Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic flow meter display technology, specifically an ultrasonic flow meter display device. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic flow meter is an instrument that uses the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in fluids to measure fluid flow. Its core advantage is non-contact measurement, which eliminates the need to install sensors inside the pipe.

[0003] Existing displays of ultrasonic flow meters typically rely on display cases, which cannot dynamically showcase the flow meters. To address this, we propose an ultrasonic flow meter display device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic flow meter display device to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ultrasonic flow meter display device, comprising a frame, within which a main unit, a power distribution board, a water pump, and a second water tank are installed. A first water tank is installed at the top of the frame, and PVC pipe, PP pipe, PVDF pipe, PFA pipe, brass pipe, and SUS316 pipe are installed at the top of the first water tank. One end of each of the PVC pipe, PP pipe, PVDF pipe, PFA pipe, brass pipe, and SUS316 pipe extends into the interior of the water tank. A third pipe is installed at the other end of each of the PVC pipe, PP pipe, PVDF pipe, PFA pipe, brass pipe, and SUS316 pipe. An ultrasonic flow meter is installed on the third pipe. The third pipe is connected to the first pipe, and the first pipe is connected to the second pipe via a connector. Six second pipes are respectively connected to branch pipes, and each branch pipe is sequentially equipped with a flow regulating valve and an electric switching valve. Multiple branch pipes are connected to a main pipe and then equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0006] Preferably, the diameters of the PVC pipe, PP pipe, PVDF pipe, PFA pipe, brass pipe and SUS316 pipe decrease in that order.

[0007] Preferably, the upper part of the second water tank is provided with a first return water inlet and a second return water inlet, and the first water tank is provided with an interface that cooperates with the first return water inlet and the second return water inlet.

[0008] Preferably, the second water tank is provided with a water inlet at the top, a level gauge is installed in the second water tank, and a manual valve is provided at the bottom of the second water tank.

[0009] Preferably, the second water tank is connected to the water pump via a pipe, on which a chuck valve is installed; the other end of the water pump is connected to the main pipe that connects to the solenoid valve.

[0010] Preferably, the PVC pipe, PP pipe, PVDF pipe, PFA pipe, brass pipe and SUS316 pipe are all fixed to the top of the first water tank by a pressure plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: It integrates six types of pipes: PVC, PP, PVDF, PFA, brass, and SUS316, which can simulate the actual pipe environment of different industries such as chemical, water supply, and food. The pipe diameters of the six types decrease sequentially, which can verify the measurement accuracy of ultrasonic flow meters under different pipe diameters and meet diverse testing needs.

[0012] The fluid circulates through a closed loop of the second water tank, water pump, pipeline, first water tank, and second water tank, eliminating the need for continuous replenishment of new fluid, thus saving water resources (or other test fluids) and reducing test costs. The first water tank serves as the fluid receiving end of the test pipeline, while the second water tank serves as the circulation starting point and liquid storage end. Together with the dual return ports, they ensure smooth return flow, prevent cavitation and flow interruption in the pipeline, and guarantee the stability of the test data.

[0013] Each pipeline has an independent electric on / off valve and flow regulating valve, allowing for individual control of the start / stop and flow rate of a single pipeline. Multiple pipelines can also be opened simultaneously for comparative testing, offering flexible operation. A level gauge is equipped to monitor the level in the second water tank in real time, preventing pump dry running due to water shortage. Data from the ultrasonic flow meter is transmitted to the main unit in real time for easy observation and recording, improving testing efficiency.

