Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a density meter calibration, in particular to an online vibration tube liquid density meter calibration device. Background Art

[0002] Online vibrating tube liquid density meter (hereinafter referred to as: density meter) is a high-precision, high-stability, high-anti-interference ability instrument. It is widely used in oil pipelines and refining, chemical and petrochemical, water treatment and sewage treatment, oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, coating industry, paper industry, textile printing and dyeing industry, fuel industry, food and beverage industry, etc. to measure the density and concentration of the medium.

[0003] At present, the calibration process of the density meter is cumbersome and time-consuming. For a density meter, at least three solvents with different densities (i.e. calibration media), multiple different temperature environments, multiple different pressure environments, and multiple different flow environments need to be calibrated. When switching different solvents, the pipelines and instruments need to be cleaned to avoid contamination of the new solution by residual media. This process requires a lot of manpower and time to complete. The most common calibration solutions are pure water, anhydrous ethanol, saline solution, etc., with multiple temperature points such as 15°C, 20°C, 25°C~60°C, etc. The control time of each solution at each temperature point ranges from a few hours to more than ten hours. In addition to the pressure condition verification, flow condition verification, and repeatability test condition verification, the time required is even longer. The efficiency is too low for large-scale calibration of density meters and cannot meet the large-scale calibration needs of density meters. Summary of the invention

[0010] The online vibrating tube liquid density meter calibration device of the present invention provides multiple sets of calibration liquid circulation pipes and moving devices. When calibrating the density meter to be measured with multiple different solvents, one solvent is injected into each set of calibration liquid circulation pipes, and different solvents are respectively injected into multiple sets of calibration liquid circulation pipes. When the density meter to be measured is switched between different calibration liquid circulation pipes for calibration, there is no need to replace the solvent in the calibration liquid circulation pipe (or reduce the number of replacements). After replacing a new density meter to be measured, there is no need to replace the solvent in the calibration liquid circulation pipe (or reduce the number of replacements).

[0055] See also Figure 1-2 The online vibrating tube liquid density meter calibration device comprises a cabinet 1, a measuring part 2, a circulation part 3, a moving device 4, a locking device and a control system. The measuring part 2 and the moving device 4 are arranged in the cabinet 1, and a part of the circulation part 3 is arranged in the cabinet 1 and a part is arranged outside the cabinet 1.

The locking device is used to lock the measuring part 2 when it is connected to the calibration liquid circulation pipe and the cleaning circulation pipe respectively, so that the pipes can be connected smoothly. The purpose of this arrangement is that when the measured density meter is calibrated with multiple different solvents, by injecting a solvent into each set of calibration liquid circulation pipes, and injecting different solvents into multiple sets of calibration liquid circulation pipes respectively, when the measured density meter is switched between different calibration liquid circulation pipes for calibration, there is no need to replace the solvent in the calibration liquid circulation pipe (or reduce the number of replacements), and after replacing a new measured density meter, there is no need to replace the solvent in the calibration liquid circulation pipe (or reduce the number of replacements), so that the time required for cleaning the pipe and the instrument is saved, which can greatly improve the calibration efficiency and meet the large-scale calibration needs of the density meter, and also reduce the impact caused by unclean cleaning pipes.

[0057] In this embodiment, three sets of calibration liquid circulation pipes are provided to support calibration of the density meter using three different solutions.

In this embodiment, by arranging two sets of liquid cleaning pipelines, it is supported to clean the measuring part 2 with two cleaning liquids, and by arranging a set of gas cleaning pipelines, it is supported to clean the measuring part 2 with water-free and oil-free air.

[0059] See also Figure 3In this embodiment, each set of the calibration liquid circulation pipeline and the cleaning circulation pipeline has a first circulation interface B10 and a second circulation interface B20, respectively, for docking with the measuring part 2, multiple first circulation interfaces B10 are arranged horizontally, multiple second circulation interfaces B20 are arranged horizontally, and the measuring part 2 is located between the first circulation interface B10 and the second circulation interface B20 in the vertical direction.

[0060] The structure and working principle of the online vibrating tube liquid density meter calibration device in this embodiment are described in detail below.

