Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic flow meter technology, specifically to an ultrasonic flow meter mounting bracket with an adjustable probe. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic flow meter is a type of flow meter developed based on the principle that the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in a flowing medium is equal to the vector sum of the average flow velocity of the measured medium and the velocity of the sound wave in a stationary medium. It mainly consists of a probe, a transducer, and a converter. There are different types, such as Doppler method, velocity difference method, beam deflection method, noise method, and correlation method. During installation, it needs to be fixed on a mounting bracket.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a buffer spring 13 is installed inside the sealing cover 2, and a buffer tube 14 is installed on the lower surface of the sealing cover 2. The buffer tube 14 passes through the buffer spring 13. An upper ring 15 is installed on the outer surface of the buffer tube 14. A plug rod 16 passes through the inside of the upper ring 15. A movable piece 17 is installed at the bottom end of the plug rod 16. The outer surface of the buffer tube 14 passes through the inside of the movable piece 17. An auxiliary tube 18 is sleeved at the bottom end of the buffer tube 14. The outer surface of the auxiliary tube 18 passes through the inside of the movable piece 17. The outer surface of the movable rod 4 passes through the inside of the movable piece 17 and the upper ring 15, respectively. Both the upper ring 15 and the movable piece 17 pass through the inside of the reserved tube 1.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a movable tube 19 runs through the interior of the lower ring 6. A threaded post 20 is installed on the upper surface of the movable tube 19. A tightening post 21 is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded post 20. A connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected inside the tightening post 21. A tightening plate 23 is installed at the top of the connecting rod 22. During the rotation of the connecting rod 22 along the interior of the tightening post 21, the tightening plate 23 is in close contact with the movable plate 17. During this process, the tightening plate 23 will not rotate.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom end of the reserved pipe 1 is connected to the pipe body 25, and the upper surface of the sealing cover 2 is provided with a connecting plug 24.

The ultrasonic flow monitoring device includes a connecting line and an analysis display screen, which is used for flow monitoring and display in the pipe body 25. A flange 26 is installed on the outside of the pipe body 25. A connecting hole is opened inside the flange 26. The connecting hole is used to connect the pipe body 25 to the transmission pipe in the prior art with bolts in the prior art.

[0033] It should be noted that the interiors of the moving tube 19, the auxiliary tube 18, and the buffer tube 14 are all cavities. The probe 12 is connected to the connector 24 via a transmission line, which passes through the buffer tube 14, the auxiliary tube 18, and the moving tube 19, respectively. In the prior art, a control valve is installed in the middle of the transmission tube. When installing this device, the control valve needs to be closed to prevent leakage in the transmission tube. The probe 12 can only be adjusted along the direction of the liquid flowing inside the pipe body 25.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Rotating the clamping column 21 counterclockwise causes it to move upward along the threaded column 20. The upward movement of the clamping column 21 drives the connecting rod 22 to move upward, which in turn drives the clamping plate 23 to move upward. The upward movement of the clamping plate 23 pushes the moving plate 17 to move upward, which in turn drives the insertion rod 16 to move upward along the upper ring 15. The upward movement of the moving plate 17 drives the auxiliary tube 18 to move upward, which in turn drives the upper ring 15 to move upward.

[0036] At the same time, the upper ring 15 moves upward to compress the buffer spring 13, causing the buffer tube 14 to enter the interior of the auxiliary tube 18. The auxiliary tube 18 moves upward, causing the moving tube 19 to move upward. The moving tube 19 moves upward, causing the lower ring 6 to move upward. The lower ring 6 moves upward, causing the connecting piece 7 to move upward. The connecting piece 7 moves upward, causing the connecting shaft 8 to move upward. The connecting shaft 8 moves upward, causing the probe 12 to move upward. The connecting shaft 8 moves upward, causing the first fixing piece 9 to move upward. The first fixing piece 9 moves upward, causing the second fixing piece 10 to move upward. The second fixing piece 10 moves upward, causing the connecting frame 11 to move upward. The connecting frame 11 moves upward, causing the moving rod 4 to move upward. The moving rod 4 moves upward along the interior of the connecting tube 3 and the sealing cover 2. After the movement is complete, the connecting pin 5 is inserted into the interior of the connecting tube 3, and then the connecting pin 5 is rotated clockwise to press against the moving rod 4.

[0037] Close the control valve installed in the middle of the transmission pipe to stop the flow of liquid inside the pipe body 25. Then move the adjusted sealing cap 2 above the reserved pipe 1. Manipulate the sealing cap 2 to move downward, which will cause the buffer pipe 14 to move downward. The buffer pipe 14 moves downward, which will cause the auxiliary pipe 18 to move downward. The auxiliary pipe 18 moves downward, which will cause the upper ring 15 to move downward. The upper ring 15 moves downward, which will cause the plug rod 16 to move downward. The plug rod 16 moves downward, which will cause the moving piece 17 to move downward. The moving piece 17 moves downward, which will cause the moving pipe 19 to move downward. The moving pipe 19 moves downward, which will cause the lower ring 6 to move downward. The lower ring 6 moves downward, which will cause the connecting piece 7 to move downward. The connecting piece 7 moves downward, which will cause the connecting shaft 8 to move downward. The connecting shaft 8 moves downward, which will insert the probe 12 into the pipe body 25. The sealing cap 2 is placed on the top of the reserved pipe 1 and tightened clockwise.

[0038] Insert the connection cable of the existing ultrasonic flow monitoring device into the connector plug 24, open the control valve set in the middle of the transmission pipe, so that liquid flows in the transmission pipe and the pipe body 25, so that the probe 12 transmits the flow data to the ultrasonic flow monitoring device through the transmission cable, connector plug 24 and the connection cable for data display.

[0039] When the angle of probe 12 needs to be adjusted, loosen the connecting pin 5 counterclockwise, manipulate the moving rod 4 to move downward along the connecting tube 3, the moving rod 4 moves downward and drives the connecting frame 11 to move downward, the connecting frame 11 moves downward and drives the second fixing plate 10 to flip downward, the second fixing plate 10 flips downward and drives the first fixing plate 9 to flip downward, the first fixing plate 9 flips downward and drives the connecting shaft 8 to rotate along the inside of the connecting plate 7, so that the connecting shaft 8 drives the probe 12 to flip upward and tilt through the connecting column. After adjustment, rotate the connecting pin 5 clockwise to press the moving rod 4.

[0040] It should be noted that before the device is installed, the reserved tube 1 is covered with a threaded, un-drilled sealing cover. In order to prevent leakage from the reserved tube 1, the angle of the probe 12 to the left or right will not be too large, and it cannot be directly rotated ninety degrees.

[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
