Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of flow meter technology, and in particular to a polymer glass fiber sliding vane flow meter. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate the measurement of fluid flow, flow meter equipment is often required.

[0003] The invention patent with patent application number CN202411377438.1 discloses a turbine flow meter for flow measurement. By setting a guide tube, a tensioning telescopic component and a truncated cone structure, the jet gap can be reduced when measuring small flow processes, thereby increasing the fluid jet velocity. The high-velocity fluid drives the turbine to rotate, enabling the turbine to effectively overcome the friction between itself and the shaft. The repulsive force between the first magnet and the second magnet is used to push out the slide rod without consuming electrical energy. By setting the structure of the slider and the resistor, the cross-sectional area of ​​the current jet gap can be accurately calculated based on the change of the current value, and then the flow rate corresponding to the turbine rotation under that cross-sectional area can be accurately calculated. The pulse signal generated under small flow rate can be measured, thereby measuring small flow rate. The invention patent with patent application number CN202410866097.8 discloses a vibration-resistant and flow-stabilizing vortex flow meter. The flow channel of the fluid is formed by an arc plate and a connecting diaphragm. The arc plate and the connecting diaphragm are connected end to end to form a tubular structure. The arc plate is movably installed inside the middle tube through connecting frame one and connecting frame two. When connecting frame one and connecting frame two are adjusted in position along with the movable installation components, they will cooperate with the connecting diaphragm to adjust the inner diameter of the tubular structure, thereby adjusting the pipe diameter to detect the flow rate when the fluid flow rate changes. The adjustment drive mechanism acts on the movable mounting component through the contact component, driving the connecting frame one and the arc plate to move, thereby adjusting the position of the arc plate. The connecting ring and the docking ring are installed through the fixing ring one and the fixing ring two. The flow channel of the tubular structure is coaxially installed between the frustum tube and the intermediate tube through the connecting frame one and the connecting frame two. The docking ring is pressed on the fixing ring two, and the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the fixing ring one, thereby limiting the flow channel of the tubular structure. When the pipe diameter is adjusted, the connecting frame one and the connecting frame two slide inside the frustum tube respectively, ensuring that the dimensions at both ends of the flow channel of the tubular structure are consistent when the structure is adjusted, thereby ensuring that the vortices can be accurately counted and the flow rate can be measured when the "Karman vortex street" phenomenon occurs.

[0004] According to its publicly available technical solutions, existing flow meter equipment has two main drawbacks during use. First, due to the influence of inertia and friction, the flow velocity of the fluid is not completely consistent with the rotation speed of the flow meter, which makes it difficult to ensure the accurate measurement of the fluid flow. Second, it cannot automatically adjust the sealing pressure of the rotating equipment according to the fluid delivery pressure, which can easily lead to excessive pressure and severe wear, or insufficient sealing pressure and inaccurate flow measurement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a polymer glass fiber sliding vane flow meter.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a polymer glass fiber sliding vane flow meter, comprising: a flow-through component, a flow assembly, and a rotating component. The flow-through component includes a housing and a flange. Sealing assemblies are installed on both sides of the housing. The sealing assemblies include a front cover plate and a rear cover plate.

[0008] Optionally, the inlet is integrally formed on the top of one side of the housing, the outlet is integrally formed on the top of the other side of the housing, the bottom of both sides of the flange are welded to the top of the inlet and outlet respectively, the flange is sleeved on the outer side of the inlet and outlet, and the inlet and outlet are respectively connected to both sides of the housing.

[0009] Optionally, the front cover is sealed to the outer side of one end of the housing by a sealing ring, and the rear cover is sealed to the outer side of the other end of the housing by a sealing ring. Both the front cover and the rear cover are fixed to the housing by bolts.

[0010] Optionally, the bottom of the connector is welded to the outer side of the rear cover plate, and the top of the connector is bolted to the bottom of the flow meter.

[0011] Optionally, the display screen is bolted to one side of the flow meter, the antenna is bolted to one end of the flow meter, and the knob is bolted to the other end of the flow meter.

[0012] Optionally, the counter is mounted on the bottom of the connector by bolts, the counter is connected to the flow meter by wires, and the flow meter is connected to the antenna and the display screen by wires.

[0013] Optionally, one end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the inside of the drum, and the other end of the rotating shaft passes through the rear cover plate through a sealing ring and extends to the inside of the bottom of the connector, with the counter cooperating with the rotating shaft.

