[0016] The gas pipeline IoT remote metering real-time transmission device provided by this invention can be used to adjust the rotation by controlling the rotation mechanism in the middle section. The rotation angle is adjusted according to the curvature of the middle section of the pipeline. The second rotating frame is adjusted to rotate with the first rotating frame through the connecting shaft.

This allows the device to adapt to the mounting groove spacing at the top of the second bracket, ensuring that the entire pipeline can be fixed to the top of the second and first brackets via the mounting brackets and clamping blocks. The device offers stable and flexible operation, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and is convenient and stable to install, ensuring overall installation stability and better protecting the pipeline. Its detachable design also facilitates subsequent pipeline maintenance. Attached Figure Description

A guide plate 18 is provided at the end of the mounting frame 9, and a screw 19 is installed on the inner side of the guide plate 18. An adjusting nut 20 is welded to the middle of the screw 19, and a clamping block 21 is connected to the end of the screw 19. A cover plate 22 is installed on the top of the second bracket 4.

[0037] The rotating mechanism 3 includes a first connecting seat 301, a first rotating frame 302, a connecting shaft 303, a second rotating frame 304, and a second connecting seat 305. The first rotating frame 302 is connected to the outer side of the first connecting seat 301, and the connecting shaft 303 is provided in the middle of the first rotating frame 302. The second rotating frame 304 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft 303, and the second connecting seat 305 is connected to the inner side of the second rotating frame 304.

[0038] The second rotating frame 304 forms a rotating structure with the first rotating frame 302 through the connecting shaft 303, and the first connecting seat 301 forms a transmission structure with the first rotating frame 302 and the connecting shaft 303, ensuring that the whole can meet the adjustment requirements according to the curvature of the middle pipeline, making the operation flexible and convenient and more adaptable.

[0039] The card block 7 forms a sliding structure between the slide groove 6 and the protective frame 5, and the second bracket 4 forms a transmission structure between the protective frame 5 and the transmission pipe 1. The protective frame 5 protects the internal pipe bends, effectively reducing the force of external pressure on the middle pipe.

[0040] The sliding frame 12 forms an engaging structure with the guide rail 10 through the buckle 14, and the sliding frame 12 forms a sliding structure with the mounting frame 9 through the guide rail 10, so that the clamp can stably clamp the transmission pipe 1 in the middle, which facilitates the subsequent connection and installation of the pipe and the mounting frame 9.

[0041] The clamping mechanism 16 includes a guide rod 1601, a spring 1602 and an upper clamp 1603. The spring 1602 passes through the outer side of the guide rod 1601, and the upper clamp 1603 is connected to the end of the spring 1602.

[0042] The upper clamp 1603 forms a lifting structure with the lower clamp 15 through the spring 1602, and the guide rod 1601 and the lower clamp 15 are set perpendicular to each other to ensure that the whole can better adapt to the installation and clamping of pipelines of different specifications and better ensure the stability of clamping.

[0043] The clamping block 21 forms a sliding structure with the mounting bracket 9 via the screw 19, and the mounting bracket 9 forms a locking structure with the transmission pipeline 1 via the clamping block 21. The operation is stable and flexible, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The installation is convenient and stable, ensuring the overall stability of the installation and better protecting the pipeline.

[0044] Working principle: First, during use, the rotation is adjusted by controlling the central rotating mechanism 3. The rotation angle is adjusted according to the curvature of the middle section of the pipe. The second rotating frame 304 rotates and is adjusted between the first rotating frame 302 and the connecting shaft 303. At the same time, the second connecting seat 305 and the first connecting seat 301 at both ends can also rotate and adjust with the second rotating frame 304 and the first rotating frame 302. This ensures that the whole can meet the adjustment requirements according to the curvature of the middle pipe. The operation is flexible and convenient, and the adaptability is stronger.

[0045] Secondly, when the rotating mechanism 3 is rotated and adjusted during use, the angle between the transmission pipe 1 and the second support 4 changes accordingly, making it easier to adjust and adapt to different angles during installation. At the same time, the multiple sets of protective frames 5 in the middle can adjust their spacing as they rotate, and the connecting strips 8 on the outside can ensure that the multiple sets of protective frames 5 are stably connected to each other, while also ensuring that the overall protective frame 5 can adapt to the rotation. The operation is flexible and convenient, and it can meet the needs of overall rotation. The protective frame 5 protects the internal pipe bends, effectively reducing the force of external pressure on the middle pipe, improving the overall stability of the equipment, and preventing data transmission errors.

[0046] Secondly, during use, the pipe is clamped and installed on both sides by the second gripper 17 and the clamping mechanism 16. The two can slide and adjust each other between the bottom sliding frame 12 and the mounting frame 9 to stabilize the adjustment of the distance. At the same time, the outer buckle 14 rotates around the rotating shaft 13 and engages with the bottom rack 11 to limit the position, so that the clamp can stably clamp the middle transmission pipe 1, which facilitates the subsequent connection and installation of the pipe and the mounting frame 9. Meanwhile, the upper clamp 1603 is raised and lowered between the spring 1602 and the guide rod 1601 to ensure that the whole can better adapt to the installation and clamping of different specifications of pipelines and better ensure the stability of the clamping.

[0047] Finally, during use, rotating the adjusting nut 20 causes the screw 19 to rotate, which allows the opposing threads on the outer sides to move the mounting brackets 9 and the clamping blocks 21 in opposite directions, thereby changing the distance between the mounting brackets 9 and the clamping blocks 21 to accommodate the mounting groove distance at the top of the second bracket 4. This ensures that the entire pipeline can be fixed to the top of the second bracket 4 and the first bracket 2 via the mounting brackets 9 and the clamping blocks 21. The operation is stable and flexible, facilitating disassembly and assembly. The installation is convenient and stable, ensuring the overall stability of the installation and better protecting the pipeline. The detachable design also facilitates subsequent maintenance of the pipeline. Finally, the top can be further protected by placing the mounting cover plate 22, which can be selected for installation as needed.

[0048] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art of gas pipeline technology to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