[0061]

Mobile device 4

[0062] See also Figure 3 The moving device 4 includes a horizontal moving mechanism 41 and a vertical moving mechanism 42. The horizontal moving mechanism 41 is used to drive the measuring part 2 to move horizontally, so as to move to a position corresponding to the first circulation interface B10 and the second circulation interface B20 of one of the calibration liquid circulation pipeline and the cleaning circulation pipeline. The vertical moving mechanism 42 is used to drive the measuring part 2 to move in the vertical direction, so that the second circulation interface B20 is docked with the second measurement interface B21, and then the locking device locks the first circulation interface B10 and the first measurement interface B11, as well as the second circulation interface B20 and the second measurement interface B21. In other embodiments, the arrangement of the first circulation interface B10 and the second circulation interface B20, the setting position and movement mode of the measuring part 2, and the movement direction of the moving device 4 may also be different from the above, as long as the movement of the measuring part 2 can be realized, so as to dock with different calibration liquid circulation pipelines and cleaning circulation pipelines to realize calibration and cleaning.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the horizontal moving mechanism 41 includes a horizontal track 411, a horizontal driving device 412 and a horizontal moving bracket 413, and the vertical moving mechanism 42 includes a vertical track 421, a vertical driving device 422 and a vertical moving bracket 423, wherein the horizontal moving bracket 413 is slidably arranged on the horizontal track 411, and is driven by the horizontal driving device 412 to realize movement on the horizontal track 411. The vertical track 421 is fixedly arranged on the horizontal moving bracket 413, and the vertical moving bracket 423 is slidably arranged on the vertical track 421, and is driven by the vertical driving device 422 to realize movement on the vertical track 421. The measuring part 2 is fixedly mounted on the vertical bracket. The horizontal driving device 412 and the vertical driving device 422 can use motors.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first circulation interface B10 and the first measurement interface B11 are located above the second circulation interface B20 and the second measurement interface B21. In other embodiments, the second circulation interface B20 and the second measurement interface B21 may be located below the first circulation interface B10 and the first measurement interface B11. The first circulation interface B10, the second circulation interface B20, the first measurement interface B11 and the second measurement interface B21 are respectively installed with flange quick connectors for quick connection.

[0065]

Locking device

[0066] See also Figure 5 The locking device includes a first locking mechanism 51, a second locking mechanism 52 and a third locking mechanism 53.

[0067] The first locking mechanism 51 is arranged on the circulation part 3, specifically on the first circulation interface B10, and includes a first driving mechanism 511 and an elastic buffer mechanism 512. The first driving mechanism 511 is used to move the flange quick connector on the first circulation interface B10 toward the first measuring interface B11 (specifically, move downward) and dock with the flange quick connector of the first measuring interface B11. The elastic buffer mechanism 512 is arranged between the output shaft of the first driving mechanism 511 and the flange quick connector of the first circulation interface B10 for buffering. The pipe connected to the rear of the first circulation interface B10 is a hose 37, thereby allowing the first circulation interface B10 to move downward.

[0068] The second locking mechanism 52 and the third locking mechanism 53 are disposed on the measuring part 2 and can move with the measuring part 2 .

[0069] The second locking mechanism 52 is arranged on the first measuring interface B11, and the second locking mechanism 52 includes a second driving mechanism 521 and a first flange quick clamping fixture 522. The second driving mechanism 521 is used to drive the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 to press the flange quick connector on the first circulation interface B10 and the flange quick connector on the first measuring interface B11 up and down. Specifically, the second driving mechanism 521 is located below the first circulation interface B10, and when its output shaft moves upward, it can drive the hook claws on the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 to close inward, thereby clamping the flange quick connector on the first circulation interface B10 and the flange quick connector on the first measuring interface B11, so that the measuring part 2 is connected with the circulation part 3, so as to calibrate or clean the density meter. When the output shaft of the second driving mechanism 521 moves downward, the hooks on the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 are driven to open outward, thereby loosening the flange quick connector on the first circulation interface B10 and the flange quick connector on the first measuring interface B11, so that the measuring part 2 is disengaged from the circulation part 3, so as to facilitate the movement of the measuring part 2.

