solution, a positioning sensor is arranged on the frame, and the assembly system can realize real-time detection of the battery box of the electric meter, ensuring that each battery box of the electric meter can reach under the pressing assembly at the right time. Specifically, the positioning sensor is a detection device that can monitor in real time whether there is a battery box of the electric meter on the transmission device, and usually adopts a photoelectric sensor, a proximity sensor or other types of sensors.

[0058] The main function of the positioning sensor is to detect the presence of the battery box of the meter and feed back the detection results to the control system to determine whether the next operation (such as pressing) can be carried out. Through real-time monitoring, the positioning sensor can prevent the pressing assembly from being pressed without the battery box of the meter, thereby avoiding damage to the equipment and electrode parts.

[0059] Positioning sensors work together with other components such as transmission devices, positioning blocks, positioning cylinders, etc. to form an automated assembly chain. The sensors are connected to the control system and can send data in real time to affect subsequent actions (such as the movement of the cylinder).

[0060] When the positioning sensor detects the presence of the meter battery box, the system can start the positioning cylinder to drive the positioning block for positioning so that the meter battery box can accurately reach the bottom of the pressing assembly.

[0061] If the sensor detects that the meter battery box is missing, the system will automatically pause or sound an alarm, avoiding unnecessary mechanical movement and reducing the risk of failure.

[0062] In some technical solutions, optionally, the positioning block specifically includes: a first block, which is arranged on one side of the transmission device in the third direction; wherein, the first block moves to the first limit position, and part of the first block is located on one side of the second direction of the battery box of the electric meter.

[0063] In this technical solution, the positioning block includes a first block, which is a component fixed next to the transmission device and is specifically used to limit the movement of the electric meter battery box to ensure that it can be accurately positioned when entering the pressing assembly. Specifically, the first block is installed on the third direction side of the transmission device. When the first block moves to the first limit position, part of the block will be located on the second direction side of the electric meter battery box, forming a stable boundary to ensure that the electric meter battery box will not shift during transportation. The design of the first block enables the electric meter battery box to be accurately aligned to the position of the pressing assembly, avoiding tilting or deviation caused by transportation, and ensuring that subsequent pressing operations proceed smoothly.

[0064] It can be understood that the first limit position is the movable boundary of the first stopper to ensure its stability during operation. The first limit position is set at the end of the movement track of the first stopper to ensure that the meter battery box can accurately touch it when it reaches it.

[0065] When the battery box of the electric meter contacts the first stopper, the first stopper can effectively limit its position, ensuring that it is correctly positioned under the press-fit assembly. This design ensures that each battery box of the electric meter docks with the press-fit assembly at the right time, improving the efficiency and accuracy of assembly.

[0066] The introduction of the first stopper provides an effective positioning method for the assembly system, ensuring the stability of the battery box during transportation. By setting the first limit position, the first stopper can accurately limit the position of the battery box, improving the accuracy and reliability of the subsequent pressing process. This design optimizes the assembly process and helps improve overall production efficiency.

[0067] In some technical schemes, optionally, the positioning block specifically includes: a second block, which is arranged on the other side of the transmission device in the third direction; wherein, the second block moves to a second limit position, and in the second direction, part of the second block is located on one side of the battery box of the electric meter, and part of the second block is located on the other side of the battery box of the electric meter.

[0068] In this technical solution, the second stopper is installed on the other side of the third direction of the transmission device, and works together with the first stopper to limit the lateral movement of the meter battery box. When the second stopper moves to the second limit position, part of it will be located on one side of the meter battery box, and the other part will be located on the other side of the meter battery box, forming an effective boundary to ensure that the meter battery box will not shift during transportation.

[0069] The second limit position is the movable boundary of the second stopper, ensuring its stability during operation.

[0070] The second limit position is set at the end of the motion track of the second stopper to ensure that the battery box of the electric meter can accurately contact the stopper when arriving.

[0071] When the battery box arrives, the second stopper can effectively limit its position, so that the battery box is precisely aligned under the press-fit assembly. This limiting effect cooperates with the first stopper to ensure that the battery box is effectively supported in both directions, improving the stability and accuracy of assembly.

[0072] The design of the second stopper is combined with the first stopper to provide two-way positioning support for the assembly system, ensuring the stability of the meter battery box during transportation. By setting the second limit position, the second stopper can effectively limit the position of the meter battery box, improving the accuracy and reliability of the pressing process. This double stopper design optimizes the assembly process of the meter battery box and improves the overall production efficiency.

[0073] In some technical schemes, optionally, it also includes: a blocking cylinder, which is arranged on the frame, a blocking block is provided at one end of the blocking cylinder, and the blocking cylinder is arranged on one side of the transmission device in the third direction; a blocking sensor, which is arranged corresponding to the blocking cylinder, and the blocking sensor is used to determine whether there is an ammeter battery box at the material distribution position of the transmission device; wherein, on the transmission device, the ammeter battery box first passes through the material distribution position and then passes through the assembly position.

[0074] In this technical solution, a blocking cylinder and a blocking sensor are provided. The blocking cylinder is an actuator that controls the position of the blocking block by the extension and retraction action of the cylinder. The blocking cylinder is installed on the frame and is located on one side of the transmission device. The main function of the blocking cylinder is to block and position the meter battery box during the transmission process. When the meter battery box reaches the material distribution position, the blocking cylinder extends the blocking block to prevent the meter battery box from moving forward and ensure that the meter battery box stays at the material distribution position. The action of the blocking cylinder can be coordinated with the operation of the transmission device to achieve accurate material distribution and positioning of the meter battery box, preparing for subsequent assembly operations.

