Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flow meter construction, specifically to flow meter mounting and disassembly brackets. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial and commercial sectors, various industrial and commercial users widely use flow meters to accurately measure the flow rate of fluids in order to achieve precise control of the production process and fair and just trade settlement. According to relevant regulations and metrological standards, in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of flow meter measurement data, it is necessary to disassemble and verify them regularly. However, the disassembly and assembly process of flow meters currently faces many difficulties, which seriously affects work efficiency.
[0003] Flow meters used by industrial and commercial users are usually connected at both ends by a circular flange structure. During disassembly and installation, the lack of stable support and fulcrum makes the operation very difficult. When disassembling, the staff needs to carefully loosen the connecting bolts while preventing the flow meter from tipping over due to loss of balance. Once the flow meter tipps over, it may not only damage the equipment and increase maintenance costs, but also delay the calibration time and affect the normal production and operation of industrial and commercial users.
[0004] In terms of handling, the design of the circular flange makes it difficult to hold and move the flow meter securely, especially for some large and heavy flow meters. The handling process is even more difficult, and the staff need to spend a lot of physical strength and energy to ensure the safety of the flow meter during the handling process. This not only increases labor costs, but also easily leads to staff fatigue and further reduces work efficiency.
[0005] For flow meters with larger diameters, there is a lack of effective load-bearing machinery to assist in the disassembly and assembly process. The current operation method is to disassemble them directly on the spot, then place them on the ground manually, and then lift the spare flow meter from the ground for installation. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also requires workers to be extra careful during the operation due to the lack of load-bearing machinery, resulting in slow operation speed and excessive time consumption. After analysis, the lack of load-bearing machinery during the disassembly and assembly process has been identified as the main reason for the excessive time consumption in the disassembly and assembly of flow meters.
[0006] This utility model was proposed in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0007] Regarding the aforementioned technical problem of the lack of effective load-bearing mechanical assistance during the disassembly and assembly of flow meters with larger diameters, resulting in excessively long disassembly and assembly times, this paper addresses the issue of the lack of effective load-bearing mechanical assistance during the disassembly and assembly process of flow meters with larger diameters.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0009] The flow meter mounting bracket includes a tray component, a telescopic bracket component, and a base component arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The telescopic bracket component includes an adjusting rod assembly and a height adjustment assembly. The top end of the adjusting rod assembly is connected to the tray component, and the height adjustment assembly can adjust the height of the top end of the adjusting rod assembly on the base component to adjust the height of the tray component on the base component.
[0010] The flow meter mounting bracket described above includes a first height telescopic member located between the adjusting rod assembly and the base component.
[0011] As described above, the flow meter mounting bracket includes a base component comprising a chassis and a bracket mounted on the chassis, the bracket being provided with a fixing sleeve through which the adjusting rod assembly passes.
[0012] As described above, the flow meter mounting bracket includes a top rod and a bottom rod that are movably connected to each other, and the height adjustment component includes a second height telescopic member disposed between the top rod and the bottom rod.
[0013] As described above, in the flow meter mounting bracket, the second height telescopic component includes a nut fixed inside the base rod, and the nut is threadedly connected to the top rod;
[0014] Alternatively, the second height telescopic member has a first thread on the outside of the top rod and a second thread on the inside of the bottom rod, and the top rod and the bottom rod are threaded together by the cooperation of the first thread and the second thread.
[0015] As described above, the flow meter mounting bracket has a fixing component on one side of the base rod that can fix the top rod. The fixing component includes a fixing housing on one side of the base rod and a pin that is movably connected to the fixing housing. The fixing end of the pin can pass through the base rod and be inserted into the threads of the top rod.
[0016] As described above, the flow meter mounting bracket further includes a reset component that enables the fixed end of the pin to remain inserted between the threads of the push rod.
[0017] As described above, the flow meter mounting bracket includes a tray adjustment assembly and two flow meter trays. The tray adjustment assembly includes a flow meter fixing rod and tray adjustment rods located at both ends of the flow meter fixing rod. Each tray adjustment rod is connected to a corresponding flow meter tray, and each tray adjustment rod is movably connected to the tray adjustment rod to adjust the distance between the two flow meter trays.
[0018] As described above, the flow meter mounting bracket has a positioning component between each flow meter tray and the flow meter fixing rod.

