Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of open channel technology, and in particular to a multifunctional flow meter mounting bracket. Background Technology
[0002] Flow meter mounting brackets are devices used to support and fix flow meters, ensuring that they can accurately and stably measure flow. Flow meter mounting brackets used in open channels and rivers are mostly made of stainless steel, which is high in strength and corrosion-resistant, and suitable for various harsh working environments.
[0003] When installing a flow meter, the flow meter probe needs to be inserted into the mounting slot at the top of the bracket, ensuring that the probe passes through the slot without obstruction, so that the flow rate of the open channel can be detected. However, the inner diameter of the mounting slot is fixed, while the outer diameter of the probe varies between different models of flow meters. This makes it difficult for the mounting bracket to be compatible with different models of flow meters. Furthermore, when the models are incompatible, the flow meter may tilt inside the mounting slot, which reduces the practicality of the flow meter mounting bracket. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the problem that the outer diameter of probes from different flow meter models varies, making it difficult to fit mounting brackets to different flow meter models. Furthermore, when the model is incompatible, the flow meter may tilt inside the mounting groove, thus reducing the practicality of the flow meter mounting bracket. This invention provides a multi-functional flow meter mounting bracket.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multifunctional flow meter mounting bracket, comprising two support plates, two telescopic plates, and a mounting plate. The telescopic plates are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the support plates, and the mounting plate is welded to the top of the two telescopic plates. A driving assembly is disposed between the telescopic plates and the support plates. A mounting groove is provided on the top of the mounting plate, and an adjustment device is disposed inside the mounting groove. The adjustment device limits the flow meters of different models by moving and deforming the two thin metal plates.
[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting two thin metal plates, the flow meter installed in the mounting groove is limited by the movement and deformation of the thin metal plates. The thin metal plates can clamp and fix the flow meter, which helps to prevent the flow meter from tipping over. This makes the mounting bracket compatible with various models of flow meters, effectively improving the practicality of the flow meter mounting bracket.
[0007] Preferably, the adjusting device includes an extension cylinder, one side of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate. The inner wall of the extension cylinder is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove. Metal plates are symmetrically arranged inside the extension cylinder. Springs are fixedly installed in the middle of the two metal plates on opposite sides. One end of each spring is fixedly connected to one side of a telescopic plate. L-shaped plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of each metal plate. The two L-shaped plates are slidably arranged on the inner wall of the extension cylinder. Threaded rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the two mounting plates. One end of each L-shaped plate is slidably arranged on the outer surface of the threaded rod. Nuts are provided on opposite sides of the two L-shaped plates. The outer surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the nut.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the spring is not subjected to external force, the spring will compress the metal plates, causing the two metal plates to gradually approach the flow meter until one side of the metal plate abuts against the outer surface of the flow meter. Then, the two nuts on the threaded rod are rotated, and the two nuts move closer to each other. The nuts will drive the L-shaped rod to slide on the outer surface of the threaded rod. The L-shaped rod will drive one end of the metal plate to continue to move towards the flow meter, maximizing the contact area between the two metal plates and the flow meter until the limit position is reached. Then the metal plates can clamp and fix the flow meter.
[0009] Preferably, the spring has a round rod inside, the outer surface of the round rod is slidably mounted on the cylinder, one end of the round rod is fixedly mounted on one side of the metal sheet, and one end of the cylinder is fixedly mounted on one side of the telescopic plate.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting up the round rod and the cylinder, when the spring is deformed, it will drive the round rod to slide synchronously on the inner wall of the cylinder. The round rod and the cylinder can limit and guide the spring.
[0011] Preferably, a rubber plate is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two metal sheets that are close to each other, and one side of the rubber plate is arc-shaped.
[0012] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: by setting the rubber plate, the rubber plate itself is also easy to deform and will not hinder the deformation of the metal plate. At the same time, the rubber plate can replace one side of the metal plate to abut against the outer surface of the flow meter, increasing the friction between the metal plate and the flow meter, making the metal plate clamp the flow meter more secure, and also providing a certain degree of protection for the flow meter.
