[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figures 1-7As shown, a dynamic detection device for an ultrasonic gas meter module includes a sealing fixture 1, which includes an inlet pipe 11, an outlet pipe 12, and a sealed space 13 located inside the same end; an ultrasonic gas meter module 2 located in the sealed space 13, which includes an ultrasonic gas meter housing 21 and a transducer module 22 mounted on the ultrasonic gas meter housing 21, wherein the ultrasonic gas meter housing 21 has an inlet 211 communicating with the inlet pipe 11 and an outlet 212 communicating with the sealed space 13; a sonic nozzle device 3, which includes a first sonic nozzle 31 communicating with the inlet pipe 11, a second sonic nozzle 32 communicating with the outlet pipe 12, and a control board 33 for controlling the gas flow rate inside the first sonic nozzle 31 and the second sonic nozzle 32; and a main control board 4, one end of which is connected to the transducer module 22 via a wire, and the other end of which is connected to the control board 33 via a wire.
[0028] The transducer module 22 includes a PCB board 221 and transducers 222 located on both sides of the PCB board 221. The transducers 222 are located close to the interior of the ultrasonic gas meter housing 21. A sealing ring 2221 is arranged around the transducers 222 to isolate the interior of the ultrasonic gas meter housing 21 from the external environment, so that the gas introduced by the first sonic nozzle 31 enters only from the inlet 211 and exits only from the outlet 212.
[0029] The main control board 4 is also connected to the display screen 6 via wires.
[0030] Specifically, the first sonic nozzle 31 of the sonic nozzle device 3 is connected to the air inlet pipe 11, and the second sonic nozzle 32 of the sonic nozzle device 3 is connected to the air outlet pipe 12. The control board 33 controls the gas flow rate of the first sonic nozzle 31 to be introduced. The gas enters the inlet 211 of the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 through the air inlet pipe 11 of the sealing fixture 1, and then is discharged into the sealed space 13 through the outlet 212 of the ultrasonic gas meter module 2. Finally, it is discharged from the air outlet pipe 12 and into the second sonic nozzle 32.
[0031] The transducer module 22 located in the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 will transmit a series of electrical signals to the main control board 4 under the action of different flow rates of gas. The main control board 4 will process the signals and display them on the display screen 6. On the other hand, the main control board 4 will feed back the electrical signals transmitted by the transducer module 22 to the control board 33, which will control the change of gas flow inside the first sonic nozzle 31.
[0032] In the ultrasonic gas meter module 2, the transducer 222 located in the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 will change its sensitivity, frequency response, signal attenuation and other values under the action of different flow rates of gas. By comparing the values with those of the transducer 222 in the qualified ultrasonic gas meter, unqualified ultrasonic gas meter modules 2 can be screened out.
[0033] This invention determines whether the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 is qualified by embedding an ultrasonic gas meter module 2 inside a sealed fixture 1 and introducing gas of different flow rates into the ultrasonic gas meter module 2. The values of sensitivity, frequency response, and signal attenuation fed back by the transducer 222 inside the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 are compared with the values of sensitivity, frequency response, and signal attenuation fed back by a qualified transducer 222. This avoids the need for subsequent repair and disassembly of unqualified ultrasonic gas meters, saves repair time, and avoids the waste of repair materials.
[0034] Furthermore, the intake pipe 11 is provided with an intake contact portion 111 that abuts against the front end of the first sonic nozzle 31 after being pressed down, and the exhaust pipe 12 is provided with an exhaust contact portion 121 that abuts against the front end of the second sonic nozzle 32 after being pressed down.
[0035] It should be noted that the first sonic nozzle 31 will only enter the intake pipe 11 after being pressed down, and the gas in the first sonic nozzle 31 will only enter the sealing device 1 from the intake pipe 11 after the front end of the first sonic nozzle 31 abuts against the intake contact part 111 of the intake pipe 11. Similarly, the second sonic nozzle 32 will only enter the exhaust pipe 12 after being pressed down, and the gas in the sealing device 1 will only be discharged from the exhaust pipe 12 and reach the second sonic nozzle 32 after the front end of the second sonic nozzle 32 abuts against the exhaust contact part 121 of the exhaust pipe 12.
[0036] The sealing fixture 1 includes a base plate 14, a top plate 15, a short side plate 16, and a long side plate 17. The short side plate 16 is located on the left and right sides of the base plate 14 and is fixedly mounted on the base plate 14. The long side plate 17 is located on the front and rear sides of the base plate 14 and is fixedly mounted on the base plate 14. The top plate 15 is arranged opposite to the base plate 14 and is connected to the side of the short side plate 16 and the long side plate 17 away from the base plate 14.
[0037] The inner wall of the base plate 14 has a circumferential groove 141. Bolts pass through the groove 141 and the short side plate 16 to connect the base plate 14 and the short side plate 16. Bolts also pass through the groove 141 and the long side plate 17 to connect the base plate 14 and the long side plate 17. The short side plate 16 has positioning grooves 161 at the center of both sides. Bolts pass through the long side plate 17 and the positioning grooves 161 to connect the long side plate 17 and the short side plate 16. The inner wall of the top plate 15 has a circumferential groove 151. Bolts pass through the groove 151 and the short side plate 16 to connect the top plate 15 and the short side plate 16. Bolts also pass through the groove 151 and the long side plate 17 to connect the top plate 15 and the long side plate 17.
[0038] The air inlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 12 are both located on the top plate 15, and the top plate 15 is also provided with a round hole for installing a handle.
[0039] On the one hand, the base plate groove 141, top plate groove 151, and positioning groove 161 facilitate bolt positioning and further tightening, enabling quick connection between the base plate 14, top plate 15, short side plate 16, and long side plate 17. On the other hand, the base plate 14, top plate 15, short side plate 16, and long side plate 17 are relatively thick, and the base plate groove 141 and top plate groove 151 are located on the outer ring of the base plate 14 and top plate 15, while the positioning groove 161 is located in the middle position on both sides of the short side plate 16. The inner wall of the sealing fixture 1 is not damaged, thus improving the sealing performance inside the sealing fixture 1.
[0040] A main control board 4 is provided on the long side plate 17. The wires connecting the main control board 4 and the transducer module 22 pass through the long side plate 17. The wires have a sealing sleeve 171 that isolates the sealed space 13 from the external environment, so that the sealed space 13 is sealed and the gas supplied by the sonic nozzle device 3 does not leak out.
[0041] In order to make the sealing fixture 1 applicable to different models of ultrasonic gas meter modules 2, an adapter pipe 5 is also provided between the air inlet pipe 11 and the inlet 211. The adapter pipe 5 can connect the sealing fixture 1 to the inlet 211 of different models of ultrasonic gas meter modules 2, thereby improving the compatibility of the sealing fixture 1.
[0042] The ultrasonic gas meter module 2 includes a housing 23 that covers the transducer module 22. The housing 23 is used to protect the transducer module 22 from damage by external forces and extend the service life of the transducer module 22.
[0043] This invention uses a sealing fixture 1 to ensure that gases of different flow rates inside the sonic nozzle device 3 do not leak out. It can perform multiple tests on the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 using gases of different flow rates, ensuring the accuracy of dynamic testing of the ultrasonic gas meter module 2 and thus improving the accuracy of screening out unqualified ultrasonic gas meter modules 2. Secondly, the sealing fixture 1 enables the sonic nozzle device 3 to be adapted to different types of ultrasonic gas meter modules 2 for dynamic testing, improving the efficiency of testing.
