[0021] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a connection structure for a flow meter. The connection structure also includes a connecting pipe 1 and a pipe 2. The bottom of the flow meter 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting pipe 1, and one side of each pipe 2 is movably installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 1. Installation components 4 are installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 1, and positioning mechanisms 5 are installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 1. The installation components 4 and positioning mechanisms 5 are used to connect the pipe 2. A fixing mechanism 6 is installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 1. The fixing mechanism 6 is used to fix the connection of the pipe 2.

[0022] Specifically, the installation component 4 and the positioning mechanism 5 can connect the pipe 2, and the fixing mechanism 6 can connect and fix the pipe 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 1 are installed by the installation component 4, the installation component 4 is fixed by the positioning mechanism 5, and the connecting pipe 1 and the pipe 2 are connected and fixed by the fixing mechanism 6.

[0024] Example 2, the second embodiment of this utility model, provides an installation component 4 including an installation rod 401 and an installation ring 402. One side of the two installation rods 401 is fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 1, and one side of the two installation rings 402 is fixedly installed on the other side of the pipe 2. The surface of the installation rod 401 is movably installed in the middle of the installation ring 402 and the pipe 2. The positioning mechanism 5 includes a positioning rod 501, a positioning ring 502 and a positioning spring 503. The bottom of the positioning ring 502 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation ring 402. The surface of the positioning rod 501 is movably installed in the middle of the positioning ring 502. The bottom of the positioning rod 501 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the installation rod 401. One end of the positioning spring 503 is fixedly installed on the top of the positioning ring 502, and the other end of the positioning spring 503 is fixedly installed on the top of the positioning rod 501. The positioning spring 503 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 501. A vertical rod 8 is installed on the top of the positioning rod 501, and a connecting plate 9 is installed on the top of the vertical rod 8.

[0025] Specifically, the connecting pipe 1 and the pipe 2 are installed and connected by the installation component 4, and the installation component 4 is positioned by the positioning mechanism 5, thereby connecting and fixing the connecting pipe 1 and the pipe 2.

[0026] Furthermore, pipe 2 is mounted on the connecting rod via mounting rod 401, and on mounting rod 401 via positioning rod 501, thereby connecting and fixing connecting pipe 1 and pipe 2.

[0027] Example 3, the third embodiment of this utility model, provides a fixing mechanism 6 including a positioning plate 601, a moving plate 602, a lead screw 603, and a threaded sleeve 604. The inner wall of the positioning plate 601 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting pipe 1, and one side of the positioning plate 601 is movably installed on the other side of the pipe 2. One end of the lead screw 603 is movably connected to the other side of the moving plate 602 through a rotating shaft. The surface of the lead screw 603 is movably installed in the middle of the positioning plate 601. The middle part of the threaded sleeve 604 is movably installed on the surface of the lead screw 603. The surface of the lead screw 603 and the middle part of the threaded sleeve 604 are connected by threads. A limiting rod 7 is installed on one side of the positioning plate 601. One end of the limiting rod 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning plate 601, and the surface of the limiting rod 7 is movably installed in the middle of the moving plate 602.

[0028] Specifically, the connecting pipe 1 and the pipe 2 are fixedly connected by the fixing mechanism 6.

[0029] Furthermore, rotating the threaded sleeve 604 causes the screw 603 to move via the threaded connection. The screw 603 then moves the moving plate 602 toward the center, and the moving plate 602 connects and fixes the connecting pipe 1 and the pipe 2.

[0030] Working principle: First, pull the connecting plate 9. The connecting plate 9 moves the vertical rod 8, which in turn moves the positioning rod 501. Then, pipe 2 is installed on connecting pipe 1 via mounting rod 401. A sealing ring 10 is installed between pipe 2 and connecting pipe 1. Next, release the connecting plate 9. The positioning spring 503 moves the positioning rod 501 to the mounting plate, thus fixing connecting pipe 1 and pipe 2 together. Then, rotate the threaded sleeve 604. The threaded sleeve 604, through its threaded connection, moves the lead screw 603 towards the center. When the flow meter 3 needs to be disassembled, the threaded sleeve 604 is rotated. The threaded sleeve 604 drives the threaded screw 603 to move through the threaded connection. The threaded screw 603 drives the moving plate 602 to move to both sides, and then pulls the connecting plate 9. The connecting plate 9 drives the vertical rod 8 to move. The vertical rod 8 drives the positioning rod 501 to move away from the mounting rod 401, thereby disassembling the flow meter 3.

[0031] In summary, the combination of the installation components, positioning mechanism, and fixing mechanism enables the flow meter to be quickly installed and removed.