[0014] Optionally, the roller is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the roller are respectively secured to the inner sides of the front cover plate and the rear cover plate by sealing rings. The sliding groove is opened on the inner side of the roller and the sliding groove is evenly distributed around the roller.

[0015] Optionally, one end of the slider is sealed and fitted inside the slide groove, and the other end of the slider extends to the outside of the slide groove. The other end of the slider is also attached to the inner wall of the housing. The material of the slider is glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate (PC-GF), which includes polycarbonate and glass fiber. The glass fiber accounts for 30% of the glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate, and the repeating unit of the polycarbonate has the molecular formula (C...). 16 H 14 O3)n.

[0016] Optionally, the central opening is located at the center of the roller, the connecting hole is located on the inner side of the roller, the central opening is connected to the slide groove through the connecting hole, and through holes are provided on the front cover plate and the housing. A one-way valve is installed on the inner side of the through hole, and the inlet is connected to the central opening in one direction through the through hole and the one-way valve in sequence.

[0017] The technical solution provided in this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In use, the fluid delivery pipes are installed at the inlet and outlet respectively, and fixed by flanges. The fluid enters the inner side of the housing through the inlet, which pushes the sliding vane. The sliding vane drives the drum to rotate inside the housing, which in turn drives the shaft to rotate. The inner side of the housing is divided into multiple cavities by the drum and sliding vane. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the drum rotation and the pressure generated by the sliding vane moving into the groove, the sliding vane is kept in close contact with the inner wall of the housing. Thus, for each rotation of the drum, a fixed volume of fluid is delivered from the inlet to the outlet. The counter on the connector records the number of rotations of the shaft, and the flow meter displays the fluid flow rate on the display screen. This effectively avoids the mismatch between flow rate and rotation speed caused by the inertia and friction of the sliding vane, drum, and shaft, and can effectively and accurately measure the fluid flow rate.

[0019] During use, when the fluid enters the inner side of the inlet, it passes through the through-hole and one-way valve into the inner side of the intermediate port, and then through the connecting hole into the inner side of the slide groove. This causes the slide plate to be squeezed and clamped onto the inner wall of the housing. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the slide plate ensures that the slide plate is tightly clamped onto the inner wall of the housing, and the outward pressure of the slide plate is slightly greater than the inward pressure exerted by the fluid on the slide plate. This allows the slide plate to effectively maintain the sealing and isolation effect on the housing, preventing the fluid from flowing through the space between the slide plate and the housing, ensuring accurate flow measurement, while also preventing excessive pressure, reducing wear between the slide plate and the housing, and ensuring the service life of the slide plate. The slide plate is made of composite material: PC provides toughness and processability, while GF provides rigidity, strength, and heat resistance. The combination of the two significantly improves the performance, has high hardness characteristics, can replace metal, and can avoid corrosion; it also has self-lubricating properties.

[0030] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used only to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure. Rather, embodiments of this disclosure include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, this disclosure proposes a polymer glass fiber sliding vane flow meter, comprising: a flow-through component, a flow assembly, and a rotating component. The flow-through component includes a housing 1 and a flange 12. Sealing assemblies are installed on both sides of the housing 1, and the sealing assemblies include a front cover plate 3 and a rear cover plate 2. An inlet / outlet assembly is installed on the housing 1, and the inlet / outlet assembly includes an inlet 10 and an outlet 11. The flow assembly includes a flow meter 4 and a display screen 5. The flow meter 4 is installed on the top of the housing 1, and an adjustment assembly is installed on the flow meter 4. The adjustment assembly includes a knob 7 and an antenna 6. A detection assembly is installed on the flow meter 4, and the detection assembly includes a connector 8 and a counter 9. The rotating component includes a roller 13 and a rotating shaft. The roller 13 is installed inside the housing 1, and a sliding assembly is installed inside the roller 13. The sliding assembly includes a sliding groove 14 and a sliding vane 15. A communication assembly is installed inside the roller 13, and the communication assembly includes a central port. 16 and connecting hole 17, the front cover plate 3 is sealed to the outer side of one end of the housing 1 by a sealing ring, the rear cover plate 2 is sealed to the outer side of the other end of the housing 1 by a sealing ring, the front cover plate 3 and the rear cover plate 2 are both fixed to the housing 1 by bolts, the bottom of the connector 8 is welded to the outer side of the rear cover plate 2, the top of the connector 8 is fixed to the bottom of the flow meter 4 by bolts, the display screen 5 is fixed to one side of the flow meter 4 by bolts, the antenna 6 is fixed to one end of the flow meter 4 by bolts, the knob 7 is fixed to the other end of the flow meter 4, the counter 9 is fixed to the bottom of the connector 8 by bolts, the counter 9 is connected to the flow meter 4 by wires, the flow meter 4 is connected to the antenna 6 and the display screen 5 by wires, one end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the inner side of the roller 13, the other end of the rotating shaft passes through the rear cover plate 2 by a sealing ring and extends to the inner side of the bottom of the connector 8, and the counter 9 cooperates with the rotating shaft.

