Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of applying such a continuous wave, at least two ultrasonic probes for transmission and four ultrasonic probes for reception are required in total, so the number of parts increases, the size of the device tends to increase, and the cost In addition, there is a problem that power consumption increases due to continuous transmission and reception

Abstract

The present invention provides a small, low power consumption ultrasonic flow velocity meter. The burst signal generation section 110 generates two kinds of burst signals with a phase difference and sends these burst signals to a pair of transmission / reception ultrasonic transducers 6 and 7 located on the upstream side and downstream side of the conduit to be measured 9. Upon reception of the corresponding burst signals, the pair of the transmission / reception ultrasonic transducers 6 and 7 convert the burst signals, send ultrasonic waves with a phase difference to the conduit to be measured 9, receive the ultrasonic wave sent by the other transmission / reception ultrasonic transducer and propagated through the conduit to be measured and convert the ultrasonic waves to received signals. These received signals are binarized through the binarization circuits 16 and 17, exclusive-ORed by the exclusive-OR circuit 30 and converted to a phase difference signal indicating a phase difference and the flow velocity of the conduit to be measured 9 is measured based on this phase difference signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic flow meter for measuring fluid flow velocity based on a difference in propagation time of ultrasonic waves. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as an ultrasonic flowmeter using such an ultrasonic flowmeter, for example, an ultrasonic flowmeter of a propagation time difference method is known. In this type of flow meter, the ultrasonic probes are respectively arranged on the upstream side and the downstream side of the fluid to be measured, and a pulse signal or a step signal is used as a transmission signal, and the two ultrasonic probes on the upstream side and the downstream side alternately Ultrasonic waves are sent out, and the propagation time difference of the received signal is measured by a high-speed counter circuit. [0003] However, in such an ultrasonic flowmeter of the propagation time difference method, in order to accurately obtain the propagation time difference, the signal-to-no...
