Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the present embodiment provides a technical solution: a gas ultrasonic flow rate measuring device, comprising a flow pipe 1 and an ultrasonic measuring body 4, further comprising an automatic cleaning assembly 2, the automatic cleaning assembly 2 comprising a pipe 21 fixedly connected to the outside of the flow pipe 1, the top end of the pipe 21 being fixedly connected with a connecting flange 5, the outside of the ultrasonic measuring body 4 being fixedly connected to the connecting flange 5, the inside of the pipe 21 being provided with a sliding slot 22 on both sides, the sliding slot 22 being slidingly connected with a limit sliding block 23; wherein the limit sliding block 23 is fixedly connected with a connecting ring 24 inside, the connecting ring 24 is fixedly connected with a mounting ring 25 inside, the mounting ring 25 is fixedly connected with a cleaning rubber 26 inside, the cleaning rubber 26 is provided with a cross hollow groove 27 inside, the top end of the cleaning rubber 26 is fixedly connected with a sponge 28, the top end of the flow pipe 1 of the cross hollow groove 27 is in contact with the outside of the ultrasonic measuring body 4, and the top end of the flow pipe 1 of the sponge 28 is in contact with the outside of the ultrasonic measuring body 4;

[0029] The flow pipe 1 is a channel for gas flow, providing a basic path for gas ultrasonic flow rate measurement, ensuring that the gas can flow stably therein, enabling the ultrasonic wave to propagate smoothly in the gas, thereby creating conditions for flow rate measurement. The ultrasonic measurement body 4 is the core component of the gas ultrasonic flow rate measurement, which contains ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. By transmitting ultrasonic waves and receiving reflected ultrasonic signals, the ultrasonic propagation time difference in the gas is used to calculate the flow rate of the gas. The pipeline 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the flow pipe 1, serving as a container and installation for other components of the automatic cleaning assembly 2, providing a space for the cleaning device to install and operate. The connecting flange 5 fixedly connects the ultrasonic measurement body 4 to the pipeline 21, ensuring a tight connection between the ultrasonic measurement body 4 and the pipeline 21, while providing convenience for the installation and removal of the ultrasonic measurement body 4. The sliding groove 22 provides a sliding track for the limiting sliding block 23, which slides within the sliding groove 22, thereby driving the cleaning rubber 26 and other cleaning components to move up and down, achieving cleaning of the outside of the ultrasonic measurement body 4. The connecting ring 24 and the mounting ring 25 are used to fixedly connect the limiting sliding block 23 and the cleaning rubber 26, respectively, and install the cleaning rubber 26 on the limiting sliding block 23, so that it can move with the sliding of the limiting sliding block 23. The cleaning rubber 26 physically wipes and cleans the outside of the ultrasonic measurement body 4, removing dust, oil stains and other impurities on the surface. Through the flexibility and wear resistance of the cleaning rubber 26, it can be fitted along the surface of the ultrasonic measurement body 4. The cross hollow groove 27 forms a hollow structure inside the cleaning rubber 26, which can better fit the surface of the ultrasonic measurement body 4 when in contact with it, then avoid blocking the probe of the ultrasonic measurement body 4 during work. The sponge 28 further enhances the cleaning effect and cooperates with the cleaning rubber 26 to perform secondary cleaning on the outside of the ultrasonic measurement body 4, absorbing and adsorbing liquid impurities, etc.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 - Figure 5 :

[0034] In use: first, when the gas flows in the flow pipe 1, the spring 33 is compressed and stretched by the gas flow, and then drives the sliding block 32 to slide up and down in the sliding groove 22, the sliding block 32 is rigidly connected with the limiting sliding block 23 through the connecting column 34 fixedly connected at the top, so as to drive the limiting sliding block 23 to move up and down along the sliding groove 22, the movement of the limiting sliding block 23 is transmitted to the mounting ring 25 through the connecting ring 24 connected inside, so as to drive the cleaning rubber 26 and the sponge 28 at the top thereof to move vertically and reciprocally as a whole, in the process, the cleaning rubber 26 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the ultrasonic measurement body 4 through the flexible deformation of the cross hollow groove 27, and physical scraping cleaning is realized by using the high friction coefficient of the rubber material; the sponge 28 in synchronous movement is cleaned twice by adsorption, and the two form a composite cleaning layer.
