Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic flowmeter comprising a fluid pipeline, an upstream ultrasonic transducer and a downstream ultrasonic transducer. The upstream ultrasonic transducer and the downstream ultrasonic transducer are arranged oppositely on an inner pipe wall of the fluid pipeline by keeping a distance L and form slant angles of 50 degrees to 89 degrees with the flow in and out directions of fluid; an upstream reflecting block and a downstream reflecting block are arranged in the fluid pipeline; and the reflecting surfaces of the upstream and the downstream reflecting blocks form included angles of 30 degrees to 43 degrees with the flow in and out directions of fluid. According to required measure precision, the required distance L is determined, and then the slant angle of the upstream and the downstream ultrasonic transducers and the included theta upstream and the included theta downstream are determined so that after ultrasonic waves transmitted by the upstream and the downstream ultrasonic transducers are reflected by the reflecting surfaces of the upstream and the downstream reflecting blocks, are, transmitted to the upstream and the downstream ultrasonic transducers and are received by the upstream and the downstream ultrasonic transducers. Thus, a time difference delta t=T<->-T<+>. Both the reflecting blocks and the ultrasonic transducers are arranged on the pipe wall so that the flowing area of the fluid s is larger. Thus, the ultrasonic flowmeter of the invention is difficult to block even impurities exist so that the ultrasonic flowmeter is particularly suitable to measure the flowing quantity of the fluid with small pipe diameter and low flowing speed.

Description

A kind of device for measuring ultrasonic wave flow
Technical field
The invention belongs to the supersonic technique field, relate to a kind of device for measuring ultrasonic wave flow.
Background technology
On just carrying when ultrasound wave is propagated in the fluid that flows the information of rate of flow of fluid, therefore just can detect flow rate of fluid, thereby be converted into flow by the ultrasound wave that receives, finish the test of fluid flow.Mode according to detecting can be divided into dissimilar ultrasonic flow meters such as propagation speed differential method, Doppler method, wave beam deflection method, noise method and correlation method.
When adopting the ultrasound wave fluid flow rate to measure, speed and the direction of fluid in stream will cause ultrasonic signal signal difference to occur in the propagation of fluid, this species diversity depends on the objective physics law of rate of flow of fluid and transonic on the one hand, also depend on effective travel path that the concrete flow measurement structure of transonic is caused on the other hand, i.e. the spacing of two ultrasonic transducers on the fluid line direction.Sort signal difference can be expressed as:
Figure BSA00000167204800011
In the formula (1), Δ t is the mistiming that ultrasound wave following current and adverse current are propagated, V Flow velocityBe rate of flow of fluid, L is the spacings of two ultrasonic transducers on the fluid line direction,
Figure BSA00000167204800012
Be the velocity of propagation of ultrasound wave in fluid.
Like this, by measuring the mistiming that ultrasound wave following current and adverse current are propagated, just can obtain rate of flow of fluid:
Figure BSA00000167204800013
From formula (2) we as can be seen, the mistiming Δ tL is directly proportional with spacing, like this, and mistiming Δ usually tMeasuring accuracy determines that if spacing L is big more, mistiming Δ t is also big more, then rate of flow of fluid V Flow velocityMeasuring accuracy is high more.
Present normally used flow measurement device comprises: W type, V-type, Z type, U type.V-type and W type mean that ultrasonic signal and fluid line tube wall form an angle, signal be coupled into behind the fluid respectively through once with two secondary reflections, received by other ultrasonic transducer, ultrasonic transducer is to serving as the role who sends and accept each other, the duplexing notion of similar and communication system.And when two ultrasonic transducers directly relative at the tube wall that fluid flows, become the Z type, when two sonacs are vertical when also relative with fluid pipe walls, also claim directly to type as special case.
Above several flow measurement devices, its effective travel path is retrained by caliber, under and the situation that flow velocity is low little when caliber, measure can take place difficult.
In order to improve hyperacoustic effective route of transmission, U type flow measurement device by two relative miter angle reflectings surface, is transformed into the ultrasound wave of vertical incidence horizontal direction and reflexes to receiving end in fluid line.This scheme can prolong effective travel path of ultrasonic propagation, but at the inner reflecting surface that adds of fluid line, and is bigger for the influence of fluid flowing path as guidance mirrors, the occasion that exists of impurity for example, and system may lose efficacy.
For U type flow measurement device, as on 01 06th, 2010 Granted publication, notification number is that the Chinese invention patent instructions that CN100578162C, name are called " a kind of device for measuring ultrasonic wave flow " discloses a kind of U type flow measurement device.As shown in Figure 1, this U type flow measurement device comprises flow housing 1 and two ultrasonic wave transducer guidance sets 3 that are complementary, and wherein flow housing 1 is connected with the flow conduit (not shown).Described ultrasonic wave transducer guidance set 3 is inserted in the described flow housing 1 by the mounting hole that is provided with on the described flow housing 1, one of them ultrasonic wave transducer guidance set 3 inserts the upstream that is installed to flow housing 1, and another is installed in the downstream of flow housing 1.Ultrasonic wave transducer guidance set 3 comprises ultrasonic transducer, guidance mirrors and support, described support is inserted in the described mounting hole, upper end at described support is provided with insertion groove, described ultrasonic transducer is inserted in this insertion groove, described guidance mirrors is embedded in the opening part of described support lower end, on described support, the position corresponding with described guidance mirrors is provided with jet orifice.The ultrasonic transducer of upstream sends ultrasound wave through reflecting with fluid inflow direction upstream guidance mirrors 90 degree in angle of 45 degrees, along fluid moving phase direction together, propagate into the ultrasonic wave transducer guidance mirrors in fluid housing downstream, after flowing out direction downstream guidance mirrors 90 degree reflections in angle of 45 degrees with fluid, receive by the ultrasonic transducer in downstream, obtain like this following current time T+.The same manner, the ultrasonic transducer in downstream send ultrasound wave by the ultrasonic transducer of upstream obtain the adverse current time T-.So just obtained the mistiming Δ t
From Fig. 1 we as can be seen, although U type flow measurement device has solved the problem of the effective propagation distance of ultrasound wave, but owing to inserted ultrasonic wave transducer guidance set 3 at flow housing 1, especially the guidance mirrors of its lower end makes the fluid flowing path reduced cross-sectional, the occasion that impurity exists, easily stop up, cause the inefficacy of flow measurement device.
