A movable block 320 is threaded onto the lead screw 310, with the threads at both ends of the lead screw 310 arranged in opposite directions. Two sets of movable blocks 320 are provided, and the two sets of movable blocks 320 are threaded onto both ends of the lead screw 310. A fixed block 330 is installed on one side of the movable block 320.

One side of the limiting plate 410 contacts the meter reading device body 600. The rotation of the threaded rod 430 causes the limiting block 440 to move, so that the limiting block 440 cooperates with the limiting plate 410 to vertically limit the meter reading device body 600, enabling the meter reading device body 600 to be quickly installed and fixed, and through the horizontal fixing mechanism... The structure 300 and the vertical limiting mechanism 400 can install and fix meter reading equipment bodies 600 of different sizes, enhancing practicality. At the same time, in places such as substations and gas pressure regulating stations where the usage of various equipment needs to be accurately measured and monitored, the meter reading equipment can be installed on the mounting frame.

Multiple meter reading devices can be installed on the same mounting frame to achieve centralized layout, which facilitates unified management and maintenance of the equipment by the staff, reduces the time and cost of inspection and maintenance, ensures that the meter reading equipment is installed in a standardized and neat manner, and facilitates the staff to perform installation, debugging, inspection and replacement operations.

[0024] In some specific implementations, an external support 450 is installed at one end of the threaded rod 430, and a limit block 440 is elastically configured and has anti-slip texture on one side.

[0025] In some specific implementations, the transmission mechanism 500 includes a housing 510, which is mounted on one side of the mounting base 200.
