Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial robots for electric meter automation, specifically an industrial machine device for installing smart meter modules. Background Technology

[0002] The assembly of smart meters is generally automated through industrial robots. In one assembly operation, the robotic arm needs to assemble the meter module into the inside of the meter housing. This requires moving the meter housing and the meter module and correcting their positions to complete the relative assembly of the meter housing and the meter module.

[0003] A patent document with announcement number CN108673077B discloses an electricity meter module installation device and its installation method. The electricity meter module installation device includes a bracket, a lifting mechanism, a first positioning mechanism, and a gripping mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to lift the electricity meter tray to the first positioning mechanism, the first positioning mechanism is used to position the electricity meter on the electricity meter tray, and the gripping mechanism is used to grip the module to be installed to the module installation port of the electricity meter on the electricity meter tray, thereby realizing the precise installation of the module.

[0004] In the process of precisely installing the smart meter module into the meter casing, an industrial robot first pneumatically grips the smart meter module in a fixed position. Then, it waits for the conveyor frame and the meter casing placed inside it to be transported into place. After a correction process, the meter casing is positioned in a fixed position within the conveyor frame, which is the assembly position. The robot then assembles the smart meter module into the meter casing, thus completing the assembly work. In the traditional assembly process, the positioning of the conveyor frame and the meter casing, as well as the positioning of the meter casing inside the conveyor frame, are driven by different systems. These different drive systems need to be synchronized and coordinated, and there are inherent problems such as servo parameter differences, communication delays, and temperature drift.

The conveying and positioning machine includes a fixed column and a pneumatic linkage component fixedly installed inside the meter conveyor. The pneumatic linkage component is located below the fixed column, and a rotating positioning component is rotatably installed on the outside of the fixed column. The straightening machine includes a U-shaped frame and a straightening claw slidably installed inside the U-shaped frame. Under the pneumatic action of the pneumatic linkage component, the fixed column rotates, causing the corresponding placement frame to move a fixed distance to the assembly position. At the same time, the straightening claw retracts and extends inside the U-shaped frame, pressing against the side of the corresponding meter housing. The meter housing is located inside the placement frame for assembly. Multiple horizontally arranged pulleys are installed inside the end of the straightening claw facing the meter housing.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating positioning component includes a rotating ring rotatably mounted on the outside of the fixed column and a rotating abutment fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating ring, wherein a contact sensor is mounted on the side of the rotating abutment.

[0008] Preferably, a toothed ring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating ring, and the internal components of the pneumatic linkage component drive the rotating ring to rotate by meshing with the toothed ring.

[0009] Preferably, the pneumatic linkage component includes a device housing and a mounting groove formed inside the device housing. The rotating ring is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove, and a pneumatic telescopic gear is slidably mounted inside the mounting groove. The pneumatic telescopic gear meshes with the gear ring.

[0010] Preferably, an air pump is installed inside the housing of the device. Under the action of the air pump, the air telescopic rack is extended and retracted for moving the end of the air telescopic rack to the engagement position.

[0011] Preferably, the U-shaped frame has a push groove inside, the straightening machine claw is slidably installed inside the push groove, and sliding blocks are installed on both sides of the end of the straightening machine claw. A connecting air pipe is installed inside the U-shaped frame, the connecting air pipe is connected to an air pump inside the device housing, a telescopic air pipe is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting air pipe, one end of the telescopic air pipe is connected to the side of the sliding block, and a ring spring is installed on the outside of the telescopic air pipe.

[0012] Preferably, when the telescopic air tube is inflated and expands, causing the sliding block to slide inside the pushing groove, the annular spring undergoes elastic deformation to generate elastic potential energy.

[0013] Preferably, a rubber ring block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the correction robot claw, and an inward groove is opened on the side of the push groove facing the multi-axis robot. The inward groove is arc-shaped and the groove spacing of the inward groove is smaller than the groove spacing of the push groove. An air pipe groove is also opened inside the push groove, and the connecting air pipe is installed inside the air pipe groove.

[0014] Preferably, the meter conveyor includes a mechanical frame and a conveying device fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the mechanical frame. The conveying device includes a conveyor frame and a conveyor belt driven on the outside of the conveyor frame, and a plurality of the placement frames are installed on the outside of the conveyor belt.

