Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insertion flow meter installation technology, and specifically discloses an insertion flow meter installation device that is easy to adjust in multiple directions. Background Technology

[0002] An insertion flow meter installation device is a complete set of hardware components specifically designed to install the sensor (probe) of an insertion flow meter into an operating pipeline system without interrupting production or fluid transport. Its core purpose is to solve the problem of installing flow meters on pipelines already in use, avoiding the cumbersome and costly operations of traditional methods such as stopping pumps, purging, and cutting and welding pipes. The insertion flow meter probe must be strictly aligned with the center of the pipeline and parallel to the flow direction.

[0003] The existing insertion flow meter installation involves drilling a hole in the pipeline and welding a short pipe or flange. The insertion flow meter is then inserted through the short pipe or flange into the pipeline. However, since the short pipe or flange is fixed, if the welding precision of the short pipe or flange is insufficient, causing the inserted flow meter to fail to be parallel to the flow direction after installation, it is impossible to make multi-directional adjustments to the insertion flow meter. This necessitates re-welding the short pipe or flange, increasing construction time and making it inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes an installation device for an insertion flow meter that facilitates multi-directional adjustment. It enables multi-directional adjustment of the insertion flow meter without the need to re-weld the short pipe or flange, thus shortening construction time and making it easy to use.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an insertion flow meter installation device that facilitates multi-directional adjustment includes a pipe and an insertion flow meter body. The outer wall of the pipe is welded with an installation pipe that communicates with it. The upper end of the inner wall of the installation pipe is set with a straight structure, and the lower end of the inner wall of the installation pipe is set with an arc-shaped structure. The interior of the installation pipe is provided with a movable sphere that matches the arc-shaped structure. The outer wall of the movable sphere is provided with a through hole. The outer wall of the movable sphere is fixedly connected with a short pipe that communicates with the through hole. The insertion flow meter body passes through the short pipe and the through hole and extends into the interior of the pipe.

[0006] A fixing mechanism is provided at the upper end of the outer wall of the installation tube.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which facilitates multi-directional adjustment of an insertion flow meter installation device, the fixing mechanism includes a threaded cylinder threaded to the upper end of the outer wall of the installation pipe, and an abutment ring fixedly connected to the upper inner end of the threaded cylinder to abut against the outer wall of the movable ball.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an insertion flow meter installation device that facilitates multi-directional adjustment, a ball valve is installed inside the short pipe.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which facilitates multi-directional adjustment of an insertion flow meter installation device, the movable ball is in close contact with the arc-shaped structure provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the installation tube.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the insertion flow meter installation device of this utility model, which facilitates multi-directional adjustment, a protective pad is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the abutment ring.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which facilitates multi-directional adjustment of an insertion flow meter installation device, the outer wall of the threaded cylinder is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed handles.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The fixing mechanism releases the movable ball from its fixed state, and then the short pipe drives the movable ball to rotate inside the installation pipe, thereby adjusting the movable ball and the short pipe. Through the interaction between the movable ball and the arc-shaped structure set at the lower end of the inner wall of the installation pipe, the movable ball and the short pipe can be adjusted in multiple directions, thereby adjusting the insertion flow meter body in multiple directions. There is no need to re-weld the short pipe or flange, which shortens the construction time and facilitates use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 An insertion flow meter installation device that facilitates multi-directional adjustment includes a pipe 1 and an insertion flow meter body 2. The outer wall of the pipe 1 is welded with an installation pipe 3 that communicates with it. The upper end of the inner wall of the installation pipe 3 is set as a straight structure, and the lower end of the inner wall of the installation pipe 3 is set as an arc-shaped structure. The inside of the installation pipe 3 is provided with a movable ball 4 that matches the arc-shaped structure. The outer wall of the movable ball 4 is provided with a through hole 5. The outer wall of the movable ball 4 is fixedly connected with a short pipe 6 that communicates with the through hole 5. The insertion flow meter body 2 passes through the short pipe 6 and the through hole 5 and extends into the inside of the pipe 1.

[0021] A fixing mechanism is provided on the upper end of the outer wall of the mounting tube 3.

