[0026] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, an energy meter assembly device includes a base 1, two symmetrically arranged positioning blocks 21 and two feeding cylinders 22. The top of the base 1 has two reserved holes 6, and the positioning blocks 21 are fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0028] The feeding cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the positioning block 21, and rubber sleeves 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 22. The feeding cylinder 22 is located directly above the reserved hole 6. The positioning block 21 positions the energy meter to ensure that the energy meter is accurately positioned during assembly and facilitates screw installation. The feeding cylinder 22 is used to store screws, and the rubber sleeves 23 can reduce the shaking of the screws in the feeding cylinder 22, prevent the screws from falling or being lost, and at the same time assist the screws to be fed smoothly. Compared with manual screw handling, the efficiency and accuracy of screw installation are improved.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 2. The output end of the cylinder 3 passes through the bracket 2 and extends to its lower part.

[0030] The cylinder 3 controls the extension and retraction distance and speed of the output end, driving the mounting frame 5 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between the screwdriver head 17 and the electricity meter, so that the screwdriver head 17 can accurately reach the screw installation position.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, two guide rods 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The top of the guide rods 4 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. The output end of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5. The two sides of the mounting frame 5 are slidably connected to the guide rods 4 respectively.

[0032] The guide rod 4 connects the base 1 and the bracket 2, providing guidance for the movement of the mounting frame 5, ensuring that the mounting frame 5 moves smoothly along a straight line under the drive of the cylinder 3, avoiding the mounting frame 5 from shifting or shaking during the movement, and ensuring that the screwdriver head 17 can be accurately aligned with the screw hole of the electricity meter.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, two output shafts 8 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 5. The bottom of the output shafts 8 passes through the mounting frame 5 and extends to its lower part. Synchronous pulleys 9 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two output shafts 8. The two synchronous pulleys 9 are connected by a synchronous belt drive. A stepper motor 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting frame 5. The output end of the stepper motor 7 is fixedly connected to one of the output shafts 8.

[0034] The output shaft 8 is used to install and drive the screwdriver head 17. The synchronous pulley 9 and the synchronous belt drive method can ensure that the two output shafts 8 rotate synchronously, so that the two screwdriver heads 17 rotate at the same speed. Multiple screws on the energy meter can be installed at the same time, which improves the assembly efficiency compared to installing them individually.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-5 As shown, the outer wall of the output shaft 8 is provided with a mounting hole 10, the inner wall of the mounting hole 10 protrudes inward to form a plurality of first protrusions 11, a guide groove 12 is formed between the mounting hole 10 and the first protrusions 11, and a limit groove 13 is provided on the outer wall of the output shaft 8.

[0036] A transmission sleeve 14 is slidably connected inside the mounting hole 10. The outer circumference of the transmission sleeve 14 is provided with multiple first slots 16. The first protrusion 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slot 16. The inner wall of the transmission sleeve 14 protrudes inward to form multiple second protrusions 15.

[0037] The electricity meter assembly equipment also includes a screwdriver head 17, with a connecting shaft 18 fixedly connected to the top of the screwdriver head 17. The outer wall of the connecting shaft 18 has multiple second slots 19. A limiting sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 18. The limiting sleeve 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 12. The connecting shaft 18 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 13. The top of the connecting shaft 18 passes through the transmission sleeve 14 and is slidably connected to it. The second protrusion 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slot 19. The top of the screwdriver head 17 contacts the bottom of the output shaft 8.

[0038] Slide the limiting sleeve 20 into the guide groove 12, slide the connecting shaft 18 into the limiting groove 13, and slide the transmission sleeve 14 downward so that the second protrusion 15 in the transmission sleeve 14 slides into the second slot 19, which can quickly install the screwdriver head 17.

[0039] Working principle: When in use, first place the electricity meter on the base 1, use two positioning blocks 21 to position the electricity meter, and place the screw in the rubber sleeve 23 in advance. The rubber sleeve 23 limits and supports the screw.

[0040] Start cylinder 3. The output end of cylinder 3 pushes the mounting frame 5 downward along the guide rod 4, so that the mounting frame 5 is close to the electricity meter.

[0041] When the stepper motor 7 starts, it drives the output shaft 8 connected to it to rotate. Through the transmission of the synchronous pulley 9 and the synchronous belt, the two output shafts 8 rotate synchronously.

[0042] When the output shaft 8 rotates, the transmission sleeve 14 rotates along with the output shaft 8 through the engagement of the first protrusion 11 and the first slot 16. The second protrusion 15 on the inner wall of the transmission sleeve 14 engages with the second slot 19 on the connecting shaft 18 of the screwdriver head 17, thereby driving the screwdriver head 17 to rotate.

[0043] As the mounting frame 5 continues to descend, the screwdriver head 17 contacts the screw, removes the screw from the feed cylinder 22, and screws it into the screw hole of the energy meter, completing the screw installation operation.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
