Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic gas meter technology, specifically to an in-meter dust removal device with an integrated switching valve structure and an ultrasonic gas meter. Background Technology

[0002] According to the national standard GB / T 39841-2021 "Ultrasonic Gas Meters," which specifies the dust removal or anti-pollutant performance requirements for ultrasonic gas meters, and also to ensure metering accuracy and service life, existing ultrasonic gas meters typically have a dust removal device installed at the air inlet. However, due to the presence of valves and other structures at the air inlet, installation space is limited. Currently, the common approach is to install a filter screen at the air inlet of the ultrasonic gas meter, such as a common metal filter screen, porous ceramic filter, or non-woven fiber filter element, to intercept larger impurity particles. However, traditional filter screens are prone to clogging with contaminants over long-term use, affecting normal dust removal. Furthermore, due to the limited gas flow area, pressure loss increases, resulting in less than ideal dust removal performance over extended periods. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an in-table dust removal device with an integrated switching valve structure to solve the existing technical problems in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: On one hand, this application provides an in-situ dust removal device with an integrated switching valve structure, including a first housing, a second housing, an air inlet, a switching valve, a sedimentation chamber, a reflux baffle, and an air outlet.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an in-situ dust removal device with an integrated switching valve structure includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, an air inlet 3, a switching valve 4, a sedimentation chamber 5, a reflux baffle 6, and an air outlet 7. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are fastened together to form a dust removal chamber 10 inside. The air inlet 3 is located at the top of the first housing 1 and communicates with the inlet of the switching valve 4. The sedimentation chamber 5 is located at the bottom of the dust removal chamber 10 and is used for the sedimentation and collection of impurity particles. The reflux baffle 6 is provided with a through hole that allows gas to pass through and is located between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. The air outlet 7 is located on the side wall of the first housing 1 and at the end of the reflux baffle 6.

[0018] This utility model provides an in-meter dust removal device with an integrated switching valve structure. The switching valve 4 is integrated within the dust removal device, saving installation space within the meter and solving the problem of limited installation space at the air inlet. The overall structure is more compact, making it particularly suitable for ultrasonic gas meters. It also achieves superior dust removal performance and solves the problems of clogging and increased pressure loss common in existing technologies. Specifically, by incorporating a sedimentation chamber 5, large particles of pollutants can be precipitated and collected during gas flow, allowing for timely removal over long-term use. Furthermore, the inclusion of a return baffle 6 allows for one-step return of the gas as it flows through the baffle, further enhancing the dust removal effect.

[0019] It should be noted that the above-mentioned beginning, end, or inlet and outlet are defined according to the gas flow direction in the ultrasonic gas meter, and are only for the convenience of understanding and description of the technical solution of this application, and do not constitute a limitation of this application.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution, a reflux chamber 8 is formed between the sedimentation chamber 5 and the reflux baffle 6, and a narrowing section 81 is provided in the reflux chamber 8.

[0021] By setting a narrowing section 81 in the reflux chamber 8, a certain flow restriction effect is played in the gas process. With the setting of the reflux baffle 6, most of the gas and pollutants will be refluxed, which maximizes the precipitation of impurity particles in the gas and improves the dust removal effect.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution, a dust removal rib 9 is provided in the reflux chamber 8. The dust removal rib 9 is provided on the inner side wall of the bottom end of the first housing 1 and there are multiple ribs.

[0023] Based on the above technical solution, an air outlet chamber 11 is formed between the return baffle 6, the first housing 1, and the second housing 2, and a plurality of dust removal ribs 9 are uniformly arranged in the air outlet chamber 11.

[0024] By installing dust removal ribs 9 in both the reflux chamber 8 and the exhaust chamber 11, fine pollutants can be adsorbed, resulting in better dust removal.

[0025] Based on the above technical solution, the dust removal rib 9 is made of one of the following materials: polyoxymethylene (POM), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), or polycarbonate / acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer alloy (PC+ABS). More preferably, using the above-mentioned plastic material can adsorb tiny pollutants in the gas, thus helping to achieve a better dust removal effect.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the sedimentation chamber 5 includes a plurality of cross-arranged horizontal partitions 51 and vertical partitions 52, and both the horizontal partitions 51 and the vertical partitions 52 are fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the second housing 2.

[0027] Based on the above technical solution, the height of the vertical partition plate near the side wall of the second shell 2 in the sedimentation chamber 5 is greater than the height of the vertical partition plate near the reflux baffle 6.

[0028] By setting vertical baffles of different heights, especially with the vertical baffles near the second shell sidewall being taller than those near the return baffle, smoother gas flow can be ensured while reducing pressure loss.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are configured to be detachably connected.

[0030] By making the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 detachably connected, installation is convenient and large particulate impurities deposited in the sedimentation chamber can be removed in a timely manner, making operation more convenient.

[0031] Based on the above technical solution, the switching valve 4 is configured as a screw valve.

[0032] This application also provides an ultrasonic gas meter, including the in-meter dust removal device with the integrated switching valve structure described above.

[0033] During operation, the internal dust removal device is installed inside the air inlet of the ultrasonic gas meter and located in the sealed cavity formed by the front and rear steel shells of the ultrasonic gas meter. When the ultrasonic gas meter is started, the switch valve 4 controls the flow of gas. When the switch valve 4 is open, natural gas enters the dust removal chamber 10 inside the dust removal device from the side of the air inlet 3. Larger pollutant particles will settle in the sedimentation chamber 5. When flowing through the narrow section 81 of the return chamber 8, the gas carrying pollutants will be returned under the action of the return baffle 6, further precipitating the pollutants. At the same time, smaller pollutants will be adsorbed on the dust removal ribs 9. The combined use achieves a better dust removal effect.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims within this utility model.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
