[0001] Fluid line system and the measuring transducer or measuring device formed therewith

[0002] The invention relates to a fluid line system formed by four fluid lines and a holding frame, as well as a measuring transducer or a corresponding measuring device formed thereby.

[0003] Fluid line systems of the type in question as well as the use of such fluid line systems in a measuring transducer used to measure at least one measured variable of a fluid medium conveyed in a pipeline or in a (vibronic) measuring device formed therewith, such as a Coriolis mass flow meter, are described, inter alia, in US-A 57 96 011, the

[0004] US-A 2015 / 0082916, US-B 1 07 05 055, US-B 1 08 09 109, WO-A 2015 / 162617, WO-A 2017 / 048235, WO-A 2022 / 100836 or WO-A 2023 / 131475. Each of the aforementioned fluid line systems comprises a first fluid line (designed as a line branch, occasionally also referred to as a distributor, collector or Y-piece or also as a flow divider) with a circular first flow opening surrounded by a (metal) wall and located in an associated first line end, in particular one held by a connecting flange, both to a second flow opening located in a second line end of the same first fluid line, in particular a circular, semi-circular or oval-shaped second flow opening, as well as to a second flow opening spaced from the same second flow opening, also located in the second line end, in particularcircular, semi-circular or oval-shaped, third flow opening extending lumen, a second fluid line designed as a rigid, at least partially (circular) cylindrical tube with a (metal) wall encased, extending from a first flow opening located in an associated first line end, in particular a circular, semi-circular or oval-shaped, first flow opening to a second flow opening located in an associated second line end, in particular a circular, semi-circular or oval-shaped, at least one third fluid line designed as a rigid, at least partially (circular) cylindrical tube and structurally identical to the second fluid line, with a (metal) wall encased, extending from a first flow opening located in an associated first line end, in particular a circular, semi-circular or oval-shaped, first flow opening to a second flow opening located in an associated second line end, in particular a circular, semi-circular or oval-shaped,circular, semicircular or oval-shaped, second flow opening extending lumen, and a fourth fluid line (which is structurally identical to the first fluid line and serves as a line connection) with a (metal) wall-enclosed, extending from a first flow opening, in particular a circular one, located in an associated first line end, in particular a connecting flange, both to a second flow opening, in particular a circular, semicircular or oval-shaped, located in an associated second line end, and to a third flow opening, in particular a circular, semicircular or oval-shaped, also located in the second line end, at a distance from the same second flow opening.The walls of the first and fourth fluid lines and / or the second and third fluid lines are typically made, at least in pairs, of the same material, for example of a stainless steel, for example a high-grade steel, a duplex steel or a super-duplex steel. Furthermore, the second and third flow openings of the first and fourth fluid lines can each be circular, but also, as shown, for example, in WO-A 2017 / 048235 or WO-A 2017 / 198440, oval, or even, as shown, for example, in WO-A 2017 / 105493, semicircular or circular segment-shaped. The second and third fluid lines of fluid line systems of the type in question are also typically structurally identical and / or have sections of a (circular) arc, for example in such a way that the second and third fluid lines, as shown, for example, in WO-A 2017 / 105493, are...a in which shown, each have at least one (circular) arc-shaped central sub-segment, to which a straight sub-segment is connected on the inlet and outlet sides, thus the second and third fluid lines are essentially U-shaped and V-shaped, respectively.