[0015] Preferably, multiple connecting strips are fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and the placement frame is connected to the conveyor belt through the corresponding connecting strips. Conveying guide rail grooves are opened on both sides of the mechanical frame, and guide rails are fixedly installed on both sides of the placement frame. The guide rails are slidably installed inside the conveying guide rail grooves. The placement frame is driven along with the conveyor belt through the arrangement of the guide rails and connecting strips. Multiple placement frames are evenly distributed and installed inside the meter conveyor.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention discloses an industrial machine device for installing smart meter modules. Multiple conveyor frames are automatically transported above a module conveyor. The meter module board is placed within the conveyor frames. When the conveyor frames reach and are positioned above the reciprocating conveyor, a multi-axis robot pneumatically grips the meter module board. Simultaneously, the meter conveyor delivers a placement frame and the meter housing to a conveying and positioning machine. A rotating positioning component rotates for the first time to abut and release the placement frame, while the corrective robot claw retracts. As the placement frame continues to move to the assembly position, the rotating positioning component rotates in the opposite direction for the second time to reset and abut against the next set of placement frames, while the corrective robot claw extends, precisely positioning the meter housing within the placement frame. The pneumatic linkage component completes the two rotations of the rotating positioning component and the extension and retraction of the corrective robot claw with the same drive, eliminating the need for synchronization and avoiding issues such as servo differences, communication delays, and temperature drift. This ensures that the meter housing reaches the preset assembly position both horizontally and vertically. Subsequently, the multi-axis robot inserts the gripped meter module board into the positioned meter housing, completing one assembly cycle. This process is repeated to achieve automated assembly.

[0017] 2. The industrial machine device for installing smart meter modules described in this invention uses a straightening machine claw that moves towards the outside of a U-shaped frame. The movement is initially fast and then slows down until the outer rubber ring of the straightening machine claw makes contact with the inner groove. That is, the speed of the straightening machine claw decreases further when it is about to approach the outside of the meter housing. This avoids damage to the meter housing caused by the excessively fast pressing speed of the straightening machine claw. In this device, under the same drive system, the straightening machine claw presses against the meter housing at a speed that is initially fast and then slows down, accurately positioning the meter housing inside the placement frame. This method can both speed up the automated processing time and prevent damage to the meter housing caused by the pressing work of the straightening machine claw due to excessive pursuit of processing efficiency.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: As Figures 1-7 As shown, an industrial machine device for installing smart meter modules according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a module conveyor 1 and multiple conveyor frames 2 conveyed above the module conveyor 1 by an automated machine. A meter module plate 3 is placed inside the conveyor frame 2. A reciprocating conveyor 4 is movably installed on the side of the module conveyor 1. A multi-axis robot 5 is installed on one side of the reciprocating conveyor 4. A meter conveyor 6 is installed on the side of the multi-axis robot 5. Multiple placement frames 63 are conveyed and installed inside the meter conveyor 6. A meter housing 64 is conveyed above the placement frames 63 by an automated machine. The module conveyor 1 is used to convey the conveyor frames 2 and the meter module plate 3 to the top of the reciprocating conveyor 4. The multi-axis robot 5 is used to move the meter module plate 3 above the reciprocating conveyor 4 into the corresponding meter housing 64 to complete the assembly. The meter conveyor 6 is equipped with a conveying and positioning machine 8. A straightening machine device 7 is installed above the meter conveyor 6. The conveying and positioning machine 8 includes a fixed column 81 and a pneumatic linkage component 83 fixedly installed inside the meter conveyor 6. The pneumatic linkage component 83 is located below the fixed column 81. A rotating positioning component 82 is rotatably installed on the outside of the fixed column 81. The straightening machine device 7 includes a U-shaped frame 71 and a straightening machine claw 72 slidably installed inside the U-shaped frame 71. Under the pneumatic action of the pneumatic linkage component 83, the fixed column 81 rotates, causing the corresponding placement frame 63 to move a fixed distance to the assembly position. At the same time, the straightening machine claw 72 completes the retraction and extension work inside the U-shaped frame 71, and abuts against the side of the corresponding meter housing 64. The meter housing 64 is located inside the placement frame 63 for assembly. Multiple horizontally arranged pulleys are installed inside the end of the straightening machine claw 72 facing the meter housing 64.

