[0002] There are many types of flow measurement instruments, and their measurement principles, instrument structures, operating conditions and installation methods are different. In order to unify the flow values ​​of various instruments produced by different manufacturers and achieve a certain measurement accuracy, it is necessary to calibrate and calibrate the newly manufactured or in-use flow meters.

[0003] Common calibration methods include standard flowmeters, mass flow standard devices, and volumetric flow standard devices. Standard flowmeters typically have a wide calibration range but limited accuracy, so auxiliary calibration is often required for high-precision calibration. Mass flow standard devices are used to calibrate mass flowmeters, but are limited by the measurement range of electronic scales and are primarily used to calibrate equipment with a small range. Volumetric flow standard devices are primarily used to calibrate volumetric flowmeters. They have a large range and high calibration accuracy, but require manual acquisition and recording of receipts, which cannot objectively and impartially record the volume of the container, and calibration consistency cannot be guaranteed. Alternatively, measurements can be performed using a liquid level meter, but the measurement accuracy of the liquid level meter is low. Therefore, it is necessary to design an online detection system for volumetric measurement devices for instrument calibration to address challenges such as manual recording, calibration consistency, and measurement accuracy.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Common calibration methods include standard flowmeters, mass flow standard devices, and volumetric flow standard devices. Standard flowmeters typically have a wide calibration range but limited accuracy, so auxiliary calibration is often required for high-precision calibration. Mass flow standard devices are used to calibrate mass flowmeters, but are limited by the measurement range of electronic scales and are primarily used to calibrate equipment with a small range. Volumetric flow standard devices are primarily used to calibrate volumetric flowmeters. They have a large range and high calibration accuracy, but require manual acquisition and recording of receipts, which cannot objectively and impartially record the volume of the container, and calibration consistency cannot be guaranteed. Alternatively, measurements can be performed using a liquid level meter, but the measurement accuracy of the liquid level meter is low. Therefore, it is necessary to design an online detection system for volumetric measurement devices for instrument calibration to address challenges such as manual recording, calibration consistency, and measurement accuracy.

[0024] The utility model provides an online detection system for volumetric measuring devices used for instrument calibration. Figure 1 The structure principle block diagram of the online detection system of the volumetric measuring device for instrument calibration provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a camera shooting module 1, a liquid level sensor acquisition module 2, a data processing module 3, an image recognition module 4, a human-computer interaction module 5, an alarm module 6, a data transmission module 7, a cloud service module 8, and a client 9.

[0025] The data processing module 3 is directly connected to the camera shooting module 1 and the liquid level sensor acquisition module 2 respectively; the image recognition module 4, the human-computer interaction module 5, the alarm module 6 and the data transmission module 7 are respectively connected to the data processing module 3; the cloud service module 8 is connected to the data transmission module 6; and the client 9 is connected to the cloud service module 8.

[0026] Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the camera and the scale of the online detection system of the volumetric measuring device for instrument calibration provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the camera shooting module 1 adopts a lightweight camera, and the camera shooting module 1 is fastened to the scale 103 through a fixed bracket 102, and is used to always take pictures of the scale 103 at eye level. In order to prevent the camera shooting module 1 and the scale 103 from tilting due to loose fastening during long-term use, the information of the scale 103 picture taken includes both the water level height and the display scale of the scale 103.

[0027] The liquid level sensor acquisition module 2 is installed above the water pipe and is used to collect the water level height in real time to assist in calibrating the water level height data recognized by the image recognition module 4 .

[0028] The data processing module 3 is used to store the pictures taken by the camera shooting module 1, and send them to the image recognition module 4 for recognition, and receive the returned recognition results; the data processing module 3 is also used to receive the water level height collected by the liquid level sensor acquisition module 2, and compare it with the water level height result recognized by the image recognition module 4. When the comparison result is within the preset error range, the recognized water level height data is sent to the cloud service module 8 through the data transmission module 7; when the comparison result exceeds the preset error range, the data processing module 3 drives the alarm module 6 to sound an alarm. Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, the data processing module 3 includes functions such as data acquisition 301, data processing 302, data calculation 303, data storage 304, data control 305, data transmission 306, and data reception 307. Data acquisition 301 primarily collects images captured by the camera module 1 and water level data collected by the liquid level sensor acquisition module 2. After pre-processing the collected data through data processing 302, the image data is sent to the image recognition module 4 for recognition. The recognition result is returned to the data processing module 3. The water level data collected by the liquid level sensor acquisition module 2 is then compared by calling data calculation 303. If the error is within the allowed range, the recognized data is uploaded to the cloud server module 8 via the data transmission module 7. If it is not within the allowed range, the data control 304 of the data processing module 3 activates the alarm module 6 to issue an alarm. On-site inspection personnel input the actual water level data read on site through the human-computer interaction module 5 to calibrate the water level data. The newly formed calibration model data is stored in the data storage 304 of the data processing module 3 to facilitate the recognition accuracy of subsequent image data.

[0029] The data processing module 3 is also used to receive the configuration information sent by the cloud service module 8 via the data transmission module 7, and store it in the data storage 304. The configuration information includes shooting parameters such as shooting time, photo color, fill light brightness, exposure gain, etc., which facilitates clearer and more controllable shooting of water level scale information on site.

[0030] The human-computer interaction module 5 is used to exchange information with on-site inspection personnel. The human-computer interaction module 5 is used to display the water level data identified by the image recognition module 4, the data collected by the liquid level sensor acquisition module 2, the data input by the on-site calibration of the inspection personnel, and the configuration information. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the human-computer interaction module 5 includes a data acquisition display 501, a recognition result display 502, an actual data input 503, a fitting result display 504, a configuration parameter display 505, a configuration parameter input 506, and a device operation display 507. On-site inspection personnel can view data collected by the liquid level sensor acquisition module 2 through the acquisition data display 501, and the image recognition results of the camera capture module 1 through the recognition result display 502. Furthermore, when an alarm is triggered by the alarm module 6, the recognition results are calibrated by viewing the actual data on site and entering it into the actual data input 503. The fitting result display 504 shows the calibrated data. To facilitate on-site debugging, the configuration parameter display 505 displays the configuration parameters related to the camera capture module 1. If the image is dimly lit or underexposed, the parameter values ​​can be changed through the configuration parameter input 506. The device operation display 507 primarily displays the operating status of the measuring device, allowing for faster and more accurate identification of equipment problems.

[0031] The cloud service module 8 is used to receive, store, analyze and process data, including water level scale information, relevant configuration information and optimized model parameters.

[0032] The client 9 is used to directly call the test report template and generate a report based on the configuration information and water level height data. Specifically, the client 9 generates a standard test report by calling the water level scale information and related configuration information stored in the cloud service module 8 for submission to customers and archiving.

[0033] Through the above method, the measurement data can be recorded online under the premise of high-precision calibration of the instrument, which provides a basis for the consistency and traceability of the detection process, and gradually realizes the digitalization of the management of the detection process, thereby improving the intelligence level of the instrument detection process.

[0034] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable ordinary technicians in this field to understand the content of the present invention and implement it. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
