Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petroleum densitometer calibration technology, and more specifically, to a petroleum densitometer calibration device. Background Technology

[0002] Petroleum densitometers are primarily used in the petroleum industry to determine the density of crude oil, petroleum products, and both petroleum and non-petroleum products. This measurement is crucial for the measurement, transportation, storage, and refining processes of petroleum. Petroleum densitometer calibration devices are used to ensure the accuracy of petroleum densitometer measurements. Patent document CN201897557U discloses a petroleum densitometer calibration device. This device includes a fixed frame, a constant temperature bath, and a balance. The constant temperature bath is located within the fixed frame, and the balance is mounted on the top surface of the fixed frame. A suspension rope is attached to the balance. A glass measuring cylinder, comprising a main measuring cylinder and an auxiliary measuring cylinder, is placed inside the constant temperature bath. The main measuring cylinder is connected to the auxiliary measuring cylinder via a liquid level adjustment device. A thermometer is installed inside the main measuring cylinder. This invention relies on the up-and-down movement of the reference liquid level to achieve the switching between different calibration points of the densitometer, thereby ensuring that the reference liquid level is tangent to the required calibration point, thus meeting the densitometer calibration requirements. This fills the gap in calibrating low-range petroleum densitometers, expands the verification range of petroleum densitometers, improves the automation level of verification, increases verification efficiency, reduces measurement errors, and improves the uncertainty level of verification and calibration.

[0003] However, during the use of this device, when the petroleum density meter to be calibrated is placed in the reference liquid inside the glass graduated cylinder, air bubbles easily adhere to the sensing part of the meter. The presence of air bubbles interferes with the calibration process, causing the calibration results to lose accuracy. Secondly, after the petroleum density meter is calibrated, it needs to be removed from the reference liquid. However, the entire device does not have any parts for cleaning the petroleum density meter, which makes it easy for the adhered reference liquid to drip into the surrounding environment when the meter is removed, thus causing pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 A petroleum density meter calibration device includes a bracket 1 and a calibration mechanism. A support plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1, and an electric push rod 3 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 2. A support frame 4 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the electric push rod 3. A limiting rod 5 is fixedly mounted inside the support frame 4, and a moving block 6 is movably mounted on the outside of the limiting rod 5. A push rod 7 is fixedly mounted on one side of the moving block 6. There are two push rods 7. A first motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 4, and a half gear 9 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the first motor 8 through the support frame 4. A toothed belt 10 that cooperates with the half gear 9 is provided on the upper end of the moving block 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, the entire device is supported by a bracket 1. A calibration mechanism calibrates the petroleum density meter. The calibration process of the entire calibration mechanism for the petroleum density meter has been disclosed in patent publication number CN201897557U, entitled "Petroleum Density Meter Calibration Device," and its calibration process, principle, and structure will not be repeated here. During the entire calibration process, a balance is installed on the bracket 1. The balance is connected to the petroleum density meter to be calibrated via a suspension rope. After the petroleum density meter to be calibrated is placed in the reference liquid inside the glass graduated cylinder, the electric push rod 3 is activated. The electric push rod 3 drives the support frame 4 to move. The support frame 4 drives the limiting rod 5, the moving block 6, and the pushing rod 7 to move, causing the two pushing rods 7 to move to both sides of the suspension rope. The first motor 8 is then activated, driving the half gear 9 to rotate. When the half gear 9 rotates to engage with the toothed belt 10, the toothed belt 10 moves with the rotation of the half gear 9, driving the toothed belt 10 to move. The moving block 6 moves along the limiting rod 5, the spring 24 is compressed, and the moving block 6 drives the two push rods 7 to move, so that one of the push rods 7 pushes the suspension rope. When the half gear 9 rotates to the point where the toothed belt 10 separates, the two push rods 7 move back to their original positions under the push of the spring 24. At the same time, the other push rod 7 pushes the suspension rope to move back to its original position. This operation is repeated, causing the suspension rope to sway. The suspension rope drives the connected petroleum density meter to be calibrated to sway back and forth, thereby shaking out the air bubbles adhering to the sensing part of the petroleum density meter to be calibrated, and improving the accuracy of the calibration of the petroleum density meter to be calibrated.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-5 As one embodiment for moving the sponge block 12: a movable arm 11 is movably provided inside the bracket 1, and there are two movable arms 11. A sponge block 12 is installed on one side of each movable arm 11. An adjustment shell 13 is provided on the bracket 1. A bidirectional lead screw 14 is rotatably provided inside the adjustment shell 13. A second motor 15 is fixedly provided on one side of the bracket 1. The driving end of the second motor 15 extends into the adjustment shell 13 and is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 14. A movable seat 16 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 14. There are two movable seats 16. One end of each movable seat 16 passes through the adjustment shell 13 and is fixedly connected to the movable arm 11.

