Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metering devices, and particularly to an automotive air flow meter device. Background Art
[0002] In the engine management system of modern automobiles, the air flow meter is one of the key sensors, usually installed in the intake system of the engine, between the air filter and the throttle valve. Its main function is to measure the air flow rate entering the engine cylinders in real time and transmit the measured data to the engine control unit (ECU) in the form of an electrical signal. The ECU precisely controls the fuel injection volume and ignition timing based on this data, thereby optimizing the engine performance, fuel economy, and exhaust emissions.
[0003] However, there are some limitations in the design of existing air flow meter devices. Specifically, during the repair, replacement, or maintenance process of existing air flow meter devices, after the air flow meter is removed, the intake passage of the air flow meter always remains open, and it is impossible to effectively cut off the air circulation with the outside world. This design brings the following main problems: During the repair or replacement of the air flow meter, since the air circulation passage cannot be closed, a large amount of dust, impurities, and even foreign objects from the outside may be sucked into the intake system, resulting in engine failures; and to prevent air leakage and the entry of impurities, maintenance personnel usually need to take additional measures, such as using sealing tapes or temporary blocking devices, which not only increases the repair time but also may lead to an increase in repair costs; in addition, in a humid or rainy environment, moisture in the air may enter the air flow meter device, causing components to rust or corrode, further reducing the reliability and performance of the device.
[0004] In summary, there are many problems with existing air flow meter devices during repair and replacement. These problems not only affect the repair efficiency and cost but also may have an adverse impact on the performance and service life of the engine. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air flow meter device that can effectively close the air circulation passage to improve its reliability and maintenance convenience in actual use. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an automotive air flow meter device, which solves the problems raised in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: An automotive air flow meter device, comprising: A flow meter main body, which is used to detect the air flow rate inside the air pipeline; A connection component, connected to the flow meter main body, for cutting off or restoring the flow passage of the pipeline medium by its own rotation; The limiting component is located above the connecting component and is used to limit and fix the main body of the flowmeter; The air inlet and outlet components are connected to the limiting component. There are two sets of the air inlet and outlet components, and the connecting component is connected to the air inlet and outlet components through rotational cooperation; The connecting component is connected to the air inlet and outlet components and is used to connect the two sets of air inlet and outlet components to each other.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting component includes a knob. The knob is connected to the bottom of the rotating seat. A connecting pipe is arranged inside the rotating seat. Both ends of the connecting pipe are connected to the rotating seat. Two hole slots are opened on the outer wall of the rotating seat, and the hole slots on the outer wall of the rotating seat are communicated with the inside of the connecting pipe. A filter screen is embedded in the hole slots on the outer wall of the rotating seat. The surface of the filter screen is flush with the outer wall of the rotating seat. Through the connection between the knob and the rotating seat, maintenance personnel can rotate the rotating seat through simple knob operations, thereby controlling the alignment or misalignment of the channels at both ends of the connecting pipe with the connection ports of the docking plate, so as to quickly cut off or restore the air flow channel, simplify the control operation of the air flow channel, improve the maintenance efficiency, and reduce the maintenance difficulty. At the same time, the hole slots on the outer wall of the rotating seat are communicated with the inside of the connecting pipe and are embedded with a filter screen, which can effectively filter the air entering the air flowmeter and prevent dust and impurities from entering the device, maintaining the measurement accuracy and the reliability of the device.
[0008] Preferably, a ring-shaped convex structure is arranged on the outer side of the top of the rotating seat, and the ring-shaped convex structure is used to limit the rotation seat up and down. A docking port is arranged at the top of the rotating seat. Grooves are arranged on the surfaces at both ends of the bottom of the docking port, and positioning rods are embedded in the grooves. Springs are sleeved outside the positioning rods. One end of the bottom of the spring is located inside the groove at the top of the docking port. A round hole is opened at the top of the docking port, and one end of the bottom of the flowmeter penetrates through the round hole. Through the ring-shaped convex structure on the outer side of its top, the up and down positions of the rotating seat are effectively limited, ensuring its stability during rotation and avoiding displacement caused by vibration or external force, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the device. At the same time, grooves are arranged on the surfaces at both ends of the bottom of the docking port at the top of the rotating seat, and positioning rods are embedded in the grooves. Springs are sleeved outside the positioning rods. This structural design enables the main body of the flowmeter to be firmly installed in the docking port through the elastic action of the spring, not only enhancing the fixing effect of the main body of the flowmeter, but also facilitating the quick disassembly and installation of the main body of the flowmeter. The round hole opened at the top of the docking port enables the bottom of the main body of the flowmeter to accurately penetrate through it, further ensuring the close fit and precise alignment between the main body of the flowmeter and the rotating seat, and improving the measurement accuracy and working performance of the air flowmeter device.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes fixing plates. There are two fixing plates, which are welded to each other. A turntable is arranged between the two fixing plates.