[0075] By controlling the blocking cylinder, confusion and collision of the meter battery box during transmission can be avoided, improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0076] The blocking sensor is a detection element used to detect whether there is an ammeter battery box at the dispensing position on the conveyor. The blocking sensor is installed at the position corresponding to the blocking cylinder and can accurately detect the object in front of the blocking block. The function of the blocking sensor is to monitor in real time whether there is an ammeter battery box at the dispensing position. When the sensor detects the ammeter battery box, it sends a signal to the control system, and the control system controls the action of the blocking cylinder according to the signal.

[0077] The presence of the blocking sensor ensures that the system can accurately determine the position of the battery box of the electric meter, avoids unnecessary blocking actions when there is no battery box of the electric meter, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of the system.

[0078] The blocking cylinder and the blocking sensor are located on one side of the transmission device in the third direction and are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission device.

[0079] The setting of the third direction enables the blocking cylinder and the blocking sensor to effectively block and detect the battery box of the electric meter without interfering with the normal operation of the transmission device.

[0080] By controlling in the third direction, accurate material distribution and positioning of the meter battery box can be achieved, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the meter battery box during transmission.

[0081] It should be emphasized that the dividing position refers to the position where the meter battery box needs to be divided and positioned during the transmission process, and the assembly position refers to the position where the meter battery box is assembled.

[0082] On the transmission device, the meter battery box first passes through the material separation position and then the assembly position. The setting of the material separation position enables the meter battery box to be orderly separated and positioned during the transmission process, providing accurate position information for subsequent assembly operations. The determination of the assembly position ensures that the meter battery box is assembled in the correct position, ensuring the accuracy and quality of the assembly.

[0083] The reasonable layout of the material distribution position and the assembly position enables the entire assembly process to be carried out efficiently and accurately, improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0084] The coordinated use of the blocking cylinder and the blocking sensor realizes the precise control and positioning of the transmission of the meter battery box. Through the blocking effect of the blocking cylinder and the detection function of the blocking sensor, the system can accurately distribute the meter battery box to the specified position and perform precise assembly operations at the assembly position. This automated control method improves the efficiency and accuracy of the assembly system, reduces manual intervention, and ensures the quality and consistency of the meter battery box assembly. At the same time, the setting of the third direction and the reasonable layout of the distribution position and assembly position make the system structure more compact and reasonable, and improve the overall performance of the system.

[0085] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a control method for any of the above-mentioned assembly systems, wherein at least one electric meter battery box is arranged on the transmission device, and the transmission device includes a material distribution position and an assembly position, and the control method includes: controlling the transmission device to move along the second direction; when it is determined by the positioning sensor that there is an electric meter battery box at the assembly position, controlling the positioning cylinder to extend toward the electric meter battery box along the third direction to clamp the electric meter battery box; controlling the transmission device to stop moving, and controlling the driving cylinder of the assembly system to drive the block structure to move until the pressure block structure is in the first position, the block structure is located in the electric meter battery box, and the pressure piece is against the electrode piece; controlling the driving cylinder of the assembly system to move until the pressure block structure moves to the second position toward the electric meter battery box, and the electrode piece moves into the installation groove; controlling the driving cylinder to retract, and controlling the transmission device to continue moving.

[0086] According to the control method provided in this application, the whole process is highly automated for efficient assembly of the battery box and the electrode part of the meter, ensuring that the electrode part is accurately installed in the installation slot of the battery box of the meter. Through the coordinated action of the transmission device, the positioning sensor and the cylinder, the whole assembly process is automated, reducing manual operations and improving production efficiency and accuracy.

[0087] By controlling the transmission device to move along the second direction, the transmission device is controlled to push the meter battery box to move to the material distribution position and the assembly position in sequence, ensuring that the meter battery box can reach the assembly position according to the established process and prepare for the subsequent electrode assembly. The movement process is precisely controlled by the electronic control device to ensure that each movement can reach the accurate assembly point.

[0088] The positioning sensor is used to detect whether there is a meter battery box at the assembly position to avoid the occurrence of empty assembly, ensure that the system only performs assembly operations when the meter battery box exists, prevent empty operations and equipment loss, and improve the work efficiency and safety of the system. After the sensor confirms the existence of the meter battery box, the positioning cylinder clamps the meter battery box to ensure that it is stable and motionless during the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.

[0089] Once the meter battery box reaches the assembly position, the conveyor stops moving to ensure that the assembly is carried out at the correct position to avoid assembly confusion or the meter battery box being out of the working range.

[0090] The driving cylinder controls the block structure and the pressing block structure to enter the first position, ensuring that the pressing block structure is accurately aligned with the mounting slot of the battery box of the electric meter and the position of the electrode component, thereby avoiding deviation or inaccurate installation of the electrode component.

[0091] The block structure enters the battery box of the electric meter, the pressing piece is aligned with the electrode piece, and is ready for pressing, and the driving cylinder is controlled to move until the pressing block structure moves to the second position toward the battery box of the electric meter, and the electrode piece is installed in the installation slot. Through appropriate pressure and precise displacement control, the electrode piece can be firmly and accurately installed in the installation slot of the battery box of the electric meter. The accuracy here directly affects the quality of the final product.

[0092] After the assembly is completed, the driving cylinder retracts to release the pressure on the meter battery box and the electrode component, preparing for the assembly of the next meter battery box while reducing damage to the electrode component and the meter battery box.

