[0002] The balanced flow meter is a special differential pressure flow meter, which adopts a unique equal Reynolds number and increases the thickness and machining precision of the throttling element to make the flow performance close to the Venturi, and has a simple and safe structure and a qualitative leap in performance. The ingenious structure design can achieve high-precision long-term stable measurement with relatively small permanent pressure loss under the shortest straight pipe requirement.
[0003] The patent with publication number CN210293360U discloses a balanced flow meter sensor convenient to install, which comprises a connecting pipe, the other end of the metal paddle is sleeved with an auxiliary shaft, the upper and lower sides of the main shaft are fixedly connected with the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the outer ring, and the side surface of the outer ring is inlaid with teeth. This design can control the rotation of the outer ring by rotating the teeth to drive the arc-shaped rod to clamp or open the metal paddle. The sensor is inserted into the pipeline, and the notch on the surface of the sensor is aligned with the middle of the inner ring.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 With Figure 4 , the two groups of right-angle ladder blocks 33 are fixedly provided with push-pull rods 34 on the side away from the flowmeter body 2, one end of the push-pull rod 34 penetrates and extends to the outside of the installation pipe 11, and the end of the push-pull rod 34 away from the right-angle ladder block 33 is provided with a guide groove 35, by pulling the push-pull rod 34 to the outside of the installation pipe 11, the oblique edge end of the right-angle ladder block 33 can be pulled away from the insertion hole 21, so that the flowmeter body 2 is separated from the fixing, and the flowmeter body 2 can be quickly disassembled.
[0033] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the fixing ring 3 is slidably provided with a pressing mechanism outside for pulling away the two groups of right-angle ladder blocks 33 from the insertion hole 21 after moving downward, the pressing mechanism comprises a sliding ring 4 slidably provided outside the matched installation pipe 11, and two groups of pressing rods 41 fixedly connected at the bottom of the sliding ring 4 and matched and abutted at the guide groove 35 of the push-pull rod 34, the bottom of the pressing rod 41 is provided with a guide slope 42 for guiding the push-pull rod 34 to be pushed to the outside of the installation pipe 11 after the pressing rod 41 moves downward, and the guide slope 42 of the pressing rod 41 abuts at the guide groove 35 of the push-pull rod 34.
[0034] When the sliding ring 4 is pressed downward, the pressing rod 41 will move downward, at this time, the end of the guide slope 42 of the pressing rod 41 will be guided by the slope in the guide groove 35, and the two groups of push-pull rods 34 will be pushed to the outside of the installation pipe 11, thereby pulling the oblique edge end of the two groups of right-angle ladder blocks 33 away from the insertion hole 21, so that the flowmeter body 2 is separated from the fixing, at this time, the staff can pull out the bottom end of the flowmeter body 2 from the fixing ring 3, to quickly disassemble the flowmeter body 2.
[0035] Referring to Figure 2 With Figure 5The bottom of the fixed ring 3 is fixed with a blocking ring 5 below the flowmeter body 2.

At this time, the bottom end of the flowmeter body 2 will be guided by the inclined surface at the inclined edge end of the right-angle ladder block 33, and the right-angle ladder block 33 will be completely pressed into the sliding groove 31. With the continuous insertion of the flowmeter body 2, the insertion hole 21 of the flowmeter body 2 will move to one side of the right-angle ladder block 33. At this time, the inclined edge end of the right-angle ladder block 33 will automatically align and be inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the flowmeter body 2 under the elastic force of the return spring 32, thereby connecting and fixing the fixed ring 3 and the flowmeter body 2 to complete the installation of the flowmeter body 2.
[0038] When the flowmeter body 2 is installed, the sealing ring 51 can be tightly pressed between the fixed ring 3 and the flowmeter body 2 under the pressure of the fluid in the installation pipe 11, thereby improving the sealing effect between the fixed ring 3 and the flowmeter body 2.
[0039] When the flowmeter body 2 needs to be disassembled, the sliding ring 4 can be pressed downward to drive the pressing rod 41 to move downward. At this time, the guide inclined surface 42 end of the pressing rod 41 will be guided by the inclined surface in the guide groove 35, and the two groups of push-pull rods 34 will be pushed to the outside of the installation pipe 11 at the same time, thereby pulling the inclined edge end of the two groups of right-angle ladder blocks 33 away from the insertion hole 21, so that the flowmeter body 2 is separated from the fixed ring 3. At this time, the worker can pull out the bottom end of the flowmeter body 2 from the fixed ring 3 to quickly disassemble the flowmeter body 2.
