In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an electromagnetic flowmeter including: a main body 10, a plurality of flow tubes 20, and a plurality of electromagnets 30.
Wherein the body 10 has an inlet and an outlet. A plurality of flow tubes 20 are provided in the main body 10, and the plurality of flow tubes 20 communicate with the outside through an inlet and an outlet. Each flow tube 20 is provided with a pair of detection electrodes 21, and one end of the flow tube 20 near the inlet and one end near the outlet are both provided with a ground electrode 22. A plurality of electromagnets 30 are disposed within the body 10, one side of the flow tube 20 being adjacent to the electromagnets 30.
Wherein an electromagnet 30 is disposed between two adjacent flow tubes 20. The electromagnet 30 is disposed within a yoke housing having flux ports at its ends facing the flow tube 20.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the main body 10 is understood to be a housing of an electromagnetic flowmeter, and the flow tube 20 and the electromagnet 30 are disposed in the main body 10, where the main body 10 provides protection for the components therein. The main body 10 has an inlet and an outlet for the flow tube 20 to communicate with the outside of the main body 10.
One possible way of implementing the flow tube 20 is that the flow tube 20 is a tubular member, disposed within the body 10, within which fluid can flow. Another implementation manner of the flow tube 20 is that the electromagnetic flowmeter includes a flow tube body, where at least one flow channel is disposed on the flow tube body, and fluid can flow in the flow channel, and the flow channel is the flow tube 20.
A pair of detection electrodes 21 is provided on the flow tube 20, and the detection electrodes 21 extend into the flow tube 20 to be in contact with the fluid. The direction of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 30, the direction of the fluid flow in the flow tube 20, and the detection direction of the detection electrode 21 are distributed in an orthogonal manner. When the conductive fluid flows through the magnetic field perpendicular to the flow direction, the conductive fluid induces an induced voltage proportional to the average flow velocity, which is detected by the two detection electrodes 21 that are in direct contact with the conductive fluid. The induced voltage detected by the detection electrode 21 is proportional to the magnetic field strength and the water flow speed, and the magnitude of the fluid flow can be reversely deduced by the voltage value detected by the detection electrode 21. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the electromagnet 30 works, the polarity of the electromagnet 30 facing one end of the flow tube 20 needs to be changed rapidly and repeatedly, so as to form an alternating magnetic field, and avoid charge accumulation in the flow tube 20, which affects the detection of the induced voltage by the detection electrode 21, and thus affects the calculation of the fluid flow. Grounding of the electromagnetic flowmeter can be achieved through the grounding electrode 22 at one end of the flow tube 20 close to the inlet and one end close to the outlet, the grounding path length can be effectively shortened, the anti-interference capability of the electromagnetic flowmeter is improved, and the grounding reliability is improved.
The electromagnet 30 can be externally placed in a magnetic field through the magnetic flux ports at the two ends of the magnetic yoke shell, so that the flow tubes 20 at the two ends are positioned in the magnetic field, and the magnetic fields of the two flow tubes 20 are provided by the electromagnet 30 positioned between the two flow tubes, so that the two flow tubes are symmetrical, and the problem of inconsistent magnetic fields is avoided. Meanwhile, the yoke housing is wrapped on the outer surface of the electromagnet 30, so that leakage of a magnetic field generated after the coil 33 is electrified can be prevented.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention includes, but is not limited to, that the electromagnetic flowmeter can be used on equipment such as agricultural plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles, pesticide spraying vehicles, manual spraying devices, greening spraying equipment and the like. The grounding electrode 22 is used for grounding, compared with the prior art, the grounding path is short, the anti-interference capability is strong, the metal connector and the metal shell are not used for grounding, the weight and the manufacturing cost are reduced, the situation of galvanic corrosion at the joint of the metal connector and the metal shell can not occur, and the grounding reliability is high. Meanwhile, the ground electrode 22 is arranged on the flow tube 20, and the installation mode can refer to the installation mode of the detection electrode, so that the method is simple and easy to realize. In order to better realize the detection of the induced voltage by the detection electrode 21, referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, in the embodiment of the present invention, a first electrode plate 40, a second electrode plate 41 and an electrical connector 42 are further disposed in the main body 10. One of the pair of detection electrodes 21 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 40, and the other is electrically connected to the second electrode plate 41. The ground electrode 22 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41. The electric connector 42 bypasses the magnetic field formed by the electromagnet 30 and is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 40 and the second electrode plate 41, respectively. One end of the detection electrode 21 stretches into the flow pipe 20 to be in contact with fluid, the other end of the detection electrode is connected with the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, and the first electrode plate 40 and the second electrode plate 41 are connected through an electric connecting piece 42, so that a signal detection loop is formed by the detection electrode 21, the first electrode plate 40, the electric connecting piece 42, the second electrode plate 41 and the detection electrode 21, and detection of induced voltage by the detection electrode 21 is better realized. The electrical connection 42 bypasses the magnetic field created by the electromagnet 30 to avoid interference from alternating magnetic fields.
