Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipe inner diameter measuring instruments, specifically a pipe inner diameter measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] The Beiying Quality Inspection and Metrology Center is currently equipped with 314 gas metering instruments, covering various types such as orifice plate flow meters, turbine flow meters, and vortex flow meters, forming a gas energy metering network within the plant area. This network directly serves the daily cost accounting system of each branch plant. The system supports energy consumption assessment through real-time metering data, ensuring precise control of production and operating costs.
[0003] However, due to the large number of impurities in various gases, the formation of deposits reduces the inner diameter of the pipe. If the parameters of the measuring instrument are not modified, the accuracy and stability of the equipment measurement cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, we propose a pipe inner diameter measuring instrument to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A plug is threadedly connected to the top of the internal threaded ball valve, and a laser rangefinder is movably contacted at the top of the plug. A base is threadedly connected to the bottom of the internal threaded ball valve. Two support blocks are fixedly connected to the plug. A lead screw is rotatably connected to each support block. The end of the lead screw extends to the outside of the corresponding support block and is welded with a knob. A moving rod is threadedly connected to the lead screw. A U-shaped locking block is welded to the end of the moving rod, and the U-shaped locking block is movably in contact with the laser rangefinder. Two positioning rods are welded to one side of each support block. A guide rod is slidably connected to each positioning rod, and the end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding U-shaped locking block.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the internal thread ball valve is provided with a first internal thread, and the plug is provided with a first external thread, and the first internal thread and the first external thread are threadedly connected.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the internal thread ball valve is provided with a second internal thread, and the top of the base is provided with a second external thread, the second external thread being threadedly connected to the second internal thread.
[0011] Furthermore, a plug is provided on the inner top wall of the plug, and the plug is fitted into the laser rangefinder through the plug.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a pipe inner diameter measuring instrument, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention involves creating a hole vertically at the top of a gas medium pipeline, welding a prefabricated base to the hole, and then screwing an internal thread ball valve onto the base. A laser rangefinder is then inserted into a plug via a connector hole. Rotating a knob moves a corresponding moving rod via a lead screw, which in turn moves a corresponding U-shaped locking block. The U-shaped locking block then slides a guide rod on a positioning rod, further securing the laser rangefinder and preventing it from loosening or falling off. Finally, the plug is screwed onto the internal thread ball valve. During production, the internal thread ball valve is closed. When there is no gas medium in the pipeline during production line maintenance, the internal thread ball valve is opened, and the laser rangefinder is used to measure the pipeline's inner diameter. This ensures accurate setting of the gas metering instrument's pipeline inner diameter parameters, guarantees the accuracy and stability of equipment measurement data, and effectively avoids inter-plant measurement disputes.

A plug 2 is threadedly connected to the top of the internal thread ball valve 1, and a laser rangefinder 3 is movably contacted at the top of the plug 2. A base 4 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the internal thread ball valve 1. Two support blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the plug 2, and a screw 6 is rotatably connected to each support block 5. The end of the screw 6 extends to the outside of the corresponding support block 5 and is welded with a knob 7. A moving rod 8 is threadedly connected to the screw 6, and a U-shaped locking block 9 is welded to the end of the moving rod 8. The U-shaped locking block 9 is in movable contact with the laser rangefinder 3. Two positioning rods 10 are welded to one side of each support block 5, and a guide rod 11 is slidably connected to each positioning rod 10. The end of the guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding U-shaped locking block 9. A hole is made vertically at the upper end of the predicted gas medium pipe, and the completed base 4 is welded to it. Connect the internal thread ball valve 1 to the pipe opening and tighten it onto the base 4. Insert the laser rangefinder 3 into the plug 2 via the insertion hole 16. Then, rotate the knob 7. The knob 7 drives the corresponding moving rod 8 via the lead screw 6. The moving rod 8 drives the corresponding U-shaped locking block 9. The U-shaped locking block 9 drives the corresponding guide rod 11 to slide on the positioning rod 10. The two U-shaped locking blocks 9 further secure the laser rangefinder 3 to prevent loosening and detachment. Then, tighten the plug 2 onto the internal thread ball valve 1. During production, the internal thread ball valve 1 is in the closed state. When there is no gas medium in the pipeline during production line maintenance, open the internal thread ball valve 1 and use the laser rangefinder 3 to measure the inner diameter of the pipeline. This ensures the accurate setting of the pipeline inner diameter parameters of the gas metering instrument, guarantees the accuracy and stability of the equipment's metering data, and effectively avoids metering disputes between plants.
[0027] In some embodiments, the top of the internal thread ball valve 1 is provided with a first internal thread 12, and the plug 2 is provided with a first external thread 13, and the first internal thread 12 and the first external thread 13 are threadedly connected.
[0028] In some embodiments, the bottom of the internal thread ball valve 1 is provided with a second internal thread 14, and the top of the base 4 is provided with a second external thread 15. The second external thread 15 is threadedly connected to the second internal thread 14, and the installation of the base 4 is facilitated by the threaded connection.
[0029] In some embodiments, a plug hole 16 is provided on the top inner wall of the plug 2, and the plug 2 is fitted with the laser rangefinder 3 through the plug hole 16.
[0030] In some embodiments, the movable rod 8 is provided with a threaded hole, and the movable rod 8 is threadedly connected to the corresponding lead screw 6 through the threaded hole. Under the biting force of the threaded hole and the lead screw 6, the movable rod 8 can be fixed after moving to a suitable position.
[0031] In some embodiments, the support block 5 has a mounting hole, and a bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole. The inner side of the inner ring of the bearing is welded to the outer side of the corresponding lead screw 6. By welding, the bearing and the lead screw 6 are more securely fixed.
[0032] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: During use, a hole is made vertically at the upper end of the gas medium pipeline for prediction. The completed base 4 is welded to the pipeline opening. The internal thread ball valve 1 is tightened and installed on the base 4. The laser rangefinder 3 is inserted into the plug 2 through the insertion hole 16. Then, the knob 7 is turned. The knob 7 drives the corresponding moving rod 8 via the lead screw 6. The moving rod 8 drives the corresponding U-shaped locking block 9 to move. The U-shaped locking block 9 drives the corresponding guide rod 11 to slide on the positioning rod 10. The laser rangefinder 3 is further fixed by the two U-shaped locking blocks 9 to prevent loosening and falling off. The plug 2 is then tightened and installed on the internal thread ball valve 1. During production, the internal thread ball valve 1 is in the closed state. When there is no gas medium in the pipeline during production line maintenance, the internal thread ball valve 1 is opened, and the laser rangefinder 3 is used to measure the pipeline inner diameter. This ensures the accurate setting of the gas metering instrument's pipeline inner diameter parameter, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the equipment's measurement data and effectively avoiding inter-plant measurement disputes.
