Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vortex flow meter technology, specifically to an anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Vortex flow meters are volumetric flow meters designed and manufactured based on the Karman vortex street principle to measure the volumetric flow rate, standard volumetric flow rate, or mass flow rate of gases, steam, or liquids. They are mainly used for measuring the flow rate of fluids in industrial pipelines, such as gases, liquids, and steam. Their characteristics include low pressure loss, a wide measuring range, and high accuracy. When measuring volumetric flow rate under operating conditions, they are almost unaffected by parameters such as fluid density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity.
[0003] Vortex flow meters have many problems in use. For viscous liquids, liquids containing impurities, or liquids containing particles, the flow meter often becomes clogged due to the large amount of impurities, which causes the flow meter to become less accurate. In low-temperature environments, the liquid may even condense inside the flow meter due to the blockage, forcing the staff to frequently disassemble the flow meter during maintenance, thus reducing its service life.
[0004] As described in patent number CN216717481U, a vortex flow meter sensor with an anti-clogging structure uses two sets of filter tubes. When clogging occurs and impurities need to be cleaned, one filter tube is replaced while the other is kept in use. After reassembly, the other filter tube is replaced, and the previously assembled filter tube is kept in use. This achieves filtration without affecting the flow of the medium in the pipeline.
[0005] Based on the above information, it can be seen that the filter tube is replaced manually, requiring manual maintenance. When measuring the transport of media containing impurities, the single-use time of the filter tube is short, resulting in frequent manual maintenance and high labor intensity. In addition, frequent replacement of the filter tube cannot effectively guarantee the sealing effect of the pipeline, thus negatively affecting the measurement accuracy of the vortex flow meter. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter and its usage method. This solves the problem that conventional anti-clogging structure designs for vortex flow meters require manual maintenance, which is cumbersome and can negatively impact the measurement accuracy of the vortex flow meter.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter, comprising a flow meter body and circular filter boxes disposed on the left and right sides of the flow meter body. Each of the two circular filter boxes has a connecting pipe connected to its opposite side. A flange is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the circular filter box. A pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two circular filter boxes. A cleaning box is fixedly connected to the bottom of both pads. A power box is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning box, located between the two circular filter boxes. A filling pipe is connected to the top of the power box, and a sealing cap is threaded onto the outer surface of the filling pipe. A rotary drive assembly is fixedly installed on the top of the power box. The two output ends of the rotary drive assembly pass through a circular filter box and extend into the interior of the circular filter box. A sealing ring is rotatably connected inside the circular filter box, and the sealing ring and the output ends of the rotary drive assembly are connected by a spline assembly. Several slots are evenly spaced on the outer circumference of the sealing ring, and a U-shaped collection frame is placed inside the slot. A first filter screen is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped collection frame. A cleaning drive component is fixedly installed inside the power box. The two output ends of the cleaning drive component pass through the power box and are connected to a cleaning tube array assembly adapted to the circular filter box.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, circular filter boxes are set on both sides of the flow meter body. The cooperation of sealing ring and slot ensures the effective flow of medium in the pipeline. The first filter screen is used to screen impurities in the medium. With the setting of the rotary drive component, the sealing ring can be rotated, thereby replacing the unused first filter screen. This avoids the blockage caused by the long-term use of a single first filter screen. The whole process is sealed, which reduces the amount of manual labor and effectively ensures the detection accuracy of the flow meter body.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the circular filter box includes a box body and a box cover, and the box body and the box cover are fixedly connected by bolts; the opposite sides of the two box bodies are respectively connected to both ends of the flow meter body; and the opposite sides of the two box covers are respectively connected to one end of the two connecting pipes.
