Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of auxiliary installation brackets for large flow meters, specifically an adjustable flow meter installation bracket. Background Technology

[0002] A flow meter is an instrument used to measure the flow rate of fluids. It can indicate and record the volume or mass of fluid flowing through a cross section of a pipe or open channel per unit time. The flow meter consists of a sensor, converter, display instrument and other components. It is mainly used in industrial production process control, energy metering and management, environmental protection and monitoring, transportation and refueling, and water conservancy projects and water resource management.

[0003] Large flow meters can reach a length of about 3000mm, with a width and height of about 800mm-1000mm. They are widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and power. The main types include rotary flow meters, large-diameter orifice plate flow meters, averaging pitot tube flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, and electromagnetic flow meters. Currently, the installation of these large flow meters requires the use of cranes to lift them. However, cranes are large and require a lot of space in the site and overhead space, making it impossible to operate in narrow spaces or indoors. Furthermore, after the crane lifts the flow meter, it is prone to swaying because it is pulled up by ropes, making it difficult to make precise position adjustments, especially when the flow meter needs to be accurately aligned with the pipe interface. The horizontality of the flow meter is also difficult to adjust during the lifting process. Slight carelessness may cause the flow meter to tilt, and there is also a certain degree of risk of falling and collision. Utility Model Content

Specifically, this utility model provides an adjustable flow meter mounting bracket to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background that the installation of large flow meters currently requires the use of a crane to lift the flow meter, which is quite restrictive and makes it difficult to accurately align the flow meter with the pipe interface and make precise fine-tuning inconvenient.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] An adjustable flow meter mounting bracket includes a base structure. The base structure includes a base plate with a mounting groove and a rotating platform within the mounting groove. The rotating platform and the mounting groove are rotatably connected. A lifting mechanism is provided on the rotating platform. The lifting mechanism includes two support frames that are parallel to each other. Each support frame is bolted to a connecting plate and a cylinder on the connecting plate. The output end of each cylinder is provided with a bracket for lifting the flow meter.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the support frames is provided with a supporting part at its upper end, which supports the bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the connecting plates is bolted to a reinforcing block, and the reinforcing block is bolted to the corresponding support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a column is provided between the two support frames, the column is located at the center of the rotating platform, and two receiving blocks are provided at the upper end of the column. An auxiliary plate is provided on the side near the column, and the upper edge of the auxiliary plate overlaps the receiving block.

[0010] Furthermore, a damping strip is provided on the outer edge of the rotating platform, and the damping strip is slidably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove. A handle is also provided on the rotating platform.

[0022] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-3 An adjustable flow meter mounting bracket includes a base structure 1, which includes a base plate 11. The base plate 11 has a mounting groove 111 and a rotating platform 12 within the mounting groove 111. The rotating platform 12 and the mounting groove 111 are rotatably connected. The rotating platform 12 is provided with a lifting mechanism 2, which includes two support frames 21, which are distributed in parallel. Each support frame 21 is bolted to a connecting plate 22 and a cylinder 23 on the connecting plate 22. The output end of each cylinder 23 is provided with a bracket 24 for lifting the flow meter.

[0023] The above structure enables the flow meter to be quickly lifted and kept horizontal during installation at the pipe interface, without any shaking or tilting. This facilitates fine-tuning to accurately align the flow meter with the pipe interface, reduces the influence of the external environment, and can be used in narrow spaces and indoors. Compared with traditional installations, it eliminates the need for hoisting, effectively avoiding the risk of falling and collisions. It is also easy to operate, structurally stable, and has certain practical value.

[0024] The specific operation is as follows: First, use the casters 3 to drag the entire device to the pipe interface where the flow meter needs to be installed. Then, place the upper edge of the auxiliary plate 15 on the receiving block 141. Next, place the flow meter on the lower edge of the auxiliary plate 15. Two workers stand on either side of the flow meter and pull the flow meter upward along the slope of the auxiliary plate 15. When it is close to the bracket 24, lift the flow meter slightly and place it into the bracket 24. Then, open the cylinder 23. The two cylinders 23 operate synchronously, lifting the bracket 24 from the lowest point. The bracket 24 then moves the flow meter to the same height as the pipe. You can then use the handle 121 to slightly rotate the rotating table 12 for fine-tuning, so that the flow meter is aligned with the pipe interface and connected.

[0025] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 A column 14 is provided between the two support frames 21. The column 14 is located at the center of the rotating platform 12. Two support blocks 141 are provided at the upper end of the column 14. An auxiliary plate 15 is provided on the side near the column 14, and the upper edge of the auxiliary plate 15 overlaps the support block 141. Through the cooperation between the column 14 and the auxiliary plate 15, the operator can lift the flow meter onto the bracket 24. A damping strip 13 is provided at the outer edge of the rotating platform 12. The damping strip 13 is slidably connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 111. Through the damping strip 13, the rotating platform 12 can rotate stably on the base plate 11, avoiding excessive horizontal deflection. A handle 121 is also provided on the rotating platform 12. The handle 121 provides a point of force, making it convenient for the operator to rotate the rotating platform 12. The four corners of the lower surface of the base plate 11 are provided with universal wheels 3 with self-locking function. The universal wheels 3 facilitate the dragging of the entire device.

[0026] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 3Each of the support frames 21 is provided with a lifting part 211 at its upper end. The lifting part 211 supports the bracket 24. The lifting part 211 can stably support the bracket 24 when not in use. Each of the connecting plates 22 is connected to a reinforcing block 25 by bolts. The reinforcing block 25 is installed on the corresponding support frame 21 by bolts. The reinforcing block 25 further enhances the stability of the connection, so that the connecting plate 22 is stably installed on the support frame 21.
