Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metering devices, in particular to a liquid oxygen mass metering device. Background Art
[0002] Liquid oxygen mass metering device is a device used to measure the mass of liquid oxygen. In the production, storage and use of liquid oxygen, it is very important to accurately measure the mass of liquid oxygen, which helps to ensure safe and efficient operation.
[0003] When calculating the mass of liquid oxygen, weighing and cryogenic flowmeters are generally used to determine the delivery or usage of liquid argon. However, weighing cannot be used in all cases, because some equipment is large and weighing is inconvenient. At this time, a cryogenic flowmeter is needed. In the prior art, cryogenic flowmeters are generally provided with heat preservation and insulation structures to adapt to the ultra-low temperature of liquid oxygen. However, due to the low temperature, the flowmeter is still prone to frost in humid seasons. Once frosted, the flowmeter cannot be observed clearly and needs to be wiped frequently for each observation, which is very troublesome to use. Therefore, a liquid oxygen mass metering device is needed to improve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a liquid oxygen mass metering device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a liquid oxygen mass metering device, comprising a connecting pipe, a cryogenic flowmeter is arranged in the middle of the connecting pipe, a display is arranged at the upper end of the cryogenic flowmeter, an isolation mechanism is arranged on the outer surface of the cryogenic flowmeter, the isolation mechanism comprises an isolation cover, a fixing ring, and a sealing gasket, an isolation cover is arranged on the outer side of the cryogenic flowmeter, two isolation covers are arranged, and are symmetrically mounted on the outer surface of the cryogenic flowmeter in an upper and lower state, fixing rings are fixedly arranged on both sides of the isolation cover, and sealing gaskets are fixedly arranged on the outer surfaces of the isolation cover and the fixing ring.
[0006] Preferably, an isolation chamber is fixedly provided in the middle of the surface of the isolation cover at the upper end, and a visible glass window is fixedly provided on one side of the surface of the isolation chamber. The isolation chamber can be mounted on the outer surface of the display, and at this time, the visible glass window will not affect the user's observation of the specific values of the display.
[0007] Preferably, an exhaust pipe is fixedly provided on one side of the surface of the isolation chamber, and a sealing ball is movably engaged inside the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe can cooperate with the pump body to evacuate the isolation cover and the interior of the isolation chamber into a nearly vacuum state, thereby preventing water vapor from contacting the display. If you are worried about the water vapor inside the remaining air forming frost, you can place a desiccant bag inside the isolation cover before fixing the isolation cover to absorb the only water vapor inside the isolation cover.
[0008] Preferably, a spring is fixedly provided on one side of the sealing ball inside the exhaust pipe, and the sealing ball can be pushed by the spring to move toward the isolation chamber, that is, the low-pressure side when the interior of the isolation cover is in a vacuum state; thereby ensuring that the exhaust pipe is in a sealed state when used, so as to maintain an approximately vacuum state inside the isolation chamber and the isolation cover; so as to prevent water vapor from contacting the outer surfaces of the display and the cryogenic flow meter.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting flange is provided between the connecting pipe and the cryogenic flow meter, and the connecting pipe and the cryogenic flow meter can be conveniently connected together through the connecting flange.
[0010] Preferably, locking screws are fixedly arranged between the fixing rings, and the isolation mechanism can be conveniently fixed by the locking screws, and the isolation mechanism can also be quickly disassembled at any time as needed.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0012] 1. The low-temperature flow meter and the display part of the device of the utility model are set up by an isolation cover and an isolation chamber isolation cover, and then the isolation cover and the isolation chamber can be evacuated to a nearly vacuum state through the exhaust pipe in cooperation with the pump body, so that water vapor can be prevented from contacting the display. If you are worried about the frost of the water vapor inside the remaining air, you can place a desiccant bag inside the isolation cover before fixing the isolation cover to absorb the only water vapor inside the isolation cover. In this way, the device is provided with an isolation structure on the outside of the entire flow meter to isolate water vapor and prevent the flow meter from frosting; thereby greatly reducing the frequency of defrosting.
[0013] 2. In the present invention, since the cryogenic flow meter needs to be connected to the connecting pipe, and liquid oxygen is generally in a high-pressure state when stored and flowing, the cryogenic flow meter generally has certain structural strength requirements, and is generally made of metal materials. Metal materials have better cooling effects. Although the isolation cover of the present device also has pressure resistance requirements, it is only an air pressure. Therefore, metal materials do not need to be used, and insulating materials can be used to reduce cooling. In addition, since the isolation chamber and the isolation cover of the present device are in a nearly vacuum state, not only can water vapor and the display be prevented from contacting, but also heat transfer can be significantly reduced, so that the temperature at the position of the visible glass window is closer to room temperature and is not easy to frost; thereby, the cleaning frequency of the traditional liquid oxygen cryogenic flow meter can be further reduced.

The suction pipe 9 can cooperate with the pump body to evacuate the isolation cover 4 and the isolation chamber 7 into a nearly vacuum state, so that water vapor can be prevented from contacting the display 3. If you are worried about the frost of the water vapor inside the remaining air, you can place a desiccant bag inside the isolation cover 4 before fixing the isolation cover 4 to absorb the only water vapor inside the isolation cover 4;

[0023] A connecting flange 12 is provided between the connecting pipe 1 and the cryogenic flow meter 2, and the connecting pipe 1 and the cryogenic flow meter 2 can be conveniently connected together through the connecting flange 12;

[0025] Working principle: When using the device, the low-temperature flow meter 2 and the display 3 of the device are set up by the isolation cover 4 and the isolation chamber 7. Then, the isolation cover 4 and the isolation chamber 7 can be evacuated to a nearly vacuum state through the exhaust pipe 9 in cooperation with the pump body, so that water vapor can be prevented from contacting the display 3. If you are worried about the frost of the water vapor inside the remaining air, you can place a desiccant bag inside the isolation cover 4 before fixing the isolation cover 4 to absorb the only water vapor inside the isolation cover 4. In this way, the device is provided with an isolation structure on the outside of the entire flow meter to isolate water vapor and prevent the flow meter from frosting; thereby greatly reducing the frequency of defrosting;
[0026] At the same time, since the cryogenic flowmeter 2 needs to be connected to the connecting pipe 1, and liquid oxygen is generally in a high-pressure state when stored and flowing, the cryogenic flowmeter 2 generally has certain structural strength requirements, and is generally made of metal materials. Metal materials have better cooling effects. Although the isolation cover 4 of the present device also has pressure resistance requirements, it is only an air pressure. Therefore, metal materials do not need to be used, and insulating materials can be used to reduce cooling. In addition, since the isolation chamber 7 of the present device and the interior of the isolation cover 4 are in a nearly vacuum state, not only can water vapor and the display 3 be prevented from contacting, but also heat transfer can be significantly reduced, so that the temperature at the position of the visible glass window 8 is closer to room temperature and is not easy to frost; thereby, the cleaning frequency of the traditional liquid oxygen cryogenic flowmeter 2 can be further reduced.
