[0016] See attached document Figure 1 A self-draining gas ultrasonic flow sensor mounting base structure includes a base body, which is inclinedly welded to the opening of a pipe. The base body is a hollow annular structure. The inner cavity of the base body consists of a cylindrical cavity 5, an inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6, and an irregular cylindrical cavity 7 that are connected to each other in sequence. The cylindrical cavity 5 is arranged away from the pipe 1 and connected to the bottom 61 of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6. The lowest point A621 of the top 62 of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6 is the shortest distance from the pipe wall of the pipe 1, and the highest point 622 of the top 62 of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6 is the longest distance from the pipe wall of the pipe 1. The space between the top 62 of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6 and the pipe wall of the pipe 1 forms the irregular cylindrical cavity 7. The taper of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6 should satisfy the following: the angle β between the inner wall of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6 where the lowest point A621 is located and the inner wall surface of the pipe 1 is an obtuse angle.

The arc of the bottom surface 4 matches the outer diameter of the pipe 1. The bottom surface 4 is welded to the opening of the pipe 1.
[0018] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the cylindrical cavity 5 is larger than the outer diameter of the gas ultrasonic flow sensor probe body to be installed, so as to facilitate the insertion and removal of the gas ultrasonic flow sensor during installation and maintenance. The inner diameter of the cylindrical cavity 5 is the same as the diameter of the bottom 61 of the inverted frustum-shaped cavity 6.
[0019] In this embodiment, the angle α between the axis of the base body and the center line of the pipe 1 is an acute angle.