[0019] The flow meter mounting bracket described above further includes a movable component connected to the base component, the movable component including casters disposed on the base component.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] This utility model relates to the technical field of flow meter installation and removal bracket, and includes a tray component, a telescopic bracket component, and a base component arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The telescopic bracket component includes an adjusting rod assembly and a height adjustment assembly. The top end of the adjusting rod assembly is connected to the tray component, and the height adjustment assembly can adjust the height of the top end of the adjusting rod assembly on the base component, thereby adjusting the height of the tray component on the base component. When it is necessary to disassemble or install flow meters at different heights, the operator can operate the height adjustment assembly to change the height of the adjusting rod assembly, so that the tray component reaches a suitable height position to fit the flow meter. During disassembly and installation, the flow meter is placed on the tray component. Since the tray component provides stable support, and the operation process is simpler after using this bracket, the reliance on a large amount of manpower is reduced, and the overall work efficiency is improved.
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the fixing component of this utility model (the fixing shell is hidden). Detailed Implementation
[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the flow meter mounting bracket of this embodiment includes a tray component 1, a telescopic bracket component, and a base component 2 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The telescopic bracket component includes an adjusting rod assembly 3 and a height adjustment assembly 4. The top end of the adjusting rod assembly 3 is connected to the tray component 1. The height adjustment assembly 4 can adjust the height of the top end of the adjusting rod assembly 3 on the base component 2, so as to adjust the height of the tray component 1 on the base component 2.
[0030] Specifically, the flow meter mounting bracket is placed on the ground via the base component 2, providing a stable support foundation for the entire bracket system. The tray component 1 is used to support the flow meter that needs to be disassembled or installed. The adjusting rod assembly 3 connects the tray component 1 and the base component 2, serving to transmit force and provide connection. The height adjustment component 4 uses a specific mechanical structure (such as a screw and nut structure, hydraulic structure, etc.) to change the height of the top of the adjusting rod assembly 3 relative to the base component 2, thereby achieving the adjustment of the height of the tray component 1.
[0031] When it is necessary to disassemble or install flow meters at different heights, the operator can operate the height adjustment component 4. (If it is a screw and nut structure, rotating the screw will cause the nut to move up and down along the screw, and the top of the adjusting rod component 3 connected to the nut will also rise or fall accordingly, thereby raising or lowering the tray component 1; if it is a hydraulic structure, by injecting or withdrawing hydraulic oil into the hydraulic cylinder, the piston is pushed to move.) This changes the height of the adjusting rod component 3, so that the tray component 1 reaches a suitable height position to match the flow meter.
[0032] During disassembly and installation, the flow meter is placed on the tray component 1. Since the tray component 1 provides stable support, the possibility of the flow meter tipping over is greatly reduced compared to directly holding the flow meter with the round flange. This protects the safety of the flow meter equipment and reduces maintenance costs and time delays caused by equipment damage.
[0033] Furthermore, the installation height of flow meters may vary at different industrial and commercial user sites. The height adjustment component 4 of this bracket can quickly adjust the height of the tray component 1 to match the installation height of the flow meter, adapting to the height of the installation and disassembly site. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and tedious adjustments and positioning, effectively shortening the preparation time for flow meter installation and disassembly.
[0034] Traditional flow meter disassembly and assembly requires multiple workers to work together to complete the handling and installation. However, using this bracket simplifies the operation process, reduces reliance on a large number of manpower, lowers the difficulty of coordination among personnel, and improves overall work efficiency.
[0035] Because the bracket provides stable support and convenient height adjustment, it reduces the amount of manpower required for handling and installation, thus lowering labor costs.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the height adjustment component 4 in this embodiment includes a first height telescopic member located between the adjustment rod assembly 3 and the base component 2. Preferably, the first height telescopic member includes a jack.
[0037] A jack is a tool that uses mechanical or hydraulic principles to lift objects. Its working principle is based on screw transmission. By turning the handle, the screw rotates, and the nut on the screw moves linearly along the screw, thereby driving the lifting part connected to the nut to rise or fall. When the handle is turned clockwise, the nut moves upward, pushing the adjusting rod assembly 3 and the tray assembly 1 to rise; when the handle is turned counterclockwise, the nut moves downward, and the tray assembly 1 is lowered accordingly.
[0038] In the flowmeter installation and removal bracket, a jack is installed between the adjusting rod assembly 3 and the base component 2. The base component 2 provides a stable support foundation for the jack. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the tray component 1, the operator operates the jack to raise or lower it. The lifting force of the jack is transmitted to the tray component 1 through the adjusting rod assembly 3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the tray component 1 to meet the flowmeter installation and removal needs at different height positions.
[0039] Jacks can achieve relatively precise height adjustment. In actual flow meter installation and removal work, different installation environments and flow meter specifications may have precise height requirements. Jacks can achieve millimeter-level height adjustment by rotating the operating handle or using hydraulic control as needed, ensuring that the tray component 1 can accurately reach the required height position, which facilitates precise installation and removal operations.
