Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tuning fork densitometers, and in particular relates to a tuning fork densitometer self-cleaning device and a tuning fork densitometer. Background Art
[0002] The tuning fork density meter relies on the piezoelectric crystal located at the root of the fork body to generate vibration. The frequency of the vibration is detected by another piezoelectric crystal. When the medium flows through the fork body, the change in the mass of the medium causes the change in the resonant frequency. Then, through the electronic conversion of the microprocessor, the parameters of the medium, such as density, are obtained. Due to the excellent detection ability of the tuning fork density meter, it is widely used in industries such as food, medicine, desulfurization and denitrification. However, when the tuning fork density meter detects highly viscous and easy-to-dry media, such as starch slurry, dairy products, Chinese medicine preparation slurry, lime slurry and other media. In the case of line shutdown and maintenance, it is easy to cause a layer of medium to solidify on the surface of the fork body of the tuning fork density meter, which seriously affects the accuracy of subsequent detection. It is inconvenient to disassemble and clean the tuning fork density meter, and there is also a risk of damage to the density meter during the disassembly process. For this reason, the market is in urgent need of a tuning fork density meter that does not require disassembly. Summary of the invention
