[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the installation component includes a threaded sleeve 203, which is threadedly connected to the installation head 101. One side surface of the threaded sleeve 203 is rotatably connected to one end of the installation tube 2. A lever 204 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the threaded sleeve 203. The installation tube 2 can be conveniently fixedly installed on both sides of the installation box 1 through the threaded sleeve 203 and the lever 204.
[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the pushing component includes a slide 105, a movable ring 104 is slidably connected inside the slide 105, a push cylinder 102 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the movable ring 104 through a support plate, a push rod 103 is fixedly connected to one end of the push cylinder 102, and one end of the push rod 103 is aligned with the center of the sealing ball 206. By pushing the push rod 103 and the push cylinder 102 in the pushing component, the sealing ball 206 on one side surface of the 205 can be pushed open when installing the pipe 2, thereby opening the installation pipe 2 and allowing the industrial gas or liquid to flow through the inside of the installation box 1.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a groove is provided on one side surface of the partition ring 205, and a sealing ring 207 is provided inside the groove. The inner surface of the sealing ring 207 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the sealing ball 206. Through the sealing ring 207 and the groove on one side surface of the partition ring 205, the sealing performance of the installation pipe 2 can be improved, thus avoiding leakage when replacing and maintaining the flow sensor.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the sensor assembly includes a sensor 3, with a mounting cap 301 fixedly connected to the lower end of the sensor 3. The mounting cap 301 is threadedly connected to the mounting post 302. A sensor monitoring core 303 is installed inside the sensor 3, and a display screen is fixedly installed on the upper end of the sensor 3. The flow rate of gas or liquid in the pipeline can be monitored through the sensor monitoring core 303.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the pipe connection assembly includes a fixed plate 201, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the installation pipe 2. Multiple sets of pipe clamps 209 are fixedly connected to one side surface of the fixed plate 201. Anti-slip teeth 2010 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the pipe clamps 209. A sleeve 202 is threadedly installed on the outer surface of the anti-slip teeth 2010. There are various types of sleeves 202 that are compatible with the anti-slip teeth 2010.

[0026] In use, this utility model is first aligned with the threaded sleeve 203 and the mounting head 101. Then, the operator uses the lever 204 to connect the mounting pipe 2 and the mounting box 1. Next, the operator places the corresponding sleeve 202 onto the pipe according to its diameter, and simultaneously inserts the pipe into the pipe clamp 209. Rotating the sleeve 202 causes it to be threaded onto the outer surface of the pipe clamp 209, with one end of the sleeve 202 pressing against one end of the pipe clamp 209. The pipe clamp 209 then uses the anti-slip teeth 2010 to hold and fix the pipe inside. After installing the lever 204 on the side surface of the mounting head 101... The pusher 102 and pusher 103 inside the through hole 106 will push the sealing ball 206 open. At this time, the installation box 1 will be connected to the pipeline through the installation tube 2. When the pipeline transports liquid or gas, the flow rate can be monitored by the sensor monitoring core 303 inside the sensor 3. When the installation box 1 and sensor 3 are replaced, the operator only needs to rotate the threaded sleeve 203 in the reverse direction and then remove the installation box 1 for replacement. During the process of removing the installation box 1, the spring 208 inside the installation tube 2 will push the sealing ball 206 close to the baffle ring 205. The sealing ball 206 will seal the installation tube 2 to prevent leakage of the medium in the pipeline.