[0093] After the assembly is completed, the transmission device continues to move and pushes the next meter battery box into the assembly position. This cyclic action enables the system to work continuously, quickly and efficiently complete the assembly of multiple meter battery boxes, and improve overall production efficiency.

[0094] In general, the precise and automated assembly of the battery box and the electrode parts of the electric meter is achieved through the fine process design and the coordination of various components. The role of each process and feature is to ensure the efficiency, accuracy and safety of the assembly, especially in the key links such as positioning, pressing and movement control, which ensures the efficiency and stability of the whole process.

[0095] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: determining that the blocking cylinder of the assembly system is in a retracted state; when the blocking sensor of the assembly system detects that there is an ammeter battery box at the material distribution position, controlling the blocking cylinder of the assembly system to switch to an extended state to block the next ammeter battery box.

[0096] In this technical solution, by cooperating with the blocking cylinder and the blocking sensor, it is ensured that only one meter battery box is moved to the assembly position at a time, thereby preventing multiple meter battery boxes from entering the assembly area at the same time and preventing equipment from being blocked or misplaced.

[0097] Before assembly begins, the system first determines that the blocking cylinder is in a retracted state, that is, the transmission of the meter battery box is not blocked at this time. During the transmission of the meter battery box, the current meter battery box can smoothly pass through the material distribution position and enter the assembly position for further operation, avoiding accidental obstruction and causing the meter battery box to stagnate or jam.

[0098] The blocking sensor detects in real time whether there is a meter battery box at the dispensing position, preventing the next meter battery box from entering the assembly position too early, thereby affecting the current assembly process. Ensure the synchronization and orderliness of the assembly process. Only when the current meter battery box has completed assembly and left the assembly position, the new meter battery box will be allowed to enter the assembly area, preventing multiple meter battery boxes from entering the assembly position at the same time, causing assembly errors or interference.

[0099] When the presence of a meter battery box is detected at the dispensing position, the blocking cylinder is controlled to switch from the retracted state to the extended state to block the movement of the next meter battery box, preventing multiple meter battery boxes from moving to the assembly position at the same time, ensuring that each assembly operation is performed on only one meter battery box, thereby maintaining the order and stability of the system. Through the control of the blocking cylinder, the meter battery boxes can wait to enter the assembly area in a predetermined order, thereby avoiding overload or failure on the transmission device.

[0100] The addition of a blocking cylinder and blocking sensor adds a layer of precise meter battery box flow control to the original conveying process. They ensure that only one meter battery box enters the assembly position when the conveyor moves in the second direction, and no other meter battery boxes enter before the assembly operation is completed.

[0101] Improve the efficiency of automated assembly: Through the reasonable regulation of the meter battery box, the problem of meter battery box conflict or accumulation during the assembly process is reduced, making the operation of the entire system smoother and more efficient.

[0102] By coordinating the blocking cylinder, blocking sensor with the original positioning sensor, transmission device and pressing system, this control method not only improves the accuracy and speed of installing the electrode parts to the meter battery box, but also prevents the misalignment and equipment failure that may be caused by multiple meter battery boxes entering the assembly area through precise control of the flow of the meter battery box, thereby improving the overall automation level, stability and assembly efficiency of the system.

[0121] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0122] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0123] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 13 Some embodiments according to the invention are described.

[0124] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, this embodiment provides an assembly system 200, including a frame 202, a transmission device 204 and a pressing assembly 100. The assembly system 200 realizes the automated process of assembling the battery box 500 of the electric meter through the close combination of the frame 202, the transmission device 204 and the pressing assembly 100. The battery box 500 of the electric meter is moved along a predetermined direction by the transmission device 204, and the electrode member 504 is accurately assembled into the battery box 500 of the electric meter under the action of the pressing assembly 100. The automated design of the system reduces the error of manual operation and improves production efficiency and assembly accuracy.

[0125] The pressing assembly 100 includes a stopper structure 102, a pressing block structure 104 and an elastic member 106. Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, one end of the elastic member 106 is connected to the block structure 102, and the other end of the elastic member 106 is connected to the pressing block structure 104, which can be fixed by welding, bolts or other mechanical connection methods, thereby ensuring that the elastic member 106 can effectively transmit force when pressed. At the same time, through this connection, the movement of the pressing block structure 104 can be adjusted by the characteristics of the elastic member 106.

[0126] In the initial state of the pressing assembly 100, the elastic member 106 is in a relaxed state and no external force is applied. At this time, the distance between the pressing block structure 104 and the stop block structure 102 is large, and the electrode member 504 can be conveniently placed such as Figure 4 When the electronic control device 218 controls the transmission device to operate so that the battery box of the electric meter on the transmission device moves along the second direction, and the electronic control device controls the pressing assembly to move along the first direction, when the pressing block structure 104 starts to move to the second position, the elastic member 106 is gradually stretched or compressed. The deformation of the elastic member 106 will generate a certain reaction force, which will provide the necessary pressure during the pressing process to ensure that the electrode member 504 can be smoothly pressed into the electrode member 504. Figure 5 In the mounting slot 502 shown.

[0127] After the pressing action is completed, the force of the elastic member 106 will maintain a certain degree of tension or compression to ensure the stability of the electrode member 504 in the installation groove 502 .

[0128] It should be emphasized that the elastic member 106 can provide a soft and adjustable pressing force during the pressing process to prevent direct hard pressing from damaging the electrode member 504. This buffering effect helps to protect the structure and function of the electrode member 504, especially in the case of fragile materials.

