[0002] Air volume measurement is crucial in many fields. For example, in thermal power plants, air volume measurement can directly impact the plant's operational efficiency, safety, economy, and environmental performance. However, existing air volume measurement devices typically use bolts to secure them to the air duct. Due to the confined space inside the duct, using tools and bolts for installation is inconvenient. Furthermore, airflow can cause vibration in the bolts, leading to loosening and compromising the stability of the air volume measurement device. To address this issue, we propose a fixing mechanism and air volume measurement device. Summary of the Invention

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The terms used in the present invention are those commonly used in the art in view of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.

[0026] This embodiment provides a fixing mechanism, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the sliding member 14 slides through the fixed slide groove 15 provided on the fixed collar 11, and the end of the sliding member 14 away from the fixed collar 11 is fixedly installed with a fixing member 12, and the side of the fixing member 12 opposite to the sliding member 14 is fixedly connected with a fitting surface 13. Therefore, when the equipment needs to be fixed to the air duct wall, the sliding member 14 can be pushed to slide in the fixed slide groove 15, so that the fitting surface 13 on the fixing member 12 is close to the air duct wall until the fitting surface 13 and the air duct wall conflict with each other, thereby utilizing the mutual extrusion between the fitting surface 13 and the air duct wall to complete the fixing operation of the device.

[0027] As a further improvement of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the fitting surface 13 is set to an outward convex arc structure. Because in fluid mechanics, the streamline shape of a circular pipe is the most natural and smooth, so under the same air volume and wind speed conditions, the along-the-line resistance coefficient of a circular air duct is usually smaller than that of air ducts of other shapes. Therefore, most existing air ducts have a circular cross-section. The shape setting of the fitting surface 13 can increase the contact area between the fitting surface 13 and the inner wall of the air duct, thereby improving the installation stability between the fitting surface 13 and the air duct wall.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving collar 21 is sleeved on the fixed collar 11, and the sliding member 14 is fixedly connected to the driving block 23 on one side close to the driving collar 21, and a spiral guide rail 22 that meshes with the driving block 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the driving collar 21, and a driving rod 26 is fixedly connected on the other side. Therefore, the installer can drive the driving collar 21 to rotate by toggling the driving rod 26, and utilize the engagement of the spiral guide rail 22 on the driving collar 21 with the driving block 23 to drive the sliding member 14 to move in the fixed slide groove 15 to achieve the fixing operation. In this fixing method, the staff only needs to rotate the driving collar 21 to realize the installation and disassembly of the fixing mechanism. Compared with the traditional bolt installation method, a large number of operating steps are reduced, the efficiency of device loading and unloading is greatly improved, and it is conducive to the promotion of the equipment.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, an anti-slip groove 24 communicating with the outside is provided inside the fixed collar 11, and an anti-slip ring 25 fixed to the inner wall of the driving collar 21 is slidably installed in the anti-slip groove 24. Therefore, the driving collar 21 is rotatably connected to the fixed collar 11 through the cooperation of the anti-slip ring 25 and the anti-slip groove 24.

[0030] The flow of air in the duct will drive the vibration of the internal devices in the duct. Therefore, in the traditional bolt installation method, the bolts are easily loosened under the action of the air flow, thereby affecting the installation stability. Therefore, as a further improvement in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a ratchet 27 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the anti-slip ring 25, and a pawl 28 is engaged with the ratchet 27. Therefore, when the staff toggles the drive rod 26 to drive the drive collar 21 to rotate to achieve the fixation of the device, the ratchet 27 is not hooked with the pawl 28, and does not affect the rotation of the drive collar 21. After the fixation is completed, when the drive collar 21 in the air duct is reversed under the action of external force, the ratchet 27 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the anti-slip ring 25 will conflict with the pawl 28 to prevent the drive collar 21 from reversing, so that the fixing member 12 will not move in the radial direction of the fixing collar 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the fixing mechanism.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic rod 29 slides through the anti-slip groove 24 and is installed with a synchronizer ring 210. A telescopic spring 211 is installed at one end of the telescopic rod 29 located in the anti-slip groove 24. Therefore, when disassembling the fixing mechanism, the synchronizer ring 210 can be pushed to drive the telescopic rod 29 to move. Because the telescopic rod 29 is elastically hinged to the pawl 28, the movement of the telescopic rod 29 will drive the pawl 28 to disengage from the hooked state with the ratchet 27. At this time, the reverse drive ring 21 can drive the fitting surface 13 on the fixing member 12 to disengage from the contact state with the air duct wall, completing the disassembly of the fixing mechanism.

[0032] This embodiment provides an air volume measurement device, such as Figure 5 As shown, an air inlet cavity 31 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed collar 11. In the air inlet cavity 31, a measuring blade 32 and a revolution counter 33 are connected to the air inlet cavity 31 via a mounting bracket 34. Therefore, during measurement, the airflow flowing in the air duct will drive the measuring blade 32 to rotate, and the revolution counter 33 will record the number of revolutions (N) made by the measuring blade 32 within a certain period of time (T). Therefore, the staff can use the formula V (wind speed) = N / T to obtain the airflow velocity in the air duct in the corresponding time period, thereby completing the wind speed measurement.

[0033] As a further improvement, in this embodiment, the length of the support shaft 35 is set to be greater than the length of the air inlet cavity 31. Figure 6 As shown, a measuring blade 32 is installed at the end of the support shaft 35 away from the air inlet chamber 31. Because the installation diameter of the air inlet chamber 31 is smaller than the diameter of the air duct, when the airflow in the air duct enters the air inlet chamber 31, it will be compressed, and its flow rate will change, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the measuring blade 32 originally set in the air inlet chamber 31. Therefore, setting the measuring blade 32 outside the air inlet chamber 31 can better measure the wind speed in the air duct, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0034] The air volume measuring device installed in the air duct will block the wind in the air duct and affect its flow. As a further improvement in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the diameter of the air inlet 311 is set to be larger than the diameter of the air outlet 312, thereby reducing the obstruction of the wind by the air inlet 311 and compressing the air flow entering the air inlet cavity 31, thereby increasing the wind speed and flow rate in the measuring device and reducing the impact of the air volume measuring device on wind circulation.

[0035] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
