Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass tube rotor flowmeters, in particular to a multifunctional glass tube rotor flowmeter. Background Art

[0002] The main measuring element of the glass tube rotor flowmeter is a vertically installed tapered glass tube with a small bottom and a large top and a float that can move up and down inside. When the fluid passes through the tapered glass tube from bottom to top, a pressure difference is generated between the top and bottom of the float, and the float rises under the action of this differential pressure. When the rising force, the buoyancy and viscous lift of the float are equal to the gravity of the float, the float is in a balanced position. Therefore, there is a certain proportional relationship between the flow rate of the fluid flowing through the flowmeter and the rising height of the float, that is, the flow area of ​​the flowmeter. The height of the float can be used as a flow measurement.

[0003] Ordinary glass tube rotor flowmeters can only use visual scales. Currently, there is a remote transmission glass tube rotor flowmeter on the market. A magnet is installed on the float, and an omnipolar Hall switch sensor chip is used. The measurement principle of the glass tube rotor flowmeter is similar to that of the reed switch and the Hall switch level meter to measure the flow of the glass tube rotor flowmeter. Through the 24V loop power supply method, 4-20mA current is output to transmit the flow. The 4-20mA current signal has the advantages of high accuracy and strong real-time performance, but its disadvantage is that it can only transmit instantaneous flow signals and cannot transmit more parameters. In addition, the access of the 4-20mA current signal to the host computer system such as the PLC and DCS system requires the connection of a dedicated acquisition module, which is expensive. Therefore, a multifunctional glass tube rotor flowmeter that can have both 4-20mA current signal and RS485 signal and is compatible with 24V power supply and two-wire loop power supply is proposed to solve the above problems.
