Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of smart energy meter production equipment, and in particular relates to a smart energy meter destacking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of smart meters, in order to improve space utilization, it is usually necessary to stack and destacking the turnover containers. Traditional stacking and destacking methods generally use robotic arms, robotic hands, or manual methods for stacking. During destacking, robotic arms or robotic hands are used to destacking, or mechanical grippers integrated into the housing can be used to lift the turnover boxes, turnover frames, and other turnover containers on top, and push the turnover containers at the bottom to the conveying mechanism to complete the destacking. In this process, the mechanical grippers integrated into the housing also need to be guided by the lifting drive to lift and lower the stacked turnover containers. There are many drive mechanisms involved, which are prone to failure during destacking. Moreover, with the above destacking methods, it is not convenient to configure the stacked turnover containers with limit mechanisms. Repeated lifting and lowering can easily cause the stacked turnover containers to tilt or even collapse, resulting in collision damage to the electricity meter. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a smart electricity meter destacking device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a smart energy meter destacking device, comprising a housing, multiple support frames and a push-out mechanism;

[0005] The housing has an internal receiving chamber, which forms a limiting cavity at the top and a pushing cavity at the bottom along the height direction. The front and rear sides of the pushing cavity are respectively provided with a discharge port and a pushing port. A conveying mechanism is provided at the discharge port. Limiting guide rails are respectively provided on the two opposite side walls of the limiting cavity adjacent to the discharge port and the pushing port.

[0006] Multiple carrier frames are stacked sequentially along the height direction in the ejection cavity and the limiting cavity, and the corresponding side walls of the carrier frames are provided with slots that are adapted to slide with the limiting guide rail;

[0007] The ejection mechanism includes a support platform located at the ejection cavity's push port and an ejection unit located on the support platform. The ejection unit includes a telescopic drive and a push block located at the telescopic end of the telescopic drive. The top of the push block consists of a support section and a guide ramp from back to front. The support working surface of the support section is on the same horizontal plane as the top surface of the carrier frame located in the ejection cavity. The highest point of the guide ramp is connected to the end of the support section. During the ejection process of the carrier frame in the ejection cavity, after the support section enters the ejection cavity, it supports the carrier frame above, ensuring the stability of the stacked carrier frames. As the push block gradually exits from the ejection cavity, after the support section exits the ejection cavity, the carrier frame falls along the limiting guide rail by its own weight. At this time, the guide ramp gradually exiting the ejection cavity guides the carrier frame to fall smoothly.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the ejection cavity is provided with multiple sets of support rollers, which are arranged sequentially at intervals in a back-to-forward direction to facilitate the ejection of the carrier frame from the ejection cavity and reduce friction with the bottom of the ejection cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the supporting working surface of the supporting section of the pusher block is provided with multiple rotating rollers, which are arranged at intervals in a direction from back to front.

[0010] Furthermore, the top surface of the carrier frame is equipped with multiple sets of sliding rollers, which are located on both sides of the slot. The working direction of the sliding rollers is the same as that of the rotating rollers. During the process of the carrier frame being unstacked and pushed out, the rotating rollers and sliding rollers reduce the friction between the pushed-out carrier frame and the carrier frame above it, making it easier and less strenuous to push out.

[0011] Furthermore, the rear side of the housing is open, and a support structure is provided at the bottom of the housing, which is suitable for supporting the housing.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows: The smart energy meter destacking device proposed in this utility model, by setting a limiting guide rail and a carrier frame adapted to the limiting guide rail in the limiting cavity of the housing, allows the carrier frame to be stably stacked and stored in the housing; the carrier frame located in the ejection cavity can be ejected from the push port. At this time, the upper carrier frame is limited by the limiting guide rail, ensuring that the carrier frame is ejected one by one, realizing the gradual destacking of the carrier frame from bottom to top; there is no need to repeatedly lift and lower the stacked carrier frames;

[0013] With the pusher block in place, when the carrier frame is pushed out, the support section enters the push-out cavity and, together with the gradually pushed-out carrier frame, supports the carrier frames stacked above, so that the carrier frames above remain stable during destabilization. When the pusher block retracts and resets, after the support section exits the push-out cavity, the carrier frame falls along the limit guide rail under its own weight, and the guide ramp guides the carrier frame to fall gradually as it exits the push-out cavity.