[0032] Specifically, after the petroleum density meter to be calibrated is completed, the second motor 15 is started. The second motor 15 drives the bidirectional lead screw 14 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 14 has two threaded areas in opposite directions, causing the two moving seats 16 to move in adjacent directions along the inside of the adjusting shell 13. The moving seats 16 drive the moving arm 11 to move, and the moving arm 11 drives the installed sponge block 12 to move, so that the two sponge blocks 12 come into contact and clamp the suspension rope between the two sponge blocks 12. Pulling the suspension rope causes the petroleum density meter to be calibrated to move upward, so that the petroleum density meter to be calibrated passes between the two sponge blocks 12, absorbing the reference liquid adhering to the petroleum density meter and preventing the reference liquid from dripping and polluting the surrounding environment as the petroleum density meter is removed.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-5 As one embodiment of installing the sponge block 12: the movable arm 11 is provided with an installation groove 17 on one side, and an installation block 18 is movably provided in the installation groove 17. An installation plate 19 is fixedly provided through the installation groove 17 on one side of the installation block 18. The installation plate 19 is fixedly connected to the sponge block 12. The movable arm 11 is provided with a fixing chamber 20. An insertion rod 21 is movably provided in the fixing chamber 20. The upper end of the insertion rod 21 extends to the outer end of the movable arm 11. The other end of the insertion rod 21 is inserted into the installation block 18. The installation block 18 is provided with an insertion hole 22 that cooperates with the insertion rod 21. A limiting ring 23 is fixedly provided on the insertion rod 21 in the fixing chamber 20. A spring 24 is movably provided on the limiting ring 23. The spring 24 is movably sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod 21.

[0034] Specifically, when it is necessary to install the sponge block 12, pull the insertion rod 21. The insertion rod 21 moves the limiting ring 23, and the spring 24 is compressed, which moves the sponge block 12 and the mounting plate 19. The mounting plate 19 moves the mounting block 18, so that the mounting block 18 moves into the mounting groove 17. At this time, the insertion hole 22 is aligned with the insertion rod 21. Release the insertion rod 21. Under the push of the spring 24, the limiting ring 23 moves the insertion rod 21 back to its original position. The lower end of the insertion rod 21 will be inserted into the insertion hole 22, thereby fixing the mounting block 18. The sponge block 12 can then be installed. When it is necessary to remove the sponge block 12 for cleaning or replacement, the reverse operation is used.

[0035] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0036] When it is necessary to remove air bubbles adhering to the petroleum density meter to be calibrated by inserting it into the reference liquid, the entire device is supported by the bracket 1. The petroleum density meter is calibrated by the calibration mechanism. The entire calibration process of the petroleum density meter is disclosed in the patent entitled "Petroleum Density Meter Calibration Device" (CN201897557U), and its calibration process, principle, and structure will not be described in detail here. During the entire calibration process, since the bracket 1 is equipped with a balance, the balance is connected to the petroleum density meter to be calibrated by a suspension rope. After the petroleum density meter to be calibrated is placed in the reference liquid in the glass measuring cylinder, the electric push rod 3 is activated. The electric push rod 3 drives the support frame 4 to move. The support frame 4 drives the limit rod 5, the moving block 6, and the push rod 7 to move, so that the two push rods 7 move to both sides of the suspension rope. The first motor 8 is activated, and the first motor 8 drives the half gear 9 to rotate. When the half gear 9 rotates to engage with the toothed belt 10, the toothed belt 10 moves with the rotation of the half gear 9. The toothed belt 10 drives the half gear 9 to engage with the toothed belt 10. The moving block 6 moves along the limiting rod 5, compressing the spring 24. The moving block 6 drives the two push rods 7 to move, causing one of the push rods 7 to push the suspension rope. When the half gear 9 rotates to the point where the toothed belt 10 separates, the two push rods 7 move back to their original positions under the push of the spring 24. At the same time, the other push rod 7 pushes the suspension rope back to its original position. This operation is repeated, causing the suspension rope to sway. The suspension rope drives the connected petroleum density meter to calibrate to sway back and forth, thereby expelling the air bubbles adhering to the sensing part of the petroleum density meter to calibrate and improving the accuracy of the calibration of the petroleum density meter to calibrate.

[0037] When the sponge block 12 needs to be installed, pull the insertion rod 21. The insertion rod 21 moves the limiting ring 23, compresses the spring 24, and moves the sponge block 12 and the mounting plate 19. The mounting plate 19 moves the mounting block 18, so that the mounting block 18 moves into the mounting groove 17. At this time, the insertion hole 22 is aligned with the insertion rod 21. Release the insertion rod 21. Under the push of the spring 24, the limiting ring 23 moves the insertion rod 21 back to its original position. The lower end of the insertion rod 21 will be inserted into the insertion hole 22, thereby fixing the mounting block 18. The sponge block 12 can then be installed. When it is necessary to remove the sponge block 12 for cleaning or replacement, the reverse operation can be used.

[0038] When the calibrated petroleum densitometer needs to be removed, after calibration, the second motor 15 is activated. The second motor 15 drives the bidirectional lead screw 14 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 14 has two threaded sections in opposite directions, causing two moving seats 16 to move adjacently along the inside of the adjusting housing 13. The moving seats 16 drive the moving arm 11 to move, which in turn drives the installed sponge blocks 12 to move, bringing the two sponge blocks 12 into contact and clamping the suspension rope between them. Pulling the suspension rope causes the petroleum densitometer to move upwards, allowing it to pass between the two sponge blocks 12. This absorbs any reference liquid adhering to the petroleum densitometer, preventing it from dripping and contaminating the surrounding environment as the petroleum densitometer is removed.

[0039] The bracket 1 is equipped with a controller, and the electrical equipment in the entire device is controlled by the controller. Since the equipment matched with the controller is a common device, its control principle and circuit connection are existing, well-known and mature technologies. Therefore, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