[0129] When the pressing block structure 104 moves downward, the elastic member 106 can absorb part of the impact force to prevent damage caused by rapid downward pressure, thereby reducing the failure rate and improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0130] The elastic member 106 can quickly return to its initial state after the pressing is completed, ensuring that the pressing block structure 104 and the stop block structure 102 maintain an appropriate distance for the next operation. This reset function enables the device to quickly repeat work and improves production efficiency.

[0131] During the pressing process, the presence of the elastic member 106 can ensure that the electrode member 504 remains stable when pressed into the installation groove 502, reducing the risk of displacement and tilting, thereby improving the installation accuracy.

[0132] In some embodiments, optionally, Fig.10 As shown, the protective cover 216 is a protective structure mounted on the outside of the frame 202, which is used to surround the entire pressing assembly 100 to form a closed or semi-closed working area. The main function of the protective cover 216 is to protect the operator from mechanical damage caused by the pressing assembly 100 during operation, and to prevent the pressing block or other components from causing potential danger to personnel during movement. During the assembly process, the processing of the meter battery box 500 or the electrode member 504 may produce tiny dust or debris. The protective cover 216 can effectively isolate these debris to prevent them from spreading into the workshop environment and keep the working environment clean. The protective cover 216 can also protect key equipment such as the pressing assembly 100 from external environmental pollution (such as dust, liquid, etc.), thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

[0133] The protective cover 216 may be made of a transparent or translucent material so that the operator can observe the internal operation conditions.

[0134] By introducing the elastic member 106, the overall performance of the press-fit assembly 100 is significantly improved. The elastic member 106 not only provides the necessary soft pressing force and impact absorption capacity, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the device in high-frequency operation. This design enables the electrode member 504 to complete assembly with higher efficiency while ensuring accuracy, improves the automation level of the production line, and reduces labor costs and operating risks.

[0135] The frame 202 is the basic framework of the system, and the transmission device 204 and the pressing assembly 100 are installed on the frame 202. The size and structural design of the frame 202 should be based on the requirements of the production line to provide sufficient strength and stability.

[0136] The transmission device 204 is used to move the meter battery box 500 from one workstation to the next workstation and continuously transport it along the second direction, which is usually the horizontal direction along the production line.

[0137] The transmission device 204 can be a conveyor belt, a roller or other types of transmission devices, depending on production requirements and system design. The transmission device 204 ensures that the meter battery box 500 moves at a predetermined speed and direction throughout the production process, so that the meter battery box 500 can automatically move from the previous process to the bottom of the pressing assembly 100 to prepare for the pressing assembly of the electrode member 504.

[0138] The speed and running time of the transmission device 204 can be adjusted by the control system to ensure coordination with the working rhythm of the pressing assembly 100.

[0139] The pressing assembly 100 is a key component in the system, and is used to accurately press-fit the electrode member 504 into the mounting slot 502 of the meter battery box 500. The pressing assembly 100 is arranged above the frame 202, facing the meter battery box 500 on the transmission device 204.

[0140] The pressing assembly 100 is fixed at the upper position of the frame 202, perpendicular to the transmission device 204. After the meter battery box 500 is moved to the specified position through the transmission device 204, the pressing assembly 100 performs the pressing operation. The pressing assembly 100 is responsible for the precise installation of the electrode member 504 in the meter battery box 500. It includes a block structure 102 and a pressing block structure 104, which ensures that the electrode member 504 does not deviate and is accurately positioned in the installation slot 502 of the meter battery box 500. Through the action of the pressing assembly 100, the electrode member 504 can be pressed in a short time, which helps to improve the work efficiency of the assembly line.

[0141] The pressing assembly 100 and the transmission device 204 work together in the assembly system 200 to ensure that the meter battery box 500 is accurately positioned under the pressing assembly 100 before the assembly operation. The transmission device 204 is responsible for moving the meter battery box 500 from the initial position to the bottom of the pressing assembly 100. After the sensor detects that the meter battery box 500 has reached the correct position, the pressing assembly 100 begins to press down to install the electrode member 504. This coordination ensures the accurate positioning of the meter battery box 500, so that the pressing assembly 100 can accurately apply pressure and accurately install the electrode member 504 into the meter battery box 500. The synchronous control between the pressing assembly 100 and the transmission device 204 ensures high efficiency and accuracy in the entire assembly process, avoiding assembly errors or stagnation caused by timing problems.

[0142] The structure of the battery box 500 is as follows: Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 shown.

[0143] The transport device 204 moves the meter battery box 500 in a second direction (generally the direction of the production line). The transport device 204 is arranged horizontally in the frame 202, and the meter battery box 500 moves from one station to the next station along the second direction. The pressing assembly 100 is located above a specific position of the transport device 204. The movement in this direction can be linear or appropriately adjusted according to the special needs of the production line. The design of the transport direction ensures that the meter battery box 500 can pass through each processing and assembly station smoothly.

[0144] In some embodiments, optionally, the driving cylinder 108 is mainly used to provide power for the movement of the block structure 102, so that it can accurately move from the first position to the second position during the entire operation and achieve a stable pressing operation. The driving cylinder 108 is a power source component that pushes its piston rod to move by compressed gas, thereby transmitting mechanical force to drive the movement of the block structure 102. The driving cylinder 108 is connected to the block structure 102 in a transmission manner, and the power of the driving cylinder 108 is usually transmitted to the block structure 102 by a lever or a direct connection. In the initial state of the driving cylinder 108, the piston rod is in a retracted position, and the block structure 102 is in the first position.

[0145] The driving cylinder 108 can push or pull the stopper structure 102 to accurately move between the first position and the second position to complete the displacement control in the pressing operation. With the action of the driving cylinder 108, the stopper structure 102 can move between the first position and the second position.

