[0021] The basic positioning of the bracket and the ship's side is achieved by using the accommodating space 3 enclosed by the first supporting plate 21, the second supporting plate 22 and the third supporting plate 23, and the positioning component 5 is used to position and fix the bracket on the ship's side.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 A first stopper 6 is provided between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22, and a second stopper 7 is provided between the second support plate 22 and the third support plate 23. In the present embodiment, the first stopper 6 and the second stopper 7 are both configured as cylinders, and the lengths of the first stopper 6 and the second stopper 7 are the same as the widths of the first support plate 21, the second support plate 22 and the third support plate 23. The peripheral walls of the first stopper 6 are respectively in contact with the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22, and the peripheral walls of the second stopper 7 are respectively in contact with the second support plate 22 and the third support plate 23.

[0023] The first stopper 6 is used to keep the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 vertical, and deformation between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 is avoided as much as possible, resulting in an angle less than 90°, which further affects the positioning of the accommodating space 3 relative to the ship's side; the second stopper 7 is used to keep the second support plate 22 and the third support plate 23 vertical, and deformation between the second support plate 22 and the third support plate 23 is avoided as much as possible, resulting in an angle less than 90°, which further affects the positioning of the accommodating space 3 relative to the ship's side.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , a plurality of fixing components 4 are provided, and the plurality of fixing components 4 are evenly distributed along the length of the first support plate 21; the fixing components 4 include a U-shaped bolt 41 and a mounting nut 42, and the first support plate 21 is provided with a socket 8 for inserting the U-shaped bolt 41, and the mounting nut 42 is threadedly connected to the screw rod of the U-shaped bolt 41, and the U-shaped bolt 41 and the first support plate 21 enclose an installation space 9 for installing the measuring tube 1.
