Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flow meters, in particular to a glass rotor flow meter which can be cleaned in place. Background Art

[0002] In industrial production, flow measurement is of vital importance. Chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, water treatment and other industries all rely on accurate flow control. Glass rotor flowmeters are widely used in small and medium flow measurement due to their intuitive readings, simple structure and good accuracy. In the chemical industry, they can ensure the accurate flow of chemical reagents. Glass material has good chemical stability. The pharmaceutical industry has high requirements for hygiene and precision. Glass rotor flowmeters are transparent and easy to observe and clean and disinfect. In the food processing industry, they can ensure accurate measurement of liquid raw material flow under the premise of hygiene. In the water treatment industry, they can ensure the measurement of water or pharmaceutical flow in each link.

[0003] Among them, the "A Glass Rotor Flowmeter that can be cleaned in place" disclosed in the publication number "CN214096191U" has solved the problem that due to the large axial size of the flowmeter, it is impossible to reach into the interior for thorough cleaning, and the cleaning quality is low, so the traditional glass rotor flowmeter has low cleaning efficiency, poor cleaning quality, and easy breakage after cleaning.

[0004] However, there are still many defects in the actual use of rotor flowmeters with similar structures. For example, when the device has a water leakage problem, it is extremely inconvenient to deal with. Due to the lack of an effective emergency treatment mechanism, once the internal water leaks and overflows, it often leads to more water leakage and waste. This not only affects the normal work process, but also makes the surrounding environment humid and causes damage to other equipment. This leakage problem seriously reduces the stability of the device. In actual production or other application scenarios, if such problems frequently occur in the device, it may cause the operation of the entire system to be interrupted, increasing maintenance costs and time. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a glass rotor flowmeter that can be cleaned in place to solve these practical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a glass rotor flowmeter that can be cleaned in place to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a glass rotor flowmeter capable of being cleaned in place, comprising:

[0007] A box used for emergency treatment of water leakage inside the device;

[0008] A backwash mechanism for cleaning the device;

[0009] An inner tube for transferring liquid flow;

[0010] The box body includes a protective box, the inner wall of which is adhered to a rubber bag with waterproof glue, the inside of which is filled with water-absorbing resin particles, and the surface of the rubber bag is provided with mounting grooves at equal intervals, and a mesh plate is fixedly installed inside the mounting grooves;

[0011] The backwash mechanism comprises a water inlet pipe, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a one-way valve pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the other end of the water inlet pipe is connected to one side of the inner pipe, a water outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the other side of the inner pipe, and a manual valve pipe is fixedly installed on one end of the water outlet pipe.

[0013] Preferably, a slot is provided on the front of the box, and explosion-proof glass is embedded in the slot.

[0014] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly installed inside the inner tube, and a rotor body is movably installed outside the limiting rod.

[0015] Preferably, an elastic member is sleeved and installed on the outer side of the top end of the limiting rod, and the top of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the top of the inner tube.

[0016] Preferably, a first valve tube is fixedly installed on the top of the box body, and a second valve tube is fixedly installed on the bottom of the box body.

[0017] The utility model provides a glass rotor flowmeter that can be cleaned in place. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. When liquid leaks inside the device, the leaked water will enter the rubber bag through the installation groove. The rubber bag has good physical properties, including flexibility and sealing, and can accommodate a certain amount of liquid. The rubber bag is filled with water-absorbing resin particles, which have excellent water absorption. When water enters the rubber bag, the water-absorbing resin particles begin to absorb water. As the water is absorbed, the volume of the water-absorbing resin particles gradually increases. Since a large number of water-absorbing resin particles absorb water and expand at the same time, the pressure inside the rubber bag gradually increases, causing the overall volume of the rubber bag to expand. The expanded rubber bag will fit tightly against the outside of the inner tube, thereby forming an effective seal. This sealing structure can effectively prevent the leaked water from continuing to flow out, and realize emergency treatment of the leaked water. Through this design, the problem of additional water leakage caused by water leakage and overflow inside the device is avoided, and the waste of water resources is reduced. At the same time, this mechanism significantly enhances the stability of the device during operation. In actual application scenarios, whether it is an industrial production process or other environment that requires continuous operation of the device, this stability is crucial. This design enables the device to operate normally even without supervision, reducing the possibility of failure or damage to the surrounding environment due to liquid leakage, and effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0019] 2. After the operator closes the first valve pipe and the second valve pipe and then connects the water inlet pipe to the external equipment, the descaling liquid containing acetic acid or other agents can be transported to the inner tube, and react with the scale adsorbed on the inner tube, the rotor body, and the outer side of the limit rod, thereby removing the scale inside the device. The operator then opens the manual valve pipe to discharge the liquid containing scale, and discharges the liquid containing scale to the external storage device through the water outlet pipe, thereby realizing the function of in-situ cleaning of the device, avoiding the need to frequently disassemble the device for cleaning the inside of the device, reducing the workload of the operator, and increasing the convenience of using the device.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , this utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0027] The first embodiment: a glass rotor flowmeter capable of being cleaned in place, comprising:

