Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flow control devices, in particular to a thermal conduction flow switch. Background Art

[0002] The thermal conductivity flow switch is designed using heat diffusion technology. It detects the size of the flow rate based on the size of the heat diffusion. When the liquid flow rate exceeds the user-set value, the relay will operate to detect and control the flow rate. Therefore, it is called a thermal conductivity flow switch. Some people also call it a thermal conductivity flow indicator, thermal conductivity flow switch or thermal conductivity flow controller, etc. In fact, they are all the same. The thermal conductivity flow switch is based on the thermal principle and contains two resistors in a closed probe. One of them is heated as a detection resistor and the other is not heated as a reference resistor. When the medium flows, the heat on the heated resistor is taken away and the resistance value is changed. The difference between the two resistors is used as the basis for judging the flow rate. It is a flow switch with extremely wide applications and can be widely used in pipeline flow detection in various industries such as petroleum, chemical, electric power, water treatment, metallurgy, papermaking, ships and boilers.

[0003] When an existing thermal conductivity flow switch is installed on a vertically arranged pipeline, as the use time increases and the medium in the pipeline continuously impacts the probe and some fixing columns, it is easy to cause the installation structure of the thermal conductivity flow switch on the pipeline to be unstable, resulting in the risk of slipping.
