Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to throttling device flowmeter field, specifically relates to a combined throttling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Throttling device flowmeter is based on throttling principle of fluid flow, utilizes the pressure difference generated when fluid flows through throttling device to realize flow measurement. It is one of the most mature and most commonly used methods for measuring flow. Usually it is composed of throttling device that can convert measured flow into differential pressure signal and differential pressure meter and display instrument that can convert the differential pressure into corresponding flow value display. In unit combination instrument, the differential pressure signal generated by throttling device is often converted into corresponding standard signal through differential pressure transmitter for display, recording or control. There are many kinds of differential pressure flowmeters, and the differential pressure flowmeters frequently used in the market at present are: orifice flowmeter, nozzle flowmeter, V-cone flowmeter, annubar flowmeter, multi-hole balanced flowmeter and the like. The orifice flowmeter is widely used in flow measurement of gas, steam and liquid as a form of differential pressure flowmeter. It has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient maintenance, stable performance and reliable use, but needs a long straight pipe section, which seriously affects its application field.

[0003] Because fluid medium will produce vortex and eccentric flow when passing through local resistance parts such as elbow, which affects flow measurement, in the original technology, vortex and eccentric flow need to be eliminated by means of friction resistance of pipe wall and viscous force of fluid in the straight pipe section before entering the throttling device for flow measurement, but the effect is very small, only by lengthening the length of straight pipe section. For the space small hot blast furnace, gas distribution station, pump station and other sites, it is difficult to install a straight pipe section of sufficient length, and the phenomenon that the flow signal output by the throttling device fluctuates greatly so as to be unable to measure occurs. For the case of large pipe diameter conveying gas, water, steam and other fluids, vortex will also be produced due to the local resistance parts, and to eliminate these vortexes, a straight pipe section several times or ten times longer than the inner diameter size of the conveying pipeline needs to be laid, and the length of straight pipe section still cannot meet the requirement in the site.

[0023] As an optional embodiment of the product, for the throttle device used for the hot blast stove, since the temperature difference of the pipeline connected to the hot blast stove is large in the open state and the closed state of the hot blast stove, the pipeline will expand and contract in the temperature change process.

The inner diameter of the end of the expansion pipe 20 close to the orifice plate 5 gradually increases as the expansion pipe 20 gradually approaches the orifice plate 5. Thus, the turbulence caused by the difference in the inner diameter between the expansion pipe 20 and the connecting pipe 18 during the process of the fluid medium entering the connecting pipe 18 through the expansion pipe 20 is reduced. The central axis of the first measuring pipe 1, the central axis of the second measuring pipe 2, the central axis of the converging cone pipe 10, the central axis of the diverging cone pipe 11, the central axis of the connecting pipe 18, the central axis of the expansion pipe 20, and the central axis of the pressing sleeve 27 are located on the same axis.

[0025] As Figs. 1-3As shown, the product is installed in the preset installation position, the upstream pipeline is connected by the fourth flange 21 in the length compensation mechanism on the contraction taper pipe 10, the downstream pipeline is connected by the fourth flange 21 in the length compensation mechanism on the expansion taper pipe 11, the second bolt 23 in the two length compensation mechanisms is adjusted, and the compression amount of the spring 24 in the length compensation mechanism is adjusted; thereby the installation work of the product is completed.

[0026] During the formal use, the upstream pipeline transports the fluid medium, which sequentially passes through the telescopic pipe 20 and the connecting pipe 18 in the length compensation mechanism on the contraction taper pipe 10 and then enters into the contraction taper pipe 10, is gradually blocked and combed and vortex is resolved by the pipe wall of the contraction taper pipe 10, and then enters into the first measuring pipe 1, is throttled by the orifice plate 5, is transported to the second measuring pipe 2, is transported to the length compensation mechanism on the contraction taper pipe 10 through the expansion taper pipe 11, is transported to the downstream pipeline through the connecting pipe 18 and the telescopic pipe 20 in the length compensation mechanism on the contraction taper pipe 10.

[0027] Through the embodiment, the fluid medium gradually reduces the flow area and gradually increases the flow velocity in the process of sequentially passing through the contraction taper pipe 10, the first measuring pipe 1 and the orifice plate 5, the flow area is smaller and the flow velocity is further increased after passing through the orifice plate 5; the flow area is larger and the flow velocity is reduced after the fluid medium passes through the orifice plate 5 and enters into the second measuring pipe 2; the flow area is further increased and the flow velocity is further reduced in the process of entering into the expansion taper pipe 11 through the second measuring pipe 2. Due to the shorter straight pipe section of the contraction taper pipe 10 of the product, the vortex area and the deflection area in the cavity of the first measuring pipe 1 on the side of the orifice plate 5 are reduced, and the flow field distribution is homogenized, which is beneficial to improve the measurement stability and accuracy. Due to the existence of the expansion taper pipe 11 of the product, the static pressure is recovered, and the pressure loss caused by the measurement is reduced.