[0146] The power of the driving cylinder 108 can directly act on the block structure 102 to push or pull the block structure 102 to move on the guide rail, and the entire pressing assembly 100 can accurately complete the positioning and installation of the electrode member 504.

[0147] The transmission connection system is precisely designed to ensure that the block structure 102 will not get stuck or deviate during movement, thereby enhancing the reliability of the assembly process.

[0148] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 5 As shown, the bayonet structure 110 is located at one end of the mounting slot 502 of the battery box 500 of the electric meter, and is used to fix the electrode member 504 in the mounting slot 502 after it is fully pressed in. The bayonet structure 110 provides a locking point. When the electrode member 504 is pressed into the mounting slot 502, the bayonet structure 110 clamps the electrode member 504 to prevent it from being loosened or moved from the mounting slot 502. The bayonet structure 110 can be in the shape of a groove or a buckle.

[0149] It can be understood that the bayonet structure 110 can provide additional anti-vibration and anti-loosening functions, especially when the battery device needs to withstand external shock or vibration, the electrode member 504 can still maintain a stable installation position.

[0150] When the pressing block structure 104 moves from the first position to the second position, its movement pushes the electrode member 504 to gradually enter the installation slot 502 from the limiting slot 1022. Finally, the electrode member 504 moves to the bayonet structure 110 of the installation slot 502 and is embedded therein.

[0151] The movement of the pressing block structure 104 gradually changes the electrode member 504 from the initial positioning (in the limiting groove 1022 ) to the final fixing (in the bayonet structure 110 ). Through this gradual pressing process, the electrode member 504 can be accurately embedded in the bayonet structure 110 .

[0152] The pressing action of the pressing block structure 104 ensures that the electrode member 504 can remain stable during the pressing process, thereby preventing the electrode member 504 from being skewed or the clamping port from being damaged due to uneven pressing force.

[0153] When the pressing block structure 104 reaches the second position, the electrode member 504 is firmly located in the bayonet structure 110, and the installation is completed. At this time, the pressing block structure 104 stops moving to ensure that the electrode member 504 is completely locked.

[0154] The movement of the pressing block structure 104 accurately controls the depth of the electrode member 504 entering the slot, ensuring that the electrode member 504 can be stably inserted without damaging the electrode member 504 or the meter battery box 500 due to excessive force.

[0155] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrode member 504 gradually enters the installation slot 502 under the push of the pressing piece 1042 and finally embeds into the bayonet structure 110. This positional relationship ensures that the electrode member 504 can be accurately aligned with the bayonet and smoothly embedded under the push of the pressing block structure 104.

[0156] The electrode member 504 cooperates with the bayonet structure 110 to achieve automatic alignment and locking during the installation process. The mechanical locking effect provided by the bayonet structure 110 keeps the electrode member 504 firmly assembled in the battery box 500 of the electric meter. After the electrode member 504 is inserted into the bayonet structure 110, the entire pressing and installation process is completed. The electrode member 504 no longer requires additional fixing measures because the bayonet structure 110 can provide sufficient fixing force to prevent the electrode member 504 from loosening.

[0157] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 3As shown, the electric meter battery box 500 is designed to include a plurality of battery compartments 506 arranged in parallel, each battery compartment 506 is used to place a battery, and mounting grooves 502 are provided at the same end or different ends of these battery compartments 506, and the batteries in the plurality of battery compartments 506 are firmly mounted in the mounting grooves 502 in the electric meter battery box 500 through the pressing assembly 100. The flexibility of the design allows the pressing block structure 104 to adapt to different battery compartment 506 configurations, thereby achieving efficient mass production and assembly.

[0158] The meter battery box 500 is provided with a plurality of parallel arranged battery compartments 506, each battery compartment 506 is used to place a battery. This design allows multiple batteries to be processed simultaneously, improving production efficiency. The parallel arrangement makes the assembly process more orderly and facilitates the operation of a robot or automated equipment.

[0159] The same end or different ends of the multiple battery compartments 506 are provided with mounting grooves 502 for fixing the batteries. If the mounting grooves 502 are provided at the same end, all the battery compartments 506 can receive the action of the pressing block at the same time during the assembly process. If the mounting grooves 502 are provided at different ends, both ends of the pressing block structure 104 are provided with pressing pieces 1042, which can press the different battery compartments 506 respectively. Under the action of the mounting grooves 502, the stability of the battery in the battery compartment 506 can be ensured, and the battery can be prevented from loosening or falling off during use.

[0160] The design of the mounting slots 502 at different ends allows the press-fit assembly 100 to flexibly adapt to different battery compartment 506 configurations, thereby increasing the versatility of the device.

[0161] A pressing piece 1042 is provided at one or both ends of the pressing block structure 104 , depending on the position of the mounting slot 502 . When the pressing block structure 104 moves toward the meter battery box 500 , the pressing piece 1042 applies uniform pressure to firmly press the battery into the mounting slot 502 .

[0162] Through the flexible design of the pressing block structure 104, it can adapt to various battery compartment 506 configurations to ensure that each battery can be effectively installed.

[0163] If both ends of the pressing block structure 104 are provided with pressing pieces 1042 , multiple battery compartments 506 can be pressed together at the same time, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0164] In the case where the mounting slot 502 is provided at the same end, the movement of the pressing block can act on all battery compartments 506 at the same time, simplifying the assembly process. The operator or mechanical equipment only needs to complete the pressing of all batteries at one time, further improving efficiency.

