[0129] Zero air volume situation: In the case of zero air volume, there are 421 sets of 117870 high temperature (55°) data, 13076 sets of low temperature (-15°) data, and 432 sets of 120960 normal temperature (20°) data. Under the three temperature conditions, the estimated average time difference calculated by the formula is -0.3062ns, 0.1763ns and 0.1187ns, and the mean square error is 0.4667ns, 0.6078ns and 0.2769ns. Such as Figure 5 As shown, in the three temperature conditions, the average time difference is close to 0 ns, which has strong consistency. The mean square error is slightly enlarged in the high and low temperature conditions, but the overall error is within ±2ns.

Abstract

A measurement algorithm for the flow rate of an ultrasonic gas meter, comprising the following steps: (A) input an up-flight signal and a down-flight signal, and perform Fourier transform on the two signals; (B) calculate the frequency spectrum of the cross-correlation curve; (C) Perform inverse Fourier transform on the spectrum of the cross-correlation curve to obtain the cross-correlation curve, obtain the peak point position and two points adjacent to the peak point position on the curve through maximum value exploration, and use the parabolic estimation function to obtain the estimated value of model 1 ; (D) After performing Hilbert transform on the cross-correlation curve, use the linear interpolation function to calculate the estimated value of model 2; (E) calculate the estimated value of the model combination according to the estimated values ​​of the two models; (F) calculate the estimated value of the model combination according to the model combination According to the comparison between the estimated value and the sampling period, the adaptive delay filter or the wave reduction method are respectively selected for further accurate estimation. The present invention can obtain good accuracy for estimating small flow in time domain or wave number domain, and the calculation result has high stability.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic flight time calculation, in particular to an ultrasonic gas meter flow measurement algorithm. Background technique [0002] Ultrasonic gas meters have become a research hotspot in the field of gas measurement due to their advantages of non-contact measurement, no moving parts, no pressure loss, and extremely high measurement accuracy. The measurement principle of ultrasonic gas meter is to estimate the instantaneous flow rate by using the time difference of ultrasonic in the forward and reverse flow directions. Regardless of the influence of the sound velocity on the pipeline environment, the estimation of the surface average velocity is mainly controlled by the time difference ΔT between the up-flight time and the down-flight time. Limited by the performance and hardware cost of the ultrasonic transducer, the accurate estimation of ΔT cannot only rely on increasing the sampling density to the target particl...