Meanwhile, one end of the ground electrode 22 is extended into the flow tube 20 to contact with fluid, and the other end is connected with the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, and the ground electrode 22 is used for realizing the grounding of the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, so that the grounding path is short, and the anti-interference capability is improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, one possible connection manner of the detection electrode 21 and the flow tube 20 is that one end of the detection electrode 21 is connected to the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41. In an embodiment of the present invention, the detection electrode 21 includes, but is not limited to, being made of a corrosion-resistant metal material, such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, or the like. For the dismouting of convenient detection electrode 21, can adopt clearance fit between detection electrode 21 and the detection mounting hole, the cover has the sealing washer on the detection electrode 21, and the sealing washer is radial sealing washer, compares the terminal surface seal, and the terminal surface of detection electrode 21 need not too big clamp force and can guarantee sealed effect. The detection electrode 21 and the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41 can be connected through screws, or the detection electrode 21 and the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41 can be welded, for example, the end face of the detection electrode 21 is tightly contacted with the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, electrode holes are formed in the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, conductive copper sheets are arranged around the electrode holes, the detection electrode 21 extends into the electrode holes, and the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41 is connected with the circuit board through soldering. Further, in order to improve the solderability of the detection electrode 21, the surface of the detection electrode 21 may be tinned in advance. The first electrode plate 40 and the second electrode plate 41 can be made of hard circuit boards, can act as electrode pressing sheets, directly press the detection electrode 21, and avoid adding additional electrode pressing sheets and screws, thereby saving the electrode pressing sheets and screws, reducing the material and assembly cost, and enabling the structure of the electromagnetic flowmeter to be more compact.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the connection mode of the ground electrode 22 and the flow tube 20 may refer to the connection mode of the detection electrode 21 and the flow tube 20. One possible way to connect the ground electrode 22 to the flow tube 20 is to provide a ground mounting hole in the flow tube 20. The ground electrode 22 has a multi-stage columnar structure, and one end portion of the ground electrode 22 extends into the ground mounting hole, and the other end is connected to the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41. Further, to prevent fluid within the flow tube 20 from escaping through the ground mounting hole, a second sealing structure is provided on the ground electrode 22 that seals the gap between the ground electrode 22 and the ground mounting hole. The second sealing structure includes, but is not limited to, a seal ring.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the ground electrode 22 includes, but is not limited to, being fabricated from a corrosion resistant metallic material, such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, or the like. In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the grounding electrode 22, clearance fit can be adopted between the grounding electrode 22 and the grounding installation hole, a sealing ring is sleeved on the grounding electrode 22, the sealing ring is a radial sealing ring, and compared with end face sealing, the sealing effect can be ensured without too large pressing force on the end face of the grounding electrode 22. The ground electrode 22 and the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41 may be connected by screws, or the ground electrode 22 and the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41 may be welded.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, in order to avoid the impact on the electrical connector 42 when the electromagnetic flowmeter vibrates, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shock absorbing member 43 is disposed on the electrical connector 42, and the shock absorbing member 43 prevents the vibration of the electrical connector 42. The shock absorbing member 43 includes, but is not limited to, shock absorbing foam, which may be adhered to the electrical connection member 42 while being connected to other components. When the electromagnetic flowmeter vibrates, the influence of vibration on the electric connector 42 can be relieved through the buffering effect of the shock absorber 43, so that signal transmission of the electric connector 42 is ensured, and electromagnetic interference caused by vibration of the electric connector 42 is prevented. The damper 43 may be provided around the vicinity of the electric connector 42 instead of on the electric connector 42, thereby preventing the electric connector 42 from vibrating to generate electromagnetic interference.
In the above embodiment, in order to process the signal of the detection electrode 21, it is necessary to connect the detection electrode 21 with an external processing device, and one possible way is to connect the detection electrode 21 with an external processing device through the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, so that the signal of the detection electrode 21 is processed by the external processing device, for example, the induced voltage of the detection electrode 21 is amplified, filtered, shaped by a converter, and sent to the MCU (Microcontroller Unit, micro control unit) to complete the display and output control of the instantaneous flow and the accumulated flow.
Further, in order to avoid signal transmission with an external processing unit, the transmission path is too long, which results in signal attenuation. With continued reference to fig. 1 and 4-6, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, a motherboard 44 is also provided within the body 10. The main board 44 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 30, and is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41. The main board 44 is provided with a quick connector 45, and the quick connector 45 extends outwards through an electrical connector on the main body 10. The main board 44 is provided with a power supply unit, a signal processing unit and an arithmetic unit, wherein the power supply unit can supply power to the electromagnet 30, the signal processing unit is used for amplifying, filtering and shaping the induced voltage of the detection electrode 21, and the arithmetic unit can calculate the flow rate of the fluid in the flow tube 20 through the induced voltage detected by the detection electrode 21. One possible implementation of the quick connector 45 is a pin, which is used for connecting the electromagnetic flowmeter with an external processing device, and can transmit the signal processed by the motherboard 44 to the processing device.
