Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to ultrasonic flow meter technology, particularly a kind of circulation time difference detection side for ultrasonic flowmeter Method.
Background technology
Relative to mechanical flowmeter and electromagnetic type flow meter, ultrasonic flow is in respect of following plurality of advantages：Measuring accuracy It is height, the strong adaptability to caliber, non-contact measurement, easy to use and be easy to digital management etc..With piezoelectric ceramics skill The development of art, electronic technology and high-speed digital video camera technology, the performance of ultrasonic flowmeter has large increase, simultaneously Manufacturing cost also significantly declines, therefore ultrasonic flowmeter is widely applied in industrial circle and daily life.
Signal detection is carried out using time difference method mostly in the design of ultrasonic flowmeter at present, below to time difference method ultrasound The Cleaning Principle of low is simply introduced.As shown in Figure 1, it is to utilize to transit time ultrasonic flow meters operation principle A pair of ultrasonic transducers receive and dispatch ultrasonic waves, are measured by the propagation time difference for measuring ultrasonic wave following current and adverse current in a fluid The flow velocity of fluid, then calculate by flow velocity a kind of indirect measurement method of flow.
TransducerAnd transducer, two transducers be separately mounted to the both sides of fluid line and perpendicular to pipeline cut On the direction of face distance away, the interior diameter of pipeline is, the path length of ultrasonic propagation is, ultrasonic wave following current biography The time broadcast is, adverse current propagate time be, the direction of propagation of ultrasonic wave and the flow direction angle of fluid are.Due to The reason for flow of fluid, ultrasonic wave downstream propagationTime used in the distance of length is shorter than time used in adverse current, and flow velocity is surveyed Amount principle can be represented with following formula：
（1）
Wherein：It is spread speed of the ultrasonic wave in non-current medium,It is the flowing velocity of target fluid,With It is following current and adverse current propagation time.
Will（1）In two formulas subtract each other and can obtain：
（2）
It is indivisible that spread speed due to rate of flow of fluid with ultrasonic wave in media as well, which is compared, therefore above formula can simplify For：
（3）
So that the flow velocity for drawing fluid is：
（4）
Measure after flow velocity, can be by calculating the sectional area of pipeline, and then calculate outflow：
（5）

Existing transit time ultrasonic flow meters are when carrying out time difference detection, generally using following two methods：
Method one：Using a pair of ultrasonic transducers, detection process is as follows：
1）Ultrasonic transducerIt is used as transmitting terminal, transducerAs receiving terminal, transducer is controlledTransmission signal, so After detect transducerThe signal received, draws the time of ultrasonic wave downstream propagation in a fluid；
2）Ultrasonic transducerIt is used as transmitting terminal, transducerAs receiving terminal, transducer is controlledTransmission signal, so After detect transducerThe signal received, draws the ultrasonic wave time that adverse current is propagated in a fluid；
3）Calculate the propagation time difference of following current and adverse current。

The measurement of method one draws the propagation that a time difference value needs ultrasonic wave once to be come and gone in target fluid, if The flow velocity of target fluid is uneven while change is more frequent, then method one measures obtained time difference value real-time will be by shadow Ring, the flow velocity thus calculated has certain error, finally calculates flow accuracy and be restricted.
Method two is measured using two pairs of ultrasonic transducers, although can so shorten measurement draws a time difference value Time, but be the increase in control and detection circuit complexity, while increasing the power consumption of whole flowmeter, in actual applications Power consumption is also the important indicator that must take into consideration in designing.
In actual applications, manufacturing cost is to weigh the major criterion of a design quality, and method two has used two exchanges Energy device, while control and detection circuit complexity are very high, while power consumption is increased, also increases manufacturing cost.
