Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electricity meter management technology, specifically a device for reading the readings of an electricity meter after it has been disassembled. Background Technology

[0002] The recorded electricity consumption data from a removed electricity meter refers to the cumulative electricity consumption displayed on the meter when it is removed due to malfunction, expiration, or upgrade. This data records the total electricity consumption from the meter's installation to its removal, serving as crucial evidence for electricity billing, data analysis, and subsequent meter management. For example, during meter replacement, power companies need to accurately record the recorded electricity consumption data to facilitate billing with users. Furthermore, analyzing this data can uncover abnormal electricity usage and electricity theft, providing clues for the power company's anti-theft efforts.

[0003] Utility model patent CN222563913U discloses a device for reading the readings of disassembled electricity meters. By setting a rectangular groove on the device body and conductive terminals adapted to the electricity meter slot, the device can install disassembled electricity meters, improving work efficiency. It utilizes a power inverter circuit to convert DC power into AC power suitable for electricity meter operation, meeting the meter's working requirements. Through a data reading module, it accurately reads, stores, and transmits the readings of the electricity meter's data, enabling on-site reading of electricity meter data. The use of this device reduces the burden of manual meter reading and improves the timeliness and accuracy of data processing. However, it cannot photograph and archive the read data, especially the non-electrical information of the electricity meter.

[0004] When in use, the aforementioned device can simulate the working environment to allow the dismantled electricity meter to work. Subsequently, the data reading module reads, stores, and transmits the electrical information. Based on the above principle, this device cannot identify and record non-electrical information of the electricity meter (such as device code, date information, whether it is damaged, etc.). There may also be cases where the data read by the data reading module does not match the data displayed by the electricity meter. In particular, if the electricity meter is damaged and cannot form a working circuit, the device cannot read any information. The basic information of the electricity meter needs to be manually recorded, and it cannot be directly entered into the management system, which is quite inconvenient to use. Therefore, in order to address the above problems, a reading device for dismantled electricity meters is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device for reading the readings of an electricity meter. This device can take pictures and archive various information of the electricity meter, making the collected information more comprehensive. It solves the technical problem that the devices in the comparative technology cannot take pictures and archive the read data, especially the non-electrical information of the electricity meter.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A device for reading the readings of an electricity meter, comprising:

[0008] The device base has a height adjustment frame on the front of its upper end;

[0009] The movable reading station is slidably mounted on the upper surface of the device base for installing and reading the readings of the removed energy meters; the industrial camera is movably mounted in the height adjustment frame for taking pictures of the energy meters being read and archiving them; in the above structure, the movable reading station is used to read power information, and the industrial camera is used to read non-power information and can take pictures of the read power information for archiving.

[0010] The host computer is electrically connected to the mobile reading station and industrial camera via cables to collect and store data.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the active reading station includes a base with a three-phase meter mounting slot and a single-phase meter mounting slot, and a baffle is provided at the front opening of both the three-phase meter mounting slot and the single-phase meter mounting slot. The above solution can form two types of mounting slots for installing and fixing the three-phase meter and the single-phase meter respectively.

[0012] In one possible implementation, both the three-phase meter mounting slot and the single-phase meter mounting slot have grooves at their bottoms, and corresponding electrical contact seats are provided in the slots. The electrical contact seats in the three-phase meter mounting slot have three sets of conductive contact shafts, and the electrical contact seats in the single-phase meter mounting slot have two sets of conductive contact shafts. After the energy meter is installed in the corresponding slot, the conductive contact shafts introduce electrical energy, putting the energy meter into a simulated working state, which facilitates data reading.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the platform has a wiring port on its side, which is electrically connected to the operating host via a plug-in cable; wherein, the conductive contact shaft is electrically connected to the wiring port via a corresponding wire; the above structure is used to realize the electrical connection between the operating host and the active reading station.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the device base includes a base plate with guide rails on both sides of its upper surface, on which a sliding platform is mounted, and a lead screw adjustment mechanism for driving the platform to slide is provided between the guide rails; wherein, both sides of the platform are provided with sliding connecting feet that are slidably connected to the guide rails.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the guide rail includes two symmetrically arranged support plates with a horizontal guide rod between them, and a cover plate located on the upper side of the sliding connecting foot between the support plates.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the lead screw adjustment mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged support end plates with a rotatably connected transmission lead screw between them, and a handwheel connected to the end of the transmission lead screw; the lead screw adjustment mechanism also includes a drive slide installed in the middle of the lower end face of the base, which is threadedly connected to the transmission lead screw.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the height adjustment frame includes a gantry, wherein a mounting frame for mounting an industrial camera is slidably disposed, and a height adjustment screw is threadedly connected to the top of the gantry, with its bottom end rotatably connected to the mounting frame. When the height of the industrial camera needs to be adjusted, turning the height adjustment screw can drive the mounting frame to move, thereby moving the industrial camera to change its height. The gantry has height adjustment slots on both sides, and the mounting frame has sliding blocks on both sides that slide in the height adjustment slots.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] When an electricity meter is installed on a mobile reading platform, it can read the meter's electrical information. At this time, an industrial camera can take pictures to record the electrical information on the meter. This is useful for later analysis, as the information read by the mobile reading platform can be compared with the photo displayed on the meter to avoid significant discrepancies. Simultaneously, the industrial camera can also identify and record non-electrical information from the meter, creating a separate information file for each meter and automatically matching the information read by the mobile reading platform with the corresponding meter. Furthermore, when a meter is damaged and cannot form a working circuit, the industrial camera can identify and store the non-electrical information, eliminating the need for manual recording of the meter's basic information.

