Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flow monitoring, in particular to a novel high-precision metal tube float flowmeter with high reliability. Background Art
[0002] The float of the metal tube float flowmeter is in the measuring tube. As the flow rate changes, the float moves upward. At a certain position, the buoyancy of the float is balanced with the weight of the float. At this time, the flow annular gap area between the float and the orifice plate (or cone tube) remains constant. The annular gap area is proportional to the rising height of the float, that is, the rising position of the float in the measuring tube represents the size of the flow rate. The changing position of the float is transmitted to the external indicator by the internal magnet, so that the indicator correctly indicates the flow value at this time.

The two connecting rods 7 are movably connected to the inside of the cylinder 8 on the same side. The lower ends of the two connecting rods 7 and the inner bottom of the cylinder 8 on the same side are fixedly connected with an electrode block 9. A round cover 10 is fixedly inserted at the upper end of the T-shaped fixing rod 4, and an electromagnet 11 is fixedly arranged inside the round cover 10. The two electrode blocks 9 on the upper side are electrically connected to the electromagnet 11, and the two electrode blocks 9 on the lower side are electrically connected to the flowmeter body 1. A round iron block 12 is fixedly embedded at the lower end of the float 2.
[0025] The outer tube wall of the measuring tube 3 is fixedly connected with a mounting flange 13 at the feed end and the discharge end. A filter screen 14 is fixedly provided inside the mounting flange 13 located at the feed end of the measuring tube 3. Mounting bolts 15 are threadedly connected in the mounting holes of the two mounting flanges 13. The two mounting flanges 13 and the mounting bolts 15 facilitate the installation and fixation of the measuring tube 3. The filter screen 14 can filter the impurities entering and reduce the influence of the impurities on the float.
[0026] The vertical rod wall of the T-shaped sliding rod 6 is slidably connected with a connecting block 16, which is fixed inside the T-shaped fixed rod 4. A reset spring 17 is fixed between the upper end of the piston pad 5 and the lower end of the connecting block 16. The reset spring 17 is movably sleeved with the rod wall of the T-shaped sliding rod 6. Through the connection block 16 and the reset spring 17, the two connecting rods 7 can automatically move down and reset after the medium stops flowing, ensuring that the electrode blocks 9 are stably connected.

The overall strength of the measuring tube 3 can be improved by using a plurality of reinforcing blocks 26 and a plurality of triangular reinforcing plates 27.
[0031] In summary, the new type of high-precision metal tube float flowmeter with high reliability is used by installing the measuring tube 3 on the pipeline to be measured. When the medium enters the measuring tube 3, the medium impacts the piston pad 5, which can make the piston pad 5 move up, so as to drive the T-shaped sliding rod 6 to move up, so that the two electrode blocks 9 on the upper side can be driven to move up through the two connecting rods 7, so that the two electrode blocks 9 on the same side are separated, so that the electromagnet 11 can be powered off, and the magnetic attraction disappears. At this time, the medium flows, and the flow rate can be measured through the float 2. When the medium measurement is completed, the medium stops flowing. At this time, the T-shaped sliding rod 6 and the piston pad 5 move down, so that the two electrode blocks 9 on the same side can be contacted again, so that the electromagnet 11 is powered on, so that a magnetic attraction can be generated, so that the round iron block 12 can be used to absorb the float 2 to move down and reset, and the float 2 is returned to its original position. It is reliable to use and greatly reduces the possibility that the float 2 cannot fall normally.
