Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flow meter technology, specifically relating to a pump tube flow meter. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial sectors such as petrochemicals and power energy, continuous and stable flow monitoring of fluids is required. Pump-pipe flow meters, due to their numerous advantages, are widely used in medium- and high-pressure transmission systems and high-purity media measurement scenarios. In municipal water services, with the increasing demand for leakage control in urban water supply networks and the advancement of smart network construction, the reliance on accurate metering equipment is constantly increasing, making pump-pipe flow meters an important flow measurement tool.
[0003] Traditional products lack a cleaning design. When the detection head is contaminated by impurities in the fluid and needs to be cleaned or replaced, the entire flow meter must be removed from the pipeline, making in-situ maintenance impossible. At the same time, most products do not have a specific impurity protection structure, and solid particles in the fluid can easily directly impact the detection components, which not only shortens the service life of the detection head but also requires frequent shutdowns for maintenance, increasing operation and maintenance costs and equipment.

[0018] Example Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a pump pipe flow meter, including, The detection assembly 100 includes a pipe 101, a guide pipe 103 threaded to the inner wall of the pipe 101, a fixing nut 102 threaded to the threaded side wall of the guide pipe 103, and a flow meter body 104 fixedly connected to the top of the guide pipe 103. The fixing nut 102 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pipe 101. The guide pipe 103 is disposed inside the pipe 101. The guide pipe 103 is sealed and inserted into the outside of the detection head of the flow meter body 104. The side wall of the guide pipe 103 is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the detection head at the end of the flow meter body 104. The cleaning assembly 200 includes a sealing cap 201 threaded to the bottom of the pipe 101, a handle 202 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sealing cap 201, a guide rod 203 fixedly connected to the top of the handle 202, a sealing disc 204 fixedly connected to the working surface of the guide rod 203, a brush handle 205 fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod 203, and a brush 206 fixedly installed on the side wall of the brush handle 205, the side wall of the brush 206 being in rotatable contact with the side wall of the guide pipe 103.
[0019] Specifically, the guide tube 103 is cylindrical with threads in the middle section. The detection end is installed inside the pipe 101 via the threaded connection, and the threaded connection between the guide tube 103 and the pipe 101 is reinforced by the fixing nut 102. The flow meter body 104 is installed at the top of the guide tube 103 to display the detection data. The sealing cover 201 is fixed to the opening at the bottom of the pipe 101 by threads. The center of the sealing cover 201 is rotatably connected to the guide rod 203. The bottom end of the guide rod 203 is fixed to the handle 202, and the side is connected to the sealing disc 204 by threads. The sealing disc 204 is close to the inner wall of the sealing cover 201. The top of the guide rod 203 is fixed to the brush handle 205. A brush 206 is provided on the surface that rotates around the guide tube 103. By rotating the handle 202, the brush 206 rotates and cleans the guide tube 103.
[0020] The detection assembly 100 also includes a valve body 105 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pipe 101, and a valve cover 106 fixedly connected to the top of the valve body 105; The detection assembly 100 also includes a groove 110 formed on the inner wall of the valve body 105, a valve 107 slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 110, and a valve stem 108 threadedly connected to the side wall of the valve body 105, with the end of the valve stem 108 rotatably engaged with the side wall of the valve 107. The valve 107 has a limit groove 112 on its side wall and a limit block at the end of the valve stem 108. The limit block at the end of the valve stem 108 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit groove 112.
[0021] Furthermore, the valve body 105 is fixed in the middle section of the pipe 101, and a sliding groove 110 is provided inside. The valve cover 106 is fixed to the top with screws. The valve 107 slides in the sliding groove 110 to control the water flow. A limiting groove 112 is provided on the side wall of the valve 107. The valve stem 108 is threaded into the threaded sleeve provided on the side wall of the valve body 105, and its end extends into the inside of the valve body 105. The valve 107 is inserted from the top opening of the valve body 105. The limiting groove 112 is aligned with the limiting block at the end of the valve stem 108 and slides in. The valve stem 108 can be rotated to push and pull the valve 107 inside the valve body 105. A handle 109 is provided at the end of the valve stem 108 to facilitate the worker to rotate the valve stem 108.
[0022] The detection assembly 100 also includes a flange 111 fixedly connected to the end of the pipe 101, and the flange 111 is symmetrically arranged at the end of the pipe 101.
[0023] Preferably, the pipe 101 is connected to other pipes through flanges 111 at both ends. The side wall of the flange 111 has slots and is fixed to other pipe ends with flanges 111 of the same specification by bolts.
[0024] The detection assembly 100 also includes a flange 111 fixedly connected to the end of the pipe 101, and the flange 111 is symmetrically arranged at the end of the pipe 101.
[0025] The cleaning component 200 also includes a filter screen 207 inserted into the inner wall of the pipe 101. The inner wall of the pipe 101 has a groove, and the filter screen 207 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove in the pipe 101.
[0026] It should be noted that the inner wall of the pipe 101 is provided with a groove for the filter screen 207. The filter screen 207 is inserted into the inner wall of the pipe 101 to screen out impurities and prevent impurities from impacting the guide pipe 103 and causing it to be damaged.
[0027] In use, workers tighten bolts to quickly connect flange 111 to external pipelines. As fluid flows through pipe 101, filter 207 intercepts impurities, and guide pipe 103 directly contacts the fluid to collect parameters, which are displayed in real-time by the flow meter body 104. Rotating handle 109 drives valve 107 to open and close inside valve body 105, controlling water flow for testing or maintenance. When impurities adhere to the surface of guide pipe 103, affecting detection accuracy, rotating handle 202 rotates guide rod 203, causing brush handle 205 and brush 206 to rotate around guide pipe 103, removing surface impurities through friction from the brush 206. Sealing disc 204 maintains a seal as guide rod 203 rotates, preventing fluid leakage.
[0028] In summary, the use of threaded or plug-in connections between parts facilitates individual disassembly and replacement, reducing maintenance costs. The brush 206, driven by the handle 202, cleans the guide tube 103 without the need for specialized tools. The filter screen 207 effectively intercepts debris, preventing impact on the guide tube 103, while the brush 206 promptly removes surface impurities, ensuring testing accuracy and extending the service life of the guide tube 103. The rotation of the handle 109 controls the water flow through the valve 107, facilitating equipment inspection and maintenance by personnel.
