[0035] Working principle:
[0036] In the first step, when the flow meter body 1 detects the flow rate of the liquid in the fluid pipeline 11, when the fluid passes through the vortex generator 7, vortices are alternately generated on both sides of its downstream. These vortices are arranged according to a certain rule to form a Karman vortex street. The release frequency of the vortex street is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. The sensor on the flow meter body 1 will detect the frequency of these vortex streets. According to the detected frequency, combined with the cross-sectional area of the pipeline, the volume flow rate of the fluid can be calculated. The flow meter body 1 is integrated with a data acquisition module and a communication module to send the monitored data to a remote monitoring platform, so that users can remotely monitor and manage the flow data in real time. During the long-term use of the vortex generator 7, residual impurities such as scale will be attached to the vortex generator 7 when the fluid passes through, and the vortex generator 7 needs to be disassembled and cleaned;
[0037] In the second step, when the user needs to disassemble and clean the vortex generator 7 in the fluid pipeline 11, the user can rotate the handle 25. The rotation of the handle 25 will drive the threaded rod 24 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 24 through the thread groove 41 will drive the L-shaped side plate 4 to move upward. The L-shaped side plate 4 slides on the circumferential ends of the two limiting sliding rods 23 through the limiting circular groove 42. The upward movement of the L-shaped side plate 4 will drive the circular rod 3 to move upward. The upward movement of the circular rod 3 will drive the adjusting block 5 to move upward through the rotating shaft 52. The upward movement of the adjusting block 5 will drive the mounting plates 6 and the vortex generator 7 on both sides to move upward. At this time, the sealing rubber pad 61 on the mounting plate 6 will leave the inner side wall of the circular groove 13, and the vortex generator 7 in the fluid pipeline 11 will also slide and gradually leave the inner side wall of the fluid pipeline 11;

[0041] The third step, after completing the above operations, the user can perform alternate operations on the two vortex generators 7. The user can pull the pull plate 55. The movement of the pull plate 55 will lengthen the second spring 53 and the first telescopic rod 54. The movement of the pull plate 55 will drive the two limit rods 56 to slide away from the inner wall of the limit slot 33. At this time, the user can rotate the pull plate 55. The rotation of the pull plate 55 drives the rotating shaft 52 to rotate through the first telescopic rod 54 and the second spring 53. The rotation of the rotating shaft 52 will drive the adjusting block 5 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting block 5 will drive the mounting plates 6 and the vortex generator 7 on both sides. Rotate, when the pull plate 55 rotates to drive the adjustment block 5 to rotate 180 degrees, the vortex generator 7 located in the protective plate 34 will be replaced to the bottom, and the vortex generator 7 located in the fluid pipeline 11 will be replaced to the protective plate 34, and the two vortex generators 7 will complete the position replacement. The user can reversely rotate the handle 25 again to drive the threaded rod 24 to rotate, thereby driving the clean vortex generator 7 to enter the fluid pipeline 11 to work, and then reversely rotate the threaded rod 24 to drive the clean vortex generator 7 to enter the fluid pipeline 11 to complete the replacement;

When one of the vortex generators 7 is disassembled for cleaning or damaged, the pull plate 55 can be rotated to drive the two vortex generators 7 to alternate positions, and the other clean vortex generator 7 is adjusted into the fluid pipeline 11 for use, thereby ensuring continuous operation of the system, reducing downtime, improving the reliability and stability of the monitoring system of the flow meter body 1, and ensuring the working efficiency of the flow meter body 1;
[0044] In the fourth step, after the clean vortex generator 7 is put into the fluid pipeline 11 for use, the user can press the two L-shaped side rods 82 on the vortex generator 7 on the outside of the fluid pipeline 11 to move closer to each other. The two L-shaped side rods 82 moving closer to each other will drive the two arc-shaped blocks 8 to move closer to each other and press the two third springs 81. At this time, the two arc-shaped blocks 8 will gradually slide into the inner wall of the rectangular notch 73, and the vortex generator 7 and the top plate 71 can be pulled out from the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 64, completing the disassembly of the vortex generator 7, and the user can clean the vortex generator 7;
