Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of meter parameter adjustment, and relates to an integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the current era of actively building a new power system, with the deepening of energy transformation and the continuous increase in the proportion of renewable energy, the number of users of peak-valley electricity prices as an effective demand-side management measure is experiencing unprecedented rapid growth. This trend not only reflects the market's positive response to the flexible electricity price mechanism, but also poses new challenges to the operation management and technical support system of the power system. In particular, in order to more accurately match the changes in supply and demand, the introduction of peak load periods has further aggravated the complexity of power system operation. This change directly led to a sharp increase in the amount of tasks for key tasks such as parameter upgrades, time period adjustments, and time corrections of electricity meters. The original working mode and process became increasingly cumbersome and inefficient, and it was difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing market needs.

[0003] Specifically, the existing parameter adjustment methods not only have many steps, but are also prone to delays during execution, which directly affects the timeliness of the implementation of electricity price policies, greatly reducing the role of electricity price levers in regulating user electricity consumption behavior and optimizing resource allocation. At the same time, the lack of real-time data collection also limits the power grid's ability to respond quickly to load changes, affecting the flexible interaction between the load side and the power grid, and thus affecting the stability and economy of the entire power system.

[0004] With the increasing frequency of parameter adjustment and the number of meters that need parameter adjustment, front-line workers are facing unprecedented work pressure. The traditional power connection mode, that is, manual operation of each meter and each phase, from unscrewing the screws, connecting the shark clamps, operating the power switch to the final infrared setting, the whole process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also very easy to fail due to improper operation or external interference (such as alignment angle deviation), thus causing delays in the transmission of electricity price signals, which seriously affects the effective operation of the electricity price mechanism.

[0005] At present, there is no mature equipment or technology on the market that can effectively solve this problem. In the power connection process, workers still need to rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also poses safety risks. Especially in the infrared setting process, the alignment of the handheld device with the infrared interface and the process of waiting for the setting to be completed place extremely high demands on the operator's patience and concentration. Once there is a slight negligence, it may lead to the failure of the entire parameter adjustment process, which in turn affects the subsequent electricity price execution and data collection work.

[0006] In summary, the traditional method has exposed live metal, which poses a safety risk; the operation steps are cumbersome, and the parameter adjustment efficiency is low. It is urgent to develop a new method of connecting the power meter to adjust the parameters in a safe, fast and efficient way. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter and a method of using the same, so as to solve the technical problems of the prior art that the parameter adjustment operation is cumbersome, inefficient and has safety risks.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention provides an integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter, comprising a main body; the main body is used to fix the meter; a handheld device holder is installed on the upper surface of the main body; one end of the main body is connected to a shell; a contact is arranged in the shell; and the contact is connected to a power supply.

[0009] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the other end of the main body away from the shell. Furthermore, the baffle is connected to the main body via a retractable elastic member.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic member is a spring.

[0011] Furthermore, the contact includes a first contact and a second contact; the first contact and the second contact are used to connect to a meter terminal.

[0012] Furthermore, the first contact and the second contact are both thin tube-shaped metal contacts.

[0013] Furthermore, the shell is an insulating shell.

[0014] Furthermore, the contact and the power supply are connected via a conductive connecting line.

[0015] Furthermore, the power supply is a mobile power supply.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for using the above-mentioned integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter, comprising the following steps: Stretch the elastic piece, place the meter between the housing and the baffle, align the contact with the meter terminal and insert it, loosen the elastic piece, and fix the meter; Turn on the power supply, complete the infrared settings through the handheld on the handheld bracket, and then adjust the parameters.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention discloses an integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter and a method for using the same. When in use, the meter is fixed on a main body, a shell is provided on one side of the main body, and contacts are installed in the shell. The meter can be operated in a powered state with the switch on, which simplifies the power connection link. In this way, the three traditional steps of "screwing, clamping terminals, and closing switches" are simplified to a very short step of "plugging". At the same time, the handheld infrared alignment link is simplified. The handheld is fixed by a handheld bracket, and the infrared alignment is successful once, without the need for subsequent manual holding. The problems of cumbersome meter parameter adjustment operation and low safety are solved, and a new parameter adjustment mode of "plug and play, one-click access" is realized. Compared with traditional power connection devices, the device adopts an integrated design, and the operating radius of the meter installation and power connection personnel is reduced from 2m to 0.5m, the personnel's activity range is reduced, and the parameter adjustment operation time is shortened from 306 seconds to 186 seconds, which improves the overall meter installation and power connection efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the present invention uses an insulating shell to seal and isolate the live parts, which can effectively isolate the live metal parts of the meter from the human body. In particular, when there is an exposed metal part at the end of the meter, this insulation design is particularly important because it can fundamentally prevent the risk of electric shock caused by accidental touch or improper operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the present invention stably clamps the meter on the workbench through the spring and the baffle, and the meter terminal and the contact are in stable contact, and there will be no virtual connection or power interruption. This method ensures that the meter is firmly fixed on the workbench. This design not only avoids errors caused by shaking or displacement of the meter during the parameter adjustment process, but also reduces the potential safety hazards caused by improper manual operation, and improves the stability and safety of the operation.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "inner", etc. indicate an orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when in use, it is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In addition, if the term "horizontal" appears, it does not mean that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", which does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: See also Figure 1The embodiment of the present invention discloses an integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter, including a main body 7; the main body 7 is a rectangular structure, used to fix the meter; a handheld device bracket 5 is installed on the upper surface of the main body 7, and the handheld device bracket 5 is used to replace the manual fixation of the handheld device. When adjusting the parameters, it is only necessary to insert the handheld device into the handheld device bracket 5, and there is no need to manually align the infrared port. The parameters can be adjusted by holding it for a long time; one end of the main body 7 is connected to the shell 1; a metal contact 2 is arranged in the shell 1; the contact 2 is connected to a power supply 4.

