DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] Examples, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a collector with convenient position adjustment, including a mounting frame 1, a first mounting plate 2, a second mounting plate 3 and a collector body 4, characterized in that: a support plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the mounting frame 1, a middle part of one side of the outer surface of the first mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the support plate 20, a moving mechanism is installed inside the first mounting plate 2 and the second mounting plate 3, and a driving mechanism matching the moving mechanism is installed at one end of the first mounting plate 2 and the second mounting plate 3; Both ends of the mounting frame 1 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 19 , one end of each of the two connecting blocks 19 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 5 , and one side of the outer surface of each of the two connecting plates 5 is installed with a fixing mechanism.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting plate 2 and the second mounting plate 3 are each provided with a mounting cavity 22 inside, and one side of the outer surface of the first mounting plate 2 and the second mounting plate 3 is respectively provided with a slide groove 16 that penetrates the corresponding mounting cavity 22.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, the moving mechanism includes a ball screw 14 rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting cavity 22, one end of the ball screw 14 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 10, and one side of the outer surface of the first bevel gear 10 is rotatably connected to the other side wall of the mounting cavity 22, the outer surface of the ball screw 14 is sleeved with a threaded connection with a slide rod 15, one end of the slide rod 15 extends through and extends to the outside of the mounting cavity 22 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding slide groove 16, the first bevel gear 10 and the ball screw 14 rotate synchronously, and the rotation of the ball screw 14 can drive the slide rod 15 to slide along the slide groove 16, thereby changing the position of the slide rod 15 relative to the slide groove 16.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a micro servo motor 13, and the micro servo motors 13 of the two driving mechanisms are respectively fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of the corresponding first mounting plate 2 and the second mounting plate 3, and the output shafts of the two micro servo motors 13 extend through the inside of the corresponding mounting cavity 22 and are fixedly connected with the transmission shaft 12, and one end of the two transmission shafts 12 is fixedly connected with the second bevel gear 11, and one side of the outer surface of the two second bevel gears 11 is respectively meshed with the outer surface of the corresponding first bevel gear 10, and the operation of the micro servo motor 13 can drive the transmission shaft 12 connected to its output shaft to rotate, and then drive the first bevel gear 10 to rotate through the rotation of the second bevel gear 11, so that the ball screw 14 rotates to drive the slide rod 15 of the above-mentioned moving mechanism to slide; Furthermore, one end of the slide rod 15 of a single driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 17, one end of the first connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the second mounting plate 3, and one end of the slide rod 15 of the other driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 18, one end of the second connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the back side of the collector body 4, that is, the driving mechanism inside the first mounting plate 2 can drive the movement of the first connecting rod 17, thereby changing the lateral position of the second mounting plate 3, and correspondingly, the driving mechanism inside the second mounting plate 3 can drive the movement of the second connecting rod 18, thereby changing the longitudinal position (referring to the longitudinal position in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the first mounting plate 2) of the collector body 4, thereby realizing any change in the relative position of the collector body 4 with the electric meter in a plane parallel to the electric meter.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the fixing mechanism includes a mounting support 6 fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the connecting plate 5, the outer surface of the mounting support 6 is hinged with a metal sheet 7, one end of the metal sheet 7 is fixedly installed with an electric push rod 8, the output end of the electric push rod 8 is hinged with a limit plate 9, the electric push rod 8 and the mounting support 6 are hinged through the metal sheet 7, and the output end of the electric push rod 8 is also hinged with the limit plate 9. When the fixing mechanism is installed in actual application, the electric push rod 8 is started, and the extension and contraction of its output end drives the displacement of the limit plate 9, so that the limit plate 9 can be pressed against the side wall of the meter box, and the two fixing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged, so that they can symmetrically press against the two side walls of the meter box to fix the mounting frame 1 to the meter box.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the limit plate 9 includes a stop plate 901, a rubber plate 902 and a plurality of anti-skid patterns 903. One side of the outer surface of the stop plate 901 is hinged to the output end of the electric push rod 8, and the other side of the outer surface of the stop plate 901 is fixedly connected to the rubber plate 902, and the plurality of anti-skid patterns 903 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rubber plate 902. The material of the rubber plate 902 itself determines that it has a certain anti-skid ability. At the same time, the anti-skid patterns 903 further enhance the anti-skid ability of the entire limit plate 9. When the limit plate 9 is abutted against the side wall of the meter box by the thrust of the electric push rod 8, the rubber plate 902 and the anti-skid patterns 903 can greatly reduce the probability of slipping of the limit plate 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the mounting frame 1 and the collector body 4.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, mounting holes 21 are provided around one side of the outer surface of the mounting support 6, and the inner walls of several mounting holes 21 are threadedly connected with bolts, and the mounting support 6 and the connecting plate 5 are fixed by the bolts passing through the mounting holes 21 and directly screwing into the connecting plate 5.

[0028] Working principle: First, open the meter box where the collector body 4 needs to be installed. The staff first determines a preliminary position and starts the electric push rod 8. After the electric push rod 8 is started, the expansion and contraction of its output end drives the displacement of the limit plate 9, so that the limit plate 9 can be pressed against the side wall of the meter box, and the rubber plate 902 and the anti-slip pattern 903 can greatly reduce the probability of the limit plate 9 slipping, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the mounting frame 1 and the collector body 4. The two fixing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged, so that they can symmetrically press against the two side walls of the meter box to fix the mounting frame 1 to the meter box. There is no need to disassemble and modify the user's meter. After installation, disassembly will not damage the reserved screw holes or cause damage to the meter. Moreover, the collector body 4 has the ability to be tried out. If an error occurs during installation and needs to be reinstalled, the operation is relatively simple and the fault tolerance rate is high. Furthermore, the distance of the collector body 4 relative to the meter can also be changed by changing the position of the fixing mechanism relative to the meter box. Subsequently, after determining the distance between the collector body 4 and the electric meter, the position of the collector body 4 can be adjusted. Specifically, the operation of the micro servo motor 13 can drive the transmission shaft 12 connected to its output shaft to rotate, and then drive the first bevel gear 10 to rotate through the rotation of the second bevel gear 11, so that the ball screw 14 rotates to drive the slide bar 15 of the above-mentioned moving mechanism to slide, and the driving mechanism inside the first mounting plate 2 can drive the movement of the first connecting rod 17, so that the lateral position of the second mounting plate 3 can be changed. Correspondingly, the driving mechanism inside the second mounting plate 3 can drive the movement of the second connecting rod 18, so that the longitudinal position of the collector body 4 (referring to the longitudinal direction in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the first mounting plate 2) can be changed, so that the collector body 4 can be arbitrarily changed in its relative position in a plane parallel to the electric meter, so that the collector body can be in a more ideal working position, which greatly improves the operation quality and use efficiency compared with traditional devices.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