[0010] The invention is further configured such that: a through hole is provided at the top of the cleaning box and inside the power box; a second filter screen is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the cleaning box and on both sides of the through hole; the bottom of the circular filter box, the pad, and the top of the cleaning box are connected by an opening; a strainer basin is slidably connected inside the cleaning box and on the outer periphery of the opening; and sealing doors adapted to the strainer basin are hinged to both sides of the cleaning box.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the combination of openings and a strainer basin, impurities on the first filter screen after use can fall into the strainer basin through the openings, providing convenient conditions for cleaning impurities on the first filter screen.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the rotary drive assembly includes a mounting box, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting box, the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear through a coupling, drive shafts are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the mounting box, and a second bevel gear adapted to the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two drive shafts facing each other, and the end of the drive shaft away from the mounting box passes through the circular filter box and extends into the interior of the circular filter box.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the spline assembly includes a spline shaft, the right side of the sealing ring is provided with a spline groove adapted to the spline shaft, and one end of the spline shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft away from the mounting box.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the matching arrangement of the spline shaft and spline groove, while ensuring that the drive shaft drives the spline shaft to effectively rotate the sealing ring, convenient conditions are provided for the easy disassembly and assembly of the sealing ring.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning drive component includes an isolation cover, a water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the isolation cover, one end of the water pump inlet pipe passes through the isolation cover and the cleaning box in sequence and extends into the interior of the cleaning box, the top end of the water pump outlet pipe is connected to a horizontal pipe, and both the left and right ends of the horizontal pipe pass through the isolation cover and the power box in sequence and extend to the left and right sides of the power box respectively.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning tube array assembly includes a hollow plate, and a plurality of conduits are evenly spaced and connected to the opposite sides of the two hollow plates, one end of the conduit penetrates through the circular filter box and extends into the interior of the circular filter box, and the left and right ends of the horizontal tube are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two hollow plates.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and with the water pump installed, the water in the cleaning tank is transported to the horizontal pipe. The hollow plate and guide plate are used to rinse the first filter screen after use, thereby cleaning the first filter screen. With the cooperation of the opening and the strainer basin, impurities are effectively collected. At the same time, the second filter screen is used to circulate the clean water, effectively reducing water resource consumption.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the diameter of the connecting pipe is adapted to the size of the U-shaped collection frame.
[0019] The invention is further configured such that the bottom of the two box covers on opposite sides is hinged to a sealing replacement door adapted to the U-shaped collection frame.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the sealed replacement door, the disassembly and assembly of the U-shaped collection frame are made convenient, thus eliminating the need to disassemble the entire circular filter box. This not only makes the device easy to use but also ensures a long service life.
[0021] This invention also discloses a method for using an anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter, specifically including the following steps:
[0022] Step 1, Media Conveying: Connect the two connecting pipes to the external pipeline through flanges. The external medium enters a circular filter box through one connecting pipe, and after being filtered by the first filter screen in a U-shaped collection frame, it enters the flow meter body. Then it flows to the other circular filter box, and after being filtered by the first filter screen in one of the U-shaped collection frames, it is transported to the external pipeline through the other connecting pipe.
[0023] Step 2, Anti-blocking adjustment: After the U-shaped collection box in Step 1 has been used for a set time, start the drive motor. The drive motor drives the first bevel gear to rotate, and the first bevel gear drives the two second bevel gears to rotate the drive shaft. The drive shaft drives the sealing ring to rotate, and the U-shaped collection box that has been used for a set time is replaced with an adjacent U-shaped collection box. After it has been used for a set time, repeat the operation to replace the adjacent U-shaped collection box.
[0024] Step 3, Cleaning: When the U-shaped collection frame is rotated to the opening after use, start the water pump. The water pump's inlet pipe draws water from the cleaning tank, and the water is delivered to the horizontal pipe through the outlet pipe and then to the two hollow plates. Subsequently, the water is used to rinse the first filter screen plate in the U-shaped collection frame after use through the conduit.
[0025] Step 4, Water Circulation: The water that was rinsed in Step 3 after washing the first filter screen falls into the strainer basin through the opening. After the impurities are filtered in the strainer basin, the clean water is filtered again through the second filter screen and then pumped out for use.
[0026] This invention provides an anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter and its usage method. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] (1) The anti-clogging external stress vortex flow meter and its usage method are achieved by setting circular filter boxes on both sides of the flow meter body, using the cooperation of sealing ring and slot to ensure the effective flow of medium in the pipeline, using the first filter screen to screen impurities in the medium, and under the setting of the rotary drive component, the sealing ring can be rotated, thereby replacing the unused first filter screen, avoiding the clogging caused by the long-term use of a single first filter screen, and the whole process is sealed, which reduces the amount of manual labor while effectively ensuring the detection accuracy of the flow meter body.
[0028] (2) The anti-clogging external stress vortex flow meter and its usage method, by utilizing the combination of the opening and the strainer basin, allows the impurities on the first filter screen plate after use to fall into the strainer basin through the opening, providing convenient conditions for cleaning the impurities on the first filter screen plate.
[0029] (3) The anti-clogging external stress vortex flow meter and its usage method, by utilizing the combination of spline shaft and spline groove, ensures that the drive shaft drives the spline shaft to make the sealing ring rotate effectively, while providing convenient conditions for the easy disassembly and assembly of the sealing ring.
[0030] (4) The anti-clogging external stress vortex flow meter and its usage method, by cooperating with the water pump, the water in the cleaning tank is transported to the horizontal pipe by the water pump. The first filter screen is rinsed after use by the hollow plate and guide plate, thereby cleaning the first filter screen. With the cooperation of the opening and the strainer basin, impurities are effectively collected. At the same time, the second filter screen is used to realize the circulation of clean water, effectively reducing the loss of water resources.
