Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metering terminal detection, and particularly relates to a detection platform for a metering terminal and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A metering terminal is a device used to measure the consumption of energy. It is an important part of the metering system and is usually installed at the energy usage site for real-time monitoring and recording of energy usage. A metering terminal generally consists of sensors, metering chips, communication modules, etc. It can accurately measure the flow or usage of energy, convert it into a digital signal, and then transmit the data to the relevant system through the communication module. Metering terminals are widely used in various fields. In the fields of residential electricity, commercial electricity, industrial electricity, etc., metering terminals are used for accurate metering and settlement of electric energy; in the fields of water supply, heating, gas, etc., metering terminals are used for monitoring and controlling energy usage. In addition, with the development of intelligence, metering terminals also play an important role in the fields of smart homes, smart cities, etc.

[0003] For the fault conditions of metering terminals, they can generally be divided into abnormal communication between the terminal and the master station or terminal faults. During the maintenance and inspection process, it is necessary to judge the abnormal working conditions inside the terminal, including wire damage, abnormal screen display, power circuit damage, terminal freezing, etc. Since the metering terminal itself has many constituent modules and the electrical circuits are prone to interfere with each other, the conventional platform's manual flipping inspection method has problems such as time-consuming and missed inspections.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a detection platform for a metering terminal and an operation method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects existing in the prior art. The present invention proposes a detection platform for a metering terminal and an operation method thereof, which can realize the hollow fixed flipping of the metering terminal and synchronously perform secondary angle position adjustment, facilitating the observation and maintenance of internal modules at different angles.

[0006] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A detection platform for a metering terminal, comprising:

[0007] An outer frame, with a support frame vertically fixed along its height direction, and the support frame includes two and is arranged opposite to each other with the center of the outer frame as the reference;

[0008] A co-location frame, located at the center of the top of the outer frame, and a lifting cylinder is fixed at the bottom of the outer frame corresponding to the co-location frame to support the co-location frame;

[0009] The rotating assembly is fixed on the support frame and includes a first driving member and a rotating link. The rotating link is arranged on the two support frames and is driven to rotate by the first driving member.

[0010] The clamping assembly includes two and is relatively arranged inside the two ends of the rotating link. Each clamping assembly includes a second driving member and a clamping table. One end of the clamping table protrudes with a positioning pin to fixedly connect the outer side of the bottom of the same-position frame, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second driving member. The second driving member is used to make the clamping tables in the two clamping assemblies approach or move away from each other relatively.

[0011] The secondary camber assembly is fixed on the same-position frame and includes a third driving member and a camber frame. One end of the camber frame is hinged to the same-position frame, and the other end is connected by the third driving member. The third driving member is hinged on the same-position frame, and the output end thereof is hinged to the camber frame. The side of the camber frame close to the same-position frame is a solid surface and is fixed with a connecting angle steel, and the other surfaces are hollow surfaces. The connecting angle steel is equidistantly provided with positioning holes to fix an external metering terminal.

[0012] Further, the rotating link is of a U-shaped frame structure and includes a cross bar, a linkage rod and a reinforcing plate. The cross bar is horizontally arranged outside the support frame. The linkage rod includes two and is respectively arranged at both ends of the cross bar and is fixedly welded by the reinforcing plate. Each linkage rod is provided with a connection hole at one end corresponding to connecting the first driving member, and a support plate is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the same end to connect the second driving member.

[0013] Further, the first driving member includes a rotating cylinder, a turntable, a bearing table and a connecting block. The turntable and the bearing table are respectively rotatably connected to the tops of the two support frames. The rotating cylinder is fixed to one of the support frames, and its output end is coaxially fixed to the center of the turntable. The top surface of the turntable is fixedly connected to the linkage rod through the connection hole, and the bearing table is fixedly connected to the linkage rod through the connecting block.

[0014] Further, the second driving member includes a clamping cylinder, a chute and a slider. The clamping cylinder is bolted to the support plate, its top is fixed to the chute, the bottom of the slider is slidably connected to the chute, its end extends downward and is fixed to the output end of the clamping cylinder, and the clamping table is bolted to one end of the downward extension of the slider.

[0015] Further, there are two of the third driving members, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the same-position frame. Each third driving member includes a first hinge seat, a second hinge seat, an electric push rod, a turning shaft, and a heightening platform. The bottom of the electric push rod is hinged to the same-position frame through the first hinge seat, and the output end of its top is hinged to the top of the outward-tilting frame through the second hinge seat. A rotating table is fixed to the top of the heightening platform. One end of the bottom of the outward-tilting frame away from the first hinge seat is fixed to the turning shaft, and the turning shaft is coaxially fixed to the rotating table.

[0016] Further, the height of the heightening platform corresponds to the height of the hinge seat to ensure that when the electric push rod does not output, the bottom surface of the outward-tilting frame is flush with the top surface of the same-position frame.

