[0003] In the production line, operations such as transporting, clamping, fixing, and processing of water meters are required. However, in the existing water meter processing equipment, there are problems of inconvenient clamping of water meters and low processing efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, a Chinese patent application (application number: 202220664317.5) discloses a water meter shell processing equipment, which includes a support frame, a sleeve telescopic frame, sleeves, a rotating shaft, a spline shaft, a driving wheel, a driving wheel frame, a water meter frame, and a fixing frame; two sleeve telescopic frames are arranged on the upper part of the support frame, a water meter frame is arranged on the upper middle part of the support frame, a fixing frame is arranged on the water meter frame, a fixing cylinder is arranged on the fixing frame, and a pressing plate is arranged at the lower end of the fixing cylinder; two sleeves are slidably arranged inside the sleeve telescopic frame, a rotating shaft is rotatably arranged inside the sleeve, a tool holder is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft close to the water meter frame, a tool bit is arranged on the tool holder, a lower water meter support disk is fixedly arranged on the water meter frame, and an upper water meter support disk is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the pressing plate.
[0005] However, the above method has the following defects: it is necessary for personnel to accurately place each water meter at the designated position on the lower water meter support disk one by one, and then start the fixing cylinder to clamp and fix the water meter with the upper water meter support disk and the lower water meter support disk. The operation of personnel consumes a lot of time and has low efficiency. Moreover, the tool bit is likely to accidentally injure the operator, and the processing safety is relatively low. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to propose a water meter processing equipment in view of the above problems existing in the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to improve the processing efficiency and ensure the processing safety.
[0007] The purpose of the present utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A processing device for a water meter, including a frame, a processing platform is provided on the frame, a first cylinder, a pressing block and a supporting disk for placing the water meter are provided on the processing platform, the first cylinder is connected with a cutter head, the pressing block can press the water meter tightly on the supporting disk, and it is characterized in that the processing platform further includes a lifting block located between the cutter head and the supporting disk, the lifting block is provided with a limiting groove with an upward opening, the first cylinder can drive the cutter head to approach or move away from the lifting block, a sorting platform and a clamping jaw are further provided on the frame, a plurality of positioning disks for placing the water meter are provided on the sorting platform, the clamping jaw can move up and down along the height direction of the frame, and the clamping jaw can also reciprocate between the supporting disk and the sorting platform along the length direction of the frame.
[0008] The water meter includes a cylindrical body and two pipe water meters. After the previous process is completed, the water meters are centrally placed on a plurality of positioning disks on the sorting platform. When the clamping jaw moves above the sorting platform, the clamping jaw moves down to clamp the water meter, and then the clamping jaw moves above the supporting disk, aligns the water meter body with the supporting disk, aligns one pipe of the water meter with the limiting groove, moves the clamping jaw down to release the water meter, places the water meter body on the supporting disk, and places the water meter pipe in the supporting groove to complete the preliminary placement of the water meter. Then, control the pressing block to press the water meter body tightly on the supporting disk, so as to complete the limitation of the water meter in the height direction and the circumferential direction. At this time, the first cylinder can drive the cutter head to approach the water meter pipe for processing operations. The clamping jaw automatically clamps the water meter from the sorting platform, moves above the supporting disk, and aligns the supporting disk 23 and the limiting groove to place the water meter, without the need for personnel to place the water meter one by one, improving the processing efficiency. The clamping jaw transfers the water meter from the sorting platform to the processing platform, and then the cutter head is controlled by the cylinder to process the water meter. Personnel do not need to put their hands into the working area close to the cutter head, ensuring processing safety. The pressing block presses the water meter body tightly on the supporting disk, restricting the up and down movement of the water meter in the height direction. The water meter pipe extends into and is placed in the limiting groove. The limiting groove not only supports the water meter pipe in the height direction, but also restricts the rotation of the water meter in the circumferential direction, helping to achieve reliable fixation of the water meter.
[0009] In the above-mentioned processing device for a water meter, a pneumatic rotary cylinder is further provided on the processing platform. The pressing arm of the pneumatic rotary cylinder is fixedly connected with the pressing block. The pneumatic rotary cylinder can drive the pressing block to rotate above the supporting disk and approach or move away from the supporting disk along the height direction. When the pressing block does not press the water meter tightly, the pneumatic rotary cylinder drives the pressing block to rotate away from above the supporting disk, which does not affect the placement of the water meter. When the clamping jaw completes the preliminary placement of the water meter, the pneumatic rotary cylinder drives the pressing block to rotate above the supporting disk, and then drives the pressing block to approach the supporting disk along the height direction until it presses against the upper surface of the water meter body, clamping and fixing the water meter on the supporting disk. The pneumatic rotary cylinder accurately and automatically controls the movement of the pressing block, not only ensuring the processing effect, but also improving the processing efficiency. In addition, personnel do not need to put their hands into the working area close to the cutter head, ensuring processing safety.
