Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of turbine flowmeters, and particularly provides a turbine flowmeter. Background Art

[0002] In the existing turbine flowmeter, the impeller and the shaft are connected through a bearing, and the impeller is fixed to the outer ring of the bearing. The inner ring of the bearing is in clearance fit with the shaft. Due to the self-weights of the impeller and the bearing, the inner ring of the bearing is in surface contact with the shaft, and the frictional force between the inner ring of the bearing and the shaft is relatively large. When measuring the flow rate of the medium, the impeller rotates under the thrust of the medium. However, when the medium flow rate is small, the thrust of the medium on the impeller is small, which may cause the impeller to rotate stuck, affecting the measurement accuracy.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the structure of the existing turbine flowmeter to improve the measurement accuracy of small-flow media has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a turbine flowmeter to solve the problem of low measurement accuracy of the existing turbine flowmeter when measuring small-flow media.

[0005] The technical solution provided by the utility model is: a turbine flowmeter, including: a front bracket, a shaft sleeve, a shaft, a meter head, a magnetoelectric proximity sensor, an impeller, a bearing, a rear bracket, a housing and an alloy sheet; wherein, the front bracket and the rear bracket are fixedly spaced inside the housing, the alloy sheets are two and are respectively fixed inside the front bracket and the rear bracket by extrusion of the shaft sleeve, a groove is provided at the center position of the alloy sheet, both ends of the shaft are conical, both ends of the shaft are in clearance fit with the shaft sleeve respectively and the conical tips are inserted into the grooves of the alloy sheet in a matching manner, the bearing is fixed on the shaft, the impeller is installed on the bearing with an interference fit, the magnetoelectric proximity sensor is arranged in the meter rod, the meter rod is inserted into the housing and corresponds to the position of the impeller, and the magnetoelectric proximity sensor is used for inducing an electrical pulse signal when the impeller rotates and cuts the magnetic force line, and the meter head is used for displaying the fluid flow rate corresponding to the electrical pulse signal.

[0006] Preferably, the bearing is installed on the shaft with an interference fit.

[0007] More preferably, the shaft sleeve is an alloy shaft sleeve, and the bearing is a titanium steel bearing.

[0008] More preferably, the thickness of the blades in the impeller is 0.5 mm.

[0009] The turbine flowmeter provided by the present utility model has an impeller press-fitted on a bearing, and the bearing is press-fitted on a shaft. At the same time, both ends of the shaft are designed to be conical and are in mating contact with alloy sheets to form point contact. Compared with the prior art, the frictional resistance of the clearance fit between the shaft and the bearing is small, and the impeller rotates more flexibly.

[0010] The turbine flowmeter provided by the present utility model has a simple structure, reduces the frictional resistance between components, and improves the measurement accuracy of small-flow media. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Among them, the front bracket 1 and the rear bracket 8 are fixedly spaced inside the housing 9. There are two alloy sheets 10, which are respectively press-fixed inside the front bracket 1 and the rear bracket 8 through the shaft sleeve 2. A groove is provided at the center position of the alloy sheet 10. Both ends of the shaft 3 are conical. Both ends of the shaft 3 are in clearance fit with the shaft sleeve 2, and the conical tips are inserted into the grooves of the alloy sheet 10. The bearing 7 is fixed on the shaft 3, the impeller 6 is press-fitted on the bearing 7, the magnetoelectric proximity sensor 5 is arranged in the meter rod, the meter rod is inserted into the housing 9 and corresponds to the position of the impeller 6. The magnetoelectric proximity sensor 5 is used to induce an electrical pulse signal when the impeller 6 rotates and cuts the magnetic force line, and the meter head 4 is used to display the fluid flow corresponding to the electrical pulse signal.

[0016] The working principle of the turbine flowmeter is as follows: When the medium flows into the interior of the housing, the fluid drives the impeller to rotate.
