Description

A gas meter turnover tray Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pallet technology, and in particular to a gas meter turnover pallet. Background Technology

[0002] In the gas meter manufacturing industry, traditional gas meter turnover and transportation often uses ordinary flat pallets or simple stacking methods. Ordinary flat pallets only provide flat support and lack a structure for positioning and fixing gas meters. Simple stacking simply involves stacking gas meters together. In actual production, operators manually move and place gas meters on these pallets according to production needs, and then transfer the pallets to different workstations manually or with simple transportation equipment.

[0003] However, as the gas meter manufacturing industry moves towards automation and intelligence, traditional turnover pallets and methods have exposed many problems. On the one hand, on automated production lines operated by industrial robots, ordinary pallets lack a fixed positioning structure, making it easy for gas meters to shake, shift, or even fall during transportation, resulting in damage to the gas meters and affecting product quality. On the other hand, ordinary pallets do not have information identification functions and cannot quickly and accurately convey the basic attribute information of the gas meter in each process, which can easily cause production process chaos and increase management costs.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of this utility model. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Embodiments

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-5, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a gas meter turnover tray, which includes a turnover component 2. The turnover component 2 overcomes the problems of lacking a fixed positioning structure, making the gas meter prone to shaking, displacement, and falling during transportation, resulting in product damage, and lacking information identification function, which makes it impossible to quickly transmit gas meter process information.

[0029] The main structure 1 includes a placement tray 11, with a gas meter body 12 disposed on one side of the placement tray 11; and,

[0030] The turnover component 2 is located at the bottom of the placement tray 11 and includes a cell 21 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement tray 11. The top and bottom of the cell 21 are provided with an insert 22. The bottom of the cell 21 is provided with a limiting member. An embedded slot is provided on one side of the placement tray 11. A card holder 24 is provided in the inner cavity of the slot. Recessed folds 25 are provided on both sides of the placement tray 11.

[0031] The placement tray 11 provides a support base for the gas meter body 12. In the turnover component 2, components such as cell 21, insert 22, limiting component, embedded card slot, card holder 24, and concave fold 25 work together to achieve stable placement, accurate positioning, and convenient turnover of the gas meter. Cell 21 provides independent storage space, and the insert 22, in conjunction with the structure of the gas meter body 12, enhances the fixing effect. The embedded card slot and card holder 24 are used to place RFID cards, which can identify the basic information of the gas meter, thereby enabling rapid differentiation of different gas meters and supporting traceability of various parts, components, and processing processes. This effectively solves the problems of low production efficiency, chaotic management, and lack of traceability caused by the lack of information identification function in traditional trays. The concave fold 25 is adapted to the gripper of a robotic arm, meeting the grasping requirements of automated production lines and solving the problem that traditional trays are difficult to adapt to automated production. Example

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-5, this is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0033] Specifically, there are multiple sets of cells 21, which are evenly distributed in the inner cavity of the tray 11.

[0034] Multiple sets of cells 21 are evenly distributed in the inner cavity of the placement tray 11, which can make full use of the tray space and realize the orderly storage of gas meters in batches. Compared with the disorderly stacking or small-scale placement of traditional trays, this design greatly improves the space utilization of the tray, increases the number of gas meters per turnover, reduces the number of transportations, thereby improving the overall production efficiency. At the same time, it makes the distribution of gas meters on the tray more balanced, which is convenient for transportation and handling.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom of cell 21 is open, and the inner cavity of cell 21 is fixedly connected to a grid plate 21-1.

[0036] The bottom of cell 21 is open and the inner cavity is fixedly connected to the grid plate 21-1. While ensuring support for the gas meter, it also achieves ventilation, heat dissipation, moisture prevention and drainage. The grid plate 21-1 allows air circulation, timely dissipation of the heat generated by the gas meter during the transmission process, prevention of water vapor accumulation, and avoidance of rust and corrosion of the gas meter due to moisture, thus ensuring the service life and metering accuracy of the gas meter.

[0037] Specifically, the insert 22 includes a bottom groove 22-1 formed on the top inner side of the placement tray 11, and the cell 21 is located at the bottom of the bottom groove 22-1.

