[0002] Flowmeters are instruments for measuring the flow of fluid media, and are widely used in chemical industry, food industry, pharmaceutical industry and daily life. The precision of flowmeters needs to be measured and calibrated when they are shipped and during use, so as to ensure the precision of the flowmeters. Static weighing is a common way for flowmeter calibration. The weighing container in the static weighing flowmeter calibration device is placed on a weighing instrument. The weighing container is used to contain the liquid flowing from the reversing oil inlet mechanism. The weighing instrument weighs the weighing container after the liquid flows in. After the weighing is completed, the liquid in the weighing container needs to be discharged, and then the next weighing is performed. At present, the liquid in the weighing container is discharged by directly pouring or through a liquid discharge pipe. These two methods need manual operation repeatedly and cannot be perfectly matched with the reversing mechanism, so the degree of automation is low and the weighing error is large. In addition, the liquid circulates in the pipeline between the liquid tank and the instrument clamping device. The heat exchange speed is different at different positions during the liquid flow. There is a temperature difference between the pipeline sections, which causes different pressures and flow rates, affecting the accuracy of the calibration.

[0039] S2, a branch pipeline is connected between the middle of the circulation pipeline B and the variable temperature oil tank, a stop valve B is arranged on the branch pipeline, and a weighing device is connected to the branch pipeline;
[0040] S3, a reversing device is connected to the branch pipeline at the front end of the weighing device, a discharge pipe A of the reversing device is connected to the weighing device, and a discharge pipe B is connected to the variable temperature oil tank;
[0041] S4, the oil pump is started, the stop valve B is opened, the oil in the variable temperature oil tank enters the constant temperature device from the circulation pipeline A, the pipeline connected to the instrument is kept in a constant temperature state, and then the oil enters the reversing device from the branch pipeline;
[0042] S5, the reversing device is driven to discharge the oil from the discharge pipe A to the weighing device, the oil reaches a preset liquid level and stabilizes, and then reading is performed, and meanwhile, the reversing device is driven to discharge the oil from the discharge pipe B to the variable temperature oil tank, so that the circulation of the oil in the pipeline is maintained;
[0043] S6, after the weighing device completes reading and the internal oil is discharged, the reversing device is driven to discharge the oil from the discharge pipe A to the weighing device for weighing, and steps S5 and S6 are repeated to realize continuous measurement of the weighing device.
[0044] When the weighing device or the reversing device fails or is temporarily repaired, the stop valve A is opened and the stop valve B is closed, the oil is stopped from being supplied to the weighing device and the reversing device, and the oil in the system is kept in a circulating state.

[0046] An overflow pipe is arranged between the middle of the circulation pipeline A and the variable temperature oil tank, an overflow valve is arranged on the overflow pipe, when the oil flow rate in the circulation pipeline A is too fast to cause excessive pressure, the oil flows back to the variable temperature oil tank through the overflow valve from the overflow pipe, so as to maintain the stability of the oil pressure in the circulation pipeline, ensure the accuracy of the calibration measurement, and a standby interface is further arranged on the circulation pipeline A.
[0047] The thermostatic device includes an oil bath and instrument clamping fittings installed within the oil bath.