[0023] Specifically, multiple conveyor frames 2 are transported above the modular conveyor 1 by an automated machine, while the meter module board 3 is placed inside the conveyor frames 2, achieving precise positioning in the conveying position. The specific method adopts existing technology. After the multiple conveyor frames 2 containing the meter module board 3 are transported above the reciprocating conveyor 4, the meter module board 3 on the reciprocating conveyor 4 reaches a preset position. A multi-axis robot 5 then pneumatically grasps it for assembly with the meter housing 64. After all the meter module boards 3 on the reciprocating conveyor 4 have been pneumatically grasped, the reciprocating conveyor 4 moves back and forth, transporting the multiple conveyor frames 2 out, and then returns to its initial position, ready for the next transport of the conveyor frames 2 and meter module boards 3 by the modular conveyor 1. When the multi-axis robot 5 pneumatically grasps the corresponding meter module board 3, a set of placement frames 63 and the meter housing 64 placed inside them, which are conveyed by the meter conveyor 6, move to above the conveying and positioning machine 8. At this time, one end of the rotating positioning member 82 faces the side of the placement frame 63 and abuts against the set of placement frames 63, indicating that the set of placement frames 63 has reached the pre-assembly position. Subsequently, under the action of the pneumatic linkage component 83, the rotating positioning member 82 rotates around the outside of the fixed column 81 for the first time in the initial state, so that one end of the rotating positioning member 82 continues to contact the placement frame 63 without affecting the movement of the placement frame 63. Through the continued transmission of the meter conveyor 6, the placement frame 63 moves until the end of the rotating positioning member 82 initially contacts the placement frame 63. 3. Separation: At this point, the placement frame 63 and the meter housing 64 reach the assembly position. Under the action of the pneumatic linkage component 83, when the rotating positioning component 82 rotates for the first time, the synchronous correction machine claw 72 will first extend outward from the U-shaped frame 71 and then retract into the U-shaped frame 71, thus not affecting the movement of the meter housing 64 to the side of the U-shaped frame 71. When the end of the rotating positioning component 82 initially separates from the placement frame 63, under the drive of the pneumatic linkage component 83, the rotating positioning component 82 performs a second reverse rotation until it returns to its initial position. At this time, the end of the rotating positioning component 82 contacts and holds the next set of placement frames 63. When the rotating positioning component 82 performs a second reverse rotation under the drive of the pneumatic linkage component 83, the synchronous state... The corrective gripper 72 slides out from inside the U-shaped frame 71 to the outside of the U-shaped frame 71, thereby abutting against the meter housing 64 as it moves inside the placement frame 63, accurately positioning the meter housing 64 within the placement frame 63, thus accurately determining the assembly position. Subsequently, the multi-axis robot 5 assembles the pneumatically gripped meter module plate 3 into the positioned meter housing 64, completing the assembly of a set of meter housing 64 and meter module plate 3. Specifically, the pneumatic linkage component 83 can be driven by pneumatic 1 to simultaneously drive the rotation of the rotating positioning component 82 and the sliding of the corrective gripper 72. Using the same drive system eliminates the need for synchronization and system coordination, avoiding inherent problems such as servo parameter differences, communication delays, and temperature drift. Furthermore, as the meter conveyor 6 continues to move,After assembly, the meter housing 64 and meter module board 3 are conveyed away, while the meter housing 64 to be assembled continues to move to the assembly position. In cooperation with the multi-axis robot 5, the assembly of the meter housing 64 and meter module board 3 is completed by automated industrial machinery. The precise movement distance of the meter housing 64 is controlled by the conveying and positioning machine 8, ensuring that the lateral distance of the meter housing 64 reaches the preset position. Subsequently, the extension of the correction gripper 72 ensures that the vertical distance of the meter housing 64 reaches the preset position.

[0024] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the rotating positioning member 82 includes a rotating ring 821 rotatably mounted on the outside of the fixed column 81 and a rotating abutment 823 fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating ring 821. A contact sensor 824 is mounted on the side of the rotating abutment 823.

[0025] A toothed ring 822 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating ring 821. The internal components of the pneumatic linkage component 83 drive the rotating ring 821 to rotate by meshing with the toothed ring 822.

