DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creation characteristics, purposes and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1-5 , a porous balance flowmeter comprises two straight pipes 1, the opposite sides of the two straight pipes 1 are fixedly connected with flanges 2, and the opposite sides of the two straight pipes 1 are movably connected with a balance mechanism 4;

[0027] The balance mechanism 4 comprises two ring chambers 41, the opposite sides of the two ring chambers 41 are slidably connected to the opposite sides of the two straight pipes 1, and the opposite sides of the two ring chambers 41 are slidably connected with a hole plate sensor 42, the middle part of the hole plate sensor 42 is provided with a plurality of holes in a ring shape, and the holes are symmetrically distributed left and right.

[0028] It should be noted that the straight pipe 1 serves as the core path of fluid flow, provides a stable and unobstructed flow space for the measured fluid, and ensures that the fluid can maintain a relatively stable flow state during the measurement process. The straight pipe 1 is connected with the external pipeline through the flange 2, realizes seamless docking of the porous balance flowmeter and the external fluid conveying pipeline system, ensures that the fluid can smoothly enter and flow out of the flowmeter, and guarantees the sealing property of the connection part, prevents fluid leakage, and ensures the normal operation of the entire fluid conveying system.

[0029] The ring chamber 41 serves as the installation carrier of the hole plate sensor 42, provides an accurate installation position and a stable support environment for the hole plate sensor 42. The ring-shaped and left-right symmetrical holes in the middle part of the hole plate sensor 42 are the core measurement elements of the flowmeter. When the fluid flows through the hole plate sensor 42, a pressure difference is generated before and after the hole due to the throttling effect of the hole, and there is a certain functional relationship between the pressure difference and the fluid flow. The fluid flow can be calculated by measuring the pressure difference. The left-right symmetrical hole design can make the fluid flow more uniform when passing through the hole plate sensor 42, reduce the impact and wear of the fluid on the hole plate sensor 42, improve the accuracy and stability of the measurement, and also reduce the formation of floc shear force and vortex, reduce the loss of kinetic energy, and help to reduce the energy loss in the fluid flow process.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , a sealing ring one 45 is fixedly sleeved on the middle part of the outer periphery of the hole plate sensor 42, a plurality of positioning blocks 43 in a ring shape are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two ring chambers 41, a plurality of positioning grooves 44 in a ring shape are formed on the outer periphery of the hole plate sensor 42, and the positioning blocks 43 are slidably connected inside the positioning grooves 44.

[0031] It should be noted that the main role of the sealing ring 45 is to ensure the sealing between the orifice plate sensor 42 and the ring chamber 41, to prevent fluid leakage at the connection between the orifice plate sensor 42 and the ring chamber 41, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results. The cooperation of the positioning block 43 and the positioning groove 44 can not only guide the installation of the orifice plate sensor 42, ensuring that the orifice plate sensor 42 is accurately installed at the specified position and ensuring the correct correspondence between the orifice and the fluid flow direction, but also restrict the rotation and radial movement of the orifice plate sensor 42 during the operation of the flowmeter, preventing measurement errors caused by the position deviation of the orifice plate sensor 42.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the outer periphery of the opposite side of the two straight pipes 1 is fixedly connected with four fixed blocks two 8 distributed in a ring shape, the middle part of the fixed blocks two 8 is slidingly connected with a bolt 9, the left side of the fixed block two 8 on the left side is fixedly connected with a nut 10, the bolt 9 is threadedly connected in the inside of the nut 10, and the opposite sides of the two straight pipes 1 are slidingly connected with a dismounting mechanism 3.

[0033] It should be noted that by passing the bolt 9 through the fixed block two 8 and screwing it into the nut 10, the two straight pipes 1 can be firmly connected together to ensure the overall structural stability of the flowmeter. This connection method not only facilitates installation and dismounting, but also can withstand relatively large fluid pressure, ensuring that the flowmeter can work normally under various working conditions. At the same time, the design of the four fixed blocks two 8 in a ring shape can uniformly distribute the connection force, further improving the reliability of the connection.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4 , the dismounting mechanism 3 includes a plug-in ring 31, the plug-in ring 31 is slidingly connected in the middle part inside the straight pipe 1, the opposite sides of the two ring chambers 41 are provided with plug-in grooves, the plug-in ring 31 is slidingly connected inside the plug-in grooves, the side of the plug-in ring 31 away from the ring chamber 41 is fixedly connected with two sliding blocks 32 distributed in front and back, the side of the sliding block 32 away from the plug-in ring 31 is fixedly connected with a compression spring 36, the middle part of the outer periphery of the straight pipe 1 is fixedly connected with two fixed blocks one 35 distributed in front and back, and the side of the compression spring 36 away from the sliding block 32 is fixedly connected inside the fixed block one 35.

