[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0022] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tooling bracket for a river flow meter includes a C-shaped bent channel steel 1, two symmetrically arranged cylindrical rails 2 are fixedly welded inside the C-shaped bent channel steel 1, and a movable trolley is provided inside the C-shaped bent channel steel 1.

[0024] The C-shaped bent channel steel 1 serves as the main support structure for the entire tooling bracket, extending from the riverbank to the riverbed and being fixed in place. Two symmetrically arranged cylindrical rails 2 are fixedly welded inside the C-shaped bent channel steel 1, providing guidance and support for the vertical movement of the movable trolley.

[0025] The stroller includes:

[0026] Base plate 3: As the base of the mobile trolley, the base plate 3 is set inside the C-shaped bent channel steel 1 to provide a mounting base for other components. Steel wire ropes are also fixedly connected to the base plate 3, and the steel wire ropes are used to pull the base plate 3 to move.

[0027] Support frame 4 and guide pulley 5: The bottom of the base plate 3 is bolted to the support frame 4, and the guide pulley 5 is rotatably connected to the support frame 4. The guide pulley 5 is slidably set with the cylindrical track 2, so that the movable trolley can slide up and down along the cylindrical track 2 to realize the depth adjustment of the river flow meter.

[0028] Fixed shaft 6 and positioning pulley 7: A fixed shaft 6 is welded to the base plate 3, and a positioning pulley 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 6. The positioning pulley 7 is made of rubber and is positioned to abut against the top inner side of the C-shaped bent channel steel 1. When the movable trolley is loaded into the C-shaped bent channel steel 1, the positioning pulley 7 is squeezed, which increases the friction between the movable trolley and the C-shaped bent channel steel 1. The positioning pulley 7 plays a role in stabilizing the position of the movable trolley and preventing the movable trolley from swaying underwater.

[0029] Column 8 and clamp 9: Column 8 is hinged to the top of base plate 3, and clamp 9 is fixedly connected to column 8. Clamp 9 is used to fix the river flow meter. By adjusting the tightness of clamp 9, the river flow meter can be easily installed or removed.

[0030] Connecting plate 11, through hole 12, screw 13, and fastening nuts 10: A connecting plate 11 is also fixedly connected to the column 8, and the connecting plate 11 has a through hole 12. An inclined screw 13 is fixedly installed on the base plate 3, and the screw 13 passes through the through hole 12 and slides with the through hole 12. Two fastening nuts 10 are threadedly connected to the screw 13, and these two fastening nuts 10 are located on both sides of the connecting plate 11. By adjusting the position of the fastening nuts 10 on the screw 13, the connecting plate 11 can be fixed or loosened, thereby adjusting the angle of the river flow meter.

[0031] When using this device, first adjust the tightness of the clamp 9 to fix the river flow meter inside the clamp 9. Then, tighten the fastening nut 10 to adjust the angle of the river flow meter. Place the movable trolley into the C-shaped bent channel steel 1, so that the guide pulley 5 slides into the cylindrical track 2. Use the rigid push rod to push the movable trolley downwards along the C-shaped bent channel steel 1 until the required depth of the river flow meter is reached, and the installation is complete. During the installation process, the depth of the movable trolley can be adjusted by pulling the wire rope and using the push rod. When it is necessary to test or repair the river flow meter, simply pull the movable trolley out of the water for convenient and quick maintenance and repair of the flow monitoring instrument without the need for personnel to go into the water.

[0032] This utility model's tooling bracket for river flow meters, through the structural design of a C-shaped bent channel steel 1 and a movable trolley, achieves flexible installation, multi-angle adjustment, and convenient maintenance and repair of the river flow meter. This tooling bracket eliminates the need for traditional riverbed piling and underwater fixation of the flow meter, offering flexible and convenient installation that significantly saves installation time and labor costs. Furthermore, its ability to operate on water improves the safety and efficiency of maintenance and repair.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model patent and is not intended to limit this utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model patent should be included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