[0026] The pneumatic linkage component 83 includes a device housing 831 and a mounting groove 832 formed inside the device housing 831. A rotating ring 821 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove 832. A pneumatic telescopic rack 833 is slidably mounted inside the mounting groove 832 and meshes with the rack ring 822.

[0027] An air pump is installed inside the housing 831 of the device. Under the action of the air pump, the air telescopic rack 833 is extended and retracted for the movement of the end of the air telescopic rack 833 to the meshing position.

[0028] Specifically, when the placement frame 63 contacts the rotating abutment 823, it is detected by the contact sensor 824, which then causes the air pump inside the device housing 831 to start working. This causes the pneumatic telescopic rack 833 to begin to retract and slide inside the device housing 831. The specific mechanism by which the air pump drives the pneumatic telescopic rack 833 to slide utilizes existing technology. The air pump has two inflation ports; one inflates while the other deflates, enabling the pneumatic telescopic rack 833 to slide and achieve telescopic operation. Through meshing, the rotating abutment 823 rotates for the first time, thus no longer blocking the placement frame 63 and hindering its movement. Simultaneously with the first rotation of the rotating abutment 823, the placement frame 63 moves synchronously until the two are initially separated. During the first rotation of the rotating abutment 823, one inflation port of the air pump inflates, and the corrective gripper 72... The sliding inside the U-shaped frame 71 is affected by the air inlet, thus achieving linkage. When the air inlet is inflated, the straightening claw 72 slides into the U-shaped frame 71. When the placement frame 63 and the rotating abutment 823 are initially separated, under the action of the air pump, the rotating abutment 823 rotates to the initial position for the second time and contacts the next set of placement frames 63 to be assembled. At this time, the air inlet linked with the straightening claw 72 will draw air, which will cause the straightening claw 72 to extend to the outside of the U-shaped frame 71 and abut against the meter housing 64 which is currently on one side of the U-shaped frame 71. This ensures that the meter housing 64 is in the position inside the placement frame 63, thus placing the meter housing 64 in the assembly position. In this way, the rotation of the rotating abutment 823 controls the movement distance of the placement frame 63 to be assembled, thus allowing the meter housing 64 to accurately reach the assembly position.

[0029] like Figures 7-9 As shown, a push groove 711 is provided inside the U-shaped frame 71. The straightening machine claw 72 is slidably installed inside the push groove 711. Sliding blocks 721 are installed on both sides of the end of the straightening machine claw 72. A connecting air pipe 722 is installed inside the U-shaped frame 71. The connecting air pipe 722 is connected to the air pump inside the device housing 831. A telescopic air pipe 723 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting air pipe 722. One end of the telescopic air pipe 723 is connected to the side of the sliding block 721. A ring spring 724 is installed on the outside of the telescopic air pipe 723.

[0030] When the telescopic air tube 723 is inflated and expands, it causes the sliding block 721 to slide inside the push groove 711. The ring spring 724 then undergoes elastic deformation, generating elastic potential energy.

[0031] A rubber ring block 725 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the correction robot gripper 72. An inward groove 7111 is opened on the side of the push groove 711 facing the multi-axis robot 5. The inward groove 7111 is arc-shaped and the groove spacing of the inward groove 7111 is smaller than the groove spacing of the push groove 711. An air pipe groove 7112 is also opened inside the push groove 711, and a connecting air pipe 722 is installed inside the air pipe groove 7112.