[0031] (5) The anti-clogging external stress vortex flow meter and its usage method provide convenient conditions for the disassembly and assembly of the U-shaped collection frame by utilizing the setting of the sealed replacement door, so that the circular filter box does not need to be completely disassembled. While being convenient to use, it also ensures the long service life of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0051] To achieve effective anti-clogging filtration of the medium transported in the pipeline, a sealing ring 8 is rotatably connected inside the circular filter box 2. Several evenly spaced slots 10 are formed on the outer circumference of the sealing ring 8, and a U-shaped collection frame 11 is placed inside each slot 10.

With the combination of the opening 19 and the strainer basin 20, impurities are effectively collected. At the same time, the arrangement of the second filter screen 18 enables the circulation of clean water, effectively reducing water resource consumption.
[0057] The above-mentioned method for using an external stress-type vortex flow meter with anti-clogging features specifically includes the following steps:
[0058] Step 1, Media Conveying: Connect the two connecting pipes 3 to the external pipelines through flanges. The external medium enters a circular filter box 2 through one connecting pipe 3, and after being filtered by the first filter screen 12 in a U-shaped collection frame 11, it enters the flow meter body 1, and then flows to the other circular filter box 2. After being filtered by the first filter screen 12 in one of the U-shaped collection frames 11, it is transported to the external pipeline through the other connecting pipe 3.
[0059] Step 2, Anti-blocking adjustment: After the U-shaped collection box 11 in Step 1 has been used for a set time, start the drive motor 22. The drive motor 22 drives the first bevel gear 23 to rotate. The first bevel gear 23 drives the two second bevel gears 25 to rotate the drive shaft 24. The drive shaft 24 drives the sealing ring 8 to rotate. Replace the U-shaped collection box 11 after the set time of use with an adjacent U-shaped collection box 11. After the set time of use, repeat the operation to replace the adjacent U-shaped collection box 11.
[0060] Step 3, Cleaning: When the U-shaped collection frame 11 is rotated to the opening 19 after use, the water pump 29 is started. The water inlet pipe of the water pump 29 draws water from the cleaning tank 5. The water is delivered to the horizontal pipe 30 through the outlet pipe and then to the two hollow plates 31. Subsequently, the water is rinsed through the conduit 32 to rinse the first filter screen plate 12 in the U-shaped collection frame 11 after use.
[0061] Step 4, Water Circulation: The water that was rinsed in Step 3 after rinsing the first filter screen 12 falls into the strainer basin 20 through the opening 19. After the impurities are filtered in the strainer basin 20, the clean water is filtered again through the second filter screen 18 and then pumped out by the water pump 29.

One end of the spline shaft (26) is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft (24) away from the mounting box (21).
4. The anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter according to claim 1, characterized in that: The diameter of the connecting pipe (3) is adapted to the size of the U-shaped collection frame (11).
5. The anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter according to claim 2, characterized in that: The bottom of the two box covers (16) on opposite sides are hinged to a sealing replacement door (33) that is compatible with the U-shaped collection frame (11).
6. The method of using an anti-clogging external stress-type vortex flow meter according to claim 3, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are included: Step 1, Media delivery: Connect the two connecting pipes (3) to the external pipelines through flanges respectively. The external medium enters a circular filter box (2) through one connecting pipe (3), and after being filtered by the first filter screen (12) in a U-shaped collection frame (11), it enters the flow meter body (1) and then flows to another circular filter box (2). After being filtered by the first filter screen (12) in one of the U-shaped collection frames (11), it is delivered to the external pipeline through the other connecting pipe (3). Step 2, Anti-blocking adjustment: After the U-shaped collection box (11) in Step 1 has been used for a set time, start the drive motor (22). The drive motor (22) drives the first bevel gear (23) to rotate. The first bevel gear (23) drives the two second bevel gears (25) to rotate the drive shaft (24). The drive shaft (24) drives the sealing ring (8) to rotate. Replace the U-shaped collection box (11) after the set time of use with an adjacent U-shaped collection box (11). After the set time of use, repeat the operation to replace the adjacent U-shaped collection box (11). Step 3, Cleaning: When the U-shaped collection frame (11) is rotated to the opening (19) after use, the water pump (29) is started. The water inlet pipe of the water pump (29) draws water from the cleaning tank (5), and the water is delivered to the horizontal pipe (30) through the water outlet pipe and delivered to the two hollow plates (31) respectively. Then the water is rinsed through the conduit (32) to rinse the first filter screen plate (12) in the U-shaped collection frame (11) after use. Step 4, Water Circulation: The water that was rinsed in Step 3 after rinsing the first filter screen (12) falls into the strainer basin (20) through the opening (19). After the impurities are filtered in the strainer basin (20), the clean water is filtered again through the second filter screen (18) and then pumped out by the water pump (29).
