[0033] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0034] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” used herein may also refer to the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a specific order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.
[0035] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.
[0036] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may also be rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, an ultrasonic probe disassembly and assembly tool is provided, including a support plate 1 and disassembly / assembly rods 2. The support plate 1 has disassembly / assembly holes 13. The number of disassembly / assembly rods 2 is at least two. At least one disassembly / assembly rod 2 is rotatably connected to the first end of the support plate 1 and at least one disassembly / assembly rod 2 is rotatably connected to the second end of the support plate 1.
[0038] In the above embodiments, it should be noted that the shape of the support plate 1 can be cylindrical, prismatic, or elliptical, etc., and the specific shape can be set according to the actual situation; the first end and the second end of the support plate 1 are opposite ends; the length of the disassembly rod 2 is greater than half the distance between the first end and the second end of the support plate 1.
[0039] The technical effects achieved by the above embodiments are as follows: The installation and removal hole 13 allows the support plate 1 to be connected to the ultrasonic flow meter probe via the hole. Then, the operator can remove or install the ultrasonic flow meter probe by lifting or pressing down the installation and removal rod 2. Because the lever arm of the installation and removal rod 2 is relatively long, the operator can easily remove the probe by using one installation and removal rod 2 at each of the first and second ends of the support plate 1, crossing the two rods, gripping them by hand, and simultaneously lifting them up. When installation is required, after inserting the probe into the installation and removal hole 13 and connecting it, the operator can easily install the probe by using one installation and removal rod 2 at each of the first and second ends of the support plate 1, crossing the two rods, gripping them by hand, and simultaneously pressing them down. This is convenient and quick, enabling rapid probe replacement and indirectly ensuring the efficiency of flow testing.
[0040] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a disassembly head 3, and there are at least two disassembly heads 3. Each disassembly rod 2 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1 through a disassembly head 3.
[0041] In the above optional embodiments, it should be noted that each disassembly head 3 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1 via a rotating shaft.
[0042] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are that the reliability of the connection between the disassembly / removal head 3 and the support plate 1 is increased by setting the disassembly / removal head 3.
[0043] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each disassembly / assembly head 3 includes a first disassembly / assembly part 31 and a second disassembly / assembly part 32. The first disassembly / assembly part 31 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1. The upper end of the first disassembly / assembly part 31 is connected to the corresponding disassembly / assembly rod 2. The second disassembly / assembly part 32 is connected to the lower end of the first disassembly / assembly part 31. The surface of the second disassembly / assembly part 32 facing away from the first disassembly / assembly part 31 is curved.
[0044] In the above optional embodiments, it should be noted that the surface of the disassembly head 3, which is formed by the combination of the first disassembly part 31 and the second disassembly part 32, includes a first surface 311, a second surface 321, a third surface 322 and a fourth surface 324 connected in sequence, as well as two opposing side surfaces. The first surface 311 is curved, while the second surface 321, the third surface 322 and the fourth surface 324 are all planar. The angle between the second surface 321 and the first surface 311 is obtuse, and the angle between the fourth surface 324 and the first surface 311 is also obtuse. The third surface 322 is opposite to the first surface 311, and the fourth surface 324 is opposite to the second surface 321. The angle between the second surface 321 and the third surface 322 is acute, and the angle between the third surface 322 and the fourth surface 324 is obtuse. The surface of the second disassembly part 32 that is opposite to the first disassembly part 31 is the first surface 311.
[0045] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are as follows: By setting the surface of the second disassembly part 32 away from the first disassembly part 31 to be curved, when it is necessary to disassemble the ultrasonic flow meter probe, it is only necessary to connect the ultrasonic flow meter probe to the disassembly hole 13 of the support plate 1 so that the bottom surface of the support plate 1 abuts against the upper surface of the ultrasonic flow meter, and then the disassembly rods 2 at both ends of the support plate 1 rotate in opposite directions to disassemble the probe by lever principle, which is convenient, quick and time-saving and labor-saving.
[0046] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it also includes mounting slots 12, and the number of mounting slots 12 is at least two. At least one mounting slot 12 is provided at the first end and the second end of the support plate 1. Each mounting slot 12 is rotatably connected to a disassembly head 3 through a side wall.

The disassembly head 3 and the inner side wall of the corresponding mounting groove 12 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft inserted into the first connecting hole 14 and the second connecting hole 323 in sequence.
[0048] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are that the reliability of the connection of the mounting head 3 is increased by the setting of the mounting slot 12.
[0049] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it also includes a clamping part 11, which is provided on the support plate 1.
[0050] In the above optional embodiments, it should be noted that the clamping part 11 can be two slot structures opened on both sides of the support plate 1.
[0051] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are that the clamping part 11 not only makes it convenient for workers to pick up the disassembly and assembly tool, but also reduces the weight of the disassembly and assembly tool.
[0052] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, disassembly hole 13 is a threaded hole.
[0053] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are as follows: Since the protruding part of the ultrasonic flow meter probe is a screw structure, it can form a threaded connection with the probe through the setting of the threaded hole, thereby further increasing the convenience of probe disassembly and assembly.
[0054] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the disassembly head 3 is polygonal or elliptical.
[0055] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are as follows: by setting the cross-sectional shape of the disassembly head 3 to be polygonal or elliptical, when it is necessary to disassemble the ultrasonic flow meter probe, it is only necessary to connect the ultrasonic flow meter probe to the disassembly hole 13 of the support plate 1 so that the bottom surface of the support plate 1 abuts against the upper surface of the ultrasonic flow meter, and then the disassembly rods 2 at both ends of the support plate 1 rotate in opposite directions to disassemble the probe by lever principle, which is convenient, quick and time-saving and labor-saving.
[0056] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two disassembly rods 2, one of which is rotatably connected to the first end of the support plate 1, and the other is rotatably connected to the second end of the support plate 1.
[0057] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are: the setting of two disassembly rods 2 can ensure the effectiveness of the tool while avoiding material waste.
[0058] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are two disassembly / reassembly heads 3, and the two disassembly / reassembly rods 2 are rotatably connected through one disassembly / reassembly head 3.
[0059] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are: the two disassembly heads 3 can ensure the effectiveness of the tool while avoiding material waste.
[0060] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first disassembly / assembly part 31 and the second disassembly / assembly part 32 of each disassembly / assembly head 3 are integrally formed.
[0061] The advantages of the above optional embodiments are: the integral molding of the first disassembly part 31 and the second disassembly part 32 increases the convenience of processing this tool.
[0062] The method for disassembling and assembling the probe using this tool is as follows:
[0063] When disassembling the probe, simply connect the ultrasonic flow meter probe to the support plate 1 so that the bottom surface of the support plate 1 abuts against the upper surface of the ultrasonic flow meter. Then, rotate the disassembly rods 2 at both ends of the support plate 1 in opposite directions to disassemble the probe using the lever principle. Furthermore, the combined design of the first surface 311, the second surface 321, the third surface 322, and the fourth surface 324 can effectively reduce the force required for disassembly while achieving a relatively stable disassembly of the probe, which is convenient, quick, and saves time and effort.
[0064] When installing the probe, insert the probe into the mounting / removal hole 13 and connect it. Then, cross the two mounting / removal rods 2, hold the two mounting / removal rods 2 by hand, and press down on the two mounting / removal rods 2 at the same time to easily install the probe. This is convenient and quick, thus enabling rapid probe replacement and indirectly ensuring the efficiency of flow testing.
[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