[0032] Specifically, when the rotating stop 823 rotates for the first time, one of the air pump's charging ports will be inflated. At this time, some of the gas is guided into the interior of the fixed connecting air pipe 722, that is, into the interior of the telescopic air pipe 723, causing the telescopic air pipe 723 to extend. Simultaneously, the annular spring 724 on the outside of the telescopic air pipe 723 is stretched. One end of the annular spring 724 is connected to the sliding block 721, and the other end is connected to the interior of the U-shaped frame 71. Through the extension of the telescopic air pipe 723, the sliding block 721 and the straightening machine gripper 72 are moved... When the U-shaped frame 71 retracts inward, the end of the straightening machine claw 72 is no longer inside the U-shaped frame 71, thus not affecting the movement of the meter housing 64 to the side of the U-shaped frame 71. At this point, the meter housing 64 is in the assembly position on the side of the U-shaped frame 71. When the rotating abutment 823 rotates in the reverse direction for the second time, the same air inlet of the air pump will draw air, that is, draw the gas inside the connecting air pipe 722 and the telescopic air pipe 723. When the gas is drawn in, in conjunction with the elastic potential energy restoring force of the overstretched annular spring 724, the straightening machine claw 724... The initial movement of the straightening gripper 72 towards the outside of the U-shaped frame 71 will be faster. At this time, the movement of the straightening gripper 72 towards the outside of the U-shaped frame 71 is affected by the elastic potential energy restoring force of the ring spring 724 and the air pumping speed. The air pumping rate is constant, so when the elastic potential energy restoring force decreases, the movement speed of the straightening gripper 72 will also decrease. In summary, the movement of the straightening gripper 72 towards the outside of the U-shaped frame 71 will be fast at first and then slow down until the outer rubber ring block 725 of the straightening gripper 72 meets the inner groove 7111. When the straightening claw 72 approaches the outer side of the meter housing 64, its speed will decrease further to prevent damage to the meter housing 64 caused by excessively fast pressing speed. In this device, under the same drive system, the straightening claw 72 presses against the meter housing 64 at a speed that gradually slows down, accurately positioning the meter housing 64 inside the placement frame 63. This method can both speed up the automated processing time and prevent damage to the meter housing 64 caused by the pressing operation of the straightening claw 72 due to excessive pursuit of processing efficiency.

[0033] Example 2: Figures 2-4As shown in the comparative embodiment one, another embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the meter conveyor 6 includes a mechanical frame 61 and a conveying device 62 fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the mechanical frame 61. The conveying device 62 includes a conveying frame 621 and a conveyor belt 622 driven on the outside of the conveying frame 621. A plurality of placement frames 63 are installed on the outside of the conveyor belt 622.

[0034] Multiple connecting strips 6221 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveyor belt 622. The placement frame 63 is connected to the conveyor belt 622 through the corresponding connecting strips 6221. The inner walls on both sides of the mechanical frame 61 are provided with conveyor guide grooves 611. Guide rails 631 are fixedly installed on both sides of the placement frame 63. The guide rails 631 are slidably installed inside the conveyor guide grooves 611. The placement frame 63 is driven along with the conveyor belt 622 through the setting of the guide rails 631 and the connecting strips 6221. Multiple placement frames 63 are evenly distributed and installed inside the meter conveyor 6.

[0035] Specifically, the conveyor belt 622 is driven on the outside of the conveyor frame 621. When the conveyor belt 622 is driven, the placement frame 63 will follow the conveyor belt 622 through the presence of the connecting strip 6221 and the guide rail 631.

