Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] To measure fluid flow, a flow meter is typically installed in the fluid delivery pipeline for real-time monitoring. Currently, there are many types of flow meters, such as the electromagnetic flow meter, which uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure the flow of conductive fluids based on the electromotive force induced when the conductive fluid passes through an external magnetic field.

[0003] Electromagnetic flowmeters available on the market generally consist of a magnetic circuit system, a measuring conduit, electrodes, and a lining. The magnetic circuit system generates a magnetic field within the measuring conduit. When a conductive fluid flows through the conduit, it generates an electric potential difference. Because the electrodes are located on both sides of the fluid and connected to the conductive fluid, the electromotive force of the conductive fluid can be measured. Since the electromotive force is proportional to the flow rate, this provides support for calculating the fluid's flow rate. Because the electrodes are located on both sides of the conductive fluid, forming a clamping structure, electromagnetic flowmeters are also called wafer flowmeters. In addition, the specific structure of the electromagnetic flowmeter can be retrieved in patent documents. For example, a Chinese patent with publication number CN116222672A discloses an electromagnetic flowmeter, which includes a shell, an inner shell, and an electric control module arranged in the inner shell. The shell includes an outer shell, and the inner shell includes a fixed shell and a fixed cover connected to each other. The electric control module is fixed between the fixed shell and the fixed cover. The electric control module includes a control board, a power board, and a terminal board. The fixed shell is provided with a first fixed groove and a second fixed groove, and the control board and the power board are respectively inserted into the first fixed groove and the second fixed groove. The terminal board is fixed to the rear side of the fixed shell. The outer wall of the fixed shell is provided with a positioning groove. The position of the positioning protrusion corresponds to the position of the positioning groove, and the positioning protrusion can be inserted into the positioning groove. The adoption of the present invention can facilitate wiring, and the wiring is regular, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0004] Whether it is the electromagnetic flowmeter provided by the above patent or other electromagnetic flowmeters, their measuring conduits are all configured as an integrated structure. In addition, the measuring conduit is generally configured as a structure that is larger in the middle and smaller at both ends, and the magnetic circuit system and electrodes are both arranged inside the measuring conduit. At the same time, in order not to affect the circulation of the conductive fluid, the magnetic circuit system and electrodes are not protruding from the lining. Therefore, when the magnetic circuit system and electrodes fail, because the magnetic circuit system and electrodes are located in the middle of the measuring conduit, it is not convenient for maintenance personnel to remove them from the measuring conduit, that is, it is not convenient for maintenance personnel to repair the electromagnetic flowmeter. If it really needs to be repaired, the measuring conduit can only be destroyed. This operation is time-consuming. In order to resume production as soon as possible, the manufacturer generally chooses to replace the electromagnetic flowmeter, which increases production costs. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0027] The following is a further description with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] Because the measuring conduit of an electromagnetic flowmeter is integrated and typically configured with a larger center and smaller ends, and both the magnetic circuit system and electrodes are located within the conduit, a malfunction in the magnetic circuit system or electrodes makes it difficult for maintenance personnel to remove them, potentially requiring replacement of the electromagnetic flowmeter, increasing production costs. To address this issue, this embodiment improves upon existing electromagnetic flowmeters to enable disassembly as needed. The specific technical solution is described below.

[0029] Existing electromagnetic flowmeters are already publicly available, so their structure is briefly described here. Electromagnetic flowmeters generally include a magnetic circuit system, a measuring conduit, electrodes, a lining, and a converter. The lining, magnetic circuit system, and electrodes are positioned inside the measuring conduit, with the lining directly contacting the conduit. A display instrument 1 is positioned above the measuring conduit, and a converter is positioned adjacent to the display instrument 1. The converter amplifies the induced electromotive force signal and converts it into a unified standard signal, suppressing major interference signals. The magnetic circuit system generates a DC or AC magnetic field within the measuring conduit. When a conductive fluid flows through the measuring conduit, the magnetic field cuts through it, generating an electromotive force. Since the electrodes are in direct contact with the conductive fluid, the conductive fluid, electrodes, and converter form a closed circuit, enabling the measurement of the fluid's electromotive force. Because the fluid's electromotive force is proportional to its flow rate, the fluid flow rate can be calculated using parameters such as the flow rate, the cross-section of the measuring conduit, the distance between the electrodes, and the magnetic field strength.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 10 As shown, in order to be able to repair or replace the magnetic circuit system or the electrode when it is damaged, the measuring tube is set as the first splicing plate 2 and the second splicing plate 3 in this embodiment. The first splicing plate 2 and the second splicing plate 3 are both set as a structure with a middle size larger than the size at both ends, and ear plates are provided on the edges. Flanges 21 are provided at both ends of the first splicing plate 2. The second splicing plate 3 is arranged in the space formed by the first splicing plate 2 and the flange 21, and bolts are provided through the ear plates, so that the first splicing plate 2 and the second splicing plate 3 are connected under the action of the bolts. To further restrict the relative position of the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3, a first slot 22 and a second slot 31 are provided on the adjacent sidewalls of the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3. A sealing gasket is provided at the first and second slots 22 and 31. A filler plate group 5 is provided in the space formed by the first and second slots 22 and 31. The filler plate group 5 includes a first filler plate 51 and a second filler plate 52. The edges of the first and second filler plates 51 and 52 are respectively inserted into the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3, squeezing the sealing gasket to achieve a stable connection between the filler plates and the splicing plates. Furthermore, the filler plates restrict the position of the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3. This arrangement allows the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3 to be disassembled as needed, facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the magnetic circuit system and electrodes.

