Description

Technical Field

Industrial development has accelerated the construction of industrial parks in my country, making the need for rainwater and sewage separation and the monitoring and management of sewage pipe networks in these parks both urgent and complex. Therefore, accurate and timely monitoring of urban pipe networks, surface runoff levels, and flow rates is crucial for overall flood control and drainage planning and emergency management, as well as for the comprehensive balance and effective utilization of urban park water systems.

The most widely used principle for river and canal network flow and level monitoring is Doppler ultrasonic sensing. This type of device does not require contact with the fluid and is unaffected by parameters such as temperature, viscosity, and density.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for continuous detection of surface fluid level and velocity, which specifically includes the following steps: S1) First, assemble the test equipment and place it in the fluid on the surface of the liquid to be measured. S2) The liquid level and water depth data of the fluid on the surface of the liquid to be measured are obtained by adjusting the testing equipment.

S3) Real-time acquisition of liquid level and water depth data of the fluid on the surface to be measured, as well as tensile force data, and calculation of liquid level, flow velocity and flow rate parameters of the fluid on the surface to be measured through the model.

[0022] The specific steps in S3.1 are as follows: S3.1) Based on the collected tension F 拉 Impact force F 冲 And the forces acting in the vertical direction, the gravity G acting on the flow velocity collector, and the buoyancy F of the flow velocity collector. 浮 Substitute the values ​​into the following formula to calculate the flow velocity at the fluid measuring point.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a testing apparatus for implementing the above-described testing method includes a measurement unit, a data acquisition and transmission unit, and a data processing and display unit. The measuring unit is used to measure the upper surface of the fluid on the surface of the liquid being measured and to receive the real-time impact force of the fluid on the surface of the liquid. The data acquisition and transmission unit is used to acquire measurement data from the measurement unit in real time and upload the acquired data. The data processing and display unit is used to analyze and process the received real-time data to obtain the velocity and flow rate of the fluid on the liquid surface to be measured.

[0025] The measuring unit includes: a fixed slide bar, a tube positioning pin, a liquid level self-control float, a flow rate collector, and a fluid density adjustment counterweight ball; The fixed slide rod is vertically arranged, and the tube core positioning pin is horizontally movably arranged on the fixed slide rod; The liquid level self-control float is movably mounted on the fixed slide bar and is located at the lower end of the tube core positioning pin.

[0026] The flow rate collector includes a flared section and a cylindrical section; The open end of the flared section is the water inlet, and the narrowed end is connected to the cylindrical section.

[0027] The length of the flared section is greater than or equal to the length of the cylindrical section; Furthermore, the diameter of the cylindrical section is less than 1 / 2 the diameter of the flared section.

[0028] The data acquisition and transmission unit includes a data transmission device, a flow rate sensor, and a tension sensor; The flow rate sensor is located inside the cylindrical section, and the tension sensor is located at the connection between the connecting rope and the fluid density adjustment counterweight ball. The data transmitting device is connected to the flow rate sensor and the tension sensor respectively.

[0029] The data processing and display unit is a host computer, which is connected to the data sending device.

[0030] The self-regulating float is a closed hollow polyvinyl chloride sphere with a diameter of 200 mm and a pore size of 22 mm. The fluid density adjusting counterweight ball is a hollow sphere with a 100 mm diameter polyvinyl chloride sealing port and a 22 mm aperture, and the sealing port can be opened to fill counterweight sand.

[0031] The working principle of this invention: This device uses the principle of flow velocity impact stress sensing and model calculation and model correction calculation to realize flow rate calculation. The high-velocity water flow passes through the large-diameter R1 inlet, impacts the side wall to form pressure, and contracts to be discharged from the small-diameter outlet R2. The length and diameter ratio of the L1 section with RI and R2 are designed according to different flow velocities to realize accurate measurement of pressure sensing. The L2 section is a self-floating horizontal stabilizing device. Its front part is a closed ring and its rear part is a strip that floats freely, realizing stable and balanced measurement of flow velocity impact pressure.

[0032] Force analysis was performed on the flow velocity data logger. The flow velocity data logger is subjected to the following forces: horizontal force and tension F in the rod connecting the tensile stress sensor. 拉 (F) 拉 (Value of the tension sensor), the impact force F of the water flow velocity on the flow velocity collector.冲 F 拉= F 冲 The forces acting vertically on the flow velocity collector are: gravity G and buoyancy F. 浮 Based on the balance of materials and varieties, F 浮= G.

