Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flow measurement, and in particular to a volumetric flow measurement device and an underground drainage system using the volumetric flow measurement device. Background Art
[0002] At present, conventional flow monitoring devices require a large amount of maintenance and need to be calibrated regularly to ensure the correctness of detection data. In addition, there are specific requirements for the flow test environment, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of test results. For example, electromagnetic flowmeters need to be metered as much as possible in a full-pipe state, and the pipeline interior needs to be relatively clean and free of blockages. Flow monitoring devices such as ultrasonic Doppler flowmeters and radar flowmeters generally need to measure the point velocity or line velocity of the fluid inside the pipeline first, and then obtain the overall pipeline flow through an internal algorithm. During this process, the flow monitoring value may be distorted, and in small-flow scenarios, such as when the water is shallow and the flow velocity is slow, it is very likely to exceed its flow detection lower limit. In municipal drainage pipe networks, especially rainwater pipe networks, the rain and sewage in the pipelines often show a state of small flow, low velocity, and intermittent flow during the low peak period (or dry days). It is usually difficult to measure the flow of such fluids through existing flow measurement devices.
[0003] In this regard, Chinese invention patent CN113551723A provides a fully automatic measurement device, which sets at least two float level gauges between the horizontal heights corresponding to the drainage trigger point and the stop drainage point in the water collection box, and calculates the flow according to the relationship between the time and volume consumed by the liquid level from one float to another, and can adapt to the measurement operation of larger flows by adjusting the size of the water collection box. However, this fully automatic measurement device can only measure during the water inlet process of the water collection box and cannot measure during the drainage process of the water collection box, resulting in missing inspection gaps in the flow measurement operation and being unable to perform continuous measurement of the water flow in different time periods, that is, it is difficult to measure the drainage in all time periods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many different ways defined and covered by the following.
[0032] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a volumetric flow measurement device 1000, including a water tank 1, a valve mechanism 2 and a measurement mechanism 3. The inner cavity of the water tank 1 is vertically divided into a water collection cavity 11 and a measurement cavity 12. The measurement cavity 12 is located below the water collection cavity 11. An inlet hole 13 is opened in the upper part of the water collection cavity 11. A diversion hole 14 is provided between the water collection cavity 11 and the measurement cavity 12. A drain hole 15 is provided at the bottom end of the measurement cavity 12. The apertures of the diversion hole 14 and the drain hole 15 are both larger than the aperture of the inlet hole 13, so that the drainage speed of the diversion hole 14 and the drain hole 15 is greater than the water inlet speed of the inlet hole 13.
[0033] Further, the valve mechanism 2 includes a driving component 21, and a first valve plate 22 and a second valve plate 23 respectively connected to the driving component 21. The first valve plate 22 is arranged at one end of the diversion hole 14 and is adapted to the diversion hole 14. The second valve plate 23 is arranged at one end of the drain hole 15 and is adapted to the drain hole 15. The driving component 21 includes a first driving state and a second driving state. The first driving state of the driving component 21 is to drive the first valve plate 22 to block the diversion hole 14 and at the same time drive the second valve plate 23 to open the drain hole 15. The second driving state of the driving component 21 is to drive the first valve plate 22 to open the diversion hole 14 and at the same time drive the second valve plate 23 to block the drain hole 15.
[0034] Further, the measurement mechanism 3 includes a first liquid level sensing component 31, a second liquid level sensing component 32 and a timing component (not shown in the figure, the same below). The first liquid level sensing component 31 is arranged at the bottom of the measurement cavity 12 and is used to send a signal to drive the driving component 21 to switch to the second driving state when the measurement cavity 12 is empty (that is, there is no liquid in the measurement cavity 12). The second liquid level sensing component 32 is arranged at a position higher than the first liquid level sensing component 31 in the measurement cavity 12 or at a position lower than the inlet hole 13 in the water collection cavity 11. The second liquid level sensing component 32 is used to Send a signal to drive the driving component 21 to switch to the first driving state, and the timing component is used to count the liquid level in the water tank 1 reaching State, the timing component is used to count the liquid level in the water tank 1 reaching reach the preset height. The timing component is used to record the time duration from when the liquid level in the water tank 1 reaches the preset height to when the liquid level in the measurement cavity 12 drops to the lowest point. Since the water collection cavity 11 has started to collect the liquid for the next detection cycle while the drain hole 15 is opened for drainage, the timing component can specifically start timing for the next detection cycle at the end of the timing.
