However, commonly used electromagnetic water meters have straight-inlet and outlet designs, which can lead to significant pressure losses for low-velocity fluids. Furthermore, the lack of a smooth transition when water enters the guide pipe causes turbulence, affecting the metering accuracy.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, the electromagnetic water meter guide pipe section described in this embodiment includes a pipe section 1, a first flange 2, and a second flange 3; wherein,
[0035] Pipe section 1 has a first end and a second end;
[0036] The first flange 2 is provided with a water inlet 21, which is connected to the first end of the pipe section 1. Along the water flow direction within the pipe section 1, the cross-sectional area of the water inlet 21 gradually decreases. An anti-wear ring 8 is provided at the connection between the water inlet 21 and the first end. The anti-wear ring 8 includes a groove end 81 fitted onto the first end and a diagonal support end 82 extending to the inner side of the water inlet 21. Figure 3As shown, the function of anti-wear rings is to protect pipe connections from wear, especially when the fluid medium has a high flow rate or contains solid particles. Anti-wear rings can extend the service life of the pipeline system.
[0037] The second flange 3 is provided with a water outlet 31, which is connected to the second end of the pipe section 1. Along the flow direction of water in the pipe section 1, the cross-sectional area of the water outlet 31 gradually increases. An anti-wear ring 8 is provided at the connection between the water outlet 31 and the second end, and the fixing method is the same as above. The anti-wear ring 8 includes a groove end 81 fitted on the second end and a diagonal support end 82 extending to the inside of the water outlet 31.
[0038] Both the inlet 21 and the outlet 31, located away from the first end of pipe section 1, have rounded corners to ensure smooth flow of fluid and prevent pressure loss. The two ends of pipe section 1 are smoothly connected to the first flange 2 and the second flange 3 via anti-wear rings 8. Smooth insulating linings 5 are placed on the inner walls of pipe section 1, the first flange 2, and the second flange 3 to reduce wear on the linings when connected to the guide pipe section. The use of rounded corners and smooth inner walls optimizes the piping and reduces pressure loss during fluid flow, which is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
[0039] The smooth insulating liner 5 is formed from rubber material in one mold and is disposed on the inner circumferential wall of the pipe section 1. Specifically, liquid rubber is pressed onto the inner wall of the pipe section 1 through a mold. Rubber has insulating and smooth properties, which makes the inner wall of the pipe section 1 form a smooth insulating liner 5 with a smooth surface, simple manufacturing, corrosion resistance, and less scaling, and also extends the service life of the electromagnetic water meter.
[0040] Specifically, pipe section 1 is made of metal. The first end and the second end of pipe section 1 are connected to the first flange 2 and the second flange 3, respectively. The fluid medium enters from the inlet 21 of the first flange 2, flows through pipe section 1 and exits from the outlet 31 of the second flange 3. The fluid medium is water. Along the flow direction of water in pipe section 1, the cross-sectional area of the inlet 21 gradually decreases and the cross-sectional area of the outlet 31 gradually increases, so that the first flange 2, pipe section 1 and second flange 3 form a venturi tube. The structure of the pipe is to first contract and then gradually expand, similar to the design of a venturi tube. For low-velocity fluid media, the flow velocity is significantly increased and the pressure loss is reduced, thereby increasing the conductivity of the fluid medium.
[0041] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1The angle between the wall of the inlet 21 and the wall of the outlet 31 and the axis of the pipe section 1 ranges from 30° to 65°. Preferably, the angle between the wall of the inlet 21 and the axis of the pipe section 1 is equal to the angle between the wall of the outlet 31 and the axis of the pipe section 1, which can adjust the flow field of the fluid medium while reducing pressure loss.
[0042] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1 Both the inlet 21 and the outlet 31 are provided with rounded corners on the side away from the first end of the pipe section 1, so that the fluid medium can enter and exit smoothly and avoid increasing the pressure loss of the fluid medium.
[0043] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1 The first flange 2, the second flange 3 and the pipe section 1 are integrally formed. Specifically, the first flange 2 and the second flange 3 are welded to the first and second ends of the pipe section 1 by welding. The structure has high strength and the first flange 2 and the second flange 3 are not easy to separate from the pipe section 1.
[0044] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1 The guide pipe also includes positioning screws 6 and multiple electromagnetic components. Positioning screws 6 are disposed on the outer peripheral wall of pipe section 1, and electromagnetic components are mounted on positioning screws 6. Multiple electromagnetic components are symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of pipe section 1. Specifically, there are multiple positioning screws 6, symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of pipe section 1. Each electromagnetic component includes pole shoes and coils. Poles are mounted on the positioning screws 6, and coils are mounted around the magnetic yoke. The coils are symmetrically installed along the axial direction of pipe section 1, and a magnetic yoke is mounted outside the coils. Two magnetic yoke plates are symmetrically fixed vertically.
[0045] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1 The guide pipe also includes a shielding assembly 4, which includes a protective ring plate 41 and a shielding ring plate 42. Both the protective ring plate 41 and the shielding ring plate 42 are fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the pipe section 1 and are integrally formed with the pipe section 1. Specifically, the shielding ring plate 42 is connected to the pipe section 1 by welding to prevent interference from the static magnetic field. The protective ring plate 41 is integrally formed with the pipe section 1 by welding. The pipe section 1 is provided with a lead pipe with a neck flange, which is used to connect to the converter of the electromagnetic water meter.
[0046] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 1 The guide tube also includes multiple electrode holes 7, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the pipe segment 1. The electrode holes 7 are used to install electrodes. Specifically, four electrode holes are provided on the pipe segment 1, which are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the pipe segment 1 for installing electrodes.