[0070] The third locking mechanism 53 is arranged on the second measuring interface B21, and the third locking mechanism 53 includes a third driving mechanism 531 and a second flange quick clamping fixture 532. The third driving mechanism 531 is used to drive the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 to press the flange quick connector on the second circulation interface B20 and the flange quick connector on the second measuring interface B21 up and down. Specifically, the third driving mechanism 531 is located above the second circulation interface B20, and when its output shaft moves downward, it can drive the hook claws on the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 to close inward, thereby clamping the flange quick connector on the second circulation interface B20 and the flange quick connector on the second measuring interface B21, so that the measuring part 2 is connected with the circulation part 3, so as to calibrate or clean the density meter. When the output shaft of the third driving mechanism 531 moves upward, the hooks on the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 are driven to open outward, thereby loosening the flange quick connector on the second circulation interface B20 and the flange quick connector on the second measuring interface B21, so that the measuring part 2 is disengaged from the circulation part 3, so as to facilitate the movement of the measuring part 2.

[0071] The working process of the moving device 4 and the locking device is as follows:

[0072] The measuring part 2 has two height positions in the vertical direction: a default height and a working height. The default height is higher than the working height. In the non-working state, the measuring part 2 is at the default height. At this time, the first measuring interface B11 and the first circulation interface B10, as well as the second measuring interface B21 and the second circulation interface B20 are all at a distance in the vertical direction, and the two are not docked, thereby allowing the measuring part 2 to move horizontally without interfering with other structures. When it is necessary to work, the measuring part 2 slides in the horizontal direction. When the measuring part 2 slides in the horizontal direction to one of the calibration liquid circulation pipeline and the cleaning circulation pipeline that need to be docked under the drive of the horizontal moving mechanism 41, the measuring part 2 then moves downward under the drive of the vertical moving mechanism 42, from the default height to the working height, so that the second measuring interface B21 below moves to the position docking with the second circulation interface B20. At this time, the third driving mechanism 531 is started, and the second measuring interface B21 is moved to the second circulation interface B20 and locked through the second flange quick clamping fixture 532. At the same time, since the first measuring interface B11 moves downward with the measuring part 2, it is farther away from the first circulation interface B10. By starting the first driving mechanism 511, the first circulation interface B10 is driven to move downward to a position where it docks with the first measuring interface B11, and then the first circulation interface B10 and the first measuring interface B11 are locked by the first flange quick clamping tool 522.

[0073] When the measuring part 2 needs to be cleaned or moved to another calibration liquid circulation pipeline, the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 and the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 are first loosened, and the first driving mechanism 511 is started to drive the first circulation interface B10 to move upward and reset. Then the measuring part 2 moves upward from the working height to the default height. At the default height, it moves horizontally to the cleaning circulation pipeline or calibration liquid circulation pipeline that needs to be docked, and then the above process is repeated to dock with the cleaning circulation pipeline or calibration liquid circulation pipeline and lock it.

[0074] In other embodiments, the moving device 4 and the locking device can also be implemented in other ways. For example, contrary to the above setting, the working height of the measuring part 2 is set to be higher than the default height, and the measuring part 2 moves upward so that the first measuring interface B11 and the first circulation interface B10 are docked first, and the second circulation interface B20 is docked with the second measuring interface B21 by moving upward. There is no restriction on the movement and locking method of the measuring part 2, as long as the movement and locking of the measuring part 2 can be achieved.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 511, the second driving mechanism 521 and the third driving mechanism 531 are specifically electric push rods.

[0076]

Measurement part 2

Specifically in this embodiment, the measuring part 2 includes three parallel density meter installation positions, which can simultaneously install three density meters to be measured, or install two density meters to be measured and a standard density meter as a reference, and can calibrate 1-2 density meters to be measured at the same time, avoiding the repeated installation and disassembly process and improving the calibration efficiency.

