Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluid flow velocity detection, and particularly to an automatic digital display flow velocity meter. Background Art

[0002] When using a Pitot tube for velocity and pressure measurement, a Pitot tube, two connecting hoses, and two pressure measuring tubes are required. During use, as Figure 1 shown, the two pressure measuring tubes are vertically fixed by a bracket, and then the pressure measuring tubes and the Pitot tube are connected by the connecting hoses. Before detection, it is necessary to individually extract the gas in the pressure measuring tubes with the help of an air suction device, or inject water into the pressure measuring tubes one by one with the help of a water supply device to make the connecting hoses gas-free, that is, complete the exhaust work of the connecting hoses, and then the operation can be carried out, making the operation more cumbersome.

[0003] Moreover, since small air bubbles are easily adhered to the inner wall of the connecting hoses during the exhaust process of the connecting hoses, multiple exhaust operations are required, or the worker shakes or knocks the connecting hoses during the exhaust operation until there are no small air bubbles on the inner wall of the connecting hoses. This exhaust method is not only cumbersome in operation but also inefficient.

[0004] And the above structure can only directly obtain the values inside the two pressure measuring tubes. It is necessary to subtract the values of the two pressure measuring tubes to obtain the pressure difference, and then calculate the fluid flow velocity through the pressure difference. Since there are many positions to be detected (more than a dozen or even dozens) during actual operation, the above method not only wastes time but also easily causes confusion (the data of the corresponding pressure measuring tubes should be used during calculation, but in fact, they are not corresponding), resulting in incorrect results.

[0005] Therefore, we provide an automatic digital display flow velocity meter. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the background art, the present invention discloses an automatic digital display flow velocity meter.

[0007] To achieve the above invention purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An automatic digital display flow velocity meter includes a Pitot tube and two connecting hoses. The A ends of the connecting hoses are correspondingly communicated with the water outlet ends of the corresponding Pitot tubes. It also includes two coaxially and horizontally arranged containers, a water pump, and a three-way valve. The B ends of the two connecting hoses are correspondingly communicated with the two containers one by one; the water inlet end of the water pump is connected to a water source, and the water outlet end is communicated with the two containers through the three-way valve, so that the two containers can be simultaneously communicated with the water outlet end of the water pump or none of them are communicated; Both containers are provided with pressure detection devices for detecting the hydraulic pressure in their inner cavities; It also includes a processor and a display screen. The processor is signal-connected to the display screen and the pressure detection device.

[0008] Preferably, it further includes a pulling assembly capable of pulling down the connecting hose so that the connecting hose is in a taut posture.

[0009] Preferably, the pulling assembly includes a base, a vertical guide post is arranged on the top surface of the base, a slider is connected to the vertical guide post in a vertically sliding manner, and a hook body capable of hooking the connecting hose is arranged on the slider.

[0010] Preferably, a locking screw capable of locking its height is screwed on the slider, and the slider and the hook body are connected by an elastic member.

[0011] Preferably, the vertical guide post is of an n-shaped structure.

[0012] Preferably, the sliders are arranged on both side parts of the vertical guide post.

[0013] Preferably, the water pump is installed in the middle of the top surface of the base, and elastic feet are arranged at the bottom of the base.

[0014] Preferably, suction cups are arranged at the bottoms of the elastic feet.

[0015] Preferably, the display screen is installed at the top of the inner cavity of the vertical guide post.

[0016] Preferably, a horizontal sleeve is arranged on the vertical guide post, and the containers are coaxially arranged at both ends of the sleeve.

[0017] Due to the adoption of the technical scheme as described above, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Due to the settings of the container, the pressure detection device, the processor and the display screen, replacing the manometer in the prior art, it can realize the function of visualizing the flow rate of the fluid to be measured, and it is convenient and fast to know the flow rate of the fluid to be measured, simplifying the detection operation. At the same time, for a large number of detection data, a large amount of time is saved, and the result will not be wrong due to calculation errors or data errors; 2. Due to the settings of the water pump and the three-way valve, only by opening the three-way valve and the water pump can the operation of discharging the gas in the connecting hose be carried out. By closing the three-way valve, the subsequent detection operation will not be affected, realizing the function of quickly and conveniently discharging the gas in the connecting hose.

[0018] 3. Due to the setting of the pulling assembly, combined with the vibration generated during the operation of the water pump, the connecting hose in the taut posture vibrates, accelerating the discharge of the tiny bubbles adhering to the inner wall of the connecting hose and simplifying the operation.