[0035] It should be understood that the preset height is the installation height of the second liquid level sensing component 32 in the water tank 1. Since the volume of the water tank 1 remains unchanged, when the liquid level in the water tank 1 reaches the preset height, the volume of the liquid in the water tank 1 at this time can be obtained.
[0036] Specifically, in the volumetric flow measurement device 1000, the water inlet hole 13 remains in a conducting state. Starting from the moment when the driving component 21 switches to the second driving state and enters a new detection cycle, at this time the drain hole 15 is closed and the water diversion hole 14 is conducting. By using the timing component to count the duration when the liquid level in the water tank 1 reaches the preset height, the flow rate can be accurately calculated in combination with the volume of the water tank 1 corresponding to the preset height. The structure is simple and efficient, with low cost and high measurement accuracy, and it is applicable to large / small flow measurement operations, having a wide applicability. Moreover, when the drain hole 15 is opened to drain the liquid in the measurement chamber 12 at the end of this detection cycle, the water diversion hole 14 is in a closed state. At this time, the liquid entering along the water inlet hole 13 can continue to be collected through the water collection chamber 11, avoiding the situation that some liquid is directly drained without measuring the flow rate, thus avoiding the occurrence of undetected gaps and enabling the flow measurement of all liquids, realizing full-time flow measurement and providing more comprehensive and accurate flow data. Secondly, when the measurement chamber 12 is empty (i.e., there is no liquid), the first liquid level sensing component 31 emits a signal to drive the driving component 21 to switch to the second driving state, conduct the water diversion hole 14 and simultaneously close the drain hole 15, so that the liquid in the water collection chamber 11 enters the measurement chamber 12 through the water diversion hole 14. When the liquid level in the water tank 1 reaches the preset height, it is a timing cycle for flow measurement.
[0037] Such as Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the second liquid level sensing component 32 is disposed at a position higher than the first liquid level sensing component 31 within the measurement chamber 12. The initial measurement period starts timing when the first liquid level sensing component 31 senses the entry of liquid. At this time, the driving component 21 is in the second driving state, and the liquid entering through the water inlet hole 13 can directly enter the measurement chamber 12 until the liquid in the measurement chamber 12 reaches the detection position of the second liquid level sensing component 32, at which point the timing ends and the initial detection period is completed. The subsequent measurement period starts timing when the drain hole 15 is opened for drainage. At this time, the liquid entering through the water inlet hole 13 can be collected by the water collection chamber 11. After the liquid in the measurement chamber 12 is emptied, the driving component 21 switches to the second driving state. At this time, the drain hole 15 closes and the water diversion hole 14 conducts. The liquid in the water collection chamber 11 can then enter the measurement chamber 12 along the water diversion hole 14 until the liquid in the water collection chamber 11 is emptied and the liquid in the measurement chamber 12 reaches the installation height of the second liquid level sensing component 32, at which point the timing ends and one detection period is completed. The flow rate Q of a single detection period is Q = V / t, where V is the volume of the measurement chamber 12 corresponding to the installation height of the second liquid level sensing component 32, and t is the duration of this detection period. The flow rate Q of N detection periods is Q = NV / (t1 + … + t N ).
[0038] As Figure 3As shown, in another embodiment, the second liquid level sensing component 32 is disposed in the water collecting chamber 11 at a position lower than the water inlet hole 13, that is, when the liquid fills the measuring chamber 12 and overflows into the water collecting chamber 11 to reach a preset height, it is a detection cycle. Similarly, the initial measurement cycle starts from when the first liquid level sensing component 31 senses that liquid has entered. At this time, the driving component 21 is in the second driving state, and the liquid entering through the water inlet hole 13 can directly enter the measuring chamber 12 until the liquid fills the measuring chamber 12 and overflows into the water collecting chamber 11 to reach the detection position of the second liquid level sensing component 32, and the initial detection cycle is completed; and the subsequent measurement cycle starts from when the drain hole 15 is opened for drainage. At this time, the water collecting chamber 11 has the remaining liquid from the previous detection cycle, and the volume of the remaining liquid is fixed. At this time, the liquid entering through the water inlet hole 13 can also be detected by the collecting chamber. The water chamber 11 collects the liquid. When the liquid in the measuring chamber 12 is emptied, the driving component 21 switches to the second driving state. At this time, the drainage hole 15 is closed, and the water diversion hole 14 is turned on. The liquid in the water collection chamber 11 can enter the measuring chamber 12 along the water diversion hole 14 until the liquid fills the measuring chamber 12 and overflows into the water collection chamber 11 to reach the installation height of the second liquid level sensing component 32. The timing ends and a detection cycle is completed. The flow rate Q of the initial detection cycle is (V+V') / t, where V is the volume of the measuring chamber 12, V' is the volume of the water collection chamber corresponding to the installation height of the second liquid level sensing component 32, and t is the duration of the detection cycle. The flow rate Q of N detection cycles is (NV+V') / (t1+…+t N ).