[0040] The jack can easily handle flow meters at different heights, whether they are large-diameter flow meters at higher positions or small-diameter flow meters at lower positions. Operators can flexibly adjust the lifting height of the jack according to the actual situation, so that the support can adapt to various complex site environments and flow meters of different specifications, thus improving the versatility and applicability of the support.
[0041] Flow meters typically have a certain weight, especially some large industrial flow meters. The jack has a high load-bearing capacity and can stably support the weight of the regulating rod assembly 3, the tray component 1, and the flow meter placed on the tray. This ensures the safety of the equipment during the entire assembly and disassembly process and avoids safety accidents such as damage to the support or the flow meter falling due to insufficient load-bearing capacity.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the base component 2 in this embodiment includes a chassis 21 and a bracket 22 disposed on the chassis 21. The bracket 22 is provided with a fixing sleeve 221 through which the adjusting rod assembly 3 passes.
[0043] The fixed sleeve 221 provides a precise positioning and guiding function for the adjusting rod assembly 3. When the height adjustment component 4 works to raise or lower the adjusting rod assembly 3, the fixed sleeve 221 restricts the lateral movement of the adjusting rod assembly 3, ensuring that the adjusting rod assembly 3 can only move in a straight line along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 221, thereby ensuring that the tray component 1 can rise or fall smoothly and vertically.
[0044] During the entire process of disassembling and assembling the flow meter bracket, the base component 2 works in conjunction with the adjusting rod assembly 3, the height adjustment assembly 4, and the tray component 1.
[0045] When the height of tray component 1 needs to be adjusted, the height adjustment component 4 generates a lifting force, pushing the adjustment rod assembly 3 to move upward or downward under the guidance of the fixing sleeve 221. Due to the positioning effect of the fixing sleeve 221 on the adjustment rod assembly 3, the entire adjustment process is stable and reliable, without shaking or deviation, ensuring the smooth disassembly and assembly of the flow meter.
[0046] The large-area design of the chassis 21 increases the friction and contact area with the ground, making the entire disassembly and assembly bracket more stable during operation. Even when adjusting the height of the tray component 1 or placing a heavy flow meter, it can effectively prevent the bracket from tilting or shaking, providing a safe and stable working platform for the disassembly and assembly of the flow meter.
[0047] The fixing sleeve 221 guides and positions the adjusting rod assembly 3, ensuring that the adjusting rod assembly 3 remains vertical during the rising or falling process. This prevents instability of the tray component 1 caused by the shaking or offset of the adjusting rod assembly 3, which helps to improve the accuracy and safety of the flow meter disassembly and assembly, and reduces equipment damage or personnel injury that may be caused by unstable operation.
[0048] The adjusting rod assembly 3 can be directly installed through the fixing sleeve 221, which simplifies the installation process of the bracket. Operators do not need to perform complicated positioning and calibration work; they only need to insert the adjusting rod assembly 3 into the fixing sleeve 221 to complete the installation, saving installation time and labor costs.
[0049] Preferably, the bracket 22 is composed of four angle irons forming a triangular body, which are spaced apart around the circumference of the fixing sleeve 221 to further improve the structural strength of the flow meter mounting and disassembly bracket.
[0050] When tools are placed haphazardly, they may end up in the passageway where staff move the flow meter, potentially causing staff to trip or collide, posing a safety hazard. Preferably, with the above design, staff can neatly place the tools on the chassis 21 in a designated location, avoiding interference with staff movement routes. The tools will not obstruct staff from moving the flow meter back and forth, reducing the occurrence of accidents and ensuring personal safety during the work process.
[0051] Furthermore, the tools are neatly arranged in designated positions on the chassis 21, allowing staff to quickly find the tools they need without spending time searching in a cluttered environment, thus greatly improving work efficiency.
[0052] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjusting rod assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a top rod 31 and a bottom rod 32 that are movably connected to each other, and the height adjustment assembly 4 includes a second height telescopic member disposed between the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32.
[0053] Preferably, the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32 are movably connected, and the second height telescopic component in the height adjustment assembly 4 is disposed between the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32. When the second height telescopic component is activated, it generates a corresponding telescopic force. If the second height telescopic component extends, it will push the top rod 31 to move upward relative to the bottom rod 32, thereby increasing the overall length of the adjusting rod assembly 3 and driving the tray component 1 connected to the top rod 31 to rise. Conversely, if the second height telescopic component retracts, it will pull the top rod 31 to move downward relative to the bottom rod 32, reducing the overall length of the adjusting rod assembly 3 and causing the tray component 1 to descend. By controlling the telescopic action of the second height telescopic component, the height of the tray component 1 can be precisely adjusted to adapt to the disassembly and assembly of flow meters with different height requirements.
