Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turbine flowmeters, in particular to a stable turbine flowmeter. Background Art

[0002] A turbine flowmeter is an instrument that measures fluid flow based on the rotation of a turbine. Its high accuracy, excellent repeatability and stability, wide measuring range, rapid response to flow changes, strong anti-interference capabilities, and easy signal transmission make it widely used in various fields.

[0003] When a valve is suddenly closed or a pump stops abruptly, the inertia of the pressurized water flow generates a shock wave. This water hammer effect causes a sharp increase in pressure within the pipeline. This sudden change in pressure can cause serious damage to the precision components within the turbine flowmeter, especially the impeller. The sudden stop or change in direction of high-speed flowing liquid generates a huge impact force, which may cause the impeller to deform, break, or become stuck, seriously affecting the accuracy and service life of the flowmeter. Even if the water hammer does not directly cause physical damage, the repeated pressure fluctuations may cause changes in the mechanical structure of the flowmeter, affecting the smooth rotation of the impeller and reducing measurement accuracy. Turbine flowmeters that are subject to water hammer for a long time may experience unstable or deviated readings. To address this issue, a stable turbine flowmeter is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model provides a technical solution, a stable turbine flowmeter, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,include:

[0025] Flow tube 1, a connecting pipe 7 is provided on the left side of the upper end of the flow tube 1, and the connecting pipe 7 is sealed and fixed to the flow tube 1, and a valve body 11 is provided on the upper end of the connecting pipe 7;

[0026] The piston disc 12 is arranged at the lower end of the valve body 11 . The upper end of the valve body 11 is provided with an air injection valve 13 , and the upper end of the air injection valve 13 is provided with a pressure gauge 14 .

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The right end of the flow tube 1 is provided with a turbine blade 4 and a sensor 5, and the right side of the upper end of the flow tube 1 is provided with a flow integrator 6.

[0028] See also Figure 3 One side of the lower end of the outer portion of the connecting pipe 7 is provided with a fixing block 8 evenly distributed along the ring, and the fixing block 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting pipe 7.

[0029] See also Figure 3 A screw 9 is installed inside the fixed block 8 through threaded cooperation. A limit block 10 is provided on the upper end of the screw 9. The limit block 10 is used to rotate the screw 9 and press down the outer edge of the fixed valve body 11.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Flanges 2 are provided at both ends of the outside of the flow tube 1, and the flanges 2 are fixedly connected to the flow tube 1. The flanges 2 are used to connect the flow tube 1 to the pipeline.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sealing gasket 3 is provided on one side of the outside of the flange 2, and the sealing gasket 3 is connected to the flange 2. The sealing gasket 3 improves the sealing performance when the flange 2 is connected to the pipeline.

[0032] This solution: When the pressure in the pipeline suddenly changes, a shock wave propagates along the pipeline, and the shock wave acts on the piston disc 12 to make it move along the valve body 11. The movement of the piston disc 12 is affected by the combined effect of the internal air pressure of the valve body 11 and the size of the shock wave, forming a dynamic balance, thereby eliminating water hammer. In this way, the stability of the pipeline system is maintained. When the valve body 11 needs to be disassembled, the limit block 10 is rotated so that the screw 9 rotates and rises accordingly. After disengaging from the outer edge of the valve body 11, the limit block 10 is flipped outward to disengage from the valve body 11, thereby canceling the fixation of the valve body 11, and the valve body 11 can then be disassembled.
