Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart meter calibration technology with data traceability function, and in particular to a smart meter calibration system and method with data traceability function. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of smart meters in the power industry, the production, calibration, and management of these meters have gradually become crucial aspects of power equipment manufacturing. As a vital tool for measuring electrical energy, the accuracy and functionality of smart meters directly impact the accuracy of metering, billing, and data analysis in the power system. Therefore, how to efficiently and accurately calibrate smart meters to ensure their metering accuracy and functional stability has become a pressing technical challenge for meter manufacturers.

[0003] Currently, the production and calibration of smart meters mostly rely on traditional large-scale calibration benches. These benches transmit signals by manually connecting the meter's terminals to the bench, then calibrate and test the meter. While large calibration benches play a crucial role in meter calibration, they have several significant drawbacks. First, large calibration benches are expensive to purchase, bulky, and difficult to maintain; repairs after malfunctions take considerable time, disrupting production. Second, traditional calibration benches are typically suitable for relatively fixed meter structures. For newer meters (such as DIN rail meters), due to their different terminal arrangements, direct calibration is difficult, requiring connections via extension cables, reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, the calibration process still requires manual insertion and removal of each meter terminal, a tedious and error-prone operation that results in low calibration efficiency and a significant risk of human error.

[0004] Therefore, in the production process of smart meters, how to improve verification efficiency, quickly adapt to various meter structures, reduce errors caused by manual operation, and achieve full-process automated management has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a smart meter calibration system and method with data traceability function, aiming to solve the problems of how to improve calibration efficiency, adapt to various meter structures, and reduce errors caused by manual operation in the smart meter production process.

Therefore, this solution improves the efficiency and flexibility of the calibration process while ensuring testing accuracy, and achieves full recording and management of meter information, effectively solving the problems of production stagnation, low efficiency, and lack of traceability in the background technology.

[0070] In one embodiment, a method for verifying a smart meter is provided, utilizing a smart meter calibration system with data traceability functionality. The method includes:

[0071] The identity information of the smart meter to be tested is scanned and entered using a barcode scanner.

[0072] After the identity information of the smart meter to be tested is entered, the standard voltage and standard current of the standard source are loaded onto the smart meter to be tested, and the meter calibration process is started.

[0073] The smart meter under test is subjected to metrological calibration and functional testing to obtain the verification results;

[0074] The calibration results are transmitted to the data management module, and key information of the smart meter under test is recorded and stored.

[0075] In this embodiment, the process of performing metrological calibration and functional testing on the smart meter under test to obtain the verification result includes:

[0076] Perform self-calibration on the smart meter under test, and determine whether the smart meter under test has successfully self-calibrated;

[0077] If the smart meter under test successfully self-calibrates, the standard current output from the standard source is cut off, and the smart meter under test is time-calibrated.

[0078] Determine whether the smart meter under test has successfully calibrated its time. If the smart meter under test has successfully calibrated its time, set the factory information of the smart meter under test, and then obtain the key information of the smart meter.

[0079] In this embodiment, the method further includes:

[0080] If the smart meter under test fails to self-calibrate or fails to synchronize its time, troubleshooting will be performed on the smart meter under test.

[0081] If the fault of the smart meter under test is successfully diagnosed, repeat the above steps of scanning and entering the identity information of the smart meter under test using a barcode scanner.

[0082] In one embodiment, most current smart meter manufacturers still use traditional large-scale calibration benches to calibrate their meters. The general process is as follows:

[0083] Use an electric screwdriver to connect the load terminals of the smart meter to be tested one by one to the meter calibration table and fix the meter in place.

[0084] Load the standard source signal, start the calibration operation, and manually observe the calibration results;

[0085] Manually test the load switch, communication interface, and other function options one by one.

[0086] Use specialized equipment to perform initial function settings and initialization on qualified products.

[0087] Remove the electricity meter, seal it, affix the meter number barcode, scan the barcode, package it, and put it into storage.

[0088] Existing large calibration consoles are expensive to purchase, occupy a large area, and are difficult and time-consuming to repair when core components malfunction.