[0054] The movable connection between the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32, in conjunction with the second height telescopic component, enables a wide range of length changes in the adjusting rod assembly 3. This means that the disassembly bracket can accommodate flow meters of different heights. Whether it is a small, medium, or large flow meter, it can be easily disassembled and assembled by adjusting the height, greatly improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment.
[0055] The second height telescopic component typically allows for precise telescopic control, enabling small-scale height adjustments. In actual flowmeter installation and removal processes, fine-tuning of the height is sometimes necessary to ensure the flowmeter is accurately installed in the correct position. This fine-tuning function improves installation accuracy and ensures the normal operation of the flowmeter.
[0056] The second height telescopic component is placed between the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32, making the structure of the entire adjusting rod assembly 3 more compact.
[0057] The movable top rod 31 and bottom rod 32 move relative to each other under the action of the second height telescopic member. Due to the connection between them and the supporting effect of the second height telescopic member, the adjustment process is more stable. When adjusting the height, it can effectively reduce shaking and offset, ensuring the safety and stability of the flow meter on the tray component 1 during the adjustment process.
[0058] Preferably, the top rod 31, the bottom rod 32, and the second height telescopic component are relatively independent yet mutually compatible. If any component malfunctions or is damaged, it can be easily disassembled and maintained individually. For example, if the second height telescopic component malfunctions, it can be easily removed from between the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32 for repair or replacement without requiring a large-scale disassembly and replacement of the entire adjusting rod assembly 3, thus reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0059] With the development of technology and changes in actual needs, if it is necessary to upgrade or improve the adjustment performance of the adjustment rod assembly 3, the top rod 31, the bottom rod 32 or the second height telescopic component can be easily replaced or improved, thereby improving the scalability and adaptability of the equipment.
[0060] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the second height telescopic component in this embodiment includes a nut fixed in the bottom rod 32, which is threadedly connected to the top rod 31 to form a trapezoidal lead screw structure.
[0061] Specifically, the trapezoidal lead screw structure is mainly based on the principle of threaded transmission. In this embodiment, the nut fixed in the bottom rod 32 is threadedly connected to the top rod 31. When a rotational force is applied to the top rod 31, since the nut is fixed in the bottom rod 32 and cannot rotate, according to the characteristics of threaded transmission, the rotational motion of the top rod 31 will be converted into linear motion along its axis.
[0062] When the push rod 31 rotates in a specific direction (e.g., clockwise), due to the action of the thread, the push rod 31 will move upward along the thread of the nut. Since the push rod 31 is connected to the tray component 1, the upward movement of the push rod 31 will drive the tray component 1 to rise, thereby achieving the purpose of height adjustment.
[0063] When the push rod 31 rotates in the opposite direction of rotation (e.g., counterclockwise), the push rod 31 moves downward along the thread of the nut, thereby lowering the tray component 1 and completing the height reduction operation.
[0064] Specifically, the trapezoidal lead screw structure has high transmission accuracy. The thread pitch is fixed, and the push rod 31 moves a certain distance with each rotation of a certain angle. This allows for precise height adjustment when adjusting the height of the tray component 1 by accurately controlling the rotation angle of the push rod 31, meeting the height accuracy requirements of different flow meters during installation and disassembly.
[0065] Due to the characteristics of threaded drives, even a tiny rotational movement can cause the push rod 31 to produce a corresponding tiny displacement. In actual operation, for some flow meter installation and disassembly work with very strict height requirements, this fine-tuning function can ensure that the flow meter is accurately installed in the right position, improving the quality and accuracy of the installation.
[0066] Furthermore, the trapezoidal thread has a trapezoidal tooth profile, which has a larger tooth angle and tooth root width compared to ordinary threads. This structure allows the trapezoidal screw to provide greater load-bearing capacity when bearing axial loads. During the disassembly and assembly of the flow meter, the tray component 1 needs to place the flow meter and other equipment, which will generate a certain weight and pressure. The trapezoidal screw structure can ensure that the adjusting rod assembly 3 can stably support these weights, ensuring the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
[0067] Furthermore, the trapezoidal screw structure has a larger contact area between the threads and relatively greater friction during transmission. This allows the push rod 31 to move more stably when adjusting the height, reducing the likelihood of wobbling or deviation. Even under heavy loads, it maintains good stability, providing reliable support for the assembly and disassembly of the flow meter.
[0068] Furthermore, the trapezoidal screw structure has excellent self-locking performance. When the push rod 31 stops rotating, due to the friction between the threads, the push rod 31 will not move on its own due to external forces. This characteristic is very important during the disassembly and assembly of the flow meter. For example, when the tray component 1 is adjusted to a suitable height, even if it is subjected to some slight vibration or external force interference, the push rod 31 can remain in the current position without any height change, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the operation.