[0032] Understandably, during use, the fluid delivery pipes are installed on the inlet 10 and outlet 11 respectively, and fixed by the flange 12. The fluid enters the inner side of the housing 1 through the inlet 10, which pushes the slide vane 15. The slide vane 15 drives the roller 13 to rotate inside the housing 1, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The inner side of the housing 1 is divided into multiple cavities by the roller 13 and the slide vane 15. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the roller 13 and the pressure generated by the movement of the slide vane 15 into the groove 14, the slide vane 15 remains in close contact with the inner wall of the housing 1. Thus, for each rotation of the roller 13, a fixed volume of fluid is delivered to the outlet 11 through the inlet 10. The counter 9 on the connector 8 records the number of rotations of the rotating shaft, so that the flow meter 4 displays the fluid flow rate on the display screen 5. This effectively avoids the mismatch between flow rate and rotation speed caused by the inertia and friction of the slide vane 15, roller 13, rotating shaft and other structures, and can effectively and accurately measure the fluid flow rate.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inlet 10 is integrally formed on the top of one side of the housing 1, and the outlet 11 is integrally formed on the top of the other side of the housing 1. The bottom of both sides of the flange 12 are welded to the top of the inlet 10 and the outlet 11, respectively. The flange 12 is fitted onto the outer side of the inlet 10 and the outlet 11. The inlet 10 and the outlet 11 are respectively connected to the two sides of the housing 1. The roller 13 is fitted onto the outer side of the rotating shaft. The two ends of the roller 13 are respectively secured to the inner sides of the front cover plate 3 and the rear cover plate 2 by sealing rings. The slide groove 14 is formed on the inner side of the roller 13 and is evenly distributed around the roller 13. One end of the sliding plate 15 is sealed and secured to the inner side of the slide groove 14, and the other end of the sliding plate 15 extends to the outer side of the slide groove 14. The other end of the sliding plate 15 is pressed against the inner wall of the housing 1. The material of the sliding plate 15 is glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate PC-GF (Polycarbonate-Glass). Fiber (commonly known as glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate) is a modified engineering plastic in which glass fibers are uniformly added to polycarbonate (PC) resin and compounded through a special process. The glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate comprises polycarbonate and glass fibers, with the glass fibers accounting for 30% of the total. The repeating unit molecular formula of the polycarbonate is (C... 16 H 14 O3)n, the central opening 16 is opened at the center of the roller 13, the connecting hole 17 is opened on the inner side of the roller 13, the central opening 16 is connected to the slide groove 14 through the connecting hole 17, the front cover plate 3 and the housing 1 are both provided with through holes, and a one-way valve is installed on the inner side of the through hole, and the inlet 10 is connected to the central opening 16 in one direction through the through hole and the one-way valve in sequence.

[0034] Understandably, during use, when the fluid enters the inner side of inlet 10, it will pass through the through hole and one-way valve into the inner side of port 16, and then through connecting hole 17 into the inner side of slide groove 14. This causes the slide plate 15 to be squeezed and clamped onto the inner wall of housing 1. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of slide plate 15 ensures that slide plate 15 is tightly clamped onto the inner wall of housing 1, and the outward pressure of slide plate 15 is slightly greater than the inward pressure of the fluid on slide plate 15. This allows the slide plate to effectively maintain the sealing and isolation effect of housing 1, preventing the fluid from flowing through the space between slide plate 15 and housing 1, ensuring accurate flow measurement, while also preventing excessive pressure, reducing wear between slide plate 15 and housing 1, and ensuring the service life of slide plate 15. Slide plate 15 is a composite material. PC provides toughness and processability, while GF provides rigidity, strength, and heat resistance. The combination of the two significantly improves performance, has high hardness, can replace metal, and can avoid corrosion; it also has self-lubricating properties.