[0028] A box 1 for emergency treatment of water leakage inside the device;

[0029] A backwash mechanism 2 for cleaning the device;

[0030] An inner tube 4 for transferring liquid flow;

[0031] The box body 1 includes a protective box 101, the inner wall of which is adhered to a rubber bag 102 with waterproof glue. The rubber bag 102 is filled with water-absorbing resin particles 103. The surface of the rubber bag 102 is provided with mounting grooves at equal intervals, and a mesh plate 104 is fixedly installed inside the mounting grooves.

[0032] The backwash mechanism 2 includes a water inlet pipe 201, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a one-way valve pipe 202. A slot is provided on the front of the housing 1, and an explosion-proof glass 3 is embedded in the slot. A limit rod 401 is fixedly mounted inside the inner tube 4, and a rotor body 402 is movably mounted on the outer side of the limit rod 401.

[0033] An elastic member 5 is sleeved on the outer side of the top of the limiting rod 401, and the top of the elastic member 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner tube 4. The first valve tube 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 1, and the second valve tube 601 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the box body 1.

[0034] The slots provide an installation location for the explosion-proof glass 3. The explosion-proof glass 3 allows the operator to easily understand the movement position of the rotor body 402, thereby understanding the flow rate of the water source inside the inner tube 4. The limit rod 401 can be used to limit the movement position of the rotor body 402. By understanding the vertical movement position of the rotor body 402, the operator can understand the real-time flow rate of the water source inside the device.

[0035] After the first valve tube 6 is connected to an external device, liquid can be easily transported to the external device. The operator can manually rotate the first valve tube 6 to intercept the liquid transported inside the first valve tube 6. After the second valve tube 601 is connected to the external device, liquid can be easily transported to the inside of the device for monitoring. The high deformation force of the elastic member 5 can easily elastically resist the movement and impact of the rotor body 402, thereby preventing the rotor body 402 from hitting the top of the inner tube 4 and causing damage to the inner tube 4.

[0036] When liquid leakage occurs inside the device, water can enter the rubber bag 102 through the installation groove, and then absorb water through the water-absorbing resin particles 103 to expand in volume. The expanded water-absorbing resin particles 103 can cause the rubber bag 102 to expand in volume, thereby fitting to the outside of the inner tube 4, thereby realizing the function of emergency treatment of the leaked water source.

[0037] The second embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in that the other end of the water inlet pipe 201 is connected to one side of the inner pipe 4, the other side of the inner pipe 4 is fixedly installed with a water outlet pipe 203, and one end of the water outlet pipe 203 is fixedly installed with a manual valve pipe 204.

[0038] After the operator closes the first valve tube 6 and the second valve tube 601 and then connects the water inlet pipe 201 to the external equipment, the liquid containing acetic acid and other descaling agents can be transported to the inner tube 4, and react with the scale adsorbed on the outside of the inner tube 4, the rotor body 402, and the limit rod 401, thereby removing the scale inside the device. The operator then opens the manual valve tube 204 to discharge the liquid containing scale, and discharges the liquid containing scale to the external storage device through the water outlet pipe 203, thereby realizing the function of in-situ cleaning of the device.

[0039] At the same time, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited, and conventional equipment can be used.
