[0026] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when in use, after the fixing bolt 12 on the bottom side of the gas pipeline 8 is loosened, the extension pipeline 9 can be slid outward along the gas pipeline 8, and the gas pipeline 8 can be extended and extended with the help of the extension pipeline 9. After the adjustment is completed, the fixing bolt 12 can be tightened to fix it. After that, the inside of the airbag 14 can be inflated with the help of the air filling port 18.

[0027] A natural gas monitoring component is provided at the bottom end of the metering pipeline 1, and the monitoring component includes a control box 20, an audible and visual alarm 21 and a gas sensor 23.

The connection between 13 and the extension pipe 9 is sealed to avoid natural gas leakage. When natural gas is transported, the filter 5 located inside the air inlet pipe 2 can assist in filtering the natural gas. If natural gas leaks through the connection, as the fan 28 inside the bellows 26 runs, the natural gas and the flowing air enter the bellows 26 and can be transported to the detection box 24 through the air supply pipe 29. When the gas sensor 23 located in the detection box 24 detects the natural gas, the main board 22 starts the sound and light alarm 21, and the sound and light alarm 21 can be used to warn the operation through sound.
