[0002] Ultrasonic gas meter performance testing is a crucial production process for ensuring the functionality of the metering module and valves. It's crucial for accurate metering and gas control. Testing the metering module and valve functions typically involves two processes: manual inspection tooling and valve test tooling. This requires testers to repeatedly remove and reload the meter, creating tedious and fatigue-prone tasks and high labor costs. Furthermore, the product testing process lacks effective test records, hindering product traceability. With the increasing adoption of ultrasonic gas meter technology and a substantial increase in market sales, the current labor shortage and difficulty recruiting workers necessitate the use of automated assembly systems to achieve a shift in production methods to machines replacing humans.

[0003] Defects and shortcomings of the existing technology: The traditional metering module function test uses a manual homemade tooling, and the test process is purely manual, and no valid test records are generated. In addition, the valve function is tested by the test tooling, and the test operation is manual picking and placing, and the test data does not generate valid test records. The original metering module and valve function are both manually tested in two stations, in which the leads are repeatedly connected and plugged in, which wastes working hours.