[0038] The bottom groove 22-1 on the inner top of the tray 11 cooperates with the cell 21 to wrap and protect the bottom of the gas meter body 12 placed on the cell 21. Through this contour structure, the position of the gas meter body 12 is further fixed, preventing it from shaking or shifting during transportation, enhancing the fixing effect of the tray on the gas meter, reducing the risk of damage caused by the movement of the gas meter, and improving transportation safety.

[0039] Specifically, the insert 22 also includes a top groove 22-2 formed on the bottom inner side of the placement tray 11, with cell 21 located at the top of the top groove 22-2.

[0040] The meter top groove 22-2 on the bottom inner side of the tray 11 is used to wrap and protect the top of the lower gas meter body 12 when the trays are stacked. This not only fixes the position of the gas meter, but also protects the top of the gas meter from collisions during the multi-layer stacking of the trays.

[0041] Specifically, the limiting component includes a conical cylinder 23 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the cell 21. The bottom of the conical cylinder 23 penetrates the cell 21 and extends into the top groove 22-2.

[0042] The conical cylinders 23 on both sides of the inner cavity of cell 21 extend through cell 21 into the top groove 22-2 of the meter. When the pallets are stacked, the conical cylinders 23 can cover the pipes on both sides of the top plate of the gas meter body 12 to accurately position and fix the gas meter. Through this limiting structure, the gas meter is ensured to remain stable during pallet stacking and transportation, avoiding damage caused by positional displacement.

[0043] Specifically, the bottom of the conical cylinder 23 is open and it is fitted with the gas meter body 12.

[0044] The tapered cylinder 23 has an open bottom and fits into the gas meter body 12, further optimizing the fixing effect of the gas meter. The open design can better adapt to the pipe shape on both sides of the top plate of the gas meter body 12, so that the tapered cylinder 23 is tightly connected with the gas meter, enhancing the stability of the fixing, preventing the gas meter from shaking during transportation, and ensuring the safety of the gas meter during turnover.

[0045] Specifically, there are multiple sets of concave folds 25, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the tray 11.

[0046] Multiple sets of concave folds 25 are evenly distributed on both sides of the pallet 11, providing multiple gripping points for the robotic arm's gripper. On the automated production line, the robotic arm can grip the concave folds 25 with its gripper to achieve fast, accurate gripping and transfer of the pallet. Compared with the problem that traditional pallets cannot be adapted to robotic arm gripping, this design improves the degree of production automation, reduces manual operation, and improves production efficiency.

[0047] In use, at the beginning of the automated production process of the gas meter, the corresponding basic information of the gas meter is written through an RFID card. Subsequently, the RFID card information is recognized by the reading device. After confirming that the process information is correct, the robotic arm grabs the gas meter body 12 and places the bottom of the gas meter body 12 directly opposite the cell 21 in the placement tray 11. Using the positioning function of the cell 21, the gas meter body 12 is placed down steadily. The grid plate 21-1 at the bottom of the cell 21 provides support and also realizes ventilation, heat dissipation, moisture prevention and drainage. The bottom groove 22-1 on the top inner side of the placement tray 11 wraps around the bottom of the gas meter body 12 to enhance the fixing effect.

[0048] Once the placement tray 11 is full of the gas meter body 12, the robotic arm uses its grippers to grasp the concave folds 25 on both sides of the placement tray 11, and then moves and places the placement tray 11 to the designated location.

[0049] Then repeat the above operation to place the gas meter body 12 into another placement tray 11.

[0050] After the gas meter body 12 is placed on another placement tray 11, the robotic arm picks up this placement tray 11 and stacks it on the previous placement tray 11 that is already full of gas meter bodies 12. At this time, the conical cylinder 23 at the bottom of the upper placement tray 11 is nested on the pipes on both sides of the top plate of the bottom gas meter body 12, further accurately positioning and fixing the gas meter. At the same time, the meter top groove 22-2 of the upper placement tray 11 wraps and protects the top of the bottom gas meter body 12, preventing the gas meter from being bumped during the stacking process.

[0051] Then repeat this process to stack several placement trays 11.

[0052] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
