Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flue gas velocity measurement, and more specifically, it relates to a portable ultrasonic flue gas velocity meter. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main method for measuring flue gas flow rate in China is differential pressure measurement. The sampling tube is designed with an S-shaped Pitot tube at the front end and a pressure sensor at the rear end. The flow rate is obtained by measuring the pressure difference between the two channels, thereby calculating the flue gas velocity. However, since flue gas contains corrosive gases, dust, water vapor, etc., and the outlet flue gas of wet desulfurization units contains viscous gypsum droplets, this can cause blockage at the front end of the existing measuring instruments. Furthermore, for flue gas with relatively low flow velocities, the accuracy requirements for pressure sensors are high, and existing pressure sensors often have large measurement errors.

[0028] Example: A portable ultrasonic flue gas velocity meter, see attached document. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 The device includes an ultrasonic fixing rod 1, an outer tube 2, a handle, an ultrasonic generator 3, an ultrasonic receiver 4, and a control component 5. The ultrasonic fixing rod 1 is inserted into the flue. One end of the outer tube 2 is hinged to one end of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1, and the outer tube 2 and the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 are inserted into the flue together. The handle is connected to the end of the outer tube 2 away from the ultrasonic fixing rod 1. The ultrasonic generator 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1. The ultrasonic receiver 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 where the ultrasonic generator 3 is located and is used to receive the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generator 3. The control component 5 is used to control the rotation of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 relative to the outer tube 2.

[0029] When in use, insert the outer tube 2 and ultrasonic fixing rod 1 into the flue using the handle. Then, the control component 5 drives the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 to rotate 60° on the outer tube 2, and then the flue gas velocity measurement begins. After the measurement is completed, the control component 5 drives the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 to rotate back to the initial position, and then the handle drives the outer tube 2 and ultrasonic fixing rod 1 to be pulled out of the flue.

[0030] Specifically, two fixed seats 11 are fixedly connected to the ultrasonic fixing rod 1. The two fixed seats 11 are arranged along the length of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1. The ultrasonic generator 3 and the ultrasonic receiver 4 are fixedly connected to the two fixed seats 11 respectively.

[0031] Specifically, a connector 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 near the outer tube 2, and a connector 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer tube 2 near the ultrasonic fixing rod 1. The connector 12 is hinged to the connector 21 to achieve the hinged connection of the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 on the outer tube 2.

[0032] Specifically, one side of the connector 12 is rotatably connected to the connector seat 21; the control assembly 5 includes a control rod 51 and a control element 52. The control rod 51 is disposed inside the outer tube 2 and can slide within the outer tube 2 along the length of the outer tube 2; one end of the control element 52 is rotatably connected to the end of the control rod 51 near the control element 52, and the other end of the control element 52 is rotatably connected to the end of the connector 12 away from the hinge point between the connector 12 and the connector seat 21.

[0033] By sliding the control rod 51 within the outer tube 2, the control component 52 can be pushed to rotate the connector 12, thereby causing the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 to rotate.

[0034] Specifically, the control component 5 also includes a pin 54 and a fixing plate 55. A through groove is provided on one side of the outer tube 2 away from the ultrasonic fixing rod 1, penetrating the side wall of the outer tube 2. One end of the pin 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the control rod 51 away from the control component 52, and the other end extends out of the outer tube 2 through the through groove, and the pin 54 can slide in the through groove along the length direction of the outer tube 2. The fixing plate 55 is rotatably connected to the outside of the outer tube 2. The fixing plate 55 is perpendicular to the pin 54 and the rotation axis of the fixing plate 55 is parallel to the pin 54. Two slots 56 are provided on the fixing plate 55. When the side of the fixing plate 55 with slots 56 is rotated to the direction of the axis of the outer tube 2, the pin 54 can be respectively inserted into the two slots 56.

[0035] By setting the fixing plate 55, the pin 54 can be locked in the two slots 56 respectively. When the pin 54 is locked in the slot 56 close to the ultrasonic fixing rod 1, the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 is in a 60° rotation position. When the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 is in the slot 56 away from the ultrasonic fixing rod 1, the ultrasonic fixing rod 1 is in the initial position.

[0036] Specifically, the fixing plate 55 is rotatably connected to the outside of the outer tube 2 via a rotating shaft. The fixing plate 55 is also threaded with a non-detachable screw, which fixes the fixing plate 55 in the position outside the outer tube 2 by rotating.

[0037] Specifically, a sealing gasket 53 is fixedly connected to the control rod 51 and fits against the inner wall of the outer tube 2. The sealing gasket 53 prevents the flue gas in the flue from entering the outer tube 2.

[0038] Specifically, two flange fasteners are fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the outer tube 2 away from the ultrasonic fixing rod 1, and the two flange fasteners are fixedly connected to the handle.
