Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial manufacturing, and specifically relates to a transport device for processing flow meters. Background Technology

[0002] A flow meter is an instrument used to measure the flow rate of fluids (including liquids and gases). Common types include differential pressure flow meters, volumetric flow meters, turbine flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, and ultrasonic flow meters.

[0003] Transportation is crucial throughout the lifecycle of a flow meter. On one hand, flow meters are typically manufactured centrally by specialized companies and then transported to various locations around the world for installation and commissioning. These locations encompass complex and varied industrial environments, such as high-temperature, high-pressure oil refineries, humid and corrosive wastewater treatment plants, and relatively milder but highly accuracy-critical pharmaceutical workshops. On the other hand, when a flow meter malfunctions and needs to be returned to the factory for repair, regular calibration and maintenance, or a new model needs to be installed due to technological upgrades, a safe and reliable transportation process is equally essential.

[0004] For example, the patent with announcement number CN218369097U discloses a transport device for processing flowmeters, which includes a flowmeter body, flange, fixed base, bottom cylinder, connecting cylinder, fixing part, positioning seat, adjusting mechanism, screw, sliding column and sliding groove, thereby fixing the flowmeter body and increasing the stability of the flowmeter body during processing and transportation.

[0005] The aforementioned patent uses the connection between the rotating block and the rotating bar to rotate the main gear, thereby driving two sets of limiting seats to move closer to the flow meter and clamp the flow meter's inlet position. However, due to the small contact area between the limiting seat and the flow meter's inlet position, when the flow meter is transported, the frictional force exerted by the limiting seat on the flow meter's inlet is limited when encountering bumps or shaking during transportation. This makes it difficult to effectively restrict the flow meter's horizontal movement. At the same time, the small contact area cannot provide sufficient support to suppress the flow meter's vertical swaying, which may cause the flow meter to bounce up and down during transportation. This phenomenon has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0020] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the present invention, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4The present invention provides a technical solution: a transport device for flow meter processing, comprising two sets of base plates 1, and a fixed box (not shown in the figure) connected to one end of the two sets of base plates 1. A groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the base plate 1, and a moving mechanism 2 is fixedly installed in the groove. The moving mechanism 2 has two sets. The moving mechanism 2 includes a motor 201 fixedly installed on the side of the fixed box. The output end of the motor 201 passes through the fixed box. The output end of the motor 201 is fixedly installed on a first bevel gear 202. A fixed rod 204 is fixedly installed on the fixed box. A movable rod 207 is connected to the fixed rod 204 by a bearing. The movable rod 207 passes through the fixed rod 204. A second bevel gear 203 and two sets of third bevel gears 205 are fixedly installed on the movable rod 207. The second bevel gear 203 and the first bevel gear 202 mesh with each other.

[0022] A lead screw 208 is connected to a bearing on the base plate 1. The lead screw 208 has two sets of screw grooves with opposite helical directions (not shown in the figure). A fourth bevel gear 206 is fixedly installed at the top of the lead screw 208. The fourth bevel gear 206 meshes with a set of third bevel gears 205. The fourth bevel gear 206 and the third bevel gear 205 can form a bevel gear set. Moving blocks 209 are threadedly connected to the two sets of opposite screw grooves of the lead screw 208.

[0023] After the motor 201 starts, its output end drives the first bevel gear 202 to rotate, thereby driving the bevel gear set to mesh and transmit power. Since the second bevel gear 203 is fixedly mounted on the movable rod 207, as the second bevel gear 203 rotates, the movable rod 207 will also rotate around the bearing connection point with the fixed rod 204. The third bevel gear 205 is also fixedly mounted on the movable rod 207, and the third bevel gear 205 will rotate together with the movable rod 207, and the third bevel gear 205 will engage with the fourth bevel gear 206. In the meshing transmission, the fourth bevel gear 206 starts to rotate under the drive of the third bevel gear 205. Since the fourth bevel gear 206 is fixedly installed at the top of the lead screw 208, the lead screw 208 will rotate along with it. The lead screw 208 is provided with two sets of spiral grooves with opposite directions of rotation, and both ends of it are threadedly connected to the moving blocks 209. When the lead screw 208 rotates, according to the principle of thread transmission, under the action of the two sets of spiral grooves with opposite directions of rotation, the moving blocks 209 at both ends will move linearly along the lead screw 208 in relative or opposite directions.