Detailed Implementation

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0022] like Figures 1-4As shown, a smart energy meter destacking device comprises three parts: a housing 1, multiple support frames 8, and a pushing mechanism. The housing 1 has an internal receiving chamber, which forms an upper limiting cavity 2 and a lower pushing cavity 3 along its height. The pushing cavity 3 has a discharge port 4 and a pushing port 5 on its front and rear sides, respectively. A conveying mechanism 6 is installed at the discharge port 4, which can be a belt conveyor, a roller conveyor, etc. A support structure 18 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, suitable for supporting the housing 1.

[0023] Limiting guide rails 7 are respectively provided on the two opposite side walls adjacent to the limiting cavity 2, the discharge port 4, and the push port 5. The carrying frame 8 is a turnover frame used to carry smart energy meters in batches. Multiple carrying frames 8 are stacked sequentially in the ejection cavity 3 and the limiting cavity 2 along the height direction. The corresponding side walls of the carrying frame 8 have slots 9 that slide and adapt to the limiting guide rails 7. The ejection cavity 3 is suitable for accommodating the bottommost carrying frame 8 of the stack. The rear side of the housing 1 can be open, and the carrying frames 8 are stacked by means of a robot. The robot grabs the carrying frame 8 and puts the stacked carrying frames 8 down from the top of the housing 1 along the limiting guide rails 7 to realize the stacking of the carrying frames 8. When destacking, the carrying frames 8 located in the ejection cavity 3 are not limited laterally by the limiting guide rails 7 and can be pushed out by the ejection mechanism to realize destacking.

[0024] In some preferred embodiments, the ejection mechanism includes a support platform 10 disposed at the push port 5 of the ejection cavity 3 and an ejection unit disposed on the support platform 10. The ejection unit includes a telescopic drive 11 and a push block 12 disposed at the telescopic end of the telescopic drive 11. The top of the push block 12 consists of a support section 13 and a guide ramp 14 from back to front. The support working surface of the support section 13 is on the same horizontal plane as the top surface of the carrier frame 8 located in the ejection cavity 3. The highest point of the guide ramp 14 is connected to the end of the support section 13. During the ejection process of the carrier frame 8 in the ejection cavity 3, after the support section 13 enters the ejection cavity 3, it supports the carrier frame 8 above, ensuring the stability (preventing it from falling) of the stacked carrier frames 8. When the push block 12 gradually exits from the ejection cavity 3, after the support section 13 exits the ejection cavity 3, the carrier frame 8 falls along the limiting guide rail 7 by its own weight. At this time, the guide ramp 14 gradually exits the ejection cavity 3 guides the carrier frame 8 to fall smoothly. The telescopic drive 11 can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod, and its control system can be integrated into the control box of the conveying mechanism 6 for centralized and orderly control.

[0025] Among them, the support working surface of the support section 13 of the pusher block 12 is provided with multiple rotating rollers 16. The rotating rollers 16 are arranged in sequence at intervals from back to front. The top surface of the bearing frame 8 is provided with multiple sets of sliding rollers 17. The multiple sets of sliding rollers 17 are located on both sides of the slot 9. The working direction of the sliding rollers 17 is the same as the working direction of the rotating rollers 16. During the process of the bearing frame 8 being unstacked and pushed out, the rotating rollers 16 and sliding rollers 17 reduce the friction between the pushed-out bearing frame 8 and the bearing frame 8 above it, making it easier and less strenuous to push out.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, multiple sets of support rollers 15 are provided on the bottom wall of the ejection cavity 3. The support rollers 15 are arranged sequentially at intervals in the direction from back to front, so as to facilitate the ejection of the carrier frame 8 from the ejection cavity 3 and reduce the friction with the bottom of the ejection cavity 3.

[0027] The specific usage is as follows: During destacking, the telescopic drive 11 is activated. The telescopic end of the telescopic drive 11 pushes the pusher block 12 from the pusher port 5 into the ejection cavity 3. The pusher block 12 gradually ejects the carrier frame 8 (the lowest carrier frame 8 in the stack) located in the ejection cavity 3. After the support section 13 of the pusher block 12 enters the ejection cavity 3, it is dynamically supported at the bottom of the upper carrier frame 8 by the pushing operation of the telescopic drive 11, so that the upper carrier frame 8 is always located in the limiting cavity 2. After the bottom carrier frame 8 is ejected to the conveying mechanism 6, the telescopic end of the telescopic drive 11 retracts and resets. After the support section 13 of the pusher block 12 exits the ejection cavity 3, the guide ramp 14 gradually exits the ejection cavity 3. At this time, the carrier frame 8 located in the limiting cavity 2 falls along the limiting guide rail 7 and gradually slides down to the ejection cavity 3 under the action of the guide ramp 14, waiting to be ejected. The above process is repeated to complete the stable destacking of the carrier frame 8.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In summary, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