[0010] The processing equipment for the above water meter, the positioning disks are distributed in an array, and a number of positioning members and a number of positioning holes for the positioning members to be inserted are also provided on the sorting platform. The positioning holes are arranged along the circumferences of the respective positioning disks. The array distribution of the positioning disks is conducive to improving the space utilization rate and arranging more water meters in a limited space. By providing a plurality of positioning holes for the positioning members to be inserted around each positioning disk, the water meter body can be more accurately positioned when placed. The positioning members restrict the direction of the water meter pipes, so that each water meter maintains a unified direction when being clamped and placed, which helps to improve the processing accuracy and consistency. Since the positioning members can help the clamping jaws to uniformly restrict the direction of the water meter when clamping the water meter, the operator does not need to pay excessive attention to the specific direction and position of the water meter during actual operation, which simplifies the operation process and improves the processing efficiency. Water meters of different models may vary in size and design. By allowing the selection of appropriate positioning holes to insert the positioning members as needed, the equipment has higher flexibility and versatility, enabling it to adapt to the processing requirements of water meters of different specifications. This reduces the equipment modification cost and allows the production line to quickly switch between different models of water meters, greatly enhancing the adaptability of the equipment.
[0011] The processing equipment for the above water meter, a first slide rail is fixedly provided on the frame along the width direction of the frame, and a first slider is provided on the sorting platform. The first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail and can reciprocate along the first slide rail. The design of the first slide rail and the first slider enables the sorting platform to flexibly adjust its position along the width direction of the frame according to actual processing requirements, making it easier for the clamping jaws to align with water meters at different positions, and improving the processing efficiency and flexibility. In a compact production environment, the ability to flexibly adjust the position of the sorting platform can make more effective use of space, thus enhancing the overall layout of the production line.
[0012] The processing equipment for the above water meter, the frame includes a cross arm and a vertical arm. A second cylinder, a second slider and a second slide rail arranged along the length direction of the frame are provided on the cross arm. A connecting arm, a third cylinder, a third slider and a third slide rail arranged along the height direction of the frame are provided on the vertical arm, and the vertical arm is fixedly connected to the second slider. The second cylinder drives the second slider to reciprocate along the second slide rail, and the third cylinder drives the third slider to reciprocate along the third slide rail. One end of the connecting arm is fixedly connected to the third slider, and the other end is connected to the clamping jaw. The clamping jaw can reciprocate along the height direction and the length direction of the frame respectively, and can more easily adapt to the grasping requirements of water meters at different heights and positions, improving the processing flexibility. The design of the cross arm and the vertical arm optimizes the space layout of the equipment, enabling the flexible configuration of the equipment in a more compact production environment and making full use of the vertical and horizontal spaces. The independent structures of the cross arm and the vertical arm make the equipment more convenient for maintenance and component replacement. The operator can quickly access and replace any faulty component, reducing the standby time and maintenance cost.
[0013] In the processing equipment for the water meter, a driving member for driving the rotation of the clamp is provided at one end of the connecting arm, and the clamp has two jaws, which are respectively arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the driving member. The clamp can rotate around the driving member, and the working angle can be freely adjusted to improve the processing flexibility. By using the two jaws to move simultaneously, multiple water meters can be operated at the same time, which improves the work efficiency. The two jaws are respectively arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the driving member, with a compact structure, optimized space layout, and efficient use of the work space.
[0014] In the above water meter processing equipment, the frame is also provided with a conveying platform, the conveying platform is provided with a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is arranged along the width direction of the frame. The water meter is placed at the input end of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt transports the water meter into the working range of the clamping jaws, and the conveyor belt transportation replaces the human transportation, thereby improving the automation degree of the entire processing equipment.
[0015] In the above-mentioned water meter processing equipment, the conveying platform is also provided with a strip-shaped boss, and the boss is provided with a plurality of fasteners along the length direction. The bosses are two and are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the fasteners fix the bosses on the conveying platform. Through the design of the fasteners, the distance between the two bosses can be flexibly adjusted, so that the working width of the conveyor belt can be adjusted according to the external dimensions and production requirements of different water meters, thereby improving flexibility.