[0089] Large meter calibration stations are typically used to calibrate smart meters that use bottom-out wiring. For meters with new housing structures, such as many rail-mounted meters, the arrangement of the load terminals is incompatible with the calibration station, so they cannot be directly mounted for calibration and must be connected via extension cables, which greatly reduces production efficiency.

[0090] Even if the load terminals can be matched with the calibration stand, all load terminals on each meter to be tested need to be loosened before testing, inserted into the calibration stand, and then tightened. After calibration, a complete reverse operation is required, which takes a lot of time and is inefficient.

[0091] Without other information interaction interfaces, it can only verify the metering accuracy and time accuracy of the smart meter, and cannot complete the function settings.

[0092] Production management methods that cannot achieve traceability;

[0093] For small signal terminals, incomplete connection is a common problem, which can lead to misjudgments and affect production progress.

[0094] This embodiment reduces the impact of production stoppages caused by malfunctions of large calibration stations;

[0095] It can quickly perform calibration work on electricity meters with any new casing;

[0096] The entire process, including precision calibration, function setting, and finished product registration, is automated, reducing the chance of human error in the verification process.

[0097] From the moment each smart meter goes online for testing, all information is automatically recorded for easy traceability in the future.

[0098] Reduce the time spent installing and removing smart meters during the verification process, and improve efficiency.

[0099] To address the pain points of traditional electricity meter production and improve production efficiency, a new solution was planned and designed. The hardware of this solution mainly consists of two parts: a standard source and a testing fixture.

[0100] Standard source: Purchased externally. Small size, low price, multiple can be purchased as backups, and can be easily and immediately replaced if there is a problem, with minimal impact on production.

[0101] Electricity meter testing fixture: For each type of electricity meter housing, a dedicated smart meter testing fixture can be customized to quickly adapt to the ever-increasing number of new housing structures.

[0102] like Figure 2As shown, the voltage in the smart meter calibration system framework is actually connected in parallel, while the current is connected in series, with the current ultimately returning to the standard source. Theoretically, this scheme can connect more fixtures; however, considering the effective working range of an operator, three units are a more reasonable configuration.

[0103] The standard source is used to output standard voltage and current (e.g., AC220V / 5A / 0.5L) to the fixture. The fixture is connected to the smart meter, and the software sends commands to the smart meter through the RS485 interface. The smart meter then automatically completes the metering calibration.

[0104] The jig includes the following components:

[0105]

[0106] The internal logical relationship of the entire verification system is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the workflow is as follows Figure 4 As shown;

[0107] By adopting this system, the following effects can be achieved:

[0108] Improved finished product management: Since the testing starts by scanning a QR code containing the meter's identification information, all key information about the meter can be recorded, including the meter number, accuracy data, functions, and factory settings. This greatly facilitates subsequent product maintenance.

[0109] Fully automatic operation ensures the product's accuracy level, with no missed inspection items and no missing or duplicate numbers.

[0110] This significantly increases production speed. Taking three-phase rail meters as an example, the original large calibration bench with 12 positions required checking 12 meters at a time, taking at least half an hour and averaging 150 seconds per meter. The new calibration system uses three fixtures to check three meters at a time, completing the process in just 90 seconds, averaging only 30 seconds per fixture, thus greatly improving calibration efficiency.

[0111] It can adapt to almost all different meter structures. By simply making new fixtures based on their contact characteristics, the testing environment can be set up in no more than 2 weeks, enabling the rapid launch of products needed by the market and improving the competitiveness of enterprise products.

[0112] By using a fixture, new meter housings can be adapted flexibly and quickly, replacing the traditional method that requires adding a new meter calibration station.

[0113] By using fixtures, the time for loading and unloading smart meters during testing is reduced to the second level, thus improving production efficiency.

[0114] The power supply and data information required in the verification process are sorted out, and the verification process is rationally integrated with the software to achieve fully automated management of production processes such as calibration, testing, and warehousing, eliminating the omissions of manual operation.

[0115] By binding key information such as the meter number, an identity file is established for all manufactured meters, facilitating future traceability.

[0116] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
