摘要:
A maximum demand meter comprises a driving part for transmitting a rotation depending on a consumed electric energy, a differential gear mechanism comprising a first sun gear rotated by the driving part in a predetermined direction, a second sun gear driven in the opposite direction of the rotation of the first sun gear and a planet gear for transmitting the rotations of the first and second sun gears to a push arm for moving a pointer, a zero-returning driving part for rotating the second sun gear of said differential gear mechanism in a predetermined direction and an engaging pawl means for inhibiting either of the first and second sun gears of the differential gear mechanism from rotating in a predetermined direction. In normal state, the engaging pawl means inhibits the second sun gear from rotation and allows the rotation of the first sun gear to rotate the planet gear thereby to forwardly move the push arm and at a demand time, the engaging pawl means inhibits the first sun gear from the rotation and allows the second sun gear to rotate and the zero-returning driving means drives the second sun gear to rotate the planet gear thereby to return the push arm to the zero position.

A meter includes a single sweep hand dial for indicating maximum demand in a predetermined time period as well as a multidial decade register for recording cumulative demand. The sweep hand dial is driven by a pusher gear. A pusher arm urges the pusher gear in a first rotational direction to record maximum demand during the period. To reset the mechanism, a button is pushed manually to axially displace a reset gear into meshing engagement with a relatively high speed gear train driven by the timer motor. As the reset gear is thus moved, pins on the reset gear are displaced from stowage slots in a plate, and as the reset gear rotates, the pins ride on the plate until the reset gear completes a full cycle of operation during which time another pin on the reset gear engages a second tab on the pusher gear to reset the pusher gear in a rotational direction counter to that in which the pusher arm had rotated the pusher gear. During reset, the pusher gear drives a memory gear train provided with a unidirectional drive to transfer the maximum period demand to the cumulative demand register. When the reset gear completes its cycle, the pins are forced back into their stowage slots to disengage the reset gear from its drive. A reset spring urges one of the pins on the reset gear against an edge of its stowage slot to insure accurate zero reset of the reset gear. One tab on the pusher gear is adjustable to facilitate synchronization between the pusher arm and the reset gear.

A system for determining and accounting for the service of an electric vehicle provided with a battery which has an electric-current supply network, a pulse generator connected between this network and the vehicle for generating a time-spaced sequence of accounting pulses representing at least the value of electrical energy delivered to the vehicle, a pulse counter connected to the pulse generator for counting pulses derived from the pulse generator over a time interval corresponding to that for which the vehicle is connected to the network, and an evaluator in the form of a deductor on said machine responsive to the count of the counter and connected thereto for registering the value at least of electrical energy supplied to said machine.

A multi-dial meter register includes two energy consumption dial gear trains and a maximum power demand gear train that are selectively coupled to the meter movement of an electric utility billing meter. Two shifting control plates produce engagements and disengagements at input gears of the gear trains. A connecting shaft extends between the control plates and provides concurrent movement and further provides a dial status indicator at one end thereof.
