Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of flow metering equipment, in particular to a magnetoelectric vortex flowmeter. Background Art
[0002] The magnetoelectric vortex flowmeter is manufactured by combining electromagnetic induction with the Karman vortex principle. When the conductive fluid flows through the vortex generator, a regularly staggered vortex is formed. A magnetic steel assembly is provided on the outer wall downstream of the vortex generator. The center of the magnetic field formed by the magnetic steel assembly is equipped with a signal acquisition electrode. The magnetic flux is constant, and two rows of vortices appear alternately, cutting the magnetic field in different directions, generating an alternating electromotive force between the electrodes. The frequency of the alternating electromotive force is the separation frequency of the vortex. Therefore, as long as the frequency of the alternating electromotive force output by the electrode is measured, the volume flow rate of the fluid can be calculated. This detection method requires that the fluid has a certain conductivity. The detection of the vortex frequency consists of two parts: the signal electrode and the permanent magnet. The signal electrode is made of 316L stainless steel. The permanent magnet is neodymium iron boron. The size of the induced electromotive force is related to the magnetic induction intensity of the permanent magnet, the diameter of the signal electrode, and the speed of cutting the magnetic lines of force. The main purpose is to obtain a larger frequency signal by increasing the magnetic induction intensity of the permanent magnet.
[0003] After the upstream medium passes through the vortex generator, Karman vortex streets will be alternately generated on both sides of the vortex generator. The medium tail flow that generates the Karman vortex street, due to the action of the magnetic steel, two rows of vortices appear alternately and continuously, and cut the magnetic field in different directions, so that the signal acquisition electrode can collect the alternating electromotive force for conversion into flow parameters. According to the signal detection principle of the vortex flowmeter, when the vortex flowmeter is applied to the transportation field of conductive liquid media, since the specific gravity of the liquid medium is greater than that of the gas medium, after the liquid medium passes through the vortex generator, the vortex generator alternately generates Karman vortex streets on both sides, and the corresponding vortex flowmeter body will also vibrate, and the amplitude of the vibration is related to the speed of the liquid medium transportation. For the plug-in split vortex flowmeter, the liquid medium containing the Karman vortex street continuously impacts the plug rod, and the plug rod and the measuring tube will also vibrate. The plug rod and the measuring tube need to be sealed with fillers to reduce the gap between the plug rod and the measuring tube to prevent the leakage of the medium. Long-term continuous vibration will cause the sealing filler to leak. If leakage occurs due to loss of sealing packing, it is necessary to reseal the plug rod and the measuring tube to reduce leakage. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the prior art for insertable vortex flowmeters, thereby reducing the use of the sealing packing between the plug rod and the measuring tube under the condition that the measuring tube and the plug rod continuously vibrate, thereby reducing the frequency of leakage between the measuring tube and the plug rod, and thus reducing the number of maintenance times.

[0016] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of detail A. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a magnetoelectric vortex flowmeter comprises a measuring tube 1 and a vortex generator 2 arranged in the measuring tube 1, a plug rod 3 is arranged on the measuring tube 1, a signal electrode 4 is arranged on one end of the plug rod 3 located inside the measuring tube 1, an upper magnetic steel 5 is arranged above the signal electrode 4, and a lower magnetic steel 6 is arranged below the signal electrode 4, the upper magnetic steel 5 is sleeved on the plug rod 3, a sealing sleeve 7 is arranged on the measuring tube 1 outside the upper magnetic steel 5, a packing gasket 8, a sealing packing 9 and a packing sleeve 10 are arranged in sequence in the sealing sleeve 7 above the upper magnetic steel 5 along the direction from close to the upper magnetic steel 5 to away from the upper magnetic steel 5, and a packing gasket 8, a sealing packing 9 and a packing sleeve 10 are arranged above the packing sleeve 10. A packing pressure plate 11 is provided on the insertion rod 3, and a fixed wing plate 12 is provided on the outer side of the sealing sleeve 7. A plurality of packing clamping devices distributed in a star shape around the central axis of the insertion rod 3 are provided on the fixed wing plate 12 and the packing pressure plate 11.

[0018] The diameter of the circumscribed circle at the top of the packing gland 10 gradually decreases as the height of the packing gland 10 decreases. Preferably, the top of the packing gland 10 adopts a truncated cone tubular structure; the shape of part of the packing plate 11 matches the shape of the top of the packing gland 10. Thus, the matching relationship between the packing plate 11 and the packing gland 10 structure is utilized to facilitate the packing plate 11 to exert a downward force on the packing gland 10 when the packing plate 11 is subjected to a downward force, thereby causing the sealing packing 9 to deform under the extrusion of the packing gasket 8 and the packing gland 10, thereby reducing the gap between the plug rod 3 and the sealing sleeve 7.
[0019] When the minimum velocity of the liquid medium passing through the measuring tube 1 is too low, the liquid medium with too low flow rate impacts the vortex generator 2 to generate a wake, and since the flow rate of the fluid medium passing through the vortex generator 2 is too low, the downstream signal electrode 4 is not easy to sense the Karman vortex street contained in the wake, resulting in unreliable data feedback. For the working condition where the valley value of the liquid medium delivery velocity is too low and accurate feedback is required, the product is provided with a first rectifier tube 17 on the end of the measuring tube 1 close to the vortex generator 2, a second rectifier tube 18 on the end of the measuring tube 1 away from the vortex generator 2, and a reducer 19 on the end of the first rectifier tube 17 away from the measuring tube 1, and the inner diameter of the part of the reducer 19 gradually decreases as it approaches the first rectifier tube 17.

