Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ground source heat pump systems, specifically relating to an integrated flow data acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] In ground source heat pump systems or similar water regulation projects, it is often necessary to monitor and control the flow rates of multiple branch pipelines to ensure system stability and energy efficiency. Current technology typically achieves flow detection and regulation by installing flow meters and control valves at the connection points between the manifold and the branch pipelines. The flow data can be transmitted to a computer terminal via transmission lines, enabling real-time monitoring of the flow rates in each branch. This approach can improve the transparency of system operation to some extent and reduce errors caused by reliance on human experience.

[0003] However, existing flow acquisition devices still have certain shortcomings in engineering applications. Because the system involves multiple branch pipelines, multiple data transmission lines are required. During installation and operation, these transmission lines often become tangled and intertwined, affecting not only the overall neatness of the wiring but also making it difficult to quickly distinguish the corresponding pipelines during subsequent inspection and maintenance, leading to low maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, the transmission lines are usually taut during installation; when adjustments or reorganization are needed, pulling on the transmission lines can easily loosen the flow meter, affecting the accuracy of flow detection and the stability of data transmission. Current technology lacks effective wire harness support and clamping mechanisms to properly support, isolate, and securely fix the transmission lines, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of system reliability and ease of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated traffic data acquisition device that can solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated flow data acquisition device includes a water distribution manifold, with a base at the bottom of the water distribution manifold and fixed pipes evenly distributed at the top of the water distribution manifold.

[0007] Each of the fixed pipes is equipped with a flow meter pipe at its top, and a control valve is installed at the top of the flow meter pipe. A branch line is installed at the top of the control valve.

[0008] An ultrasonic flow meter is installed on the surface of the flow meter pipe, and a data transmission line is connected to the end of the ultrasonic flow meter. Multiple data transmission lines are connected to the data aggregation and display terminal.

[0009] A wire harness support mechanism is provided at the rear of the water distributor, and a wire harness clamping mechanism is provided at the end of the wire harness support mechanism. The wire harness clamping mechanism is used to squeeze and fix the data transmission line.

[0010] Furthermore, the wire harness support mechanism includes sleeves installed on the surfaces of the fixed tubes at both ends, a support rod is vertically upwardly arranged on the back of the sleeve, and a support beam is installed between the two support rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the support beam spans the rear side of multiple flow meter pipes;

[0012] The sleeve is assembled from two C-rings by bolts.

[0013] Furthermore, a support plate is provided on the front side of the support beam, and wire harness fixing seats are uniformly provided on one end of the front surface of the support plate, with multiple data transmission lines respectively placed in the grooves on the upper surface of the wire harness fixing seats.

[0014] Furthermore, the wire harness clamping mechanism includes a sliding plate that vertically penetrates the support beam. Fixed rods are provided on the front sides of both ends of the sliding plate. The two fixed rods are respectively placed on the upper and lower parts of the support plate. Connecting plates are fixed to the front ends of the two fixed rods. The connecting plates are vertically placed on the front side of the support plate.

[0015] Furthermore, pressure plates are evenly arranged on the inner side of the connecting plate, and multiple pressure plates are placed above the wire harness fixing seat. The pressure plates are used to press down and fix the data transmission line.

[0016] Furthermore, a fixing bolt is provided at the center of the back of the skateboard, and a swing plate is rotatably installed on one side of the back of the support beam. A U-shaped groove is provided at the end of the swing plate, and the fixing bolt is placed inside the U-shaped groove.

[0017] Furthermore, a convex plate is symmetrically provided at one end of the back of the support beam, and a threaded rod is vertically and rotatably installed on the inner side of the two convex plates, and a toothed rod is screwed onto the surface of the threaded rod;

[0018] The oscillating plate has protruding teeth evenly arranged on one side of the rotation axis, and the protruding teeth mesh with the toothed rod.

[0019] Furthermore, a drain valve is provided on one side of the bottom of the water distributor.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] In ground source heat pump systems, traditional multi-branch pipeline flow detection relies on manual experience, which can easily lead to inaccurate data and significant deviations during adjustment. This device, by sequentially installing flow meter pipes, ultrasonic flow meters, control valves, and data transmission lines at the connection points between the manifold and each branch pipeline, achieves real-time monitoring of the flow in each branch pipeline. The monitoring data can be transmitted to the data aggregation and display terminal via the data transmission line, ensuring the visualization and accuracy of the entire system's operating data. This effectively avoids errors caused by human judgment and improves the reliability of the project's operation.