[0024] The base plate 1 is provided with a telescopic assembly 3. The telescopic assembly 3 has two sets and is symmetrically arranged. The telescopic assembly 3 includes two sets of docking units installed on the movable block 209. The docking units are defined as the first docking unit and the second docking unit respectively. The first docking unit and the second docking unit have similar structures. The first docking unit includes a support rod 301 fixedly installed on the movable block 209. A cylinder 302 is fixedly installed on the support rod 301. A first clamping ring 303 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 302. A second clamping ring 304 is fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 302 of the second docking unit.

[0025] The first clamping ring 303 is hinged to two ends with rotating rods 307, and the two ends of the second clamping ring 304 are fixedly installed with mating plates 305. The mating plates 305 have notches (not shown in the figure). The rotating rods 307 can rotate to engage with the notches. The rotating rods 307 are threaded with nuts 308. Tightening the nuts 308 makes the first clamping ring 303 and the second clamping ring 304 fit together.

[0026] When cylinder 302 in telescopic assembly 3 is activated, cylinder 302 begins to extend after receiving the command. For the first docking unit, the output end of cylinder 302 pushes the first clamping ring 303 toward the flow meter. Similarly, cylinder 302 of the second docking unit pushes the second clamping ring 304 toward the flow meter. As the two clamping rings approach, the rotating rods 307 at both ends of the first clamping ring 303 gradually approach the docking plates 305 at both ends of the second clamping ring 304. When the rotating rods 307 are aligned with the notch on the docking plate 305, they can be gently rotated to smoothly engage with the notch. The nut 308 on the rotating rods 307 is then tightened. As the nut 308 is tightened, it will exert an inward pulling force on the rotating rods 307, thereby making the first clamping ring 303 and the second clamping ring 304 fit together tightly and firmly clamp the flow meter from both sides.

[0027] This clamping method not only utilizes the power provided by the cylinder 302 to achieve initial positioning and rapid approach, but also ensures the firmness of the clamping through the clever cooperation between the rotating rod 307 and the docking plate 305 and the fastening effect of the nut 308. It can effectively prevent the flow meter from being damaged by displacement, collision and other phenomena due to bumps and shaking during transportation, and provide reliable transportation guarantee for the flow meter.

[0028] A support assembly 4 is provided on the base plate 1. The support assembly 4 has two sets and is symmetrically arranged. The support assembly 4 includes a fixing plate 406 fixedly installed between the two sets of base plates 1. The base plate 1 has a fixing groove 409 adapted to the fixing plate 406. The fixing plate 406 has a placement groove 408 for initial placement of the flow meter.

[0029] The fixed plate 406 has openings 405 on both sides, and a guide rod 401 is fixedly installed in the openings 405. The guide rod 401 passes through the base plate 1. At the same time, a through groove 407 adapted to the size of the guide rod 401 is opened on the base plate 1. The width of the guide rod 401 is smaller than the width of the openings 405. A movable sleeve 403 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 401. A support diagonal rod 402 is fixedly installed on the movable sleeve 403. A fastener 404 is threadedly connected to the movable sleeve 403.

[0030] When it is necessary to place the flow meter for transportation preparation, the flow meter can be placed in the placement slot 408 on the fixing plate 406. The placement slot 408 is designed according to the common shape contour of the flow meter and can accurately fit the bottom of the flow meter. On the one hand, it plays a preliminary positioning role for the flow meter, so that it will not easily roll or shift before subsequent operations.

[0031] The movable sleeve 403 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 401, and the width of the guide rod 401 is smaller than the width of the opening slot 405. This provides sufficient room for the movable sleeve 403 to move smoothly left and right along the guide rod 401. As the movable sleeve 403 moves, the support inclined rod 402 fixed on it also changes position, so that one end can be in close contact with the side of the flow meter, thereby providing additional support for the flow meter.

