Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic measurement technology, and more specifically to an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure and an ultrasonic water meter. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic water meters are widely used in flow measurement due to their advantages such as high measurement accuracy, wide range, and no mechanical wear. Existing ultrasonic water meters typically employ a pipe section structure, using reflectors within the pipe section to allow ultrasonic waves to propagate along a specific path between the transmitting and receiving probes, and then calculating the fluid velocity using the time-of-flight method.

[0003] Regarding the installation methods of reflectors, there are several typical solutions in the prior art. For example, as described in Chinese Patent CN202421082020.3, the reflector is installed on the axis of the pipe section. Although this method can achieve ultrasonic wave reflection, it is prone to causing significant pressure loss and can easily lead to blockage by foreign objects. Another method is to directly fix the reflector to the inner wall of the pipe section. This method requires high precision in the pipe section processing, increasing manufacturing costs. In addition, there are solutions that install the reflector on the inner liner pipe. However, to ensure the ultrasonic wave reflection path, the transmitting and receiving probes need to be tilted. This not only increases the processing difficulty of the pipe section but also easily forms eddies inside the pipe section, adversely affecting the stability of the flow field.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively reduce pressure loss, simplify processing technology and control manufacturing costs while ensuring reliable fixation of the reflector has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in the existing ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure.

[0030] Example 1 Figure 1 This is an exploded view of an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure proposed in this invention. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure proposed in this invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention proposes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure, connected in series with a flow channel to measure the flow velocity of fluid flowing through the channel. The ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure includes: a pipe body 1, connected in series at both ends of the flow channel to form an inlet and an outlet respectively; a first mounting through hole 2 and a second mounting through hole 3 are provided on the top of the pipe body 1; a transmitting probe 4 for transmitting ultrasonic waves; a receiving probe 5 for receiving ultrasonic waves; an inner liner 6, nested inside the pipe body, with a third through hole 7 and a fourth through hole 8 at its top; and a reflector, including a first reflector 9, a second reflector 10, and a central reflector 11. The first reflector 9 and the second reflector 10 are respectively matched with the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5, and are located directly opposite the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5; the central reflector 11 is located on the same side of the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5; the first reflector 9 and the second reflector 10 are respectively fixed to the bottom surface of the inner liner tube 6; the central reflector 11 is fixed to the top of the inner liner tube 6; the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 are fixedly installed in the first mounting through hole 2 and the second mounting through hole 3, and the transmitting surfaces of the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 pass through the third through hole 7 and the fourth through hole 8 and are flush with the inner surface.

[0031] In this embodiment, both the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 are transducers, but other sensors can also be selected according to the actual situation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner liner tube 6 has a rectangular cross-section. The inner liner tube 6 comprises two parts, namely a first component 12 and a second component 13. The first component 12 and the second component 13 are axially symmetrical to avoid mixing during installation.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the first reflector 9 and the second reflector 10 are in sheet form, maintaining the same shape and size to reduce processing costs and lower identification costs during assembly. Each of the first reflector 9 and the second reflector 10 has two radially outward-protruding snap-fit ​​portions on its edges. The inner walls of the first component 12 and the second component 13 of the inner liner tube 6 are provided with a first positioning hole 14 and a second positioning hole 15. The two snap-fit ​​portions of the first reflector 9 and the second reflector 10 are embedded in the corresponding positioning holes for fixation. The reflectors are made of metal and their surfaces can be polished. The central reflector 11 is rectangular in shape. The inner walls of the first component 12 and the second component 13 of the inner liner tube 6 are provided with a third slot 16 and a fourth slot 17. A portion of the central reflector 11 is inserted into the third slot 16, and a portion into the fourth slot 17. The central reflector is made of metal and its surface can be polished; the other side can be frosted for identification. All the shapes and materials of the reflectors and reflectors can be modified according to actual needs and are not limited to the shapes and materials mentioned above. The above fixing method can ensure that the reflector or reflective sheet is firmly fixed on the inner liner tube 6, preventing the reflector or reflective sheet from being washed away by the impact of flowing water. It also takes into account the need for convenient installation and reduced processing costs.

