Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flow meter calibration, and in particular relates to a measurement calibration device for a float liquid flow meter. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of science and technology and the country's emphasis on energy and environment, the status of flow measurement has become more prominent, and related technologies have also made great progress, such as a variety of new flow meters are constantly put into use.

[0003] The working principle of the float liquid flowmeter is that when the measured fluid flows through the float flowmeter, the fluid forms an upward force in the tapered tube, pushing the float up. As the flow rate increases, the flow rate through the annular gap slows down, and the static pressure difference decreases, but the upward force on the float is still balanced with gravity, etc., only the equilibrium position changes. Therefore, the height or displacement of the float is proportional to the flow rate of the measured medium. By reading the position or displacement of the float, the flow rate of the fluid can be known.

[0004] Float liquid flowmeters are widely used in many fields due to their high precision, high stability and easy maintenance. For example, they are used in the chemical industry to measure the flow of various non-pulsating fluids. In particular, corrosion-resistant float liquid flowmeters are used to detect the flow of corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and oxidants. For example, they are used in the field of environmental protection to monitor flow during sewage treatment and discharge. In order to ensure the accuracy of detection, float liquid flowmeters also need to be regularly inspected and calibrated. As shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, the current common calibration method is to calibrate the tested float liquid flow meter 91 and the standard device 92 in series. The detection medium flows through the tested float liquid flow meter 91 and then flows through the standard device 92. The pollutants remaining in the tested float liquid flow meter will flow through the standard device with the medium, causing contamination to the standard device and reducing the service life of the standard device. The cleaning of the standard device after calibration is also more troublesome, wasting the cleaning medium.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the prior art to overcome the above defects in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a measurement and calibration device for a float liquid flowmeter, including: a medium source 1, a pump body 2, a control component, a commutator 11 and a controller, and the above are connected in series in sequence. Among them, the medium source 1 stores a fluid medium, which can be water, air, physiological saline, methanol, or other mixed fluids; the pump body 2 is connected to the medium source 1, and is used to generate adsorption force on the fluid medium in the medium source 1; the control component is connected to the pump body 2, and is used to control the flow of the fluid medium, which includes a flow switch 3, a temperature sensor 4, a pressure sensor 5, a pressure regulating valve 6, and a flow regulating valve 7 connected in sequence from the inlet end to the outlet end, and the inlet end of the flow switch 3 is connected to the outlet end of the pump body 2; the commutator 11 includes a first interface, a second interface and a third interface, the first interface is connected to the control component, the second interface is connected to the standard flowmeter 9 through the first pipeline, and the third interface is connected to the measured flowmeter 8 through the second pipeline; the above pump body 2, flow switch 3, control component and commutator 11 can all be connected to the controller to execute the control signal sent by the controller. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the control instructions and feedback issued by the controller are relatively mature technologies in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the flow control valve 7 is connected to the first interface of the above-mentioned reversing device 11. In this embodiment, the flow control valve 7 is continuously adjustable to achieve the collection of different flow points of the same fluid medium.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the standard flow meter 9 is an electromagnetic flow meter with a measuring range of 80-8000 ml / min, level 0.2, and an allowable error of ±0.2% of the full scale.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the pressure regulating valve 6 can adjust the outlet pressure of the fluid medium as needed, thereby increasing or decreasing the pressure of the fluid medium passing through the valve, thereby achieving pressure regulation of the fluid system.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the temperature sensor 4 and the pressure sensor 5 can be connected to the controller to feed back the temperature and pressure of the fluid medium detected by them to the controller for monitoring, so as to ensure that the fluid medium reaches the value required for the flow point detection. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 4 has a measurement range of 0-100°C, ±0.1% FS, and an allowable error of ±0.1% of the full scale. The pressure transmitter has a measurement range of 0-10kPa, 0.1 level, and an allowable error of ±0.1% of the full scale.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the commutator 11 has a first working state in which the first interface is connected to the second interface and a second working state in which the first interface is connected to the third interface; the standard flow meter 9 is provided with a first preset threshold value, and when the flow value of the fluid medium flowing through the standard flow meter 9 is less than the first preset threshold value, the commutator 11 switches from the first working state to the second working state. The first preset threshold value is the fluctuation range of the flow rate flowing through the standard flow meter 9 per unit time.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the calibration device also includes a recovery component 10, which includes a first recovery container and a second recovery container. The first recovery container is connected to the standard flow meter 9 and is used to store the fluid medium after being detected by the standard flow meter 9. The second recovery container is connected to the measured flow meter 8 and is used to store the fluid medium passing through the measured flow meter 8.

[0035] The calibration device also includes a liquid level detection component and a liquid replenishing structure disposed inside the medium source 1, and the liquid level detection component and the liquid replenishing structure are connected to the controller. When the liquid level detection component detects that the liquid level inside the medium source 1 is not within a preset range, the detection information is transmitted to the controller, and the controller controls the liquid replenishing structure to replenish liquid into the medium source 1 to prevent the insufficient liquid level in the medium source 1 from affecting the flow rate of the fluid medium, thereby affecting its stability.

[0036] The calibration method of a measurement and calibration device for a float liquid flowmeter shown in this embodiment is as follows: the flow switch 3 is turned on, and the flow regulating valve 7 is opened to the first flow point, so that the commutator 11 is in the first working state, that is, the commutator 11 is connected to the standard flowmeter 9, so that the fluid medium at the first flow point flows through the commutator 11 through the standard flowmeter 9, and the standard flow at the first flow point is measured. Then, when the fluctuation of the fluid medium flowing through the standard flowmeter 9 is small, it means that the fluid medium is relatively stable at this time. At this time, the commutator 11 is switched from the first working state to the second working state, so that the commutator 11 is connected to the measured flowmeter 8, and the flow value flowing through the measured flowmeter 8 is recorded, and it is compared with the flow value flowing through the standard flowmeter 9 to achieve its calibration; in order to improve the detection accuracy, the flow regulating valve 7 can also be opened to the second flow point, the third flow point, the fourth flow point, and the fifth flow point respectively, and the above steps are repeated each time. The detection of each flow point is repeated at least three times, and the average value is taken as the calibration basis. Among them, the first flow point can be 100% of the flow through the standard flow meter 9, the second flow point can be 75% of the flow through the standard flow meter 9, the third flow point can be 50% of the flow through the standard flow meter 9, the fourth flow point can be 20% of the flow through the standard flow meter 9, and the fifth flow point can be 10% of the flow through the standard flow meter 9.

[0037] Among them, in the above, the standard flow meter 9 is provided with a first preset threshold value, and the first preset threshold value is the fluctuation range of the flow rate flowing through the standard flow meter 9 per unit time. When the flow value of the fluid medium flowing through the standard flow meter 9 is less than the first preset threshold value, the commutator 11 switches from the first working state to the second working state. It can be understood that when the fluctuation difference of the fluid medium flowing through the standard flow meter 9 within a certain period of time is small, the commutator 11 is connected to the measured flow meter 8 to improve the detection accuracy.

[0038] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, and any other improvements made based on the concept of the present application are deemed to be within the protection scope of the present application.
