The invention discloses a device and method for automatically verifying an electric energy meter with a fixed type meter table. The device for verifying the electric energy meter comprises a first rail, a carrying vehicle capable of walking on the first rail, a vertical type automatic electric energy meter verification meter table arranged beside an adapter table, a second rail arranged between the adapter table and the vertical type automatic electric energy meter verification meter table and an automatic meter hanging robot vehicle capable of walking on the second rail. The adapter table, a warehouse outlet and a warehouse inlet are formed in the outer side of the first rail. According to the verifying method, a tray set is conveyed to the adapter table through the carrying vehicle, the automatic meter hanging robot vehicle grabs one tray and hangs an electric energy meter in the tray on the vertical type automatic electric energy table verification meter table to be detected, after detection, the electric energy meter is put in the tray, the trays are overlapped on the adapter table, and finally the carrying vehicle conveys the tray set to the warehouse inlet. According to the device and method, automatic meter hanging detection of the electric energy meters can be efficiently achieved, the detection is more close to the realistic use condition, and separation of the verification meter table and a conveying device is achieved.