[0034] This solution proposes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure with a W-shaped sound channel. The transducer is installed perpendicular to the pipe body, and the reflector is installed on the inner liner. Different snap-fit ​​structures are set on the inner liner, which simplifies the installation process, reduces costs, and improves reflectivity and enhances signal strength. Example

[0035] This invention proposes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure, connected in series with a flow channel to measure the flow velocity of fluid flowing through the channel. The ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure includes: a pipe body 1, connected in series at both ends of the flow channel to form an inlet and an outlet respectively; a first mounting through hole 2 and a second mounting through hole 3 are provided on the top of the pipe body 1; a transmitting probe 4 for transmitting ultrasonic waves; a receiving probe 5 for receiving ultrasonic waves; an inner liner 6, nested inside the pipe body, with a third through hole 7 and a fourth through hole 8 at its top; and a reflector, including a first reflector 9, a second reflector 10, and a central reflector 11; the first... Reflector 9 and second reflector 10 are respectively matched with transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5, and are located directly opposite transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5; the central reflector 11 is located on the same side of transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5; the first reflector 9 and second reflector 10 are respectively fixed to the bottom surface of inner liner tube 6; the central reflector 11 is fixed to the top of inner liner tube 6; transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5 are fixedly installed in the first mounting through hole 2 and the second mounting through hole 3, and the emitting surfaces of transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5 pass through the third through hole 7 and the fourth through hole 8 and are flush with the inner surface.

[0036] In this design, a radial sealing structure is provided between the inner liner 6 and the pipe body 1. This radial sealing structure includes an annular support portion 18 and an elastic sealing ring 19 disposed on the outer wall of the inner liner. An annular groove is formed on the surface of the annular support portion 18, and the elastic sealing ring 19 is embedded within the annular groove. This radial sealing structure effectively fixes the inner liner. Furthermore, the transducer passes through the first mounting through-hole 2 and the third through-hole 7, which also helps to fix the inner liner. The combined effect of these two structures ensures that the inner liner 7 remains stationary. The elastic sealing ring 19, secured within the annular groove, also prevents movement. This radial sealing structure ensures that the inner liner 6 will not move with the water flow, thus preventing any impact on metering.

[0037] The above is only the sealing method of this embodiment. This patent is not limited to the above sealing method, and the sealing method can be adjusted according to actual needs. Example

[0038] This invention proposes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure, connected in series with a flow channel to measure the flow velocity of fluid flowing through the channel. The ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure includes: a pipe body 1, connected in series at both ends of the flow channel to form an inlet and an outlet respectively; a first mounting through hole 2 and a second mounting through hole 3 are provided on the top of the pipe body 1; a transmitting probe 4 for transmitting ultrasonic waves; a receiving probe 5 for receiving ultrasonic waves; an inner liner 6, nested inside the pipe body, with a third through hole 7 and a fourth through hole 8 at its top; and a reflector, including a first reflector 9, a second reflector 10, and a central reflector 11; the first... Reflector 9 and second reflector 10 are respectively matched with transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5, and are located directly opposite transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5; the central reflector 11 is located on the same side of transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5; the first reflector 9 and second reflector 10 are respectively fixed to the bottom surface of inner liner tube 6; the central reflector 11 is fixed to the top of inner liner tube 6; transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5 are fixedly installed in the first mounting through hole 2 and the second mounting through hole 3, and the emitting surfaces of transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5 pass through the third through hole 7 and the fourth through hole 8 and are flush with the inner surface.

[0039] This solution also includes a rectifier grid 20, which can be installed at the inlet of the pipe, at the outlet, or at both the inlet and outlet. The rectifier grid 20 has a rectifying effect, which helps to improve metering accuracy. Example

