Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of single - phase watt - hour meter manufacturing, and particularly relates to a liquid - crystal shaping and clamping device for single - phase watt - hour meters. Background Art
[0002] During the manufacturing process of single - phase watt - hour meters, liquid - crystal installation is an essential link with a huge market demand. However, liquid - crystal products have multiple - pin leads. Due to their own characteristics, these leads are extremely prone to deformation during the feeding and picking process. At present, due to the problem that the leads are easily deformed not being effectively solved, the liquid - crystal installation of single - phase watt - hour meters mainly relies on manual labor. Manual installation not only has low efficiency but also is difficult to ensure the consistency of the process, cannot meet the requirements of large - scale production, and severely restricts the production efficiency and product quality of single - phase watt - hour meters.
[0003] Although there are solutions in the prior art to achieve automatic liquid - crystal installation by shaping and clamping the liquid - crystal leads and then cooperating with a handling device, there are still many deficiencies. On the one hand, the high degree of manual participation makes it difficult to improve efficiency; on the other hand, the problem of lead deformation still affects the installation efficiency and success rate, and high - efficiency and stable automated production cannot be achieved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Embodiments of the present application are proposed to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a liquid - crystal shaping and clamping device for single - phase watt - hour meters to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above - mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A liquid - crystal shaping and clamping device for single - phase watt - hour meters includes a clamping - device avoidance cylinder, a profiling - shaping device clamping cylinder, a profiling - shaping device, and a suction cup; the clamping - device avoidance cylinder is initially in the retracted position, and the profiling - shaping device clamping cylinder is in the relaxed position. When the liquid crystal reaches the picking position, the clamping - device avoidance cylinder switches to the forward position, and the profiling - shaping device clamping cylinder enters the clamping position to clamp the liquid - crystal leads. At the same time, the suction cup assists in adsorbing the liquid - crystal screen. A saw - tooth shaping mechanism is provided inside the profiling - shaping device. When the profiling - shaping device clamping cylinder is in the relaxed state, the saw - tooth shaping mechanism is in the free state; when the profiling - shaping device clamping cylinder clamps, the saw - tooth shaping mechanism enters the shaping state to perform one - time shaping on the liquid - crystal leads.
[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention: it further includes a mounting flange.
[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention: there is one saw - tooth each above and below the saw - tooth shaping mechanism.
[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the clamping device avoidance cylinder is used to adjust its position in different working stages, providing space for the operation of the profiling and shaping device clamping cylinder.
[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention: when the sucker assists in adsorption and the profiling and shaping device clamping cylinder clamps the liquid crystal pins, it tightly adsorbs the liquid crystal screen to ensure the stability of the liquid crystal during the shaping and installation processes.
[0011] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0012] 1. Significantly improved production efficiency: The present invention realizes the automatic shaping and clamping of liquid crystal pins. In cooperation with the automated handling device, it greatly shortens the installation time of a single liquid crystal. Compared with manual installation, the production efficiency per unit time is greatly improved, meeting the rhythm of large-scale production.
[0013] 2. Greatly improved installation success rate: The sawtooth shaping mechanism of the profiling and shaping device can shape all pins at one time, effectively correcting the pin deformation problem, avoiding installation failures caused by pin deformation, significantly improving the success rate of liquid crystal installation, and reducing the defective rate of products.
[0014] 3. Realize automated production: The design of this device realizes the automated process of liquid crystal installation in single-phase energy meters, reducing manual intervention. This not only reduces labor costs but also improves the stability and consistency of the production process, ensuring the stability of product quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] As shown Figures 1 - 3 in the figure, a clamping device for shaping the liquid crystal of a single-phase electric energy meter includes a clamping device avoidance cylinder 1, a profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2, a profiling shaping device 3, and a suction cup 4; the clamping device avoidance cylinder 1 is initially in the retracted position, and the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 is in the relaxed position. When the liquid crystal screen 6 reaches the material taking position, the clamping device avoidance cylinder 1 switches to the forward position, and the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 enters the clamping position to clamp the liquid crystal pins 7. At the same time, the suction cup 4 assists in adsorbing the liquid crystal screen 6. A sawtooth shaping mechanism is provided inside the profiling shaping device 3. When the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 is in the relaxed state, the sawtooth shaping mechanism is in the free state; when the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 clamps, the sawtooth shaping mechanism enters the shaping state to perform a one-time shaping of the liquid crystal pins 7.
[0021] It further includes a mounting flange 5. There is a sawtooth at the upper and lower parts of the sawtooth shaping mechanism 8.
[0022] The clamping device avoidance cylinder 1 is used to adjust the position in different working stages to provide space for the action of the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2.
[0023] The suction cup auxiliary adsorption 4 tightly adsorbs the liquid crystal screen when the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 clamps the liquid crystal pins, ensuring the stability of the liquid crystal during the shaping and installation processes.
[0024] The working principle is as follows:
[0025] In actual production applications, the device of the present invention is installed on the production line for installing the liquid crystal of a single-phase electric energy meter. First, ensure that the initial states of each component such as the clamping device avoidance cylinder 1 and the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 are correct, that is, the clamping device avoidance cylinder 1 is in the retracted position and the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 is in the relaxed position.
[0026] When the liquid crystal is transported to the material taking position along the production line, it triggers the action of the clamping device avoidance cylinder 1, causing it to advance to a predetermined position, creating conditions for the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 to clamp the liquid crystal pins. The profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2 responds quickly and enters the clamping position to firmly clamp the liquid crystal pins. At the same time, the suction cup auxiliary adsorption system is activated, and the suction cup tightly adsorbs the liquid crystal screen to ensure the stability of the liquid crystal during the entire shaping and installation processes.
[0027] In the profiling shaping device 3, under the action of the profiling shaping device clamping cylinder 2, the sawtooth shaping mechanism changes from the free state to the shaping state. The upper and lower sawteeth start to perform shaping operations on the liquid crystal pins. By the mutual cooperation and movement of the sawteeth, an appropriate external force is applied to the pins to restore them to the correct shape and position.
[0028] After shaping, the liquid crystals that pass the shaping inspection are accurately installed on the single-phase energy meters by the handling device. For the liquid crystals with large pin offsets and unqualified shaping, they are discarded according to the preset program to prevent unqualified products from entering the subsequent production process.
[0029] During the whole production process, according to the actual production requirements, the motion parameters of the avoidance cylinder 1 of the clamping device and the clamping cylinder 2 of the profiling and shaping device, such as stroke, speed, clamping force, etc., can be adjusted and optimized to ensure that the device is always in the best working state and achieve efficient and stable production.
[0030] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention.
[0031] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment have been appropriately combined to form other embodiments that are easy for those skilled in the art to understand.
