[0002] As an indispensable part of the power system, the meter box is designed to accommodate and protect power measuring instruments and related equipment, and is commonly found in various buildings and power supply networks. It is not only responsible for monitoring power consumption, but also accurately measures key parameters such as current, voltage and power, which plays a vital role in the effective management and accurate measurement of power resources.
[0003] In the related technology, in the existing technical practice, the assembly process of the meter box often relies on carefully selected materials, especially metal materials with excellent conductivity and durability such as steel plates or aluminum alloy plates. The preparation work should not be neglected either, and all kinds of tools and materials including screws, nuts, and pliers should be assembled to ensure the smooth progress of the assembly process. Subsequently, professionals will accurately place the core components such as the meter, circuit breaker, and power connector in the box. Each step must ensure accurate positioning and stable connection. At the same time, the installation specifications and standards of electrical equipment must be strictly followed, and standardized tools must be used for refined line connections.
[0004] However, this seemingly rigorous assembly process hides an efficiency bottleneck that cannot be ignored: the wide variety of tools and materials required for assembly, especially the different sizes and models of fasteners such as screws and nuts, leads to the fact that in actual operation, workers often need to spend a lot of time looking for and matching suitable parts and tools. This process not only prolongs the overall assembly cycle, but also invisibly increases the risk of error, thus affecting the overall efficiency and quality of meter box assembly, and there is room for improvement.

A placement groove 143 is provided on the blocking rod 14 for the compression spring 41 and the arc-shaped protrusion 42 to be placed. The compression spring 41 squeezes the arc-shaped protrusion 42 so that a part of the arc-shaped protrusion 42 protrudes out of the placement groove 143, and the protruding part of the arc-shaped protrusion 42 is an arc surface, and the arc length corresponding to the arc surface is a minor arc. A positioning groove 161 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating groove 16 for the arc-shaped protrusion 42 to be protruding and distributed and inserted.

[0042] When the two blocking rods 14 rotate to the top of the processing table 1 and are in a state parallel to each other, the collecting through hole 17 is located between the two blocking rods 14. This arrangement facilitates the cleaning of impurities between the blocking rods 14 on the processing table 1 along the guide slope 171 to the collecting chamber 312 (see Figure 3 )Inside.
[0043] The cleaning cotton 144 abuts against the upper side of the processing table 1 as the blocking rod 14 rotates, so that the cleaning cotton 144 can be used to clean the impurities on the upper surface of the processing table 1, so that the impurities between the two blocking rods 14 can be collected into the collection cavity 312 in the storage box 31 through the collection through hole 17 (see Figure 3 )Inside.

During this process, the scraper 52 abuts against the upper side of the processing table 1, and then the impurities are collected into the collection cavity 312 in the storage box 31 through the collection through hole 17 (see Figure 3 )Inside.
[0045] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is: When feeding, the two blocking rods 14 are first driven to rotate by the power source 15 to limit the box cover transported to the processing table 1; then the driving electric cylinder 25 is started to drive the push plate 24 to move, so that the box cover passes through the limiting notch 131 and moves to the processing table 1; During assembly, the staff can place the corresponding tools or screws in the corresponding storage cavity 311, and can pull out the storage box 31 and take out the tools or screws in the storage cavity 311; after assembly, the assembled workpiece is removed from between the two blocking rods 14, and the workpiece is transported to the next processing step through the conveyor belt 11; Then, the impurities between the two blocking rods 14 are cleaned, and the adjustment protrusions 51 on the adjustment rod 5 are placed in the corresponding adjustment grooves 145 respectively. The staff applies force to the adjustment rod 5 to make the adjustment rod 5 slide along the length direction of the adjustment groove 145. During this process, the scraper 52 abuts against the upper side of the processing table 1, and then the impurities are collected into the collection chamber 312 in the storage box 31 through the collection hole 17.