[0017] Further, a plurality of limiting frames are fixed to the outside of the outer frame corresponding to the rotating assembly. A limiting sensor is fixed to the top of each limiting frame to limit the rotation process of the rotating link.

[0018] Further, the rotating link is arranged at an interval from the outward-tilting frame, and one end of the outward-tilting opening of the outward-tilting frame is on the same side as the rotating link.

[0019] Further, the outward-tilting angle of the outward-tilting frame is not less than 45°.

[0020] According to the operation method of a detection platform for a metering terminal described above, the following steps are included:

[0021] S1. The metering terminal is connected and fixed to the same-position frame through a connecting angle steel, and is supported by the lifting cylinder at the same time. After the lifting cylinder is lifted to the servo position corresponding to the height of the clamping cylinder, the clamping cylinder starts to operate, drives the clamping table to move relatively closer, and is clamped and fixed by inserting a positioning pin into the same-position frame;

[0022] S2. The operator starts to repair the metering terminal, and at the same time cooperates with the rotation of the hollow surface of the outward-tilting frame and the rotating cylinder to realize multi-angle observation and repair;

[0023] S3. After the rotation angle of the metering terminal reaches the maximum limit corresponding to the limit sensor, the outward-tilting frame is driven to swing by the electric push rod to realize the secondary outward tilt of the outward-tilting frame based on the turning shaft at its bottom, which is convenient for personnel to repair.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: through the lifting cylinder, the clamping assembly, and the rotating assembly, the clamping and fixing and flipping operations of the same-position frame can be realized. At the same time, by setting an outward-tilting frame that can be secondarily outward-tilted on the same-position frame, multi-angle observation and repair of the metering terminal can be realized in cooperation. After the metering terminal is fixed, it can be adjusted at multiple angles and repaired in cooperation with multiple hollow surfaces, avoiding the time-consuming and laborious problems brought by the conventional manual flipping and repairing method.

Detailed Embodiments

[0031] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essence of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can propose various interchangeable structural forms and implementation manners. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and the accompanying drawings are only illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be regarded as the whole of the present invention or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the present invention.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention in combination with Figures 1-4 shown.

[0033] As Figure 1As shown, for the overall structure, in this embodiment, a detection platform for a metering terminal includes:

[0034] An outer frame 1, on which a support frame 2 is vertically fixed along its height direction. The support frame 2 includes two parts and is arranged relatively with respect to the center of the outer frame 1.

[0035] A coaxial frame 3 is located at the center of the top of the outer frame 1. At the bottom corresponding to the coaxial frame 3, a lifting cylinder 4 is fixed to support the coaxial frame 3.

[0036] A rotating assembly 5 is fixed on the support frame 2. It includes a first driving member 6 and a rotating connecting rod 7. The rotating connecting rod 7 is arranged on the two support frames 2 and is driven to rotate by the first driving member 6.

[0037] A clamping assembly 8 includes two parts and is relatively arranged on the inner sides of both ends of the rotating connecting rod 7. Each clamping assembly 8 includes a second driving member 9 and a clamping table 11. One end of the clamping table 11 protrudes with a positioning pin 10 to fixedly connect the outer side of the bottom of the coaxial frame 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second driving member 9. The second driving member 9 is used to make the clamping tables 11 in the two clamping assemblies 8 approach or move away from each other relatively.

[0038] A secondary outward inclination assembly 12 is fixed on the coaxial frame 3. It includes a third driving member 13 and an outward inclination frame 14. One end of the outward inclination frame 14 is hinged to the coaxial frame 3, and the other end is connected by the third driving member 13. The third driving member 13 is hinged on the coaxial frame 3, and its output end is hinged to the outward inclination frame 14. The side of the outward inclination frame 14 close to the coaxial frame 3 is a solid surface and is fixed with a connecting angle steel 15, and the other surfaces are hollow surfaces. A plurality of positioning holes 16 are equidistantly arranged on the connecting angle steel 15 to fix an external metering terminal.

[0039] According to the above structural description, in order to facilitate the maintenance of the metering terminal and considering the various inclination angles required in the actual maintenance process, in this application, the metering terminal is first installed in an outward inclination frame 14 with four hollow surfaces by means of fixing with angle steel. The outward inclination frame 14 is synchronously placed in the coaxial frame 3 and together placed on the top of the lifting cylinder 4, and the lifting cylinder 4 is used to support and lift the metering terminal. After lifting to the height servo position required by the clamping assembly 8, the output is stopped. Then, the second driving member 9 in the clamping assembly 8 drives the two clamping tables 11 to approach or move away from each other relatively, so that the positioning pins 10 on the surfaces of the clamping tables 11 are embedded in the coaxial frame 3 for fixation, indirectly realizing the clamping and positioning of the metering terminal.

