However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0013] See Figure 1 This embodiment discloses an automatic cleaning device for a differential pressure transmitter. The positive pressure connection pipe 2 and negative pressure connection pipe 3 of the differential pressure transmitter main unit 1 are connected to the positive pressure tap and negative pressure tap of the Pitot tube 4, respectively. Solenoid valves 5 are respectively installed on the positive pressure connection pipe 2 and negative pressure connection pipe 3 of the differential pressure transmitter main unit 1. The differential pressure transmitter is used to detect the wind speed in the air duct 6. The automatic cleaning device includes a cleaning air pipe 7. The inlet end of the cleaning air pipe 7 is connected to a compressed air source with a pressure of not less than 5 bar. A filter 8, a pressure reducing valve 9, a pressure gauge 10, and a cleaning air valve 11 are sequentially arranged along the airflow direction on the cleaning air pipe 7. The outlet end of the cleaning air pipe 7 is connected to two branch air pipes 12, and the outlet ends of the two branch air pipes 12 are respectively connected to the positive pressure tap and negative pressure tap of the Pitot tube 4. The pressure gauge 10 is located between the pressure reducing valve 9 and the cleaning air valve 11 and is used to detect the gas pressure in the cleaning air pipe 7 after being reduced by the pressure reducing valve 9.
