The above-mentioned flow calibration device is widely used in chemical production, pharmaceutical and water treatment industries to ensure the accuracy of the proportion of additives in the detected liquid.
[0003] In some radioactive environments, flow calculation is required. However, in radioactive environments, conventional metering pump flow calibration devices will be affected by radiation, resulting in degradation of component performance, inaccurate measurements, or even damage. At the same time, for production safety, radioactive objects are usually buried deep underground, making it impossible for workers to observe flow at close range, resulting in measurement errors.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the metering pump inlet, the metering pump overflow outlet and the emptying port circulate in the device through a pipeline, and a pump body is further provided at the lower end of the emptying port.

[0009] Preferably, the calibration tank, the first air blowing pipe, the second air blowing pipe, the constant flow device, the air pump and the differential pressure transmitter are buried deep underground.
[0010] The present invention also provides a control method for a flow calibration device of a metering pump in a radiation environment, wherein a liquid level sensor is provided in each of the first air blowing pipe and the second air blowing pipe, and a control center is provided on the differential pressure transmitter, wherein the liquid level sensor is used to detect the liquid level state in the first air blowing pipe and the second air blowing pipe, and the control center is used to calculate the pressure difference data and display the calculation result on the pressure difference transmitter, and the control method comprises the following steps: S1, sealing the emptying port of the device to prevent the metering pump medium from leaking from the emptying port;
[0011] S2, the metering pump inlet is opened and the metering pump medium is introduced, and at the same time the air pump ventilates the first and second air blowing pipes, and the air stabilizing valve is used to ensure the smooth air output, and the ventilation time is T1;
[0012] S3. After the T1 period, the differential pressure transmitter detects the liquid levels of the first air blowing pipe and the second air blowing pipe, and the detection results are H1 and H2 respectively;
[0013] S4, calculating the pressure difference between the first air blowing pipe and the second air blowing pipe through H1 and H2, and recording the current pressure difference;

[0017] S8. Perform flow calibration calculation based on the twice measured pressure difference, and upload the calculation result to the control center, and perform flow calibration calculation through the control center.
[0018] Preferably, in steps S4 and S7, the pressure difference is calculated as:
[0019] (1)
[0020] in, is the pressure difference between the first blowing pipe and the second blowing pipe, is the density of the metering pump medium liquid, is the acceleration due to gravity, It is the measured liquid level in the current calibration tank.
[0021] Preferably, the step S5 also includes an overflow detection of the calibration tank, including the following steps: S51, the overflow outlet of the metering pump detects whether there is liquid passing through it. If so, it is determined that too much medium is currently passed into the metering pump, and the liquid level reaches the overflow outlet of the metering pump and overflows. The device stops ventilation and opens the emptying port to allow the metering pump medium to be discharged from the emptying port. Otherwise, it is determined that the liquid level in the calibration tank is normal and the device continues to operate.
[0022] Preferably, the control method further includes an emptying control of the calibration tank, comprising the following steps: S9, before the metering pump medium is introduced, opening the device emptying port, and simultaneously closing the metering pump medium inlet and the metering pump medium outlet;
[0023] S10, continue to ventilate the first air blowing tube and the second air blowing tube, and the ventilation time is T3;
[0024] S11, after the T3 time period, the ventilation is stopped, and the device detects whether there is liquid in the air blowing pipe. If so, it is determined that there is liquid in the calibration tank, and the device jumps back to S10 for re-detection. Otherwise, it is determined that there is no liquid in the current calibration tank, and jumps to S12 for further detection;
[0025] S12, the device opens the medium inlet and the medium outlet of the metering pump, and closes the device drain port for subsequent testing.
[0026] By adopting the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects are as follows: 1. By providing an air blowing device on the top of the calibration tank body, the air blowing device includes a first air blowing pipe, a second air blowing pipe, a differential pressure transmitter and an air pump, and a constant flow device is provided between the air pump and the first and second air blowing pipes. By adopting the above setting scheme, air can be evenly blown into the first and second air blowing pipes through the constant flow device. At the same time, since a metering pump medium for measurement is provided inside the calibration tank body, the metering pump medium exists in the portion of the air blowing pipe located at the bottom of the liquid surface. At the same time, when blowing, the air pressure in the air blowing pipe is greater than the liquid pressure at the lower end of the air blowing pipe. Column static pressure, gas bubbles out from the lower end of the air blowing pipe, and because the constant flow device in the air blowing pipe limits the amount of supplementary gas in the pipe, the air blowing pipe pressure displayed on the differential pressure transmitter is the static pressure of the liquid column. The static pressure value is used to calculate the pressure difference according to the pressure difference method through static pressure and liquid level height, and the result is uploaded to the control center. The measurement workpiece structure of the pressure difference and flow is compact, the span between each structure is small, the detection result is highly accurate, and the measurement structure is buried underground synchronously with the radioactive items, avoiding the harm of radioactive substances to the staff, and the safety is high.
