Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flow meter pipeline installation technology, specifically a flow meter pipeline clamping and adapter mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the installation and testing of flow meter pipelines, it is often necessary to quickly clamp and fix pipelines of different diameters. Traditional clamping devices mostly adopt rigid contact structures, with the clamping plate directly pressing against the outer wall of the pipeline. They lack buffering and adaptive adjustment capabilities, which can easily lead to damage to the pipeline surface or local stress concentration.

[0003] In the existing technology, although some clamping devices are equipped with elastic elements, they are often simple in structure and rely only on springs or rubber pads to provide buffering in one direction. They cannot effectively compensate for the deviation of the outer diameter of the pipe or achieve fine adjustment of the fitting angle. For example, some comparative devices directly bond a rubber layer to the inside of the clamping plate. Although it has a certain anti-slip effect, the rubber layer is easy to compress and deform and cannot be guided. It is easy to fall off after long-term use, resulting in uneven clamping force and affecting the fixation stability and measurement accuracy. Summary of the Invention

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0020] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth. Example

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an installation mechanism 1 including a pipe 101 and an installation plate 102. The installation plate 102 is disposed on one side of the pipe 101. A clamping mechanism 2 is disposed in the middle of the pipe 101. A cooperating mechanism 3 is disposed on the clamping mechanism 2. The clamping is used to clamp and fix the pipe 101 of different sizes, and the cooperating mechanism 3 is used to assist the clamping and fixing process.

[0022] Specifically, the installation mechanism 1, through the installation plate 102, pipe 101, clamping mechanism 2, and mating mechanism 3, solves the problems of poor clamping adaptability of pipe 101, unstable fixation, and stress concentration during installation in the prior art. The installation plate 102 provides stable foundation support to ensure the reliability of the overall structure during operation. The clamping mechanism 2 can be adjusted to adapt to pipes 101 of different diameters, while the mating mechanism 3 improves the uniformity and sealing of the clamping process through guiding, elastic buffering, and adaptive fitting functions.

[0023] Furthermore, when clamping and fixing flow meter pipes 101 of different sizes, the mounting assembly is first fixed to the horizontal or vertical support plane by the bottom mounting plate 102 to ensure stable and safe operation. Then, the pipe 101 is clamped and fixed, and the mating mechanism 3 assists in the process. Example

[0024] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a clamping mechanism 2 including a fixed frame 201, adjusting screws 202, a first clamping plate 203, a second clamping plate 204, a guide block 205, and a travel groove 206. The inner walls of both ends of the fixed frame 201 are threadedly connected to the surfaces of the two adjusting screws 202, and the lower ends of the two adjusting screws 202 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204, respectively. The two ends of the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the guide block 205. The travel groove 206 is formed on the surface of the fixed frame 201. The surface of the mounting plate 102 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed frame 201. The inner surface of the first clamping plate 203 is in sliding contact with the outer surface of the second clamping plate 204. The surface of the guide block 205 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the travel groove 206.

[0025] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 2, through the cooperation of the fixed frame 201, adjusting screw 202, first and second clamping plates 204, guide block 205 and stroke groove 206, solves the problems of inconvenient adjustment, poor centering and unstable operation of traditional clamping methods. The rotational motion of the adjusting screw 202 is converted into the linear movement of the clamping plate, realizing the control of the clamping distance. The sliding cooperation between the guide block 205 and the stroke groove 206 effectively constrains the movement trajectory, prevents the clamping plate from deviating or jamming, and ensures synchronous and smooth closure on both sides.

[0026] Furthermore, the mounting plate 102 and the fixing frame 201 constitute the basic support structure of the device, providing mechanical support for the operation of the clamping mechanism 2. The fixing frame 201 is symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mounting plate 102 and has a stroke groove 206 inside to guide the linear movement of the clamping components, avoid deviation or jamming during adjustment, and ensure stable and accurate clamping. Subsequently, the adjusting screws 202 at both ends of the fixing frame 201 are rotated manually or with tools. Because the adjusting screws 202 are threadedly engaged with the fixing frame 201, the rotational motion is converted into linear propulsion motion, which pushes the connected first and second clamping plates to move towards or away from each other along the stroke groove 206. Guide blocks 205 are provided on both sides of the clamping plates and are embedded in the stroke groove 206. They play a guiding and limiting role when the adjusting screws 202 are driven, preventing twisting or tilting. As the clamping plates approach, the inner flexible plate 303 approaches the outer wall of the pipe 101 to be clamped. The flexible plate 303 can deform to adapt to pipes 101 with different diameters and surface curvatures. Example