[0033] The formula for calculating flow velocity is derived from the force equilibrium: G = F 浮 (Equation 1) F 冲 = F 拉 (Equation 2) t = ΔM (Equation 3) , In the formula: G -- gravity, unit: kg.m / m² F 浮 --Buoyancy, unit: kg.m / F 拉 --Sensor tensile force, unit: Kg.m / F 冲 --The impact force of the fluid on the horn sensor, in kg.m / t -- time, in seconds --Comprehensive correction coefficient, dimensionless ΔM -- Fluid impact mass, unit: kg --Fluid mixture bulk density (overall density), unit: Kg / --Inlet radius of the horn-shaped sensor, in meters. --Exit radius of the horn-shaped sensor, in meters. L1 -- Length of the horn segment of the horn sensor, in meters (m) --Flow velocity calculated at fluid measuring points, unit: m / s Pipeline pressure flow rate calculation: , --Pipe pressure flow rate, unit: m³ / s 3 / s --Pipe cross-sectional area, in m² 2 --Pipe radius, in meters --Average flow velocity in the pipe, in m / s --Flow velocity at the center of the pipe, in m / s --Flow velocity measured in pipelines, unit: m / s --Pipe flow damping coefficient (dimensionless, related to fluid viscosity, flow pressure, pipe wall properties, and pipe diameter) Calculation of free surface flow in rivers and canals: , --Free surface flow rate of river and canal pipelines, in m³ / s 3 / s --Fluid flow cross-sectional area, in m² 2 --Effective width of the river / canal, in meters. --Effective depth of river / canal flow, in meters. --Average flow velocity across river / canal cross-section, in m / s --Flow velocity in the center of the river or canal (usually the maximum), in m / s --Flow velocity is measured by a flow velocity sensor, with units of m / s. --Channel velocity correction factor (dimensionless, related to fluid viscosity, fluid width, fluid depth, channel characteristics, etc.) The device is installed at a suitable location in a pipe or open channel via a fixed sliding rod. For free surface flow (including rivers, open channels, and non-full-pipe pressure flow), a self-controlled float on the fixed sliding rod measures the liquid level and water depth parameters by rising and falling with the liquid level. Based on the fluid's specific gravity and viscosity, the weight ball is adjusted to control the flow velocity collector to be just submerged in the fluid. The fluid impacts the flow velocity collector, generating a pulling force. This pulling force is measured by a tension sensor and transmitted to the calculation system to calculate parameters such as fluid velocity and flow rate. The model calculation data is displayed on the system or remotely transmitted to the required data system. The data display system displays the following data (including but not limited to) parameters such as time, liquid level, flow velocity, and flow rate.

[0034] The fixed slide bar is characterized by its pull rod material being sturdy, durable, rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and easy to purchase. It is recommended to choose a 20 mm diameter thin-walled stainless steel tube.

[0035] The function of the pipe core positioning pin is to accurately position the flow velocity collector on the inner wall of the pipe during pipeline flow velocity detection, and to control the flow velocity collector to be located in the center of the pipe. Its features are simple fixing and lightweight material. It is recommended to choose a PE pipe with a fixing pin diameter of 20 mm.

[0036] The function of the self-leveling float is to measure the liquid level in accordance with the scale of the fixed sliding rod. Its feature is that it floats along the fixed sliding rod as the liquid level rises and falls, and the buoyancy changes. It is recommended to choose a 200 mm diameter polyvinyl chloride sealed hollow ball with a 22 mm aperture.

[0037] The design of flow rate collectors with different specifications is set according to the range of fluid flow rates, including the design of D1, D2, L1, and L2 dimensions (especially the design parameters of (D1-D2) / L1 at different velocities) and material selection. For water environments, materials such as polyvinyl chloride, rubber cloth, tarpaulin, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) waterproof and breathable laminated fabrics can be selected.

[0038] The fluid density adjusting counterweight ball is characterized by adjusting the counterweight according to the fluid density to balance the buoyancy of the float, ensuring that the flow rate collector is just submerged in the fluid surface. It is fixed together with the buoyancy ball and moves up and down with the buoyancy ball along the mounting and fixing slide rod. It is recommended to choose a hollow ball with a diameter of 100 mm and a 22 mm aperture polyvinyl chloride sealing port. The sealing port can be opened to install an appropriate amount of counterweight sand.

[0039] Data transmission involves transmitting the data collected by the tension sensor to the data processing unit, which can use either wired or wireless transmission as needed. The data processing unit then uses the data obtained from the tension sensor to simulate and calculate parameters such as fluid density, pipe diameter, width, depth, and viscosity, accurately calculating and displaying the fluid flow rate and liquid level information.