[0069] Furthermore, the trapezoidal lead screw structure is mainly composed of a nut and a push rod 31. The structure is relatively simple. Compared with some complex height adjustment mechanisms, this simple structure reduces the number of parts and lowers the failure rate of the equipment. When maintenance is required on the adjustment rod assembly 3, the simple structure makes disassembly and installation convenient.
[0070] Preferably, in other embodiments, the second height telescopic member has a first thread on the outside of the top rod 31 and a second thread on the inside of the bottom rod 32, and the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32 are threaded together by the cooperation of the first thread and the second thread.
[0071] This design is also based on the principle of threaded transmission. The first thread on the outer side of the push rod 31 and the second thread on the inner side of the bottom rod 32 cooperate with each other. When a rotational force is applied to the push rod 31, due to the helical side effect between the first thread and the second thread, the push rod 31 will rotate while moving in a straight line along the axial direction of the bottom rod 32.
[0072] When the push rod 31 rotates in a specific direction (e.g., clockwise), the first thread rolls forward on the second thread, and the push rod 31 gradually extends out of the bottom rod 32, thereby raising the height of the tray component 1 connected to the push rod 31.
[0073] When the push rod 31 rotates in the opposite direction (e.g., counterclockwise), the first thread rolls in the opposite direction along the second thread, and the push rod 31 gradually retracts into the bottom rod 32, thereby reducing the height of the tray component 1.
[0074] The thread pitch is fixed. The distance that the push rod 31 moves axially by one thread pitch for each rotation. By precisely controlling the number of rotations and the angle of the push rod 31, the height change of the tray component 1 can be precisely controlled. This precise height adjustment function can ensure that the flow meter is accurately installed in the right position, improving the installation quality and the operational stability of the equipment.
[0075] Due to the continuity of the threaded drive, even a tiny rotational movement can cause the push rod 31 to produce a corresponding tiny displacement. This makes it very convenient to make fine adjustments to the height, which can meet the needs of some installation scenarios with extremely high height accuracy requirements and avoid installation problems or equipment failures caused by height errors.
[0076] The first thread on the outer side of the top rod 31 and the second thread on the inner side of the bottom rod 32 have a large contact area. When bearing the weight of equipment such as flow meters, these contact parts can evenly distribute the pressure, allowing the adjusting rod assembly 3 to withstand a large axial load. This ensures that the adjusting rod assembly 3 can stably support flow meters of different specifications and weights, ensuring the safety and reliability of the entire equipment during operation.
[0077] The threaded connection itself has a certain degree of self-locking and stability. After the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32 are connected by threaded engagement, the connection between them is relatively tight and it is not easy for them to shake or loosen. Even when the equipment is subjected to certain vibrations or external interference, it can maintain good stability and provide reliable support for the disassembly and assembly of the flow meter.
[0078] Preferably, the threads are respectively set on the outer side of the top rod 31 and the inner side of the bottom rod 32, making the structure of the adjusting rod assembly 3 more compact.
[0079] The thread standard has a certain degree of universality, and the thread specifications of the top rod 31 and bottom rod 32 can be selected and designed according to needs. This allows the adjusting rod assembly 3 to be easily adapted to pallet parts 1 or other equipment of different specifications and types, improving the equipment's versatility and scalability.
[0080] The process of machining the first thread on the outside of the top rod 31 and the second thread on the inside of the bottom rod 32 is relatively simple and does not require complex manufacturing equipment and processes. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the adjusting rod assembly 3 and improves production efficiency.
[0081] If the first or second thread is worn or damaged during use, it is relatively easy to replace the top rod 31 or bottom rod 32 due to its relatively simple structure. Moreover, the disassembly and installation of the threaded connection are relatively easy, and maintenance personnel can quickly carry out repair and replacement operations, reducing equipment downtime and maintenance costs.
[0082] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a fixing component 5 is provided on one side of the bottom rod 32 to fix the top rod 31. The fixing component 5 includes a fixing housing 51 provided on one side of the bottom rod 32 and a pin 52 movably connected to the fixing housing 51. The fixing end of the pin 52 can pass through the bottom rod 32 and be inserted into the threads of the top rod 31 to fix the top rod 31 so that it cannot rotate.
[0083] When the fixing component 5 is not used, the top rod 31 can rotate freely relative to the bottom rod 32. There may be some kind of connection structure (such as a sleeve) between the top rod 31 and the bottom rod 32, which allows the top rod 31 to rotate to achieve specific functions, such as adjusting the height or changing the angle.
