Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment, and in particular to a turbine flow meter. Background Technology
[0002] A turbine flow meter is an instrument used to measure the flow rate of fluids (liquid or gas), and is widely used in petroleum, chemical, natural gas, pharmaceutical, food, and environmental protection industries. It is based on the principles of fluid dynamics, calculating the flow rate by measuring the rotational speed of the fluid as it flows through the turbine blades. The working principle of a turbine flow meter is based on energy conversion in fluid dynamics. When fluid passes through the turbine flow meter, the fluid's kinetic energy causes the turbine blades to rotate. The turbine's rotational speed is directly proportional to the fluid's velocity; by measuring the turbine's rotational speed, the fluid's flow rate can be calculated.
[0003] The following defects in existing turbine flow meters need to be addressed;
[0004] 1. Existing magnetic turbine flow meters typically have their magnets installed around the impeller. This placement makes the magnets prone to attracting foreign matter, which can lead to unstable impeller rotation. Although installing magnets with the smallest possible size can prevent this, the results are not ideal.
[0005] 2. Existing magnetic turbine flow meters generally use stainless steel for their impeller shafts to improve durability. While stainless steel offers good wear resistance, it still experiences significant wear over time, affecting accuracy. Using more expensive titanium alloys or Hastelloy alloys for the impeller shaft would substantially increase production costs.
[0006] 3. Existing flow meters are directly installed inside the pipeline and can only be disassembled after the bypass valve is removed, making disassembly and maintenance difficult. Utility Model Content
[0007] The utility model description section introduces a series of simplified concepts, all of which are simplifications of existing technologies in the field, and will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description section is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a turbine flow meter that can prevent the magnet of the turbine flow meter from being affected by foreign objects in the fluid, has low production cost and is easy to install.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a turbine flow meter, comprising:
[0010] The main body 1 is formed in a shape that is compatible with the valve body flow meter mounting part 2, and can be inserted and fixed to the valve body flow meter mounting part 2;

[0013] Hall element 6 is installed in Hall element mounting part 7 of main body 1.
[0014] Preferably, the turbine flow meter is further improved in that the main body 1 is formed as a variable diameter column with a radius that gradually increases from the top to the bottom.
[0015] Preferably, the turbine flow meter is further improved such that the outer wall of the main body 1 has a plurality of protrusions, which are interference-fitted into the valve body flow meter mounting part 2.
[0016] Preferably, in a further improvement of the turbine flow meter, a second recess is formed on the outer wall of the main body 1, and the second recess cooperates with the pin to fix the main body 1 in the valve body flow meter mounting part 2.
[0017] Preferably, in a further improvement to the turbine flow meter, the impeller assembly 4 includes:
[0018] Corundum 4.3, which rests between the impeller shaft 4.6 and the flow meter blade 4.1;
[0019] The impeller shaft 4.6 has one end fixed in the impeller mounting part 3 and the other end abutting against the corundum 4.3;
[0020] Clamp 4.4, fixed to bushing 4.2, is used to prevent fan blade 4.1 and impeller shaft 4.6 from detaching.
[0021] Preferably, in a further improvement of the turbine flow meter, the Hall element mounting portion 7 is formed as a mounting groove or mounting hole.
[0022] Preferably, in a further improvement of the turbine flow meter, when the Hall element mounting portion 7 is formed as a mounting groove, it has a mounting groove cover plate;
[0023] The Hall element mounting section 7 is configured for mounting and has a mounting hole cover plate.
[0024] Preferably, in a further improvement of the turbine flow meter, the top wall of the annular magnet 5 is flush with the outer wall surface of the portion of the impeller assembly 4 inserted into the impeller mounting part 3.
[0025] Preferably, the turbine flow meter is further improved by forming a titanium-plated layer on the impeller shaft 4.6.
[0026] This utility model can achieve at least the following technical effects through structural design;
[0027] 1. This utility model makes the magnet into a ring magnet and puts it on the impeller. The impeller and the main body together form a ring magnet protective structure to wrap the magnetic ring and prevent the ring magnet from being affected by foreign objects in the fluid.
[0028] 2. This utility model uses titanium plating to protect the stainless steel impeller shaft, which improves wear resistance and is cheaper than directly replacing the impeller shaft material.
[0029] 3. The flow meter is installed on the main valve body using a pin or interference quick-connect fitting, making disassembly and reassembly convenient. Attached Figure Description