[0039] Preferably, the volumetric flow measurement device 1000 also includes an exhaust channel (not shown in the figure, the same below), a first end of the exhaust channel is connected to the measuring chamber 12, and a second end of the exhaust channel is arranged at a position higher than the water inlet hole 13 and is used to communicate with the external environment, so that the gas in the water collecting chamber 11 and / or the measuring chamber 12 can be drained through the exhaust channel during the process of water intake into the water collecting chamber 11 and / or the measuring chamber 12, and air can be introduced into the water collecting chamber 11 and / or the measuring chamber 12 through the exhaust channel during the process of water draining from the water collecting chamber 11 and / or the measuring chamber 12, thereby ensuring that the water intake and drainage of the water collecting chamber 11 and / or the measuring chamber 12 are smooth, avoiding the generation of negative pressure, and thus ensuring the detection accuracy.
[0040] Preferably, the volumetric flow measurement device 1000 further includes a periodic timing component (not shown in the figure, the same hereinafter) for adjusting the duration of the detection period. The periodic timing component is configured to send a signal to drive the driving component 21 to switch to the first driving state when the liquid level in the water tank 1 fails to reach the preset height within the preset detection period duration. By presetting the detection period duration through the periodic timing component, for the state of intermittent flow, when the liquid does not reach the detection position of the second liquid level sensing component 32 within the detection period duration, that is, the detection condition is not met, the driving component 21 can be driven to switch to the first driving state to drain the liquid in this detection period without measurement, avoiding excessive accumulation time of the liquid, preparing for the next detection period, and avoiding the problem that the time of this detection period is too long to accurately measure the flow rates at different time periods.
[0041] Further, in other embodiments, a pressure water level sensor (not shown in the figure, the same hereinafter) can also be provided in the water tank 1. When the liquid does not reach the detection position of the second liquid level sensing component 32 within the detection period duration, the volume of the liquid is detected by the pressure water level sensor to obtain the flow rate of this detection period.
[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the valve mechanism 2 further includes a transmission rod 24. The driving component 21 is connected to the transmission rod 24 and is configured to drive the transmission rod 24 to move axially along it. Both the water inlet hole 14 and the drain hole 15 are coaxially arranged relative to the transmission rod 24. The first valve plate 22 is connected to the transmission rod 24 and is disposed at one end of the water inlet hole 14 facing the measurement chamber 12. The second valve plate 23 is connected to the transmission rod 24 and is disposed at one end of the drain hole 15 facing the measurement chamber 12. That is, both the first valve plate 22 and the second valve plate 23 are disposed in the measurement chamber 12. When the transmission rod 24 drives the first valve plate 22 to move in the direction towards the water inlet hole 14, the second valve plate 23 can be synchronously driven to move in the direction away from the drain hole 15; when the transmission rod 24 drives the first valve plate 22 to move in the direction away from the water inlet hole 14, the second valve plate 23 can also be synchronously driven to move in the direction towards the drain hole 15. By driving the transmission rod 24 to move axially along it through the driving component 21, the first valve plate 22 and the second valve plate 23 can be simultaneously driven to perform opening and closing actions and the opening and closing directions of the first valve plate 22 and the second valve plate 23 are opposite, meeting the measurement requirements, and the driving structure is simple and efficient.
[0043] Further, the driving assembly 21 can directly adopt a linear motor, a pneumatic rod or a hydraulic cylinder, or can be composed of a rotary motor and a screw bolt assembly. The rotary drive of the rotary motor is converted into a linear drive through the screw bolt assembly, and both can drive the transmission rod 24 to move along its axial direction, thereby synchronously driving the first valve plate 22 and the second valve plate 23 to perform opening and closing actions.
