[0003] In the production and assembly production line of the electric meter, a large number of plastic shells need to be lifted and turned over to facilitate installation and detection. However, the existing assembly system has obvious technical defects in this link, which is specifically shown in the following aspects:

[0004] First, the existing electric meter assembly system does not have a device that can simultaneously turn over and lift the plastic shell of the electric meter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the utility model, and in addition, the forms of each structure described in the following embodiments are only examples, and the utility model is not limited to each structure described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 A plastic shell overturning device mainly comprises a machine table 1, a lifting mechanism 2, an overturning mechanism 3 and a plastic shell tray 4 and the like, and the structural composition and connection relationship between each part are described in detail as follows.

[0022] The machine table 1 is the main support structure of the whole device, and the bottom can be provided with a leg 11 for fixed installation or a universal wheel 13 for mobile installation, so as to select the fixed or mobile mode of the device according to actual needs. The machine table 1 provides a stable installation platform for the lifting mechanism 2 and the overturning mechanism 3.

[0023] The lifting mechanism 2 comprises a lead screw 21, a nut 22, a lifting motor 23, a synchronous belt 24, a synchronous belt 24 wheel, a baffle 25, a lifting platform 26 and the like. The lead screw 21 is fixedly installed inside the machine table 1 and is arranged in the vertical direction. The nut 22 is connected with the lead screw 21 through threads and is installed at the rear side of the baffle 25. The lifting motor 23 is fixedly installed inside the machine table 1 and is connected with the lead screw 21 through the synchronous belt 24 and the synchronous belt 24 wheel to drive the lead screw 21 to rotate. The synchronous belt 24 and the synchronous belt 24 wheel are used for transmitting the power of the lifting motor 23 to the lead screw 21 to realize the rotation of the lead screw 21. The baffle 25 is slidingly connected to the guide rail on the machine table 1 and vertically moves along the guide rail through the sliding block. The lifting platform 26 is fixedly connected to the baffle 25 and vertically moves together with the baffle 25. The lifting motor 23 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate through the synchronous belt 24 and the synchronous belt 24 wheel, and the threaded connection between the lead screw 21 and the nut 22 makes the nut 22 move up and down along the lead screw 21, thereby driving the baffle 25 and the lifting platform 26 to vertically move.

[0024] The flipping mechanism 3 includes a flipping motor 31, a rotating shaft 32, a bearing seat 33 and other parts. The flipping motor 31 is installed on the lifting platform 26 to provide power for the flipping action. The rotating shaft 32 connects the flipping motor 31 and the plastic shell tray 4 to transmit the power of the flipping motor 31. The bearing seat 33 is installed on the lifting platform 26, and a bearing is installed inside. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the lifting platform 26 through the bearing to ensure the smooth progress of the flipping action. Connection relationship The flipping motor 31 is connected to the plastic shell tray 4 through the rotating shaft 32. When the flipping motor 31 is started, the plastic shell tray 4 is driven to perform a flipping action through the rotating shaft 32. The design of the bearing seat 33 and the bearing makes the flipping action more stable and reliable.

[0025] The plastic case tray 4 actually supports the plastic case and is typically designed to fit the shape and size of the plastic case. The plastic case tray 4 is connected to the flip motor 31 via the rotating shaft 32 of the flip mechanism 3, allowing it to flip in response to the movement of the flip mechanism 3. The plastic case tray 4 is placed on the lifting platform 26 and moves as the lifting platform 26 rises and falls.

[0026] This plastic case flipping device utilizes a platform 1 for stable support, a lifting mechanism 2 for vertical movement of the plastic case, a flipping mechanism 3 for flipping the case, and a plastic case tray 4 for carrying the case throughout the flipping and lifting process. The rational structural design and connections between these components ensure the stability and reliability of the device, improving the efficiency and quality of meter assembly.

[0027] The plastic shell flipping device of this utility model is mainly used to realize the lifting and flipping of the plastic shell of the electric meter during the assembly process, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and quality. The entire working process is completed by the lifting mechanism 2 and the flipping mechanism 3 in coordination. Its working process is as follows:

[0028] Several plastic cases are placed on a plastic case tray 4, which is connected to the rotating shaft 32 of the turning mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 2 is in its initial position, with the lifting platform 26 connected to the baffle 25 and located at the lowest point of the machine 1. The turning mechanism 3 is not turned over, and the plastic case tray 4 remains horizontal.

[0029] When the plastic shell needs to be raised or lowered, the lifting motor 23 is activated. This drives the screw 21 to rotate via the synchronous belt 24 and its pulleys. Because the nut 22 is threadedly connected to the screw 21, the rotation of the screw 21 translates into vertical movement of the nut 22. Nut 22 is fixed to the baffle 25, so the baffle 25 and the lifting platform 26 move vertically along with the nut 22.

[0030] As needed, the lifting platform 26 can be raised to a designated position for the next operation.

[0031] When the plastic shell reaches the designated height, the lifting motor 23 is deactivated. The flipping motor 31 is activated, driving the plastic shell tray 4 via the rotating shaft 32 to begin flipping. During the flipping process, the rotating shaft 32 rotates smoothly within the bearings within the bearing seat 33, ensuring a smooth and reliable flipping motion. The plastic shell tray 4 gradually flips from a horizontal position to a designated angle, such as 180 degrees, completing the flipping motion.

[0032] After the flipping action is completed, the lifting motor 23 can be restarted to lower the plastic shell to its initial position as needed. The flipping motor 31 is stopped to keep the plastic shell tray 4 in the flipped position or return it to a horizontal state. The operator can remove the plastic shell for the next assembly or inspection work.

[0033] The lifting and flipping actions are achieved through motor drive, which reduces manual operation and improves work efficiency. The equipment structure is simple and clear, and the operator only needs to control the start and stop of the motor to complete the entire working process.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