[0005] In order to form flow paths connected in parallel in terms of flow technology, in the aforementioned fluid line systems, both the second fluid line and the third fluid line are connected with their respective first line end to the second line end of the first fluid line, such that each of the lumens of the second and third fluid lines communicates with the lumen of the first fluid line and that the first flow opening of the second fluid line opens into the second flow opening of the first fluid line and the first flow opening of the third fluid line opens into the third flow opening of the first fluid line, and moreover, both the second fluid line and the third fluid line are connected with their respective second line end to the second line end of the fourth fluid line, such thatthat each of the lumens of the second and third fluid lines communicates with the lumen of the fourth fluid line, and that the second flow opening of the second fluid line opens into the second flow opening of the fourth fluid line, and the second flow opening of the third fluid line opens into the third flow opening of the fourth fluid line. Advantageously, the second and third fluid lines are also usually arranged such that the same fluid line or its lumens run parallel to each other, at least in sections, in particular predominantly or continuously. Each of the aforementioned fluid line systems is also specifically intended or configured to be inserted into the course of the aforementioned pipeline, such that a fluid flow supplied to the fluid line system or the measuring transducer formed thereby, by means of the first fluid line,is thus divided into two separate fluid streams within the fluid line system or measuring transducer, and that the same fluid streams are recombined into a single fluid stream by means of the fourth fluid line, thus also within the fluid line system, so that the fluid line system acts as a single pipe in terms of flow technology or to the outside and can also be connected to the corresponding segments of the pipeline very easily and without any further technical effort by means of (standard) flange connections.

[0006] In addition to the aforementioned fluid lines, the fluid line systems shown in US-B 1 07 05 055, US-B 1 08 09 109, WO-A 2015 / 162617, WO-A 2022 / 100836 or WO-A 2023 / 131475 each also comprise a holding frame, in particular designed as a protective housing or designed as a component of a protective housing, with a (frame) interior that is at least partially enclosed by a (metal) wall and extends from a (circular) first frame opening located in a (front-side) first frame end of the holding frame to a (circular) second frame opening located (diametrically) away from the first frame end in the longitudinal direction. As shown, inter alia, in US-B 1 07 05 055, WO-A 2022 / 100836 or WO-A 2023 / 131475, the support frame of a fluid line system of the type in question can be at least partially, in particular predominantly, tubular, namely as(cylindrical or prismatic) hollow body with a larger extension in a longitudinal direction compared to a largest caliber (inner diameter), for example by means of a substantially circular first and second frame openings and / or monolithic (support) tube. Not least for the aforementioned case that the second and third fluid lines are arcuate in sections, the respective holding frame can, for example, also have first and second (wall) openings formed in the respective wall and can have both a sub-segment of the second fluid line connecting the (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the second fluid line with the first fluid line (at least in sections straight) and a sub-segment of the third fluid line connecting the (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the third fluid line with the first fluid line (at least in sections straight) through the first(Wall) opening and both a sub-segment of the second fluid line connecting the (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the second fluid line with the fourth fluid line (at least partially straight) and a sub-segment of the third fluid line connecting the (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the third fluid line with the fourth fluid line (at least partially straight) are guided through the second (wall) opening. Not least for the aforementioned case that the fluid line system is a component of a measuring transducer or a (vibronic) measuring device formed therewith, the holding frame is typically an (integral) component of a protective housing of the fluid line system or is developed into such a protective housing; this is typically such that a first housing end of the protective housing is connected by means of the first fluid line, a second housing end of the protective housing is connected by means of the fourth fluid line, and a(Frame) interior space laterally delimiting side wall of the protective housing, wherein the (metal) wall is laterally fixed both to the first fluid line, in particular namely its first line end, and to the fourth fluid line, in particular namely its first line end, or is materially connected thereto, and that a cavity of the protective housing is formed by means of the (frame) interior space, and that the second and third fluid lines are placed within the cavity of the protective housing in such a way that each of the second and third fluid lines is spaced from the side wall of the protective housing.

[0007] Fluid line systems of the type in question can, as already mentioned and, inter alia, in the above-mentioned US-A 57 96 011, US-A 2015 / 0082916, US-A 2019 / 0277683, US-B 10 809 109, US-B 10 705 055, WO-A 2006 / 107297, WO-A 2015 / 162617, WO-A 2017 / 048235,

