Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas meters, in particular to a diaphragm gas meter with temperature and pressure compensation. Background Technique
[0002] The measurement principle of a diaphragm gas meter: Two diaphragms with exactly the same shape divide a metering cavity with a certain volume into four independent and uniform metering chambers. Due to the pressure difference between adjacent chambers, the diaphragm is driven to reciprocate by the pressure difference. Thus, the inhalation and exhaust of each chamber are completed in a cycle. The rocker arm connected to the diaphragm pushes the upper connecting rod mechanism to convert the cycloidal motion into a circular motion, and drives a decimal counter to record and display the volume of the gas passing through the diaphragm volume, and the trade settlement is based on this.
[0003] We know that when calibrating a diaphragm meter, the national regulations state that it is carried out at a temperature of 20°C ± 2°C and a standard atmospheric pressure of 101325 Pa.
[0004] The indication error of a 1.5 - level diaphragm meter: When the flow rate is qt ≤ q ≤ qmax, it is ±1.5%; when qmin ≤ q < qt, it is ±3%.
[0005] According to the gaseous equation, under the same pressure, for every 10°C drop in temperature, the measurement indication error is - 3.41%. Similarly, for every 10°C rise in temperature, the measurement indication error is 3.41%. Under the same temperature, for every 1000 Pa increase in the pipeline pressure, the actual measurement indication error is - 0.98%, and for every 1000 Pa decrease in the pipeline pressure, the actual measurement indication error is 0.98%. The pressure in urban gas pipelines fluctuates (generally within the range of 5 kPa - 10 kPa under normal conditions).
[0006] China has a vast territory, with large temperature changes in different seasons in the east - west, north - south, spring - summer, and autumn - winter regions. Coupled with the fluctuating pressure in urban gas pipelines, conventional mechanical (or with additional electronic devices) diaphragm meters can no longer reflect the fairness of trade settlement, and it is extremely easy to generate economic disputes between urban gas suppliers and users, bringing additional economic losses to urban gas operators.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a diaphragm gas meter with temperature and pressure compensation. Content of the Utility Model
[0008] In view of this, the utility model provides a diaphragm gas meter with temperature and pressure compensation to solve the problems raised in the above - mentioned background technique, and specifically discloses the following content:
[0009] A diaphragm gas meter with temperature and pressure compensation, comprising a gas meter housing, a sensor assembly and a mounting assembly. A sampling hole is provided in the gas meter housing. The sensor assembly is fixed at the sampling hole through the mounting assembly. The monitoring end of the sensor assembly is located inside the sampling hole for monitoring the temperature and pressure of the gas. The signal end of the sensor assembly is located outside the sampling hole and is electrically connected to the gas meter chip for transmitting the temperature and pressure values. The gas meter chip is electrically connected to the gas meter display screen.
[0010] Further, the sensor assembly includes a temperature and pressure sensor, a circuit board and a lead wire. The mounting assembly includes a mounting seat. An installation groove is provided at the inner end of the mounting seat, and a through hole is provided at the outer end. The installation groove communicates with the through hole. The circuit board is fixedly arranged in the installation groove. The inner side of the circuit board is fixedly connected to the temperature and pressure sensor, and the outer side is fixedly connected to the lead wire. The end of the lead wire away from the circuit board penetrates through the through hole and is connected to the gas meter chip. The inner end size of the mounting seat is larger than the aperture of the sampling hole, and the outer end size is adapted to the aperture of the sampling hole. The inner end of the mounting seat is located inside the sampling hole, and the outer end extends outwards from the sampling hole and is fixed at the sampling hole through a nut.
[0011] Further, the end of the temperature and pressure sensor away from the circuit board extends out of the installation groove, and the gaps between the temperature and pressure sensor and the circuit board and the installation groove are filled with epoxy sealant.
[0012] Further, a sealing groove is provided at the position of the mounting seat close to the sampling hole, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove.
[0013] Further, a tapered sealing column adapted to the through hole is sleeved on the lead wire.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0015] In the present utility model, the monitored temperature and pressure values are transmitted to the gas meter chip through the sensor assembly. The gas meter chip converts and compensates the metering pulse signals collected at the same time, and finally displays the gas consumption in the standard state on the gas meter display screen, avoiding metering indication errors; the gaps between the temperature and pressure sensor and the circuit board and the installation groove are filled with epoxy sealant, and a tapered sealing column adapted to the through hole is sleeved on the lead wire, both of which enhance the sealing performance of the sensor assembly and the mounting assembly; a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove of the mounting seat, enhancing the sealing performance between the mounting assembly and the sampling hole.
