AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing ultrasonic flow meters struggle to achieve real-time response to signal amplitude changes under complex operating conditions, and threshold adjustment methods cannot accurately identify target characteristic waves, resulting in inaccurate transit time measurements.

Method used

A dual-parameter dynamic threshold adjustment method based on pulse width ratio and transit time is adopted. The pulse width ratio is used to quickly determine the amplitude of the echo signal and perform preliminary threshold adjustment. The transit time output is combined to perform consistency verification and post-correction, and the threshold voltage is dynamically adjusted to adapt to different flow conditions.

Benefits of technology

It achieves real-time response and measurement accuracy of ultrasonic flowmeters under complex working conditions, and improves the accuracy of transit time determination and overall metering performance.

Abstract

本发明涉及一种超声波流量计双参数融合的自适应动态阈值调节方法,属于超声波流量测量领域。提供了一种基于脉宽比与渡越时间输出双参数分级融合的动态阈值调节方法,该方法包括以下步骤:S1、在零流量条件下确定阈值电压初始值及渡越时间最大允许变化量;S2、在测量过程中,通过阈值比较电路获取回波信号并计算脉宽比参数;S3、基于脉宽比进行前置判断,当脉宽比超出预设区间时对阈值电压进行调节;S4、当脉宽比位于预设区间内时,对渡越时间数据进行预处理并进行加权递推滤波,获得稳定的渡越时间输出值;S5、将渡越时间测量值与滤波输出值进行一致性比较,当差值超过设定范围时对阈值电压进行修正。本发明通过构建脉宽比前置调节与渡越时间后置校验的双层闭环调节机制,实现阈值电压的自适应动态调整,能够准确的截取有效的特征波,有效降低回波信号幅值波动及跳波现象引起的计时误差,提高了超声波流量计在不同流量工况下的测量精度和稳定性。
