Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter calibration devices, specifically to an automated electricity meter calibration system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, automated electricity meter testing systems are relatively common in China. However, these systems are large-scale, typically consisting of complex conveyor systems and multiple testing devices. The conveyor system is controlled by multiple computers, and each device is controlled by its own computer. All these computers are centrally controlled by a control system. The control system, comprising servers, control computers, and other equipment, is the core of the entire system (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown). The equipment in the control system needs to have high performance, thus requiring a large investment. The entire system's control process is very complex, requiring high construction costs and time, making it unsuitable for smaller-scale automation systems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an automated verification system for electricity meters. It solves the shortcomings of existing automated electricity meter inspection systems, which require high-performance control equipment, resulting in high investment, complex control processes, high construction costs and time, and are unsuitable for smaller-scale automated systems.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses an automated verification system for electricity meters, including: a server 1, multiple first clients 2, multiple second clients 3, a first robotic arm 4, a second robotic arm 5, multiple first devices 6, and a second device 7. The server transmits information with the first and second clients. The server is a computer, and the server and the first or second clients can be interchanged. When the originally designated server computer fails or is out of service, it can be switched to any other device computer as the server.
[0029] One of the second clients is electrically connected to the first robotic arm, which is used to perform the upper and lower table operations of one of the first devices. Each first client is electrically connected to a first device in turn to control the operation of the first device.
[0030] The server is electrically connected to the second device and is used to control its operation. The first robotic arm is used to perform the up and down operations of the second device. Both the first and second devices are equipped with computers.
[0031] The second robotic arm is used to perform the upper and lower table operations of the other first device. A second client is electrically connected to the second robotic arm. The first client is a computer. The second client is a computer.
[0032] The server, the first client, and the second client are connected via Ethernet. The server, the first client, and the second client communicate via TCP / IP. Communication between the robotic arm and the first and second devices is forwarded through the server. The server identifies the forwarding recipients using the robotic arm's ID and the device's ID.
[0033] In some other embodiments, the server, the first client, and the second client may also be mobile terminal devices.
[0034] In this embodiment, the device computer and the robot computer are connected via a network; the computers communicate with each other using the TCP / IP protocol; one device control computer is selected as the server, and the other computers are clients. The server's task is to forward the interaction information between the robot computer and the device computer. When the robot completes the above table operation for a device (let's assume it's numbered N), its computer sends a test start instruction to the server. Upon receiving the instruction, the server forwards it to the corresponding device computer based on the device number. After receiving the test start instruction, the computer of device N controls the device to start the inspection. Upon completion of the inspection, it sends a test completion instruction to the server, which then forwards it to the corresponding robot computer. After receiving the test completion instruction, the robot computer controls the robot to perform the next table operation on device N.