The medium passes through the vortex generator 2 to form a wake including a Karman vortex street. The wake is collected by the signal electrode 4 under the action of the upper magnetic steel 5 and the lower magnetic steel 6.

[0020] Turbulence will be generated after the liquid fluid passes through the tapered tube 19 and when the liquid fluid passes through the measuring tube 1. In order to improve the rectifying effect of the first rectifier tube 17 and the second rectifier tube 18, the shape of the inner cavity of the first rectifier tube 17, the shape of the inner cavity of the second rectifier tube 18 and the shape of the inner cavity of the measuring tube 1 described in this product all adopt a cylindrical structure. The inner diameter of the first rectifier tube 17 and the inner diameter of the second rectifier tube 18 are both corresponding to the inner diameter of the measuring tube 1. The length of the inner cavity of the first rectifier tube 17 is not less than 10 times the diameter of the inner cavity of the first rectifier tube 17, and the length of the inner cavity of the second rectifier tube 18 is not less than 5 times the diameter of the inner cavity of the second rectifier tube 18.
[0021] A movable wing plate 24 is provided on the plunger 3 above the fixed wing plate 12, and a second connecting screw 25 is provided on the movable wing plate 24 and the fixed wing plate 12. The number of the second connecting screws 25 is several, and the several second connecting screws 25 are evenly distributed in a star shape outside the central axis of the plunger 3. Third nuts 26 are respectively provided on the several second connecting screws 25 on both sides of the movable wing plate 24 and the several second connecting screws 25 on both sides of the fixed wing plate 12, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the movable wing plate 24 and the installation position of the movable wing plate 24; a limit ring 27 is provided above the movable wing plate 24, and a plurality of second fixing bolts 28 are distributed in a star shape around the central axis of the plunger 3 on the limit ring 27, and each second fixing bolt 28 is against the plunger 3. Installing a plurality of second fixing bolts 28 facilitates the fixing of the plunger 3.
[0022] A heat sink 29 is provided on the plug rod 3 above the fixed wing plate 12. The number of the heat sink 29 is several, and the plug rod 3 transfers heat to the heat sink 29, and the air and the heat sink 29 perform heat exchange. Installing several heat sinks 29 is convenient for increasing the heat dissipation area, so that the heat dissipation effect is improved.
[0023] The usage of this product is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, install this product to the preset installation position. When this product receives the medium transported from the upstream, the specific feedback flow process includes the following steps:
[0024] First, the flow velocity of the liquid medium increases after the upstream medium passes through the reducer 19; then, it is delivered to the first rectifier tube 17 for rectification to form a liquid medium with a stable flow velocity; then, the liquid medium with a stable flow velocity is delivered to the measuring tube 1 and passes through the vortex generator 2, and Karman vortex streets are alternately generated on both sides of the vortex generator 2, and the signal parameters of the Karman vortex street are fed back by the signal electrode 4 in the magnetic field formed by the upper magnetic steel 5 and the lower magnetic steel 6; then, the fluid medium is delivered to the second rectifier tube 18 for rectification again after passing through the wake formed by the signal electrode 4 on the plug rod 3, and then delivered to the downstream user.
[0025] In the above process, the signal electrode 4 continuously feeds back the Karman vortex street generated by the vortex generator 2. Since the signal electrode 4 is installed on the plug rod 3, the plug rod 3 will also vibrate due to continuous contact with the Karman vortex street, thereby causing the inner cavity of the sealing packing 9 to become larger, thereby causing the medium to leak from the sealing packing 9 and the plug rod 3. This product utilizes the adjustment of the positions of the first nut 14 and the second nut 15 in several of the packing clamping devices on the first connecting screw 13, thereby adjusting the compression degree of the spring 16 in several of the packing clamping devices, so that the packing pressure plate 11 can obtain pressure toward the sealing packing 9 under the action of the spring 16 in several of the packing clamping devices, so that the packing sleeve 10 maintains continuous squeezing of the sealing packing 9, even if the inner cavity of the sealing packing 9 is too large due to the vibration of the plug rod 3, and the gap between the sealing packing 9 and the plug rod 3 is increased, the sealing packing 9 can be deformed again under the continuous squeezing of the packing sleeve 10, so that the plug rod 3 and the sealing packing 9 are reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of re-sealing. When the usage cycle reaches the preset cycle, it is necessary to adjust the positions of the first nut 14 and the second nut 15 in the packing clamping device on the first connecting screw 13 again, and readjust the compression degree of the spring 16 in the packing clamping device to keep the product working normally.
[0026] Through this embodiment, the sealing sleeve 7 is installed by installing the measuring tube 1, the packing gasket 8, the sealing packing 9 and the packing sleeve 10 are installed on the sealing sleeve 7, and the packing pressing plate 11 is installed above the packing sleeve 10, combined with the fixed wing plate 12 installed on the outer side of the sealing sleeve 7 and the packing pressing devices installed on the packing pressing plate 11 and the fixed wing plate 12, so that the packing sleeve 10 continuously squeezes the sealing packing 9, and then the inner cavity of the sealing packing 9 is expanded due to the vibration of the plug rod 3. The continuous pressure applied by the packing sleeve 10 to the sealing packing 9 causes the sealing packing 9 to deform again, thereby reducing the gap between the sealing packing 9 and the plug rod 3, thereby reducing the leakage of the fluid medium from the plug rod 3 and the measuring tube 1.
