BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0010] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the pumping speed test device in Example 1. Detailed Implementation
[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0013] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, the pumping speed testing device based on the mass flow meter in this embodiment mainly consists of a pressure reducing valve, a buffer tank 60, a flow meter base 10, a mass flow meter 20, a connecting pipe 30, a test tank 40, and a vacuum gauge.
[0014] Specifically, multiple mass flow meters 20 with different ranges are connected in parallel on the flow meter base 10. The inlet ends of the multiple mass flow meters 20 are respectively connected to multiple outlet ends of the buffer tank 60. The outlet ends of the multiple mass flow meters 20 are connected in parallel to the connecting pipe 30. The ranges of the multiple mass flow meters 20 are 0.1SLM, 1SLM, 10SLM, and 100SLM, respectively.
[0015] Additionally, a pressure reducing valve is connected to the air inlet of the buffer tank 60. The pressure reducing valve controls the gas pressure entering the buffer tank 60 to be no greater than 0.3 MPa. The function of the buffer tank 60 is to buffer the incoming airflow and prevent the gas from directly impacting the mass flow meter 20, thus affecting its accuracy.
[0016] The test container 40 is connected to the air inlet of the vacuum pump 50, and a vacuum gauge is installed on the vacuum pump 50 to measure the air inlet pressure of the vacuum pump 50.
[0017] Correspondingly, the mass flow meter 20 is equipped with an opening and closing valve. When in use, any mass flow meter 20 can be selected to be turned on and used. The inlet pressure of the test tank can be observed with the vacuum gauge. Then, different mass flow meters are switched to control the air inlet flow and recorded. The pumping speed of the pump under the corresponding pressure can be calculated. The maximum pumping speed of the pump can be obtained by plotting the pumping speed curve.
[0018] The preferred embodiments of the application disclosed above are only to help explain the present application. The preferred embodiments are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the application to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. It is intended that the scope of the application be limited not with this detailed description, but rather by the claims and the full range of equivalents that are claimed.
