A vortex flowmeter anti-pipeline vibration method and system combining frequency variance calculation and amplitude calculation

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of flow detection, and relates to a pipeline vibration resistance method and system for a vortex flowmeter combining frequency variance calculation and amplitude calculation for a single sensor structure. Among the output signals of the vortex flow sensor, the frequency variance of the flow signal is larger, and the frequency variance of the tube vibration is smaller. However, when the signal-to-noise ratio is poor, there will be vibration harmonics whose frequency variance is greater than the flow frequency variance. When the flow signal and the pipeline vibration frequency are the same, the amplitude of the signal will suddenly increase or decrease intermittently, resulting in measurement errors. Therefore, by performing spectrum analysis on the output signal of the vortex flow sensor, and then calculating the frequency variance of the peak spectrum, at the same time, calculating the amplitude of the peak spectrum, eliminating vibration harmonic interference, and solving the problem of measuring errors in the same frequency signal The problem is to use the method of frequency variance calculation combined with spectrum amplitude calculation to extract the vortex flow frequency and effectively improve the anti-pipeline vibration performance of the vortex flowmeter.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of flow detection, and relates to a signal processing method and system of a vortex flowmeter, in particular to a method and system for anti-pipeline vibration of a vortex flowmeter combining frequency variance calculation and amplitude calculation. Background technique [0002] The vortex flowmeter is suitable for the flow measurement of various media such as liquid, gas and saturated steam. At the same time, it has been widely used because of its advantages of no mechanical moving parts, simple and reliable structure and long service life. Since the vortex flowmeter is a flowmeter based on the principle of fluid vibration, it is particularly susceptible to the influence of pipeline vibration interference. However, motors, pumps, valves and other equipment are commonly found in industrial sites, and their work will cause vibrations in pipelines. Especially when the pipeline vibration interference energy in the outpu...

Problems solved by technology

However, the digital vortex flowmeter based on the dual-sensor structure and anti-strong interference has the following disadvantages: (1) the requirements for the electromechanical characteristics and packaging process of the two vortex flow sensors are extremely high, otherwise, when the cut-off frequency and Harmonic interference that cannot be removed by the cut-off amplitude will lead to misjudgment of on-site conditions, resulting in measurement errors

(2) There are high requirements for the sensitivity difference of the two vortex sensors to feel the vortex flow signal and vibration noise, and it is difficult to meet the design requirements of the sensitivity difference required by this method in actual implementation

However, this vortex flowmeter digital signal processing system based on a single sensor with strong anti-interference also has shortcomings: (1) The amount of autocorrelation calculation is large. In practical applications, in order to meet the requirements of low power consumption of the vortex flowmeter, can only reduce the number of autocorrelation points

(2) For autocorrelation calculations with fewer points, the attenuation curve of the autocorrelation function of the vortex signal fluctuates and is not completely unidirectional. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately obtain the ratio of the required autocorrelation function amplitude, which is likely to cause the result to be wrong. Misjudgment

[0006] However, the proposer of this method did not explain the specific method of calculating the frequency variance, and at the same time, did not explain how to judge whether the peak value in the spectrum has jumped, because when the peak value jumps, it is necessary to update the actual peak value used to calculate the frequency variance Otherwise, it will cause the calculation error of the frequency variance

[0007] In practical applications, due to the vibration harmonic interference whose frequency variance is greater than the flow frequency variance in the output signal of the vortex flow sensor, it is wrong to extract the flow frequency based on the frequency variance

In addition, when the frequency of flow and vibration are the same, because the two phases are not completely synchronized, the amplitude of the output signal of the vortex flow sensor will intermittently increase or decrease suddenly, and the signal amplitude suddenly decays In the data segment, the actual number of peaks in the spectrum is 0, and the direct output of 0Hz is the flow frequency, which will cause measurement errors

[0008] Therefore, to apply this method to vortex flowmeter products, the following problems need to be solved: (1) How to calculate the frequency variance quickly and accurately; (2) How to judge whether the frequency of each peak in the spectrum has jumped ;(3) How to eliminate the influence of vibration and harmonic interference; (4) How to solve the measurement error caused by the decrease of signal amplitude when the flow and vibration are at the same frequency
