Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1, by Figure 6 The present invention comprises an IoT smart diaphragm gas meter 1, a cylindrical air guide 2 installed on the left and right inlet and outlet ports at the top of the IoT smart diaphragm gas meter 1, an upper air guide cover 3 bolted to the upper opening of the cylindrical air guide 2, and a T-shaped hollow shaft housing 4 integrally formed on one side of the back of the cylindrical air guide 2. A T-shaped flange 5 is fixed to one end of the T-shaped hollow shaft housing 4 away from the cylindrical air guide 2, and a micro generator 7 is installed on one outer wall of the T-shaped flange 5. The input shaft of the micro generator 7 extends into the interior of the T-shaped hollow shaft housing 4 and is equipped with a bevel gear reversing transmission structure 12. A U-shaped double-layer shaft frame 9 is fixed at one end inside the cylindrical air guide tube 2, and a pair of turbine shafts 10 is installed at the center of the U-shaped double-layer shaft frame 9. An off-axis gear speed-increasing transmission structure 11 is installed on the right side of the cylindrical air guide tube 2 to enable the bevel gear reversing transmission structure 12 and the pair of turbine shafts 10 to connect power. A protective cover 6 is fixed between the two T-shaped flanges 5, and a power module 8 that is electrically connected to the output end of the micro generator 7 is installed on the back of the protective cover 6. The output end of the power module 8 is electrically connected to the input end of the IoT smart diaphragm gas meter 1.
[0030] The power module 8 is composed of a rectifier unit, an energy storage unit, a voltage regulation unit and a protection circuit. Since the micro generator 7 usually outputs an alternating current signal, and the internal electronic equipment of the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1 needs a stable direct current power supply, the rectifier circuit adopts a bridge rectifier or synchronous rectification technology to ensure high power conversion efficiency and low loss. The direct current after rectification is filtered to remove voltage fluctuations and provide stable input for subsequent voltage regulation.
[0031] The energy storage unit is usually composed of a lithium battery, which is used to store the rectified power and buffer the unstable output of the micro generator 7 and the power changes caused by gas flow fluctuations. The voltage regulation unit is responsible for adjusting the voltage output by the energy storage unit to the stable voltage range required by the electronic equipment of the gas meter. This unit can use a low-dropout linear regulator to ensure constant output voltage and avoid abnormal operation of sensors, microprocessors or communication modules inside the meter body due to voltage fluctuations. The protection circuit prevents circuit damage caused by external environmental changes or internal faults, improving the reliability and service life of the gas meter.
[0032] In terms of connection, the output end of the micro generator 7 is connected to the input end of the rectifier unit of the power module 8 through a wire, ensuring smooth input of alternating current power into the energy storage unit. The output end of the energy storage unit is connected to various electronic components of the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1, such as sensors, microprocessors and communication modules, through a stable direct current power line, ensuring that the meter body receives continuous and stable power support.
[0033] The lower end of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 is fixed with a anti-dropping ring 203, and the inside of the anti-dropping ring 203 is rotatably installed with an internal threaded sleeve 204. The lower end of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 is fixed with the anti-dropping ring 203, so that the anti-dropping ring 203 rotatably installs an internal threaded sleeve 204. At this time, the internal threaded sleeve 204 can be screwed with the inlet and outlet ports of the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1, so that the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2, the upper air guide cover 3 and the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1 can be quickly assembled.
[0034] The upper end surface of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 and the lower end surface of the upper air guide cover 3 are combined with a diaphragm 301. Since the end surfaces of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 and the upper air guide cover 3 are combined with the diaphragm 301, the connection and sealing performance of the end surfaces of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 and the upper air guide cover 3 can be improved by the diaphragm 301.
[0035] The upper and lower positions inside the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 are respectively provided with a middle cavity 202 and a lower cavity 201. The U-shaped double-layer shaft support 9 is installed in the middle cavity 202. The inside of the upper air guide cover 3 is provided with an upper cavity 302.
[0036] In example two, based on example one, Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The turbine shaft 10 comprises a middle shaft 1001 rotatably installed at the inner center position of the U-shaped double-layer shaft support 9, and an upper turbine blade 1002 and a lower turbine blade 1003 fixedly installed at the upper end and the lower end of the middle shaft 1001 respectively. The upper turbine blade 1002 is located in the upper chamber 302, and the lower turbine blade 1003 is located in the lower chamber 201. The middle shaft 1001 is coaxially rotatably installed with the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 and the upper air guide cover 3 through the laminated shaft rotating support 13. At this time, the upper turbine blade 1002 is located in the upper chamber 302 of the upper air guide cover 3, and the middle shaft 1001 is located in the lower chamber 201 of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2. The upper turbine blade 1002 and the lower turbine blade 1003 at both ends of the middle shaft 1001 can accept the fluid kinetic energy generated in the inlet and outlet process of the Internet of Things smart membrane gas meter 1, enhance the stability and efficiency of power acquisition, and provide stable power for subsequent gear transmission and power generation.
