[0002] An external clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is an instrument that uses an ultrasonic probe to measure flow velocity and flow rate. It is mainly used for flow measurement of fluids in industrial pipelines and is widely applied in industries such as environmental protection, petrochemicals, metallurgy, papermaking, food, and pharmaceuticals. The external clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter mainly consists of a main unit and a probe. The probe is mounted on the outer wall of the pipe using a clamp to complete the flow measurement.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as the technical solution described in patent CN222258383U, each use of existing fixtures requires positioning, assembly, testing, and disassembly on the pipeline. With the increasing number of pipelines in industrial sites and the annual increase in the number of flow rate testing points, coupled with the need for regular inspections, the workload of testing personnel has increased, resulting in long processing times and low efficiency.

[0004] Existing technologies require positioning and installation on the pipeline before each use, followed by complete disassembly after measurement. This cumbersome installation process leads to low detection efficiency. Furthermore, for scenarios with numerous flow monitoring points requiring regular inspections, the disassembly and assembly operations are repetitive and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Specifically, the first mounting hole 114 is a threaded hole, which is fixedly connected to the pipe 500 through the threaded hole; the interior of the second mounting hole 115 is inclined downward, through which the hose clamp 400 passes, so that the base plate 300 can be connected to the pipe 500 with a larger diameter.

[0056] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, positioning is made on the pipe 500, and the base plate 300 is installed on the pipe 500 using the hose clamp 400; then, the protrusion 117 on the mounting box 100 is pushed to the limiting end of the sliding groove 112 on the base plate 300, and the mounting box 100 and the base plate 300 are assembled together using the first fixing buckle 800; finally, the probe body 200 is placed into the second mounting groove 121 of the base plate 300, the clamping cover 600 is closed, and the second fixing buckle 111 is used to lock it, thus completing the installation.

[0057] In this utility model, the quick-install clamp combines the mounting box 100 with the base plate 300, which allows the clamp to be well adapted to pipes 500 of different specifications. By using different mounting holes, it can meet the installation requirements of ultrasonic flow meter probes in various pipe 500 environments.

[0058] The quick-release fixture, consisting of the mounting box 100 and the base plate 300, can enclose the probe body 200 inside, providing a certain degree of physical protection for the probe body 200. This can prevent the probe from being damaged by external impacts, scratches, etc., and help extend the service life of the probe.
