Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear flowmeters, in particular to a circular gear flowmeter with viscosity compensation. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of industry, the demand for precise measurement of fluid flow is increasing. In industries such as petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food, accurately understanding fluid flow is crucial for production process control, quality assurance, and cost accounting. Gear flowmeters, with their high precision, high reliability, and adaptability to different fluids, have become an important measurement tool to meet the needs of these industries. Positive displacement flowmeters measure flow based on the principle of filling and discharging fluid within a fixed volume. Gear flowmeters utilize a pair of intermeshing gears that rotate under the propulsion of the fluid, and the fluid flow rate is determined by measuring the number of gear revolutions. This measurement principle is not affected by changes in the physical properties of the fluid (such as density and viscosity), and has high measurement accuracy and stability.
[0003] The gear flowmeter is mainly composed of the following structural parts: Shell: Usually made of high-strength metal materials or corrosion-resistant engineering plastics, providing solid external protection and support for the flowmeter. Gear: A pair of meshing gears is the core component of the gear flowmeter. Gears are generally made of high-quality alloy steel or stainless steel and have high precision, high hardness and good wear resistance. Bearing: Supports the gear shaft so that it can rotate smoothly. Sealing device: Used to prevent fluid leakage. Sealing devices usually use mechanical seals, packing seals or O-ring seals. Transmission mechanism: Transmits the rotational motion of the gear to the measuring device, generally composed of gear shafts, couplings and other components. Measuring device: Usually includes components such as sensors and counters. The sensor is used to detect the number of revolutions of the gear and converts the signal into an electrical signal or pulse signal output. The counter counts and processes the signal output by the sensor to display the flow value of the fluid.
[0004] Existing gear flowmeters present several challenges when measuring flow rates in relatively viscous liquids. Impurities in the liquid can easily cause meshing gears to jam, resulting in inaccurate flow measurement. Furthermore, bubbles trapped in the liquid can easily cause cavitation during transmission, resulting in gear damage and ultimately affecting the accuracy of flow data. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a circular gear flowmeter with viscosity compensation, which aims to improve the problems in the prior art that impurities in the liquid of the gear flowmeter affect the smoothness of gear rotation and the gear is prone to cavitation.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A circular gear flowmeter with viscosity compensation, comprising a gear box, wherein the top and bottom of the inner side of the gear box are both rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the middle part of the outer side of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a meshing gear;
[0008] The front end of the gear box is fixedly connected to a counting analyzer, the middle of the left end of the gear box is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe, the left end of the delivery pipe is fixedly connected to a Y-type filter, the middle of the inner side of the Y-type filter is slidably connected to a filter bracket, the outer side of the filter bracket is fixedly connected to filter cotton, and the left end of the Y-type filter is fixedly connected to a heating box;
[0009] A delivery elbow is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the heating box, an exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the middle side of the top end of the outer side of the delivery elbow, and a gas-liquid separator is fixedly connected to the middle and lower part of the inner side of the exhaust pipe.
[0010] The top of the gear box is fixedly connected with a box cover.
[0011] A connecting spiral tube is fixedly connected to the middle of the right end of the gear box, and a connecting spiral tube is fixedly connected to the left end of the conveying elbow.
[0012] A data display is fixedly connected to the top of the front end of the counting analyzer, and adjustment buttons are fixedly connected to the middle of the front end of the counting analyzer at equal intervals from left to right.
[0013] A counting lever is fixedly connected to the middle and rear portion of the inner side of the counting analyzer.
[0014] The bottom end of the Y-type filter is threadedly connected to a replacement cover, and the middle part of the bottom end of the replacement cover is threadedly connected to a discharge cover.
[0015] A counting toothed disc is fixedly connected to the front outer side of the rotating shaft at the bottom.
[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The utility model uses the barrier net and high-quality filter cotton set in the Y-type filter to efficiently filter impurities in the liquid, thereby significantly improving the purity of the liquid and greatly reducing the frequency of gear jamming due to impurities.
[0018] 2. This utility model uses a steam heater to heat the viscous liquid in the pipe. During the heating process, bubbles in the liquid float to the top of the elbow due to the heat; the gas passes through the gas-liquid separator, effectively discharging the gas in the liquid, which can effectively prevent cavitation in the gears.