[0030] It should be noted that the main body 7 of this embodiment is a rectangular structure specifically used to fix the meter, so that the meter positioning during the parameter adjustment process is more stable, and the parameter adjustment error caused by the shaking or displacement of the meter is avoided. At the same time, the connection between the metal contact 2 set in the shell 1 and the power supply 4 provides a convenient power supply access method for the meter, without the need to manually unscrew the screws phase by phase, connect the power supply, etc., further simplifying the parameter adjustment process and reducing the potential safety hazards caused by improper manual operation. And by designing the handheld device holder 5 on the main body 7, the present invention effectively replaces the traditional operation method of manually holding the handheld device for a long time and aligning it with the infrared port. When adjusting the parameters, the staff only needs to simply insert the handheld device into the handheld device holder 5 to achieve stable fixation, and there is no need to worry about the failure of parameter adjustment caused by long-term holding or alignment angle deviation. This not only greatly reduces the labor intensity of the staff, but also significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the parameter adjustment work.

[0031] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the other end of the main body 7 away from the housing 1 is fixedly connected with a baffle 8. The baffle 8 is connected to the main body 7 through a retractable elastic member 6. The elastic member 6 is preferably, but not limited to, a spring, which is normally in a contracted state. When the meter is clamped on the workbench, the spring stretches to provide tension to fix the meter.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by providing an elastic member 6, the baffle 8 can be appropriately adjusted according to the size and shape of the meter, thereby ensuring that the meter is firmly clamped on the workbench. The elastic member 6 is preferably a spring in this embodiment, but the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to springs, and any elastic element that can provide similar telescopic functions and tension can be adopted. The spring is usually in a contracted state in this design, which means that when no meter is clamped on the workbench, the tension of the spring is in a state of readiness. Once the meter is placed on the main body 7 and contacted by the baffle 8, the spring will immediately extend, and the tension provided by it will be used to fix the meter tightly on the workbench. This design not only ensures the stability of the meter during the parameter adjustment process, but also effectively prevents the parameter adjustment error caused by the shaking or displacement of the meter.

[0033] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the contact 2 in the housing 1 includes a first contact 21 and a second contact 22; the first contact 21 and the second contact 22 are used to connect the meter terminals. The first contact 21 and the second contact 22 are both thin tubular metal contacts, replacing the traditional alligator clips. The length of the contact 2 and the fixed position with the housing 1 are calculated and solidified according to the meter terminal position and the size of the housing 1. The meter can be powered on by inserting the most accurate contact without additional adjustment or verification. The housing 1 is an insulating housing, and the insulating housing is made of an integrated insulating material to isolate the live metal parts of the meter from the human body (there is exposed metal at the end of the meter), preventing the risk of electric shock.

[0034] It should be noted that this embodiment uses thin tube-shaped metal contacts as the material and shape of the first contact 21 and the second contact 22. This design not only makes the contact between the contact and the meter terminal more compact and stable, but also reduces the problems of poor electrical connection or short circuit caused by improper clamping of the alligator clip.

[0035] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the contact 2 and the power supply 4 are connected by a conductive connecting line 3 to supply power to the contact 2. The power supply 4 is preferably a mobile power supply that can be carried outdoors for use. The mobile power supply not only has the advantages of small size, light weight, and easy to carry, but also has the characteristics of convenient charging and flexible use, so that the entire parameter adjustment workbench is no longer limited to the indoor environment, but can be easily carried outdoors for operation. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the staff, the housing 1 is designed as an insulating housing. This insulator housing is made of an integrated insulating material, which can effectively isolate the charged metal parts of the meter from the human body. Especially when there is an exposed metal part at the end of the meter, this insulation design is particularly important because it can fundamentally prevent the risk of electric shock caused by accidental touch or improper operation.

[0036] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for using the above-mentioned integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter, comprising the following steps: Step 1, stretch the elastic member 6, place the meter between the housing 1 and the baffle 8, and insert the contact 2 into the meter terminal, loosen the elastic member 6, and fix the meter; Step 2, turn on the power supply 4, complete the infrared setting through the handheld device on the handheld device holder 5, and then adjust the parameters.

