[0026] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 In the embodiments of the utility model, a water flow sensor comprises an electromagnetic flowmeter 1 composed of a sensor main body 101, a measuring tube 102, a connecting flange 103 and a transmitter 104. The sensor main body 101 is fixed to the middle outer side of the measuring tube 102. The connecting flange 103 is symmetrically fixed to the two ends of the measuring tube 102. The transmitter 104 is installed on the top of the sensor main body 101. Four fixed legs 2 are uniformly fixed on the outer side ring of the connecting flange 103. The two downward fixed legs 2 contact the ground at the bottom end to realize stable placement of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1.

[0027] A through -going opening 3 is formed at one end of the fixed leg 2 and extends through the other end of the fixed leg 2. An auxiliary installation component 4 is arranged on the outer side of the measuring tube 102 and penetrates the through -going opening 3. The auxiliary installation component 4 provides auxiliary limiting for installation of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1.

[0028] The auxiliary installation component 4 comprises a limiting unit and a lifting unit.

[0029] The limiting unit is used for sleeving and limiting with the flange on the pipeline to realize preliminary limiting of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 in the middle of the two pipelines.

[0030] The lifting unit is used for providing a lifting position for the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 and performing contraction operation for the limiting unit.

[0031] The limiting unit comprises a ring seat 401 and a limiting rod 402.

[0032] The ring seat 401 is provided with two ring seats 401, and the two ring seats 401 are respectively located at the two ends of the sensor main body 101 and the middle of the connecting flange 103 and are sleeved on the outer side of the measuring tube 102.

[0033] The limiting rods 402 are symmetrically fixed to the ends of the two ring seats 401 away from each other and pass through the through holes 3, and the four limiting rods 402 on the same end protrude to connect the end of the flange 103 and are sleeved with the flange on the pipeline, so as to realize the preliminary limiting of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1.

[0034] The lifting unit includes n-shaped plates 403, L-shaped handles 404, and W-shaped elastic sheets 405.

[0035] The n-shaped plates 403 are fixed outside the ring seats 401 and extend above the sensor main body 101, the L-shaped handles 404 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the two n-shaped plates 403 and are above the transmitter 104, and the L-shaped handles 404 are used to provide a hand holding position for lifting operation.

[0036] The W-shaped elastic sheets 405 are distributed at the bottom of the two L-shaped handles 404, and the two ends of the W-shaped elastic sheets 405 are respectively connected and fixed with the two n-shaped plates 403, and the W-shaped elastic sheets 405 are used to provide a mutual pushing force for the two n-shaped plates 403.

[0037] The through holes 3 are in contact with the outer side of the connecting flange 103, and the distribution track inner diameter of the multiple limiting rods 402 distributed in a ring shape matches the outer diameter of the connecting flange 103 and the flange on the pipeline.

[0038] In this embodiment: It needs to be pointed out that: the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 is a common type flange type electromagnetic flowmeter on the market (such as: FM40 type electromagnetic flowmeter, EMFM KFD9000 type electromagnetic flowmeter), and its flow monitoring principle is the same, therefore, the flow monitoring principle is not described in detail here;

[0039] When the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 is stored and placed daily, the four downward distributed fixed legs 2 of the two connecting flanges 103 can be removed to contact the ground, so that the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 can be stably placed, at the same time, the two n-shaped plates 403 and the two L-shaped handles 404 can form a protective effect on the front and rear ends, the two sides and the top of the transmitter 104, when the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 is tilted due to accidental circumstances, the transmitter 104 can be effectively prevented from contacting and colliding with the ground, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the transmitter 104;

[0040] When the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 is transferred, the two L-shaped handles 404 can be gripped for lifting operation, which is more convenient for transfer, in addition, when the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 is transferred, the L-shaped handles 404 can also be lifted, and in this process, the W-shaped elastic sheets 405 are squeezed and contracted, the two ring seats 401 move close to each other, and the end surface of the limiting rod 402 is flush with the end surface of the connecting flange 103, so that the limiting rod 402 does not interfere with the butt joint of the connecting flange 103 and the flange on the pipeline.

[0041] After the flange 103 and the flange on the pipeline are connected, the pressure on the L-shaped handle 404 is slowly released (it should be noted that the sensor body 101 can be lifted by the other hand at this time to ensure the stability of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1), at this time, the two L-shaped handles 404 are away from each other under the elastic force of the W-shaped elastic sheet 405, so that the two ring seats 401 are away from each other and push the limiting rods 402 to move out of the end of the connecting flange 103, at this time, the four limiting rods 402 distributed on the same end are limited outside the flange on the pipeline, thereby realizing the preliminary limiting of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1.

[0042] At this time, the lifting and pulling operation of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 can be released, and only one hand is needed to apply a certain balance force to the electromagnetic flowmeter 1, then the bolt is connected through the connecting hole on the flange for connection and reinforcement, the whole operation is easy and convenient (it should be noted that after the first bolt is connected through the two flanges, the support of the electromagnetic flowmeter 1 can be released).

[0043] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 , the inner diameter of the ring seat 401 is greater than the outer diameter of the measuring pipe 102 and less than the outer diameter of the sensor body 101, when the ring seat 401 is attached to the end face of the sensor body 101, the end face of the limiting rod 402 is flush with the end face of the connecting flange 103.

[0044] In the embodiment, the movement of the ring seat 401 will not cause friction and scratching to the outer wall of the measuring pipe 102, at the same time, the sensor body 101 provides limiting for the shrinkage movement of the ring seat 401, avoiding the separation of the limiting rod 402 and the through hole 3.

[0045] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
