Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric energy meters, in particular to a pallet used for transporting electric energy meters. Background Art

[0002] Energy meter transfer pallets are logistics vehicles designed specifically for securing, protecting, and circulating energy meters during transportation, storage, and assembly. Typically made of materials such as PVC plastic, their surfaces feature contoured cavities that match the meter's shape, ensuring stability during transportation and preventing damage from collision, vibration, or stacking. These lightweight, reusable pallets are widely used in the manufacturing, testing, and distribution of energy meters, serving as a crucial auxiliary tool in the production process of modern smart meters.

[0003] However, existing energy meter transport pallets are mostly made of softer plastic or PVC. In actual use, when operators need to remove the energy meter from the pallet's contoured cavity, they often need to use their fingers to forcefully remove the meter because the cavity is designed to be too tight. This operation can easily cause the cavity to undergo permanent plastic deformation or edge tearing due to repeated stress, resulting in a decrease in the fit accuracy between the cavity and the energy meter. As the number of uses increases, the pallet's positioning and protection functions for the energy meter gradually weaken, which not only shortens the service life of the pallet itself, but is also likely to cause collisions between energy meters during subsequent transportation due to unstable fixation, increasing the risk of product damage.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a pallet for transporting electric energy meters to solve the defects in the existing technology is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To this end, the utility model provides a tray for transporting electric energy meters to solve the problem in the prior art that the electric energy meter needs to be picked up with fingers due to the overly tight cavity design, which leads to a shortened service life of the tray and reduced protection performance.

[0015] A spring is arranged between the limiting block and the supporting plate, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting plate.

[0016] Further, a stop slope is integrally formed in the inner limiting slot.

[0017] Further, it further comprises:

[0018] A pair of grooves are arranged near the sidewall at the bottom of the cavity, and the depth of the groove is less than the depth of the inner groove;

[0019] A plurality of rubber pieces are connected to the sidewall of the cavity at one end, and the other end of the rubber piece is connected to the bottom wall of the groove.

[0034] The embodiments of the present application will be described below by specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the content disclosed in the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-6The utility model discloses a tray for electric energy meter transfer, and the tray comprises a tray body, a plurality of convex edges and a plurality of inner grooves. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the tray body 1 is provided with a plurality of cavities 2 matched with the shape of the electric energy meter at the top, a plurality of convex edges 3 are arranged on the inner side wall of the cavity 2 and are distributed along the contour of the cavity 2, the inner groove 4 is arranged at the bottom of the cavity 2, and the pop-up assembly 5 is arranged at the bottom of the inner groove 4.

[0036] In the embodiment, the number of the cavities 2 can be adjusted according to requirements, and the number is taken as an example of 12, i.e. 4 in one row and 3 rows in total. The tray body 1 is made of PVC material, which is relatively soft and has a certain elasticity, so that the collision can be absorbed to protect the electric energy meter.

[0037] The arrangement positions of the tray body 1, the convex edges 3 and the inner groove 4 are shown in the figures. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The convex edges 3 are in direct contact with the side wall of the electric energy meter, are tightly pressed around the electric energy meter through deformation, and are fixed through interference fit. The plurality of convex edges 3 are distributed around the contour of the cavity 2 and are fixed around the electric energy meter. Through the arrangement of the convex edges 3, the actual contact area between the inner side wall of the cavity 2 and the shell of the electric energy meter is reduced while the effective limiting and buffering of the electric energy meter are ensured, which not only reduces the frictional resistance during taking and placing, makes the taking and placing process smoother, but also effectively reduces the wear of the cavity 2 caused by friction after long-term use, better maintains the original profiling accuracy of the cavity 2, and ensures the stability and protection during the transfer process.