[0036] Working Principle: Multiple conveyor frames 2 are automatically transported above the modular conveyor 1, while the meter module board 3 is placed inside the conveyor frames 2, achieving precise positioning during transport. Specifically, existing technology is used. After the multiple conveyor frames 2 containing the meter module board 3 are transported above the reciprocating conveyor 4, the meter module board 3 on the reciprocating conveyor 4 reaches a preset position. A multi-axis robot 5 then pneumatically grips the board for assembly with the meter housing 64. Once all the meter module boards 3 on the reciprocating conveyor 4 have been pneumatically gripped, the reciprocating conveyor 4 moves back and forth, transporting the multiple conveyor frames 2 out, and then returns to its initial position, ready for the next transport of the conveyor frames 2 and meter module boards 3 by the modular conveyor 1. During the conveying process, when the multi-axis robot 5 pneumatically grasps the corresponding meter module board 3, a set of placement frames 63 and the meter housing 64 placed inside them, conveyed by the meter conveyor 6, move to above the conveying and positioning machine 8. At this time, one end of the rotating positioning component 82 faces the side of the placement frame 63 and abuts against the set of placement frames 63, indicating that the set of placement frames 63 has reached the pre-assembly position. Subsequently, under the action of the pneumatic linkage component 83, the rotating positioning component 82 rotates around the outside of the fixed column 81 for the first time in the initial state, so that one end of the rotating positioning component 82 continues to contact the placement frame 63 without affecting the movement of the placement frame 63. Through the continued transmission of the meter conveyor 6, the placement frame 63 moves until the end of the rotating positioning component 82 initially contacts the placement frame. At step 63, the placement frame 63 and the meter housing 64 reach their assembly positions. Under the linkage of the pneumatic linkage component 83, when the rotating positioning component 82 rotates for the first time, the synchronously aligned machine claw 72 extends outward from the U-shaped frame 71 and retracts into the U-shaped frame 71, thus not affecting the movement of the meter housing 64 to the side of the U-shaped frame 71. When the end of the rotating positioning component 82 initially separates from the placement frame 63, driven by the pneumatic linkage component 83, the rotating positioning component 82 performs a second reverse rotation until it returns to its initial position. At this point, the end of the rotating positioning component 82 contacts and holds the next set of placement frames 63. During the second reverse rotation driven by the pneumatic linkage component 83, the synchronously aligned machine claw 72 retracts into the U-shaped frame 71 while extending outward. In this state, the corrective gripper 72 slides out from inside the U-shaped frame 71 to the outside of the U-shaped frame 71, thereby abutting against the meter housing 64 as it moves inside the placement frame 63, accurately positioning the meter housing 64 within the placement frame 63, thus accurately determining the assembly position. Subsequently, the multi-axis robot 5 assembles the pneumatically gripped meter module plate 3 into the positioned meter housing 64, completing the assembly of a set of meter housing 64 and meter module plate 3. Specifically, the pneumatic linkage component 83 can be driven by pneumatic 1 to simultaneously drive the rotation of the rotating positioning component 82 and the sliding of the corrective gripper 72. Using the same drive system eliminates the need for synchronization and system coordination, avoiding inherent problems such as servo parameter differences, communication delays, and temperature drift. Furthermore, as the meter conveyor 6 continues to drive...After assembly, the meter housing 64 and meter module 3 are transported away, while the meter housing 64 to be assembled continues to move to the assembly position. In cooperation with the multi-axis robot 5, the assembly of the meter housing 64 and meter module 3 is completed by automated industrial machinery. The precise movement distance of the meter housing 64 is controlled by the conveying and positioning machine 8, ensuring the lateral distance of the meter housing 64 reaches a preset position. Then, the extension of the corrective gripper 72 ensures the vertical distance of the meter housing 64 reaches a preset position. Upon the first rotation of the rotating abutment 823, one of the air pump's inlets is inflated, and a portion of the gas is guided into the fixed connecting air pipe 722. The air tube 723 extends into the telescopic air tube 723, causing it to extend. Simultaneously, the annular spring 724 on the outside of the telescopic air tube 723 is stretched. One end of the annular spring 724 is connected to the sliding block 721, and the other end is connected to the inside of the U-shaped frame 71. The extension of the telescopic air tube 723 causes the sliding block 721 and the straightening claw 72 to retract inside the U-shaped frame 71. This means the end of the straightening claw 72 is no longer inside the U-shaped frame 71, thus not affecting the movement of the meter housing 64 to the side of the U-shaped frame 71. At this point, the meter housing 64 is in the assembly position on the side of the U-shaped frame 71. When the abutment 8 is rotated... 23. During the second reverse rotation, the same air inlet of the air pump will draw air, that is, draw the gas inside the connecting air pipe 722 and the telescopic air pipe 723. When the gas is drawn in, combined with the elastic potential energy restoring force of the overstretched annular spring 724, the initial movement of the straightening gripper 72 towards the outside of the U-shaped frame 71 will be more rapid. At this time, the movement of the straightening gripper 72 towards the outside of the U-shaped frame 71 is affected by the elastic potential energy restoring force of the annular spring 724 and the air drawing speed. The air pump's drawing rate is constant, so when the elastic potential energy restoring force decreases, the movement speed of the straightening gripper 72 will also decrease. In summary, the straightening gripper 72 towards the U-shaped frame 71... The movement of the outer side of the frame 71 is initially fast and then slows down until the outer rubber ring 725 of the straightening claw 72 makes contact with the inner groove 7111. This means that the speed of the straightening claw 72 decreases further as it approaches the outer side of the meter housing 64. This prevents the excessively fast pressing speed of the straightening claw 72 from damaging the meter housing 64. In this device, under the same drive system, the straightening claw 72 presses against the meter housing 64 with an initial fast and then slower motion, precisely positioning the meter housing 64 within the placement frame 63. This method not only speeds up automated processing time but also prevents excessive pursuit of processing efficiency from damaging the meter housing 64 due to the pressing action of the straightening claw 72.