[0078] Specifically, see Figure 6 One end of each density meter installation position is respectively provided with a stop valve K1, a stop valve K2 and a stop valve K3, and the other end is respectively provided with a stop valve K4, a stop valve K5 and a stop valve K6. After the stop valve K1, the stop valve K2 and the stop valve K3 are combined into one, a thermometer W1 is provided between the first measuring interface B11, and after the stop valve K4, the stop valve K5 and the stop valve K6 are combined into one, a thermometer W2 is provided between the second measuring interface B21.

Operation process

[0109] The general operation process of the online vibrating tube liquid density meter calibration device of the present invention is as follows:

[0110] Preparatory work: Install the density meter to be measured, clean the measuring part 2 with the alcohol washing circulation pipe 34, and blow and purify the measuring part 2 with the air washing circulation pipe 35.

[0111] Detection work: the measuring part 2 is connected to the calibration liquid for circulation one, the medium one is injected for detection, the medium is recovered after the detection is completed, and then it is moved to the cleaning circulation pipeline to clean the measuring part 2; after cleaning, the measuring part 2 is moved to the calibration liquid for circulation two, the medium two is injected for detection, the medium is recovered after the detection is completed, and then it is moved to the cleaning circulation pipeline to clean the measuring part 2; after cleaning, it is moved to the calibration liquid for circulation three, the medium three is injected for detection, the medium is recovered after the detection is completed, and then it is moved to the cleaning circulation pipeline for cleaning.

[0112] The specific operation process of the online vibrating tube liquid density meter calibration device of the present invention is as follows:

[0113] Step 1: Initial state setting

[0114] The initial state is the system default setting state, which is set during the program debugging phase. Any subsequent operation commands are set based on the initial state.

[0115] Default state of the motion guide rail: In the default state, the measuring part 2 is at the default height, in which the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 and the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 remain in a loose state. Control process: On the premise of confirming that there is no liquid in the pipeline, keep the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 and the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 in a completely loose state, and control the measuring part 2 to move to the position of the alcohol washing circulation pipeline 34. The specific data is determined according to the debugging effect.

[0116] Initial state of measuring part 2: stop valves K1 to K6 remain closed.

[0117] Initial state of circulation part 3 (degassing and washing circulation pipeline 35): Take the calibration liquid circulation pipeline 31 as an example, and the other circulation pipelines have the same logic. In the default state, pump P1 stops working, pressure regulating valves T1 and T2 remain closed, stop valves K7, K12 and K15 remain closed, and the electric push rod G1 on the pipeline shrinks its stroke.

[0118] The initial state of the air washing circulation pipeline 35 is as follows: the pressure regulating valve T9 remains closed, and the electric push rod G5 on the pipeline contracts its stroke.

[0119] Step 2: Installation of the Density Meter

[0120] The density meter A1 to be measured, the standard density meter A2, and the density meter A3 to be measured are respectively installed at the density meter installation position of the measuring part 2.

[0121] Step 3: Pipeline switching and positioning

[0122] The measuring part 2 moves to a designated position and cooperates with one of the calibration liquid circulation pipeline and the cleaning circulation pipeline (hereinafter referred to as the circulation / cleaning pipeline) to realize the pipeline switching function.

[0123] (1) Pipeline switching process

[0124] ① Preparation before pipeline switching: The process of switching the measuring part 2 from one circulation / cleaning pipeline to another: the corresponding pumps P1~P5 on the pipeline stop working, open the corresponding stop valves K7~K11 on the pipeline for ventilation, and after a certain period of time, confirm that the liquid in the outlet pipeline has been discharged, and close the corresponding pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11 on the pipeline. Confirm that the liquid level in the pipeline is pressed below the second measuring interface B21 at the bottom of the measuring part 2, close the corresponding pressure regulating valves T1, T3, T5, T7, and T10 on the pipeline, and close the stop valves K7~K11. Let it stand for a period of time (such as 1 minute), the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 is loosened, the electric push rods G1~G6 on the pipeline shrink their stroke (about 100mm), the stop valves K1~K6 are closed, and the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 is loosened.

