It can also measure the volumetric or mass flow rate under standard conditions. Its main applications include flow measurement of fluids in industrial pipelines, such as gases, liquids, steam, and other media.
[0003] Existing dual-probe vortex flow meters are usually fixed with limit screws, but the limit screws are prone to corrosion due to environmental factors, making it inconvenient to disassemble and maintain the device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-probe vortex flow meter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0021] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A dual-probe vortex flow meter includes a measuring tube 1, flanges 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the measuring tube 1, a probe mounting base 3 fixedly connected to the circumference of the measuring tube 1, a first connecting base 4 fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the probe mounting base 3, a first probe 8 and a second probe 16 respectively installed inside the two first connecting bases 4, a connecting wire 17 fixedly connected to the ends of the first probe 8 and the second probe 16, and a connector 5 installed inside the first connecting base 4, with the connecting wire 17 passing through the connector 5.
[0023] The probe mounting base 3 is externally engaged with a limiting frame 9. The limiting frame 9 is internally rotatably connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 10. The external thread of the bidirectional threaded rod 10 is connected to a limiting rod 12. There are two limiting rods 12, which are symmetrically distributed. The opposite surfaces of the two limiting rods 12 are fixedly connected to a second limiting post 14. The end of the connector 5 near the limiting rod 12 is provided with a slot 15, and the second limiting post 14 is engaged with the slot 15. The end of the limiting rod 12 is provided with a limiting groove 13, and the connecting line 17 is located inside the limiting groove 13. When the device is in use, the first probe 8 and the second probe 16 are installed inside the measuring tube 1 from the top and bottom ends, respectively. The first probe 8 and the second probe 16 are installed and limited by the connector 5. Then, the limiting frame 9 is engaged with the probe fixing seat 3. By rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 10, the limiting rods 12 on both sides simultaneously drive the second limiting post 14 to engage with the inside of the slot 15, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing of the connector 5. There is no need for threaded connection, which can avoid the increased difficulty of flow meter maintenance due to corrosion of the connector 5.
[0024] Both first connecting seats 4 have annular grooves 6 at their ends away from the probe fixing seat 3. A sealing ring 7 is installed inside the annular groove 6, and the connecting head 5 is in contact with the outer surface of the sealing ring 7. By pressing the sealing ring 7 with the connecting head 5, the sealing performance of the connecting head 5 can be enhanced, and the sealing ring 7 can also be used to prevent corrosion between the connecting head 5 and the first connecting seat 4.
[0025] The limiting frame 9 has a first limiting post 11 fixedly connected inside, and both limiting rods 12 are slidably connected to the outside of the first limiting post 11. The first limiting post 11 limits the movement path of the two limiting rods 12, thereby enhancing the stability of the movement of the two limiting rods 12.
[0026] A handle is mounted on the top of the double-threaded rod 10, and the outside of the handle is provided with anti-slip texture. The double-threaded rod 10 is rotated by using the handle, making it easy to rotate.
[0027] Both connecting wires 17 have a second connecting seat 18 inserted at the end furthest from the first probe 8 and the second probe 16. A fixing post 21 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the second connecting seat 18, and a locking block 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing post 21 furthest from the second connecting seat 18. The connection between the connecting wires 17 and the second connecting seat 18 makes it easy to install and remove the connecting wires 17.
[0028] The probe mounting base 3 has a slot 19 inside, and the locking block 20 is inserted into the slot 19. The flow meter display 22 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second connecting base 18. By using the locking block 20 to insert into the slot 19, the flow meter display 22 can be quickly installed.
[0029] The measuring tube 1 is equipped with a vortex generator for use with two probes. When in use, gas, liquid or steam is injected into the measuring tube 1. After being detected by the two probes, the signal is transmitted to the second connector 18 through the connecting line 17. The second connector 18 is equipped with a frequency detector and a signal converter. The output signal is displayed through the flow meter display 22.
[0030] Working principle: In use, the first probe 8 and the second probe 16 are installed inside the measuring tube 1 from the top and bottom ends respectively. The first probe 8 and the second probe 16 are installed and limited by the connector 5. Then, the limiting frame 9 is engaged with the outside of the probe fixing seat 3. By rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 10, the limiting rods 12 on both sides simultaneously drive the second limiting post 14 to engage with the inside of the slot 15, thereby realizing the limiting and fixing of the connector 5. No threaded connection is required, which can avoid the increased difficulty of flow meter maintenance due to rust on the connector 5.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
