Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flue gas detection technology, specifically to a detection head for flue gas ultrasonic metering. Background Technology

[0002] In process volumetric flow metering technology, ultrasonic meters are particularly used for measuring volumetric flow rates. They essentially consist of a measuring sensor, an ultrasonic transducer, and a signal processing unit. The measuring sensor includes a pipe fitting with a welded connecting flange.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a detection head for ultrasonic metering of flue gas, including a housing 1 and a plug 2. The housing 1 is provided with a signal testing component, which includes two sets of symmetrically arranged transducers 4.

[0019] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is configured as a straight-through type, which has a shorter sound path and does not require reflection in the middle compared to the reflective type in the prior art, effectively avoiding the pollution caused by the reflected reception signal.

[0020] It should be noted that, due to the high temperature, high humidity and high oil conditions of the chimney, the housing 1 of transducer 4 is made of waterproof and corrosion resistant material, and the material is titanium alloy. The signal and anti-interference ability are tested by adjusting the thickness of the end face.

[0021] Both the housing 1 and the insertion rod 2 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to meet the requirements of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The self-lubricating properties of PTFE enhance the anti-fouling ability. The insertion rod 2 is made of titanium alloy, which increases strength while reducing weight.

[0022] A connecting assembly is provided between the housing 1 and the insertion rod 2. A cable 3 passes through the insertion rod 2. The connecting assembly includes a first flange 8 and a second flange 13 respectively provided on both sides of the housing 1. The second flange 13 is fixedly connected to the insertion rod 2. The insertion rod 2 is configured as a hollow rod structure.

[0023] In this embodiment, a plug rod 2 is connected to one side of the housing 1. When in use, the housing 1 and the transducer 4 inside the housing 1 are inserted into the sampling hole of the chimney to be tested. The plug rod 2 is used to support the detection mechanism, and at the same time, the plug rod 2 is used as a protective sleeve for the cable 3 used for signal output.

[0024] Example 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The signal testing assembly also includes a mounting base 7 disposed within the housing 1, the transducer 4 is installed within the mounting base 7, a third sealing ring 11 is disposed within the mounting base 7 at the installation position of the transducer 4, and a purging assembly is connected to one side of the mounting base 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, a purging mechanism is added. The purging assembly includes a purging interface 12. The micro plug purging interface 12 is embedded in the mounting base 7, and the nozzle is aligned with the end face of the transducer 4 on the opposite side. The purging interface 12 is connected to an air pipe. The air pipe enters the external control box through the inside of the insert rod 2, and then connects to the external electrical control box through a corrugated pipe. The external electrical control box is connected to a solenoid valve that communicates with the purging interface 12. The integrator set in the external electrical control box controls the solenoid valve through a program to realize the periodic purging function.

[0026] The external control box and its internal structure and working principle are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Example 3, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A sound channel is provided between the transducers 4. An air outlet 5 is provided on one side of the sound channel, and an air inlet 6 is provided on the other side of the sound channel. The air outlet 5 and the air inlet 6 are connected.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sound channel is the path through which the sound waves from transducer 4 travel. Its length is determined by the signal from transducer 4, the accuracy level required by the external control box connected to the detection system, and the timing accuracy of the signal processing unit in the external control box. Considering the incident angle of the sound channel, the smaller the angle with the axis, the longer the distance being measured, the greater the resistance to vortex flow fields, and the higher the accuracy. Considering the spatial structure, the incident angle is preferably 50°-70°.

[0029] Example 4, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The housing 1 is provided with a first sealing ring 9 and a second sealing ring 10 at the connection between the first flange 8 and the second flange 13, respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first sealing ring 9 and a second sealing ring 10 are respectively provided at the connection between the housing 1 and the first flange 8 and the second flange 13. The first sealing ring 9 is a radial sealing structure and the second sealing ring 10 is a planar sealing structure. By using a sealing structure that combines planar and radial sealing, the IP68 protection requirement is achieved and the waterproof performance of the detection head is improved.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