[0125] ② Pipeline switching mode: The measuring part 2 moves upward to the default height, then moves horizontally to the stroke position corresponding to the specified pipeline, and then the measuring part 2 moves downward to the working height, the second measuring interface B21 cooperates with the second circulation interface B20 at the bottom of the circulation / cleaning pipeline, and the second flange quick clamping fixture 532 is clamped. The electric push rod G1~G6 ejects the stroke (about 100mm), so that the first measuring interface B11 at the top of the measuring part 2 cooperates with the first circulation interface B10 at the top of the circulation / cleaning pipeline, and the first flange quick clamping fixture 522 is clamped, and the pipeline switching is completed.

[0126] (2) Handling of special situations

[0127] ① Abnormal power failure processing plan: The control system has a state recording function to maintain the current state. Avoid disconnection of pipeline connections and leakage of liquid in the pipeline in the event of a sudden power failure;

[0128] ②Normal shutdown solution: Before shutdown, a pop-up window will appear on the display asking "Do you need to clean the instrument?" If you select "Yes," you can choose the cleaning method "Water wash," "Alcohol wash," or "Air wash." After the selection is completed, the cleaning will be automatically completed according to the relevant process, and then the measurement part 2 will return to the "default state." If you select "No," the measurement part 2 will directly return to the "default state."

[0129] ③ Treatment of bubbles in the pipeline liquid: During the circulation of calibration liquid, if there are bubbles in the liquid in the pipeline, it will affect the calibration accuracy of the instrument. Therefore, before normal calibration, it is necessary to discharge the bubbles in the liquid in the pipeline. The specific solution is to discharge the bubbles in the liquid in the pipeline by pressurizing it.

[0130] In the corresponding calibration liquid circulation pipeline, keep pumps P1, P3, P5, and pressure regulating valves T1, T5, and T10 in the open state. First, adjust the pressure regulating valves T2, T6, and T11 to a smaller value, such as adjusting the pressure regulating valves T2, T6, and T11 to 80° (the pressure regulating valve / stop valve is fully open when it is opened at 0°, and fully closed when it is opened at 90°, or expressed in percentage. The pressure regulating valve is adjusted to 80° for this bubble discharge treatment, which is a tentative data and shall be subject to actual debugging), and then increase the pressure through the booster pump C1 to discharge the bubbles in the pipeline.

[0131] ④ Treatment method to reduce bubbles entering the constant temperature tank / alcohol tank / water tank: adjust the pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11 to a lower value. It is recommended to adjust them to 45°. The user can input the specific adjustment value by himself;

[0132] ⑤ Dry the residual liquid in the pipeline: After the calibration is completed, you need to manually open the manual stop valves E2, E3, E5, E6, and E8 on the corresponding pipeline to drain the liquid in the corresponding constant temperature tank / alcohol tank / water tank. Then click the "Circulation Pipe Drying" command in the corresponding pipeline on the operation interface.

[0133] A. First, "dry the water outlet pipe": close the pressure regulating valves T1, T3, T5, T7, and T10 on the corresponding pipes, open the pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11, set the ventilation time, open the stop valves K7 to K11 for ventilation, and after the time is up, close the pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11.

[0134] B. Then carry out "drying the water inlet pipe": after the corresponding water outlet pipe is dried, confirm that the pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11 have been closed, set the ventilation time, open the pressure regulating valves T1, T3, T5, T7, and T10, and after the time is up, close the stop valves K7~K11. At this point, the liquid in the pipe has been dried;

[0135] ⑥Flow regulation: used to adjust the liquid flow in the corresponding pipeline. By controlling the switch size of the pressure regulating valves T1, T3, T5, T7, and T10, the water inlet flow is controlled. By controlling the pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11, the water outlet flow is controlled. In normal use, it is recommended to give priority to controlling the switch size of the pressure regulating valves T2, T4, T6, T8, and T11 to control the liquid flow in the pipeline.

[0136] ⑦Retain the "Pause" function: After clicking "Pause", the host computer records the current status of all components, and the system cuts off the power to other control parts, leaving only the industrial computer part working normally. After the user clicks "Continue", the system is powered on normally, and all unfinished operations continue to be executed, and will not be handled as "abnormal power off".

[0137] If you select "Pause", the host computer program stops working, or the industrial computer is powered off, and then powered on again, the system will handle it as "abnormal power off".