[0020] Because the movable reading platform is slidably mounted on the device base, it can slide back and forth, thereby changing the distance between the energy meter being read and the industrial camera. In addition, the industrial camera is mounted on an adjustable frame, which allows for adjustment of the working height of the industrial camera. In summary, the positional relationship between the energy meter and the industrial camera can be freely adjusted, facilitating the focusing of the industrial camera. Even when different industrial cameras are used, the image quality can be ensured through position adjustment. Attached Figure Description

[0034] This application embodiment provides a device for reading the readings of an electricity meter, effectively solving the technical problem that electricity meter reading devices cannot photograph and archive the read data, especially the non-electrical information of the electricity meter. While reading the readings, the industrial camera 4 can take pictures to archive the electrical information on the electricity meter. This facilitates comparison of the information read by the active reading station 2 with the photographic information displayed on the electricity meter during later analysis, avoiding significant discrepancies. The industrial camera 4 can also capture non-electrical information of the electricity meter, such as device information... The system identifies and archives information such as code, date, and whether the meter is damaged, creating a unique information file for each meter. The information read by the active reading station 2 is automatically matched with the corresponding meter. Furthermore, when a meter is damaged and cannot form a working circuit, the industrial camera 4 can identify and store non-electrical information from the meter, eliminating the need for manual recording of basic meter information. Additionally, the device can adjust the distance and height difference between the industrial camera 4 and the meter, facilitating precise focusing of the camera. Even when different industrial cameras 4 are used, position adjustments ensure image quality.

[0035] Example

[0036] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0037] The reading section of this device consists of a movable reading stage 2 and an industrial camera 4 working together, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the active reading station 2 is used to read power information, and the industrial camera 4 is used to read non-power information. It can also take pictures of the read power information for archiving, as detailed below:

[0038] The active reading platform 2 includes a base 21 with a three-phase meter mounting slot 22 and a single-phase meter mounting slot 23. Both the three-phase meter mounting slot 22 and the single-phase meter mounting slot 23 have baffles 27 at their front openings. This structure allows for two types of mounting slots, enabling installation and fixation of three-phase and single-phase meters respectively, thus broadening the applicability of the device. Each slot contains a corresponding electrical contact seat 24. The electrical contact seat 24 in the three-phase meter mounting slot 22 has three sets of conductive contact shafts 241, while the electrical contact seat 24 in the single-phase meter mounting slot 23 has two sets of conductive contact shafts 241. After the energy meter is installed in its corresponding slot, the conductive contact shafts 241 introduce electrical energy, putting the energy meter into a simulated operating state for easy data reading. Specifically... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown.

[0039] The working principle of the above-mentioned activity reading station 2 is the same as the working principle of the device body in the utility model disclosed in CN222563913U, which is a device for reading the bottom number of a dismantled electricity meter.

[0040] When the electricity meter is installed on the active reading station 2, it can read the electricity information of the meter. At this time, the industrial camera 4 can take pictures to record the electricity information on the meter. This is convenient for comparison with the information read by the active reading station 2 and the photo information displayed on the meter during later analysis, avoiding large discrepancies. At the same time, the industrial camera 4 can also identify and record non-electrical information of the electricity meter, such as equipment code, date information, and whether it is damaged. This creates a separate information file for each electricity meter, and automatically matches the information read by the active reading station 2 with the corresponding electricity meter. In addition, when the electricity meter is damaged and cannot form a working circuit, the industrial camera 4 can identify and store the non-electrical information of the electricity meter, eliminating the need for manual recording of the basic information of the electricity meter.

