Specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawing, the method for present invention measurement gas flow is described in detail.
The present invention is as follows using the principle of ultrasonic flow rate measurement amount gas flow:
The ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic signal that the ultrasonic probe of air-flow upstream issues to airflow downstream receives ultrasonic wave During signal, since gas flowing generates velocity component in the transmission direction of ultrasonic signal, ultrasonic wave can be accelerated to believe Number transmission;The ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic signal that the ultrasonic probe of airflow downstream issues to air-flow upstream receives ultrasonic wave During signal, since gas flowing generates velocity component in the transmission direction of ultrasonic signal, ultrasonic wave letter can be slowed down Number transmission, calculate gas stream using the difference of ultrasonic signal transmission time in along gas flow and inverse gas flow Amount.
As shown in Figure 1 d, L is the linear distance of upstream and downstream ultrasonic probe in figure, and D is pipe diameter, and θ is ultrasonic wave biography The angle in defeated path and measurement tube hub line, V are the mean flow rate of gas, t1For ultrasonic wave forward transmission time, t2For ultrasonic wave Reverse transmission time, then have:
It can be obtained by formula (I) and formula (II):
Due to flow=flow velocity * cross-sectional area, the expression formula by flow relocity calculation flow is as follows:
Wherein, C indicates the spread speed of ultrasonic wave;A indicates the cross-sectional area of measurement pipe.
By formula (IV) it can be seen that gas flow rate is not related with ultrasonic propagation velocity, it can thus be avoided due to temperature The difference of the factors such as degree, pressure causes ultrasonic propagation velocity to change, and the measurement of gas flow is caused deviation occur.
By calculating process it is found that measurement gas flow it is critical that it is accurate measurement ultrasonic wave transmission time, in order to obtain The correct time for obtaining ultrasonic transmission, utilizes the method for ultrasonic flow rate measurement amount gas flow, comprising the following steps:
(1) it around the ultrasonic receiving device of gas pipeline arrangement ultrasonic flowmeter, is sent out using ultrasonic receiving device The ultrasonic wave across gas is sent, and acquires echo-signal;
Ultrasonic receiving device, as shown in Fig. 1 a, 1b, 1c, supersonic flow that the present invention uses are arranged around gas pipeline Meter includes three pairs of ultrasonic probes (i.e. ultrasonic receiving device), respectively ultrasonic probe 11 and ultrasonic probe 12, is surpassed Sonic probe 21 and ultrasonic probe 22, ultrasonic probe 31 and ultrasonic probe 32, wherein ultrasonic probe 11 and ultrasonic wave The ultrasonic wave propagation path of probe 12 intersects with the center line of gas pipeline, and the ultrasonic wave that remaining two pairs of ultrasonic probe is formed passes It broadcasts path to be parallel to each other, and is symmetrically distributed in the two sides of gas pipeline center line, each pair of ultrasonic probe is formed by ultrasonic wave The angle of the center line of propagation path and gas pipeline is 60 degree, and the distance of ultrasonic probe 21 and ultrasonic probe 31 is less than The diameter of under test gas flow conduit, and can be according to being selected.
In Fig. 1 a, ultrasonic probe 32 and ultrasonic probe 22 are overlapped, and ultrasonic probe 31 and ultrasonic probe 21 are overlapped, Ultrasonic probe 11 and ultrasonic probe 12 are omitted in Fig. 1 c.
A pair of of ultrasonic probe be formed by ultrasonic wave be it is a branch of, the present invention in using the central axes of the beam ultrasonic wave as phase The ultrasonic wave propagation path answered.
Each flow measurement acquires three groups of echo-signals, and every group of echo-signal correspondence obtains a ultrasonic wave and gas is in the same direction The forward transmission time of transmission and the reverse transmission time of a ultrasonic wave and gas reverse transfer;Difference group echo-signal Transmission path is different, and every group of echo-signal is obtained by a pair of of ultrasonic receiving device.
(2) two sampled points, the line and reference level line of two sampled points are chosen in the sampled data of echo-signal The intersection point moment be denoted as T3, the period of ultrasonic echo signal is T, and ultrasonic wave is denoted as T at the time of transmission0, the starting of echo-signal Moment is T1, T1With T3Between echo-signal number of cycles be n;The transmission time t calculation formula of ultrasonic wave is as follows:
T=T3-T0-n·T
The selection range of two sampled points are as follows: first positive amplitude is greater than V after triggering waveHH-VbAnd negative sense amplitude is big In Vb-VLLWave band failing edge;As shown in Figure 5, Figure 6;Vb in Fig. 5, Fig. 6 is benchmark level line, and reference level line is different Be set to zero, for example, by using 1.645V level line as reference level line.
In two sampled points, one of sample is in [VHL, VHH] in range, another sample is in [VLL, VLH] In range;
VHL、VHH、VLL、VLHIt is determined according to sample frequency, determines principle are as follows: sampling necessarily has sample in selected every time In the level range taken, and the number of sampling points fallen into selected level range is few as much as possible.
Under the premise of sample frequency determines, [VHL, VHH] and [VLL, VLH] range it is as small as possible.If [VHL, VHH] or [VHL, VHH] in there are multiple sampled points met the requirements, select the sampled point near respective range median.

If two sampled points met the requirements in the actual operation process, can not be found in echo-signal, then automatically Gain is adjusted until the sampled point met the requirements can be found in echo-signal, if can not find always, is determined corresponding Ultrasonic receiving device is abnormal.
When calculating the transmission time of ultrasonic wave, it is necessary first to be adjusted to the echo-signal of ultrasonic wave, make ultrasonic wave Triggering wave (as shown in part A in Fig. 5, first wave of the ultrasonic echo signal) amplitude of echo-signal is greater than sampling triggering electricity Flat VTH, ultrasonic wave starts to sample after issuing a period of time, if sample circuit issues a signal to ultrasonic receiving device and starts to send The time span of ultrasonic wave is constant, is denoted as ts, ultrasonic receiving device receives echo-signal to sample circuit receive echo letter Number time span be constant, be denoted as tr, then when calculating transmission time, need to deduct the two times, that is, t=T3-T0- n·T-ts-tr
(3) gas flow rate is calculated using the transmission time that step (2) obtain, and gas flow is further calculated.
The gas travel time that difference group echo-signal obtains is weighted and averaged, and obtains average weighted time, and benefit The calculating that gas flow is carried out with the average weighted time, obtains final gas flow.
It is abnormal to judge that gained gas flow whether there is for step (4), abnormal if it exists, then recording exceptional state, and carries out Alarm.
Step (5) repairs resulting gas flow according to the working temperature and pressure at measurement gas flow moment Just.
When gas flows in the duct, due to the influence of the factors such as pipe friction, the flow on cross-section of pipeline exists Difference, after directly needing to correct by the gas flow that formula (IV) obtains, can truly reaction gas practical stream Amount, in order to improve the precision of metering, the present invention using three pairs totally six ultrasonic receiving devices multi-point flux is sampled, so Gas flow is calculated by average weighted method afterwards, and gas flow is modified, with the gas stream of approaching to reality Amount.
The gas flow measured, floor data and equipment state are sent to pipe using wireless communication mode by step (6) Road monitoring center.
Step (7), after a gas flow measurement, ultrasonic flowmeter enters dormant state, and in the predetermined time It automatically begins to measure next time behind interval.
It include bandpass filtering, programmable-gain and signal sampling three parts function electricity in each ultrasonic receiving device The adjustment of ultrasonic echo signal is completed on road by sampling-adjustment-sampling cyclic process, obtains capable of being correctly validated Ultrasonic echo.
