Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat meters, in particular to an ultrasonic heat meter. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic heat meters are instruments that measure flow and display the heat energy released or absorbed by water flowing through a heat exchange system by ultrasonic methods. It uses two sensors to measure physical quantities - the flow of heat carrier and the temperature of the inlet and outlet, and then compensates and integrates density and enthalpy values to obtain the calorific value. It is a mechatronics product based on a microprocessor and high-precision sensors. Compared with household meters that have been widely used in the construction industry in the past - water meters, electricity meters, and gas meters, it has a more complex design and higher technical content.
[0003] With the gradual promotion of the concept of household metering, in order to better carry out household metering work, more and more heating companies have chosen ultrasonic heat meters. Ultrasonic heat meters are generally installed in the heat exchange loop of the centralized heating system to measure the energy absorbed or released in the heat exchange loop with cold and hot water as carriers. Due to the presence of certain impurities in the water flow, some impurities will adhere to the inner wall of the pipe or the measuring device after long-term use, affecting the measurement accuracy and accelerating the aging of the equipment. At the same time, when there are more impurities attached to the inner wall of the measuring pipe, it will also reduce the incident angle of the ultrasonic wave, thereby causing problems such as a decrease in measurement accuracy. At the same time, impurities attached to the inner wall of the pipe will also narrow the pipe diameter, thereby reducing the water flow. In the prior art, the filter needs to be cleaned frequently to avoid the filter being blocked and causing low water flow. However, the filter needs to be removed and the pipeline needs to be suspended during cleaning, which increases the maintenance cost and significantly increases the workload of the staff. In view of this, we propose an ultrasonic heat meter. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide an ultrasonic heat meter that can solve the problem of decreased measurement accuracy and reduced flow rate caused by impurities adhering to the inner wall of the pipeline.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an ultrasonic heat meter, comprising an installation pipe, flanges are provided on the left and right sides of the installation pipe, the surfaces on the opposite sides of the two flanges are fixedly connected with an input pipe and an output pipe, a mounting ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the installation pipe, a filter column is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation pipe, a filter groove extending from the right side surface of the filter column is provided on the left side surface, a first filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter groove, a dirt storage groove is provided on the right side surface of the filter column, a drainage groove communicating with the inside of the dirt storage groove is provided on the left side surface of the filter column, a driving ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the driving ring, an S-shaped cleaning rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the driving ring, first sealing rings are fixedly connected to the left and right side surfaces of the driving ring, and a driving assembly is provided on the installation ring.
[0006] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a knob, which is rotatably connected to the left surface of the mounting ring, and a driving shaft is fixedly connected to the right surface of the knob, and the driving shaft rotatably penetrates into the interior of the mounting ring.
[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the drive ring is provided with teeth, the outer surface of the drive ring extends into the interior of the mounting ring, and the right end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected with a gear, which is engaged with the teeth.
[0008] Preferably, the left side surface of the S-shaped cleaning rod is in contact with the first filter screen.
[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the installation pipe is fixedly connected with a mounting platform, the upper surface of the mounting platform is provided with a heat meter body, and the upper surface of the heat meter body is rotatably connected with a sealing cover.
[0010] Preferably, a second sealing ring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sealing cover, and a sealing groove matched with the second sealing ring is formed on the upper surface of the heat meter body.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0012] The ultrasonic heat meter, when operating normally, allows hot water to enter the interior of the installation pipe through the input pipe, be measured after being filtered through the first filter screen, and be output through the output pipe. When dirt is attached to the first filter screen due to long-term use, the drive ring is driven to rotate by the drive assembly on the installation ring, and the S-shaped cleaning rod is driven to rotate after the drive ring rotates. After the S-shaped cleaning rod rotates, the dirt on the first filter screen is scraped out, and the scraped dirt is pushed to the surroundings of the first filter screen by using its S shape. The scraped dirt enters the interior of the dirt storage tank, and the water flow is discharged through the drainage tank. Through the above structure, when dirt is attached to the first filter screen due to long-term use, the first filter screen can be cleaned by the drive assembly in cooperation with the S-shaped cleaning rod, and the dirt is pushed to the interior of the dirt storage tank, making the work of cleaning the first filter screen simpler and more convenient, reducing the frequency of disassembly and cleaning, and the interior of the dirt storage tank can be cleaned after a long time.
[0013] The ultrasonic heat meter drives the driving shaft to rotate by a knob, and the driving shaft drives the gear to rotate synchronously after the driving shaft rotates. After the gear rotates, it cooperates with the teeth to drive the driving ring to rotate, thereby completing the cleaning. At the same time, when protecting the heat meter body, after the sealing cover is closed, the second sealing ring and the sealing groove cooperate to improve the sealing of the heat meter body dial. Through the above structure, not only can the cleaning be made more convenient, but the sealing of the dial can also be improved through the cooperation of the second sealing ring and the sealing groove, thereby preventing impurities in the outside air or objects such as rainwater from contacting the dial, thereby causing aging or corrosion of the dial, and improving the service life of the dial.
