Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flow meters, and particularly to an improved swirl flow meter. Background Technique

[0002] The swirl flow meter adopts advanced microprocessing technology and has the advantages of strong functions, wide flow range, simple operation and maintenance, and convenient installation and use. Its working principle is as follows: When the fluid passes through the swirl generator composed of spiral blades, the fluid is forced to rotate violently around the axis of the body, forming a swirl. When the fluid enters the diffuser section, the swirl flow is affected by the backflow and starts to rotate secondly, forming a gyroscopic eddy precession phenomenon. The precession frequency is proportional to the flow rate and is not affected by the physical properties and density of the fluid. The detection element measures the secondary rotation precession frequency of the fluid.

[0003] The utility model patent application document with the publication number of "CN218628445U" discloses a swirl flow meter, which mainly consists of a shell, a flow display instrument, a swirl generator, a swirl eliminator, a filter and a maintenance cover. In this technical solution, a filter groove is also opened inside one end of the shell, and a filter is clamped inside the filter groove, so that gas or liquid can be filtered to prevent large particles from blocking the swirl generator and affecting the swirl generation effect. Moreover, a limit seat is installed at the upper end of the filter groove, and a maintenance cover is installed outside the limit seat, which is convenient for disassembling, installing and positioning the filter, and the disassembly, installation and maintenance are convenient and fast.

[0004] The swirl flow meter disclosed in the above document has the following defects: The swirl flow meter is installed inside the shell. When the passing medium contains bubbles and flows inside the shell, when the bubbles rub against the electrodes of the flow meter, the entire electrodes will be covered, causing the signal input circuit of the flow meter to open instantaneously, resulting in fluctuations in the output signal, thereby affecting the measurement result and causing deviation.

[0005] It can be seen from this that the existing swirl flow meter does not have a structure for eliminating bubbles in the medium, and it is necessary to improve the existing deficiencies to provide an improved swirl flow meter. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an improved swirl flow meter to solve the problems put forward in the above background technique.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The utility model relates to an improved swirling vortex flowmeter, which comprises a through pipe. A cylinder body is installed inside the through pipe. The cylinder body is a single-side closed cylinder. A plurality of filter holes and an installation hole are formed on the outer surface of the cylinder body. An anti-foaming component is installed inside the installation hole. The anti-foaming component comprises a rotating shaft, a first bearing, a second bearing, spiral blades and a connecting plate. The first bearing is installed inside the installation hole. A plurality of spiral blades are arranged on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A connecting plate is arranged on the outer surface of the second bearing. The two connecting plates are fixed and symmetrically arranged. The other end of the connecting plate is installed on the inner surface of the through pipe. The rotating shafts are installed at the axles of the first bearing and the second bearing respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is arranged on the outer surface of the through pipe. A connecting seat is arranged at the end of the connecting pipe far away from the through pipe. A second bolt is installed inside the connecting seat. The through pipe is installed with a flow display instrument through the second bolt. The output end of the flow display instrument extends into the through pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, two installation pipes are fixed and symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the through pipe. A fixing component is arranged inside the installation pipe. A limiting groove is formed on the outer surface of the cylinder body. One end of the limiting groove penetrates through the cylinder body and extends outwards. A limiting hole is formed on the inner surface of the limiting groove. The limiting groove and the limiting hole are both fixed and symmetrically arranged in two.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component comprises a pulling block, a connecting rod, a sliding plate, a spring, a limiting block and a limiting post. A connecting rod is arranged at one end of the pulling block. A sliding plate is arranged on the outer surface of the connecting rod. A limiting block is arranged at the end of the connecting rod far away from the pulling block. A limiting post is arranged at the end of the limiting block far away from the connecting rod. A spring is arranged at one end of the sliding plate. The other end of the spring is arranged on the outer surface of the through pipe. The sliding plate is slidably connected inside the installation pipe. The limiting block is installed inside the limiting groove. The limiting post is installed inside the limiting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a sliding groove is formed on the inner surface of the installation pipe. A sliding block is arranged on the outer surface of the sliding plate. The sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. External threads are formed on the outer surface of the installation pipe. The installation pipe is installed with a cover body through the external threads. An abutting block is arranged on the lower surface of the cover body. The outer surface of the abutting block abuts against the outer surface of the pulling block. Anti-slip stripes are formed on the outer surface of the pulling block.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) By the combined use of the cylinder body and the defoaming component provided in the utility model, the medium flowing into the inner part of the through pipe can be filtered first, and the filtered medium is then defoamed by the spiral blades and the defoaming needles, reducing the influence on the measurement result of the swirling vortex flowmeter due to the existence of bubbles in the medium, and having good practicability.

[0016] (2) By the fixed component provided in the utility model, the cylinder body can be fixedly installed inside the through pipe. At the same time, pulling the pull block outward makes the pull block drive the sliding plate to move outward, stretching the spring. Meanwhile, the connecting rod drives the limiting block to disengage from the limiting groove and the limiting hole, separating the cylinder body from the through pipe, which is convenient for cleaning and replacing the cylinder body.

[0017] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the utility model to achieve all the above-mentioned advantages simultaneously. Description of the Drawings

Both the limiting groove 203 and the limiting hole 204 are fixed in two and symmetrically arranged.

[0032] The fixing component 6 includes a pulling block 601, a connecting rod 602, a sliding plate 603, a spring 604, a limiting block 605 and a limiting post 606.