[0022] In this embodiment: when the welding accuracy of the mounting pipe 3 is low, or when the movable ball 4 and the short pipe 6 are tilted, the installed insertion flow meter body 2 is not parallel to the flow direction. Therefore, the insertion flow meter body 2 needs to be adjusted. During adjustment, the fixing mechanism is first released from the fixed state of the movable ball 4, so that the movable ball 4 can move inside the mounting pipe 3. Then, the short pipe 6 drives the movable ball 4 to rotate inside the mounting pipe 3, thereby adjusting the movable ball 4 and the short pipe 6. Through the mutual cooperation between the movable ball 4 and the arc-shaped structure set at the lower end of the inner wall of the mounting pipe 3, the movable ball 4 and the short pipe 6 can be adjusted in multiple directions, thereby adjusting the insertion flow meter body 2 in multiple directions. There is no need to re-weld the short pipe or flange, which shortens the construction time and facilitates use. After the adjustment is completed, the movable ball 4 is fixed again by the fixing mechanism.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the fixing mechanism includes a threaded cylinder 7 that is threaded to the upper end of the outer wall of the mounting tube 3, and an abutment ring 8 that abuts against the outer wall of the movable ball 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner side of the threaded cylinder 7.

[0024] In this embodiment: when fixing the movable ball 4, the threaded cylinder 7 is rotated to move the threaded cylinder 7 downward. The threaded cylinder 7 drives the abutment ring 8 to abut tightly against the outer wall of the movable ball 4, thereby fixing the movable ball 4 by the compression of the abutment ring 8.

[0025] When the fixed state of the movable ball 4 is released, the threaded cylinder 7 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the threaded cylinder 7 to move upward. The threaded cylinder 7 drives the abutment ring 8 away from the movable ball 4, thereby releasing the fixed state of the movable ball 4.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a ball valve 9 is installed inside the short pipe 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, the short pipe 6 can be blocked by the ball valve 9.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the movable sphere 4 and the arc-shaped structure provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the mounting tube 3 are in close contact.

[0029] In this embodiment, the movable ball 4 and the arc-shaped structure provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the mounting tube 3 are in close contact, which can seal the movable ball 4 and the arc-shaped structure provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the mounting tube 3.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a protective pad is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the abutment ring 8.

[0031] In this embodiment, a protective pad is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the abutment ring 8. The protective pad can increase the friction between the abutment ring 8 and the movable ball 4, thereby efficiently fixing the movable ball 4.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 7 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed handles 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, the handle 10 facilitates the rotation of the threaded cylinder 7.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When installing the insertion flow meter body 2, first open the ball valve 9 to connect the short pipe 6, then insert the insertion flow meter body 2 into the inside of the pipe 1 through the short pipe 6 and the through hole 5, and then fix and seal the insertion flow meter body 2 by the fixing buckle on the outer wall of the insertion flow meter body 2 (the fixing buckle is a known and mature existing technology, and its components and working principle are not described in detail here), thereby completing the installation operation of the insertion flow meter body 2;

[0035] When the welding precision of the mounting pipe 3 is low, or when the movable ball 4 and the short pipe 6 are tilted, the installed insertion flowmeter body 2 is not parallel to the flow direction. Therefore, the insertion flowmeter body 2 needs to be adjusted. During adjustment, first release the fixing mechanism from the movable ball 4, allowing the movable ball 4 to move within the mounting pipe 3. Specifically, rotate the threaded cylinder 7 in the opposite direction, causing the threaded cylinder 7 to move upward. The threaded cylinder 7 drives the abutment ring 8 away from the movable ball 4, thereby releasing the fixing mechanism from the movable ball 4. Then, the short pipe 6 drives the movable ball 4 to rotate within the mounting pipe 3. The movement allows for adjustment of the movable ball 4 and the short pipe 6. Through the interaction between the movable ball 4 and the arc-shaped structure at the lower end of the inner wall of the mounting pipe 3, the movable ball 4 and the short pipe 6 can be adjusted in multiple directions, thereby adjusting the insertion flow meter body 2 in multiple directions. After the adjustment is completed, the movable ball 4 is fixed again by the fixing mechanism. Specifically, the threaded cylinder 7 is rotated to move the threaded cylinder 7 downward. The threaded cylinder 7 drives the abutment ring 8 to abut tightly against the outer wall of the movable ball 4, thereby fixing the movable ball 4 by the compression of the abutment ring 8.
