However, the measurement accuracy of ultrasonic flowmeters is easily affected by gas velocity distribution, vortex flow and gas turbulence intensity. However, rectifiers on the market are mostly divided into blade type and orifice type rectifiers. The blade type has the characteristics of low pressure loss, but because of the different rotation directions of the blades, it cannot be universal for left-intake pipes and right-intake pipes; and although the orifice type rectifier does not have much effect on the air intake direction of the pipeline, its structure greatly increases the resistance coefficient of the pipeline, resulting in a large pressure loss after the gas flows through.

[0003] CN217843128U discloses a combined rectifier, comprising: a first outer plate, a second outer plate and a sandwich plate; the sandwich plate is arranged between the first outer plate and the second outer plate; the connecting ring and the tube wall in the public document are an integral structure, and do not have a separate disassembly function; at the same time, the second outer plate and the sandwich plate are also fixed and attached to the tube wall, and do not have a separate disassembly function, and the sandwich plate is located in the middle area, which also occupies the regional space for airflow mixing.