[0165] When the mounting slots 502 are provided at different ends, the battery compartment 506 can be flexibly handled. Both ends of the pressing block structure 104 have pressing pieces 1042, which can independently press different battery compartments 506 to adapt to different battery types or specifications, thereby increasing the application range of the device.

[0166] In some embodiments, optionally, by introducing a positioning stopper 206 and a positioning cylinder 208, the system can better ensure that the meter battery box 500 maintains the correct positioning during the transmission process to prevent displacement during the pressing operation. Specifically, the positioning stopper 206 is a component fixed next to the transmission device 204, specifically located on the third side of the transmission device 204. The position of the positioning stopper 206 is designed to contact the edge of the meter battery box 500 to limit the lateral movement of the meter battery box 500 during transportation.

[0167] The positioning stop 206 ensures that the meter battery box 500 does not deviate on the conveying device 204 and remains on a set track by providing a physical boundary.

[0168] This limiting effect can effectively prevent the position of the meter battery box 500 from being offset due to vibration or other factors before entering the pressing assembly 100, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pressing process. The positioning cylinder 208 is a pneumatic device connected to the positioning block 206. The positioning cylinder 208 is pneumatically driven to enable the positioning block 206 to reciprocate rapidly as required, so as to position the meter battery box 500 in time when it arrives.

[0169] The third direction is a direction perpendicular to the second direction (transportation direction of the electric meter battery box 500) and the first direction (vertical direction of the press-fit assembly 100), and is generally used to define the movement direction of the positioning block 206. The design of the third direction enables the positioning block 206 to achieve precise positioning without interfering with the normal transportation of the electric meter battery box 500.

[0170] Due to the perpendicular relationship between the second direction and the third direction, the movement of the positioning block 206 will not affect the transportation route of the electric meter battery box 500, which helps to maintain the smoothness of the production line.

[0171] By introducing the positioning block 206 and the positioning cylinder 208, the positioning accuracy of the meter battery box 500 of the assembly system 200 is significantly improved. The positioning block 206 effectively limits the lateral movement of the meter battery box 500, ensuring that it is accurately positioned under the press-fit assembly 100, while the positioning cylinder 208 provides dynamic positioning capabilities, allowing the system to adapt to the needs of different meter battery boxes 500. This design combines precise mechanical movement and pneumatic control, providing a more reliable solution for the automated assembly of the meter battery box 500, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0172] In some embodiments, optionally, a positioning sensor 210 is provided on the frame 202, and the assembly system 200 can realize real-time detection of the electric meter battery box 500, ensuring that each electric meter battery box 500 can reach under the pressing assembly 100 at an appropriate time. Specifically, the positioning sensor 210 is a detection device that can monitor in real time whether there is an electric meter battery box 500 on the transmission device 204, and generally adopts a photoelectric sensor, a proximity sensor or other types of sensors.

[0173] The main function of the positioning sensor 210 is to detect the presence of the meter battery box 500 and feed back the detection result to the control system to determine whether the next operation (such as pressing) can be performed. Through real-time monitoring, the positioning sensor 210 can prevent the pressing assembly 100 from performing the pressing operation without the meter battery box 500, thereby avoiding damage to the device and the electrode member 504.

[0174] The positioning sensor 210 works in conjunction with other components such as the transmission device 204, the positioning block 206, and the positioning cylinder 208 to form an automated assembly chain. The sensor is connected to the control system and can send data in real time to affect subsequent actions (such as the movement of the cylinder).

[0175] When the positioning sensor 210 detects the presence of the electric meter battery box 500 , the system can start the positioning cylinder 208 to drive the positioning block 206 for positioning so that the electric meter battery box 500 can accurately reach the bottom of the pressing assembly 100 .

[0176] If the sensor detects that the meter battery box 500 is missing, the system will automatically pause or sound an alarm to avoid unnecessary mechanical movement and reduce the risk of failure.

[0177] In some embodiments, the positioning block 206 optionally includes a first block 2062, which is a component fixed beside the transmission device 204 and is specifically used to limit the movement of the meter battery box 500 to ensure that it can be accurately positioned when entering the press-fit assembly 100. Specifically, the first block 2062 is installed on one side of the third direction of the transmission device 204, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the first stopper 2062 moves to the first limit position c, part of the stopper will be located on the second direction side of the electric meter battery box 500, forming a stable boundary to ensure that the electric meter battery box 500 will not deviate during transportation. The design of the first stopper 2062 enables the electric meter battery box 500 to be accurately aligned with the position of the pressing assembly 100, avoiding tilting or deviation caused by transportation, and ensuring that the subsequent pressing operation proceeds smoothly.

[0178] It can be understood that the first limit position c is the movable boundary of the first stopper 2062 to ensure its stability during operation. The first limit position c is set at the end of the movement track of the first stopper 2062 to ensure that the meter battery box 500 can accurately touch it when it reaches it.

[0179] When the meter battery box 500 contacts the first stopper 2062, the first stopper 2062 can effectively limit its position, ensuring that it is correctly positioned under the press-fit assembly 100. This design ensures that each meter battery box 500 is docked with the press-fit assembly 100 at the right time, improving assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0180] The introduction of the first stopper 2062 provides an effective positioning means for the assembly system 200, ensuring the stability of the electric meter battery box 500 during transportation. By setting the first limit position c, the first stopper 2062 can accurately limit the position of the electric meter battery box 500, improving the accuracy and reliability of the subsequent pressing process. This design optimizes the assembly process and helps to improve overall production efficiency.