[0084] When it is necessary to fix the push rod 31, the operator operates the pin 52 to move it under the constraint of the fixed housing 51. Since the pin 52 is movably connected to the fixed housing 51, the pin 52 can move along a predetermined trajectory. The fixed end of the pin 52 passes through the bottom rod 32 and inserts into the threads of the push rod 31. Because the threads have a specific shape and spacing, after the pin 52 is inserted into the threads, it restricts the rotation of the push rod 31. This is because the pin 52 is stuck in the threads, preventing the continuous rotation of the push rod 31 threads, thereby fixing the push rod 31 in the current position.
[0085] When it is necessary to enable the push rod 31 to rotate again, the operator reverses the operation of the pin 52 to pull it out of the thread of the push rod 31, at which point the push rod 31 can rotate freely again.
[0086] The fixing component 5 mainly consists of a fixing housing 51 and a pin 52. Its structure is relatively simple and its manufacturing process is not complicated, which helps to reduce production costs. At the same time, the simple structure also reduces the probability of failure and improves the reliability of the equipment.
[0087] The pin 52 is inserted between the threads of the push rod 31, and the shape and structure of the thread are used to achieve fixation. The thread itself has a certain self-locking property. The pin 52 is stuck in the thread, which can effectively prevent the push rod 31 from rotating, providing a stable and reliable fixing effect, ensuring that the push rod 31 will not rotate due to external force during operation, and ensuring the normal operation and working accuracy of the equipment.
[0088] Operators only need to perform simple insertion and removal operations on the pin 52 to fix and release the top rod 31 without complicated tools and operating procedures, which improves work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of operators.
[0089] Since the pin 52 can be inserted between threads at different positions, the push rod 31 can be fixed at different rotation angles or positions according to actual needs, which has good adjustability and can meet different working requirements.
[0090] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the fixing component 5 in this embodiment also includes a reset member, which enables the fixing end of the pin 52 to remain inserted into the thread of the push rod 31.
[0091] Specifically, the reset element is usually an elastic component, such as a spring. In the initial state, the reset element applies a force to the pin 52, causing its fixed end to tend to be inserted into the thread of the push rod 31. When the operator needs to release the push rod 31, the force of the reset element needs to be overcome to pull the pin 52 out of the thread of the push rod 31. During this process, the reset element undergoes elastic deformation and stores elastic potential energy.
[0092] When the operator releases the pin 52, the elastic potential energy stored in the reset component is released and converted into the force to reset the pin 52. The reset component will push the pin 52 to move in the direction of inserting into the thread of the push rod 31 until the fixed end of the pin 52 is inserted into the thread of the push rod 31 again, restoring the state of fixing the push rod 31.
[0093] The presence of the reset component ensures that the pin 52 remains inserted between the threads of the push rod 31. During equipment operation, it may be subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact. Without the reset component, the pin 52 may loosen due to these external forces, causing the push rod 31 to be unstable. The continuous force applied by the reset component can effectively prevent the pin 52 from loosening, ensuring that the push rod 31 is always in a fixed state, thus improving the stability and safety of the equipment.
[0094] When it is necessary to fix the push rod 31, the operator only needs to insert the pin 52 into the thread of the push rod 31. The reset component will automatically keep the pin 52 in the inserted state without any additional operation to maintain the fixation. When the fixation is released, the operator can pull out the pin 52 by overcoming the force of the reset component. When fixing it again, the pin 52 will automatically reset when it is released, which simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency.
[0095] Since the reset component can ensure that the pin 52 can be accurately and stably inserted into and withdrawn from the thread of the push rod 31, it reduces unnecessary friction and collision between the pin 52 and the thread. This stable operation mode can reduce the wear of the pin 52 and the thread of the push rod 31, thereby extending the service life of the fixing component 5 and the push rod 31 and reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment.
[0096] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the reset component in this embodiment includes an elastic spring 53 and an assembly pin 54. The assembly pin 54 is disposed on the pin body of the pin 52. The elastic spring 53 is sleeved on the outside of the pin body of the pin 52, and one end of the elastic spring 53 abuts against the assembly pin 54, while the other end of the elastic spring 53 abuts against the side of the fixed housing 51 away from the fixed end of the pin 52.
[0097] In the initial state, the elastic spring 53 is under a certain compression. Since one end of the elastic spring 53 abuts against the mounting pin 54 and the other end abuts against the side of the fixed housing 51 away from the fixed end of the pin 52, the spring will generate a spring force in the direction of the fixed end of the pin 52. This spring force is transmitted to the pin 52 through the mounting pin 54, so that the fixed end of the pin 52 is tightly inserted into the threads of the push rod 31, thereby fixing the push rod 31.