[0022] Because the system has multiple branch pipelines, traditional wiring methods often result in tangled and messy data transmission lines, making it difficult to quickly identify the corresponding flow meters and branches during maintenance. This device addresses this by adding a wiring harness support mechanism behind the manifold. Using sleeves, support rods, and support beams to form a stable frame, the cooperation between the support plate and the wiring harness fixing seat allows multiple data transmission lines to be placed sequentially in the grooves, effectively separating and organizing the multiple wiring harnesses. This solves the maintenance inconvenience caused by messy transmission lines and improves the efficiency and safety of the maintenance process.

[0023] In traditional pipeline network operation, data transmission lines are often taut, making them prone to loosening due to pulling during maintenance, thus affecting the stability of flow monitoring and signal transmission. This device addresses this issue by installing a wire harness clamping mechanism on a support beam. The sliding plate, connecting plate, pressure plate, and wire harness fixing seat form an upper and lower clamping structure. The operator can use a threaded rod to drive a toothed rod that engages with the convex teeth, thereby driving the swing plate and sliding plate up and down to achieve stable clamping of the transmission line. This structure effectively secures the transmission line, preventing the ultrasonic flow meter from loosening due to external pulling, thus improving the continuity and stability of data transmission.

[0024] Meanwhile, the drain valve at the bottom of the manifold can quickly discharge residual water during shutdown maintenance or pipeline cleaning, avoiding the inconvenience and secondary pollution risks caused by water accumulation during maintenance of traditional systems, thus ensuring the safety and long-term reliability of system operation.

[0033] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an integrated flow data acquisition device includes a manifold 1. A base 11 is provided at the bottom of the manifold 1 to support the overall weight of the manifold 1 and ensure stable placement. Fixed pipes 13 are evenly arranged on the top of the manifold 1. The fixed pipes 13 are connected to the upper end of the manifold 1 by welding and are used to connect the flow meter pipe 2 and maintain the uniformity of the pipe arrangement. This enables the entire device to distribute and summarize multiple branch pipes 4 in the outdoor pipe network of the ground source heat pump system.

[0036] Multiple fixed pipes 13 are equipped with flow meter pipes 2 at their tops. The flow meter pipes 2 have internal flow chambers containing the measuring sections of ultrasonic flow meters 21. A control valve 3 is located at the top of the flow meter pipes 2, employing a valve core structure for flow regulation. Branch pipes 4 are installed at the top of the control valve 3, connecting to external pipe networks to distribute and transport flow in different loops. Ultrasonic flow meters 21 are mounted on the surface of the flow meter pipes 2, clamped to the outer wall. They use ultrasonic sensors to detect the water flow inside the pipes in real time. Data transmission lines 22 are connected to the ends of the ultrasonic flow meters 21, employing a shielded structure to reduce signal interference. Multiple data transmission lines 22 are connected to a data aggregation display terminal, which displays the flow data of each branch pipe 4 in real time, enabling unified monitoring and management of the entire system.

[0037] A wire harness support mechanism 5 is provided on the rear side of the water distribution manifold 1. The wire harness support mechanism 5 is installed in conjunction with the fixed pipe 13 through the sleeve 51. A wire harness clamping mechanism 6 is provided at the end of the wire harness support mechanism 5. The wire harness clamping mechanism 6 is used to squeeze and fix the data transmission line 22, thereby avoiding the situation where the ultrasonic flow meter 21 becomes loose due to the pulling of the data transmission line 22, and improving the stability of flow detection and data transmission.

[0038] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the wire harness support mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 51 installed on the surface of the fixed pipes 13 at both ends. The sleeve 51 is assembled from two C-shaped rings by bolts. A support rod 52 is vertically installed on the back of the sleeve 51. The support rod 52 is made of metal to improve the structural strength. A support beam 53 is installed between the two support rods 52. The support beam 53 is arranged laterally on the rear side of multiple flow meter pipes 2 to support the wire harness clamping mechanism 6 and the support plate 54 as a whole, ensuring that the routing path of the data transmission line 22 is straight and neat.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a support plate 54 is provided on the front side of the support beam 53. A wire harness fixing seat 55 is evenly provided on one end of the front surface of the support plate 54. Multiple grooves are provided on the surface of the wire harness fixing seat 55. Multiple data transmission lines 22 are placed in the grooves respectively to separate and fix the data transmission lines 22, avoid the data transmission lines 22 from crossing and tangling, and improve the identification and operation convenience during later inspection and maintenance.

