[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0022] Regarding the technical problem in the prior art that since the flap itself is a curved structure and there are protruding rotating shafts on both sides of its two ends, it cannot maintain a stable state during transportation and is not conducive to subsequent installation; the present application designs a feeding positioning device for the self-structure of the flap, which can make the flap maintain a stable state during transportation and is conducive to subsequent installation.

[0023] Figure 1 Shows the state structure diagram during the process of assembling the flap 200 to the gas meter housing 100; Figure 2 Shows the structure diagram of the flap 200; Figure 1 And Figure 2 In Figure 1 In, the gas meter housing 100 is restricted by the positioning member. There are positioning holes 110 on the gas meter housing 100. The feeding positioning device for installing the gas meter flap is arranged on one side of the gas meter housing 100 and is used to transport the flap 200 to the side of the gas meter housing 100. There are protruding bushings 210 and convex shafts 220 on the upper and lower sides of the two ends of the flap 200 respectively. In the installed state, the bushing 210 on the flap 200 needs to be aligned with the positioning hole 110 on the gas meter housing 100, that is, the bushing 210 and the positioning hole 110 are in the same vertical plane, and then a pivot shaft is passed through the positioning hole 110 and inserted into the bushing 210 to complete the installation of the flap 200 and the gas meter housing 100.

[0024] Figure 3 Shows the structure diagram of the conveyor assembly 400; Figure 3In the gas meter flap installation feeding and positioning device, it includes a bottom plate 300. A conveying component 400 is arranged on the bottom plate 300. The conveying component 400 includes a bottom tray 410 for carrying the flap 200. The bottom tray 410 has a first groove 411 corresponding to the shaft sleeve 210 and a second groove 412 corresponding to the convex shaft 220. In the working state, the end face of the flap 200 moves in contact with the surface of the bottom tray 410. The shaft sleeve 210 slides along the track of the first groove 411, and the convex shaft 220 slides along the track of the second groove 412. During use, the input end of the bottom tray 410 is externally connected to a material tray. The material tray rotates and drives the flap 200 to continuously pass over the bottom tray 410. At this time, the shaft sleeve 210 on the flap 200 can be inserted into the first groove 411, and the convex shaft 220 on the flap 200 can be inserted into the second groove 412 to ensure that the flap 200 can maintain a stable state during transportation. A side plate 420 is installed at the side end of the bottom tray 410. The side plate 420 is adjacent to the second groove 412 and forms a chute with an open top. A counting sensor 421 is installed on the side plate 420. Through the setting of the counting sensor 421, the passing flap 200 can be counted, and the side plate 420 can block the flap 200 on the side to prevent the flap 200 from tipping over during transportation. It should be noted that Figure 3 In one case, a group of side plates 420 are provided and located on one side of the bottom tray 410. In some other embodiments, two groups of side plates 420 can be provided and distributed on both sides of the bottom tray 410, and cooperate with the bottom tray 410 to form a channel with an open top. Above the bottom tray 410, a top plate 430 is arranged at intervals. In the working state, the top plate 430 is in clearance fit with the flap 200. The top plate 430 is arranged at intervals above the bottom tray 410, and a channel for the flap 200 to pass through is formed between the two. And during transportation, the top plate 430 and the flap 200 are in clearance fit. That is to say, the top plate 430 can limit the flap 200 but will not hinder the transportation of the flap 200. It should be noted that the top plate 430 is indirectly installed on the bottom plate 300.

[0025] Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the positioning component 500 is shown; Figure 5 Shown is Figure 4 The enlarged structural schematic diagram at A in Figure 4In the embodiment, a positioning assembly 500 is provided on the bottom plate 300 adjacent to the conveying assembly 400, and the positioning assembly 500 includes a hydraulic push rod 1 510 installed on the bottom plate 300, and the output end of the hydraulic push rod 1 510 is connected to a push plate 520, and the push plate 520 is slidably connected to the bottom plate 300, and the sliding direction of the push plate 520 is the same as the conveying direction of the flap 200, and a hydraulic push rod 2 530 is installed on the push plate 520, and the output end of the hydraulic push rod 2 530 is connected to two groups of clamping plates 540, and the two groups of clamping plates 540 cooperate to form a clamping claw for clamping the flap 200; in use, starting the hydraulic push rod 1 510 can drive the push plate 520 and the hydraulic push rod 530 to move. The second rod 530 and the clamping plate 540 move along the conveying direction of the flap 200, and when the second hydraulic push rod 530 is started, it can drive the two groups of clamping plates 540 to move closer to or farther from each other, thereby controlling the clamping of the flap 200; in the specific process, the second hydraulic push rod 530 is started to drive the two clamping plates 540 to move closer to each other and clamp the flap 200, and then the hydraulic push rod 1 510 is driven to drive the clamping plate 540 and the flap 200 to move toward the gas meter housing 100, and the flap 200 is separated from the conveying assembly 400; a third hydraulic push rod 550 is also installed on the bottom plate 300, and a push head 560 is installed at the output end of the third hydraulic push rod 550, The push head 560 and the flap 200 are located in the same plane, and the output direction of the push head 560 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the push plate 520. The two clamping plates 540 are both rotatably connected to the hydraulic push rod 2 530. In actual use, the flap 200 is pulled out of the conveying assembly 400 by the clamping plate 540 and placed in the air. The hydraulic push rod 3 550 is started to drive the push head 560 to push the flap 200 in the vertical direction, thereby driving the flap 200 to rotate along the connection between the clamping plate 540 and the hydraulic push rod 2 530, thereby changing the position of the shaft sleeve 210. The upper and lower sides of the flap 200 are respectively provided with a signal receiver 580 and a signal transmitter 570, and the shaft sleeve 210 rotates Move to the top of the signal transmitter 570 to block the signal and stop the push head 560. The signal transmitter 570 and the positioning hole 110 are on the same vertical plane; the signal transmitter 570 sends a signal, and the signal receiver 580 receives the signal. When the sleeve 210 moves to the top of the signal transmitter 570, the signal transmission is blocked, so that the push head 560 stops moving. The signal here can be a light source. When the light source is blocked, the hydraulic push rod three 550 receives the stop signal and realizes automatic stop; then start the hydraulic push rod one 510 again to drive the flap 200 to continue to move toward the gas meter housing 100 to realize the alignment of the sleeve 210 and the positioning hole 110.
