Description

Civil ultrasonic gas meter and flow detection method of integrated transducer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gas flow detection; in particular to a civil ultrasonic gas meter with an integrated structure of an n-shaped measuring tube and an integrated transducer and a flow detection method.
Background
In 2020, the conservative estimate of energy demand in China is 50 hundred million tons of standard coal. Satisfying the above requirements, the energy supply side will face a great pressure whether increasing domestic energy supply or utilizing foreign resources. The pollution generated by the coal serving as a main energy structure in China far exceeds the environmental capacity, and the environmental bearing capacity faces severe challenges; therefore, adjusting the dominant unreasonable energy structure of coal is not slow. The method of replacing coal with gas is a powerful measure for remedying environmental pollution under the prior art.
Natural gas is a major concern as a clean energy source, and the consumption is continuously increasing. In 2001, the domestic consumption of natural gas is only 274 hundred million m3(ii) a In 2012, the pressure increased to 1471 hundred million m3The number of grade cities using natural gas is > 210, and 2 hundred million Chinese people receive . By 12 months in 2012, the quantity of the civil gas meters is more than 2075 thousands; the output of the gas meter is 1000 thousands/year, and the gas meter is exported 250 thousands/year; the domestic civil gas meter enterprises are about 100 families, and the leading product is the membrane gas meter. The membrane type gas meter has a history of hundreds of years, and the membrane type gas meter architecture invented by James and Bogdas in the United kingdom in 1833 continues to the present; the mechanical membrane type gas meter is simple in principle, low in price (90-140 yuan), and 1.5-grade in precision; however, the price of the digital membrane gas meter is several times that of the base meter, and the price is very high (450-550 yuan).
The ultrasonic gas flowmeter has high precision, small pressure loss, simple and convenient operation and maintenance and high reliability without moving parts; a third gas legal measuring instrument which endows trade settlement qualification is formed after the orifice plate flowmeter and the turbine flowmeter; for example, 13 sets of ultrasonic natural gas flow meters are arranged on the longest global China West gas east delivery pipeline. Nowadays, ultrasonic flow meter manufacturers in developed countries occupy the leading technical position, and famous enterprises include us Controlotron, germany Krohne, british Daniel, netherlands Instromet and the like. The standards followed by the industry are: in 1998, ISO published ISO/TR12765 "measuring fluid flow in closed pipes with ultrasonic flow meters by time-propagation method"; the national standard GB/T18604-2001 uses a gas ultrasonic flowmeter to measure the natural gas flow, and the industry standard domestic ultrasonic gas meter 2012 and 2016T-JB. The history of ultrasonic flow measurement in developed countries is long, which can be traced back to 1931 o.rutten german patent; the domestic ultrasonic gas meters in the countries are put into operation in batches for many years, and get unusual achievement. The research of the ultrasonic flowmeter in China starts in sixty years, the precision and the reliability of the domestic ultrasonic flowmeter and PK in developed countries have certain differences, and the imported ultrasonic flowmeter fills the domestic market. Although units such as Zhejiang Wexing instrument system integration limited successively release ultrasonic gas meters, type approval certificates are also obtained; unfortunately, the market acceptance is limited, and commercialization of the product has a long path to go.
The principle of ultrasonic flow measurement is as follows: when the ultrasonic wave propagates in the fluid, the ultrasonic wave signal is modulated by the fluid; therefore, the flow velocity and flow rate of the fluid can be extracted by detecting the modulated ultrasonic signal. The ultrasonic flow measurement methods include a propagation velocity difference method (time difference, phase difference, and frequency difference), a beam offset method, a doppler method, a correlation method, a spatial filtering method, a noise method, and the like; of which the time difference method is most commonly applied. The ultrasonic flowmeter transducer is classified according to the installation mode and is divided into an external clamping type, an insertion type and a pipe section type. The clip-on ultrasonic flowmeter is further classified into V, Z, N, W method and the like according to the probe attachment method and the ultrasonic propagation path. The time difference ultrasonic fluid flow velocity of the external clamping type V method is calculated according to the following formula
Figure BDA0001686867500000021
In the formula: t 1-forward flow propagation time, t 2-reverse flow propagation time; d- -tube wall diameter; theta-the angle between the ultrasonic propagation path and the pipe wall. On the basis of the domestic existing research results and process conditions, the problems of poor precision and difficulty in writing by a civil ultrasonic flowmeter are overcome through the improved design of the ultrasonic flowmeter; the method analyzes the source of errors of the civil ultrasonic flowmeter one by one from the formula cut-in of the flow rate of the ultrasonic fluid with the V-method time difference and provides a corresponding solution. Without loss of generality, the discussion is based on the typical working condition of the commercial ultrasonic flowmeter in XX.
