Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flow meters and relates to an elliptical gear flow meter. Background Art

[0002] The oval gear flowmeter is a volumetric measuring instrument, mainly composed of a metering housing, an oval gear rotor and a transmission component. It is used for continuous or intermittent measurement and control of liquid flow in a pipeline. The flowmeter consists of a metering box and a pair of oval gears installed in the metering box, which together with the upper and lower covers form a sealed crescent-shaped cavity (not absolutely sealed due to the rotation of the gears) as a calculation unit for one displacement. When the measured liquid enters the flowmeter through the pipeline, the pressure difference generated at the inlet and outlet drives the pair of gears to rotate continuously, continuously transporting the liquid measured by the crescent-shaped cavity to the outlet. The product of the number of revolutions of the oval gear and four times the displacement each time is the total amount of the measured liquid flow.

[0003] After searching, it is found that Chinese patent documents disclose an elliptical gear flowmeter [Application number: 202323228417.7; Publication number: CN221173501U].

This utility model adopts mechanical structure transmission and is suitable for harsh environments.

[0004] Although this patent adopts mechanical structure transmission and is suitable for harsh environments, the existing elliptical gear flowmeter embeds two magnets in opposite parts on both sides of the top of the gear on the main body, and places a signal receiver (sensor) corresponding to the magnet on the upper end cover. Since the signal receiver cannot withstand temperatures above 100°C, the flowmeter cannot be used in scenarios above 100°C. Summary of the invention

A sealing gasket 3 27 is provided between the contact surface of the upper end cover 7 and the safety cover 13, and the sealing gasket 3 27 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the upper end cover 7.

[0058] By adopting the above structure, the flow base 1 and the shell 2 can be sealed by the sealing gasket 1 25 to prevent leakage during flow measurement. The upper end cover 7 and the shell 2 can be sealed by the sealing gasket 26 to further prevent leakage during flow measurement. The upper end cover 7 and the safety cover 13 can be sealed by the sealing gasket 3 27 to seal the detection environment, prevent external dust and other debris from interfering with the detection data, and improve the effect of monitoring the flow.

[0059] A pair of flow guide grooves 28 are provided between the two gear chambers 3 , and the bottom ends of the two flow guide grooves 28 are connected to one end of the corresponding flow channel 4 .

[0060] By adopting the above structure, the flow entering the two gear chambers 3 can be guided through the flow guide groove 28, thereby improving the effect of the flow driving the elliptical gear 5 to operate.

[0061] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: by inserting the lap rod 19 into the pre-connection hole 18, and then docking the lap rod 19 with the corresponding stabilizing hole 20, the shell 22 is inserted into the two lap rods 19, and then the upper end cover 7 is placed on the lap rod 19, so that the lap rod 19 and the corresponding limiting hole 21 are overlapped and matched, so as to realize the rapid pre-installation of the flow base 1, the shell 2, and the upper end cover 7, and a plurality of fixing bolts 29 are threadedly connected with the corresponding mounting hole 1 22, mounting hole 23, and mounting hole 3 24 to realize the rapid fixed connection between the flow base 11, the shell 22, and the upper end cover 77, and then the two connecting pipes 17 are connected to the corresponding flow delivery pipes, so that the flow liquid enters the two flow channels from the flow channel 4 on one side. The gear cavity 3 is inserted into the gear cavity 3, and pushes the two elliptical gears 5 to operate, and then discharged from the flow channel 4 on the other side. A pair of magnets 1 6 on one of the elliptical gears 5 drives the rotation of the toothed pick 9 through the magnetic force between the magnet 2 12. The toothed pick 9 passing by is sensed by the optical fiber probe 16 during the rotation of the dial wheel 8, and the sensing information is transmitted to the digital optical fiber amplifier 14 through the optical fiber cable 15. The received signal is amplified and processed by the digital optical fiber amplifier 14, so as to realize the detection and measurement of parameters, realize the sensing counting of the toothed pick 9, and thus calculate the size of the flow. The worm 50 is driven to rotate by the regulating nut 3 51. After the worm 50 rotates, it will drive the worm wheel 49 to rotate, and the worm wheel 49 rotates. After the rotation, the quick installation plate 30 will be driven to flip over, so as to expose and store the receiving device for protection. Through the rotatable quick installation plate 30, the receiving assembly can be rotated out of the safety cover 13 to expose it during the disassembly and maintenance of the receiving device, so as to improve the efficiency of disassembly and maintenance. The two L-shaped plates 33 are constantly pressed and rotated during the installation of the digital fiber optic amplifier 14 until one end of the two L-shaped plates 33 fixing the anti-skid pads 34 contacts the surface of the digital fiber optic amplifier 14 and forms a clamping and fixing force on the digital fiber optic amplifier 14. At this time, the buckle block 37 is pushed into the corresponding buckle groove 35 to fix this clamping and fixing state. When the digital fiber optic amplifier 14 needs to be disassembled, the pull ring 39 can be pulled to drive the two buckles to rotate. The connecting block 37 contracts to cancel the clamping and fixing state, and the digital fiber amplifier 14 can be directly removed to improve the overall disassembly and assembly efficiency. The bidirectional lead screw 43 is driven to rotate by rotating the regulating nut 2 44, so that the bidirectional lead screw 43 rotates to achieve the relative movement of the two clamping plates 42, thereby completing the rapid fixation with the fiber optic probe 16, and before or during the measurement, the regulating nut 1 40 is rotated to make the regulating nut 1 40 drive the threaded rod 46 to rotate. After the threaded rod 46 rotates, it will be connected with the threaded barrel 45 through the thread, so as to achieve the change of the height of the clamping frame 41. Different measuring instruments have different sensitivities to distance. By changing the height of the clamping frame 41, the measurement distance of the fiber optic probe 16 can be further adjusted.The butt joint 54 is threadedly connected with the corresponding installation pipe mouth 52 to realize the pipe butt joint capability, which is convenient for the normal delivery of the subsequent flow. Then, through the two rubber sleeves 56, when the installation pipe mouth 52 continues to penetrate into the butt joint groove 53, the inner wall of the corresponding rubber sleeve 56 will be squeezed and expanded, so that the inner diameter and outer diameter of one end of the two rubber sleeves 56 will be expanded. At this time, the personnel can rotate the two control arms 60, and one end of the control arm 60 drives the corresponding rack 59 to slide, and the rack 59 further drives the stabilizing ring 58 to move, so that the stabilizing ring 58 and the enlarged section of the corresponding rubber sleeve 56 are squeezed and limited, thereby improving the stability of the pipe butt joint.

[0062] In summary, by setting the optical fiber sensor in the safety cover 13, the optical fiber sensor is kept away from the liquid flow and does not come into direct contact with the liquid. The magnetic force between the upper and lower magnets 6 and 12 drives the toothed pick 9 to rotate. The optical fiber sensor can sense and count the toothed pick 9 through the optical fiber probe 16, thereby calculating the flow rate. The distance between the upper and lower magnets can ensure that heat will not accumulate and dissipate heat quickly.