[0098] When it is necessary to release the top rod 31, the operator needs to apply an external force to overcome the elastic force of the elastic spring 53 and pull the pin 52 away from the top rod 31. During the process of pulling the pin 52, the mounting pin 54 moves with the pin 52, further compressing the elastic spring 53 and allowing the spring to store more elastic potential energy.
[0099] When the operator releases the pin 52, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic spring 53 begins to be released. The spring will restore its deformation and generate a reverse elastic force, which pushes the mounting pin 54 and drives the pin 52 to move towards the push rod 31. Finally, the fixed end of the pin 52 is inserted into the threads of the push rod 31 again, restoring the fixation of the push rod 31.
[0100] The combination structure of the elastic spring 53 and the mounting pin 54 is relatively simple and occupies little space. This design can realize the reset function of the pin 52 in a limited space, and is suitable for various equipment with high space requirements. It is conducive to the miniaturization and integration design of the equipment.
[0101] The elastic spring 53 has good elastic properties and can provide stable elastic force. As long as the material and size of the spring are selected appropriately, it can maintain a stable elastic force output during long-term use, ensuring that the pin 52 can always be reliably inserted between the threads of the push rod 31, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the fixation.
[0102] The elastic spring 53 is sleeved on the outside of the pin body of the pin 52, and the mounting pin 54 is also easy to install on the pin 52. This simple assembly method makes the installation process of the fixing component 5 easy, reducing the installation difficulty and cost. At the same time, if the elastic spring 53 is damaged or needs to be replaced, it can be simply removed from the pin 52, making maintenance convenient and quick.
[0103] During equipment operation, it may be subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact. The elastic spring 53 can play a certain role in buffering and shock absorption, absorbing and dispersing these external forces, and reducing the impact force between the pin 52 and the push rod 31. This not only protects the pin 52 and the push rod 31 from damage, but also further improves the stability of the fixation and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0104] The elastic spring 53 and the assembly pin 54 are common mechanical parts with relatively low cost. This design can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment and improve the market competitiveness of the product while ensuring the performance of the fixed component 5.
[0105] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the tray component 1 in this embodiment includes a tray adjustment assembly and two flow meter trays 11. The tray adjustment assembly includes a flow meter fixing rod 12 and tray adjustment rods 13 disposed at both ends of the flow meter fixing rod 12. Each of the tray adjustment rods 13 is connected to the corresponding flow meter tray 11, and each of the tray adjustment rods 13 is movably connected to the tray adjustment rod 13 to adjust the distance between the two flow meter trays 11.
[0106] When it is necessary to place or install flow meters of different specifications and sizes, since the width and other dimensions of different flow meters are different, it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two flow meter trays 11 in order to ensure that the flow meters can be placed stably on the flow meter tray 11.
[0107] Because the tray adjusting rod 13 is movably connected to the flow meter fixing rod 12 (this movable connection may be achieved through various methods such as sliding grooves, threaded connections, and hinges that allow relative movement), the operator can operate the tray adjusting rod 13 to move it relative to the flow meter fixing rod 12. When the two tray adjusting rods 13 move towards each other, the distance between the two flow meter trays 11 connected to them decreases; conversely, when the two tray adjusting rods 13 move away from each other, the distance between the two flow meter trays 11 increases. Through this operation, the distance between the two flow meter trays 11 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual size of the flow meter to adapt to different usage requirements.
[0108] Flow meters from different manufacturers or different models may have different external dimensions. By adjusting the distance between the two flow meter trays 11, the tray component 1 can be adapted to various sizes of flow meters, greatly improving the versatility and applicability of the tray component 1, reducing the need to replace the entire tray component due to different flow meter sizes, and lowering the cost of use.
[0109] Thanks to the design of the tray adjustment assembly, operators can adjust the distance between the two flow meter trays 11 at any time according to the actual situation. The operation process is relatively simple and does not require complicated tools or procedures. This enables the quick installation and fixing of different flow meters in actual work, improving work efficiency.
[0110] Proper tray spacing allows the flow meter to be placed more stably on the tray, reducing issues such as swaying and displacement caused by improper tray spacing. This helps protect the flow meter from impacts and damage during placement and use, extending its service life.
[0111] When maintaining or repairing flow meters, it may be necessary to remove the flow meter from the tray or adjust its position. The adjustable tray spacing makes these operations more convenient. Operators can flexibly adjust the tray spacing as needed, providing convenient conditions for maintenance and repair work.
[0112] In some space-constrained work environments, flow meters of different sizes need to be placed appropriately. By adjusting the tray spacing, the layout of the flow meters can be optimized according to the actual space conditions and the size of the flow meters, making more rational use of space and improving space utilization.