[0038] The pop-up assembly 5 acts on one end of the electric energy meter, and when the electric energy meter is taken out, one end of the electric energy meter is pushed out of the cavity 2, so that the electric energy meter is in an inclined posture in the cavity 2, and the operator can take out the electric energy meter by holding the end pushed out. When the electric energy meter is stored, the electric energy meter is pressed into the cavity 2, and the top of the pop-up assembly 5 is pressed down to complete the fixing; when the electric energy meter is taken out, the electric energy meter is continuously pressed down, and when the preset position is reached, the lower part of the electric energy meter is pushed out by the pop-up assembly 5.

[0039] Through the arrangement of the pop-up assembly 5, the simple pop-up function of the electric energy meter is realized, and the operator does not need to pick the electric energy meter by hand, so that the physical damage such as plastic deformation and tearing of the soft cavity 2 caused by the hand is fundamentally avoided, the service life of the tray body 1 is greatly prolonged, and the cost of consumables is reduced.

[0040] As shown in the figures, Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the ejecting assembly 5 comprises a limiting block 51, a limiting column 53 and a spring 55. The limiting block 51 is arranged at the bottom of the inner groove 4. A limiting groove 52 is formed on the sidewall of the limiting block 51. The limiting column 53 is L-shaped. One end of the limiting column 53 is slidingly connected in the limiting groove 52. The other end of the limiting column 53 is hingedly connected with a supporting plate 54. The spring 55 is arranged between the limiting block 51 and the supporting plate 54. One end of the spring 55 is fixedly connected at the top of the limiting block 51. The other end of the spring 55 is fixedly connected at the bottom of the supporting plate 54.

[0041] In the embodiment, the specific shape of the limiting groove 52 is as shown in Figure 5 The limiting column 53 can produce two different connection states by cooperating with the limiting groove 52, i.e. fixed at the lower part of the limiting groove 52 and lifted to the upper part of the limiting groove 52, which is realized by the shape of the limiting groove 52.

[0042] It is worth noting that the supporting plate 54 should always be above the inner groove 4. When the electric energy meter is stored, the supporting plate 54 is at the lowest position. The height of the supporting plate 54 above the inner groove 4 should be greater than the height that the limiting column 53 needs to drop when it passes over the lower part of the limiting groove 52.

[0043] By arranging the limiting block 51, the limiting column 53, the supporting plate 54 and the spring 55, the operation of pressing downward to make the lower part of the electric energy meter pop out of the cavity 2 is realized. The assembly can be hidden in the inner groove 4 in the non-working state, which does not affect the normal placement and stacking of the electric meter. When the meter is needed, a uniform and vertical jacking force can be provided to ensure that the electric meter is smoothly ejected, which is labor-saving and efficient.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6 The inner part of the limiting groove 52 is integrally formed with a stop slope 56. In the embodiment, the shape of the stop slope 56 is as shown in Figure 6 When the limiting column 53 slides to the lower part of the limiting groove 52, the stop slope 56 can help the limiting column 53 fix the moving direction. When the limiting column 53 moves away from the upper part of the limiting groove 52, the limiting column 53 will produce a slight deformation.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The recess 6 is arranged in pairs and formed at the bottom of the cavity 2 near the sidewall. The depth of the recess 6 is less than the depth of the inner groove 4. The rubber sheet 7 is connected at one end to the sidewall of the cavity 2 and at the other end to the bottom wall of the recess 6.

[0046] In the embodiment, the arrangement positions of the recess 6 and the rubber sheet 7 are as shown in Figure 2As shown, the rubber sheet 7 is several, set in the groove 6 between two convex edges 3 position. The role of the rubber sheet 7, in the electric energy meter into the cavity 2, to the groove 6 above, play a certain role in the electric energy meter to continue to block down. The reason for this is, the tray body 1 is used in multiple layers of stacked, will produce a certain pressure on the lower layer of electric energy meter, in order to prevent the pressure to make the lower electric energy meter pop out, the rubber sheet 7 play a certain resistance, in the stack, prevent excessive pressure trigger pop out component 5. It is worth noting that the force of the rubber sheet 7 is limited, in some cases, still have part of the pop out component 5 is triggered, re-fix the electric energy meter can.

[0047] Although the utility model has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the utility model, all belong to the scope of the utility model claimed.
