[0020] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the common meanings understood by persons with ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs. The words "one" or "an" and the like used in the patent application specification and claims of this application do not indicate a quantity limitation, but indicate the existence of at least one.

[0021] In the description of the specification and claims of this application, the terms "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or unit referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore, should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 A specific embodiment of the pre-installation structure of the membrane and the core membrane box of the membrane gas meter in the present application is shown.

[0024] The pre-installed structure of the diaphragm and the movement diaphragm box of the diaphragm gas meter includes a diaphragm and a shell 1. The shell 1 has an installation port 21 for installing the diaphragm. A fixing plate 3 is installed on the side of the diaphragm away from the shell 1. The fixing plate 3 is annular and made of a steel alloy. A clamping assembly 4 is provided between the fixing plate 3 and the shell 1 to fix the fixing plate 3 and the shell 1.

[0025] The clamping assembly 4 includes a clamping block 41 and a clamping slot 42. The clamping block 41 is fixedly arranged at the outer edge of the fixing plate 3. Preferably, the clamping block 41 is arranged in an integral molding manner, and the overall structural strength is stronger. A protrusion 41a is formed on the surface of the clamping block 41 along the thickness direction of the fixing plate 3. The number of the protrusion 41a is at least one. A groove 41b that is engaged with the protrusion 41a is arranged at a corresponding position in the clamping slot 42. The clamping slot 42 is opened at the installation opening 21 of the housing 1. The clamping slot 42 includes an entry portion 42a and a clamping portion 42b. The entry portion 42a is connected to the clamping portion 42b. The entry portion 42a is arranged along the thickness direction of the housing 1. The clamping portion 42b is arranged parallel to the installation opening 21. The two are connected in an L-shaped arrangement. The clamping block 41 enters along the entry portion 42a and then rotates to the clamping portion 42b for clamping and fixing. The groove 41b is arranged at the clamping portion 42b, and the protrusion 41a is engaged with the groove 41b.

[0026] The housing 1 is provided with a locking assembly 5 at the clamping assembly 4 , and the locking assembly 5 locks the clamping assembly 4 to fix the clamping assembly 4 , in order to lock the clamping assembly 4 again.

[0027] In this embodiment, a connecting rod mechanism is adopted, and the locking of the clamping assembly 4 is realized through the linkage system between the connecting rods. The locking assembly 5 includes a resisting rod 51, a linkage rod 52, and a locking rod 53. The resisting rod 51 and the locking rod 53 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the linkage rod 52. The resisting rod 51 and the linkage rod 52 are movably connected.

[0028] In this embodiment, a flexible connecting plate is used to connect the abutment rod 51 and the linkage rod. Preferably, a rubber plate 6 is used in consideration of cost. One end of the rubber plate 6 is fixedly connected to the linkage rod 52 , and the other end is fixedly connected to the abutment rod 51 .

[0029] A rotating hole 7 is provided at the upper position of the center of gravity of the resistance rod 51, and a rotating column 7a which rotates with the rotating hole 7 is provided at the housing 1. When the resistance rod 51 is squeezed by the block 41, the resistance rod 51 rotates, so that the end of the resistance rod 51 away from the block 41 pushes the linkage rod 52 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0030] A steering member is provided between the linkage rod 52 and the locking rod 53. The steering member converts the lateral movement of the linkage rod 52 into the longitudinal movement of the locking rod 53, so that the end of the locking rod 53 away from the rotating member moves downward and extends into the clamping portion 42b to abut against the end of the clamping block 41 away from the abutting rod 51, thereby preventing the clamping block 41 from accidentally falling off from the clamping portion 42b and causing the membrane to fall off.

[0031] In this embodiment, the steering member includes a gear 81 arranged between the linkage rod 52 and the locking rod 53. A linkage tooth 82 that rotates with the gear 81 is arranged on the side of the linkage rod 52 close to the gear 81. The locking rod 53 is arranged on the side of the gear 81 close to the entry portion 42a, and a linkage tooth 82 is arranged on the side of the locking rod 53 close to the gear 81. When the linkage rod 52 moves from right to left, it drives the gear 81 to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear 81 drives the locking rod 53 to move downward. When the lower end of the locking rod 53 extends into the clamping portion 42b, the locking rod 53 positions the lateral position of the clamping block 41.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the free closing of the locking assembly 5, a reset member 9 is provided in the locking assembly 5, and the reset member 9 includes a reset column 91 and a slide groove 92. The slide groove 92 is arranged along the length direction of the linkage rod 52. When the linkage rod moves, the reset column 91 reciprocates along the slide groove 92. A reset groove 93 is provided at the corresponding position of the shell 1. The reset column 91 extends out of the reset groove 93, and the reset column 91 slides along the reset groove 93. When it is necessary to reset the locking rod 53, the reset column 91 moves upward, driving the linkage tooth 82 of the linkage rod 52 to separate from the gear 81. A spring 53a is provided on the locking rod 53. The spring 53a can reset the position of the locking rod 53, so that the locking rod 53 is retracted from the clamping portion 42b. At this time, the fixed plate 3 is rotated to remove the clamping block 41 from the clamping portion 42b through the entry portion 42a.

[0033] A return spring 92a is provided in the slide groove 92, one end of the return spring 92a is fixedly connected to the top of the slide groove 92, and the other end is fixedly connected to the return column 91. The return column 91 is moved along the return groove 93 to separate the gear 81 from the linkage tooth 82 on the linkage rod 52. When the gear 81 needs to be meshed with the linkage tooth 82 on the linkage rod 52, the return column 91 is released to move the return column 91 downward along the slide groove 92, driving the linkage rod 52 to move downward, so that the linkage tooth 82 on the linkage rod engages with the gear 81.

[0034] When in use, the membrane is installed on the installation opening 21 of the shell 1, and then the fixing plate 3 is placed on the membrane, so that the block 41 on the fixing plate 3 is aligned with the entrance of the slot 42. When the block 41 enters the bottom of the entrance part, the fixing plate 3 is rotated to make the block 41 enter the clamping part 42b. When the block 41 abuts against the abutting rod 51, the fixing plate 3 is continued to be rotated. When the protrusion 41a is clamped with the groove 41b, the abutting rod 51 also passes through the linkage rod 52 to make the locking rod 53 extend into the clamping part 42b, so as to realize the secondary locking of the block 41. When disassembling, the reset column 91 is moved along the reset column 91 to reset the lock rod 53. The positioning slot 93 moves upward, and the reset spring 92a located on the locking rod 53 returns the locking rod 53 to the initial position. At this time, the center of gravity of the contact rod 51 is located below the rotating part. Due to gravity, the contact rod 51 rotates clockwise to reset the contact rod 51. The contact rod 51 drives the linkage rod to move rightward through the rubber plate 6 to reset the linkage rod. At this time, the reset column 91 is released, and the spring 53a located on the reset column 91 resets the reset column 91 downward, so that the linkage tooth 82 on the linkage rod 52 meshes with the gear 81, thereby realizing the reset work between the various mechanisms.

[0035] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
