Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of float flow meters, and particularly relates to a check float flow meter. Background Art
[0002] A float flow meter is a device that calculates the flow rate by measuring a rotating component installed in a straight pipeline and is a type of variable area flow meter; the structure of a rotor flow meter includes a conical tube that gradually expands from bottom to top and a float placed in the conical tube that can freely rotate up and down along the center line of the tube.
[0003] However, in existing float flow meters for measuring air flow, the air generally flows directly out from an outlet opened at one end of the conical tube, which is easily interfered by the external air pressure and causes cross-flow, affecting the accuracy of the measurement results. Therefore, a float flow meter with a check valve is needed to solve the above problems.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN214743378U discloses a float flow meter with a check valve. Although this flow meter also has a check function, a check valve assembly needs to be set at the air outlet terminal, resulting in a complex overall structure and increased cost. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a check float flow meter with a simple structure and low cost.
[0006] In order to achieve the above utility model purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] The check float flow meter includes an air inlet terminal, a main body block, an adjusting knob assembly, a pressure needle, and an air outlet terminal. One end of the main body block is provided with a through hole, and the air inlet terminal and the adjusting knob assembly are respectively fixed at both ends of the through hole, and the air inlet flow rate of the air inlet terminal is adjusted through the adjusting knob assembly; the other end of the main body block extends inwardly to form an installation long hole, the bottom of the installation long hole is communicated with the through hole through a communication hole, a sealing ring and a needle-shaped guide rail are arranged in the installation long hole, the pressure needle is fixed at one end of the installation long hole, and the needle-shaped guide rail presses the sealing ring against the bottom of the installation long hole. The air outlet terminal is fixed at the other end of the main body block and is located below the pressure needle. The two ends of the needle-shaped guide rail are respectively communicated with the communication hole and the air outlet terminal, and ball bearings are arranged in the needle-shaped guide rail, and there is a gap between the ball bearings and the inner wall of the needle-shaped guide rail.
[0008] As a preferred solution: the aperture of the communication hole is smaller than the aperture of the installation long hole, and a step surface is formed at the connection between the communication hole and the installation long hole, and the sealing ring is arranged on the step surface.
[0009] As a preferred solution: the installation long hole is vertically arranged with the through hole.
[0010] As a preferred solution: one end of the needle pressing member is provided with a ventilation groove, the side wall of the ventilation groove is provided with a through hole, the ventilation groove is communicated with the needle-shaped guide rail, and the through hole is communicated with the air outlet terminal.
[0011] As a preferred solution: a limiting rod for limiting the ball is further provided in the middle of the ventilation groove, and the length of the limiting rod is greater than the length of the ventilation groove.
[0012] As a preferred solution: the adjusting knob assembly includes a screw rod with an arcuate end surface, and one end of the screw rod extending into the air inlet through hole of the air inlet terminal adjusts the air inlet flow rate by adjusting the length of the screw rod extending into the air inlet through hole.
[0013] The utility model adds a sealing ring and a needle-shaped guide rail in the flow meter main body. When ventilating, the ball moves along the needle-shaped guide rail with the airflow.

[0025] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0026] As Figures 1 to 4 shown in the check float flowmeter, which includes an air inlet terminal 1, a main body block 2, an adjustment knob assembly 3, a pressure needle 7, and an air outlet terminal 8. One end of the main body block 2 is provided with a through hole, and the air inlet terminal 1 and the adjustment knob assembly 3 are respectively fixed at both ends of the through hole. The air inlet flow rate of the air inlet terminal 1 is adjusted through the adjustment knob assembly 3. The adjustment knob assembly 3 includes a screw rod with an arcuate end surface. One end of the screw rod extends into the air inlet through hole of the air inlet terminal 1, and the air inlet flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the length of the screw rod extending into the air inlet through hole.
[0027] The other end of the main body block 2 extends inwardly to form a mounting long hole 21, and the mounting long hole 21 is perpendicular to the through hole. The bottom of the mounting long hole 21 is communicated with the through hole through a communication hole 20. A sealing ring 4 and a needle-shaped guide rail 6 are arranged in the mounting long hole 21. The aperture of the communication hole 20 is smaller than that of the mounting long hole 21, and a stepped surface is formed at the connection between the communication hole 20 and the mounting long hole 21. The sealing ring 4 is arranged on the stepped surface.
[0028] The needle-shaped guide rail 6 is a hollow tubular shape. The inner diameter of the sealing ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the needle-shaped guide rail 6. A ball 5 is arranged in the needle-shaped guide rail 6, and a gap is left between the ball 5 and the inner wall of the needle-shaped guide rail 6.
[0029] The pressure needle 7 is fixed to one end of the mounting long hole 21, and the needle-shaped guide rail 6 presses the sealing ring 4 against the bottom of the mounting long hole 21. The air outlet terminal 8 is fixed to the other end of the main body block 2 and is located below the pressure needle 7. One end of the needle-shaped guide rail 6 is communicated with the communication hole 20. One end of the pressure needle 7 is provided with a ventilation groove, and the ventilation groove is communicated with the other end of the needle-shaped guide rail 6. A through hole 71 is arranged on the side wall of the ventilation groove, and the through hole 71 is communicated with the air outlet terminal 8. A limiting rod for limiting the ball 5 is also arranged in the middle of the ventilation groove, and the length of the limiting rod is greater than the length of the ventilation groove.
[0030] The present utility model adds a sealing ring and a needle-shaped guide rail in the flowmeter main body. When ventilated, the ball moves in the needle-shaped guide rail along with the airflow. When not ventilated, the ball can fall under the action of its own gravity and press on the sealing ring, achieving the effect of preventing gas backflow.
[0031] In addition, in traditional structures such as check valves or one-way valves, a spring is usually provided. When ventilated, it is necessary to overcome not only the gravity of the ball but also the elastic force of components such as check valves or one-way valves. This structure will cause problems such as inaccurate gas flow indication. However, in the structure of this application, when ventilated, only the gravity of the ball needs to be overcome, and the flow indication effect is more accurate.
[0032] In summary, the structure of the utility model is simple, and only two small components, namely the sealing ring and the needle-shaped guide rail, are added, with relatively low cost and accurate flow indication effect.
[0033] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. Any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
