[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The utility model provides an embodiment: a gas ultrasonic flow meter noise reduction device, including a noise reduction tube 1. By installing the noise reduction tube 1 at the input end of the flow meter, when the gas flows into the flow meter through the noise reduction tube 1, it can have a noise reduction effect on the flow meter. The inner wall of the noise reduction tube 1 is provided with a noise reduction component 2. Through the noise reduction component 2, the gas flowing through the noise reduction tube 1 has a wave absorbing and noise reduction effect. A clamping component 3 is provided on the right side of the noise reduction tube 1. Through the clamping component 3, the ring 31 is easily installed or disassembled, thereby facilitating the replacement of the acoustic foam 21.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3The noise reduction component 2 includes a silencer plate 22, through which the noise generated by the gas flow can be absorbed and reduced. The inner wall of the noise reduction pipe 1 is fixedly connected with a sound insulation cotton 23, which is made of various sound-absorbing materials. The sound insulation cotton 23 can absorb and scatter sound waves to achieve a sound insulation effect. The inner wall of the noise reduction pipe 1 is fixedly connected with an acoustic absorbing plate 24, which is a plate-shaped material for absorbing sound wave energy. It can effectively absorb the sound waves generated by the fluid inside the noise reduction pipe 1 and reduce the propagation and reflection of sound. The inner wall of the sound insulation cotton 23 is fixedly connected with a spiral silencer plate 25. The spiral shape of the spiral silencer plate 25 can reduce the eddy and turbulence generated by the fluid in the pipeline, thereby further reducing the noise level. The outer wall of the silencer plate 22 is provided with a silencer hole 27, and the silencer hole 27 is provided with a plurality of groups. The silencer hole 27 can increase the sound absorption surface area of ​​the silencer plate 22 and improve the noise reduction effect.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The clamping assembly 3 includes a circular ring 31, and the inner wall of the front side of the circular ring 31 is elastically connected with a wedge block 33 through a spring 32. Through the elastic force of the spring 32, the wedge block 33 always maintains the clamping effect with the clamping groove 34 without being affected by external force, thereby limiting the circular ring 31 and keeping the circular ring 31 fixed. A clamping groove 34 is opened at the right end of the front side of the noise reduction pipe 1, and the clamping groove 34, the wedge block 33 and the spring 32 are symmetrically distributed in two groups to improve the stability of the circular ring 31.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A cavity 26 is opened on the right side of the noise reduction pipe 1, and an acoustic foam 21 is inserted into the inner wall of the cavity 26. The acoustic foam 21 absorbs sound wave energy to reduce noise propagation and reflection. The inner wall of the acoustic absorbing plate 24 is streamlined. By setting the inner wall of the acoustic absorbing plate 24 to be streamlined, it helps to smooth the gas flow and reduce turbulence and eddy currents in the noise reduction pipe 1, thereby reducing the friction noise generated with the surface of the acoustic absorbing plate 24.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 Two groups of sound insulation cotton 23 are provided, and the two groups of sound insulation cotton 23 are symmetrically distributed along the center line of the inner wall of the noise reduction pipe 1. By providing two groups of sound insulation cotton 23, the noise reduction effect of the noise reduction pipe 1 is improved. Two groups of sound insulation plates 22 are provided, and the two groups of sound insulation plates 22 are symmetrically distributed along the center line of the inner wall of the noise reduction pipe 1. By providing two groups of sound insulation plates 22, the input end and the output end of the noise reduction pipe 1 are both noise-reducing.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The outer periphery of the ring 31 is inserted into the inner wall of the cavity 26, the left side of the ring 31 contacts the right side of the acoustic foam 21, one end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the ring 31, and the other end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the back side of the wedge block 33. The fixing effect of the spring 32 keeps the wedge block 33 fixed to prevent the wedge block 33 from falling off.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The outer wall of the wedge block 33 is slidably connected to the front inner wall of the ring 31. Through the sliding effect of the wedge block 33, the wedge block 33 and the slot 34 are engaged or released. The outer wall of the wedge block 33 is engaged with the inner wall of the slot 34. Through the engagement effect of the wedge block 33 and the slot 34, the noise reduction tube 1 limits the ring 31.

[0038] Working principle: When the flow meter needs to be denoised, the staff presses the wedge 33 to release the clamping effect of the wedge 33 on the slot 34 and release the limiting effect on the ring 31. The staff inserts the acoustic foam 21 into the cavity 26 and inserts the ring 31 into the cavity 26 so that the left side of the ring 31 contacts the right side of the acoustic foam 21. The elastic force of the spring 32 causes the wedge 33 to clamp with the slot 34, thereby limiting the ring 31 and keeping the ring 31 and the acoustic foam 21 fixed.

[0039] The staff installs the left side of the noise reduction pipe 1 at the input end of the flow meter. When the gas enters the noise reduction pipe 1, part of the noise is absorbed by the silencer plate 22, and the noise sound waves are absorbed and scattered by the sound insulation cotton 23 for secondary silencer. The noise is further absorbed by the spiral silencer 25 and the acoustic absorbing plate 24, and the eddy currents and turbulences generated during the gas flow are reduced, thereby further silencing the noise. The acoustic foam 21 absorbs the sound wave energy and reduces the propagation of noise, thereby improving the noise reduction effect of the flow meter.

[0040] When the acoustic foam 21 is worn due to long-term squeezing and friction, the staff presses the wedge block 33 to release the clamping effect of the wedge block 33 on the slot 34 and release the limiting effect on the ring 31. The staff disassembles the ring 31 to open the cavity 26, making it easier for the staff to disassemble and replace the acoustic foam 21, thereby improving the use effect of the noise reduction device.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
