A kind of double-channel vortex flowmeter system
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of flowmeter system, particularly a kind of double-channel vortex flowmeter system that adopts the two paths of signals treatment channel.
Background technology
Vortex shedding flow meter is a principle of utilizing Kalman's vortex street in the fluid mechanics, the characteristic that is directly proportional with flow velocity V in the certain flow rate scope according to the frequency F of sensor output signal X adopts survey sensor output signal frequency F=K * V to measure rate of flow of fluid V when having determined that sensor signal becomes after sending COEFFICIENT K.The direct corresponding relation of sort signal frequency and flow velocity has the range ability of 100:1 in theory.But simultaneously, the pulsation amplitude U of general stress-type sensor output signal again with signal frequency F
2Be directly proportional, promptly the pulsation amplitude of sensor output signal is bigger when flow velocity is high slightly, corresponding frequency measurement ratio is easier to, and the pulsation amplitude of signal will reduce greatly when flow velocity is low slightly, and noises such as high frequency interference in the signal and frequency wobbles make the vortex street frequency in the detection signal become very difficult.
At present, the vortex flowmeter system of simple technique mainly adopts fixedly the window comparator method of amplifier and fixed threshold that signal frequency is caught.The range ability of this vortex flowmeter system is generally at 10:1.
The signal processing method of vortex shedding flow meter mainly contains following several: the one, and adopt the method for the bandpass filter the adjusted centre frequency of following the tracks of the vortex street frequency to improve to hanging down the processing horizontal of flow velocity signal, mainly contain United States Patent (USP) 5372046,5429001 and 5576497 etc., realize bringing difficulty because the contradiction between correctness, rapidity and the technical complexity followed the tracks of all makes; The 2nd, the reference numerals frequency spectrum analysis method is estimated the signal frequency of low amplitude value, the Chinese patent 99101209.7 of useful pure digi-tal spectral method, the bandpass filter the adjusted method of useful digitized spectra analysis and tracking frequencies combine as U.S. Pat 6480812B1, U.S. Pat 6212975B1 and European patent 645258 etc., these class methods mainly are to have improved the correctness problem that first method medium frequency is followed the tracks of with technical complexity; The 3rd, the method that adopts the dynamic amplitude versus frequency characte turning point Z that adjusts step low-pass that signal is amplified on a 40dB/dec line, as Chinese patent 200610029218.5, this method both can effectively be amplified hanging down flow velocity signal, had avoided again the amplification of frequency wobbles has also been suppressed high frequency noise preferably.But this method mainly is applicable to signal pulsation amplitude U and signal frequency F when flow velocity is low
2The situation that is directly proportional.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of double-channel vortex flowmeter system, promptly after the coupling of sensor output signal is amplified, signal is divided into the two paths of signals treatment channel of low flow velocity signal of special disposal and special disposal high flow rate signal.Can under low power consumption and low cost, realize accurate measurement to the height flow velocity.
For achieving the above object, design of the present invention is: to signal pulsation amplitude U and signal frequency F
2The low flow velocity signal that is directly proportional adopts the signal processing channel of Chinese patent 200610029218.5 methods, adopts the fixedly signal processing channel of amplifier and fixed threshold method and signal pulsation amplitude U is satisfied big flow velocity signal greater than big threshold value.The two paths of signals treatment channel has been exported the pulse signal of following frequency F at last.And from two pulse signals, draw vortex street frequency F and the rate of flow of fluid V of height under the flow velocity by a signal synthesis processor.
