Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas meter cutting pliers, specifically to an efficient automated device for disassembling gas meters. Background Technology

[0002] Gas meters are typically fitted with a casing. After installation, gas meters must be inspected, and those that fail to meet standards need to be disassembled. Current technologies automate the cutting process by using automatic cutting pliers instead of manual cutting. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN214640557U, authorized on November 9, 2021, discloses an automatic cutting pliers for disassembling gas meters. This includes a fixed base and a bracket mounted on the fixed base. Its features also include a cutting cylinder mounted on the fixed base and a cutting arm assembly with movable ends mounted on the bracket and the cutting cylinder. A cylinder fixing plate is also mounted on the fixed base. The cutting cylinder is mounted on the fixed base via the cylinder fixing plate. A cutting cylinder connecting shaft is mounted on the cutting cylinder. The cutting arm assembly on the bracket is connected to the cutting cylinder via the cutting cylinder connecting shaft. A connecting shaft support assembly adapted to the cutting cylinder connecting shaft is also mounted on the fixed base.

[0003] In the above technical solution, the automatic cutting pliers are set horizontally. However, the connection point in the middle of the gas meter casing is larger than the size of the gas in the gas meter casing. When the gas meter casing is placed horizontally, it cannot be placed stably. Therefore, a worker needs to fix the casing and lift it to the cutting arm to cut it, which increases the labor intensity of the worker and reduces the efficiency of casing cutting. To address this, a high-efficiency automated device for gas meter casing removal is proposed to improve cutting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the shearing arm is also equipped with a shearing blade.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed base is also equipped with several bolt adjustment seats that can adjust the height and level of the fixed base.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by vertically mounting the shearing arm on the fixed base, the housing can be placed vertically during shearing, which facilitates the placement of the housing and improves the shearing efficiency;

[0013] By using a limit seat to limit the shell, the drive source drives the limit seat to move the shell close to the cutting pliers for cutting and then disengages it from the cutting pliers after cutting, thus achieving automated shell cutting, improving cutting efficiency, and preventing workers from directly contacting the cutting pliers, thereby improving safety.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0019] Participation Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, this embodiment presents an efficient automated device for disassembling gas meters, including a fixed base 1, a shearing arm 2 movably mounted on the fixed base 1, and a shearing power source 3 for driving the shearing arm 2. The shearing arm 2 is characterized by being vertically mounted on the fixed base 1; a limiting seat 4 and a drive source 401 for driving the limiting seat 4 are slidably mounted on the fixed base 1; the drive source 401 can be a cylinder or an electric actuator; limiting frames 402 for limiting the housing are symmetrically mounted on the limiting seat 4. By vertically mounting the shearing arm 2 on the fixed base 1, the housing can be placed vertically during shearing, thus facilitating the placement of the housing and improving shearing efficiency. By using the limiting seat 4 to limit the housing, the drive source 401 drives the limiting seat 4 to bring the housing close to the shearing pliers for shearing and then disengages it after shearing, achieving automated shearing, improving shearing efficiency, and preventing workers from directly contacting the shearing pliers, thus improving safety.
