Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mass flowmeters, in particular to a mass flowmeter with a connection anti-leakage structure. Background Art

[0002] A flow meter is an instrument that indicates the measured flow rate and determines the total amount of fluid in a selected time interval. The substances flowing through can be gases, liquids and solids. In industry and daily life, a common method of fluid measurement and control is a glass, metal and plastic rotor flowmeter with a control valve. The rotor flowmeter, also known as a float flowmeter, consists of a conical tube and a rotor placed in the conical tube that can move freely up and down. The two ends of the rotor flowmeter body are connected to the measuring pipe with flanges, threads or hoses and are installed vertically on the measuring pipe.

[0003] Since the mass flow meter needs to measure the material flowing through it, the internal structure used for measurement is likely to cause a certain obstruction to the internal pipeline, thereby causing a certain pressure in the internal pipeline. Since the internal pipeline is short, its pressure is easily transmitted to its connecting flange, causing the material flowing through the interior to leak from the connecting flange. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to propose a mass flow meter with a leakage-proof structure at the connection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a mass flow meter with a connection anti-leakage structure, which has the advantages of being able to seal and protect the flange connection and improve the anti-leakage effect, thereby solving the problem that the connection flange of the current mass flow meter is prone to loosening and leakage when in use.

[0006] As a preferred mass flow meter with a connection anti-leakage structure of the utility model, the surface of the second sealing gasket is slidably connected with a blocking plate, and the blocking plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper mounting groove.

[0007] As a preferred mass flow meter with a connection anti-leakage structure of the utility model, threaded holes are provided on the surfaces of the combined plate and the L-shaped plate, and the combined plate and the L-shaped plate are detachably connected by bolts through the threaded holes.

[0008] As a preferred mass flow meter with a connection anti-leakage structure of the utility model, a gas nozzle is fixed on the surface of the connection flange, and the surface of the gas nozzle is connected to the inside of the airbag through a pipeline.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the mass flowmeter with a connection anti-leakage structure of the utility model, an expansion portion is provided on the surface of the combination plate near the threaded hole.

[0010] As a preferred mass flow meter with a connection anti-leakage structure of the utility model, an observation window is embedded and fixed on the surface of the closed shell, and the observation window is made of transparent material.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] In the utility model, after the connecting flange and the external flange are connected with each other and fixed by bolts, the first sealing gasket will contact with the bulge on the surface of the external flange, and the first sealing gasket can provide a preliminary sealing effect between the two flanges. At the same time, the first limiting plate will contact with the surface of the external flange and compress the first spring, and the first spring can make the surface of the first limiting plate fit closely with the surface of the external flange through its own elastic force, thereby improving the sealing of the contact surfaces of the two flanges. The inside of the airbag can be filled with compressed gas, so that the airbag can expand, thereby pushing the second sealing gasket to move toward the surface of the external flange, so that the surface of the second sealing gasket can also fit closely with the surface of the external flange, thereby further improving The sealing between the contact surfaces of the two is improved, and the sealant is injected into the glue injection groove through the glue injection port, so that the medium in the connecting pipe is not easy to overflow outward through the glue injection groove and the contact surface of the two flanges. After the combined plate is fixed to the surface of the L-shaped plate, the second spring will exert elastic force to make the surface of the second limit plate fit tightly to the external flange, so as to ensure that the two flanges are not easy to loosen. The upper and lower closing shells can be fixed with bolts through the clamping plate and the combination hole, and the inner wall of the closing shell can fit with the L-shaped plate and the surface of the combined plate, so as to further avoid loosening between the two flanges. At the same time, the closing shell can also block the leaked medium, so that the leaked medium is not easy to flow out of the closing shell and pollute the external environment.