[0013] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to each of the two telescopic plates on the opposite sides, and the baffle is located at the bottom of the spring.
[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting the baffle, the top of the telescopic plate can be limited, which helps to prevent the top of the support plate from squeezing the spring during the adjustment of the telescopic plate.
[0015] Preferably, a fastening assembly is provided between the L-shaped plate and the mounting plate. The fastening assembly includes four screw hole blocks, which are fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped rod. Threaded pins are threaded into the inner wall of each screw hole block.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting the threaded pin and rotating the threaded pin, one end of the threaded pin abuts against the bottom of the mounting plate. The threaded pin can use the friction between itself and the mounting plate to assist in fixing the L-shaped rod, which helps to prevent the nut from shifting and causing the metal plate to loosen its clamping on the flow meter.
[0017] Preferably, the L-shaped rod and the screw hole block are provided with the same rubber strip on one side, and the rubber strip is adhered to the bottom of the mounting plate.
[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting the rubber strip, the friction between the threaded pin and the mounting plate can be increased, making the threaded pin more securely fixed to the L-shaped rod.
[0019] Preferably, one end of the threaded pin is fixedly connected to an operating block, and the outer surface of the operating block is provided with a protrusion.
[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting the operating block, rotating the operating block can drive the threaded rod to rotate. At the same time, the outer surface of the operating block is provided with protrusions, which can effectively increase the friction of the outer surface of the operating block and have an anti-slip effect when rotating the operating block.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] In this invention, the movement and deformation of two thin metal plates limit the flow meters of different models. By setting two thin metal plates, the flow meters installed in the mounting groove are clamped by the movement and deformation of the thin metal plates. The thin metal plates can clamp and fix the flow meters, which helps to prevent the flow meters from tipping over. As a result, the mounting bracket can be adapted to various models of flow meters, effectively improving the practicality of the flow meter mounting bracket. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment discloses a multifunctional flowmeter mounting bracket, including two support plates 1, two telescopic plates 2, and a mounting plate 3. The telescopic plates 2 are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the support plates 1, and the mounting plate 3 is welded to the top of the two telescopic plates 2. A drive assembly 7 is provided between the telescopic plates 2 and the support plates 1 (the drive assembly 7 can be an electric telescopic rod installed on one side of one support plate 1, with the output end of the electric telescopic rod connected to one side of the telescopic plate 2, which can drive the telescopic plate 2 to slide on the inner wall of the support plate 1, thereby adjusting the height of the flowmeter on the mounting plate 3). The top of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a mounting groove 4, and an adjustment device 5 is provided inside the mounting groove 4. The adjustment device 5 includes an extension cylinder 51, one side of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 3, and the inner wall of the extension cylinder 51 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 4. Metal thin plates 52 are symmetrically arranged inside the extension cylinder 51, and springs 53 are fixedly installed in the middle of the two metal thin plates 52 on opposite sides. One end of the spring 53 is fixed to one side of the telescopic plate 2. The connection involves symmetrically fixed L-shaped plates 54 on one side of the metal sheet 52. The two L-shaped plates 54 are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the extension cylinder 51. Threaded rods 55 are fixedly installed on both sides of the two mounting plates 3. One end of each L-shaped plate 54 is slidably disposed on the outer surface of the threaded rod 55. Nuts 56 are provided on the opposite sides of each L-shaped plate 54. The outer surface of the threaded rod 55 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the nut 56. When the spring 53 is not subjected to external force, it will compress the metal sheet 52, causing the two metal sheets 52 to gradually approach the flow meter until one side of the metal sheet 52 abuts against the outer surface of the flow meter. Then, the two nuts 56 on the threaded rod 55 are rotated, causing the two nuts 56 to approach each other. The nuts 56 will drive the L-shaped rod to slide on the outer surface of the threaded rod 55. The L-shaped rod will drive one end of the metal sheet 52 to continue moving towards the flow meter, maximizing the contact area between the two metal sheets 52 and the flow meter until the limit position is reached. In this way, the metal sheet 52 can clamp and fix the flow meter.