[0019] The indicator rod used in the present invention innovatively changes the traditional scale method to a sliding rheostat method. The sliding rheostat is generally composed of five parts, including a terminal, a slider, a resistance wire, a metal rod and a porcelain tube. Its structure is a mature technical embodiment of the existing technology and will not be repeated here. Among them, the resistance wire is the core component of the sliding rheostat, and is usually made of a material with a high melting point and high resistance, such as a nickel-chromium alloy; the metal rod is made of a metal with low resistance to ensure that excessive resistance is not introduced when connected to the circuit. The resistance wire is wound around an insulating porcelain tube and coated with insulating paint to ensure the safety and stability of the circuit. The working principle of the sliding rheostat is to change the resistance value by changing the length of the resistance wire connected to the circuit, thereby controlling the current and voltage in the circuit. When the linkage rod 64 (slide) slides on the indicator rod, especially on the resistance wire, the length of the resistance wire connected to the circuit will change. According to the resistance law (R=ρL / A), the resistance value R is proportional to the length L of the resistance wire, so the resistance value will also change accordingly. Therefore, through a conventional or commonly used current detection circuit or voltage detection circuit, the current size or voltage size can be directly obtained, and then the length of the resistance wire can be reversed. Finally, the precise position of the linkage rod 64 on the indicator rod 63 is obtained, so as to realize the precise measurement of the deformation of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated.

[0020] The function of the detection ball 612 is to improve the accuracy of measurement. The principle is that the contact angle between the detection rod 611 and the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is random, and any other geometric body cannot guarantee that it will not touch the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated at an angle. If it contacts at an angle, it will generate a large pressure on the surface of the measuring tube, thereby generating a dent. Since the spring pressure of the detection rod 611 at different positions is inconsistent, the depth of the dent is inconsistent, which in turn affects the measurement accuracy. When the spherical surface contacts the measuring tube to be calibrated, the contact area is large and the same, the pressure on the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is small, and the dent generated is also small, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0021] Exemplarily, the third motor 61 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the second screw 62 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft of the third motor 61, the housing 68 is threadedly connected to the second screw 62, the cover 610 is fixedly connected to the housing 68, two rows of spring movable guide tubes 69 are symmetrically arranged on the housing 68, one end of the spring 67 is fixedly arranged in the spring movable guide tube 69, and the other end is provided with a spring pressure plate 66, the detection rod 611 is fixedly connected to the spring pressure plate 66, the detection ball 612 is fixedly connected to the detection rod 611, one end of the linkage rod 64 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the detection rod 611, the middle part is slidably connected to the rotating shaft 65 at the detection rod 611, and the other end is slidably connected to the indicator rod 63, the rotating shaft 65 is rotatably connected to the housing 68, and the indicator rod 63 is symmetrically arranged in two rows on the housing. The purpose of arranging multiple groups of measuring rods on the same side of the pipeline angle detection mechanism adopted by the present invention is to simultaneously measure and analyze multiple groups of data and reduce measurement errors.

