[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a liquid weighing device 100 .

[0035] In the embodiment of the utility model, the liquid weighing device 100 includes: a scale body 20; a liquid storage tank 10, which is detachably connected to the scale body 20 and is formed with a liquid storage cavity 10a and a first air port 10b, a second air port 10c and a liquid outlet 10d connected to the liquid storage cavity 10a, wherein the first air port 10b and the liquid outlet 10d are spaced apart and opened at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 10 and penetrate the bottom wall of the liquid storage cavity 10a, and the second air port 10c is arranged above the first air port 10b; a floating scraper 30 is arranged in the liquid storage cavity 10a, and The liquid storage chamber 10a is divided into an upper chamber 30a and a lower chamber 30b, the outer side surface of the floating scraper 30 is attached to the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 10a, the upper chamber 30a is connected to the second air port 10c, the lower chamber 30b is connected to the first air port 10b and the liquid outlet 10d, and the floating scraper 30 is provided with a liquid inlet 32a connected to the lower chamber 30b; the upper chamber 30a and the lower chamber 30b can form positive and negative pressures to drive the floating scraper 30 to move up and down at the first air port 10b and the second air port 10c.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scale body 20 can be a commercially available electronic scale, or the style and structure of the scale body 20 can be reset according to actual detection needs, as long as it can measure the substance to be tested placed on its surface.

[0037] The liquid storage tank 10 includes a tank body 13 and a tank cover 14. The tank body 13 and the tank cover 14 can be formed of plastic or metal materials and can be circular or rectangular in shape. The tank cover 14 can be detachably connected to the tank body 13 through a thread or a snap-on structure. The tank cover 14 and the tank body 13 enclose a liquid storage chamber 10a. The first air port 10b, the second air port 10c and the liquid outlet 10d are opened in the tank body 13. The first air port 10b and the second air port 10c are respectively connected to an external air pump through pipelines. The liquid inlet 32a and the liquid outlet 10d are respectively connected to an external valve through pipelines. Among them, the valve of the liquid inlet 32a is a reversing valve 40. One end of the reversing valve 40 is connected to the inflow end of the liquid, and the other two ends are respectively connected to the liquid inlet 32a and the main fuel tank. The reversing valve 40 is provided to realize the function of injecting fuel into the main fuel tank during the measurement process, thereby ensuring that the measurement and the function of injecting fuel into the main fuel tank are carried out simultaneously. The bottom of the tank body 13 is convexly provided with an annular convex rib (not shown), which encloses a slot 10f. The shape of the slot 10f is adapted to the shape of the tray of the scale body 20, so that the tray can be partially engaged in the slot 10f to fix the two, thereby preventing the tank body 13 from shaking during the measurement process and affecting the measurement results.

[0038] In the present application, the liquid to be measured enters the lower cavity 30b through the liquid inlet 32a of the floating scraper 30, and the liquid flowing into the cavity is measured by the scale body 20. After the measurement is completed, the liquid outlet 10d is opened, and the liquid to be measured flows out from the liquid outlet 10d. At the same time, the second air port 10c injects air into the upper cavity 30a. Under the action of air pressure, the floating scraper 30 moves downward, scrapes the liquid to be measured remaining on the side wall of the liquid storage cavity 10a to the bottom wall of the cavity, and flows out from the liquid outlet 10d. After the floating scraper 30 moves to the preset position, the second air port 10c stops intake of air, and air is taken into the lower cavity 30b from the first air port 10b. At this time, the air pressure in the lower cavity 30b is greater than that in the upper cavity 30a. The floating scraper 30 moves upward, that is, moves toward the side of the second air port 10c to the initial position. After returning to the initial position, the liquid to be measured is injected into the lower cavity 30b again, and this is repeated. From the above process, it can be seen that the present application sets a floating scraper 30 in the liquid storage chamber 10a. Under the positive and negative pressures of the upper cavity 30a and the lower cavity 30b, the floating scraper 30 moves up and down between the first air port 10b and the second air port 10c, thereby cleaning the liquid to be tested remaining on the side wall of the liquid storage chamber 10a. In this way, when performing weighing measurement, the deviation between the measured value and the actual value can be further reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of liquid flow detection.

[0039] Please see again Figure 4 In this embodiment, the floating scraper 30 includes an integrally formed plate body 31 connected to a liquid guide tube 32 of the plate body 31. The plate body 31 and the liquid guide tube can also be formed of metal or plastic materials. The plate body 31 is accommodated in the liquid storage tank 10, and forms an upper cavity 30a and a lower cavity 30b with the cavity side wall of the liquid storage cavity 10a. The liquid storage tank 10 is provided with a through hole 10e connected to the upper cavity 30a. The liquid guide tube 32 is provided with the liquid outlet 10d, and part of it extends out of the through hole 10e. One end of the liquid guide tube 32 is connected to the reversing valve 40 through a pipeline. The floating scraper 30 of the present application has the functions of cleaning the cavity side wall and inletting liquid, which can further simplify the overall structure of the liquid weighing device 100 and facilitate production and manufacturing.

[0040] Furthermore, the liquid storage tank 10 further includes a guide sleeve 11, which can be formed integrally or welded to the outside of the through hole 10e, and the liquid guide tube 32 can be slidably plugged into the guide sleeve 11. The guide sleeve 11 can ensure the overall balance of the plate body 31 during the lifting movement to the greatest extent, that is, the plate body 31 will not tilt due to the pressure during the lifting movement, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect on the side wall of the cavity.

[0041] Please see again Figure 4 and Figure 5Furthermore, the floating scraper 30 also includes an elastic retainer 33, wherein the elastic retainer 33 can be made of silicone or rubber material. Preferably, the elastic retainer 33 is made of self-lubricating silicone. The inner side surface of the elastic retainer 33 is concavely formed with a snap-in groove. When it is sleeved on the outer side of the plate body 31, the outer edge of the plate body 31 is snapped into the snap-in groove 10f, and when the plate body 31 is accommodated in the liquid storage cavity 10a, the elastic retainer 33 elastically abuts against the cavity side wall of the liquid storage cavity 10a. The present application can not only further improve the cleaning effect of the cavity side wall by setting the elastic retainer 33, but also minimize the wear of the plate body 31 and the tank body 13 during the lifting and lowering movement of the plate body 31, so that the service life of the liquid weighing device 100 is longer.

[0042] Furthermore, in the present application, the side wall of the liquid storage cavity 10a is also convexly provided with at least one limiting protrusion 12, which is located between the first gas port 10b and the second gas port 10c and above the plate body 31. When the plate body 31 moves toward the second gas port 10c, that is, when the plate body 31 moves upward, the upper surface of the plate body 31 can abut against the limiting protrusion 12. By providing the limiting protrusion 12, it is possible to avoid the situation where the plate body 31 as a whole passes over the second gas port 10c after moving upward, thereby ensuring the stability of the liquid weighing device 100 in use.

[0043] The present utility model also proposes a flow detection device (not shown), which includes a liquid weighing device 100. The specific structure of the liquid weighing device 100 refers to the above embodiment. Since the flow detection device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
