Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air flow meter technology, specifically to an air flow meter assembly. Background Technology
[0002] An air flow meter is a device that converts the flow rate of intake air into an electrical signal. The advantages of an air flow meter include extremely low pressure loss and a wide measurable flow range. The ratio of maximum to minimum flow rate is typically 20:1 or higher, it is suitable for a wide range of industrial pipe diameters, up to 3m, and the output signal is linear with the measured flow rate. It has high accuracy and can measure the flow rate of fluids with conductivity ≥1μs / cm, such as acid, alkali, salt solutions, water, sewage, corrosive liquids, slurry, and mineral slurry. However, air flow meters cannot measure the flow rate of gases, steam, or pure water.
[0003] According to patent authorization announcement number CN211147772U, an air flow meter assembly belongs to the field of air flow meters. It includes a tubular housing, with the right side of the tubular housing as the air inlet. A retaining ring is fixedly connected inside the air inlet. The retaining ring has a groove. L-shaped rods are evenly fixedly connected to the right side of the retaining ring. Fixing posts are evenly fixedly connected inside the groove. A stop block is rotatably connected to the fixing post. A friction pad is fixedly connected to one side of the stop block. A filter is slidably connected inside the retaining ring. An installation sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tubular housing. The upper end of the installation sleeve has a slot. A sealing ring is placed inside the slot. The retaining ring, L-shaped rods and stop block facilitate the installation and removal of the filter, avoiding the drawbacks of using bolts and nuts for fixing. The slot is connected to the cover, and the installation sleeve is connected to the cover plate. This not only facilitates the installation and fixing of the flow meter body, but also facilitates the removal of the flow meter body from the inside of the installation sleeve.
[0004] However, the filters installed inside existing air flow meters are mostly fixed connections. Fixed connections make it difficult to remove the filters, making them difficult to clean and decontaminate. After prolonged use, the filter mesh is easily clogged with dirt, thus affecting the performance. At the same time, the sealing rings at the connecting flanges have poor limiting effects and are prone to coming off the flange, thus affecting the sealing effect of the sealing rings.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The filter mechanism 7 includes a filter bucket 71. The filter bucket 71 is slidably connected to the left side of the inside of the housing 1. A baffle 72 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the inside of the filter bucket 71. The baffle 72 is used to block dirt and prevent the dirt in the lower part of the filter bucket 71 from being blown away when the gas flows in, thus achieving the effect of blocking dirt. Multiple locking blocks 73 are fixedly connected to the right side of the filter bucket 71. A retaining ring 74 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inside of the housing 1. The retaining ring 74 has multiple locking holes 75. The locking blocks 73 slide and engage with the locking holes 75 to limit the position of the filter bucket 71. The locking blocks 73 are slidably connected to the inside of the locking holes 75. An anti-slip ring 76 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inside of the housing 1. The anti-slip ring 76 is used to limit and prevent the filter bucket 71 from slipping. The anti-slip ring 76 is close to the outside of the filter bucket 71. The filter bucket 71 is located to the left of the retaining ring 74.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 The sealing mechanism 8 includes an annular groove 81. The inlet flange 2 and the outlet flange 3 are each provided with an annular groove 81.

[0026] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the gas flows into the interior of the filter bucket 71 through the inlet flange 2, filters the gas through the filter bucket 71, and then the filtered dirt falls and is collected at the lower end of the interior of the filter bucket 71. Then the gas flows into the interior of the housing 1 through the filter bucket 71, and finally is discharged through the outlet flange 3.
[0027] The first gasket 82, the elastic ring 83, and the second gasket 84 are used to limit the movement, thereby increasing the stability of the installation and ensuring that the connection between the inlet flange 2 and the outside and the connection between the outlet flange 3 and the outside are sealed to prevent gas leakage.