[0014] The six types of testing pipelines are uniformly fixed to the top of the first water tank by a pressure plate to prevent pipeline displacement during fluid flow, ensure stable testing position, and improve data accuracy. The bottom of the second water tank is equipped with a manual valve to facilitate the drainage of fluid during equipment maintenance. Each valve (chuck manual valve, electric switch valve, etc.) is an independent component, which can be replaced individually in case of failure, reducing maintenance difficulty.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-7In this embodiment of the present invention, an ultrasonic flow meter display device includes a frame 1. A main unit 14, a power distribution board 15, a water pump 18, and a second water tank 21 are installed inside the frame 1. A first water tank 2 is installed at the top of the frame 1. PVC pipes 4, PP pipes 5, PVDF pipes 6, PFA pipes 7, brass pipes 8, and SUS316 pipes 9 are all fixed to the top of the first water tank 2 by pressure plates 3. The top of the first water tank 2 is equipped with PVC pipes 4, PP pipes 5, PVDF pipes 6, PFA pipes 7, brass pipes 8, and SUS316 pipes 9. The diameters of the PVC pipes 4, PP pipes 5, PVDF pipes 6, PFA pipes 7, brass pipes 8, and SUS316 pipes 9 decrease sequentially. One end of each of the PVC pipes 4, PP pipes 5, PVDF pipes 6, PFA pipes 7, brass pipes 8, and SUS316 pipes 9 extends into the water tank. The other ends of DF pipe 6, PFA pipe 7, brass pipe 8, and SUS316 pipe 9 are all equipped with a third pipe, which is fitted with an ultrasonic flow meter 10. The third pipe is connected to a first pipe 11, which is connected to a second pipe 13 via a connector 12. Fluid is injected through the inlet 25 of the second water tank 21, and the level gauge 22 is observed to ensure that the level meets the circulation requirements. The power distribution board 15 is started to supply power, and after the host 14 activates the system, the water pump 18 starts to run. At the same time, the chuck valve 19 on the pipe and the main solenoid valve are opened to provide power and pathway for fluid circulation. The electric switch valve 17 is used to select a single or multiple pipes to be tested (e.g., only the electric switch valve corresponding to the PVC pipe is opened, or the valves corresponding to the brass pipe and SUS316 pipe are opened simultaneously). Then, the target flow rate is precisely set through the flow regulating valve 16 on each branch pipe to meet the testing requirements under different flow conditions.

[0019] The six second pipes 13 are respectively connected to branch pipes, and each branch pipe is sequentially equipped with a flow regulating valve 16 and an electric switch valve 17. After multiple branch pipes are connected to the main pipe, a solenoid valve is installed. The upper part of the second water tank 21 is provided with a first return water port 23 and a second return water port 24. The first water tank 21 is provided with an interface that cooperates with the first return water port 23 and the second return water port 24. The top of the second water tank 21 is provided with a water inlet 25. The second water tank 21 is equipped with a level gauge 22. The bottom of the second water tank 21 is provided with a manual valve 20. The second water tank 21 is connected to a water pump 18 through a pipe, and a chuck manual valve 19 is installed on the pipe. The other end of the water pump 18 is connected to the main pipe connected to the solenoid valve.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: fluid is injected through the water inlet 25 of the second water tank 21, and the liquid level gauge 22 is observed to ensure that the liquid level meets the circulation requirements; the power distribution board 15 is started to supply power, and after the host 14 activates the system, the water pump 18 starts to run, and at the same time the chuck hand valve 19 on the pipeline and the main pipe solenoid valve are opened to provide power and passage for fluid circulation.

[0021] According to the test requirements, select one or more pipelines to be tested through the electric switch valve 17 (such as opening only the electric switch valve corresponding to the PVC pipe, or opening the valves corresponding to the brass pipe and SUS316 pipe at the same time); and then accurately set the target flow rate through the flow regulating valve 16 on each branch pipe to meet the test requirements under different flow conditions.

[0022] The fluid is diverted from the main pipe to the selected branch pipe, and then passes through the second pipe 13, the connector 12, and the first pipe 11 in sequence, finally entering the corresponding detection pipe (PVC pipe / PP pipe, etc.). The ultrasonic flow meter 10 installed on the third pipe at the end of the detection pipe collects the fluid flow data in real time and transmits the data to the host 14 to realize flow detection and data visualization.

[0023] The fluid that has completed the test flows from the test pipe into the first water tank 2, and then flows back to the second water tank 21 through the first return port 23 and the second return port 24, which are connected to the first water tank 21, forming a closed loop to avoid fluid waste and ensure the stability of the test environment.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