[0040] like Figures 4-6As shown, the wire harness clamping mechanism 6 includes a sliding plate 61 that vertically penetrates the support beam 53. The sliding plate 61 is made of wear-resistant material to ensure the stability of the up and down sliding. Fixed rods 62 are provided on the front sides of both ends of the sliding plate 61. The fixed rods 62 are respectively placed at the upper and lower positions of the support plate 54. A connecting plate 64 is fixed to the front end of the fixed rod 62. The connecting plate 64 is vertically placed on the front side of the support plate 54 to support the pressure plate 65 and transmit the downward pressure of the sliding plate 61.

[0041] like Figures 4-6 As shown, pressure plates 65 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the connecting plate 64. The pressure plates 65 are arranged corresponding to the groove positions of the wire harness fixing seat 55. Multiple pressure plates 65 are placed above the wire harness fixing seat 55. When the slide plate 61 moves down, the pressure plates 65 and the grooves of the wire harness fixing seat 55 form a clamping space, thereby pressing down and fixing the data transmission line 22 to avoid affecting the signal stability due to the loosening or displacement of the data transmission line 22.

[0042] like Figures 4-6 As shown, a fixing bolt 63 is provided at the center of the back of the slide plate 61. The fixing bolt 63 is used to cooperate with the U-shaped groove 71 of the swing plate 7. The swing plate 7 is rotatably installed on one side of the back of the support beam 53. The swing plate 7 has a U-shaped groove 71 at its end. The fixing bolt 63 is placed inside the U-shaped groove 71, so that the slide plate 61 moves up and down when the threaded rod 8 rotates.

[0043] like Figures 4-6 As shown, a convex plate 531 is symmetrically arranged at one end of the back of the support beam 53. A threaded rod 8 is vertically and rotatably installed on the inner side of the two convex plates 531. The threaded rod 8 is engaged with the toothed rod 9 through a threaded pair. The toothed rod 9 meshes with the toothed tooth 72 on one side of the rotation axis of the swing plate 7. When the threaded rod 8 rotates, the toothed rod 9 drives the toothed tooth 72 to realize the rotation of the swing plate 7, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the slide plate 61 and the pressure plate 65, and realizing the stable pressing of the data transmission line 22.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a drain valve 12 is provided on one side of the bottom of the water manifold 1. The drain valve 12 is used to discharge the residual water inside the water manifold 1 during system maintenance or shutdown, so as to ensure the safety and convenient maintenance of the system.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] See Figures 1-6In the operation of this integrated flow data acquisition device, the manifold 1 is fixed to the equipment mounting platform via a base 11, which provides stable support for the overall frame. Multiple fixed pipes 13 on the top of the manifold 1 are connected to the flow meter pipes 2. The fixed pipes 13 are evenly distributed to ensure a more balanced distribution of the branch pipes 4. Each flow meter pipe 2 is equipped with a control valve 3 at its top. The valve core of the control valve 3 can be adjusted according to the pipeline requirements, enabling independent control of each branch pipe 4 and preventing hydraulic imbalance caused by differences in pipeline flow rates.

[0047] During operation, the ultrasonic flow meter 21 installed on the surface of the flow meter pipe 2 uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect the water flow inside the pipe in real time. The detection signal is transmitted to the data aggregation display terminal through the data transmission line 22 at the end. The data aggregation display terminal displays and stores the flow data of each branch pipe 4 in real time. Engineering managers can judge the system operating status based on the values ​​displayed on the terminal, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the ground source heat pump system network. Since there are multiple branch pipes 4 in the system, multiple data transmission lines 22 will inevitably be laid in parallel, and the wire harness support mechanism 5 plays a key role in this process.

[0048] Specifically, the wiring harness support mechanism 5 is stably connected to the manifold 1 via a sleeve 51 installed on the surface of the fixed pipe 13. Support rods 52 extend upwards from the back of the sleeve 51, and support beams 53 are horizontally fixed above multiple support rods 52. The support beams 53 serve as the overall load-bearing and support structure. A support plate 54 is installed on the front side of the support beam 53, and wiring harness fixing seats 55 are evenly distributed on the front surface of the support plate 54. Grooves on the surface of the wiring harness fixing seats 55 are used to separate and fix each data transmission line 22, preventing the transmission lines from crossing or tangling. At this time, the installer can place the transmission lines 22 one by one into the grooves in the wiring harness fixing seats 55 according to the layout sequence of the flow meter pipe 2, thereby ensuring the orderly data transmission path and facilitating quick positioning during later maintenance and repair.

