Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow meter technology, and in particular to an assembly method for a high-precision turbine flow meter for gas. Background Technology
[0002] Gas turbine flow meters are velocity-type instruments with advantages such as high accuracy and repeatability. Their simple overall structure and wide range make them widely used in long-distance gas transmission pipelines, primarily for metering in pipeline networks. In urban gas transmission networks, they are mainly used in high-flow-rate main pipelines such as pressure regulating stations, requiring long-term operation. Therefore, the normal output of the metering signal is particularly important. For example, the gas turbine flow meter with dual high-frequency detection disclosed in application number CN201720578037.1, the gas turbine flow meter disclosed in application number CN201620578919.3, the turbine flow meter counting transmission component disclosed in application number CN202222289316.X, and the novel rectification structure and metering chamber component disclosed in application number CN202022670904.9 all disclose some structures of existing turbine flow meters.
[0003] However, high-precision turbine flow meters have many components, a complex structure, and require precise installation between components, which generally necessitates manual assembly. Manual installation is prone to problems such as disorganized steps, inaccurate installation, misalignment, and interference. Furthermore, existing technologies lack methods to guide workers during installation. Therefore, high-precision turbine flow meters are susceptible to errors and inaccuracies during assembly, resulting in low reliability, low metering accuracy, low stability, and a low overall pass rate after assembly.
[0004] Based on this, the applicant is considering designing an assembly method to maximize the reliability, metering accuracy, and stability of a high-precision turbine flow meter for gas. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0071] This embodiment provides a method for assembling a high-precision turbine flow meter for gas, which includes the following steps:
[0072] S1. Preparatory work: Check the measuring core 16, ensuring the gear transmission is flexible; check the quality of the parts, use fine sandpaper to remove burrs from all parts, clean the surface and inner holes of all parts, and blow the surface and inner holes of the parts with compressed air; through the pretreatment of each part, ensure the smooth assembly of subsequent steps and avoid parts affecting the use of the high-precision turbine 18 flow meter after installation.
[0073] like Figure 1As shown, S2, Measuring Core Assembly: S2.1, Apply anaerobic adhesive (using Loctite 603) to the outer cylindrical surface of the bottom of the measuring core journal 7 and the measuring core pin 6. Note that only apply a small amount of anaerobic adhesive to one side of the pin. Use a hand-operated press or other tool to press it into the corresponding shaft hole of the measuring core seat 1. At the same time, install the main drive shaft 2 into the measuring core seat 1 in the corresponding direction. S2.2, With the measuring core seat 1 in place and vertically positioned, install the wave spring washer 13, bearing 51, and bearing retainer 53 into the main drive shaft 2 in sequence. Fix the bearing 51 with the bearing retainer 53. Adjust the measuring core cover 3, tighten the screws 52, and check the spring clearance on the cover. S2.3, Install the flange bearing 14 into the measuring core seat 1. The main drive shaft gear 4 passes through the flange bearing 14, intermediate wheel 5, and flange bearing 14 in sequence. Finally, fix the flange bearing 14 with the bearing retainer 53. Fix the intermediate wheel 5 with two screws 52. Note that adjustments can only be made during the assembly process. At the end, proceed as follows: S2.4, Install bearing 51 into measuring core bolt 6, then install connecting gear 8, then install bearing 51 again, and fix it with bearing retainer 53 (use 1.2mm bearing retainer 53); S2.5, Drive shaft gear 9 passes through flange bearing 14, measuring core seat 1, flange bearing 14, input gear 10 in sequence, and finally fix flange bearing 14 with bearing retainer 53, and fix input gear 10 with two screws 52; S2.6, Install bearing 51 into measuring core bolt 6, then install output gear 11, and fix gear fixing bracket 12 with screws 52; S2.7, Move intermediate wheel 5 to the center, allowing intermediate wheel 5 to mesh with the center of main drive shaft 2, align it with main drive shaft 2, and make it perpendicular to the surface with fixing screws, check the position of each gear, the measuring core 16 rotates flexibly, and be careful not to overtighten screws 52; Assemble the measuring core in sequence according to these steps to ensure the subsequent use of the measuring core.
[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, S3, Measurement Core Installation: Insert the entire measurement core 16 into the measurement core housing 15 group, ensuring that the output port of the entire measurement core 16 is aligned with the output hole of the measurement core housing 15 group. Use the cylindrical screw 52 and the spring washer 54 to fix the entire measurement core 16 and the measurement core housing 15 group, and tighten the cylindrical screw 52. Following this step, the measurement core can be stably installed in the measurement core housing 15 group.
[0075] like Figure 2As shown, S4, turbine 18 assembly: For the assembly gap between the measuring core assembly 16 and the turbine 18, select a suitable adjusting shim 20 (various thicknesses of adjusting shims 20, such as 0.02mm, 0.05mm, and 0.1mm, can be used). The reference gap between the guide fluid assembly 17 and the turbine 18 is also considered. Place the adjusting shim 20 onto the output shaft of the measuring core assembly 16, then place the turbine 18 on it. Gently rotate the turbine 18 and observe whether it rotates flexibly; otherwise, reassemble. Push the locating pin 21 into the pin groove between the turbine 18 and the main drive shaft 2 of the measuring core. The locating pin 21 should not be higher than the plane of the turbine 18. Secure the turbine 18 with two left-hand nuts 55, ensuring both nuts 55 are tightened. Following these steps, the turbine 18 and the guide fluid assembly 17 can be assembled. By selecting adjusting shims 20 of different thicknesses according to the actual situation, collisions between the turbine 18 and the guide fluid end face can be prevented.
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, S5, fluid guide assembly: The measuring core assembly 16, turbine 18, fluid guide, and measuring core housing 15 form a single unit. The measuring core housing 15 is placed vertically on the worktable. First, the guide ring 19 is installed into the measuring core housing 15, and then the fluid guide is placed on the housing 26 assembly. Note that there should be no friction between the fluid guide and the turbine 18 plane. The fluid guide assembly 17 is fixed with cylindrical screws 52 and spring washers 54. At the same time, the cylindrical screws 52 are tightened. O-rings 57 are used for sealing on the groove of the fluid guide and the groove of the measuring core housing 15. The O-rings 57 must not fall off. The fluid guide is stably assembled according to this step.
[0077] S6. Test the rotation time of the mechanism assembly 22: Blow compressed air into the guide fluid position of the mechanism assembly 22 until the turbine 18 rotates at high speed. Stop blowing air and start timing with a stopwatch to record the rotation test time of the mechanism assembly 22. If the rotation time of the turbine 18 meets the process requirements, proceed to the next step.