[0008] WO-A 2017 / 105493, WO-A 2020 / 023056, WO-A 2022 / 100836 or WO-A 2023 / 131475, respectively, can also be designed as a component of a, for example vibronic, measuring transducer, which serves or is designed to generate at least one measuring signal corresponding to at least one measured variable - for example a mass flow (mass flow rate), a density or a viscosity - of the fluid flowing through it, namely at least one signal parameter dependent on the same measured variable - for example a signal level dependent on the same measured variable and / or a signal frequency dependent on the same measured variable and / or a phase angle dependent on the same measured variable.This measuring transducer, in turn, can be connected to corresponding measuring device electronics to form a (vibronic) measuring device, for example a Coriolis mass flow meter, a vibronic density meter, and / or a vibronic viscosity meter. Accordingly, in fluid line systems of the type in question, the respective second and third fluid lines can also be configured in particular to allow the medium to be measured to flow through them and, during this time, to be caused to vibrate in order to generate at least one measuring signal. The measuring signal typically used is at least one vibration measurement signal representing vibrational movements of the second and / or third fluid lines, with at least one signal frequency dependent on a density of the medium conveyed in the fluid lines and / or a phase angle dependent on a mass flow rate.In order to maintain mechanical vibrations of the fluid lines, for example, namely, opposing bending vibrations of the second and third fluid lines, such a fluid line system or the measuring transducer formed thereby further comprises at least one electromechanical, for example, electrodynamic, vibration exciter. Furthermore, such a fluid line system or the measuring transducer formed thereby has at least one vibration sensor, for example, attached at least to the second and / or the third fluid line and / or at least placed in their vicinity, for generating the at least one measurement signal corresponding to the measured variable. Last but not least, in the aforementioned case that the measuring transducer or the measuring device formed thereby is intended to measure a mass flow orTo measure a mass flow of the fluid flowing through, such a fluid line system can also comprise at least two vibration sensors which are mounted at a distance from one another on the second and / or third fluid line and / or at least placed in the vicinity thereof, and which may also be of identical construction, and which are each configured to generate a measurement signal corresponding to the measured variable, in particular in such a way that a phase difference which is dependent on the mass flow rate is established between the two measurement signals.For the purpose of determining the measured variable, the second and third fluid lines of such vibronic measuring transducers are typically actively excited to oscillate in opposite directions in a drive or useful mode, namely to oscillations at at least one oscillation frequency serving as a useful frequency for the measurement, for example at one or more instantaneous resonance frequencies of natural oscillation modes inherent in the fluid line system and / or by means of an electronic driver circuit provided in the aforementioned measuring device electronics, electrically coupled to the at least one oscillation exciter and also to the at least one oscillation sensor, possibly designed as a phase-locked loop (PLL). Such fluid line systems or vibronic measuring transducers formed therewith, for example serving to generate Coriolis forces dependent on a mass flow of the flowing fluid, are used, among other things,also manufactured by the applicant itself or in conjunction with suitably configured measuring electronics as a Coriolis mass flow meter or as a Coriolis mass flow density meter, for example under the trade name “PROMASS F 200”, “PROMASS G 100”, “PROMASS O 100”, “PROMASS 83E”, “PROMASS 84F”, “CNGmass”, “LPGmass” or “Dosimass”.

[0009] As discussed, among other things, in WO-A 2015 / 162617, fluid line systems of the type in question can be comparatively cost-intensive due to the high material usage required. Furthermore, the comparatively complicated assembly of the components can represent a considerable cost factor in the manufacture; this is not least the case when the fluid line system to be manufactured is intended for use in a (vibronic) measuring device and, accordingly, in order to avoid misalignments that reduce the measuring accuracy of the measuring device, extremely high demands are placed on the precision of the components and their assembly.

[0069] The fluid line system according to the invention further comprises a (torsion- and bending-resistant) holding frame 1000, which is designed, for example, as a protective housing or serves as a component of a protective housing and has a (frame) interior which is at least partially enclosed by a (metal) wall and extends from a first frame opening 1000a, for example a circular one, located in a frontal first frame end 1000+ of the holding frame to a second frame opening 1000b, for example a circular one, located in a frontal second frame end 1000# of the same holding frame 1000, which is diametrically distant from the first frame end 1000+ in the longitudinal direction. The holding frame 1000 of the fluid line system according to the invention is, for example, at least in sections, for example also predominantly, tubular, namely designed as a hollow body with a larger extension in a longitudinal direction compared to a largest caliber (inner diameter).The wall of the holding frame can advantageously be made of or consist of (stainless) steel, for example a stainless steel, a duplex steel or a super duplex steel. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the wall of the holding frame consists of a steel according to AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) 304, AISI 304L, AISI 316L, WNo. 1 .4301, UNS S30400, UNS 31603, WNo. 1 .0037, WNo. 1 .0038, WNo. 1 .0050, WNo. 1 .0352, WNo. 1 .0460 or WNo. 1 .4116.

