DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to better understand the technical content of the utility model, the following specific embodiments are provided, and the utility model is further explained in combination with the drawings.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , a simplified structure of a commonly used pipe section type ultrasonic flowmeter is shown, which includes a flow pipe 2, both ends of the flow pipe 2 are provided with a second flange 5, and the second flange 5 is connected to the first flange 3 of the front and rear water pipes 1. The second flange hole 11 on the second flange 5 can be four or six or eight, or even more. Generally, considering uniform pressure application, the second flange hole 11 on the second flange 5 of the commonly used pipe section type ultrasonic flowmeter is more commonly used in six and eight. Of course, the larger the pipe diameter of the water pipe 1, the more the first flange hole 6 on the first flange 3 and the second flange hole 11 on the second flange 5, which needs to be determined according to specific use needs.

[0031] It should be particularly noted that when using the above scheme, the skilled person in the art should naturally select the same specification of the first flange 3 and the second flange 5, that is, the number of the first flange hole 6 and the second flange hole 11 is the same and the positions coincide one by one.

[0032] Under the connection condition that the pipe section type ultrasonic flowmeter and the water pipe 1 are connected through the flanges, when the pipe section type ultrasonic flowmeter is disassembled and reinstalled, due to the clamping of the front and rear water pipes 1, when the flow pipe 2 of the pipe section type ultrasonic flowmeter is inserted, the gasket connected between the first flange 3 and the second flange 5 will be stuck, resulting in deformation and displacement of the gasket.

[0033] Figure 1 At the same time, the first step of the device in use is also shown, that is, the first flange hole 6 and the second flange hole 11 between the first flange 3 and the second flange 5 are not completely connected through the connecting bolt 7 and the matched nut. And the Figure 2 The effect after the first flange hole 6 and the second flange hole 11 are completely connected through the connecting bolt 7 is shown.

[0034] Therefore, when using the device, the appropriate length is left out when arranging the water pipe 1 for the first time, that is, the shortest length of the flow pipe 2 plus the device is less than the length left between the two ends of the water pipe 1, and the longest length of the flow pipe 2 plus the device is greater than the length left between the two ends of the water pipe 1.

[0035] According to the above description, the specific structure and application principle of the device will be described. The ultrasonic flowmeter installation device convenient to maintain includes a plane connecting plate 4 and a tightening bolt 8. The front end face and the rear end face of the plane connecting plate 4 are planes. The front end face of the plane connecting plate 4 is further provided with a circular hole 16 in the rear direction. The front end face of the plane connecting plate 4 is further provided with an annular groove 13 in the rear direction. The circular hole 16 is arranged within the internal range of the annular groove 13. The circular hole 16 is not communicated with the annular groove 13. The rear end face of the plane connecting plate 4 is further provided with a groove 14 in the front direction. The circular hole 16 is arranged within the internal range of the groove 14. The circular hole 16 is communicated with the groove 14. The annular groove 13 is further detachably embedded with an annular front sealing gasket 9. When the rear end face of the front sealing gasket 9 abuts against the bottom of the annular groove 13, the front end face of the front sealing gasket 9 protrudes forward beyond the front end face of the plane connecting plate 4. The groove 14 is further detachably embedded with an annular rear sealing gasket 10. When the front end face of the rear sealing gasket 10 abuts against the bottom of the annular groove 13, the rear end face of the rear sealing gasket 10 protrudes rearward beyond the rear end face of the plane connecting plate 4. The front end face of the plane connecting plate 4 is further provided with a plurality of threaded holes 12 in the rear direction. The plurality of threaded holes 12 are equiangularly distributed with the center of the circular hole 16 as the center. The center of the plurality of threaded holes 12 is equal in distance to the center of the circular hole 16 to ensure that the plurality of threaded holes 12 are located on the same circumference. The length of the tightening bolt 8 is greater than the depth of the threaded hole 12. The tightening bolt 8 is detachably screwed in the threaded hole 12 from the rear of the threaded hole 12.

[0036] When using the above scheme, the flow pipe 2 is first placed vertically. Then the rear sealing gasket 10 is placed on the second flange 5 at the upper end of the flow pipe 2, so that the center of the annular rear sealing gasket 10 coincides with the center of the flow pipe 2. Then the rear end face of the plane connecting plate 4 is aligned with the second flange 5 on the flow pipe 2. The groove 14 accurately sleeves the rear sealing gasket 10, and the threaded hole 12 is aligned with the second flange hole 11.

[0037] It should be particularly noted that in the normal manufacturing logic, the person skilled in the art should default that the number of threaded holes 12 is the same as the number of second flange holes 11 and one-to-one corresponding.

[0038] Reference Figures 3 to 7Subsequently, the tightening bolt 8 is passed through the second flange hole 11 from the rear of the threaded hole 12, screwed into the threaded hole 12, and the tightening bolt 8 should be spaced one threaded hole 12 to be screwed to ensure that the flat connecting plate 4 and the second flange 5 are tightened to evenly compress the rear gasket 10. After the second flange 5 at both ends of the flow tube 2 is connected to the flat connecting plate 4, the flat connecting plate 4 is tightened by the tightening bolt 8, the distance between the flat connecting plate 4 and the second flange hole 11 is shortened by compressing the rear gasket 10, thereby reducing the total length of the flow tube 2 plus the two flat connecting plates 4. Subsequently, the front gasket 9 is sleeved into the annular groove 13, and the shortest length of the flow tube 2 plus the device is less than the length left between the two water pipes 1, and the flow tube 2 and the device are placed between the two water pipes 1, at this time the front gasket 9 will not be blocked by the first flange 3, so as to avoid deformation or displacement. Align the threaded hole 12 with the first flange hole 6, pass the connecting bolt 7 through the first flange hole 6, the threaded hole 12 and the second flange hole 11, and connect the nut, pre-tighten, then loosen the tightening bolt 8 uniformly, and tighten the connecting bolt 7 and the nut uniformly, under the elastic reset of the rear gasket 10, the front gasket 9 abuts against the first flange 3, and the front gasket 9 is gradually compressed to form a sealed connection under the action of the connecting bolt 7 and the nut. When the tightening bolt 8 and the connecting bolt 7 are adjusted to the appropriate degree, the longest length of the flow tube 2 plus the device is greater than the length left between the two water pipes 1, and the front gasket 9 and the rear gasket 10 are compressed to form a sealed connection, and the tightening bolt 8 is removed and replaced with the connecting bolt 7 and the nut. At this point, the installation of the device with the pipe section type ultrasonic flowmeter is completed.