[0016] In the processing equipment for the above-mentioned water meter, a distance sensor is provided on the clamping jaw. The distance sensor can monitor the closing degree of the clamping jaw in real time to ensure that the pressure of the clamping jaw when clamping the water meter is kept within a reasonable range, avoiding damage or scratches to the water meter caused by excessive clamping, and also preventing the clamping jaw from loosening and causing unstable clamping of the water meter. Different models of water meters may differ in size and shape. After being equipped with a distance sensor, the clamping jaw can automatically adjust the clamping force and range according to the characteristics of the grasped water meter. This flexibility improves the versatility and adaptability of the equipment, allowing the equipment to maintain efficient operation in multiple production batches.
[0017] The processing equipment of the water meter mentioned above, the frame also includes a column and a triangular block, the triangular block is connected to the column and the cross arm respectively, and the triangular block is provided with a plurality of through holes. The setting of the triangular block improves the stability and anti-seismic ability of the frame, and the setting of the through holes leaves a margin for thermal expansion and contraction, which helps to extend the service life of the equipment and improve its durability.
[0018] Compared with the existing technology, the processing equipment of this water meter has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. In the processing equipment of the water meter, the water meter is automatically clamped from the sorting platform by the clamping claw, moved to the top of the support plate, and the water meter is placed on the support plate 23 and the limit groove, without the need for personnel to place the water meters one by one, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0035] The gripper 4 can move up and down along the height direction of the frame 1, and the gripper 4 can also reciprocate between the support plate 23 and the sorting platform 3 along the length direction of the frame 1, which can more easily adapt to the grasping requirements of water meters at different heights and positions, and improve the processing flexibility. The design of the cross arm 12 and the vertical arm 13 optimizes the spatial layout of the equipment, and the equipment can be flexibly configured in a more compact production environment, making full use of the space in the vertical and horizontal directions. The independent structure of the cross arm 12 and the vertical arm 13 makes the equipment more convenient for maintenance and component replacement. The operator can quickly access and replace any faulty components, reducing the standby time and maintenance costs.
[0036] Specifically, one end of the connecting arm 131 is provided with a driving member 132 for driving the gripper 4 to rotate. There are two grippers 4, and the two grippers 4 are arranged back to back on both sides of the driving member 132.

By using two grippers 4 to move simultaneously, multiple water meters can be operated at the same time, improving the working efficiency. The two grippers 4 are arranged back to back on both sides of the driving member 132, with a compact structure, optimizing the spatial layout and making efficient use of the working space.
[0037] Furthermore, a distance sensor 41 is provided on the gripper 4. The distance sensor 41 can monitor the closing degree of the gripper 4 in real time, ensuring that the pressure of the gripper 4 when clamping the water meter is kept within a reasonable range, avoiding damage or scratching of the water meter caused by excessive clamping, and at the same time preventing the loosening of the gripper 4 resulting in unstable clamping of the water meter.

[0039] A conveyor belt 51 is provided on the conveying platform 5, and the conveyor belt 51 is arranged along the width direction of the frame 1. The water meter is placed at the input end of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt transports the water meter to the working range of the gripper 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the fasteners 521 can also play a role in adjusting the posture of the water meter. When the water meter pipeline touches the surface of the fasteners 521, the pipeline direction will be changed.
[0042] The sorting platform 3 is provided with a number of positioning disks 31, a number of positioning members 32, and a number of positioning holes 33 for the positioning members 32 to be embedded. The positioning disks 31 are arranged in an array, and the positioning holes 33 are arranged along the circumferences of the respective positioning disks 31.

By providing a number of positioning holes 33 for the positioning members 32 to be embedded around each positioning disk 31, the water meter body can be more accurately positioned when placed. The positioning members 32 restrict the direction of the water meter pipeline, enabling each water meter to maintain a unified direction when being clamped and placed, which helps to improve the accuracy and consistency of processing. Since the positioning members 32 can help the clamping jaws 4 to uniformly restrict the direction of the water meter when clamping the water meter, the operator does not need to overly concern about the specific direction and position of the water meter during actual operation, simplifying the operation process and improving processing efficiency. Different models of water meters may have differences in size and design. By allowing the appropriate positioning holes 33 to be selected according to needs to embed the positioning members 32, the equipment has higher flexibility and versatility, enabling it to adapt to the processing requirements of different specifications of water meters. This reduces the equipment transformation cost and allows the production line to quickly switch between different models of water meters, greatly enhancing the adaptability of the equipment.
