Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filters and ultrasonic heat meters, in particular to a spigot-type heat-resistant polyethylene filter and an ultrasonic heat meter base-meter integrated pipe section. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic heat meters are used to measure and display the heat energy released or absorbed by water flowing through a heat exchange system. After calculation and processing, they display the heat released by the measured fluid from the water inlet to the return water outlet.
[0003] Existing heat meter bases are made of copper, stainless steel, or other metal materials. This makes scale buildup easily on the inner walls of the base meter tubes during hot water transmission, especially in areas with hard water. Hard water contains large amounts of metal ions, such as calcium and magnesium. These ions combine with carbonate ions in the water to form insoluble compounds such as calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, which adhere to the inner walls of the copper tubes, forming scale. Scale formation not only affects the transmission of heat meter signals and, consequently, measurement accuracy, but also reduces water flow and thermal conductivity, and can easily cause corrosion on the inner walls of the copper tubes, leading to leaks and other problems.
[0004] When a filter is connected to the existing ultrasonic heat meter base, the sealing reliability of the connection between the two is insufficient, which easily leads to leakage of the medium inside the pipe section. Utility Model Content
[0005] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides an integrated pipe section of a spigot-type heat-resistant polyethylene filter and an ultrasonic heat meter base, so as to solve the problem in the above-mentioned technology that when the filter is connected to the existing ultrasonic heat meter base, the sealing reliability of the connection between the two is insufficient, which easily leads to leakage of the medium inside the pipe section.

[0009] Optionally, the flow direction of the medium inside the filter housing and the flow direction of the medium inside the shell are arranged at an angle of 45°.
[0010] Optionally, an annular limiting steel ring is provided at a position of the outer wall of the filter housing corresponding to the annular filter insert, and the limiting steel ring is fixed to the outer wall of the filter housing.
[0011] Optionally, a first O-ring is provided between the outer side of the annular filter insert and the filter housing.

[0033] The shell of the ultrasonic heat meter base is made of heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant material. In this embodiment, heat-resistant polyethylene is used. The filter housing 51 of the filter 5 is also made of heat-resistant polyethylene. The housing 1 and the filter housing 51 are integrally provided, and the filter housing 51 is fixed at an angle to the bottom of the housing 1 so that the flow direction of the medium in the filter housing 51 is 45° (or 135°) to the flow direction of the medium in the housing 1. A filter screen 52 is provided inside the filter housing 51 to filter dirt and impurities in the medium. The filter screen 52 is a cylindrical structure. Since the filter housing 51 and the filter housing 51 are fixed at an angle to the bottom of the housing 1, the filter screen 52 is provided at an angle to the bottom of the housing 1. The shells 1 are arranged at 45 degrees, and the top part of the filter 52 extends into the interior of the shell 1. A fixing seat 55 is provided at the top of the shell.

The inner side wall of the annular filter insert 53 has an internal thread structure, and a matching external thread structure is provided on the outer side wall of the plug 54, so that the plug 54 can be threadedly connected to the annular filter insert 53.
[0035] At the same time, in order to improve the strength of the filter housing 51, a limiting steel ring 6 is set at the position corresponding to the outer wall of the filter housing 51 and the annular filter insert 53. The limiting steel ring 6 is fixed on the filter housing 51 to prevent the filter housing 51 from being deformed at the connection between the plug 54 and the annular filter insert 53.

The reflective column 4 is arranged inside the housing 1 and corresponds to the position of the first positioning hole 2. Taking the position of the first positioning hole 2 as the top of the housing 1 as an example, the reflective column 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 1;

The connecting ribs 92 are distributed in a circumferential array between the annular pipes 91 and are spaced apart between adjacent connecting ribs 92. Connecting ports 93 are formed in the gaps. During the process of integrally forming the housing 1 and the metal insert 9, the housing 1 can be integrally formed inside and outside the connecting ports 93.
[0049] At the same time, in order to further improve the tightness of the connection, a stepped notch 94 is provided at the end of the annular pipe 91 .
[0050] A stepped notch 94 is provided at the outer ends of the two annular pipes 91. During the integral molding process with the housing 1, a staggered tooth-like structure is formed between the housing 1 and the annular pipes 91, thereby increasing the tightness and stability of the connection.
