By table 2 it is found that the uniformity of weight function distribution becomes in sensor as rectangle is retracted the variation of duct width w
Change unobvious, i.e. the uniformity influence that be distributed on weight function of rectangle retraction duct width is smaller.As rectangle is retracted duct height h
Reduction, the uniformity of weight function distribution is become better and better in sensor.
(4) it is based on finite element numerical analysis software, establishes the crushing numerical model of electromagnetism water meter.
Based on ANSYS Fluent finite element numerical analysis software, the step of constructing crushing numerical model, is as follows:
1) threedimensional model of Pro/E software building rectangle indented style electromagnetism water meter structure is used, and before sensor
Respectively there are the straight pipeline of 20D and 40D afterwards, modeling result saves as the geometry file of .igs format.
2) grid dividing, inlet porting, outlet and wall surface perimeter strip are carried out using Fluent pre-processing software ICEM CFD
Part.Hexahedral mesh is created using bottom-up approach, and guarantees to solve in tube wall boundary and Sensor section refined net
Precision.
3) emulation solution is carried out using Fluent software, selects Realizable k- ε two-equation turbulence model.Entrance side
Boundary's condition setting is speed entrance, and velocity magnitude is set as 3.537m/s, turbulence intensity 3.245%, and hydraulic diameter is
100mm.Exit condition is set as free discharge, and sensor tube wall roughness height is set as 0.008mm, front and back straight pipeline wall surface
Roughness height is set as 0.46mm.Discrete solution is carried out to governing equation using SIMPLEC algorithm.
4) simulation result is post-processed using CFD-POST software, respectively at the preceding 10D of sensor and the rear position 20D
Section is set, and value of pressure loss is the difference of the pressure in section at front and back two.
5) it repeats the above steps, emulation solves straight pipeline crushing when rectangle indented style electromagnetism water meter is not present, the two pressure
Damage difference is the electromagnetism water meter crushing under the conditions of national standard.
(5) it is based on crushing numerical model, crushing analysis is carried out to the measurement pipeline of electromagnetism water meter different structure size.
The economic velocity of electromagnetism water meter is generally 3m/s, so being directed to DN100 electromagnetism water meter, common flow set is
100m3/ h, so the inlet flow rate of sensor is set as 3.537m/s.Based on crushing numerical model, different structure size is calculated
The crushing size of electromagnetism water meter.Since the height and width of rectangle indented style electromagnetism water meter are smaller, the crushing of sensor is bigger, long
Spend smaller, crushing is smaller.So being highly the bigger the better with width, length is the smaller the better to reduce the crushing size of sensor.
Due to rectangle indented style electromagnetism water meter need lesser height guarantee weight function distribution uniformity.So rectangle retraction section
Width is maximized, and length is minimized.For DN100 electromagnetism water meter, width direction needs to place the fixed electrode of stud, in order to
Reduce the size of sensor, width maximum value is 80mm.Rectangle retraction section needs to place magnet exciting coil for generating magnetic field, length
Cannot be too small, length minimum value is 80mm.Crushing and flow rate result such as 3 institute of table of rectangle indented style electromagnetism water meter different height
Show.

(6) under conditions of meeting national standard crushing requirement, according to the uniformity that weight function is distributed, optimum structure size is determined
Measurement pipeline.
The relationship for analyzing electromagnetism water meter crushing size and weight function distributing homogeneity and sensor structure size, is meeting state
Under conditions of marking crushing requirement, optimal measurement pipeline structural parameters are determined.
By the analysis of table 2 and table 3 it is found that the height of rectangle indented style electromagnetism water meter is smaller, the liquid flow in sensor
Speed is bigger, is more conducive to the precise measurement of small flow, and the weight function distributing homogeneity in sensor is better, convection distribution
Dependence is lower, but the crushing of sensor is also increasing.So highly being got under conditions of meeting national standard crushing requirement
It is small better.National standard crushing is dimensioned to 40KPa, therefore optimal measurement pipe road a height of 80 × 80 × 25mm of length and width.

The difference of average potential obtains induced electromotive force.
(8) it is based on induced electromotive force numerical model, the magnetic structure of electromagnetism water meter Different structural parameters is compared point
Analysis, determines optimal magnetic structure, finally obtains the electromagnetism water meter of optimum structure parameter.
Based on induced electromotive force numerical model, the induced electromotive force of electromagnetism water meter is big when analyzing different magnetic structure parameters
It is small;Respectively analyte sensors magnetic structure only contain magnetic yoke 5, containing magnetic yoke 5 and iron core 3, containing magnetic yoke 5 and iron core 3 and pole plate 4