[0070] Not least for the aforementioned case in which the second and third fluid lines 200, 300 are curved pipes, corresponding (wall) openings (1000c, 1000b) for passing the two fluid lines 200, 300 can be provided in the wall of the support frame 1000. Accordingly, according to a further embodiment of the invention, as also schematically illustrated in Fig. 5 or readily apparent from a combined view of Figs. 5 and 2, the wall of the support frame 1000 has a first (wall) opening 1000c and at least one second (wall) opening 1000d.Furthermore, the second and third fluid lines are positioned in the support frame in such a way that both a (straight) sub-segment of the fluid line 200 connecting the aforementioned (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the fluid line 200 with the fluid line 100 and a (straight) sub-segment of the fluid line 300 connecting the aforementioned (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the fluid line 300 with the fluid line 100 are guided through the (wall) opening 1000c and that both a (straight) sub-segment of the fluid line 200 connecting the aforementioned (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the fluid line 200 with the fluid line 400 and a (straight) sub-segment of the fluid line 300 connecting the aforementioned (circular) arc-shaped sub-segment of the fluid line 400 are guided through the (wall) opening 1000d are.

The two (frame) sub-segments can, for example, be directly connected to one another in a materially bonded manner. Alternatively, the two (frame) sub-segments can also be connected to one another only indirectly, for example by forming a central region of the support frame by means of a (tubular and / or monolithic) third sub-segment that is respectively materially bonded to the first and second sub-segments.Not least for the aforementioned case that 1000 (wall) openings are provided in the wall of the holding frame, the wall of each of the first and second sub-segments can each have at least one recess, for example in such a way that at least one (wall) opening of the wall of the holding frame is formed by means of at least one of the recesses.

[0072] A very simple, yet very precise assembly of the fluid line system can be achieved in the case of a holding frame that is to be assembled or composed of at least two sub-segments, for example, by first connecting the second and third fluid lines to the first and fourth fluid lines (in a material-to-material manner), for example by means of a welded connection.an assembly comprising the first and fourth fluid lines as well as the second and third fluid lines connected thereto is produced, and that the first sub-segment (of the holding frame) is subsequently connected to the first fluid line 100 (already connected to the second and third fluid lines) and the second sub-segment (of the holding frame) is subsequently connected to the fourth fluid line 400 (already connected to the second and third fluid lines), for example in such a way that the first and second sub-segments are subsequently connected to one another by means of a welded connection (materially bonded). For the aforementioned case, in which the holding frame (final) further comprises a third sub-segment which respectively connects the first and second sub-segments in a materially bonded manner, the third sub-segment can advantageously be connected (materially bonded) to the first and second sub-segments which were previously connected to the first and fourth fluid lines, respectively, for example by means of a welded connection.

[0073] As schematically illustrated in Fig. 5 and 6, the fluid line system can further comprise, not least when used in a measuring transducer or measuring device, an (impact- and / or pressure-resistant) protective housing for the fluid lines 300, 200. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the holding frame 1000 is designed as a component of the same protective housing; this is particularly so in such a way that a cavity of the protective housing is formed by means of the (frame) interior, and that a first housing end 1000+ of the protective housing is formed by means of the first fluid line 100 and a second housing end 1000# of the transducer protective housing is formed by means of the fourth fluid line 400. The protective housing also has a laterally delimiting cavity at least partially, for example by the aforementioned sub-segments orwhose walls formed, side wall, which (spaced from the second and third fluid lines) is laterally fixed both to the fluid line 100, for example namely its line end 100+, and to the fluid line 400, for example namely its line end 400+, or is materially connected thereto, in particular in such a way that the first and fourth fluid lines 100, 400 are each an integral part of the protective housing and / or that the second and third fluid lines are placed within the cavity of the protective housing, although each of the second and third fluid lines is spaced from the side wall of the protective housing.