[0035] It should be noted that the dismounting mechanism 3 provides convenience for the installation and dismounting of the balancing mechanism 4. When installing the balancing mechanism 4, the compression spring 36 is in a compressed state, and the plug-in ring 31 is tightly plugged into the plug-in groove of the ring chamber 41 under the elastic force of the compression spring 36, thereby fixing the ring chamber 41 on the straight pipe 1. When it is necessary to dismount the balancing mechanism 4 for maintenance or replacement of the orifice plate sensor 42, only the compression spring 36 needs to be further compressed by operation, and the plug-in ring 31 is withdrawn from the plug-in groove, so that the ring chamber 41 can be easily taken off from the straight pipe 1.

[0036] As Figure 5 shown, the slider 32 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 33 at the middle of the side away from the plug-in ring 31, the connecting rod 33 is fixedly connected with a push plate 34 at the side away from the slider 32, and the compression spring 36 is slidingly sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 33.

[0037] It should be noted that the connecting rod 33 and the push plate 34 provide an easy force point for the operator to easily control the movement of the slider 32, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the plug-in ring 31. The operator only needs to move the push plate 34, which can drive the slider 32 to move through the connecting rod 33, and the compression spring 36 is further compressed, so that the plug-in ring 31 exits the plug-in slot.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the straight pipe 1 is fixedly connected with a pressure tapping pipe 5 at the middle of the upper part, the output end of the pressure tapping pipe 5 is fixedly connected with a three-valve group 6, and the output end of the three-valve group 6 is fixedly connected with a differential pressure transmitter 7.

[0039] It should be noted that the pressure tapping pipe 5 functions to lead out the pressure difference generated before and after the orifice plate sensor 42 and transmit it to the differential pressure transmitter 7. The three-valve group 6 plays a protective and regulating role for the pressure tapping pipe 5 and the differential pressure transmitter 7. When the flowmeter is in normal operation, the three-valve group 6 is in an open state, so that the pressure difference can be smoothly transmitted to the differential pressure transmitter 7; when the flowmeter needs to be maintained or calibrated, the transmission of the pressure difference can be cut off by closing the three-valve group 6 to prevent fluid leakage or damage to the differential pressure transmitter 7. The differential pressure transmitter 7 converts the received pressure difference signal into an electrical signal output, which is proportional to the flow of the fluid, and the flow value of the fluid can be obtained through subsequent signal processing circuit.

[0040] As Figure 3 shown, the opposite side of the two plug-in rings 31 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring two 46.

[0041] It should be noted that the sealing ring two 46 functions to ensure the sealing between the plug-in ring 31 and the plug-in slot of the ring chamber 41, preventing fluid leakage from the plug-in part.

[0042] The utility model discloses a working principle: when fluid enters flowmeter from the flange 2 end of one side straight pipe 1, flow through the orifice sensor 42 in balance mechanism 4. Due to the throttle effect of the hole on orifice sensor 42, fluid produces pressure difference before and after the hole. The pressure difference is led out by pressure tapping 5, and after the adjustment and protection of three valve groups 6, is transferred to differential pressure transmitter 7. Differential pressure transmitter 7 converts pressure difference signal into electric signal output, and the flow of fluid is calculated through subsequent signal processing circuit. In the working process of flowmeter, sealing ring one 45, sealing ring two 46 guarantee the sealing property of each junction, prevent fluid leakage;Positioning block 43 and positioning groove 44 ensure the position accuracy of orifice sensor 42;Dismounting mechanism 3 is convenient for the installation and dismounting of balance mechanism 4, and is convenient for maintenance and element replacement.

[0043] The basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model are shown and described above. The skilled person in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and the description in the specification are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model can also have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