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a round rod 57 is provided inside the spring 53. The outer surface of the round rod 57 is slidably mounted on the cylinder 58. One end of the round rod 57 is fixedly mounted on one side of the metal plate 52, and one end of the cylinder 58 is fixedly mounted on one side of the telescopic plate 2. By setting the round rod 57 and the cylinder 58, when the spring 53 is deformed, it will drive the round rod 57 to slide synchronously on the inner wall of the cylinder 58. The round rod 57 and the cylinder 58 can limit and guide the spring 53.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, rubber plates 59 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two metal plates 52 that are close to each other. One side of the rubber plate 59 is arc-shaped. By setting the rubber plate 59, the rubber plate 59 itself is easy to deform and will not hinder the deformation of the metal plates 52. At the same time, the rubber plate 59 can replace one side of the metal plates 52 to abut against the outer surface of the flow meter, increasing the friction between the metal plates 52 and the flow meter, making the clamping of the flow meter by the metal plates 52 more stable, and also providing a certain degree of protection for the flow meter. Baffles 510 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two telescopic plates 2 that are far apart from each other. The baffles 510 are set at the bottom of the spring 53. By setting the baffles 510, the top of the telescopic plates 2 can be limited, which helps to prevent the top of the support plate 1 from squeezing the spring 53 during the adjustment of the telescopic plates 2.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a fastening assembly 6 is provided between the L-shaped plate 54 and the mounting plate 3. The fastening assembly 6 includes four screw hole blocks 61. The screw hole blocks 61 are fixedly installed on one side of the L-shaped rod. Threaded pins 62 are threaded into the inner wall of the screw hole blocks 61. By setting the threaded pins 62 and rotating the threaded pins 62, one end of the threaded pins 62 abuts against the bottom of the mounting plate 3. The threaded pins 62 can use the friction between themselves and the mounting plate 3 to assist in fixing the L-shaped rod, which helps to prevent the nut 56 from shifting and causing the metal plate 52 to loosen its clamping of the flow meter.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the same rubber strip 63 is provided on one side of the L-shaped rod and the screw hole block 61. The rubber strip 63 is adhered to the bottom of the mounting plate 3. By providing the rubber strip 63, the friction between the threaded pin 62 and the mounting plate 3 can be increased, making the threaded pin 62 more securely fixed to the L-shaped rod. One end of the threaded pin 62 is fixedly connected to an operating block 64. The outer surface of the operating block 64 is provided with protrusions. By providing the operating block 64, rotating the operating block 64 can drive the threaded rod 55 to rotate. At the same time, the protrusions on the outer surface of the operating block 64 can effectively increase the friction on the outer surface of the operating block 64, and have an anti-slip effect when rotating the operating block 64.
[0033] Working principle: When the flow meter probe is placed in the mounting groove 4 and the extension cylinder 51, the spring 53, when not subjected to external force, will compress the metal plates 52, causing the two metal plates 52 to gradually approach the flow meter until the rubber plate 59 on one side of the metal plates 52 abuts against the outer surface of the flow meter. Then, the two nuts 56 on the threaded rod 55 are rotated, causing the two nuts 56 to move closer to each other. The nuts 56 will drive the L-shaped rod to slide on the outer surface of the threaded rod 55, and the L-shaped rod will drive one end of the metal plates 52 to continue moving towards the flow meter, making... The metal plate and rubber plate 59 deform to maximize the contact area between the two metal plates 52 and the flow meter until they reach their limit position. Then, the metal plates 52 can clamp and fix the flow meter. Then, the operating block 64 is rotated to drive the threaded pin 62 to rotate until one end of the threaded pin 62 abuts against the rubber strip 63 on one side of the mounting plate 3. Then, the threaded pin 62 can use the friction between itself and the mounting plate 3 to assist in fixing the L-shaped rod, which helps to prevent the nut 56 from shifting and causing the clamping of the metal plates 52 on the flow meter to loosen.
