Unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0026] The present application provides a dismounting device for a smart meter, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The smart meter includes a meter body and a smart module provided on the meter body, and the dismounting device includes a housing 1, a limiting assembly 2, a driving assembly 3 and a grabbing assembly 4. The limiting assembly 2 is arranged on the housing 1, and the limiting assembly 2 is used to abut on the meter body. The driving assembly 3 is arranged on the housing 1. The grabbing assembly 4 is arranged on the driving end of the driving assembly 3, the driving assembly 3 can drive the grabbing assembly 4 to extend to connect with the smart module, and the driving assembly 3 can drive the grabbing assembly 4 to retract to separate the smart module from the meter body.

[0027] It should be noted that the smart meter includes a meter body and a smart module, and the smart module is embeddedly installed on the meter body. It is worth noting that during the dismounting process, the position of the meter body does not change, and the meter body is not dismounted, only the smart module embedded on the meter body is dismounted.

[0028] The dismounting device includes a housing 1, which can be made of high-strength engineering plastic, such as ABS or polycarbonate. High-strength engineering plastic has excellent mechanical strength and impact resistance, and can maintain the integrity of the tool during long-term use, avoiding damage due to accidental collision, falling or severe vibration.

[0029] The housing 1 is made of injection molding process, has certain electrical resistance and isolation performance, and can ensure the safety of the operator when used in high-voltage environment.

[0030] In addition, the housing 1 can be designed with isolation inside, and multiple independent compartments are arranged inside the housing 1, the driving assembly 3 and other functional modules do not interfere with each other, and are convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0031] Meanwhile, the outer contour surface of the shell 1 can adopt an ergonomic design. In the design of the outer contour surface, the holding feeling and convenience of the dismounting device can be considered, especially when used for a long time. By optimizing the shape of the holding part of the shell 1 and the anti-skid treatment, the fatigue feeling of the operator can be further reduced.

[0032] When the smart module is dismounted by the dismounting device, the limiting assembly 2 abuts against the electric meter body for position fixing. The driving end of the driving assembly 3 drives the grabbing assembly 4 to move towards the smart module until the grabbing assembly 4 is connected with the smart module. Then, the driving assembly 3 drives the grabbing assembly 4 to retract, and in the retraction process, the driving assembly 3 drives the smart module to separate from the electric meter body through the grabbing assembly 4.

[0033] The dismounting device provided by the present application has the characteristics of efficient dismounting and significantly improved work efficiency. The driving assembly 3 and the grabbing assembly 4 are cooperated to significantly improve the dismounting speed. The dismounting device provided by the present application avoids the danger of climbing high, using a ladder and other tools in the traditional manual dismounting process through the intelligent control and the driving assembly 3. The dismounting process is completely completed automatically by the dismounting device, and the operator does not need to contact the smart module, thereby reducing the risk of high-altitude operation and operation in a small space.

[0034] In a possible implementation manner, as shown in Figure 2 The driving end of the driving assembly 3 passes through the avoiding opening 21 and is connected with the grabbing assembly 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, the avoiding opening 21 is arranged on the limiting assembly 2, and the driving end of the driving assembly 3 is arranged through the avoiding opening 21. The limiting assembly 2, the driving assembly 3 and the grabbing assembly 4 are arranged in a centralized manner, which can facilitate the operator to align the smart module, and also can make the overall size of the dismounting device smaller, which is beneficial to carrying.

[0036] In a possible implementation manner, the limiting assembly 2 is detachably arranged on the shell 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting assembly 2 is detachably arranged on the shell 1, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the driving assembly 3 and the grabbing assembly 4. Meanwhile, the number of the limiting assembly 2 is at least one, and at least one limiting assembly 2 is selectively arranged on the shell 1. That is, on the basis of one shell 1, the driving assembly 3 and the grabbing assembly 4, a plurality of limiting assemblies 2 can be adapted. The specific structure of the limiting assembly 2 can be adapted to a plurality of types of smart electric meters, thereby improving the universality of the dismounting device and enabling the dismounting device to be applicable to different types of smart electric meters and to perform effective dismounting work. For example, the smart electric meter includes a single-phase electric meter and a three-phase electric meter.

[0038] In a possible implementation manner, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the limiting component 2 includes a connecting part 22 and a plurality of abutting parts 23. One end of the connecting part 22 is connected to the housing 1, and the connecting part 22 is provided with a clearance opening 21. The plurality of abutting parts 23 are spaced apart at the other end of the connecting part 22, and the ends of the abutting parts 23 are used to abut against the meter body.

[0039] In this embodiment, the limiting component 2 includes a connecting portion 22 and multiple abutment portions 23. The connecting portion 22 serves as the connection structure between the housing 1 and the abutment portions 23. Specifically, the connecting portion 22 includes connecting ribs 221 and a connecting plate 222. Multiple connecting ribs 221 are present, with one end connected to the housing 1 and the other end disposed on a first side of the connecting plate 222. The connecting plate 222 has a clearance opening 21, and the multiple abutment portions 23 are disposed on a second side of the connecting plate 222. The multiple abutment portions 23 are arranged around the clearance opening 21. Specifically, the multiple abutment portions 23 are evenly spaced, thereby providing a more stable abutment force, allowing the disassembly device to firmly abut against the meter body.

