Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter testing technology, specifically to a dedicated wiring device for a production line that is compatible with the testing of multiple electricity meters. Background Technology

[0002] State Grid electricity meters undergo testing before leaving the factory, using a terminal block to connect the meter to a testing device. This testing is typically performed on an assembly line. The terminal block is fixedly installed on the side of the assembly line, and the meters are transported along it. When a meter reaches the terminal block, the different pins of the terminal block are inserted into the meter's wiring holes, thus electrically connecting the meter to the testing device for testing. Current State Grid electricity meters include various types, such as single-phase, three-phase, concentrator, and dedicated transformer data acquisition terminals, each requiring a different terminal block.

[0003] On existing testing production lines, the same type of terminal block is usually installed directly on the side of the production line. Therefore, when testing different types of energy meters, it is necessary to manually remove the existing terminal blocks on the production line and replace them with the required type of terminal block. This process is quite troublesome and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a dedicated wiring device for assembly lines that is compatible with the detection of multiple types of electricity meters.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0006] A dedicated wiring device for a production line compatible with various energy meter detection systems includes multiple interconnected wiring units, each wiring unit comprising a linear conveyor belt mounted on a frame and an auxiliary wiring mechanism;

[0007] The linear conveyor belt carries a tray, on which an electricity meter is placed;

[0008] The auxiliary wiring mechanism includes two lifting frames respectively located on both sides of the linear conveyor belt. The lifting frames are driven to rise and fall by a lifting mechanism. Multiple wiring terminals corresponding to the tray are installed on the lifting frames at different height positions. The wiring terminals include single-function wiring terminals and multi-function wiring terminals. Multiple single-function wiring terminals and multi-function wiring terminals are pushed horizontally by a pushing mechanism for connection to the electricity meter.

[0009] The preferred technical solution is that a single-function terminal block can only connect to one type of electricity meter, while a multi-function terminal block can be modified to connect to multiple types of electricity meters.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a shelf plate that moves horizontally on a lifting frame. The shelf plate is moved by a pushing cylinder, and the single-function terminal block and the multi-function terminal block are located on the shelf plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder. Both sides of the lifting frame are mounted vertically on the frame via vertical slide rails and slide vertically. The lifting cylinder is mounted on the frame and located above the lifting frame. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the lifting frame with its extension rod pointing downwards.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the tray is provided with multiple placement slots that match the electricity meter. The multiple placement slots are arranged in two rows and correspond to the lifting frames on both sides respectively.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are:

[0014] This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to use. The lifting frame rises and falls under the drive of the lifting mechanism, thereby adjusting the required single-function and multi-function wiring terminals to the same height as the tray. The electricity meter is neatly placed on the tray and then transported on the conveyor. After the tray is transported between two lifting frames, the single-function and multi-function wiring terminals move toward the corresponding electricity meter under the push of the pushing mechanism to connect to the corresponding electricity meter. Since multiple single-function and multi-function wiring terminals are set on the lifting frame, different wiring terminals can be switched online to connect to the corresponding electricity meter by moving the lifting frame, avoiding manual replacement of wiring terminals and speeding up work efficiency.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] A dedicated wiring device for a production line compatible with multiple energy meter detection includes multiple interconnected wiring units, each wiring unit including a linear conveyor belt 2 mounted on a frame 1 and an auxiliary wiring mechanism;

[0020] The linear conveyor belt 2 carries a tray 6, which is used to place an electricity meter.

[0021] The auxiliary wiring mechanism includes two lifting frames 3 respectively located on both sides of the linear conveyor belt 2. The lifting frames 3 are driven to rise and fall by a lifting mechanism. Multiple wiring terminals 10 corresponding to the tray 6 are installed on the lifting frames 3 at different height positions. The wiring terminals are used to connect the energy meters on the production line and the instruments for testing the energy meters. The wiring terminals 10 include single-function wiring terminals and multi-function wiring terminals. Multiple single-function wiring terminals and multi-function wiring terminals are pushed horizontally by a pushing mechanism for wiring with the energy meter 11.

[0022] The lifting frame 3 is raised and lowered by the lifting mechanism, thereby adjusting the required single-function and multi-function terminals to the same height as the tray 6. The electricity meter 11 is neatly placed on the tray 6 and then transported on the conveyor 2. After the tray 6 is transported between the two lifting frames 3, the single-function and multi-function terminals move towards the corresponding electricity meter under the push mechanism to connect with the corresponding electricity meter. Since the lifting frame 3 is equipped with multiple single-function and multi-function terminals, the movement of the lifting frame 3 allows for online switching of different terminals to connect to the corresponding electricity meter, avoiding manual replacement of terminals and speeding up work efficiency.

[0023] In a preferred technical solution, a single-function terminal block connects only one type of energy meter, while a multi-function terminal block, through modification, can connect to multiple types of energy meters. The multi-function energy meter is based on existing technology, such as the "Auxiliary Wiring Device for Detecting a Novel Integrated Terminal and Energy Controller" (patent number CN216979140U). Through modification of the wiring device, a single wiring device can connect both the integrated terminal and the energy controller, achieving multi-functional connection with a single device. Specifically, by installing multiple single-function and multi-function terminal blocks of different models, it can be used to connect compatible single-phase 2013 and 2022 IoT energy meters, three-phase 2013 inductor-type, direct-type, and 2022 IoT energy meters, 2013 concentrator type I and terminal type III, 2022 integrated terminals, 2022 terminal type III, and energy controllers.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a shelf 7 that moves horizontally on the lifting frame 3. The shelf 7 is mounted on the lifting frame 3 and slides via a horizontal slide rail 8. The shelf 7 is pushed and moved by a pushing cylinder 9. The single-function terminal block and the multi-function terminal block are located on the shelf 7.

[0025] The cylinder pushes the shelf 7 to move horizontally, thereby moving the single-function and multi-function terminals on the shelf 7 toward the energy meter on the tray 6 for wiring.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 5. Both sides of the lifting frame 3 are mounted on the frame 1 and slide vertically via vertical slide rails 4. The lifting cylinder 5 is mounted on the frame 1 and located above the lifting frame 3. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 3 with its extension rod pointing downwards.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the tray 6 has multiple placement slots that match the electricity meter. These slots are arranged in two rows and correspond to the lifting frames 3 on both sides. The electricity meter is placed in one of the slots, which limits its movement and prevents it from sliding on the tray 6.