The inner side of the docking plate has an arc-shaped surface. A hole groove is arranged on the inner side of the docking plate and is communicated with the connection port. A sealing ring is arranged on the edge of the hole groove on the inner side of the docking plate. The hole groove on the inner side of the docking plate is communicated with the connection port, and a sealing ring is arranged on the edge of the hole groove, effectively preventing air leakage and ensuring the accuracy of the air flowmeter measurement. This design not only improves the sealing performance and measurement accuracy of the air flowmeter device but also enhances its adaptability and reliability in harsh environments.
[0011] Preferably, adjusting bolts are arranged at the top of both ends of the docking plate. At least two nuts are arranged on the outside of the adjusting bolts. There is a gap between the adjusting bolts and the inner wall of the fixing plate for reserving a fine-tuning space. One end of the top of the adjusting bolt penetrates through the inside of the fixing plate. A scraping blade is arranged inside the docking plate. The scraping blades are distributed at equal intervals in an arc shape. The scraping blades are closely attached to the surface of the filter screen. Through the adjusting bolts at the top of both ends of the docking plate and the nuts on the outside of them, the fine-tuning function of the position between the docking plate and the fixing plate is realized. The gap reserved between the adjusting bolts and the inner wall of the fixing plate provides a fine-tuning space for the docking plate, enabling the docking plate to be precisely adjusted according to the actual installation requirements to ensure its close fit with the rotating seat and other components, further improving the sealing performance and measurement accuracy of the device. At the same time, the scraping blades arranged inside the docking plate are distributed at equal intervals in an arc shape and are closely attached to the surface of the filter screen. When the rotating seat rotates, the scraping blades can automatically clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the filter screen, keep the filter screen clean, extend its service life, and ensure the measurement accuracy and reliability of the air flowmeter. This design not only improves the sealing performance and measurement accuracy of the air flowmeter device but also enhances its adaptability and maintenance convenience in harsh environments.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting component includes a connecting rod. There are four connecting rods. Threads are provided on the surfaces of both ends of the four connecting rods. Both ends of the connecting rods penetrate through the inside of the docking plate, and both ends of the connecting rods are threadedly connected to the connecting nuts.

This design not only ensures a tight connection between the air inlet and outlet components and maintains the stability of air circulation, but also improves the structural strength and reliability of the entire device. By means of threaded connection, the distance between the two docking plates can be adjusted to ensure the stable operation of the device under various working conditions.
[0013] Preferably, a circular groove with a downward opening is provided on the surface of the flowmeter main body, and one end of the top of the positioning rod penetrates into the flowmeter main body. The outer contour shape of the flowmeter main body matches the shape of the limiting hole inside the turntable. Through the circular groove with a downward opening on its surface, precise cooperation with the positioning rod is achieved. One end of the top of the positioning rod penetrates into the flowmeter main body. This design not only ensures the firm fixation of the flowmeter main body under the turntable, but also realizes the quick disassembly and installation of the flowmeter main body through the elastic action of the spring, improving the maintenance efficiency. In addition, the outer contour shape of the flowmeter matches the shape of the limiting hole inside the turntable, further enhancing the positioning accuracy and stability of the flowmeter main body in the turntable, ensuring the measurement accuracy and reliability of the air flowmeter during operation. This design not only improves the installation and disassembly efficiency of the flowmeter main body, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the entire device.
