Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas turbine flowmeters, in particular to a gas turbine flowmeter capable of self-diagnosing faults. Background Art
[0002] Gas turbine flowmeters are commonly used flow measurement instruments. With the global demand for energy growing and the emphasis on energy efficiency, accurate energy consumption measurement has become crucial. Gas turbine flowmeters play a vital role in the metering of natural gas, coal gas, and other energy sources. For natural gas suppliers and users, accurate flow measurement ensures fair transactions and avoids energy waste and financial losses. Furthermore, real-time monitoring and data analysis of gas flow can optimize energy management, improve energy efficiency, and reduce energy costs.
[0003] However, traditional gas turbine flowmeters may suffer from bearing wear and jamming problems due to the dirty gas medium in the natural gas pipeline containing suspended matter or welding slag and other particles. In terms of management, the bearings are not lubricated regularly and sufficiently, causing bearing wear or damage. The influence of pulsating flow or instantaneous impact of large flow and excessive load may cause bearing damage, leading to a series of failures in the flowmeter. It is impossible to determine whether the problem is caused by lack of ventilation, resulting in non-measurement, or by failure and damage, resulting in non-measurement. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the first frame is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, and the interior of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second frame.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In the present invention, the gas passes through the cavity inside the shell and enters the rear process through the leading fluid, driving the impeller to rotate; if there is no instantaneous flow for a long time, the program is started and the mass flow rate is measured by the thermal sensor. If there is no instantaneous flow on the volume correction instrument (the thermal flow does not display a value), it means that there is no gas flow in the pipeline, and it can be determined that the impeller is stuck and cannot move, so that it can be determined whether it is a lack of ventilation or a malfunction.

In the present invention, the pull rod is pulled outward, and the pull rod drives the second frame to move, the second frame drives the connecting rod to move, and the movement of the connecting rod drives the first frame to move, thereby driving the sliding plate to move. When the sliding plate moves to a certain position, the engine oil inside the oil inlet will enter the connecting pipe through the inclined groove provided by the annular sealing gasket, and drip onto the rotating shaft through the lower oil pipe, thereby effectively reducing the friction and wear between the turbine and the bearings, bushings, etc., and extending the service life of the flow meter.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings 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.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the utility model provides an embodiment: a gas turbine flowmeter capable of self-diagnosing faults, comprising a shell part 1, the outer wall of the shell part 1 is fitted with a sealing gasket 4, the inner wall of the sealing gasket 4 is slidably connected to a thermal sensor part 2, the outer wall of the sealing gasket 4 is threadedly fitted with a compression nut part 3, a cavity 8 is opened inside the shell part 1, a rotating shaft 9 is provided inside the shell part 1, an impeller part 5 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9, a leading fluid 10 is provided inside the shell part 1, a flow sensor 11 is provided inside the shell part 1, a pressure sensor part 12 is provided inside the shell part 1, and a display component is provided on the outer wall of the shell part 1, the display component is used to display the flow rate inside the shell part 1; the display component comprises a volume correction instrument part 7, the outer wall of the volume correction instrument part 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell part 1, and a thermal flow 6 is provided inside the volume correction instrument part 7;
[0023] Specifically, when the gas passes through the cavity 8, it is first diverted to the rear part by the leading fluid 10, driving the impeller 5 to rotate on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. At this time, if there is no instantaneous flow for a long time, the program is started and the mass flow is measured by the thermal sensor 2. If there is no instantaneous flow and the thermal flow 6 does not display a value on the volume correction instrument 7, it means that there is no gas flow in the pipeline, and it can be judged that the impeller 5 is stuck and motionless, so that it can be judged whether it is a lack of ventilation or a fault damage.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The outer wall of the shell 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 13, and the interior of the connecting pipe 13 is slidably connected with an annular sealing gasket 14;
[0025] Specifically, an annular sealing gasket 14 is provided inside the connecting pipe 13 to prevent measurement errors.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the inner wall of the annular sealing gasket 14 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 15, and the outer wall of the sliding plate 15 is fixedly connected to the first frame 16; the outer wall of the first frame 16 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 17, and the inside of the connecting rod 17 is rotatably connected to the second frame 18; the outer wall of the second frame 18 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 19, and the inside of the pull rod 19 is rotatably connected to the third frame 20; the outer wall of the third frame 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 13, and the inside of the connecting pipe 13 is provided with an oil inlet 21, and the outer wall of the oil inlet 21 is threadedly connected to a cover 22; the inside of the connecting pipe 13 is provided with a blocking cover 23, and the inside of the blocking cover 23 is provided with a lower oil pipe 24, and one end of the lower oil pipe 24 is provided directly above the rotating shaft 9;
[0027] Specifically, pulling the pull rod 19 outward drives the second frame 18 to move, and the movement of the second frame 18 drives the connecting rod 17 to move, thereby driving the first frame 16 and the sliding plate 15 to move. When the sliding plate 15 moves to below the oil inlet 21, the engine oil inside the oil inlet 21 will enter the interior of the connecting pipe 13 through the inclined groove above the annular sealing gasket 14, and then drip to the top of the rotating shaft 9 through the lower oil pipe 24, thereby effectively reducing friction and wear and extending the service life of the flow meter.
[0028] Working principle: When the turbine flowmeter needs to be used, first install the sealing gasket 4 on the thermal sensor 2, install them together in the housing 1, and tighten them with the compression nut 3. Similarly, install the flow sensor 11 and the pressure sensor 12 in this way. When the gas passes through the cavity 8, it is first diverted to the rear process through the leading fluid 10, driving the impeller 5 to rotate on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. At this time, if there is no instantaneous flow for a long time, start the program and use the thermal sensor 2 to measure its mass flow. If there is no instantaneous flow and the thermal flow 6 does not display a value on the volume correction instrument 7, it means that there is no gas flowing in the pipeline; if there is an instantaneous flow and the thermal flow 6 on the volume correction instrument 7 does display a value, it can be judged that the impeller 5 is stuck and cannot move, so that it can be judged whether it is a lack of ventilation or a malfunction. When use is completed, pull the pull rod 19 outward to rotate through the third frame 20, and the pull rod 19 drives the second frame 18 to move, and the second frame 18 moves The oil in the oil inlet 21 will enter the interior of the connecting pipe 13 through the inclined groove above the annular seal 14, and then drip to the top of the rotating shaft 9 through the lower oil pipe 24 fixed by the blocking cover 23. The cover 22 above the oil inlet 21 prevents dust from entering and causing damage to the rotating shaft 9. The block provided on the outer wall of the sliding plate 15 can block the pipe below the oil inlet 21 when the sliding plate 15 is reset to prevent it from flowing into the interior of the connecting pipe 13 and causing pollution, thereby effectively reducing friction and wear and extending the service life of the flowmeter. The turbine flowmeter can not only determine whether it is a lack of ventilation or a fault, but also effectively reduce friction and wear and extend the service life of the flowmeter.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
