Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cross-correlation flow meter technology, specifically a multi-probe cross-correlation flow meter. Background Technology
[0002] A cross-correlation flow meter, also known as a cross-correlation sound velocity meter, is an instrument for measuring fluid flow rate. Its working principle is based on the relationship between the speed of sound waves emitted by the sensor as they propagate through the fluid and the flow velocity, thus calculating the fluid flow rate.
[0003] In existing multi-probe cross-correlation flow meter devices, the device usually needs to be installed near the power source. The most convenient location is near the power distribution room, or the cable is extended and connected to the device. This means that when disassembling and changing the location, the wiring needs to be reconnected, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, the circuit is usually not built in the detection area, so a generator is needed to drive the power supply, which wastes resources.
[0004] Secondly, when using the device to monitor the water source environment, the detected data is usually transmitted to the computer in the duty room for viewing by designated personnel and is not displayed to the public, making it impossible to intuitively achieve real-time updates and understanding of the external environment.
[0005] To address this, we propose a novel multi-probe cross-correlation flow meter to solve the problems raised in the background technology, which typically requires the device to be installed near a power source, with the most convenient location being near a power distribution room, or by extending the cable to connect to the device. This means that rewiring is required when disassembling and changing the location, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, when using the device to monitor the water source environment, the detected data is usually transmitted to a computer in the duty room for viewing by designated personnel and is not displayed to the public, making it impossible to intuitively and continuously update our understanding of the external environment. Utility Model Content

This means that when disassembling and changing the location, rewiring is required, which is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, when using the device to detect the water source environment, the detected data results are usually transmitted to the computer in the duty room for viewing by a designated person and are not displayed to the public, making it impossible to intuitively achieve real-time updates and understanding of the external environment.

[0014] Preferably, the storage battery is electrically connected to the solar panel and the control box.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This type of multi-probe cross-correlation flow meter is equipped with a solar panel and a storage battery. The solar panel at the top of the support column is powered by a solar panel that is angled from left to right. Adjusting the installation angle helps to maximize the generation of electricity, and the excess electricity is stored in the storage battery in the base to ensure the power supply of the device at night. The storage battery then supplies power to the control box on the fixed pole, which controls and powers each device. The use of this device does not require a separate power line, and it can also be operated in the initial construction site where there is no electricity.
[0017] 2. Secondly, this type of multi-probe cross-correlation flowmeter, through the setting of a detection plate, camera, and display screen, firstly, the temperature and humidity sensor on the detection plate detects and observes the water source environment. By comparing the spectrum of terahertz waves before and after passing through the gas sample, the characteristic spectral lines of the water source can be obtained, thereby monitoring and identifying the water source. The detected data is transmitted to the control box. Then, the camera monitors the surrounding environment in 360 degrees, and the water source detector on the detection plate detects the surrounding water source, displaying the water flow rate and other issues in real time. All the detected data are then displayed on the display screen on the fixed pole, making the detection results more accurate and intuitive, and the data is always available.

The solar panel 201 is set at an angle with the left side lower and the right side higher. Adjusting the installation angle helps to maximize the generation of electricity. Excess electricity is stored in the storage battery 4 in the middle of the base 1 to ensure the power supply to the device at night. The storage battery 4 then supplies power to the control box 305 on the fixing rod 3. The control box 305 controls and supplies power to each device. After installation, the device starts to operate.
