Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of velocity meter sensors, in particular to a Doppler velocity meter sensor. Background Art

[0002] Doppler flowmeters are key fluid measurement devices that are able to monitor and accurately measure the flow rate of fluids in real time in a non-contact manner. The use of this sensor is crucial because dynamic monitoring of fluids is essential in many scientific and industrial applications. For example, in hydrology, Doppler flowmeters can help monitor the flow rate of rivers and streams to assess flood risks and water quality conditions; in meteorology, they are used to measure wind speed to predict weather changes; in the medical field, Doppler ultrasonic sensors are used to detect and image blood flow to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. In addition, Doppler flowmeters are also widely used in fields such as industrial process control, aerospace, and automotive engineering. In short, Doppler flowmeters play an important role in multiple fields because of their ability to provide accurate and reliable flow rate data.

[0003] Traditional Doppler flowmeter sensors emit sound waves into the fluid through a transmitter and use a receiver to capture the sound waves reflected from the fluid. When these sound waves propagate in the fluid, their frequency changes due to the flow of the fluid. This phenomenon is called the Doppler effect. After the sensor receives the reflected sound waves, it calculates the flow rate of the fluid by analyzing the change in frequency. This working principle enables the Doppler flowmeter to measure the velocity of the fluid non-invasively, and is suitable for various fluid dynamics research and industrial applications. When installing the sensor, you first need to use an appropriate clamp, bracket or other fixture to firmly fix the sensor in the installation position to prevent displacement in a fluid flow or vibration environment.

The block 10 and the inside of the sliding sleeve 4 are both rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 11. A pullback component is provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11. The pullback component is used to pull the block 10 back to the inside of the sliding sleeve 4. A positioning block 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 1. The pullback component includes a telescopic rod 12. Both ends of the telescopic rod 12 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11. A spring 13 is provided on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 12. Both ends of the spring 13 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11.

[0027] Specifically, firstly, the mounting plate 1 is placed inside the velocity meter through the positioning block 3, and the sleeve 4 is slid into the inside of the mounting plate 1 to achieve positioning, and then the handle 5 is driven to drive the worm 6 to rotate inside the sleeve 4. Due to the meshing of the worm 6 and the worm wheel 7, the worm wheel 7 rotates with the rotation of the worm 6, and then the push plate 9 is driven to rotate at the bottom of the sleeve 4 through the connecting rod 8, and then the four protrusions on the outer wall of the push plate 9 push the block 10 to slide inside the sleeve 4 and the velocity meter, and at the same time, the spring 13 is driven to stretch through the rotating shaft 11 to achieve the fixation of the sensor body 2 above the mounting plate 1. When disassembling, it is only necessary to rotate the handle 5 in the opposite direction to drive the push plate 9 back to its original position. At this time, the spring 13 is no longer subjected to force and rebounds, thereby driving the block 10 to return to the inside of the sleeve 4, and then the sensor body 2 can be removed, achieving the effect of convenient disassembly and assembly.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer wall of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected with a transmitter 14, the outer wall of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected with a receiver 22, the transmitter 14 and the receiver 22 are both provided with an ultrasonic probe 15, the sensor body 2 is provided with a fixing bolt 16, the bottom of the fixing bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 1, the outer wall of the fixing bolt 16 is sleeved with a gasket 17, the gasket 17 is attached to the outer wall of the sensor body 2, the inside of the mounting plate 1 is slidably connected with a sealing strip 18, the outer wall of the sealing strip 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the sensor body 2, the outer wall of the sealing strip 18 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 19, the outer wall of the limit plate 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting plate 1, the inside of the sealing strip 18 is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod 20, the outer wall of the telescopic rod 20 is sleeved with a spring 21, one end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sealing strip 18, and the other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 1;

[0029] Specifically, when the sensor body 2 is used, the ultrasonic signal is first transmitted to the water flow through the transmitter 14 in cooperation with the ultrasonic probe 15. Then, when encountering scatterers such as particles or cells in the fluid, the ultrasonic signal will be reflected back. At this time, the signal reflected back from the scatterers in the fluid is captured by the receiver 22 and finally transmitted to the signal processing unit inside the sensor body 2. The signal processing unit will analyze the frequency change of the reflected signal and calculate the speed of the scatterers to achieve the speed measurement effect. Then, the outer shell of the sensor body 2 can be removed by fixing the bolts 16 and the gasket 17 to facilitate the internal inspection. During installation, first align the outer wall of the sensor body 2 with the preset groove inside the mounting plate 1, so that the sealing strip 18 is moved to the inside of the sensor body 2, and at the same time, the sealing strip 18 is tightly fitted with the sensor body 2 with the push of the spring 21 to achieve efficient sealing.

[0030] Working principle: When the Doppler flowmeter sensor is needed, first use the positioning block 3 to place the mounting plate 1 in the flowmeter, then move the sliding sleeve 4 to the mounting plate 1 for positioning, operate the driving handle 5 to make the worm 6 rotate in the sliding sleeve 4, due to the meshing action of the worm 6 and the worm wheel 7, the worm wheel 7 rotates accordingly, and the push plate 9 is pushed to rotate at the bottom of the sliding sleeve 4 through the connecting rod 8, and then the four protrusions on the outer wall of the push plate 9 push the block 10 to slide in the sliding sleeve 4 and the flowmeter, and at the same time, the rotating shaft 11 stretches the spring 13 to fix the sensor body 2. When disassembling, turn the handle 5 in the opposite direction, the push plate 9 is reset, the spring 13 rebounds, and the block 10 returns to the sliding sleeve 4, which is convenient for removing the sensor body 2 and realizing convenient disassembly and assembly;

[0031] In addition, when the sensor body 2 is in use, the transmitter 14 cooperates with the ultrasonic probe 15 to transmit an ultrasonic signal to the water flow. The signal is reflected after encountering particles or cells in the fluid. The receiver 22 captures the reflected signal and transmits it to the signal processing unit of the sensor body 2. The unit analyzes the frequency change, calculates the speed of the scatterer, and realizes speed measurement. During maintenance, the outer shell of the sensor body 2 can be removed by fixing the bolts 16 and the gasket 17. During installation, the outer wall of the sensor body 2 is aligned with the preset groove of the mounting plate 1. The sealing strip 18 is pushed by the spring 21 to fit tightly with the sensor body 2 to ensure efficient sealing.