The pipe diameter d of the household gas conveying pipe is 30mm, and the gas flow of a user is 0.025-4 m3Reynolds number 66.153-10584.531
The diameter d of the household gas pipe is 30mm, and the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave is very short; the air propagation speed c of the ultrasonic wave in the standard state is 331.4 m/s; obviously, too short a propagation path penalizes the measurement accuracy of the flow. If a section of n-shaped measuring tube with long L > D is inserted into the gas delivery pipe, and transducers are arranged at two ends of the horizontal section of the measuring tube; when the flow measurement is carried out, the L of the horizontal section of the measuring tube is equivalent to the diameter D of the tube, and the inherent defect of very short propagation path is expected to be solved.
The measurement accuracy of the external clip V, Z, N, W method is related to the transducer mounting angle θ (ultrasonic incident angle), and considering that refraction occurs at the pipe wall and fluid interface when ultrasonic is incident, θ error will cause double measurement error. If the transducers are arranged at the two ends of the horizontal section of the n-shaped measuring tube, the mounting process is simple when theta is equal to 90 degrees, the precision is ensured, and the 90-degree incidence has no refraction phenomenon; therefore, the integrated structure of the n-shaped measuring tube integrated transducer is beneficial to eliminating double measuring errors generated by the error of the installation angle theta.
The ultrasonic waves are severely attenuated and distorted when propagating in the fuel gas, and larger ultrasonic wave transmitting power is necessary, so that an ultrasonic wave receiving end can be interfered by a transmitting end and an external noise environment; usually, the ultrasonic receiving end introduces a time receiving window technology to shield interference, namely the time t of the ultrasonic transmitting end signal reaching the receiving end0And when the power is 0.6-1.5 times of the power, the receiving circuit is switched on and off. In view of the fact that the ultrasonic propagation speed is related to the temperature, the real-time temperature is collected to correct the ultrasonic propagation speed U, and the U is calculated according to the following formula
U=U0×【1+T/273】0.5=331.4×【1+T/273】0.5(2)
The existing mainstream is [ 0.6t ]0,1.5t0Time receive window can be compressed to [0.8t ]0,1.2t0And the anti-interference capability and the accuracy of the ultrasonic flowmeter are improved.
Acoustic impedance mismatching between the ultrasonic transducer and the gas, selecting an acoustic matching layer material with acoustic impedance between the piezoelectric ceramic and the gas medium, and taking the ultrasonic wave wavelength 1/4 as the matching layer thickness; in the integrated structure of the n-shaped measuring tube integrated transducer, the transducer belongs to a plug-in mounting side, so that the defect of external clamping type ultrasonic signal attenuation is overcome, and short plates which are inconvenient to plug-in mount and large in workload are supplemented to a certain extent; the accuracy of the ultrasonic flowmeter is improved.
The study shows that the actual time t to receive the monopulse ultrasonic wave is t ═ tTrue+ε+ζ+ω,tTrueTheoretical time from transmission to reception, epsilon circuit delay time, zeta counter time error, omega random noise error (satisfying normal distribution); from the view point of mathematical statistics, the multi-pulse measurement method can reduce epsilon, zeta and omega to tTrueThe influence further improves the precision of the ultrasonic flowmeter.
The summary of the more representative intellectual property achievements of the civil ultrasonic gas meter is as follows:
the invention discloses an ultrasonic gas meter mixed signal processing circuit (ZL201410140147.0), and provides an ultrasonic gas meter mixed signal processing circuit which adjusts the peak value of an ultrasonic signal in real time through an automatic gain fuzzy control circuit.
The invention discloses an ultrasonic flow gas chamber for an ultrasonic gas meter (ZL201310084985.6), and provides the ultrasonic flow gas chamber for the ultrasonic gas meter, which changes the traditional mounting modes such as V-shaped and X-shaped modes and forms a long-distance correlation measurement path.
The beneficial exploration provides that the automatic gain fuzzy control circuit adjusts the peak value of the ultrasonic signal in real time, but the mixed signal processing circuit is realized by an analog device, so that the reliability is poor, the complexity is overhigh, and the function is limited; a long-distance correlation type measurement path air chamber is provided, but the air chamber is complex in structure, influences the distribution of a gas flow field, has corresponding countermeasure defects, and easily leaves impurities in a cavity of the lower straight pipe section to influence the measurement accuracy. Therefore, the exploration has a certain reference value, but the achievement still has limitation; further innovative design is needed on the basis of the existing results.
