[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides a technical solution: an ultrasonic gas flow meter, comprising: a gas flow meter body 1 and an ultrasonic probe 2, the gas flow meter body 1 and the ultrasonic probe 2 are electrically connected, a fixed ruler slot 3 is provided at the upper end of the ultrasonic probe 2, a fixed groove 4 is provided at one end of the ultrasonic probe 2 and located at the opening of the fixed ruler slot 3, a fixing plate 5 is connected between the front and rear surfaces of the ultrasonic probe 2, a steel ball limiting hole 6 is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 5, a steel chain insertion port 7 is provided on the outer side of the fixing plate 5, and the upper end opening of the steel ball limiting hole 6 is opened. A circular chamfer is provided, a fixed ruler 8 is provided on the front side of the ultrasonic probe 2, a scale is marked on the front side of the upper surface of the fixed ruler 8, the front end blank space marked on the upper surface of the fixed ruler 8 is the same length as the ultrasonic probe 2, fixed protrusions 9 are provided on the front and rear sides of the left end of the fixed ruler 8, and a rotating shaft 10 is connected in an array shape on the front and rear sides of the fixed ruler slot 3, a roller 11 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 10, and rubber gaskets 12 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the roller 11, the rubber gasket 12 is tightly connected to the inside of the fixed ruler slot 3, and the outer side of the roller 11 is wrapped with a rubber pad.

[0026] When in use, after the gas flow meter body 1 and the ultrasonic probe 2 are docked and debugged, the installation distance between the two ultrasonic probes 2 will be displayed on the display screen of the gas flow meter body 1, and then the fixed ruler 8 is inserted into the fixed ruler slot 3, so that the fixed protrusion 9 and the fixed groove 4 are tightly fitted together. At this time, the scale zero position marked on the fixed ruler 8 will be at one end of the ultrasonic probe 2, and then another ultrasonic probe 2 is mounted on the fixed ruler 8, and the position of the second ultrasonic probe 2 is adjusted to the value displayed on the gas flow meter body 1. When the ultrasonic probe 2 is mounted on the fixed ruler 8, the roller 11 will be on the rotating shaft. 10 rotates, the rubber gasket 12 will reduce the rotation force of the roller 11, and the rubber pad wrapped on the outside of the roller 11 will increase the friction between the fixed ruler 8 and the roller 11, preventing the fixed ruler 8 from being too loose when inserted into the ultrasonic probe 2, and facilitating debugging. After that, the two ultrasonic probes 2 are placed on the outside of the steel pipe, and the steel ball chain is inserted into the steel chain insertion port 7 through the steel chain between the steel balls, so that the upper end of the steel ball is inside the steel ball limiting hole 6, and then after going around the outside of the steel pipe, it is connected to the inside of another fixed plate 5. After the two ultrasonic probes 2 are fixed, the fixed ruler is taken out to complete the installation.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, threaded holes are opened on the left and right sides of the upper end of the ultrasonic probe 2, and bolts 21 are connected to the threaded holes on the upper end of the ultrasonic probe 2 through threads, and the lower end of the bolt 21 is connected to a rubber anti-slip pad.

[0028] From the analysis of the above structure, it can be seen that after adjusting the position of the ultrasonic probe 2, the bolt 21 is rotated downward, and the rubber anti-skid pad at the lower end of the bolt 21 will press the fixed ruler 8 to prevent the position of the ultrasonic probe 2 from changing.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a claw 22 is connected in the middle of the rear surface of the gas flow meter body 1, and a clamping plate 23 is provided at the rear end of the claw 22. Countersunk holes are opened on the left and right sides of the clamping plate 23.

[0030] From the analysis of the above structure, it can be known that when installing the gas flow meter body 1, the clamping plate 23 is first installed on the wall, and then the claw 22 on the rear surface of the gas flow meter body 1 is sleeved inside the clamping plate 23 to fix the gas flow meter body 1. During debugging, the gas flow meter body 1 can be removed by pulling it outward.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a connecting port 24 is opened at the front end of the left side of the lower end of the fixed ruler 8, a connecting groove 25 is opened at the upper end of the connecting port 24, and a secondary ruler 26 is arranged on the right side of the lower end of the fixed ruler 8. The secondary ruler 26 has a connecting block 27 connected to the left side of the front end of the upper surface.

[0032] According to the above structure, if the length of the fixed ruler 8 is insufficient, the auxiliary ruler 26 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and then pushed upward to insert the connecting block 27 into the gap in the middle of the connecting groove 25. After being pushed to the top, it is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to connect the fixed ruler 8 with the auxiliary ruler 26.

[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a slot 28 is opened on the left side of the rear surface of the fixed ruler 8, and a block 29 is connected to the rear side of the left surface of the auxiliary ruler 26, and the block 29 is inserted and connected with the slot 28.

[0034] From the analysis of the above structure, it can be known that when the fixed ruler 8 and the auxiliary ruler 26 are docked, the block 29 will be inserted into the inside of the slot 28, and the protrusions at the upper and lower ends of the block 29 will be inserted into the grooves at the upper and lower ends of the slot 28, fixing the fixed ruler 8 and the auxiliary ruler 26 to prevent angular rotation.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a gentle slope (30) is provided on both sides of the front and rear of the middle of the upper end of the ultrasonic probe (2).

[0036] From the analysis of the above structure, it can be known that when a steel tie is used for connection, the tie can be inserted into the gentle slope 30 and wrapped around it for installation. The gentle slope 30 can limit the steel tie and reduce the stress at the corner.

[0037] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the fixed ruler (8) and the fixed plate (5) are both made of steel.

[0038] From the analysis of the above structure, it can be seen that the fixed ruler (8) and the fixed plate (5) are both made of steel, which can firstly increase the hardness and prevent the fixed plate 5 from being broken, and at the same time reduce wear and tear and extend the service life.