[0027] The third embodiment of this utility model provides a mating mechanism 3 including a limiting plate 301, a guide rod 302, a flexible plate 303, and an elastic block 304. The inner wall of the limiting plate 301 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide rod 302, and the lower end of the guide rod 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flexible plate 303. The elastic block 304 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 302. The surface of the limiting plate 301 is in contact with the outer surfaces of the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204. The surface of the guide rod 302 is slidably connected to the inner walls of the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204 through a sliding groove. The lower end of the elastic block 304 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204, and the upper end of the elastic block 304 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 302. The upper surface of the flexible plate 303 is in contact with the inner surfaces of the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204, and the surface of the flexible plate 303 is in contact with the outer surface of the pipe 101.

[0028] Specifically, the mating mechanism 3 effectively solves the problems of poor adaptability, non-fitting contact, and stress concentration of traditional clamping devices for pipes 101 of different sizes through the synergistic effect of the limiting plate 301, guide rod 302, flexible plate 303 and elastic block 304. The elastic block 304 provides uniform pre-tightening force, and the flexible plate 303 can slide slightly and tilt adaptively under the guidance of the guide rod 302 to ensure full fit with the surface of the pipe 101, avoid local squeezing or loosening, and improve the stability of clamping and sealing reliability.

[0029] Furthermore, after the flexible plate 303 initially contacts the outer surface of the pipe 101, the adjusting screws 202 at both ends are finely adjusted to make the flexible plate 303 fit the surface of the pipe 101. During this process, the guide rod 302 on the back of the flexible plate 303 is embedded in the groove of the clamping plate, allowing the flexible plate 303 to slide and adjust its angle within a small range when under pressure, optimizing the fit and eliminating local stress concentration. After the flexible plate 303 is fully fitted and stably contacts the pipe 101, the adjusting screws 202 are tightened further to allow the first and second clamping plates to apply a uniform clamping force to the flexible plate 303, thereby achieving reliable and firm clamping of pipes 101 of different sizes.

[0030] Working Principle: When clamping and fixing flow meter pipes 101 of different sizes, the entire mounting assembly must first be securely fixed to a horizontal or vertical support plane using the bottom mounting plate 102 to ensure the stability and safety of subsequent operations. The mounting plate 102 and the fixing frame 201 constitute the basic support structure of the device, providing a reliable mechanical support for the operation of the clamping mechanism 2. The fixing frame 201 is symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mounting plate 102, and its interior has a stroke groove 206 to guide the linear movement of the clamping components, avoiding deviation or jamming during adjustment, thereby ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the clamping action. Subsequently, by manually or with a tool, the adjusting screws 202 at both ends of the fixing frame 201 are rotated. Since the adjusting screws 202 and the fixing frame 201 are connected by a threaded engagement, the rotational motion is converted into linear propulsion motion, which in turn pushes the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204 connected to it to move towards or away from each other along the direction of the stroke groove 206. Guide blocks 205 are provided on both sides of the clamping plates, and these guide blocks 205 are embedded in the fixing frame 201. Within the travel groove 206, the adjusting screw 202 guides and limits the movement of the clamping plate, effectively preventing the clamping plate from twisting or tilting. As the clamping plate gradually approaches, the flexible plate 303 installed on its inner side gradually approaches the outer wall surface of the pipe 101 to be clamped. The flexible plate 303 has a certain deformation capacity and can adapt to pipes 101 with different diameters and surface curvatures. After the flexible plate 303 initially contacts the outer surface of the pipe 101, the adjusting screws 202 at both ends are further fine-tuned to make the flexible plate 303 fit the surface of the pipe 101. During this process, the guide rod 302 fixed on the back of the flexible plate 303 is embedded in the groove inside the clamping plate, allowing the flexible plate 303 to slide and adjust its angle within a small range when under pressure, thereby optimizing the fit of the contact surface and eliminating local stress concentration. After the flexible plate 303 is fully fitted and stably contacts the pipe 101, the adjusting screw 202 is further tightened so that the first clamping plate 203 and the second clamping plate 204 apply a uniform clamping force to the flexible plate 303, ultimately achieving reliable and firm clamping of pipes 101 of different sizes.

[0031] In summary, by adjusting the screw, fixing frame, stroke groove, guide block, first and second clamping plates, flexible plate and guide rod, the fitting and stable clamping of flow meter pipes of different diameters is achieved, effectively improving the versatility, sealing and ease of operation of the clamping device.
