[0002] Ultrasonic flow meter is an energy-saving instrument that can be clamped on the surface of the measuring pipe, does not contact the fluid, does not interfere with the flow field, has no pressure loss, and has high measurement accuracy.

[0003] Ultrasonic flow meters are generally bonded to pipes through coupling agents, and pipes are generally installed in relatively humid sewers. Therefore, ultrasonic flow meters will be affected by water vapor, causing the coupling agent to fail and the probe to fall off, which in turn causes the signal quality to deteriorate, making it impossible for the device to accurately measure the flow of water in the pipe. At the same time, the installation surface of the ultrasonic probe is a flat surface and cannot completely fit the curved surface of the outer wall of the pipe, which will cause the coupling agent to be smeared on the outside of the equipment during the installation process, resulting in a waste of coupling agent. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention is proposed.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a portable ultrasonic flowmeter probe auxiliary installation device, comprising:

[0024] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a portable ultrasonic flow meter probe auxiliary installation device.

[0028] The storage assembly 100 includes an installation box 101, a first card slot 102 arranged at the bottom of the installation box 101, and a binding slot 103 arranged at the top of the installation box 101. The installation box 101 is square in shape, and a first through hole 104 is opened on one side of the installation box 101. The installation box 101 is used to wrap the ultrasonic flow meter probe to prevent water vapor from affecting the ultrasonic flow meter probe.

[0029] It should be added that when the ultrasonic flow meter probe is installed in the mounting box 101, the data cable of the probe can extend out of the mounting box 101 through the first through hole 104. Here, the first through hole 104 is only a way of representation. In order to accommodate data cables of different thicknesses, a corresponding placement groove can be opened at the bottom of the first through hole 104 to facilitate the routing of the data cable.

[0030] The wiring assembly 200 is arranged on one side of the installation box 101, and includes a threaded tube 201, a sealing member 202, and a rotating member 203 arranged on the outer wall of the threaded tube 201. After the data line of the probe passes through the first through hole 103 for routing, the sealing member 202 needs to be sleeved on the outer wall of the data line, and then the sealing member 202 is placed in the threaded tube 201, and then the rotating member 203 is connected to the threaded tube 201 to seal the data line, thereby preventing water vapor from affecting the probe;

[0031] It should be noted that after the installation box 101 and the probe are installed on the pipeline, the installation box 101 needs to be sleeved with a clamp, and the clamp needs to be placed on the binding groove 103, so that the installation box 101 and the pipeline fit more closely.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that.

[0034] One side of the installation box 101 is connected to one side of the threaded tube 201. The threaded tube 201 is arranged on the side where the first through hole 104 is opened. The sealing member 202 includes a rubber ring 202a and a second through hole 202b that penetrates and is opened in the middle of the rubber ring 202a. The rubber ring 202a is arranged in the threaded tube 201. The rubber ring 202a is cylindrical in shape. The first through hole 104 is connected to the second through hole 202b. The rotating member 203 includes a threaded cover 203a and a third through hole 203b that penetrates and is opened in the middle of the threaded cover 203a. The outer wall of the threaded tube 201 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded cover 203a. The position of the second through hole 202b corresponds to the position of the third through hole 203b. An arc groove 106 is opened at the bottom of the installation box 101.

[0035] When installing the ultrasonic flow meter probe, the probe needs to be placed in the second card slot 105, and then the probe data line is routed through the first through hole 104, the rubber ring 202a is put on the data line, and then the rubber ring 202a is placed on the threaded tube 201, and then the data line is passed through the third through hole 203b, and then the threaded tube 203a is connected to the threaded tube 201, and then the coupling agent is applied on the bottom of the probe and the arc groove 106, and then the probe and the auxiliary installation device are placed on the pipeline.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, is based on the previous embodiment, except that.

[0038] A second slot 105 is provided at the bottom of the installation box 101, and the width of the second slot 105 is smaller than that of the first slot 102. When ultrasonic flow meter probes of different sizes are installed, the probes can be rotated and placed in the second slot 105 or the first slot 102 according to the size of the probes, thereby improving the application range of the auxiliary installation device.
