Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary tools for flow measurement, and more specifically, to an adjustable orifice flowmeter. Background Technique

[0002] An orifice flowmeter is a high-range ratio differential pressure flow device composed of a standard orifice plate and a multi-parameter differential pressure transmitter, which can measure the flow of gases, steam, liquids, etc., and is widely used in the process control and measurement in fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, heating, and water supply. The throttling device, also known as a differential pressure flowmeter, is composed of a primary detection element (throttling element) and a secondary device (differential pressure transmitter and flow display instrument), and is widely used in the flow measurement of gases, steam, and liquids. The measurement principle is that the fluid flows through the throttling device in the pipeline, causing local contraction near the throttling element, i.e., the orifice plate. The flow rate increases, and a static pressure difference is generated on both sides of its upstream and downstream. The greater the flow rate, the greater the pressure difference. The differential pressure signal is converted into an analog signal output through a pipeline differential pressure transmitter, and then the measured flow rate is recorded, indicated, or adjusted by a secondary instrument or regulator to achieve the measurement of the fluid flow rate.

[0003] In modern industries, a flange is often used to fixedly connect the inlet horizontal pipe and the outlet horizontal pipe, which are connected by screws, and the orifice plate is clamped between the two for throttling to achieve the purpose of measuring the pressure difference. However, in the actual measurement and use process of this structure, especially when measuring steam media, there are often defects of insufficient airtightness, which easily affects the measurement accuracy. There is an existing patent for an adjustable orifice flowmeter, and the structure in the patent authorization number CN 211904249 U is simple, has high sealing performance, and is convenient to use.

[0004] However, in the patent with the authorization number CN 211904249 U, a handle is provided on the rotating body coaxially arranged with the first rotating shaft. When flow measurement is not required, the first rotating shaft is rotated by the handle to drive the vertical frame of the orifice plate to be arranged inside the seamless steel pipe, changing the cross-section. Since the rotation accuracy of the rotating body cannot be guaranteed when the rotating body is driven by the handle, the adjustment accuracy of the orifice plate cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, we propose an adjustable orifice flowmeter to solve the above existing problems. Content of the Utility Model

A threaded part that is screwed with the handle is opened on the outer wall of the shaft rod. A second anti-slip rubber sleeve is sleeved at the bottom end of the shaft rod, and the outer wall of the second anti-slip rubber sleeve abuts against the inner wall of the positioning hole.

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Embodiment:

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an adjustable orifice flowmeter, including a seamless steel pipe 1, an orifice plate body 2, a fixture seat 3 and a rotating body 4. Angular scales 5 are engraved on the top of the fixture seat 3, and a plurality of angular scales 5 are arranged in the radial position of the fixture seat 3;

[0032] A ferrule 6 is installed at the rotating body 4. A pointer 7 corresponding to the angular scale 5 is welded on the top of the ferrule 6, and a handle 8 is installed on the outer wall of the ferrule 6;

[0033] A positioning plate 10 arranged in a semicircular structure is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixture seat 3 close to the handle 8, and a positioning hole 11 arranged in an arc structure is opened on the surface of the positioning plate 10;

[0034] A shaft rod 12 with the bottom end extending to the inner side of the positioning hole 11 is installed through the part of the handle 8 corresponding to the positioning hole 11. A threaded part 13 screwed with the handle 8 is arranged on the outer wall of the shaft rod 12. A second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 is sleeved on the bottom end of the shaft rod 12, and the outer wall of the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning hole 11;

[0035] It should be noted that during the use process after the installation of the adjustable orifice flowmeter, when the staff drags the handle 8 to drive the ferrule 6 to drive the rotating body 4 to drive the orifice plate body 2 to rotate, the staff can judge the rotation angle of the orifice plate body 2 by observing the angular scale 5 arranged on the top of the fixture seat 3 corresponding to the pointer 7. At the same time, the shaft rod 12 is installed at the handle 8 through the threaded part 13, so that the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 sleeved on the bottom end of the shaft rod 12 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning hole 11 opened at the positioning plate 10, thereby increasing the friction force between the shaft rod 12 and the positioning plate 10, effectively avoiding the loosening of the handle 8, and further ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the orifice plate body 2.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, a first anti-slip rubber sleeve 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the handle 8, and anti-slip lines are arranged on the outer wall of the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 9;

[0037] It should be noted that by sleeving the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 9 on the handle 8 and using the anti-slip lines arranged on the outer wall of the first anti-slip rubber sleeve 9 to increase the friction force with the operator's hand, it is beneficial for the staff to operate the handle 8 to drive the rotating body 4 to rotate.

[0038] As Figure 3As shown, a threaded hole is provided at the joint between the handle 8 and the shaft rod 12, and the threaded hole is screwed with the threaded portion 13. An outer wall of the shaft rod 12 below the vane 15 is integrally formed with a limiting block 16 that abuts against an outer wall of the handle 8. The limiting block 16 is arranged in a circular structure, and an outer diameter of the limiting block 16 is larger than an inner diameter of the threaded hole;

[0039] It should be noted that the shaft rod 12 is installed by using the threaded portion 13 provided on the shaft rod 12 to cooperate with the threaded hole provided on the handle 8, and at the same time, the shaft rod 12 is limited by the limiting block 16, so as to ensure that the bottom end of the shaft rod 12 exactly extends to the inside of the positioning hole 11.

[0040] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 shown, an inner diameter of the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 is smaller than an outer diameter of the shaft rod 12, and anti-slip lines are provided on an outer wall of the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14;

[0041] It should be noted that the stability of the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 sleeved on the shaft rod 12 can be increased, and at the same time, the friction between the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 and the positioning hole 11 is increased, thereby ensuring the stability of the positioning of the handle 8.

[0042] As Figure 3 shown, vanes 15 are welded to an outer wall of a top end of the shaft rod 12, and two vanes 15 are symmetrically arranged.

[0043] It should be noted that by providing the vanes 15, it is convenient for manual driving of the shaft rod 12 to rotate, convenient for disassembling and assembling the shaft rod 12, and at the same time convenient for replacing the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 sleeved at the bottom end of the shaft rod 12.

[0044] During use: during the use process after the adjustable orifice flowmeter is installed, when a staff member drags the handle 8 to drive the ferrule 6 to drive the rotating body 4 to drive the orifice plate body 2 to rotate, the staff member observes the angle scale 5 provided on the top of the fixed seat 3 corresponding to the pointer 7, so as to be able to judge the rotation angle of the orifice plate body 2. At the same time, the shaft rod 12 is installed on the handle 8 through the threaded portion 13, so that the second anti-slip rubber sleeve 14 sleeved at the bottom end of the shaft rod 12 abuts against an inner wall of the positioning hole 11 provided on the positioning plate 10, thereby increasing the friction between the shaft rod 12 and the positioning plate 10, and effectively preventing the handle 8 from loosening.

[0045] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its improved concept, makes equivalent replacement or change, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
