Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow meter technology, specifically to a channel flow meter based on dual detection technology. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production and fluid transportation, flow meters, as indispensable key metering devices, are widely used in many industries such as petroleum, chemical, and water treatment. Their metering accuracy and stability are directly related to the improvement of production efficiency and the precision of process control. To prevent impurities in the fluid from directly impacting the monitoring ends of pressure, temperature, and other sensors, existing channel flow meters generally have protective meshes installed at the sensor detection ports to block large particles of impurities while ensuring that the fluid can smoothly contact the sensors to transmit pressure and temperature signals. This design has become a standard configuration in the industry.
[0003] However, in practical applications, channel flow meters still face several technical challenges that urgently need to be addressed. On one hand, after prolonged use, the mesh of the protective mesh is easily clogged by fine particles, fibers, and other impurities carried by the fluid. On the other hand, when the fluid flow rate is low, the fluid's own scouring force is insufficient to remove the accumulated impurities on the protective mesh; in fact, insufficient flow rate can accelerate impurity deposition. Furthermore, the sensor mounting cavity is prone to prolonged dampness due to moisture penetration from the fluid or environmental humidity, which not only leads to continuous degradation of sensor performance but can also damage the sensor circuitry in severe cases.
[0004] To address these technical issues, a channel flow meter based on dual detection technology is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] Example 1: In order to clean the protective mesh and solve the problem of clogging caused by the accumulation of impurities, such as... Figures 1 to 5As shown, one embodiment of the present invention is provided: a channel flow meter based on dual detection technology. The connecting mechanism 1 includes a lower pipe section 11 and an upper pipe section 12, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The opposite sides of the two are sealed by a sealing strip 15. A clamping frame 13 is fixed on the lower pipe section 11 and the upper pipe section 12 respectively. A first sealing bearing 14 is clamped and fixed by the clamping frame 13. An installation groove 121 is provided on the inner side of the upper pipe section 12. A protective mesh 16 is installed in the installation groove 121. The protective mesh 16 is an arc-shaped stainless steel mesh, and its arc is the same as the arc of the inner wall of the upper pipe section 12. It is used to block impurities in the fluid. A second sealing bearing 17 is embedded in a hole opened in the middle of the top of the installation groove 121.
[0041] One end of the guide fluid 52 of the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the first journal 51, and the other end is connected to the second journal 54 through the transverse rotating shaft 53. The first journal 51 and the second journal 54 are respectively rotatably engaged with the two first sealed bearings 14 of the connecting mechanism 1. The first bevel gear 531 is fixedly installed on the transverse rotating shaft 53. A spiral groove 521 is opened on the surface of the guide fluid 52.
[0042] The second bevel gear 551 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the longitudinal rotating shaft 55. The second bevel gear 551 meshes with the first bevel gear 531. The top of the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 passes through the second sealed bearing 17 and is rotatably connected to the mounting mechanism 2. The scraper 56 is fixedly installed on the longitudinal rotating shaft 55. The scraper 56 is made of flexible material and is strip-shaped. The side that contacts the protective mesh 16 is provided with bristles. During rotation, it can adaptively bend and deform with the arc surface of the protective mesh 16, and always maintain full contact with the surface of the arc-shaped protective mesh 16. The wind turbine 26 is sleeved on the part of the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 located inside the mounting mechanism 2.
[0043] When the fluid flows through the connecting mechanism 1, the fluid impacts the guide fluid 52, which rotates through the spiral groove 521. The guide fluid 52 drives the transverse rotating shaft 53 to rotate. The transverse rotating shaft 53 drives the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 to rotate through the meshing of the first bevel gear 531 and the second bevel gear 551. When the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 rotates, the flexible strip scraper 56 rotates synchronously. Through its own bending deformation, the bristles make close contact with the arc-shaped surface of the protective mesh 16 and scrape it, thoroughly removing the impurities accumulated on its surface. Since the particle size of the impurities is larger than the mesh aperture, they will not enter the inner side of the protective mesh 16, thus avoiding mesh blockage and ensuring that the temperature sensor body 23 and pressure sensor body 24 in the installation mechanism 2 can accurately sense the fluid pressure and temperature.
[0044] Example 2: To achieve cleaning power compensation at low flow rates and solve the problem of insufficient self-flushing force of the fluid at low flow rates, thus failing to effectively clean the protective mesh, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the compensation mechanism 3 includes a centrifugal fan 31, one end of the air duct 32 is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 31, and the other end is connected to the second chamber 212 of the installation mechanism 2. All the output air force of the centrifugal fan 31 enters the second chamber 212 through the air duct 32.
[0045] The display 41 of the flow metering mechanism 4 is connected to the temperature sensor body 23 and pressure sensor body 24 of the mounting mechanism 2 via the signal source line 411. The support frame 42 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the display 41. The support frame 42 and the housing 21 are detachably connected by bolts. The sealing sleeve 22 is fitted at the connection between the support frame 42 and the housing 21. The outlet screw plug 421 is set on the support frame 42. The display 41 and the centrifugal fan 31 of the compensation mechanism 3 are electrically connected via an external cable passing through the outlet screw plug 421.
[0046] When the flow metering mechanism 4 receives signals from the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24 through the signal source line 411 and identifies that the current flow rate is low, it indicates that the power generated by the fluid impact of the guide fluid 52 of the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the rotation speed of the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 and the flexible strip scraper 56. At this time, the flow metering mechanism 4 controls the centrifugal fan 31 to start. All the airflow generated by the centrifugal fan 31 is introduced into the second chamber 212 of the installation mechanism 2 through the air duct 32, impacting the wind turbine 26 and driving the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 to rotate. Then, through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 531 and the second bevel gear 551, the guide fluid 52 is pushed to rotate through the transverse rotating shaft 53, supplementing the power of the cleaning transmission mechanism 5, so that the flexible strip scraper 56 maintains a certain rotation speed. Through its own bending deformation, the bristles continuously and tightly scrape along the surface of the arc-shaped protective mesh 16, preventing impurities from being deposited more quickly due to the low flow rate, maintaining the clean state of the protective mesh 16 and the accurate detection of the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24.
