Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flow meter technology, specifically a flow meter calibration device. Background Technology

[0002] A flow meter is an instrument that indicates the measured flow rate and the total volume of fluid within a selected time interval. The National Committee for Terminology in Science and Technology defines it as: an instrument that indicates the measured flow rate and the total volume of fluid within a selected time interval. Flow meters are further classified into rotor flow meters, throttling flow meters, slot flow meters, volumetric flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, and weirs, etc. They are also classified by the medium: liquid flow meters and gas flow meters. Flow meters need to be tested before leaving the factory.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as CN219798505U, describe a flow meter calibration device. Through a sealing mechanism, when the flow tube comes into contact with the flow meter to be tested, the pressure block is squeezed to compress the elastic air bladder, resulting in a better sealing effect. Furthermore, the elastic fit allows the calibration device to perfectly seal with flow meters of different interface shapes, increasing the applicability of the calibration device.

[0004] However, this device still has some shortcomings in its use:

[0005] 1. During the use of this device, since the position of the support column is fixed, the position of the flow tube is also fixed during operation. This makes it impossible for the device to detect flow meters of different sizes, thus reducing its practicality.

[0006] 2. The detection height of this device is fixed, which limits its flexibility of use. Furthermore, it uses an elastic airbag for sealed detection, but this design makes the airbag difficult to reuse, posing a limitation and thus affecting detection efficiency. Utility Model Content