[0040] Specifically, there are four abutment parts 23, which are distributed at the four corners of the connecting plate 222. The clearance opening 21 is located at the center of the connecting plate 222.

[0041] When the contact part 23 abuts against the meter body, there is a working distance between the connecting plate 222 and the smart module embedded in the meter body. When the gripping component 4 extends and connects to the smart module, and the gripping component 4 retracts to detach the smart module from the meter body, the working distance provides working space for the gripping component 4, preventing interference between the smart module detached from the meter body and the connecting plate 222.

[0042] It is conceivable that, along the direction of extension and retraction of the gripping component 4, the length of the working distance is greater than the thickness of the intelligent module.

[0043] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component 2 also includes a limiting part 24, which is disposed on at least one of the plurality of abutting parts 23. The limiting part 24 is used to position the limiting component 2. When the limiting part 24 is engaged with the meter body, the positions of the limiting component 2 and the housing 1 are fixed and will not shift, ensuring stable support for the separation of the gripping component 4 from the intelligent module. Optionally, the limiting part 24 is a limiting groove.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the gripping component 4 includes an adsorption element, the adsorption surface of which is used for adsorption connection with the smart module.

[0045] In this embodiment, the gripping component 4 includes an adsorption element connected to the driving end of the driving component 3. The adsorption element can adsorb and connect with the smart module, thereby adsorbing and separating the smart module from the meter body.

[0046] The adsorption component can be made of silicone or rubber, and the adsorption surface of the adsorption component has texture to enhance the gripping force. The adsorption component is wear-resistant, anti-aging, and has excellent elasticity, which can adapt to the shape of different smart module surfaces to ensure that it does not slip or cause surface scratches.

[0047] In one possible implementation, there are multiple adsorbents, which are spaced apart.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly 3 includes a drive motor, a drive rod, and a guide member, with the drive motor mounted on the housing 1. One end of the drive rod is connected to the drive motor, and the other end is connected to the gripping assembly 4. The guide member is mounted on the drive motor and / or the housing 1, and the drive rod is extendable and retractable along the guide member.

[0049] Specifically, the drive motor includes a stepper motor or a servo motor, which can provide precise positioning control to ensure that the gripping component 4 is precisely docked on the surface of the smart module.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the disassembly device further includes a positioning module and a control module. The positioning module is located on the housing 1 and is used to indicate the position of the intelligent module. The control module is located on the housing 1 and is used to control the start and stop of the drive assembly 3 and the positioning module.

[0051] In this embodiment, the positioning module includes an infrared sensor and / or a laser sensor. The positioning module indicates the position of the intelligent module, facilitating the operator to align the grasping component 4 with the intelligent module. The laser sensor provides high-precision distance measurement, while the infrared sensor is suitable for more complex environments, such as dusty or oily places, and has greater adaptability.

[0052] Specifically, the control module includes control button 5, which is electrically connected to the drive module and the positioning module.

[0053] The control module is mounted on the housing 1. The control module serves as the start / stop control structure for the disassembly device. When the user holds the disassembly device, the device can be turned on / off via the exposed control button 5.

[0054] When the user uses the disassembly device, the positioning module can be used for initial positioning, and then the limiting component 2 can be used for secondary positioning, so that the gripping component 4 can be accurately positioned at the intelligent module.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the disassembly device further includes a monitoring module, which is located on the housing 1 and is used to monitor the operating status of the drive assembly 3 and the positioning module.

[0056] In this embodiment, the monitoring module has a self-testing function, enabling it to monitor the working status of each functional module in the disassembly device in real time and automatically identify potential fault risks. For example, multiple sensors are built into the housing 1 to continuously monitor the operation of various components such as the drive motor, gripping component 4, and positioning module. If any abnormality is detected (such as motor overheating, gripping position deviation, etc.), the emergency power-off function will be automatically activated. Once a fault occurs, the monitoring module will feed the abnormal data back to the control module, immediately cutting off the power supply and stopping operation to ensure the safety of operators and equipment.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the disassembly device further includes a locking module disposed on the housing 1. After the gripping component 4 is aligned with the smart module, the locking module can fix the gripping component 4 and the smart module.

[0058] In this embodiment, the locking module includes an electromagnetic lock or a servo-driven lock, which uses precise control to ensure that the gripping component 4 does not loosen or malfunction during operation. Once the gripping component 4 is precisely docked with the smart module, the locking module activates, securing the gripping component 4 to the smart module and ensuring stability during disassembly. After disassembly is complete, the locking module automatically releases, releasing the gripping component 4 and allowing the smart module to be safely removed.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the disassembly device also includes a communication module that uses Wi-Fi or Bluetooth protocols for data transmission, enabling fast and stable transmission of various operational status data.

[0060] The communication module is responsible for transmitting operational data of the disassembly device (such as disassembly progress, battery level, and operating status) to the cloud monitoring platform in real time. Operators can view the data and obtain real-time feedback through the remote monitoring system. The communication module also has a remote fault diagnosis function. When a fault occurs, the monitoring platform can alert the operator through the early warning system and provide a fault analysis report.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
