The invention provides a transfer device for single-phase electric energy meters. The transfer device comprises a rectangular box body with a plurality of clamping grooves placed vertically are formed in the box body, wherein the bottom side wall of the box body shrinks inwards, and a circle of positioning groove is formed between the bottom side wall and the upper side wall of the box body; a circle of positioning outer edge matched with the positioning groove is arranged at the top of the box body; two-dimension code tag pasting grooves are formed in the outer sides of the left side wall and the right side wall of the box body; handles are arranged on the front side wall and the rear side wall of the box body; the box body is 72 cm in length, 45 cm in width and 17 cm in height; each vertical clamping groove is 11 cm in length, 7 cm in width and 17 cm in height. The transfer device has the following benefits that the volume is increased, the use frequency of a transfer box is reduced, the storage space and expenditure are reduced, and the requirement for optimal quantity of checking tables for hooking is satisfied. As the positioning groove and the positioning outer edge are designed, centralized transport is facilitated, and the working efficiency is improved. As the two-dimension code tag pasting grooves and RF card clamping grooves are added, wireless scanning of the transfer device for the single-phase electric energy meters is realized.