[0014] The present invention provides an automotive air flowmeter device, which has the following beneficial effects: The automotive air flowmeter device of the present invention realizes the convenient closing of the air circulation passage and the quick disassembly and installation of the flowmeter main body, significantly improving the maintenance efficiency and the reliability of the device. Specifically, the maintenance personnel only need to turn the knob, and the rotating seat can be rotated to make the channels at both ends of the connecting pipe and the connection ports of the docking plate misaligned, thereby closing the air circulation passage, effectively preventing external dust and impurities from entering the intake system. This operation simultaneously drives the movement of the positioning rod, preparing for the disassembly of the flowmeter main body. By loosening the positioning bolt, the limiting hole inside the turntable can be rotated to align with the flowmeter, and the flowmeter main body pops out from the docking port under the action of the spring. The maintenance personnel can easily take out the flowmeter main body for replacement or maintenance without complex tools. In addition, the filter screen and the scraping blade automatically clean the dust when closing the channel to keep it clean; the sealing ring and the positioning bolt ensure good sealing between the flowmeter main body and the docking port, maintaining the sealing of the engine intake system and ensuring the engine performance. This collaborative design not only simplifies the maintenance process, but also enhances the adaptability and reliability of the device in harsh environments, providing an efficient and reliable solution for the maintenance and replacement of the automotive air flowmeter device.

At the same time, it facilitates the installation and disassembly of the flow meter main body 1 and improves the maintenance efficiency.
[0023] Working principle: When this flow meter device is in use, by docking and installing the two connection ports 403 with the air circulation pipeline inside the vehicle, the gas will enter the inside of the connecting pipe 204 through one of the connection ports 403 and then be discharged through the other connection port 403. During the process of the gas flowing inside the connecting pipe 204, the flow rate will be detected by the flow meter main body 1. Then, the flow meter main body 1 will feedback the flow signal to the terminal. When the device needs to close the air circulation channel, by rotating the knob 201 at the bottom of the rotating seat 202, the rotating seat 202 can rotate between the two docking plates 401. Through a ninety-degree rotation of the rotating seat 202, the channels at both ends of the connecting pipe 204 inside the rotating seat 202 can be misaligned with the connection ports 403 of the docking plate 401, so that the outer wall of the rotating seat 202 fits with the connection port 403, thereby closing the air connection channels at both ends of the device. When the flowmeter main body 1 needs to be disassembled, by rotating the rotating seat 202, the air circulation channel is closed to prevent the air inside the pipeline from communicating with the outside. When the rotating seat 202 rotates, the positioning rod 206 can drive the flowmeter main body 1 to rotate. Then, by loosening the positioning bolts 303, the bottom ends of the two positioning bolts 303 can be removed from the hole grooves on the surface of the flowmeter main body 1. Then, by pulling the two positioning rods 206, the two positioning rods 206 can drive the turntable 302 to rotate. The turntable 302 can rotate to align the shape of the internal limit hole 304 with the flowmeter main body 1. Then, under the action of the spring 207, the flowmeter main body 1 can pop out from the inside of the docking port 205, and then the flowmeter can pass through the inside of the turntable 302, making it convenient to take out the flowmeter; when installing the flowmeter main body 1, by inserting the flowmeter main body 1 into the hole groove at the top of the turntable 302, the flowmeter main body 1 can be inserted into the docking port 205. At the same time, both ends of the flowmeter main body 1 are limited by the positioning rods 206. Then, by rotating the turntable 302, the turntable 302 can rotate 90 degrees, so that the limit hole 304 inside the turntable 302 can be misaligned with the outer contour of the flowmeter, and the flowmeter can be fixed below the turntable 302. Then, by tightening the positioning bolts, the positioning bolts 303 can move downward inside the turntable 302, and the bottom end of the positioning bolt 303 can abut against the surface of the flowmeter main body 1, so that the turntable 302 can be connected to the flowmeter main body 1 through the positioning bolts 303. During use, the limit hole 304 inside the turntable 302 can always be misaligned with the contour of the flowmeter main body 1 to prevent the flowmeter main body 1 from popping out. At the same time, when the positioning bolts 303 are tightened, they can abut and press the flowmeter below, so that the flowmeter main body 1 can maintain a good seal with the docking port 205. Then, after the rotating seat 202 rotates 90 degrees, the two ends of the connecting pipe 204 can be aligned with the connection port 403, so as to resume use, improving the convenience of installing the flowmeter main body 1; in addition, when the rotating seat 202 rotates, the filter screens 203 at both ends of the connecting pipe 204 can contact the scrapers inside the connection port 403, so that the scrapers can scrape and clean the dust on the outer surface of the filter screens 203.