[0181] In some embodiments, optionally, the second stopper 2064 is installed on the other side of the third direction of the transmission device 204, and cooperates with the first stopper 2062 to limit the lateral movement of the electric meter battery box 500. Figure 1 As shown, when the second stopper 2064 moves to the second limit position d, part of it will be located on one side of the meter battery box 500, and the other part will be located on the other side of the meter battery box 500, forming an effective boundary to ensure that the meter battery box 500 will not shift during transportation.

[0182] The second limit position d is the movable boundary of the second stopper 2064, ensuring its stability during operation.

[0183] The second limit position d is set at the end of the movement track of the second stopper 2064 to ensure that the meter battery box 500 can accurately contact the stopper when arriving.

[0184] When the meter battery box 500 arrives, the second stopper 2064 can effectively limit its position, so that the meter battery box 500 is accurately aligned under the press assembly 100. This limiting effect cooperates with the first stopper 2062 to ensure that the meter battery box 500 is effectively supported in both directions, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of assembly.

[0185] The design of the second stopper 2064 is combined with the first stopper 2062 to provide two-way positioning support for the assembly system 200, ensuring the stability of the electric meter battery box 500 during transportation. By setting the second limit position d, the second stopper 2064 can effectively limit the position of the electric meter battery box 500, improving the accuracy and reliability of the pressing process. This double stopper design optimizes the assembly process of the electric meter battery box 500 and improves the overall production efficiency.

[0186] In some embodiments, a blocking cylinder 212 and a blocking sensor 214 are optionally provided. The blocking cylinder 212 is an actuator that controls the position of the blocking block 2122 by the extension and contraction of the cylinder. The blocking cylinder 212 is installed on the frame 202 and is located on one side of the transmission device 204. The main function of the blocking cylinder 212 is to block and position the meter battery box 500 during the transmission process. Figure 7 As shown, when the meter battery box 500 reaches the material distribution position a, the blocking cylinder 212 extends the blocking block 2122 to prevent the meter battery box 500 from moving forward, ensuring that the meter battery box 500 stays at the material distribution position a. The action of the blocking cylinder 212 can be coordinated with the operation of the transmission device 204 to achieve accurate material distribution and positioning of the meter battery box 500, preparing for subsequent assembly operations.

[0187] By controlling the blocking cylinder 212, confusion and collision of the electric meter battery box 500 during the transmission process can be avoided, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0188] The blocking sensor 214 is a detection element used to detect whether there is an ammeter battery box 500 at the material distribution position a on the transmission device 204. The blocking sensor 214 is installed at a position corresponding to the blocking cylinder 212, and can accurately detect the object in front of the blocking block 2122. The function of the blocking sensor 214 is to monitor in real time whether there is an ammeter battery box 500 at the material distribution position a. When the sensor detects the ammeter battery box 500, it sends a signal to the control system, and the control system controls the action of the blocking cylinder 212 according to the signal.

[0189] The presence of the blocking sensor 214 ensures that the system can accurately determine the position of the electric meter battery box 500, avoids unnecessary blocking actions when there is no electric meter battery box 500, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of the system.

[0190] The blocking cylinder 212 and the blocking sensor 214 are located on one side of the transmission device 204 in the third direction and are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission device 204 .

[0191] The setting of the third direction enables the blocking cylinder 212 and the blocking sensor 214 to effectively block and detect the meter battery box 500 without interfering with the normal operation of the transmission device 204.

[0192] By controlling in the third direction, accurate material distribution and positioning of the electric meter battery box 500 can be achieved, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the electric meter battery box 500 during the transmission process.

[0193] It should be emphasized that if Figure 7 As shown, the material separation position a refers to the position where the meter battery box 500 needs to be separated and positioned during the transmission process, and the assembly position b refers to the position where the meter battery box 500 is assembled.

[0194] On the transmission device 204, the meter battery box 500 first passes through the material distribution position a and then passes through the assembly position b. The setting of the material distribution position a enables the meter battery box 500 to be orderly distributed and positioned during the transmission process, providing accurate position information for subsequent assembly operations. The determination of the assembly position b ensures that the meter battery box 500 is assembled at the correct position, ensuring the accuracy and quality of the assembly.

[0195] The reasonable layout of the material distribution position a and the assembly position b enables the entire assembly process to be carried out efficiently and accurately, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0196] The coordinated use of the blocking cylinder 212 and the blocking sensor 214 realizes the precise control and positioning of the transmission of the meter battery box 500. Through the blocking effect of the blocking cylinder 212 and the detection function of the blocking sensor 214, the system can accurately distribute the meter battery box 500 to the specified position and perform precise assembly operations at the assembly position b. This automated control method improves the efficiency and accuracy of the assembly system 200, reduces manual intervention, and ensures the quality and consistency of the assembly of the meter battery box 500. At the same time, the setting of the third direction and the reasonable layout of the distribution position a and the assembly position b make the structure of the system more compact and reasonable, and improve the overall performance of the system.

[0197] like Figure 8As shown, an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a control method including: step S102: controlling the transmission device to move along the second direction; step S104: in the case where it is determined by the positioning sensor that there is an electric meter battery box at the assembly position, controlling the positioning cylinder to extend toward the electric meter battery box along the third direction to clamp the electric meter battery box; step S106: controlling the transmission device to stop moving, and controlling the driving cylinder of the assembly system to drive the block structure to move until the pressure block structure is in the first position, the block structure is located in the electric meter battery box, and the pressure piece is against the electrode piece; step S108: controlling the driving cylinder of the assembly system to move until the pressure block structure moves to the second position toward the electric meter battery box, and the electrode piece moves into the installation groove; step S110: controlling the driving cylinder to retract, and controlling the transmission device to continue moving.

