Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a calibration tooling for a large-diameter pipeline flowmeter, including an upper mounting support plate 1. The bottom of the upper mounting support plate 1 is connected with a lower circulation and reflux device 3 through four support columns 2. By connecting the lower circulation and reflux device 3 through four support columns 2 at the bottom of the upper mounting support plate 1, it can be used for the multiple recycling of water after measurement to avoid waste of water resources. And a flowmeter body 9 is installed on the upper mounting support plate 1. The water inlet and outlet of the flowmeter body 9 are both connected with a pipeline 7 through a connecting flange 8. One end of the pipeline 7 far from the connecting flange 8 is connected with a telescopic bellows 6. The set flowmeter body 9 is connected with the pipeline 7 through the connecting flange 8. By providing the telescopic bellows 6, the positions of the two connecting flanges 8 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so as to adapt to flowmeter bodies 9 of different lengths. The other end of the telescopic bellows 6 is connected with a telescopic extension component 5 through an L-shaped pipeline joint, which penetrates through the upper mounting support plate 1 and extends into the lower circulation and reflux device 3. An telescopic adjustment component 4 connected with the telescopic extension component 5 is installed on the lower circulation and reflux device 3. The set telescopic extension component 5 cooperates with the telescopic adjustment component 4, so that the height of the entire telescopic extension component 5 can be adjusted. Thus, when facing a flowmeter body 9 with a higher water inlet and outlet height, the assembly work can be carried out very conveniently, avoiding the problem that the telescopic bellows 6 is obliquely pulled and squeezed, resulting in inaccurate flow detection.

[0024] In an embodiment, please refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 2As shown in the figure, the lower circulation return device 3 includes a lower collection water tank 10. At the bottom of one end inside the lower collection water tank 10, an inclined guide plate 11 is provided. At the bottom of the other end inside the lower collection water tank 10, away from the inclined guide plate 11, a submersible pump 12 is installed. The output end of the submersible pump 12 is connected to a delivery pipe 13 extending outside the lower collection water tank 10. At the other end of the lower collection water tank 10, away from the delivery pipe 13, a return pipeline 14 is connected through. And at the end of the lower collection water tank 10 where the submersible pump 12 is located, a drainage pipe 15 is installed. A control valve 16 is installed on the drainage pipe 15. Through the inclined guide plate 11 arranged inside the lower collection water tank 10, the water flowing back through the return pipeline 14 flows towards the lower side. Through the cooperation of the submersible pump 12 and the delivery pipe 13, the water delivery work during measurement is realized. The arranged drainage pipe 15 and the control valve 16 facilitate the discharge and addition of water inside the lower collection water tank 10.

[0025] In one embodiment, please refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the telescopic adjustment assembly 4 includes a support square pipe 17 fixed at the center of the top of the lower collection water tank 10. An extension rod 18 is movably arranged through the support square pipe 17. On both sides of the top end of the extension rod 18, adjustment support crossbars 19 connected to the telescopic extension assembly 5 are fixedly connected. A strip-shaped sliding groove 20 is opened at one end of the support square pipe 17. At the end of the extension rod 18 located inside the support square pipe 17, an adjustment threaded column 21 penetrating through the strip-shaped sliding groove 20 is fixedly connected. A limit nut 22 is sleeved on the end of the adjustment threaded column 21 located outside the support square pipe 17. During adjustment, by loosening the limit nut 22, the extension rod 18 is adjusted inside the support square pipe 17. After reaching the appropriate position, the limit nut 22 is tightened. Through the frictional force between the limit nut 22 and the outer wall of the support square pipe 17, the positioning work of the extension rod 18 is realized.

[0026] In one embodiment, please refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 4As shown, the telescopic extension assembly 5 includes an outer support sleeve 23 passing through the upper mounting support plate 1. A corresponding conveying pipe 13 and a reflux pipeline 14 are connected to the bottom end of the outer support sleeve 23. An inner extension pipe 24 is slidably arranged in the outer support sleeve 23, and the top end of the inner extension pipe 24 is connected to the L-shaped pipe joint. A vertical sliding groove 25 is formed in the outer support sleeve 23, and the adjusting support cross bar 19 passes through the vertical sliding groove 25 and is connected to the outer wall of the inner extension pipe 24. Limiting sliding grooves 26 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the inner wall of the outer support sleeve 23, and limiting sliding blocks 27 matched with the limiting sliding grooves 26 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the inner extension pipe 24. Annular sealing sheets 28 are arranged on the outer walls of the joints between the conveying pipe 13 and the reflux pipeline 14 and the outer support sleeve 23. The outer wall of the outer support sleeve 23 and the upper mounting support plate 1 are installed and connected through a fixing sleeve 29. By driving the inner extension pipe 24 located in the outer support sleeve 23 to move up and down through the arranged adjusting support cross bar 19, its length can be changed. The arranged limiting sliding grooves 26 cooperate with the limiting sliding blocks 27 to prevent the inner extension pipe 24 from reaching the vertical sliding groove 25 during movement, resulting in pipeline water leakage, and realizing the overall sealing performance of the pipeline during displacement.

[0027] In practical applications, a lower circulation reflux device 3 is connected to the bottom of the upper mounting support plate 1 through four support columns 2, which can be used for multiple recycling of the water after measurement to avoid waste of water resources. The arranged flowmeter body 9 is connected to the pipeline 7 through a connecting flange 8. By arranging the telescopic corrugated pipe 6, the positions of the two connecting flanges 8 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so as to adapt to flowmeter bodies 9 of different lengths. The arranged telescopic extension assembly 5 cooperates with the telescopic adjustment assembly 4, enabling the height of the entire telescopic extension assembly 5 to be adjusted. Thus, when facing a flowmeter body 9 with higher inlet and outlet heights, the assembly work can be carried out very conveniently, avoiding the problem that the telescopic corrugated pipe 6 is subjected to oblique pulling and extrusion, resulting in inaccurate flow detection. The utility model has a simple structure, can recycle the detected water multiple times, avoid waste of water resources, and can be adjusted in different ways according to the different specifications of the flowmeter body 9, enabling it to cooperate with flowmeter bodies 9 of various specifications and improving the detection accuracy.

This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
