Embodiment
For making the object of the embodiment of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment is the present invention's part embodiment, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
In technical field of petrochemical industry, the liquid that density is different mixes and can produce lamination, and the liquid medium that density is little is positioned at upper strata, and the liquid medium that density is large is positioned at lower floor.Such as, for oil and the mixing material of water, due to oily different with the density of water, can lamination be produced, again because the density of oil is less than the density of water, therefore, oil level in the upper strata of mixing material water level in the lower floor of mixing material.Exactly the medium in mixing material is separated with medium if think, so first needs to measure the boundary position of liquid medium in layering place.
At present, mainly utilize the boundary position of radar interfacial meter to mixing material to measure, foundation is radar Time Domain Reflectometry principle.Concrete, to be used for transmitting electromagnetic antenna interts in mixing material, control radar probe emitting electromagnetic wave, this electromagnetic wave onwards transmission in antennas, when running into position, boundary, because the specific inductive capacity of mixing material adjacent two layers medium is undergone mutation, electromagnetic wave is reflected back, calculate electromagnetic wave transmission time back and forth in single liquid medium, the velocity of wave in this liquid medium according to this transmission time and electromagnetic wave, just can calculate the distance of present position, out-of-bounds position and radar probe.But, due to adsorbent solid impurity (such as, wax deposition) easy on antenna, when running into solid impurity when electromagnetic wave transmits in antennas, also can produce reflex, therefore can obtain the false transmission time, and then obtain false position, boundary, cause the position, boundary measured inaccurate.
The above-mentioned defect existed when measuring mixing material circle position for radar interfacial meter, the invention provides a kind of interfacial meter and position, boundary measuring method, wherein, interfacial meter, comprise: conduit, ultrasonic transmitter-receiver and float, this ultrasonic transmitter-receiver is fixedly installed in conduit, float is positioned at conduit, and between the density of the two layer medium adjacent in mixing material to be measured of the density of float, float has ultrasonic reflections face near the side of ultrasonic transmitter-receiver, and the sending and receiving end of ultrasonic transmitter-receiver is towards described float.When utilizing this interfacial meter to measure the position, boundary of mixing material, the ultrasound wave that ultrasonic transmitter-receiver launches is returned by the float being in adjacent two layers medium circle position place, the energy returned is stronger, the position of out-of-bounds position can be reflected more accurately, and the electromagnetic length of hyperacoustic wavelength ratio, more easily walk around chaff interference, the impurity interference not in liquid body, position, false boundary can not be produced, and then improve the accuracy and fiduciary level of measuring position, boundary.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of interfacial meter embodiment one of the present invention.The interfacial meter that the embodiment of the present invention one provides, for measuring the position, boundary of mixing material, as shown in Figure 1, this interfacial meter, comprising: conduit 1, ultrasonic transmitter-receiver 2 and float 3.
Ultrasonic transmitter-receiver 2 is fixedly installed in conduit 1, float 3 is positioned at conduit 1, between the density of the two layer medium that the density of float 3 is adjacent in mixing material to be measured, float 3 has ultrasonic reflections face near the side of ultrasonic transmitter-receiver 2, and the sending and receiving end of ultrasonic transmitter-receiver 2 is towards float 3.
