Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial instrument installation equipment technology, specifically an auxiliary device for the transfer and installation of large mass flow meters. Background Technology
[0002] Mass flow meters are large and heavy (e.g., DN80 diameter weighs over 80kg, DN200 diameter weighs over 270kg), requiring multiple people or crane assistance for transport and installation, resulting in low efficiency and safety hazards. Current technology allows manual clamping only to fix the area near the flange, making angle adjustment difficult, and lacks dedicated equipment suitable for various diameters. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an easy-to-operate, integrated auxiliary device to improve installation efficiency and reduce labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses an auxiliary device for the transfer and installation of a mass flow meter.
[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] A mass flow meter transfer and installation auxiliary device includes: an electric lifting stacker, wherein the lifting fork of the electric lifting stacker is provided with a self-locking rotating mechanism, the self-locking rotating mechanism includes a manual rotating wheel, the end of the manual rotating wheel is fixedly connected to a worm gear reducer, the end of the worm gear reducer is connected to a connecting shaft, and the end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to a clamping arm.
[0006] The connecting shaft is externally fitted with a bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixed in the housing.
[0007] The clamping arms are mounted on the connecting shaft, and the clamping arms are equipped with flange clamps, which are assembled and fixed with the mass flow meter.
[0008] The clamping arm consists of a fixed plate and a connecting plate. Both the fixed plate and the connecting plate are provided with waist holes. The fixed plate is arranged parallel to the housing, and the connecting plate is L-shaped and assembled with the fixed plate and fixed by bolts.
[0009] The advantages of this utility model are: compared with traditional hoisting methods, it can improve efficiency. This device integrates clamping, moving, lifting and rotating functions into one unit through a multi-functional integrated design, realizing efficient operation by a single person and reducing the complexity of manual assistance. This device is compatible with mass flow meters of various pipe diameters from DN50 to DN200. The clamping arm length is adjustable from 500mm to 1100mm, which can flexibly match different specifications of flow meters and has strong versatility. It is easy to operate. Rotation, lifting and clamping operations can be completed by manually rotating the wheel and controlling the handle, reducing the difficulty of operation. This device ensures the stability of the flow meter during operation through a self-locking rotating mechanism and flange clamps, reducing the risk of installation accidents. It provides higher safety guarantee, especially during the handling and installation of heavy objects. At the same time, the device is equipped with a reducer, which can realize precise speed adjustment, ensuring the accuracy of the flow meter when rotating and adjusting the angle, and meeting the needs of different installation postures.
