Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas flow measurement technology, specifically to a portable ultra-high flow aerosol sampler calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-high flow rate aerosol samplers are key equipment in fields such as radiation environment monitoring, and the accuracy of their sampling flow rate directly affects the reliability of monitoring data. To ensure data accuracy, these samplers require regular flow rate calibration.
[0003] Traditional calibration methods typically involve disassembling the sampler and sending it to a metrology laboratory. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has high maintenance costs. Furthermore, differences between the laboratory environment and field conditions can lead to inaccurate calibration results. Therefore, on-site online calibration is becoming the future trend. Currently, some on-site calibrations utilize turbine flow meters, but these devices suffer from the following problems:
[0004] (1) The equipment is large and heavy, making it inconvenient to transport and handle on site;
[0005] (2) The installation is complicated. It usually needs to be connected to the outlet of the sampler, which is inconvenient to operate and has high requirements for on-site installation conditions;
[0006] (3) The measurement position is located at the end of the sampling process. If there is a leak in the internal pipeline of the sampler, it cannot accurately reflect the true inlet sampling flow rate, which will affect the accuracy of the calibration.
[0007] (4) They usually rely on external power supply, which limits their use in outdoor scenarios. Therefore, developing a portable and easy-to-use on-site calibration device for ultra-high flow aerosol samplers is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

The orifice flowmeter kit includes a hollow cylindrical body and a throttling orifice plate horizontally installed inside the cylindrical body. A pressure port for exporting differential pressure signals is provided on the side wall of the cylindrical body.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left", "right", "front", "rear", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with specific embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0026] Implementation method 1: such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this portable high-flow-rate aerosol sampler calibration device includes an orifice flowmeter kit 1 for installation on the air inlet of the aerosol sampler to be calibrated, and a calibration device host 2 connected to the orifice flowmeter kit 1. The orifice flowmeter kit 1 includes a hollow cylindrical body 11 and a throttling orifice plate 12 horizontally installed inside the cylindrical body 11. The cylindrical body 11 has a pressure interface 13 for exporting differential pressure signals on its side wall, and a quick-release flange 14 for forming a sealed connection with the air inlet of the aerosol sampler is connected to the bottom of the cylindrical body 11. The calibration device host 2 is connected to the pressure interface 13 of the orifice flowmeter kit 1 via a connecting hose 3. The calibration device host 2 has a built-in differential pressure sensing module 21 and a control processing module 22. The calibration device host 2 has a display screen 23, and the control processing module 22 is electrically connected to the differential pressure sensing module 21 and the display screen 23.
[0027] The orifice flowmeter kit 1 is used to seal and connect with the air inlet 101 of the aerosol sampler 100 to be calibrated during calibration. The orifice flowmeter kit 1 achieves a reliable sealing connection through a quick-release flange 14 with a sealing ring at the bottom and a clamp seal. A throttling orifice plate 12 is horizontally fixed inside the cylindrical body 11. The throttling orifice plate 12 is the core component for flow measurement. When airflow passes through it, a pressure difference related to the flow rate is generated before and after it. The pressure port 13 on the side wall of the cylindrical body 11 is used to export the pressure difference signal before and after the throttling orifice plate 12. The calibration device host 2 serves as a portable control and display unit. It is connected to the pressure interface 13 of the orifice flowmeter kit 1 via the connecting hose 3, and performs human-machine interaction and data display through the display screen 23. The core of the calibration device host 2 is the control processing module 22. The differential pressure sensing module 21 collects the pressure difference transmitted by the pressure interface 13 and generates an analog electrical signal. The analog electrical signal is filtered and amplified by the signal conditioning circuit, and then converted into a digital signal by the analog-to-digital converter upstream of the control processing module 22 and sent to the control processing module 22.
[0028] Implementation method 2: such as Figure 2 As shown, the main unit 2 of this portable high-flow-rate aerosol sampler calibration device also includes a temperature sensing module 24 and an atmospheric pressure sensing module 25, which are signal-connected to the control processing module 22. The main unit 2 also includes a rechargeable power supply module 26. The remaining structures and components are as described in Embodiment 1 and will not be repeated.
[0029] During on-site calibration, the power supply module 26 provides a stable operating voltage for the entire host 2; the differential pressure sensing module 21, the temperature sensing module 24, and the atmospheric pressure sensing module 25 respectively collect the original analog electrical signals of differential pressure, temperature, and atmospheric pressure; these analog electrical signals are first sent to the signal conditioning circuit for filtering and amplification, and then converted into digital signals by the analog-to-digital converter and sent to the control processing module 22.
[0030] Implementation method 3: such as Figure 2 As shown, the calibration device host 2 of this portable ultra-high flow aerosol sampler calibration device also includes a data storage unit 27 and a communication interface 28.
[0031] In use: Open the rain cap 102 of the aerosol sampler 100. First, install the orifice flow meter kit 1 on the air inlet 101 of the aerosol sampler 100, and connect the main unit 2 to the orifice flow meter kit 1 using the connecting hose 3. Then, start the aerosol sampler 100 to be calibrated and set a target flow rate value. The sampler 100 starts to draw air, and the gas flows through the orifice plate 12 inside the orifice flow meter kit 1. The operator can compare the display information of the calibration device main unit 2 with the display value of the sampler 100 itself to complete the calibration work at that flow rate point.
[0032] This portable, high-flow-rate aerosol sampler calibration device boasts advantages such as portability, ease of use, and quick installation. Its portable design and direct in-situ measurement solution enable convenient and rapid on-site calibration. Specifically:
[0033] (1) The device adopts a split design of main unit and kit, which is small in size and light in weight, and is equipped with built-in battery, which solves the problem of traditional equipment being bulky and dependent on external power.
[0034] (2) The quick-release flange is used for connection. During calibration, the orifice flow meter kit can be quickly and sealedly installed at the sampler inlet without complicated pipe connections. The operation is extremely simple and efficient.
[0035] (3) By directly measuring at the air inlet of the sampler, the actual sampling flow rate of the sampler can be accurately reflected, avoiding errors caused by pipeline leakage and other problems, and the data is more reliable.