[0022] The pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 used in the present invention, especially the detection rod 611 and the indicator rod 63, uses the lever principle to amplify the measurement distance. The displacement of the detection rod 611 can be obtained by combining a sliding rheostat and a conventional or commonly used current detection circuit or voltage detection circuit. Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 The method of using the pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 is as follows: the housing 68 is pushed out by the second screw 62 under the action of the third motor 61, and the multiple detection rods 611 are driven and pushed out by the housing 68. After being pushed onto the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, the detection rods 611 drive the linkage rod 64 to rotate and slide around the axial direction of the rotating shaft 65, and the other end of the linkage rod 64 slides a certain distance on the indicator rod 63. The detection rods 611 at different positions have different extended lengths and different sliding distances on the indicator rod 63. The offset angle of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated can be calculated according to the Pythagorean theorem. According to the offset angle, the spiral push-pull mechanism 5 can be used to act on the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, and the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is repeatedly pushed and pulled until the offset angle is corrected. Fig.10The purpose of setting the matrix detection rod 611 in the present invention is to measure and analyze multiple groups of data at the same time, reduce the measurement error, make the measurement more accurate, and be more conducive to the push-pull action of the spiral push-pull mechanism 5. Exemplarily, the present invention uses two detection rods 611 on different sides, and the distance between the two is 100 mm. The distance between the rotating shaft 65 and the indicator rod 63 is 20 times the distance between the rotating shaft 65 and the detection rod 611, that is, the indicator rod 63 can amplify the displacement of the detection rod 611 by 20 times. If the detection rod produces a displacement of 0.01 mm (i.e. 10 microns), the displacement of the linkage rod 64 on the indicator rod 63 is 1 mm. At the same time, the minimum resolution of the sliding rheostat is set to 0.2 mm, that is, the diameter of the enameled wire of the sliding rheostat is 0.2 mm, that is, the pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 can detect an error of 0.01 mm (i.e. 10 microns) in a detection section of 100 mm, that is, the measurement accuracy on a measuring tube with a total length of 2000 mm is 0.2 mm, and the total length of most measuring tubes currently used in the market is less than 2000 mm. Obviously, the present invention can meet micron-level precision detection.

[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The spiral push-pull mechanism 5 used in the present invention includes a second motor 51, a gear shaft 52, a screw propeller 53, a screw fixing ring 54 and a C-type push-pull rod 55; the second motor 51 is movably arranged on the base 1; the second motor 51 is connected to the gear shaft 52 and drives the gear shaft 52 to rotate; the screw fixing ring 54 is movably arranged on the base 1; the screw propeller 53 is placed in the screw fixing ring 54; the gear shaft 52 is connected to the screw propeller 53 and drives the screw propeller 53 to rotate around the circumference of the screw propeller 53; one end of the C-type push-pull rod 55 acts on the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, and the other end is embedded in the screw propeller 53; the second motor 51 drives the C-type push-pull rod 55 through the gear shaft 52 and the screw propeller 53 to push and pull the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. It should be noted that the diameter of the gear shaft is much smaller than the diameter of the screw propeller.

[0024] The combination of the screw propeller and the gear shaft achieves deceleration of the motor rotation due to the large difference in radius, thereby further amplifying the control accuracy of the motor. The screw propeller and the C-shaped push-pull rod are connected by a sliding connection of spherical and hemispherical grooves, which can make the C-shaped push-pull rod change linearly when it is extended and retracted. Its function is equivalent to an enlarged version of the threaded connection, but it has higher control accuracy than the screw and nut connection of the same volume, which improves the push-pull accuracy of the measuring tube. In addition, the helix angle of the screw propeller is less than the equivalent friction angle of the sliding connection between it and the C-shaped push-pull rod, that is, it meets the self-locking condition. The spiral push-pull mechanism adopted by the present invention can realize the forward and reverse correction of the pipeline through the forward and reverse rotation of the screw propeller.

[0025] See also Figure 4, Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 The spiral fixing ring 54 used in the present invention has a through hole on its side wall and a working window along the axial direction of the spiral fixing ring 54; the gear shaft 52 is placed in the working window along the axial direction of the working window and meshes with the circumferential direction of the screw propeller 53; see Figure 8 A spiral propeller 53 has a spiral propulsion groove in its radial direction; a C-shaped push-pull rod 55 extends from the through hole into the spiral fixing ring 54, and the end of the C-shaped push-pull rod 55 is embedded in the spiral propulsion groove and moves in the spiral propulsion groove as the spiral propeller 53 rotates.

[0026] See also Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The C-type push-pull rod 55 used in the present invention includes a C-type groove 551, a semi-cylindrical connecting rod 552 and a sliding ball 553; the C-type groove 551 is buckled on the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated; the C-type groove 551 is connected to the sliding ball 553 through the semi-cylindrical connecting rod 552; the semi-cylindrical connecting rod 552 extends from the through hole into the spiral fixing ring 54; the sliding ball 553 is embedded in the spiral propulsion groove and moves in the spiral propulsion groove with the rotation of the spiral propeller 53. Exemplarily, the end of the C-type groove 551, especially the part that buckles or contacts the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, is set in a semicircular shape, which is used to apply a uniform force to the wall of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, so that the local deformation caused by the C-type groove 551 applying pressure to the wall is minimized, thereby improving the stability of the flow meter.