[0032] After determining the optimal position of the support rod 402, the fasteners 404 on the movable sleeve 403 are tightened to secure the fasteners 404 to the guide rod 401, thereby firmly locking the movable sleeve 403 in its current position. This ensures that the support rod 402 will not shift due to external forces such as vibration or shaking during the entire transportation process, and will always provide reliable support for the flow meter.

[0033] Working principle;

[0034] When starting to transport the flow meter, place it into the placement slot 408 of the fixed plate 406. The operator can then manually adjust the support assembly 4 so that the movable sleeve 403 can slide smoothly left and right along the guide rod 401. As the movable sleeve 403 moves, the position of the support rod 402 changes synchronously, so that one end of it is in close contact with the side of the flow meter, providing additional support for the flow meter. After determining the position of the support rod 402, tighten the fasteners 404 on the movable sleeve 403 so that it is tightly pressed against the guide rod 401, and the movable sleeve 403 is firmly locked. This ensures that the support rod 402 will not be displaced due to external forces such as vibration and shaking during the entire transportation process, and provides reliable support for the flow meter.

[0035] Simultaneously, the moving mechanism 2 is activated to further assist the fixed flow meter. The motor 201 is started, and the output end of the motor 201 drives the first bevel gear 202 to start rotating. According to the gear meshing transmission principle, when the first bevel gear 202 rotates, it meshes with the second bevel gear 203, driving the second bevel gear 203 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 203 is fixedly installed on the movable rod 207, the movable rod 207 rotates around the bearing connection point with the fixed rod 204. The third bevel gear 205 on the movable rod 207 also rotates together and meshes with the fourth bevel gear 206, driving the fourth bevel gear 206 to rotate. Since the fourth bevel gear 206 is fixedly installed on the top of the lead screw 208, the lead screw 208 rotates accordingly. Since the lead screw 208 has two sets of spiral grooves with opposite spiral directions, and its two ends are threadedly connected to the moving blocks 209, according to the thread transmission principle, when the lead screw 208 rotates, the moving blocks 209 at both ends will move linearly in the opposite or opposite directions along the lead screw 208, realizing precise position adjustment for subsequent clamping actions.

[0036] Next, the telescopic assembly 3 is activated for final flow meter fixation. Cylinder 302 is activated; for the first docking unit, the output end of cylinder 302 pushes the first clamping ring 303 towards the flow meter. Similarly, cylinder 302 of the second docking unit pushes the second clamping ring 304 towards the flow meter. As the two clamping rings approach, the rotating rods 307 at both ends of the first clamping ring 303 gradually approach the docking plates 305 at both ends of the second clamping ring 304. When the rotating rods 307 align with the notch / groove on the docking plate 305, gently rotate the rotating rods 307 to smoothly engage them in the notch / groove. Tighten the nuts 308 on the rotating rods 307. As the nuts 308 tighten, an inward pulling force is applied to the rotating rods 307, causing the first clamping rings 303 and 304 to fit tightly together, securely clamping the flow meter from both sides. This clamping method uses the power of cylinder 302 to achieve initial positioning and rapid approach. Then, through the clever cooperation between rotating rod 307 and docking plate 305 and the fastening effect of nut 308, the clamping is ensured to be firm. This effectively prevents the flow meter from being displaced or damaged by collisions during transportation due to bumps and shaking, and provides reliable transportation protection for the flow meter.

[0037] When it is necessary to disassemble the flow meter, simply follow the reverse order. First, loosen nut 308, turn the rotating rod 307 out of the notch in the docking plate 305, activate cylinder 302 to retract it, remove the two clamping rings, then loosen fastener 404, adjust the support rod 402 away from the flow meter, and finally remove the flow meter. The entire transport device is now ready for the next transport task.

[0038] In summary, the transport device, through the precise position adjustment of the moving mechanism 2, the stable clamping of the telescopic component 3, and the flexible support of the support component 4, works in concert to comprehensively ensure the stability and safety of flow meters of different specifications during transportation, and greatly reduces the risk of flow meter damage caused by various unstable factors during transportation.