[0037] It should be noted that the method of this embodiment greatly simplifies the operational process of meter parameter adjustment through clear and concise steps. The staff only needs to simply stretch the elastic part 6, place the meter between the housing 1 and the baffle 8, and fix the meter by plugging the contact 2 with the meter terminal and loosening the elastic part 6 to quickly enter the parameter adjustment preparation stage. In this process, there is no need to perform complicated operations such as tightening screws and connecting power, which significantly saves time and improves work efficiency. The handheld device is fixed by the handheld device holder 5, and the infrared setting and parameter adjustment work is completed with the help of the handheld device. This method effectively avoids the errors caused by manually holding the handheld device and aligning it with the infrared port in the traditional method. The design of the handheld device holder 5 enables the handheld device to be stably fixed in a predetermined position without the need to hold it for a long time, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the parameter adjustment.

[0038] Example: The embodiment of the present invention discloses an integrated parameter adjustment workbench for a meter, comprising a housing 1, a first contact 21, a second contact 22, a conductive connecting line 3, a power supply 4, a handheld device holder 5, an elastic member 6, a main body 7 and a baffle 8. The main body 7 is a rectangular structure with a length of 260 mm and a width of 170 mm; a baffle 8 is arranged at one end of the main body 7, and the baffle 8 and the main body 7 are connected by two springs, and the two spring connections are respectively located on the two long sides of the main body 7; the axial direction of the spring is located on the same straight line as the long side of the main body 7. A handheld device holder 5 is also arranged on the surface of the main body 7, and the handheld device holder 5 is used to install the handheld device, and the straight-line distance between the handheld device holder 5 and the baffle is 80 mm. The two sides of the main body 7 are connected to the insulator housing 1; a metal contact 2 is arranged in the housing 1, including a first contact 21 and a second contact 22; two fixed thin tube-shaped metal contacts replace the traditional alligator clips, and the length of the contact and the fixed position of the housing are calculated and solidified according to the terminal position of the meter and the size of the housing, and the meter can be powered on by inserting the most accurate contact. The distance between the first contact 21 and the second contact 22 is 60 mm. It should be noted that the meter in the embodiment of the present invention refers to an electric energy meter, and can also be applied to other meters. According to the different structure and size of the meter, the specific parameters of the integrated parameter adjustment workbench are also different.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the device of this embodiment has the following advantages: 1) Safety: The live parts of the device are fully enclosed to minimize safety risks.

[0040] 2) High efficiency: Compared with traditional power connection devices, this device adopts an integrated design. The operating radius of the meter installation and power connection personnel is reduced from 2m to 0.5m, the personnel's activity range is reduced, and the parameter adjustment operation time is shortened from 306 seconds to 186 seconds, which improves the overall efficiency of meter installation and power connection.

[0041] 3) Operability: The device is easy to operate, not prone to errors, and has a high accuracy rate in power connection.

[0042] 4) Reliability: The spring clamps the meter stably on the workbench, and the meter terminals and contacts are in stable contact without false connection or power supply interruption.

[0043] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: The main body of the workbench of the present invention is used to fix the meter to ensure that the meter remains stable during the parameter adjustment process. A handheld device bracket is installed on the upper surface of the main body, and the bracket provides a stable support platform for the handheld device, which is convenient for the staff to use the handheld device to perform infrared settings and parameter adjustment operations. One end of the main body is connected to the shell, and a contact is arranged inside the shell. The contact is a key component for connecting the meter terminal and the power supply. The contact includes a first contact and a second contact, both of which are thin tube-type metal contacts. This design makes the contact between the contact and the meter terminal closer, which helps to reduce faults in electrical connections. In order to fix the meter, the other end of the main body is connected to the baffle through a retractable elastic member. The elastic member plays a key role here, allowing the staff to adjust the position of the baffle according to the size and shape of the meter, thereby ensuring that the meter is firmly clamped between the shell and the baffle. In addition, the elastic member is preferably a spring, because the spring has good elasticity and recovery, which can ensure that the baffle can still maintain a stable clamping force after long-term use. The shell is designed as an insulating shell, which is to isolate the charged metal parts of the meter from the human body and prevent the staff from electric shock during operation. This design greatly enhances the safety of the workbench. The contacts are connected to the power supply through a conductive connection line. The power supply is preferably a mobile power supply, which enables the workbench to be easily used in an outdoor environment without having to find a fixed power socket.

[0044] When using it, the staff first stretches the elastic part and places the meter between the housing and the baffle. At the same time, the contact is aligned with the meter terminal and inserted to ensure a good electrical connection. Then, the elastic part is released, and the meter is firmly fixed on the workbench. Next, the staff turns on the power supply, completes the infrared setting through the handheld device on the handheld device bracket, and finally performs the parameter adjustment operation. The entire workflow is simple and clear, which not only improves work efficiency but also ensures the safety of operation.

[0045] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
