[0024] 7 can also reduce the impact force and protect the tight parts inside the pipe 1 3 and the pipe 2 4;

[0025] A first internal measuring mechanism 8 and a second internal measuring mechanism 9 are fixed on both sides of the pipeline 1 3 and the pipeline 2 4, respectively, wherein the first internal measuring mechanism comprises a first branch pipe 81, a first ball valve 82 and a first distance sensor 83, one end of the first ball valve 82 is coaxially fixed to the first branch pipe 81, the first distance sensor 83 is coaxially fixed to the other end of the first ball valve 82, the first branch pipe 81 is fixed to the pipeline 1 3, the second internal measuring mechanism comprises a second branch pipe 91, a second ball valve 92 and a second distance sensor 93, one end of the second ball valve 92 is coaxially fixed to the second branch pipe 91, the second distance sensor 93 is coaxially fixed to the other end of the second ball valve 92, and the second branch pipe 91 is fixed to the pipeline 2 4;

When the user does not need to use the fixing device 5, the fixing device 5 can be disassembled so that the user can reuse it;

[0030] When it is necessary to detect the thickness of the scale, then open the first ball valve 82 and the second ball valve 92. At this time, the first distance sensor 83 on the first ball valve 82 sends out an ultrasonic detection signal, which is transmitted to the inner wall of the outer circle of pipe 1 3 and pipe 2 4 via the first ball valve 82 and the first branch pipe 81, and the change in the distance between the first distance sensor 83 and pipe 1 3 and pipe 2 4 is detected, and the thickness of the scale at this location is calculated.