[0031] like Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, to measure the conductive fluid, a liner 6 and a measuring assembly 7 are provided on the inner sides of the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3. The liner 6 comprises a first tubular liner 61, two annular liners 62, and two second tubular liners 63. The tubular liner can be made of two plates each with a 180° circular angle. The two annular liners 62 are respectively provided at both ends of the first tubular liner 61, and the two second tubular liners 63 are respectively provided on the side away from each other of the two annular liners 62. The diameter of the first tubular liner 61 is greater than that of the second tubular liner 63. Sealing gaskets are provided at the contact points between the liners to achieve sealed contact between the liners. The liner 6 is made of an electrically insulating material and is provided in contact with the sidewalls of the first and second splicing plates 2 and 3, isolating the conductive fluid from the splicing plates, increasing the corrosion resistance of the measuring conduit, and preventing the induced potential from being short-circuited by the metal measuring conduit wall. The measuring assembly 7 is arranged in the first tubular liner 61, which includes a frame 71, two electrodes 72 and an electromagnetic device 73. The two electrodes 72 are located at the two ends of the same diameter, and the two electromagnetic devices 73 are located at the two ends of the other diameter. The two diameters are perpendicular to each other. There are two frames 71, and the central angle of each is set to 180 degrees. A first mounting groove 711 and a second mounting groove 712 are provided on the frame 71. The electrodes 72 and the electromagnetic device 73 are respectively installed in the first mounting groove 711 and the second mounting groove 712, and neither protrudes from the frame 7. 1, a wire groove 714 is provided on the outer side of the frame 71, and the wire groove 714 is communicated with the mounting groove. The wires of the electrode 72 and the electromagnetic device 73 pass through the frame 71 and are laid in the wire groove 714. Finally, they are sealed and passed through the lining 6 to be connected with the display instrument 1. Specifically, holes can be drilled in the lining 6 to allow the wires to pass through the holes. At the same time, part of the wires are bent and laid between the lining 6 and the frame 71, and a sealing gasket is provided in this area. Through the mutual compression of the frame 71 and the lining 6, the sealing gasket is deformed to cover the channel.

[0032] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The figure shows the magnetic field formed within the measuring catheter. Electromagnetic device 73 includes a housing 731 and a magnetic coil 732. Magnetic coil 732 is located within housing 731. A screw 733 is positioned in the center of the inner side of housing 731. Screw 733 extends through frame 71 and is connected to nut 713, which is embedded within frame 71. The action of the upper and lower magnetic coils 732 creates a magnetic field within the distance between them. The arrangement of screw 733 and nut 713 ensures stable mounting of housing 731 on frame 71 and facilitates removal as needed.

[0033] like Figure 4 、 Figure 9As shown, in order to allow the wires to pass through the first splicing plate 2 and the second splicing plate 3 in a sealed manner, an arcuate groove 32 is provided on the top of the first splicing plate 2 and the second splicing plate 3, and a seal 4 is provided in the space formed by the two arcuate grooves 32. The seal 4 includes a chassis 41, a sealing gasket 43 and a top plate 45. The top plate 45 and the chassis 41 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the sealing gasket 43. A fastening bolt 44 is provided through the top plate 45, and a threaded groove 42 is provided on the chassis 41. A through-hole 46 is provided on the chassis 41, the sealing gasket 43 and the top plate 45, and the through-holes 46 of the sealing gasket 43 and the chassis 41 are staggered. The fastening bolt 44 passes through the sealing gasket 43 and is threaded into the threaded groove 42, and the chassis 41 is connected to the first splicing plate 2. The wire is passed through the through-hole 46. Since the through-holes 46 of the sealing gasket 43 and the bottom plate 41 are staggered, when the fastening bolt 44 is rotated to control the top plate 45 and the bottom plate 41 to approach each other, the sealing gasket 43 is squeezed to deform, and the gap between the top plate 45 and the bottom plate 41 is sealed to prevent liquid leakage.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