[0049] To further enhance the stability of the transmission line 22, the wire harness clamping mechanism 6 achieves clamping and fixing through cooperation with the support beam 53. During operation, the operator can rotate the threaded rod 8 at one end of the back of the support beam 53. The threaded rod 8 drives the toothed rod 9 to move up and down. The toothed rod 9 meshes with the protruding tooth 72 on one side of the rotating shaft of the swing plate 7, causing the swing plate 7 to rotate around the rotating shaft. The U-shaped groove 71 at the end of the swing plate 7 cooperates with the fixing bolt 63, thereby driving the slide plate 61 to move up and down. When the slide plate 61 moves down, the connecting plate 64 moves down accordingly. The pressure plate 65 on the inner side of the connecting plate 64 is opposite to the groove of the wire harness fixing seat 55, forming a compression and fixing of the data transmission line 22. When the pressure plate 65 is pressed into place, the data transmission line 22 is stably clamped in the groove, which not only avoids the problem of unstable measurement of the ultrasonic flow meter 21 due to the loose pipeline, but also prevents the flow meter 21 from shifting due to pulling the data transmission line 22 when tidying up the line.

[0050] In addition, the drain valve 12 installed at the bottom of the manifold 1 plays an important role in operation and maintenance. When the system needs to be shut down for maintenance or the inside of the manifold 1 needs to be cleaned, the residual water can be quickly discharged through the drain valve 12 to avoid water quality instability when the system is restarted due to internal water accumulation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire system.

[0051] As can be seen from the above operation process, this embodiment realizes the real-time monitoring and adjustment of the flow of each branch through the combination of water manifold 1, flow meter pipeline 2, control valve 3, branch pipeline 4, ultrasonic flow meter 21 and data transmission line 22. At the same time, the cooperation of wire harness support mechanism 5 and wire harness clamping mechanism 6 solves the problems of messy transmission lines, difficult maintenance and loose flow meter 21, and realizes the stability of data transmission and the convenience of maintenance operation.

[0052] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: multiple branch pipelines 4 are connected to the manifold 1, and flow meter pipes 2 and control valves 3 are installed at the connection points respectively. The control valve 3 is used to control the flow of a single branch pipeline 4, and the flow meter pipe 2 is used to monitor the flow of a single branch pipeline 4. The detection data of the ultrasonic flow meter 21 is transmitted to the computer terminal through the data transmission line 22 to monitor the flow of multiple branch pipelines 4. The real-time flow of each branch of the outdoor pipe network of the ground source heat pump system can be directly read in real time, which facilitates the pipe network water conservancy adjustment during the system use. In engineering applications, the engineering effect data is realized, avoiding unnecessary errors caused by the past judgment based on human experience.

[0053] Since the entire system will have multiple branch pipelines 4, there will be multiple data transmission lines 22. This will cause the multiple data transmission lines 22 to become tangled during installation, which will be inconvenient for subsequent inspection and maintenance. Therefore, a wire harness support mechanism 5 is added. The installation of the sleeve 51 and the fixed pipe 13 can ensure the position of the support beam 53 and the support plate 54. The multiple data transmission lines 22 are placed in the grooves on the surface of the wire harness fixing seat 55 to isolate the multiple data transmission lines 22, so that the corresponding pipeline can be quickly found according to the wire harness during subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0054] To ensure the neatness of the entire line, the data transmission line 22 is kept taut. This can cause the ultrasonic flow meter 21 to loosen due to pulling on the data transmission line 22 during line tidying, affecting the flow detection and data transmission stability. After the data transmission line 22 is placed on the wire harness fixing seat 55, the threaded rod 8 is rotated to control the height of the toothed rod 9. The rotation of the swing plate 7 can be controlled by the meshing of the toothed rod 9 and the convex tooth 72. At this time, the wire harness clamping mechanism 6 can be moved up and down as a whole by the cooperation of the U-shaped groove 71 and the fixing bolt 63. When the sliding plate 61 moves down, it can drive the connecting plate 64 to move down. The multiple pressure plates 65 on the surface squeeze and fix the data transmission line 22, thereby improving the stability of the data transmission line 22.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
