Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of identification tooling, in particular to identification tooling at both ends of a vertical shaft used for installing a gas meter. Background Art

[0002] The working mode of the diaphragm gas meter is that the gas enters the cavity and pushes the diaphragm in the cavity. The diaphragm pushes the vertical shaft to rotate in place to drive its counting device. Therefore, the assembly requirements of the vertical shaft are relatively high.

[0003] During the production process of gas meters, the vertical shaft needs to be installed. Manual installation is inefficient, and machine installation cannot identify the flat end and spline end of the vertical shaft, which can easily lead to installation failure and affect the normal production of gas meters. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art and proposes the following technical solutions:

[0005] The gas meter is installed with identification tooling at both ends of the vertical shaft, including a material box, a stand and a recovery box. A loading mechanism is installed inside the material box, and an identification component is installed on the stand through a rotating mechanism. One end of the identification component is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor, and the outside of the material box is fixedly connected to a storage table. The center of the storage table groove and the point of rotation of the identification component are located in the same plane, and a pushing mechanism is installed on the side of the storage table away from the identification component.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the identification member includes a large head and a small head, the small head is connected to the pressure sensor, and a rounded corner is provided at the connection between the large head and the small head.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism includes a third driving member fixed on the stand, the third driving member is fixedly connected to a mounting block, and the mounting block is assembled with the identification member.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the loading mechanism includes a loading plate, which is slidably installed on the inner wall of the material box on the side where the storage table is provided. The side of the loading plate away from the inner wall of the material box is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and a material guide plate is fixedly installed inside the material box. One side of the material guide plate is in conflict with the side connected to the connecting block, and a driving part is fixedly connected between the connecting block and the material guide plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the pushing mechanism includes a second driving member fixed on the storage table, and the second driving member is fixedly connected to a push rod adapted to the groove of the storage table.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] 1. The utility model pushes the vertical shaft into the interior of the identification part through the pushing mechanism. When the flat end of the vertical shaft contacts the probe of the pressure sensor, the vertical shaft can be pulled out from the interior of the identification part by the robot and installed in the gas meter. When the rotating mechanism drives the identification part to rotate to the top, the vertical shaft has not yet contacted the probe of the pressure sensor, and it can be identified that the end of the vertical shaft is placed incorrectly. The vertical shaft is placed in a recycling box by the robot and waits for rearrangement. In this way, it can quickly identify whether the two ends of the vertical shaft are placed incorrectly, thereby improving the production efficiency of the gas meter.

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gas meter installation vertical shaft two-end identification tooling includes a material box 1, a stand 9 and a recovery box 14. The stand 9 is located between the material box 1 and the recovery box 14. A loading mechanism is installed inside the material box 1 for conveying the vertical shaft. The stand 9 is installed with an identification part 12 through a rotating mechanism. One end of the identification part 12 is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor 13. The model of the pressure sensor 13 is preferably: PX192-150GI. A storage table 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the material box 1. The center of the circle of the groove of the storage table 6 and the rotation point of the identification part 12 are located in the same plane. The vertical shaft is conveyed to the groove of the storage table 6 by the loading mechanism. A pushing mechanism is installed on the side of the storage table 6 away from the identification part 12 for pushing the vertical shaft in the groove of the storage table 6 into the interior of the identification part 12.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the identification part 12 includes a large head and a small head, the small head is connected to the pressure sensor 13, and a rounded corner is provided at the connection between the large head and the small head. The two ends of the vertical shaft are respectively end A and end B, where end A is the flat end and end B is the end with a spline groove.

[0021] Specifically, the vertical shaft located inside the material box 1 will be pushed into the groove of the storage table 6 by the loading mechanism, and only one vertical shaft will be pushed into the groove of the storage table 6 each time the material is loaded, and then one end of the vertical shaft located in the groove of the storage table 6 will be pushed into the interior of the identification part 12 by the pushing mechanism. When the A end of the vertical shaft enters the interior of the identification part 12, when the A end of the vertical shaft is parallel to the small head of the identification part 12, the A end of the vertical shaft will be directly inserted and finally come into contact with the probe of the pressure sensor 13. When the A end of the vertical shaft is misaligned with the small head of the identification part 12, since the connection between the large head and the small head of the identification part 12 is provided with a rounded corner, the vertical shaft is automatically rotated by the thrust of the pushing mechanism, so that the A end of the vertical shaft is parallel to the small head of the identification part 12. The vertical shaft is in a row state and will eventually contact the probe of the pressure sensor 13, thereby identifying that the end of the vertical shaft is placed correctly. The rotating mechanism drives the identification part 12 to rotate ninety degrees, and rotates the vertical shaft to the bottom of the manipulator. The vertical shaft is installed in the gas meter by the manipulator. When the B end of the vertical shaft enters the interior of the identification part 12, since the B end is not flat, the B end cannot enter the small head of the identification part 12 and cannot contact the probe of the pressure sensor 13. When the rotating mechanism drives the identification part 12 to rotate ninety degrees and rotates the vertical shaft to the bottom of the manipulator, if the pressure sensor 13 has not detected any object, an alarm will be issued to control the manipulator to put the vertical shaft into the recycling box 14 and wait for rearrangement.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas meter is installed with identification tooling at both ends of the vertical shaft. Compared with the first embodiment, the rotating mechanism of this embodiment includes a driving member 3 10 fixed on the vertical frame 9. The driving member 3 10 is preferably a servo motor. The driving member 3 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 11, and the mounting block 11 is assembled with the identification member 12.

[0024] Specifically, when the vertical shaft is inserted into the interior of the identification part 12, the driving part 3 10 will drive the identification part 12 and the pressure sensor 13 to rotate counterclockwise ninety degrees through the mounting block 11. When the manipulator takes out the vertical shaft, the driving part 3 10 will drive the identification part 12 to rotate clockwise ninety degrees and return to its original position.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding plate 3, which is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the material box 1 on the side where the storage platform 6 is provided. The side of the feeding plate 3 away from the inner wall of the material box 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 4, and a guide plate 2 is fixedly installed inside the material box 1. The guide plate 2 is tilted, and the side close to the feeding plate 3 is lower. A bevel is set inside the feeding plate 3, and the side close to the inner wall of the material box 1 is the bottom end, and the side close to the guide plate 2 is the high end, so that only one vertical axis can enter the bevel of the feeding plate 3, and one side of the guide plate 2 conflicts with the side connected to the connecting block 4, and a driving member 5 is fixedly connected between the connecting block 4 and the guide plate 2, and the driving member 5 is preferably a cylinder.

[0026] Specifically, the vertical shaft placed above the guide plate 2 will automatically roll to the oblique edge of the upper material plate 3 by gravity, and the driving member 5 will drive the loading plate 3 to rise through the connecting block 4. Since only one vertical shaft can be stored at the oblique edge of the loading plate 3, the rising of the loading plate 3 can only drive one vertical shaft to rise. When the loading plate 3 reaches the opening of the material box 1, the vertical shaft will automatically roll into the groove of the storage table 6.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the pushing mechanism includes a second driving member 7 fixed on the storage table 6. The second driving member 7 is preferably a cylinder. The second driving member 7 is fixedly connected to a push rod 8 that is adapted to the groove of the storage table 6.

[0028] Specifically, when the vertical shaft enters the groove of the storage table 6 and the pressure sensor 13, the identification member 12 and the push rod 8 are simultaneously located on the same axis, the second driving member 7 is started and the vertical shaft is pushed into the interior of the identification member 12 for identification through the push rod 8.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same.
