[0028] See also Figure 3 A transmission shaft 9 is rotatably installed between the two guide rods 12, and a plurality of turbine blades 14 are evenly and fixedly installed on the outer side of the transmission shaft 9.
[0029] See also Figure 3 A sensor 8 is also provided in the side wall of the housing 1. The sensor 8 is located above the turbine blade 14. The sensor 8 is electrically connected to the PLC circuit board 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, during use, after the user starts the heater controller 3 through the control terminal, the heater controller 3 can enable the heater 11 to work in the heating tube 4. At this time, the heater 11 can heat the outer wall of the shell 1, and the shell 1 made of stainless steel has good thermal conductivity. At this time, the temperature in the shell 1 can rise rapidly, and the solidified butter in the shell 1 can be melted, which can prevent the solidified butter from affecting the rotation of the transmission shaft 9, which is beneficial to the normal rotation of the turbine blades 14, can ensure the accuracy of the butter flow monitoring, and can prevent errors in the butter flow monitoring.
[0031] Embodiment 2:
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 4 A butter physical refining flowmeter also includes: a sealing component arranged on the outside of the flange 2, the sealing component includes a connecting tube 15 fixedly installed on the side wall of the flange 2, and a sealing ring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting tube 15, and the thickness of the sealing ring 10 is greater than the thickness of the connecting tube 15.
[0033] See also Figure 4 The sealing ring 10 is made of rubber material, and a plurality of anti-sliding blocks 16 are evenly and fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting tube 15.
[0034] In this embodiment, when in use, the sealing ring 10 can seal between the housing 1 and the oil pipeline when the flange 2 is installed. Since the thickness of the connecting tube 15 is less than the thickness of the sealing ring 10, the sealing ring 10 can fit tightly with the oil pipeline at this time to ensure the sealing effect. The anti-sliding block 16 arranged on the outer wall of the connecting tube 15 can increase the friction between the sealing ring 10 and the connecting tube 15, and can prevent the sealing ring 10 from falling off from the connecting tube 15 when the housing 1 is removed, which is conducive to the long-term use of the sealing ring 10.
[0035] Working principle: First, the shell 1 is installed through the mounting hole on the flange 2. The sealing ring 10 can seal the shell 1 and the oil pipeline when the flange 2 is installed. Since the thickness of the connecting tube 15 is less than the thickness of the sealing ring 10, the sealing ring 10 can fit tightly with the oil pipeline to ensure the sealing effect. The anti-sliding block 16 arranged on the outer wall of the connecting tube 15 can increase the friction between the sealing ring 10 and the connecting tube 15, and can prevent the sealing ring 10 from falling off from the connecting tube 15 when the shell 1 is removed, which is conducive to the long-term use of the sealing ring 10. When monitoring the flow rate, the user starts the heater controller 3 through the control terminal. At this time, the heater controller 3 can enable the heater 11 to work in the heating tube 4. At this time, the heater 11 can heat the outer wall of the shell 1 Heat, and the stainless steel shell 1 has good thermal conductivity. At this time, the temperature in the shell 1 can rise quickly, and the solidified butter in the shell 1 can be melted, which can prevent the solidified butter from affecting the rotation of the transmission shaft 9, which is beneficial to the normal rotation of the turbine blade 14, and can ensure the accuracy of the butter flow monitoring, and can prevent errors in the butter flow monitoring. The diverter plate 13 on the guide rod 12 can divert the butter. When the butter passes through the turbine blade 14, the turbine blade 14 can rotate. Since the aperture of the shell 1 remains unchanged, the rotation speed of the turbine blade 14 is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. The sensor 8 can monitor the rotation speed of the turbine blade 14 and send an electrical signal. After this electrical signal is transmitted to the PLC circuit board 7, the cumulative amount of butter passing through can be observed through the display screen 5.