[0198] According to the control method provided in this application, the whole process is highly automated for efficient assembly of the battery box and the electrode part of the meter, ensuring that the electrode part is accurately installed in the installation slot of the battery box of the meter. Through the coordinated action of the transmission device, the positioning sensor and the cylinder, the whole assembly process is automated, reducing manual operations and improving production efficiency and accuracy.

[0199] By controlling the transmission device to move along the second direction, the transmission device is controlled to push the meter battery box to move to the material distribution position and the assembly position in sequence, ensuring that the meter battery box can reach the assembly position according to the established process and prepare for the subsequent electrode assembly. The movement process is precisely controlled by the electronic control device to ensure that each movement can reach the accurate assembly point.

[0200] The positioning sensor is used to detect whether there is a meter battery box at the assembly position to avoid the occurrence of empty assembly, ensure that the system only performs assembly operations when the meter battery box exists, prevent empty operations and equipment loss, and improve the work efficiency and safety of the system. After the sensor confirms the existence of the meter battery box, the positioning cylinder clamps the meter battery box to ensure that it is stable and motionless during the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.

[0201] Once the meter battery box reaches the assembly position, the conveyor stops moving to ensure that the assembly is carried out at the correct position to avoid assembly confusion or the meter battery box being out of the working range.

[0202] The driving cylinder controls the stopper structure and the pressing block structure to enter the first position, ensuring that the pressing block structure is accurately aligned with the mounting slot of the battery box of the electric meter and the position of the electrode component, thereby avoiding deviation or inaccurate installation of the electrode component.

[0203] The block structure enters the battery box of the electric meter, the pressing piece is aligned with the electrode piece, and is ready for pressing, and the driving cylinder is controlled to move until the pressing block structure moves to the second position toward the battery box of the electric meter, and the electrode piece is installed in the installation slot. Through appropriate pressure and precise displacement control, the electrode piece can be firmly and accurately installed in the installation slot of the battery box of the electric meter. The accuracy here directly affects the quality of the final product.

[0204] After the assembly is completed, the driving cylinder retracts to release the pressure on the meter battery box and the electrode component, preparing for the assembly of the next meter battery box while reducing damage to the electrode component and the meter battery box.

[0205] After the assembly is completed, the transmission device continues to move and pushes the next meter battery box into the assembly position. This cyclic action enables the system to work continuously, quickly and efficiently complete the assembly of multiple meter battery boxes, and improve overall production efficiency.

[0206] In general, the precise and automated assembly of the battery box and the electrode parts of the electric meter is achieved through the fine process design and the coordination of various components. The role of each process and feature is to ensure the efficiency, accuracy and safety of the assembly, especially in the key links such as positioning, pressing and movement control, which ensures the efficiency and stability of the whole process.

[0207] Furthermore, it also includes: determining that the blocking cylinder of the assembly system is in a retracted state; when the blocking sensor of the assembly system detects that there is an ammeter battery box at the material distribution position, controlling the blocking cylinder of the assembly system to switch to an extended state to block the next ammeter battery box.

[0208] In this technical solution, by cooperating with the blocking cylinder and the blocking sensor, it is ensured that only one meter battery box is moved to the assembly position at a time, thereby preventing multiple meter battery boxes from entering the assembly area at the same time and preventing equipment from being blocked or misplaced.

[0209] Before assembly begins, the system first determines that the blocking cylinder is in a retracted state, that is, the transmission of the meter battery box is not blocked at this time. During the transmission of the meter battery box, the current meter battery box can smoothly pass through the material distribution position and enter the assembly position for further operation, avoiding accidental obstruction and causing the meter battery box to stagnate or jam.

[0210] The blocking sensor detects in real time whether there is a meter battery box at the dispensing position, preventing the next meter battery box from entering the assembly position too early, thereby affecting the current assembly process. Ensure the synchronization and orderliness of the assembly process. Only when the current meter battery box has completed assembly and left the assembly position, the new meter battery box will be allowed to enter the assembly area, preventing multiple meter battery boxes from entering the assembly position at the same time, causing assembly errors or interference.

[0211] When the presence of a meter battery box is detected at the dispensing position, the blocking cylinder is controlled to switch from the retracted state to the extended state to block the movement of the next meter battery box, preventing multiple meter battery boxes from moving to the assembly position at the same time, ensuring that each assembly operation is performed on only one meter battery box, thereby maintaining the order and stability of the system. Through the control of the blocking cylinder, the meter battery boxes can wait to enter the assembly area in a predetermined order, thereby avoiding overload or failure on the transmission device.

[0212] The addition of a blocking cylinder and blocking sensor adds a layer of precise meter battery box flow control to the original conveying process. They ensure that only one meter battery box enters the assembly position when the conveyor moves in the second direction, and no other meter battery boxes enter before the assembly operation is completed.

[0213] Improve the efficiency of automated assembly: Through the reasonable regulation of the meter battery box, the problem of meter battery box conflict or accumulation during the assembly process is reduced, making the operation of the entire system smoother and more efficient.

[0214] By coordinating the blocking cylinder, blocking sensor with the original positioning sensor, transmission device and pressing system, this control method not only improves the accuracy and speed of installing the electrode parts to the meter battery box, but also prevents the misalignment and equipment failure that may be caused by multiple meter battery boxes entering the assembly area through precise control of the flow of the meter battery box, thereby improving the overall automation level, stability and assembly efficiency of the system.
