[0033] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system of the present invention can be used to detect flow meters for petroleum, organic liquids, inorganic liquids, liquefied gas, natural gas and cryogenic fluids, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system of the present invention.

[0034] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms. The terms "comprise", "include", and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In addition, the terms "first", "second" and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0037] For ease of description, spatial relative terms can be used in the text to describe the relationship of an element or feature as shown in the figure relative to another element or feature, and these relative terms are, for example, "upper", "lower", "end", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the mechanism in use or operation except the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the mechanism in the figure flips, the element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will be subsequently oriented to "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." can include the orientation on and below. The mechanism can be oriented in addition (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text are interpreted accordingly.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the present invention provides a multi-meter simultaneous inspection system, which includes a plurality of meter stations to be inspected (described in detail below) and a plurality of inspection lines with different flow detection ranges (described in detail below), the plurality of meter stations to be inspected are arranged in parallel with each other, the plurality of inspection lines are arranged in parallel with each other, the plurality of meter stations to be inspected and the plurality of inspection lines correspond one-to-one to the plurality of flow detection points of the meter to be inspected, each inspection line is provided with a standard flow detection device (described in detail below) and a flow control device 80, the flow control device 80 is used to control the flow detection range on the corresponding inspection line, the flow control device 80 can be a variable frequency fan or a float flow meter, through the variable frequency fan or the float flow meter In order to achieve the purpose of controlling the fluid flow on the detection line, the detection range of the standard flow detection device matches the flow detection range of the corresponding detection line, and each station of the meter to be inspected is connected or disconnected with multiple detection lines through the control valve module. When the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system is working, the controller of the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system selects the corresponding multiple detection lines according to the multiple flow detection points of the meter to be inspected and controls the corresponding flow control device 80 output to make the flow detection range on each detection line correspond to the multiple flow detection points of the meter to be inspected one by one, and then the control valve module is used to make each station to be inspected connected to each detection line alternately in turn, so that the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system can realize the simultaneous inspection of multiple meters to be inspected, and at the same time, the performance of multiple inspected flow points of each meter to be inspected can be inspected in turn.

[0039] In this embodiment, the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system of the present invention can not only achieve the purpose of simultaneously inspecting multiple meters to be inspected, but also achieve the purpose of detecting the performance of the meters to be inspected when they are at different flow detection points. At the same time, since multiple detection lines are arranged in parallel, the interference of multiple detection lines on the detection data of multiple stations of the meters to be inspected can be reduced. Specifically, the number of multiple stations of the meters to be inspected and the number of multiple detection lines are the same as the number of multiple flow detection points of the meters to be inspected, and the multiple stations of the meters to be inspected and the multiple detection lines correspond one-to-one to the multiple flow detection points of the meters to be inspected. During the operation of the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system, it can always be ensured that one detection line detects the meters to be inspected at one station of the meters to be inspected. The number of stations of the meters to be inspected and the number of detection lines are determined by the number of different flow detection points required by the meters to be inspected. Specifically, when the number of multiple flow detection points of the meters to be inspected is N, the number of stations of the meters to be inspected and the number of detection lines are both N, wherein, For example, when it is necessary to detect the performance of the meter under test at the lower limit flow rate Qmin and the upper limit flow rate Qmax, only two meter under test stations and two test lines are needed. The two standard flow detection devices on the two detection lines correspond to the lower limit flow Qmin and upper limit flow Qmax of the meter to be tested. When it is necessary to detect the performance of the meter to be tested at the lower limit flow Qmin, upper limit flow Qmax and 20% upper limit flow Qmax, only three meter stations to be tested and three detection lines are needed. At this time, The three standard flow detection devices on the three detection lines correspond to the lower limit flow Qmin, upper limit flow Qmax and 20% upper limit flow Qmax of the meter to be tested. When it is necessary to detect the performance of the meter to be tested at the lower limit flow Qmin, upper limit flow Qmax, 20% upper limit flow Qmax and 50% upper limit flow Qmax, only four meter stations to be tested and four detection lines are needed. At this time, , the four standard flow detection devices on the four detection lines correspond to the lower limit flow Qmin, upper limit flow Qmax, 20% upper limit flow Qmax and 50% upper limit flow Qmax of the meter to be tested. Furthermore, the effective calibration flow range of the standard flow detection device and each detection line covers the flow of most types and calibers of the meter to be tested at the flow detection point, thereby improving the applicability of the standard flow detection device and each detection line to different types of meters to be tested. The standard flow detection device can use a turbine flowmeter or a Roots flowmeter.

[0040] It should be noted that the inspection method of each inspection line for the meter to be inspected is to sequentially introduce airflow into the meter to be inspected and the standard flow detection device, and then compare the airflow flow detected by the meter to be inspected with the airflow flow detected by the standard flow detection device, and determine the performance of the meter to be inspected according to the difference between the airflow flow detected by the meter to be inspected and the airflow flow detected by the standard flow detection device, for example, whether the meter to be inspected is blocked or damaged. Specifically, the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system introduces airflow into the meter to be inspected through an air source, and the air source is respectively connected to multiple stations of the meter to be inspected and introduces gas to each station of the meter to be inspected, and the gas at each station of the meter to be inspected flows to a corresponding inspection line through a control valve module, and each control valve module includes multiple control valves, and the multiple control valves are respectively connected to multiple inspection lines one by one. Furthermore, each station for the meter to be inspected includes a reducing sleeve matching the caliber of the meter to be inspected and a first pressure transmitter 10 and a first temperature transmitter 30 arranged at both ends of the meter to be inspected. A second pressure transmitter 50 and a second temperature transmitter 70 are arranged at both ends of each standard flow detection device. The reducing sleeve can adapt to meters to be inspected of different calibers, thereby improving the applicability of the station for the meter to be inspected to different meters to be inspected. The first pressure transmitter 10 and the second temperature transmitter 30 arranged at both ends of the meter to be inspected can collect the temperature and pressure of the gas flowing to the meter to be inspected. The second pressure transmitter 50 and the second temperature transmitter 70 arranged at both ends of the standard flow detection device can collect the temperature and pressure of the gas flowing to the standard flow detection device, and perform necessary calculations on the collected data to correct the actual flow of the meter to be inspected and the standard flow detection device, thereby improving the consistency of the air temperature and pressure in the meter to be inspected and the air temperature and pressure in the standard flow detection device, and improving the detection accuracy of the detection line on the meter to be inspected.

[0041] Below The multi-meter simultaneous inspection system of an embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the performance of the multi-meter simultaneous inspection system detecting that the meter to be inspected is at the lower limit flow Qmin, the upper limit flow Qmax and 20% Qmax as an example.