[0041] In addition, the device is equipped with an operating host 5 that works in conjunction with the active reading station 2 and the industrial camera 4. It is a computer device equipped with an electricity meter management system to collect and store data. Correspondingly, a wiring port 25 is provided on the side of the base 21, which is electrically connected to the operating host 5 through a plug-in cable. At the same time, the industrial camera 4 is also connected to the operating host 5.

[0042] During the use of this device, the industrial camera 4 may be damaged and replaced with different models, and the energy meters on the mobile reading station 2 also come in various sizes. Therefore, when the pairing of the industrial camera 4 and the energy meter changes, the current industrial camera 4 may have difficulty achieving accurate focusing due to focal length issues, resulting in blurry images that affect the system's ability to identify energy meter information and impact the normal operation of the device. Therefore, the device needs to have measures to adjust the relative position of the energy meter and the industrial camera 4, as follows:

[0043] The first measure is to adjust the distance between the electricity meter and the industrial camera 4, specifically as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the device base 1 includes a base plate 11, with guide rails 12 on both sides of its upper end face. A sliding platform 21 is mounted on the base plate 11, and a screw adjustment mechanism 13 for driving the platform 21 to slide is provided between the guide rails 12. Sliding connecting feet 26 are provided on both sides of the platform 21, which are slidably connected to the guide rails 12. The guide rails 12 include two symmetrically arranged support plates 121, with a horizontal guide rod 123 between them. A cover plate 122 located on the upper side of the sliding connecting feet 26 is provided between the support plates 121. The guide rod 123 can guide the sliding connecting feet 26 to slide, while the cover plate 122 can isolate and protect the sliding connection structure. The screw adjustment mechanism 13 includes a rotatable transmission screw 132, which is threadedly connected to a drive slide 134 in the middle of the lower end face of the platform 21. Twisting the transmission screw 132 can drive the drive slide 134 to move the entire platform 21.

[0044] Secondly, there are measures to adjust the height difference between the electricity meter and the industrial camera 4. Specifically, the industrial camera 4 is movably installed in the height adjustment frame 3, which includes a gantry 31. A mounting frame 32 for installing the industrial camera 4 is slidably provided in the gantry 31. The top of the gantry 31 is threadedly connected to a height adjustment screw 33, and its bottom end is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 32. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the industrial camera 4, turning the height adjustment screw 33 can drive the mounting frame 32 to move, thereby moving the industrial camera 4 to change its height.

[0045] In summary, since the movable reading platform 2 is slidably mounted on the device base 1, it can slide back and forth, thereby changing the distance between the energy meter being read and the industrial camera 4. In addition, the industrial camera 4 is mounted on the height adjustment frame 3, which allows the working height of the industrial camera 4 to be adjusted. This allows for free adjustment of the positional relationship between the energy meter and the industrial camera 4, facilitating focusing of the industrial camera 4. Even if different industrial cameras 4 are replaced, the image quality can be ensured through position adjustment.

[0046] In the specific implementation process, the electricity meter is first installed in the corresponding three-phase meter mounting slot 22 or single-phase meter mounting slot 23. Then, the entire active reading station 2 is powered on so that the electricity meter is in working condition. At this time, the active reading station 2 can read the current electricity meter reading information.

[0047] Simultaneously, industrial camera 4 can take pictures throughout the process, recording the power information on the electricity meter. This facilitates comparison of the information read by the active reading station 2 with the photo information displayed on the electricity meter during later analysis, avoiding significant discrepancies. At the same time, industrial camera 4 can also identify and record non-power information of the electricity meter, such as equipment code, date information, and whether it is damaged. This creates a separate information file for each electricity meter, automatically matching the information read by the active reading station 2 with the corresponding electricity meter. Furthermore, when an electricity meter is damaged and cannot form a working circuit, industrial camera 4 can identify and store the non-power information of the electricity meter, eliminating the need for manual recording of the meter's basic information.

[0048] When the industrial camera 4 needs to be refocused for various reasons, the transmission screw 132 under the movable reading stage 2 can be turned to drive the drive slide 134 connected to it to move forward or backward, thereby moving the entire platform 21 as required to change the distance between the industrial camera 4 and the energy meter. In addition, when the height of the industrial camera 4 needs to be adjusted, the height adjustment screw 33 on its upper side can be turned to drive the mounting frame 32 to move, thereby moving the industrial camera 4 to change its height, so that the industrial camera 4 can be refocused and the image quality can be ensured.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