[0113] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, each flowmeter tray 11 in this embodiment is provided with a positioning component between it and the flowmeter fixing rod 12. The positioning component includes a plurality of spaced first positioning holes 131 on the tray adjusting rod 13, a plurality of spaced second positioning holes 121 on the flowmeter fixing rod 12, and a plurality of positioning elements.
[0114] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two flow meter trays 11, first pull the positioning member out of the corresponding first positioning hole 131 and second positioning hole 121. Since the positioning member no longer restricts the relative position of the tray adjusting rod 13 and the flow meter fixing rod 12, the tray adjusting rod 13 can be pushed to move on the flow meter fixing rod 12 according to actual needs, thereby changing the distance between the two flow meter trays 11.
[0115] After adjusting the distance between the two flowmeter trays 11 to the appropriate position, the relative position of the tray adjusting rod 13 and the flowmeter fixing rod 12 needs to be fixed. At this time, locate the first positioning hole 131 on the tray adjusting rod 13 and the second positioning hole 121 on the flowmeter fixing rod 12 that are aligned with it. Insert the positioning element into the aligned first positioning hole 131 and second positioning hole 121. Through the cooperation between the positioning element and the positioning hole, the movement of the tray adjusting rod 13 relative to the flowmeter fixing rod 12 is restricted, thereby realizing the positioning of the flowmeter tray 11.
[0116] The multiple spaced first positioning holes 131 and second positioning holes 121 provide a series of positioning position options. Operators can precisely adjust the distance between the two flow meter trays 11 according to the specific size requirements of different flow meters, and fix them in the required precise position by positioning components, ensuring that the flow meters can be accurately placed on the trays and improving the installation accuracy.
[0117] The positioning component securely connects the tray adjusting rod 13 and the flow meter fixing rod 12 by inserting the positioning piece into the positioning hole. This ensures that even if subjected to certain external forces (such as vibration or collision) during use, the flow meter tray 11 will not easily shift, thus guaranteeing the stability of the flow meter placement and facilitating the normal operation of the flow meter.
[0118] The positioning components are relatively simple to operate; simply pulling out and inserting the positioning piece completes the distance adjustment and positioning process. No complex tools or specialized skills are required, allowing operators to quickly master the operation and improving work efficiency.
[0119] Because the positioning holes are spaced out and in fixed positions, they can be fixed using the same positioning holes and positioning parts each time they are adjusted to the same position. This allows for quick and accurate adjustment of the tray spacing to the previous appropriate position when multiple flow meters of the same specifications need to be installed, ensuring the consistency and repeatability of the installation.
[0120] The multiple positioning holes provide a variety of positioning options, enabling the tray component to adapt to a wider range of flow meters with different sizes. The positioning position can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions, further improving the versatility and applicability of the tray component.
[0121] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the flow meter mounting bracket in this embodiment also includes a movable component 6 connected to the base component 2, and the movable component 6 includes casters provided on the base component.
[0122] When the flow meter mounting bracket needs to be moved, the operator applies a certain external force to the bracket, and the casters will roll on the ground. The casters are designed to rotate flexibly around their axis and change the direction of rolling, thereby enabling the bracket to move in different directions. This allows the operator to push or pull the entire flow meter mounting bracket and move it to the required working position.
[0123] The use of casters allows the flow meter mounting bracket to be easily moved between different work locations. In industrial production or testing scenarios, it may be necessary to disassemble and test the flow meter on different production lines. With casters, the bracket can be easily moved to the corresponding position without the need for complicated handling equipment or a lot of manpower, thus improving the flexibility and efficiency of the work.
[0124] Compared to moving or dragging the entire support frame, using casters to move the support frame requires much less force. This reduces the physical exertion of operators during the movement of the support frame and lowers labor intensity. The advantages of casters are even more obvious for the disassembly and assembly of heavier flow meter support frames.
[0125] At the work site, it may be necessary to fine-tune the position of the flow meter mounting bracket to ensure accurate docking with the flow meter or other equipment. The casters can flexibly change the rolling direction, allowing operators to easily move the bracket to the precise position, thus improving the accuracy of installation and operation.
[0126] Casters can adapt to various ground conditions, such as flat workshop floors and rough factory floors. No matter the environment, as long as the ground can support the weight of the support, the casters can ensure the normal movement of the support, thus enhancing its applicability.
[0127] Because casters make the support easier to move, operators can quickly move the support to the working position, reducing the time for equipment installation and debugging, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire workflow and helping to speed up production or testing.
[0128] Preferably, the movable component 6 also includes a traction rod connected to the base component 2, which allows the operator to pull the flow meter to install or remove the bracket, thus having the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.
