[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the first hanging hole is a circular hanging hole 9, and the second hanging hole is a Z-shaped hanging hole 10. The circular hanging hole 9 and the Z-shaped hanging hole have a simple design structure, are easy to manufacture and operate, facilitate the connection and disassembly of the spring 2 and the guide rail 1, and improve the ease of use of the universal clamp 100 for installing a portable ultrasonic flowmeter.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the first clamping member includes a first clamping plate 5 and a first limiting plug 4. The first clamping plate 5 is slidably connected to the guide rail 1. The first limiting plug 4 is arranged on the side of the first clamping plate 5 away from the ultrasonic probe. The first limiting plug 4 is used to be slidably connected to the guide rail 1 and can maintain the position after sliding. This structural design of the first clamping member can achieve effective limiting of one end of the ultrasonic probe.

The magnetic connection makes the use of the steel ruler 11 more convenient and quick.

[0037] Working principle: For pipes 12 and probes of different specifications, the adaptability of the clamp is achieved by adjusting the position of the clamp on the guide rail 1 and limiting it with a limit plug.

[0038] For pipes 12 with a diameter of less than DN400, a fixing spring 2 is used for fixing. One end of the spring 2 hooks into the circular hanging hole 9 of the guide rail 1, and the other end is stretched according to the thickness of the pipe 12 until the clamp is firmly fixed to the pipe 12 by elastic force, and the stretched position of the spring 2 is stuck in the Z-shaped hanging hole.

[0039] For pipes 12 with a diameter of DN400 or above, the strong magnet on the top of the clamping plate is used to directly and firmly adsorb the magnetically friendly pipe 12.

[0040] Whether using spring 2 or strong magnets, the fixed screw can support the ultrasonic probe 6 placed in the clamp, adjust the gap between the probe and the pipe 12, make the probe fit closely to the pipe 12, and ensure accurate measurement. The attached steel ruler 11 can be sucked onto the clamp to measure the distance of the ultrasonic probe.

[0041] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
