Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orifice plate flow meter technology, specifically a novel dual differential pressure orifice plate flow meter. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, energy metering, municipal water supply and other fields, flow measurement is a key link in realizing process control, cost accounting and resource optimization. Orifice plate flow meters have become one of the most widely used differential pressure flow meters due to their advantages such as simple structure, low cost and wide applicability to a wide range of media (such as gas, liquid and steam). Their working principle is based on Bernoulli's equation: when fluid flows through the orifice plate in the pipe, the flow velocity increases due to the reduction of the flow area, the static pressure decreases, and a differential pressure is formed upstream and downstream of the orifice plate. The fluid flow rate can be calculated by measuring this differential pressure value.

[0003] Currently, most orifice plate flow meters cannot control the flow velocity of fluid passing through the orifice plate, and the shrinkage ratio is fixed in traditional orifice plate designs, resulting in a large pressure loss when the fluid flows through the orifice plate. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of dual differential pressure orifice plate flow meter to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel dual differential pressure orifice plate flow meter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel dual differential pressure orifice plate flow meter, comprising a pipe, an orifice plate body fixedly disposed at one end of the pipe, a flow velocity tube installed inside the pipe, the flow velocity tube being able to control the flow velocity of fluid passing through the orifice plate body, a fixing block welded to the outside of the pipe, and a fixing component disposed inside the fixing block, the fixing component being able to replace the flow velocity tube.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing component includes a movable groove formed inside the fixing block, a screw is rotatably connected to the inside of the movable groove via a bearing, a connecting plate is threaded to the outside of the screw, a locking block is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and a locking groove is formed on the inner wall of the flow tube, the inside of the locking groove is slidably connected to one side of the locking block.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the screw extends to the outside of the fixing block and is welded with a rotating plate, and a handle is installed on one side of the rotating plate.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the orifice plate body is connected to a high-pressure delivery pipe and a low-pressure delivery pipe, and identification tags are affixed to the outside of both the high-pressure delivery pipe and the low-pressure delivery pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a pressure detector is inserted at the bottom end of the high-pressure delivery pipe and the low-pressure delivery pipe, and a differential pressure transmitter is inserted at the bottom end of the pressure detector.

[0010] Preferably, the differential pressure transmitter is equipped with a display at its front end, which allows operators to easily adjust the pressure inside the orifice plate flowmeter.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, when it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of the orifice plate body, the flow rate tube is placed into the pipe, and the operator turns the handle. The handle drives the rotating plate to rotate, and the screw rotates with the rotating plate. Since the screw and the connecting plate are threadedly engaged, the screw drives the connecting plate to move during rotation. The connecting plate drives the locking block to engage in the locking groove, which can fix the flow rate tube, thereby allowing the flow rate inside the orifice plate body to be adjusted.