The reversing valve is used to switch the high-pressure gas between the first high-pressure gas pipe and the second high-pressure gas pipe. The reversing valve is also provided with a vent that communicates with the atmosphere to release the backflowing high-pressure gas.
[0050] The asymmetric reversing mechanism comprises a bidirectional cylinder installed in the middle of a support plate, a herringbone reversing pipe arranged at the lower end of the support plate, a sliding gap with the same length direction as the extension direction of the bidirectional cylinder arranged at one end of the middle of the support plate, a photoelectric probe fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate, an outer end of the photoelectric probe being provided with a photosensitive groove corresponding to the sliding gap, photosensitive parts being correspondingly arranged on the two side walls of the photosensitive groove, and a vertical pipe being arranged between the sliding gap and the photosensitive groove and extending into the upper part of the herringbone reversing pipe; a liquid discharge pipe A and a liquid discharge pipe B are connected to the lower part of the herringbone reversing pipe, an extension rod of the bidirectional cylinder is fixedly connected to an oil pipe joint, the oil pipe joint is connected to a branch pipeline, and the oil pipe joint is provided as a quick connection joint.
[0051] The principle of the reversing device is that the bidirectional cylinder drives the vertical pipe to reciprocally slide in the photosensitive groove and correspond to the lower liquid discharge pipe A or the lower liquid discharge pipe B, oil liquid enters the liquid discharge pipe A or the liquid discharge pipe B from the vertical pipe, the positioning of the vertical pipe to the liquid discharge is realized by the photosensitive part of the photosensitive groove, the vertical pipe moves outward to block the photosensitive part, and then corresponds to the lower liquid discharge pipe A, the photoelectric probe transmits the position signal to the controller of the bidirectional cylinder, the cylinder stops working, and the vertical pipe stops working, the vertical pipe moves inward to completely leave the photosensitive part, and then corresponds to the lower liquid discharge pipe B, the photoelectric probe transmits the position signal to the controller of the bidirectional cylinder, the cylinder stops working, and the vertical pipe stops working.
[0052] The bidirectional cylinder is controlled by a two-position three-way valve, a gas pipe A of the two-position three-way valve is connected to the inlet and outlet of one end of the bidirectional cylinder, a gas pipe B is connected to the inlet and outlet of the other end of the bidirectional cylinder, and an adjusting valve is further arranged at the connection position of the gas pipe and the bidirectional cylinder.
[0053] An adapter and a flexible pipe are arranged between the oil pipe joint and the branch pipeline, one interface of the adapter is connected to the branch pipeline, the other interface is connected to the oil pipe joint through the flexible pipe, the flexible pipe deforms along with the movement of the vertical pipe driven by the extension of the bidirectional cylinder, the connection between the vertical pipe and the branch pipeline is maintained, and the oil liquid is not interrupted.
[0054] The method and principle of continuous measurement of the weighing device and the reversing device are as follows:
[0055] First step, oil feeding and weighing: the bidirectional cylinder of the reversing device drives the vertical pipe to move outward and correspond to the lower liquid discharge pipe A, oil liquid enters the oil liquid container of the weighing device from the liquid discharge pipe A, the bidirectional cylinder drives the vertical pipe to move inward and correspond to the lower liquid discharge pipe B when the liquid level of the oil liquid reaches a predetermined position, the oil liquid enters the variable-temperature oil liquid tank from the liquid discharge pipe B for continuous circulation, and the reading is performed after the oil liquid in the oil liquid container is stable.
[0056] Second step, oil emptying (see the attached drawing) Figure 2): After reading the number, the reversing valve passes high-pressure gas from the second inlet and outlet to piston cylinder A and piston cylinder C through the second high-pressure gas pipe. The piston rod in piston cylinder C pushes the outer end of the return pipe into the oil container, and the piston rod in piston cylinder A pulls the piston in piston cylinder B upwards. Piston cylinder B generates negative pressure in the return pipe through the suction pipe, and one-way valve B blocks the return circuit of the piston cylinder B to which the oil in the variable-temperature oil tank is sucked, and the oil can only be sucked into piston cylinder B through one-way valve A.
[0057] Step 3, re-oil weighing (see attached Figure 3 ): After the oil in the oil tank is emptied, the bidirectional air cylinder drives the vertical pipe to correspond to the lower drain pipe A, and the oil re-enters the oil container. At the same time, the reversing valve passes high-pressure gas from the first inlet and outlet to piston cylinder A and piston cylinder C through the first high-pressure gas pipe. The piston rod of piston cylinder C pulls the return pipe out of the oil container (pulling out the return pipe is to avoid the interference of the return pipe in the oil container to the weighing, and to improve the accuracy of the weighing measurement). The piston rod of piston cylinder A presses the piston of piston cylinder B downwards, and the oil in piston cylinder B is pressed out to the return pipe. One-way valve A blocks the return circuit of the oil returning to the oil container, and the oil can only return to the variable-temperature oil tank from the return pipe through one-way valve B. After the oil is stable and the number is read, repeat the second step above to realize continuous reversing weighing.
[0058] The reversing device has fast reversing speed and small disturbance to the oil flow field. The oil entering the oil container of the weighing device has less wall-hanging amount, and the accuracy of the weighing measurement is higher. The three piston cylinders of the weighing device and the reversing valve are used in cooperation, which can realize the synchronization of the return pipe entering the oil container and the piston cylinder B extracting the oil, realize the synchronization of the weighing reading and the oil returning to the variable-temperature oil tank, and the whole action process is compact. Combined with the reversing mechanism, high-efficiency continuous weighing verification can be realized.

The piston rod in piston cylinder C pushes the outer end of the return pipe into the oil container downward. The piston rod in piston cylinder A pulls the piston in piston cylinder B upward. Piston cylinder B generates negative pressure in the return pipe through the suction pipe. One-way valve B blocks the circuit where the variable temperature oil tank is sucked into piston cylinder B. The oil can only be sucked into piston cylinder B through one-way valve A. The third step is to refill and weigh the oil: After the oil in the oil tank is emptied, the bidirectional cylinder re-drives the vertical pipe to align with the lower drain pipe A, and the oil re-enters the oil container. At the same time, the reversing valve introduces high-pressure gas from the first inlet and outlet into piston cylinder A and from the fifth inlet and outlet into piston cylinder C through the first high-pressure gas pipe. The piston rod of piston cylinder C pulls the return pipe out of the oil container upward, and the piston rod of piston cylinder A presses down on the piston of piston cylinder B, forcing the oil in piston cylinder B out into the return pipe. The one-way valve A blocks the oil return circuit to the oil container, and the oil can only flow back to the variable temperature oil tank through the return pipe via the one-way valve B. After the oil stabilizes and the reading is completed, the second step above is repeated to achieve continuous reversing weighing.
