The invention discloses an automatic electric energy meter arranging device used before packing. The device comprises a rack. A fed meter conveyor line, a column arrangement assembly and a row arrangement assembly are arranged on the rack. In operation, electric energy meters are conveyed to a fed meter stop position by a belt conveyor in the fed meter conveyor line, then pushed into the column arrangement assembly by a meter pushing air cylinder to be arranged in columns, and then pushed to a carrier plate by later electric energy meters; the electric energy meters are spaced into specified columns by guide strips on the carrier plate; when the carrier plate is provided with the electric energy meters in the specified columns, a meter mover in the row arrangement assembly divides the electric energy meters on the carrier plate into the specified rows, and then a transversely moving air cylinder drives a transversely moving frame to move transversely so as to automatically adjust the distance between the electric energy meters in the adjacent rows; and after the distance is adjusted, the electric energy meters are automatically divided into the specified rows and columns and spaced by the specified distance. In this way, a robot can grab electric energy meters of multiple rows and columns at a time before the electric energy meters are packed, and the electric energy meter packing speed can be greatly increased.
