Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pump, in particular to a detection structure and detection method for cumulative flow of reciprocating pump. BACKGROUND

[0002] The reciprocating pump includes piston pump, metering pump and diaphragm pump, commonly known as reciprocating pump. It is a kind of positive displacement pump, and is widely used. The reciprocating pump is a conveying machine that directly provides energy to the liquid in the form of pressure energy through the reciprocating motion of the piston. The total output of the fluid medium of the reciprocating pump is usually realized by controlling the number of pumping cycles or the duration of operation, but in the actual test of the reciprocating pump, it is difficult to accurately measure the flow of the pump, and thus it is difficult to accurately measure and control the total output of the reciprocating pump. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a detection structure for measuring the cumulative flow of the reciprocating pump accurately and reliably.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0005] A detection structure for cumulative flow of reciprocating pump, comprising a lower sleeve located in the reciprocating pump and connected with the worm gear transmission in the reciprocating pump, a bearing coaxial with the lower sleeve is installed at the lower end of the inner hole of the lower sleeve, a bearing cover is arranged below the lower sleeve, the side of the bearing cover facing the lower sleeve is protruded along the center line direction of the lower sleeve to form a boss inserted into the inner hole of the bearing, the boss is installed in the inner hole of the bearing and connected with the lower sleeve through the bearing, one or more induction blocks are fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the lower sleeve, when the number of induction blocks is more than one, the plurality of induction blocks are uniformly and spacedly arranged around the center line direction of the lower sleeve, an inductive sensor is installed on the bearing cover corresponding to the position of the lower end surface of the lower sleeve, the inductive sensor can inductively detect the induction block, a counter module is arranged outside the bearing cover, and the inductive sensor is electrically connected with the counter module.

[0006] During the operation of the reciprocating pump, the lower sleeve is driven to rotate, and during the rotation of the lower sleeve, the inductive sensor can inductively detect the induction block every time the induction block passes through the inductive sensor, at this time the inductive sensor will generate a pulse signal accordingly, and the number of pulse signals is counted by the counter module, and then the cumulative flow is calculated.

[0007] As an optimization, the inductive sensor passes through the bearing cover along the direction parallel to the center line of the lower sleeve, and lock nuts are threadedly connected to the positions of the inductive sensor on the inner and outer sides of the bearing cover, respectively, and the two lock nuts are abutted on the bearing cover, respectively.

[0008] As the optimization, the inductive block is an inductive screw, a connecting screw hole is concavely arranged on the lower end face of the lower sleeve at a position corresponding to the inductive screw in a direction parallel to the center line of the lower sleeve, and the rod part of the inductive screw is threadedly connected in the connecting screw hole.

[0009] The application further discloses a detection method of cumulative flow of the reciprocating pump.

[0010] (1) determining a current stroke S of the reciprocating pump, and then obtaining an instantaneous flow value Q corresponding to the current stroke S according to a stroke-flow curve S After the pump is installed and debugged, a unit flow under the current stroke is obtained through on-site testing:

[0011]

[0012] Wherein Q 转 is the unit flow (L / h), Q S is the instantaneous flow (L / h) corresponding to the current stroke S, and n is a rated pump speed (r / min).

[0013] (2) obtaining the cumulative flow by measuring the pulse number of the lower sleeve during operation through the counter module and using the following formula:

[0014]

[0015] Wherein Q 累 is the cumulative flow (L), Q 惰 is the flow (L) output by the pump during the pump inertia period after the pump is connected to the stop signal, n' is the pulse number of the inductive sensor obtained by the counter module, and Z is the number of the inductive blocks. After the motor is powered off, the motor does not stop rotating immediately due to inertia, so the cumulative flow formula needs to be corrected by Q 惰 .

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the application obtains the running condition of the worm gear in the pump through the induction of the inductive blocks on the lower sleeve, and then obtains the cumulative flow of the pump through calculation, and the structure is simple and accurate and reliable in use.

[0020] As Figure 1As shown, the detection structure of the cumulative flow of the reciprocating pump in the embodiment comprises a lower sleeve 1 located in the reciprocating pump and connected with the worm gear in the reciprocating pump, a bearing 2 with the same center line as the lower sleeve 1 is installed at the lower end of the inner hole of the lower sleeve 1, a bearing cover 3 is arranged below the lower sleeve 1, a boss is protruded from the side of the bearing cover 3 towards the lower sleeve 1 along the center line direction of the lower sleeve 1 and is inserted into the inner hole of the bearing 2, the boss is installed in the inner hole of the bearing 2 and is connected with the lower sleeve 1 in rotation through the bearing 2, one or more induction blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the lower sleeve 1, when the number of the induction blocks 4 is more than one, the plurality of induction blocks 4 are uniformly and interval arranged around the center line direction of the lower sleeve 1, an inductive sensor 5 is installed on the bearing cover 3 corresponding to the position of the lower end surface of the lower sleeve 1, the inductive sensor 5 can inductively detect the induction blocks 4, a counter module is arranged outside the bearing cover 3, and the inductive sensor 5 is electrically connected with the counter module.

[0021] The inductive sensor 5 in the embodiment passes through the bearing cover 3 along the center line direction of the lower sleeve 1, lock nuts are threadedly connected to the positions of the inductive sensor 5 on the inner and outer sides of the bearing cover 3 respectively, and the two lock nuts are respectively abutted against the bearing cover 3.

[0022] The induction block 4 in the embodiment is an induction screw, and a connecting screw hole is recessed on the lower end surface of the lower sleeve 1 corresponding to the position of the induction screw along the center line direction of the lower sleeve 1, and the rod part of the induction screw is threadedly connected in the connecting screw hole.

[0023] A detection method of the cumulative flow of a reciprocating pump, which utilizes the detection structure of the cumulative flow of the reciprocating pump to detect the cumulative flow, comprises the following steps:

[0024] (1) determining the current stroke S of the reciprocating pump, and then obtaining the instantaneous flow value Q corresponding to the current stroke S according to the stroke-flow curve S , calculating the unit flow under the current stroke:

[0025]

[0026] Wherein Q 转 is the unit flow (L / h), Q S is the instantaneous flow (L / h) corresponding to the current stroke S, and n is the rated pump speed (r / min);

[0027] (2) measuring the pulse number of the lower sleeve during operation through the counter module, and calculating the cumulative flow by using the following formula:

[0028]

[0029] Wherein Q 累L is the cumulative flow (L), Q 惰 L is the flow (L) outputted by the pump in the pump idling period after the pump is connected to the stop signal, n' is the number of pulses sent by the inductive sensor obtained by the counter module, and Z is the number of inductive blocks.

[0030] The reciprocating pump is installed on the pipeline. When 30 L of clean water needs to be transported to the next process through the reciprocating pump, the water is turned off after the flow quota is reached. Through the monitoring instrument, it can be seen that the stroke-flow curve of the current reciprocating pump corresponds to the instantaneous flow value Q S 120 L / h, and the rated speed of the reciprocating pump is 200 r / min, and four inductive blocks are installed thereon. According to the test, the flow Q outputted by the pump in the pump idling period under the stroke is 1 L. 惰

[0031]

[0032]

[0033] Therefore, when it is detected that the number of pulses measured by the counter module when the lower sleeve is running reaches 11,600 times, the cumulative output flow of the reciprocating pump also reaches 30 L, and therefore the reciprocating pump can be turned off. Similarly, after that, only the number of detected pulses is needed to obtain the corresponding cumulative flow of the reciprocating pump.

[0034] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting.
