TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric energy meter, concretely relates to a lifting mechanism of electric energy meter circuit board detection equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the circuit board detection of electric energy meter generally relies on manual operation. The detection personnel need to manually place the to-be-detected electric meter one by one into the corresponding position of the special detection tool, ensure that the detection contact thereof is accurately aligned with the probe on the tool, and then start the test program. This mode is complicated in procedure, low in positioning efficiency, and prone to poor contact due to human placement deviation, thereby affecting the test stability and accuracy. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the utility model wants to overcome the defects in the prior art, so as to provide a lifting mechanism of electric energy meter circuit board detection equipment with high test efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a lifting mechanism of electric energy meter circuit board detection equipment, which is arranged on the rack and is used for lifting the electric energy meter from an initial position on the conveying belt to a detection position separated from the conveying belt. The lifting mechanism comprises a lifting frame and a first cylinder for driving the lifting frame to move up and down. The lifting frame comprises a lifting plate arranged horizontally and abutting against the bottom of the electric energy meter, and a first baffle and a second baffle vertically arranged on the two sides of the lifting plate respectively. The first baffle can abut against the front side panel of the electric energy meter, and the second baffle can abut against the rear side panel of the electric energy meter. The top height of the first baffle is higher than that of the second baffle. When the front side panel of the electric energy meter abuts against the first baffle, the second baffle is located below the rear side panel of the electric energy meter, and the lifting plate maintains a certain distance from the bottom of the electric energy meter.
[0005] The second baffle is provided with a guide inclined surface.
[0006] A first rubber pad is fixed to the inner wall of the first baffle.
[0007] The lifting frame comprises a bottom plate, three groups of lifting plates, first baffles and second baffles arranged on the bottom plate and spaced along the length direction of the bottom plate, and the middle part of the bottom plate is connected with the first cylinder.
[0008] Further comprising: a lifting base provided with the first cylinder; four groups of guide assemblies comprising guide sleeves fixed to the lifting base and guide rods arranged at the four corners of the bottom plate, the guide rods move up and down along the guide sleeves.
[0009] It also includes: a gauge, which is equipped with multiple probes and conductive rods; and a second cylinder, connected to the gauge, for driving the gauge to move toward or away from the electricity meter.
[0010] The frame is also provided with a stop bar, which is located on the side of the energy meter away from the inspection tool.
[0011] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The lifting mechanism of the electricity meter circuit board testing equipment provided by this utility model, through the cooperation of the conveyor belt and the lifting mechanism, realizes the automated process of electricity meter from loading and positioning to lifting and testing, completely replacing manual placement and greatly improving testing efficiency; the lifting frame includes a horizontally arranged lifting plate that abuts against the bottom of the electricity meter, and a first baffle and a second baffle respectively vertically arranged on both sides of the lifting plate. The first baffle can abut against the front panel of the electricity meter, and the second baffle can abut against the rear panel of the electricity meter. The top height of the first baffle is higher than the top height of the second baffle. The electricity meter moves to its... When the front panel just abuts against the first baffle, the second baffle is located below the rear panel of the energy meter, and the lifting plate maintains a certain distance from the bottom of the energy meter. This allows the energy meter to reach the first baffle unobstructed during transport. During lifting, the lifting plate lifts the meter so that its rear side naturally rests against the second baffle, completing the final positioning. This means that the conveyor belt does not need to frequently start and stop to wait for the energy meter to arrive, and can maintain continuous operation to transport subsequent energy meters. In addition, since the entire positioning and lifting action only requires one cylinder to drive, there is no need to set up separate actuators for the front and rear limits and lifting, making the structure simpler.
[0013] 2. The lifting mechanism of the electricity meter circuit board testing equipment provided by this utility model has a guide slope that can guide the rear edge of the electricity meter to slide smoothly into the inner side of the second baffle, effectively preventing jamming or collision caused by slight deviation of the transmission stop position, making the lifting action smoother.
[0014] 3. The lifting mechanism of the electricity meter circuit board testing equipment provided by this utility model provides a reverse support force through the stop bar located on the back side of the meter when it is pressed by the testing fixture, preventing the meter from moving or shifting under the testing pressure. This ensures that the meter's position is absolutely fixed throughout the testing process, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the probe contact and the accuracy of the test results.

[0029] Example
[0030] This embodiment provides a lifting mechanism for an electricity meter circuit board testing device. The mechanism is mounted on a frame 1 and is used to lift the electricity meter from an initial position on the conveyor belt to a testing position separated from the conveyor belt. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting base 12, a lifting frame 5, and a first cylinder 6.
[0031] Two conveyor belts 2 are installed on the frame 1 for transporting the electricity meter 3.
[0032] The lifting base 12 is equipped with the first cylinder 6, and four sets of guide components are provided between the lifting base 12 and the lifting frame 5, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide assembly includes a guide sleeve 13 fixedly mounted on the lifting base 12, and guide rods 14 located at the four corners of the base plate 11. The guide rods 14 move up and down along the guide sleeve 13.
[0033] Lifting frame 5, such as Figure 4As shown, the device includes a base plate 11, and three sets of lifting plates 7, a first baffle 8, and a second baffle 9 disposed on the base plate 11 and spaced apart along its length. The middle part of the base plate 11 is connected to the first cylinder 6. The lifting plates 7 are horizontally arranged to abut against the bottom of the energy meter 3. The first baffle 8 and the second baffle 9 are respectively vertically arranged on both sides of the lifting plate 7. The first baffle 8 can abut against the front panel of the energy meter 3, and the second baffle 9 can abut against the rear panel of the energy meter 3. A first rubber pad (not shown in the figure) is fixed on the inner wall of the first baffle 8. Figure 7 As shown, the second baffle 9 is provided with a guide slope 10. The top height of the first baffle 8 is higher than the top height of the second baffle 9, wherein, as... Figure 5 As shown, the lifting frame 5 is located below the electricity meter 3; the lifting frame 5 moves under the drive of the first cylinder 6 to the position shown. Figure 6 The energy meter 3 is then moved to the position shown by the conveyor belt 2 until its front panel abuts against the first baffle 8. At this time, the second baffle 9 is still located below the rear panel of the energy meter 3, and the lifting plate 7 maintains a certain distance from the bottom of the energy meter 3. Then the lifting frame 5 continues to rise to the position shown by the conveyor belt 2. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The above structure allows the energy meter 3 to reach the first baffle 8 unimpeded during transport, and during lifting, it is lifted by the lifting plate 7 so that its rear side naturally rests against the second baffle 9 to complete the final positioning. This means that the conveyor belt does not need to frequently start and stop to wait for the energy meter 3 to arrive, and can maintain continuous operation to transport subsequent energy meters 3. In addition, since the entire positioning and lifting action only requires one cylinder to drive, there is no need to set up separate actuators for the front and rear limits and lifting, making the structure simpler.
[0034] The inspection fixture 15 is equipped with multiple probes 16 and conductive rods 17. A second cylinder 18 is connected to the inspection fixture 15 and is used to drive the inspection fixture 15 to move towards or away from the electricity meter 3. The frame 1 is also equipped with a stop bar 19, which is located on the side of the electricity meter 3 away from the inspection fixture 15.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