[0047] Example 3: To achieve moisture protection for the sensor mounting cavity and solve the problem of sensor performance degradation or damage due to humid environments, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 21 of the mounting mechanism 2 is provided with a sealing sleeve 22. The housing 21 is divided into a first chamber 211, a second chamber 212 and a third chamber 213. The pressure sensor body 24 is installed in the first chamber 211 and the temperature sensor body 23 is installed in the third chamber 213. The detection ends at the bottom of the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24 pass through the first mounting hole 122 and the second mounting hole 123 of the upper pipe section 12 and extend into the protective mesh 16 on the side opposite to the mounting groove 121.
[0048] The first air vent 2121 is opened on both sides of the second chamber 212. The second chamber 212 is connected to the first chamber 211 and the third chamber 213 through the first air vent 2121. The hole opened on the back of the second chamber 212 is connected to the air duct 32 of the compensation mechanism 3. The wind turbine 26 is sleeved on the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 of the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 and located in the second chamber 212. The desiccant is filled in the first chamber 211 and the third chamber 213. The cover 25 is installed at the feeding end of the first chamber 211 and the third chamber 213. The second air vent 251 is opened on the cover 25.
[0049] When the fluid velocity is high enough, the longitudinal shaft 55 of the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 rotates at high speed under the hydrodynamic drive, driving the wind turbine 26 mounted on it to rotate synchronously, thereby drawing in dry external air through the air duct 32, thereby accelerating the air flow in the second chamber 212, and promoting the air flow with the first chamber 211 and the third chamber 213 through the first air hole 2121.
[0050] When the flow metering mechanism 4 receives signals from the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24 via the signal source line 411 and detects that the current flow rate is low, the flow metering mechanism 4 controls the centrifugal fan 31 to start. All the airflow generated is introduced into the second chamber 212 through the air duct 32, directly impacting the fan impeller 26 from the side to make it rotate, thereby maintaining airflow efficiency. At the same time, the desiccant in the first chamber 211 and the third chamber 213 adsorbs the water vapor released from the fluid, and the air discharged from the first vent 2121 carries away the water vapor. The second vent 251 of the cover 25 cooperates to exhaust the air, together keeping the chamber dry, protecting the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24 and preventing damage due to moisture.
[0051] When using this invention, the first step is to prepare for installation by checking the status of all necessary components, ensuring that the protective mesh 16 is undamaged, the bristles of the scraper 56 are intact and the desiccant is sufficient, and at the same time, prepare accessories and tools such as bolts and sealing sleeves 22.
[0052] The first journal 51 and the second journal 54 of the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 are fitted with the first sealed bearing 14 to ensure that the guide fluid 52 and the transverse rotating shaft 53 are stably positioned; then the second sealed bearing 17 is installed, and the protective mesh 16 is inserted into the mounting groove 121 of the upper pipe section 12 to ensure that the arc fits the inner wall.
[0053] Next, install the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 so that the second bevel gear 551 at the bottom of the longitudinal rotating shaft 55 meshes with the first bevel gear 531 of the transverse rotating shaft 53. The top passes through the second sealing bearing 17 and is rotatably connected to the installation mechanism 2. At the same time, fix the scraper 56 to ensure that it fits against the protective mesh 16. Finally, align the lower pipe section 11 with the upper pipe section 12, fix them with bolts and ensure that the sealing strip 15 is well sealed, and fix the first sealing bearing 14 through the clamping bracket 13.
[0054] The installation mechanism 2 requires fixing the housing 21 to the upper pipe section 12, allowing the detection ends of the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24 to pass through the first mounting hole 122 and the second mounting hole 123 respectively; after filling the first chamber 211 and the third chamber 213 with desiccant, the cover 25 with the second vent 251 is tightly closed.
[0055] The installation of the compensation mechanism 3 involves connecting one end of the air duct 32 to the centrifugal fan 31 and the other end to the second chamber 212 of the housing 21, ensuring a tight connection.
[0056] The installation of the flow metering mechanism 4 requires connecting the display 41 to the housing 21 via the support frame 42, and fitting the sealing sleeve 22 onto the connection point; connecting the display 41 to the temperature sensor body 23 and the pressure sensor body 24 with the signal source line 411, and connecting the display 41 to the centrifugal fan 31 through the outlet screw plug 421 with the external cable.
[0057] During debugging and inspection, manually rotate the guide fluid 52 to confirm that the rotation is smooth and the scraper 56 makes good contact; turn on the power and check whether the circuit connection and signal transmission of each component are normal through the display 41.
[0058] During the startup and operation phase, the fluid delivery system is activated, and the fluid impacts the guide fluid 52, driving the cleaning transmission mechanism 5 to operate. The scraper 56 cleans the protective mesh 16. The flow metering mechanism 4 measures and displays the flow rate in real time. When the flow rate is low, the centrifugal fan 31 is automatically started to supplement the power, while promoting ventilation and moisture prevention of the installation mechanism 2.
[0059] During operation, it is necessary to monitor whether the data on display 41 is stable, and regularly check the cleanliness of the protective mesh 16, the wear of the scraper 56, and the status of the desiccant.
[0060] After shutdown, turn off the fluid system and perform maintenance after the device has come to a complete stop: replace the failed desiccant, clean the residual impurities on the protective mesh 16, and replace the severely worn scraper 56.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