[0037] The off-axis gear speed increasing transmission structure 11 comprises a speed increasing gear shaft 1101 installed on the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped double-layer shaft support 9 through a bearing seat, and a plurality of connecting arms 1103 fixed on the outer wall of the middle shaft 1001 in a radial and equidistant manner. A gear ring 1102 is fixed to one end of the surface of the middle shaft 1001 through a plurality of connecting arms 1103. The gear ring 1102 and the speed increasing gear shaft 1101 are in meshing relationship with each other. The top end of the U-shaped double-layer shaft support 9 is fixedly connected with a hollow conical table 901. The lower end of the lower turbine blade 1003 is rotatably installed with a pulley 1104. The pulley 1104 and the hollow conical table 901 are in contact with each other.
[0038] After the middle shaft 1001 obtains fluid power and is driven to rotate, the middle shaft 1001 drives the gear ring 1102 to rotate through the connecting arms 1103. In turn, the gear ring 1102 drives the speed increasing gear shaft 1101 on the right side wall of the U-shaped double-layer shaft support 9 to rotate, so as to effectively increase the low speed of the middle shaft 1001 to the high speed range required by the micro generator 7. Through the precise meshing of the gears, the speed increasing transmission structure ensures the stable increase of the rotating speed, and provides protection for the efficient operation of the subsequent generator.
[0039] The bevel gear reversing transmission structure 12 includes a support disc 1201 fixed on one side inside the T-shaped hollow shaft housing 4, a driven bevel gear shaft 1202 rotatably installed inside the support disc 1201, and a driving bevel gear 1203 fixed on the lower end of the speed-increasing gear shaft 1101. The driving bevel gear 1203 and the driven bevel gear shaft 1202 are in mesh with each other. The end of the driven bevel gear shaft 1202 away from the driving bevel gear 1203 penetrates to the outside of the support disc 1201 and is fixedly connected with the input shaft of the micro generator 7. The lower end of the speed-increasing gear shaft 1101 enters the lower chamber 201, and then the lower end of the speed-increasing gear shaft 1101 drives the driven bevel gear shaft 1202 to rotate through the driving bevel gear 1203, so that the input shaft of the micro generator 7 can rotate. The bevel gear reversing transmission structure 12 solves the problem of rotation direction caused by the change of gas flow direction, ensures that the micro generator 7 always rotates in a unified direction, and avoids the problems of unstable power generation or damage caused by rotation direction change.
[0040] In example three, on the basis of example two, by It is given that the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2 inside the upper tooth ring 1102 is installed with a laminated shaft rotation support 13. The laminated shaft rotation support 13 includes a lower circular platform 1302 fixed at the stepped position at the top end of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2, a cross 1303 bolted and installed at the top end of the lower circular platform 1302, and an upper circular platform 1301 bolted and installed at the upper end of the cross 1303. The top end of the middle shaft 1001 penetrates to the outside of the lower circular platform 1302, the cross 1303, and the upper circular platform 1301 in sequence;
[0041] The upper circular platform 1301 is arranged inside the upper chamber 302 below the upper turbine blade 1002 and is bolted with the cross 1303, while the lower circular platform 1302 is fixed at the stepped position of the opening at the top end of the cylindrical air guide cylinder 2. The cross 1303 is fixed between the upper circular platform 1301 and the lower circular platform 1302. At this time, the middle shaft 1001 is coaxial with the cross 1303. Through the laminated shaft rotation support 13, the opposed turbine shaft 10 can be kept accurately positioned in long-time high-speed rotation. The bearings inside the cross 1303 at the upper and lower positions are used to disperse mechanical stress, reduce wear and vibration, and prolong the working life of the opposed turbine shaft 10.
[0042] In use, the embodiment of the application first, when the gas enters the gas inlet end and the gas outlet end of the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1, must pass through the cylindrical gas guide cylinder 2 and the upper gas guide cover 3, both of which not only play a role in guiding the flow of gas, but also bear the role of the pair of turbine shaft 10, the off-axis gear speed increasing transmission structure 11 and the bevel gear reversing transmission structure 12. In this process, the cylindrical gas guide cylinder 2 is designed reasonably, which can effectively guide the flow of gas, so that the kinetic energy of the gas is concentrated and transmitted to the turbine shaft. The upper gas guide cover 3 and the laminated shaft rotating support 13 provide protection and support for the pair of turbine shaft 10, ensuring that it remains stable when rotating at high speed. Taking the cylindrical gas guide cylinder 2 and the upper gas guide cover 3 on the right side of the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1 as an example, the gas passes through the upper gas guide cover 3 and the cylindrical gas guide cylinder 2 into the meter body, the gas flow impacts the blades of the pair of turbine shaft 10, and forces the pair of turbine shaft 10 to rotate. The laminated shaft rotating support 13 not only ensures low friction rotation, but also bears axial and radial loads, ensuring the stable operation of the pair of turbine shaft 10 under the pulsation of the gas flow. The rotary power of the pair of turbine shaft 10 is transmitted to the off-axis gear speed increasing transmission structure 11, which gradually amplifies the low-speed rotation of the pair of turbine shaft 10 to high-speed rotation. The power after speed increasing is input to the bevel gear reversing transmission structure 12, which changes the direction of power transmission and connects the input shaft of the micro generator 7. After receiving high-speed mechanical energy, the rotor of the micro generator 7 cuts the stator magnetic field to generate three-phase alternating current. This current is input to the power supply module 8, which is converted into direct current and supplied to the Internet of Things smart diaphragm gas meter 1 for use, to meet the needs of the internal electronic equipment of the gas meter.