For example, referring to fig. 5 and 6, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the electrical connection 42 may be implemented by an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit, flexible circuit board) that bypasses the magnetic field formed by the electromagnet 30, ensuring that the signal detection loop plane is parallel to the magnetic field direction and thus not disturbed by the alternating magnetic field. The detection electrode 21 and the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41 may be connected by a compression screw. The first electrode plate 40 is electrically connected to the main board 44 through a connector. The detection electrode is connected with the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate to form a detection circuit, and the signal is relatively weak. The power supply signal and the processing circuit are arranged on the main board, the signals are relatively strong, and the interference of strong signals on weak signals is avoided, so that the detection accuracy is ensured.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the conductive fluid passes through the flow tube 20, that is, when the conductive fluid cuts magnetic lines of force to generate induced voltage, the fluid itself is used as zero potential, and at this time, a positive potential is generated on one detection electrode 21, and a negative potential is generated on the other detection electrode 21, so that the induced voltage is continuously changed. Thus, the main board 44 needs to be at zero potential and conductive with the conductive fluid so as to form a symmetrical input loop. Since the output induced voltage of the detection electrode 21 is small, it is usually only a few millivolts. In order to improve the anti-interference capability of the electromagnetic flowmeter, the zero potential in the input loop must be grounded, and the ground potential is zero potential. If the external interference signal is caused by poor or no grounding, the error occurs in the main board 44 receiving the induction power of the detection electrode 21, and the error reporting form is as follows: empty pipe, zero signal or negative signal.
In the embodiment of the invention, the grounding electrode 22 is connected with the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, and a grounding loop of the electromagnetic flowmeter is formed by the grounding electrode 22 at one end of the flow tube close to the inlet, namely the grounding electrode 22 at one end of the flow tube close to the outlet (the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41). The conductive fluid contacts the ground electrode 22, and the ground electrode 22 is connected to the first electrode plate 40 or the second electrode plate 41, thereby realizing the flow of the ground current and the grounding of the electrode plates.
With continued reference to fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, one way in which electromagnet 30 may be implemented is that electromagnet 30 includes: support frame 31, iron core 32, coil 33 and shock attenuation preforming 34. The support 31 includes a support column and limiting plates disposed at opposite ends of the support column, and the support column has a through cavity. The core 32 is disposed within the interior cavity of the support column. The coil 33 is wound around the outer surface of the support post and is located between the two limiting plates. Wherein the support frame 31 is used to provide support for the coil 33, the diameter of the inner cavity of the support column is matched with the outer diameter of the core 32, and the "matching" herein means that the diameter of the inner cavity of the support column may be slightly larger or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the core 32. When the diameter of the inner cavity of the support column is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the iron core 32, the iron core 32 can be connected in the inner cavity of the support column in a bonding, welding, clamping and other modes. When the diameter of the inner cavity of the support column is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the iron core 32, the iron core 32 can be extruded into the inner cavity of the support column, the inner cavity of the support column is in interference connection with the iron core 32, and the inner cavities of the iron core 32 and the support column are connected in a bonding, welding, clamping mode and the like mode for ensuring the connection strength. The coil 33 is disposed between the two limiting plates. Through the limiting plates at the opposite ends of the support column, the coil 33 can be limited along the axial direction of the coil 33, and the coil 33 is prevented from moving axially on the support column.
In order to prevent the magnetic field fluctuation caused by the vibration of the coil 33, the electromagnet 30 is further provided with a damping presser piece 34, and the damping presser piece 34 is made of rubber material or silica gel material. The shock absorbing presser pieces 34 are arranged in such a manner that the shock absorbing presser pieces 34 are respectively connected with the limiting plate and the main body 10. Alternatively, the shock absorbing pads 34 are connected to the limiting plate and the flow tube 20, respectively. It should be noted that the above two modes may be implemented separately or may be implemented in combination, which is not limited herein. The supporting frame 31 can be extruded through the damping pressing sheet 34, and when the supporting frame 31 vibrates, the damping pressing sheet 34 can prevent the supporting frame 31 from moving, so that magnetic field fluctuation caused by vibration of the coil 33 is prevented. Further, the damping presser piece 34 may be disposed between the coil 33 and the limiting plate to prevent the coil 33 from moving relative to the support column due to vibration. Further, the damping press piece 34 can also extend into the inner cavity of the support column to press the iron core 32, so as to prevent the iron core 32 from moving relative to the support column due to vibration.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to restrict the magnetic field direction of the electromagnet 30, reduce magnetic leakage, and prevent the external magnetic field from interfering with the electromagnet 30, a yoke plate or a yoke housing is further disposed on the electromagnet 30.

Each pump 70 is connected with two spraying devices 80, namely (1) the pump 70 is connected with two spray heads a and b, (2) the pump 70 is connected with two spray heads c and d, (3) the pump 70 is connected with two spray heads h and g, and (4) the pump 70 is connected with two spray heads e and f. To ensure the spray uniformity of the left and right sides of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 90, the plurality of spray devices 80 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 90 along the first axis 91.