[0040] Then, during actual maintenance, the entire coaxial frame 3 can be angularly flipped by the rotating assembly 5 to achieve the angles required for the maintenance of different electrical modules inside the metering terminal, which is convenient and reliable. Finally, in order to cope with the deflection angles that cannot be achieved by some conventional turntables 23, the present application also separately designs a secondary tilting assembly 12 for the tilting frame 14 to achieve the adjustment of the secondary tilting angle of the tilting frame 14 and the metering terminal inside it, with more variable maintenance angles and a simpler maintenance process.

[0041] For the selection of each driving structure, there can actually be various types, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first driving member 6 includes a rotary cylinder 22, a turntable 23, a bearing platform 24, and a connecting block 25. The turntable 23 and the bearing platform 24 are respectively rotatably connected to the tops of the two support frames 2. The rotary cylinder 22 is fixed to one of the support frames 2, and its output end is coaxially fixed to the center of the turntable 23. The top surface of the turntable 23 is fixedly connected to the linkage rod 18 through a connection hole 20. The bearing platform 24 is fixedly connected to the linkage rod 18 through the connecting block 25.

[0042] Correspondingly, for the synchronous operation of the two rotary cylinders 22, it depends on the rotary link 7. In this embodiment, the rotary link 7 is of a U-shaped frame structure, which includes a cross bar 17, a linkage rod 18, and a reinforcing plate 19. The cross bar 17 is horizontally arranged outside the support frame 2. The linkage rod 18 includes two and is respectively arranged at both ends of the cross bar 17 and fixedly welded through the reinforcing plate 19. Each linkage rod 18 is provided with a connection hole 20 at one end corresponding to connecting the first driving member 6, and a support plate 21 is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the same end to connect the second driving member 9.

[0043] The second driving member 9 includes a clamping cylinder 26, a sliding groove 27, and a sliding block 28. The clamping cylinder 26 is bolted to the support plate 21, its top is fixed to the sliding groove 27, the bottom of the sliding block 28 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 27, its end extends downward and is fixed to the output end of the clamping cylinder 26, and the clamping table 11 is bolted to the downward extending end of the sliding block 28. After the clamping cylinder 26 outputs, the sliding block 28 can be linearly displaced horizontally under the limitation of the sliding groove 27, and finally the relative separation or approach of the two clamping plates is achieved.

[0044] The third driving members 13 include two, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the same-position frame 3. Each of the third driving members 13 includes a first hinge seat 29, a second hinge seat 30, an electric push rod 31, a turning shaft 32 and a heightening platform 33. The bottom of the electric push rod 31 is hinged to the same-position frame 3 through the first hinge seat 29, and the output end of its top is hinged to the top of the outward-tilting frame 14 through the second hinge seat 30. A rotating platform 34 is fixed to the top of the heightening platform 33. One end of the bottom of the outward-tilting frame 14 away from the first hinge seat 29 is fixed to the turning shaft 32, and the turning shaft 32 is coaxially fixed to the rotating platform 34.

[0045] After the electric push rod 31 outputs, due to the hinging operations of the first hinge seat 29 and the second hinge seat 30, and the limitation of the turning shaft 32 within the rotating platform 34, the entire outward-tilting frame 14 can tilt outward at a certain angle with the turning shaft 32 as the axis, realizing secondary angle adjustment. During actual operation, the outward-tilting angle can be designed to be 60°.

[0046] Further, for other design requirements of the platform, the height of the heightening platform 33 corresponds to the height of the hinge seat to ensure that when the electric push rod 31 does not output, the bottom surface of the outward-tilting frame 14 is flush with the top surface of the same-position frame 3. A plurality of limiting frames 35 are further fixed to the outside of the outer frame 1 corresponding to the rotating assembly 5, and a limiting sensor 36 is fixed to the top of each limiting frame 35 to limit the rotation process of the rotating link 7. The rotating link 7 and the outward-tilting frame 14 are arranged at intervals, and one end of the outward-tilting opening of the outward-tilting frame 14 is on the same side as the rotating link 7. Ensure that the two do not interfere with each other.

[0047] Similarly, the operation method of a detection platform for a metering terminal described above is also within the protection scope of the present invention. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. The metering terminal is connected and fixed to the same-position frame 3 through the connecting angle steel 15, and is supported by the lifting cylinder 4 at the same time. After the lifting cylinder 4 is lifted to the servo position corresponding to the height of the clamping cylinder 26, the clamping cylinder 26 starts to operate, drives the clamping table 11 to move relatively closer, and is clamped and fixed by embedding the positioning pin 10 into the same-position frame 3;

[0049] S2. The operator starts to repair the metering terminal, and at the same time cooperates with the rotation of the hollow surface of the outward-tilting frame 14 and the rotating cylinder 22 to realize multi-angle observation and repair;

[0050] S3. After the rotation angle of the metering terminal reaches the maximum limit corresponding to the limiting sensor 36, the electric push rod 31 drives the outward-tilting frame 14 to swing, realizing the secondary outward tilt of the outward-tilting frame 14 based on the turning shaft 32 at its bottom, facilitating the repair operation of personnel.

[0051] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