[0027] 2. Furthermore, in the process of adding metering pump medium into the calibration tank body and in the process of ventilation detection on the air blowing pipe, in order to avoid overflow of the metering pump medium in the calibration tank body, the height of the metering pump inlet on the side wall of the calibration tank body is less than the height of the metering pump outlet on the side wall of the calibration tank body. When the metering pump medium is added into the calibration tank body through the metering pump inlet, it is effectively prevented that the metering pump medium is added too much, thereby causing the metering pump to overflow out of the top of the calibration tank body. At the same time, the height of the bottom of the second air blowing pipe inside the calibration tank body is greater than the height of the metering pump outlet on the calibration tank body, which effectively prevents the metering pump medium from entering the second air blowing pipe, preventing the liquid from affecting the second air blowing pipe and reducing the detection accuracy. In addition, the present application can also simultaneously perform overflow detection on the calibration tank body during the process of flow detection. Specifically, when liquid passes through the overflow outlet of the calibration tank body, it means that there is too much metering pump medium in the calibration tank body. If the detection is continued, the accuracy of the result will be poor, and the metering pump medium in the calibration tank body needs to be discharged.
[0028] 3. At the same time, in order to improve the accuracy of the detection, it is necessary to ensure the stability and uniformity of the ventilation process when the air blowing pipe is ventilated. A constant flow device is provided between the pump body and the air blowing pipe. The constant flow device is used to limit the air flow passing through so as to ensure uniform ventilation of the first and second air blowing pipes, and prevent the pressure value from changing and causing measurement errors. In the detection process, the pressure difference method is used to measure the flow rate. Specifically, the measurement formula of the pressure difference method is: ,in, is the pressure difference between the first air blowing pipe and the second air blowing pipe to be measured, To calibrate the density of the metering pump medium in the tank, is the current gravitational acceleration, For the measured liquid level, the liquid level of the blowing pipe can be conveniently obtained during the ventilation of the blowing pipe, so that the pressure difference can be calculated, and the detection is convenient. At the same time, by repeatedly introducing the metering pump medium and blowing the first and second blowing pipes, the pressure difference can be detected, the accuracy of the detection result is improved, and the detection effect is good.
[0029] 4. In addition, before the flow test, the calibration tank needs to be emptied to prevent the presence of liquid in the calibration tank, thereby reducing the accuracy of the test. The inside of the calibration tank needs to be emptied and tested before the test starts and after the test is completed. Specifically, if there is liquid residue in the calibration tank, the actual volume of liquid involved in the calibration will be less than the theoretical calculation during the test. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the inside of the calibration tank dry. After the calibration tank is emptied, gas is continuously introduced into the calibration tank to ensure that the inside of the calibration tank is dry, thereby improving the accuracy of the test.

[0052] (1)
[0053] in, is the pressure difference between the first blowing pipe and the second blowing pipe, is the density of the metering pump medium liquid, is the acceleration due to gravity, It is the measured liquid level in the current calibration tank.
[0054] Preferably, the step S5 also includes an overflow detection of the calibration tank, including the following steps: S51, the overflow outlet of the metering pump detects whether there is liquid passing through it. If so, it is determined that too much medium is currently passed into the metering pump, and the liquid level reaches the overflow outlet of the metering pump and overflows. The device stops ventilation and opens the emptying port to allow the metering pump medium to be discharged from the emptying port. Otherwise, it is determined that the liquid level in the calibration tank is normal and the device continues to operate.
[0055] Preferably, the control method further includes an emptying control of the calibration tank, comprising the following steps: S9, before the metering pump medium is introduced, opening the device emptying port, and simultaneously closing the metering pump medium inlet and the metering pump medium outlet;
[0056] S10, continue to ventilate the first air blowing tube and the second air blowing tube, and the ventilation time is T3;
[0057] S11, after the T3 time period, the ventilation is stopped, and the device detects whether there is liquid in the air blowing pipe. If so, it is determined that there is liquid in the calibration tank, and the device jumps back to S10 for re-detection. Otherwise, it is determined that there is no liquid in the current calibration tank, and jumps to S12 for further detection;
[0058] S12, the device opens the medium inlet and the medium outlet of the metering pump, and closes the device drain port for subsequent testing.