[0043] A first slide rail 11 is fixedly arranged on the frame 1 along the width direction of the frame 1. A first slider 34 is arranged on the sorting platform 3. The first slider 34 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 11 and can reciprocate along the first slide rail 11. The design of the first slide rail 11 and the first slider 34 enables the sorting platform 3 to flexibly adjust its position along the width direction of the frame 1 according to actual processing requirements, making it easier for the gripper 4 to align with water meters at different positions, thus improving the processing efficiency and flexibility. In a compact production environment, the ability to flexibly adjust the position of the sorting platform 3 can make more effective use of space, thereby enhancing the overall layout of the production line.
[0044] A first cylinder 21, a pneumatic rotary cylinder 25, a pressing block 22, a lifting block 24, and a support disk 23 for placing the water meter body are arranged on the processing platform 2. The pressing arm of the pneumatic rotary cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 22. The pneumatic rotary cylinder 25 can drive the pressing block 22 to rotate above the support disk 23 and move closer to or away from the support disk 23 in the height direction. The lifting block 24 is located between the tool head 211 and the support disk 23, and the lifting block 24 is provided with a limiting groove 241 for placing the water meter pipeline. The opening of the limiting groove 241 faces upward. The first cylinder 21 is connected to the tool head 211 and can drive the tool head 211 to move closer to or away from the lifting block 24. When the pressing block 22 does not press the water meter, the pneumatic rotary cylinder 25 drives the pressing block 22 to rotate away from above the support disk 23, which does not affect the placement of the water meter. After the gripper 4 completes the preliminary placement of the water meter, the pneumatic rotary cylinder 25 then drives the pressing block 22 to rotate above the support disk 23, and then drives the pressing block 22 to move closer to the support disk 23 in the height direction until it presses against the upper surface of the water meter body, clamping and fixing the water meter on the support disk 23. The pneumatic rotary cylinder 25 precisely and automatically controls the movement of the pressing block 22, which not only ensures the processing effect but also improves the processing efficiency.

The clamping jaw 4 is aligned with the water meter to be clamped. Then, the third cylinder 132 drives the third slider 133 to move downward along the third slide rail 134, so that the connecting arm 131 moves downward, and further the clamping jaw 4 moves downward along the height direction of the frame 1 to clamp the water meter, completing the clamping of the water meter. Then, the third cylinder 132 drives the third slider 133 to move upward along the third slide rail 134, so that the connecting arm 131 moves upward, and further the clamping jaw 4 clamps the water meter and moves upward along the height direction of the frame 1. The second cylinder 121 drives the second slider 122 to move along the second slide rail 123, so that the clamping jaw 4 moves to above the support disk 23 along the length direction of the frame 1. The water meter body is aligned with the support disk 23, and one pipe of the water meter is aligned with the limiting groove 241. The clamping jaw 4 is moved downward to release the water meter, so that the water meter body is placed on the support disk 23, and the water meter pipe is placed in the support groove, completing the preliminary placement of the water meter. Then, the pneumatic rotary cylinder 25 drives the pressing block 22 to rotate to above the support disk 23, and drives the pressing block 22 to approach the support disk 23 along the height direction until it presses against the upper surface of the water meter body, clamping the water meter firmly on the support disk 23 and completing the fixation of the water meter. Finally, the first cylinder 21 drives the cutter head 211 to approach the water meter pipe for processing operation.
[0046] The water meter is automatically clamped from the sorting platform 3 by the clamping jaw 4, moved to above the support disk 23, and the water meter is placed by aligning it with the support disk 23 and the limiting groove 241, eliminating the need for personnel to place the water meters one by one, thus improving the processing efficiency. The water meter is transferred from the sorting platform 3 to the processing platform 2 by the clamping jaw 4, and then the cutter head 211 is controlled by the cylinder to process the water meter. There is no need for personnel to put their hands into the working area close to the cutter head 211, ensuring processing safety. The pressing block 22 presses the water meter body tightly on the support disk 23, restricting the up and down movement of the water meter in the height direction. The water meter pipe extends into and is placed in the limiting groove 241. The limiting groove 241 not only supports the water meter pipe in the height direction, but also restricts the rotation of the water meter in the circumferential direction, helping to achieve reliable fixation of the water meter.
