Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of float flowmeters, and particularly relates to a combined float flowmeter. Background Technique
[0002] A float flowmeter, also known as a rotameter, is a commonly used flow measurement instrument, which consists of a conical circular tube with an inner diameter expanding upward and a float that floats up and down in the tube according to the flow rate of the measured medium. The float flowmeter has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, stable operation, high reliability, and small throttling pressure loss. In particular, it can measure the small flow rate of media with low Reynolds numbers. Therefore, it is widely used in the flow measurement and automatic control systems of liquids and gases in industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, semiconductor, metallurgy, light chemical industry, and food hygiene. The range ratio is an important parameter of the flowmeter. The meaning of the range ratio is the ratio of the maximum flow rate value to the minimum flow rate value that can be measured under the premise of ensuring the accuracy of the flowmeter. Usually, by connecting float flowmeters with different range ratios in series, the range ratio can be increased and the measurement blind area can be reduced. However, when set in series, the required straight pipe section length will increase, occupying a large space, and the float flowmeters are all set on pipes with the same diameter, resulting in low accuracy for monitoring very small flow rates.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes screws arranged on both sides of the connection of the feed fork tube or the discharge fork tube, and a pressing plate is slidably sleeved on the two screws, and a nut for clamping the pressing plate is threadedly connected on the screws. With this structure, after the upper pipe and the lower pipe are initially aligned and plugged, the pressing plate and the nut can be used to clamp the two pipes, thereby achieving the clamping of the connection between the two pipes, so that the two pipes are not easily separated during use.
