Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water meter calibration, in particular to a propeller-type water meter calibration device. Background Art

[0002] In equipment production, accurate water measurement is crucial for the rational allocation of water resources, cost accounting, and management decisions. Propeller-type water meters, used to measure the volume flow of media within pipelines, are complex in structure and widely used. Calibration is difficult, resulting in inaccurate measurement and calibration.

[0003] In the actual use of propeller-type water meters, the water contains a lot of alkaline impurities, which often leads to blockage of the propeller-type water meters. In addition, the water in the pipeline also has problems such as uneven water flow and pressure fluctuations, which seriously affect the stability of the supply. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a propeller water meter calibration device. By arranging a Honeywell mass flowmeter in front of the propeller water meter, the accuracy of the propeller water meter calibration is greatly improved, which solves the problem that the propeller water meter could not be calibrated to determine whether the measurement is accurate, thereby saving material costs; through the coordinated use of the filter, the rotating scraper and the dispensing tank, when the filter is blocked, the impurities can be dissolved and scraped off by the rotating scraper and the liquid medicine in the dispensing tank, which greatly reduces the risk of blockage of the propeller water meter; through the coordinated use of the rectifier and the energy storage tank, the flow velocity distribution of the water flow is made more uniform, providing stable water flow conditions for subsequent equipment.

[0005] The utility model is realized by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] The propeller water meter calibration device includes a variable frequency pump, which is connected to a rectifier through a filter. The rectifier is connected to a Honeywell mass flowmeter through an energy storage tank. The Honeywell mass flowmeter is connected to a first-stage propeller water meter through a Honeywell mass flowmeter outlet pipe.

[0007] The filter removes impurities from the water, preventing them from entering subsequent equipment. The rectifier straightens the filtered water, making the flow rate more uniform and providing stable flow conditions for subsequent equipment. After the relatively pure filtered water passes through the rectifier, it can better achieve its rectifying effect, adjusting any turbulent or uneven flow rate to a near-ideal laminar flow, ensuring the normal operation of subsequent equipment.

[0008] A filter plate is provided inside the filter, a rotating scraper is provided below the filter plate, and the upper edge of the rotating scraper is tangent to the lower edge of the filter plate.

[0009] A filter inlet pipe is connected between the variable frequency pump and the filter, and the connection between the filter inlet pipe and the filter is located below the filter plate.

[0010] Accumulator tanks are primarily used to absorb energy fluctuations in water flow, stabilizing its pressure and flow rate. After the rectified water enters the accumulator tank, it buffers and regulates the energy, ensuring a more stable flow to subsequent equipment, such as Honeywell mass flowmeters and propeller-type water meters, minimizing the impact of pressure or flow fluctuations on the accuracy of these devices.

[0011] The variable frequency pump is connected to the filter through the medicine dispensing tank. A medicine dispensing tank inlet pipeline is provided between the variable frequency pump and the medicine dispensing tank. The connection between the medicine dispensing tank and the filter is located above the filter plate.

[0012] When the filter efficiency decreases, open the valve on the pipe entering the dispensing tank in turn, close the valve on the pipe entering the filter, and introduce water into the dispensing tank. After the dispensing is completed, it enters the filter to backwash the filter plate. At the same time, the rotating scraper starts working.

[0013] The filter is connected to an impurity storage tank through a pipeline, and the connection between the impurity storage tank and the filter is located below the filter plate.

[0014] An energy storage tank inlet pipe is provided between the rectifier and the energy storage tank. The energy storage tank inlet pipe is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger through the heat exchanger inlet pipe, and the outlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the energy storage tank inlet pipe through a pipe.

[0015] The Honeywell mass flowmeter is connected to a second-stage propeller water meter and a third-stage propeller water meter, and the first-stage propeller water meter, the second-stage propeller water meter and the third-stage propeller water meter are connected in parallel.

[0016] Different types of propeller water meters and mass flow meters are installed in the four-circulation water supply line for meter calibration. There are currently 25 propeller water meters installed in the circulating water plants of the water supply and drainage workshop, with a total of 6 types of models including DN50, DN80, DN100, DN150, DN200 and DN250. They are currently calibrated using Honeywell mass flow meters with a certified accuracy of 0.2%, and the calibration cycle is one year.

[0017] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0018] Industrial water enters the filter via a variable frequency pump, then passes through a rectifier and into an accumulator tank. It then passes through a Honeywell mass flowmeter to calibrate the first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage propeller water meters. If the water temperature fluctuates significantly, the industrial water entering the accumulator tank is tempered by a heat exchanger to ensure calibration accuracy. If the filter efficiency decreases, the valves on the pipes inlet to the dispensing tank are opened, and then closed, allowing water to enter the dispensing tank. After dispensing, the water enters the filter to backwash the filter plates while the rotating scraper begins operating. The accumulator tank primarily absorbs energy fluctuations in the water flow, stabilizing its pressure and flow rate. After the rectified water enters the accumulator tank, it buffers and regulates the energy, ensuring a more stable flow to downstream equipment, such as the Honeywell mass flowmeter and propeller water meter, minimizing the impact of pressure or flow fluctuations on these devices' metering accuracy.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] The utility model adopts the propeller-type water meter calibration device, and by arranging a Honeywell mass flowmeter in front of the propeller-type water meter, the calibration accuracy of the propeller-type water meter is greatly improved, which solves the gap that the propeller-type water meter could not be calibrated to determine whether the measurement is accurate, thereby saving material costs; by using the filter, the rotating scraper and the dispensing tank in conjunction with each other, when the filter is blocked, the impurities can be dissolved and scraped off by the rotating scraper and the liquid medicine in the dispensing tank, which greatly reduces the risk of blockage of the propeller-type water meter; by using the rectifier and the energy storage tank in conjunction with each other, the flow velocity distribution of the water flow is made more uniform, providing stable water flow conditions for subsequent equipment.
