Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flow meter technology, specifically a pipeline-type thermal gas flow meter. Background Technology
[0002] Thermal mass flow meters are flow meters that measure fluid mass flow by utilizing the temperature field changes generated when a fluid flows through a pipe heated by an external heat source, or by utilizing the relationship between the energy required for the fluid temperature to rise to a certain value when heating the fluid and the fluid mass. This enables high-precision measurement of gas mass flow.
[0003] Existing pipeline thermal gas flow meters require gaskets for protection and sealing during installation. However, the performance of conventional gaskets gradually declines after prolonged use, affecting normal operation and causing significant transmission of pipeline vibrations to the flow meter, thus compromising safety. Therefore, we propose a pipeline thermal gas flow meter. Utility Model Content

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0025] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0026] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a pipeline-type thermal gas flow meter.

Compared with traditional gaskets, this protective pad mechanism has strong support, high corrosion resistance, good sealing effect, and a certain elastic buffering effect. At the same time, it can accelerate the dissipation of heat generated during the operation of the measuring mechanism, has a longer overall service life, and can effectively ensure the safety of the measuring mechanism.
[0028] Furthermore, the measuring mechanism includes a housing 310 mounted on the mounting pipe 100, a sensor substrate 320 disposed within the housing 310, a silicon nitride thin film 330 fixed inside the sensor substrate 320, a heating resistor 340 disposed within the silicon nitride thin film 330, temperature measuring resistors 350 distributed on both sides of the heating resistor 340, and an instrument 360 mounted on the housing 310. The heating resistor 340 releases heat during operation, the temperature measuring resistors 350 detect the heat on both sides of the heating resistor 340, and the flowing medium carries away the heat generated by the heating resistor 340, thereby realizing the measurement of flow rate.
[0029] Specifically, the shock absorption mechanism includes a heat dissipation sleeve 370 disposed on the outer layer of the buffer layer 220 and located on the side of the sealing layer 230, and a spring 380 disposed inside the heat dissipation sleeve 370. The heat dissipation sleeve 370 and the spring 380 can play a good shock absorption role for the housing 310. At the same time, the honeycomb design of the heat dissipation sleeve 370 can further improve the heat dissipation effect and has high practicality.
[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the housing 310 is provided with a heat dissipation port 390 located above the heat dissipation layer 240. Through the heat dissipation port 390, the heat transferred from below the heat dissipation layer 240 can flow to the heat dissipation sleeve 370 and be discharged outward, which is highly practical.
[0031] Preferably, the buffer layer 220 is made of fluororubber with a thickness of 0.5-2mm. The fluororubber structure has a certain elastic buffering effect, thereby reducing the impact of pipeline vibration on the stainless steel support layer 210.
[0032] Preferably, the sealing layer 230 adopts a flexible graphite plate structure, which has good corrosion resistance and sealing performance.
[0033] Preferably, the heat dissipation layer 240 is a graphene and carbon fiber composite structure, wherein the graphene accounts for 10%-30% of the mass, and the carbon fiber is distributed in a mesh, resulting in better heat dissipation.
[0034] Furthermore, the heat dissipation sleeve 370 has a honeycomb silicone rubber structure, which can achieve a good heat dissipation effect, and together with the spring 380, it has a certain shock absorption effect.
[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, press the bottom of the housing 310, which is fixed by the heat dissipation sleeve 370 and the spring 380. Then, place the composite gasket composed of the stainless steel support layer 210, the buffer layer 220, the sealing layer 230 and the heat dissipation layer 240 under the stainless steel support layer 210, so that the heat dissipation sleeve 370 is located on the side of the sealing layer 230 and the heat dissipation layer 240. Finally, bolt the housing 310 onto the installation pipe 100. During the installation process, appropriately compress the spring 380 and the composite gasket until the housing 310 is stably installed on the installation pipe 100.