[0040] This invention proposes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure, connected in series with a flow channel to measure the flow velocity of fluid flowing through the channel. The ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure includes: a pipe body 1, connected in series at both ends of the flow channel to form an inlet and an outlet respectively; a first mounting through hole 2 and a second mounting through hole 3 are provided on the top of the pipe body 1; a transmitting probe 4 for transmitting ultrasonic waves; a receiving probe 5 for receiving ultrasonic waves; an inner liner 6, nested inside the pipe body, with a third through hole 7 and a fourth through hole 8 at its top; and a reflector, including a first reflector 9, a second reflector 10, and a central reflector 11; the first... Reflector 9 and second reflector 10 are respectively matched with transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5, and are located directly opposite transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5; the central reflector 11 is located on the same side of transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5; the first reflector 9 and second reflector 10 are respectively fixed to the bottom surface of inner liner tube 6; the central reflector 11 is fixed to the top of inner liner tube 6; transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5 are fixedly installed in the first mounting through hole 2 and the second mounting through hole 3, and the emitting surfaces of transmitting probe 4 and receiving probe 5 pass through the third through hole 7 and the fourth through hole 8 and are flush with the inner surface.

[0041] This solution also includes a transmitting probe pressure plate 21 and a receiving probe pressure plate 22, which are fixed to the tube body by bolts, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the pressure plate has two threaded holes on its outer periphery, which are used to fix it to the first mounting through hole 2 and the second mounting through hole 3 on the tube body 1, respectively. The purpose of setting the pressure plate is to fix the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5, so as to ensure that the two probes do not move, thereby ensuring the measurement performance.

[0042] This solution also includes a PCB box 23, in which a PCB board 24 is installed; a portion of the transmitting probe pressure plate 21 and the receiving probe pressure plate 22 are inserted into the PCB box 23; the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 are electrically connected to the PCB board 24 respectively. Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the connection between the transmitting probe plate and the receiving probe plate and the PCB box. A circular hole is formed in the center of the plate, and a protrusion on one side allows it to be inserted into the PCB box 23. The signal lines of the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 pass through the circular hole and connect to the PCB, either by soldering or by insertion. The signal lines can be ordinary signal lines or shielded / FPC lines resistant to electromagnetic interference. This layout prevents the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 from being affected by electromagnetic fields and also secures the PCB box 23.

[0043] This solution proposes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure. By using a transmitting probe pressure plate and a receiving probe pressure plate, the transmitting probe and receiving probe are fixed in the pipe section, which also serves to fix the PCB box, achieving a dual-purpose effect and reducing costs. The connection method between the transmitting probe and the receiving probe and the PCB board respectively also avoids signal interference. Example

[0044] An ultrasonic water meter includes an ultrasonic water meter pipe section structure as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0045] During the installation of the ultrasonic water meter pipe section, the first step is to assemble the inner liner pipe. The first reflector 9, the second reflector 10, and the central reflector 11 are respectively installed into the first component 12 and the second component 13 of the inner liner pipe. Then, the elastic sealing ring 19 is embedded in the annular groove of the annular bearing part 18. Generally, two elastic sealing rings are selected, which can not only play a fixing role, but also reduce costs. The second step is to insert the assembled inner liner into the tube body 1, ensuring that the third through hole 7 and the first mounting through hole 2 are aligned, and the fourth through hole 8 and the second mounting through hole 3 are aligned. The third step is to install the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5. The fourth step is to assemble the transmitting probe pressure plate 21 and the receiving probe pressure plate 22 with the PCB box, and then fix them to the tube section assembled in the third step with bolts. During this process, the signal lines of the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 need to be passed through the central circular holes of the transmitting probe pressure plate 21 and the receiving probe pressure plate 22 and introduced into the PCB box. The fifth step is to install the rectifier grille 20 as required. The sixth step is to put the PCB into the PCB box and connect the transmitting probe 4 and the receiving probe 5 to the PCB by soldering or plugging.

[0046] This embodiment is not limited to the above installation steps. Some steps may be adjusted or added according to the actual situation. Of course, some tooling may be needed in this process. The structure or function of the tooling is not within the scope of protection of this patent, so it will not be described in detail.

[0047] This solution proposes an ultrasonic water meter that improves the positioning accuracy of the reflector and ensures measurement consistency through comprehensive optimization of various aspects, including the installation method of the reflector, the structure of the inner liner tube, the fixing method of the probe, the sealing structure, and the flow rectifier grid. It also optimizes the probe installation method, reduces eddies, improves flow field stability, and reduces pressure loss, thereby comprehensively improving the product's performance and reliability.
