One group is perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipeline, and the other group is parallel to the axial direction of the pipeline. An ultrasonic probe 3 is installed through the center of the base 2. Two fixed positioning components 7 are installed on the side wall of the ultrasonic probe 3. Two fixed positioning components 7 are both installed with fixing screws 4. One end of the fixing screw 4 is installed into one of the preset threaded holes of the base 2. A disc spring 5 is also assembled between the two fixed positioning components 7 and the fixing screws 4. Fixed clamps 6 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the base 2.

The fixing screw 4 passes through the fixed positioning component 7 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the base 2. Through the elastic action of the disc spring 5, a pre-tightening force is applied to the ultrasonic probe 3 to ensure that the probe is closely attached to the outer wall of the pipeline, thereby improving the signal transmission stability and measurement accuracy.