[0059] By providing an air blowing device on the top of the calibration tank body 1, the air blowing device includes a first air blowing pipe 21, a second air blowing pipe 22, a differential pressure transmitter 23 and an air pump 24, and a constant flow device 7 is provided between the air pump 24 and the first and second air blowing pipes 22. By adopting the above-mentioned setting scheme, air can be evenly blown into the first and second air blowing pipes 22 through the constant flow device 7. At the same time, since a metering pump medium for measurement is provided inside the calibration tank body 1, the metering pump medium exists in the portion of the air blowing pipe located at the bottom of the liquid surface. At the same time, when blowing, the air pressure in the air blowing pipe is greater than the static pressure of the liquid column at the lower end of the air blowing pipe. Pressure, gas bubbles out from the lower end of the air blowing pipe, and because the constant flow device 7 in the air blowing pipe limits the amount of supplementary gas in the pipe, the air blowing pipe pressure displayed on the differential pressure transmitter 23 is the static pressure of the liquid column. The static pressure value is used to calculate the pressure difference according to the pressure difference method through the static pressure and the liquid level height, and the result is uploaded to the control center. The measurement workpiece structure of the pressure difference and flow is compact, the span between each structure is small, the detection result is highly accurate, and the measurement structure is buried underground synchronously with the radioactive items, avoiding the harm of radioactive substances to the staff, and the safety is high.
[0060] Furthermore, in the process of adding the metering pump medium into the calibration tank body 1 and in the process of performing ventilation detection on the air blowing pipe, in order to avoid the overflow of the metering pump medium in the calibration tank body 1, the height of the metering pump inlet 3 on the side wall of the calibration tank body 1 is less than the height of the metering pump outlet on the side wall of the calibration tank body 1. When the metering pump medium is added into the calibration tank body 1 through the metering pump inlet 3, it is effectively prevented that the metering pump medium is added too much, thereby causing the metering pump to overflow from the top of the calibration tank body 1. At the same time, the bottom of the second air blowing pipe 22 is at the calibration tank body 1. The internal height is greater than the height of the metering pump outlet on the calibration tank body 1, which effectively prevents the metering pump medium from entering the second air blowing pipe 22, prevents the liquid from affecting the second air blowing pipe 22 and thus reducing the detection accuracy, and the present application can also simultaneously perform overflow detection on the calibration tank body 1 during the flow detection process. Specifically, when liquid passes through the overflow outlet of the calibration tank body 1, it means that there is too much metering pump medium in the calibration tank body 1. If the detection continues, it will lead to poor accuracy of the result, and the metering pump medium in the calibration tank body 1 needs to be discharged.
[0061] At the same time, during the detection process, in order to improve the accuracy of the detection, it is necessary to ensure the stability and uniformity of the ventilation process when the air blowing pipe is ventilated. A constant flow device 7 is provided between the pump body 6 and the air blowing pipe. The constant flow device 7 is used to limit the air flow passing therethrough to ensure uniform ventilation of the first and second air blowing pipes 22, and prevent the pressure value from changing, thereby causing a metering error. In the detection process, the pressure difference method is used to measure the flow rate. Specifically, the metering formula of the pressure difference method is: ∆P=γ×g×h, wherein ∆P is the pressure difference between the first air blowing pipe 21 and the second air blowing pipe 22 to be measured, γ is the density of the metering pump medium in the calibration tank body 1, g is the current gravitational acceleration, and h is the measured liquid level. In the process of ventilating the air blowing pipe, the liquid level of the air blowing pipe can be conveniently obtained, thereby calculating the pressure difference, and the detection is convenient. At the same time, by repeatedly introducing the metering pump medium and blowing the first and second air blowing pipes 22, the pressure difference is detected, the accuracy of the detection result is improved, and the detection effect is good.
[0062] In addition, before the flow detection, the calibration tank 1 needs to be emptied to prevent the presence of liquid in the calibration tank 1, thereby reducing the accuracy of the detection. The interior of the calibration tank 1 needs to be emptied and tested before the detection begins and after the detection is completed. Specifically, if there is residual liquid in the calibration tank 1, the actual volume of liquid involved in the calibration will be less than the theoretical calculation during the detection process. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the interior of the calibration tank 1 dry. After the calibration tank 1 is emptied, gas is continuously introduced into the calibration tank 1 to ensure that the interior of the calibration tank 1 is dry, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.
[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