[0027] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The pipe clamping mechanism includes a vertical pipe clamping mechanism 3 and a horizontal pipe clamping mechanism 4 of completely identical structure; the number of vertical pipe clamping mechanisms 3 and the number of horizontal pipe clamping mechanisms 4 are both one or more groups; when the number of vertical pipe clamping mechanisms 3 and the number of horizontal pipe clamping mechanisms 4 are both multiple groups, the multiple groups of vertical pipe clamping mechanisms 3 and the multiple groups of horizontal pipe clamping mechanisms 4 are evenly distributed on the measuring pipe 2 to be calibrated. It should be noted that, see Figure 2 When clamping the vertical section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, two sets of vertical tube clamping mechanisms 3 arranged opposite to each other are used to work together at the same vertical position; and when clamping the horizontal tube, a set of horizontal tube clamping mechanisms 4 is directly used to act on the horizontal section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. Taking the vertical tube clamping mechanism 3 as an example, it includes a first clamping mechanism and a second clamping mechanism symmetrically arranged with the first clamping mechanism; see Figure 3, the first clamping mechanism includes a first motor 31, a first screw 32 and a slot block 33; the end face of the slot block 33 fits the wall of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. For example, the part of the slot block in contact with the measuring tube can be set to fit the wall of the tube in a semicircular shape, which acts to apply uniform force to the semicircle of the tube wall, so that the local deformation caused by the slot block applying pressure to the tube wall is minimized, thereby improving the stability of the pipeline on the flow meter. The first motor 31 is connected to the slot block 33 through the first screw 32 and drives the slot block 33 to move along the axial direction of the first screw 32. The present invention can replace the current manual clamping method with vises through electric propulsion, directly acting on the horizontal section or vertical section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated, and at the same time, using the self-locking principle of the screw, the horizontal tube clamping mechanism and the vertical tube clamping mechanism can effectively clamp without loosening.

[0028] The thread lead angle of all threaded connections in the present invention is less than the equivalent friction angle of the screw pair, that is, the self-locking condition is met. The motors mentioned in the present invention are all servo motors. The present invention replaces the current manual measurement with a square ruler and human eye observation to achieve automatic measurement, solving the problems of slow measurement speed, low measurement accuracy, poor measurement stability, etc.

[0029] See also Figure 1When the flow meter measuring tube calibration machine provided by the present invention is used, firstly, the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is placed into the groove formed by the various mechanisms (the midpoint of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated and the center of the horizontal tube clamping mechanism 4 do not need to be completely aligned, which helps to improve the operation speed), and then the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is fixed by the horizontal tube clamping mechanism 4, and the pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 for detecting the angle of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated in the vertical section detects whether the vertical section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is within the set angle range. If not, the spiral push-pull mechanism 5 is started to adjust the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. To calibrate the vertical section, the groove block in the spiral push-pull mechanism 5 for vertical correction will push the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated in the opposite direction of the vertical direction for a certain distance. This distance is determined according to the diameter, wall thickness and deviation angle of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. After the correction, the groove block will return to its original position, and the pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 will detect the angle of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated again. If the detection is unqualified, the spiral push-pull mechanism 5 for vertical correction will continue to calibrate. After the correction, the pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 will detect again until it is qualified. After passing, the horizontal pipe clamping mechanism 4 will be loosened first, and the vertical pipe clamping mechanism 3 will clamp the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated again. After clamping, the horizontally arranged pipeline angle detection mechanism 6 will detect the horizontal section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. If it is unqualified, the spiral push-pull mechanism 5 for horizontal correction will calibrate the horizontal section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated. After correction, it will be detected again by the horizontally arranged pipeline angle detection mechanism 6. If it is unqualified, continue to calibrate. If qualified, the vertical tube clamping mechanism 3 is released, and the calibration of the horizontal section of the measuring tube 2 to be calibrated is completed.