[0044] Preferably, one end of the first valve plate 22 facing the water inlet hole 14 is provided with a first conical structure 221 whose diameter gradually expands in the direction away from the water inlet hole 14, and one end of the second valve plate 23 facing the drain hole 15 is provided with a second conical structure 231 whose diameter gradually expands in the direction away from the drain hole 15. The first valve plate 22 is guided and inserted into the water inlet hole 14 through the first conical structure 221 and seals the water inlet hole 14, which can center the first valve plate 22 relative to the water inlet hole 14, make the first valve plate 22 fully abut against the edge of the water inlet hole 14, and improve the sealing effect of the water inlet hole 14. Similarly, the second valve plate 23 is guided and inserted into the drain hole 15 through the second conical structure 231 and seals the drain hole 15, which can center the second valve plate 23 relative to the drain hole 15, make the second valve plate 23 fully abut against the edge of the drain hole 15, and improve the sealing effect of the drain hole 15.
[0045] More preferably, one end of the second valve plate 23 away from the drain hole 15 is provided with a third conical structure 232 whose diameter gradually decreases in the direction away from the drain hole 15. Through the third conical structure 232, the garbage on the second valve plate 23 can be guided to slide down, avoiding the garbage from hanging on the second valve plate 23 and affecting the mating seal of the second valve plate 23 relative to the drain hole 15.
[0046] More preferably, flexible rubber sleeves (not shown in the figure, the same below) are sleeved on the outer peripheries of the first valve plate 22 and the second valve plate 23. The flexible rubber sleeves can be specifically made of flexible materials such as rubber, silica gel, plastic, and foam, and the closing and sealing effects of the first valve plate 22 and the second valve plate 23 are improved through the flexible rubber sleeves.
[0047] Preferably, the volumetric flow measurement device 1000 further includes a third liquid level sensing component 4 and an alarm module 5. The third liquid level sensing component 4 is arranged above the water inlet hole 13, and the alarm module 5 is electrically connected to the third liquid level sensing component 4 and is used to send an alarm signal when the third liquid level sensing component 4 detects a liquid level signal.
[0048] When the water inlet hole 14 or the drain hole 15 is blocked and cannot drain smoothly, the water level in the water collecting chamber 11 rises to the installation height of the third liquid level sensing component 4 and is detected by the third liquid level sensing component 4. At this time, an alarm signal is sent through the alarm module 5, specifically, an audible and visual alarm signal or a wireless alarm signal can be sent to timely notify relevant personnel for emergency handling.
[0049] Preferably, an overflow hole (not shown in the figure, the same below) communicating with the water collecting chamber 11 is also provided at the top end of the water tank 1. When the water inlet hole 14 or the drain hole 15 is blocked and cannot drain smoothly, the liquid in the water collecting chamber 11 can be normally discharged along the overflow hole, avoiding complete blockage of the pipeline.
[0050] In other embodiments, an electromagnetic flowmeter can also be provided at the overflow hole. The electromagnetic flowmeter is used to detect the liquid flow rate discharged through the overflow hole in real time, and can assist in measuring the flow rate exceeding the range of the measuring mechanism 3, improving the range and measurement accuracy of the volumetric flow measuring device 1000 and enhancing the applicability.
[0051] Preferably, the water tank 1 further includes a partition plate 16 and a bottom plate 17. The partition plate 16 is arranged between the water collecting chamber 11 and the measuring chamber 12 and is provided with the water inlet hole 14. The bottom plate 17 is arranged at the bottom end of the measuring chamber 12 and is provided with the drain hole 15. The top surface of the partition plate 16 is inclined downward towards the water inlet hole 14, and the top surface of the bottom plate 17 is inclined downward towards the drain hole 15. The inclined structures on the partition plate 16 and the bottom plate 17 guide the liquid and solid waste in the corresponding cavities to be discharged, making the drainage smoother, effectively avoiding hanging garbage and blockage.
[0052] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of legs 6 are arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1. The plurality of legs 6 are arranged around the drain hole 15 and are used to jointly support the water tank 1. Thus, the water tank 1 is erected at a certain height position through the plurality of legs 6, stably supporting the water tank 1 and making the bottom of the drain hole 15 have no shielding structure, making the drainage of the drain hole 15 smoother.
[0053] As a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an underground drainage system (not shown in the figure, the same below), including the above-mentioned volumetric flow measuring device 1000. The underground drainage system monitors the drainage flow rate in real time through the volumetric flow measuring device 1000.

[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various modifications and variations.
