The larger the flow rate of the fluid to be measured is, the larger the amount of charge formed on the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 is, that is, the amount of charge is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid to be measured.

The working principle is as follows:

The vortex street flow sensor is based on the Karman vortex street effect and consists of a vortex generating body and a detection probe which are designed in a flow field. When liquid flows through the vortex generating body, two rows of vortices which are alternately changed are formed on two sides of the vortex generating body, the vortices are called karman vortex streets, and the alternately changed vortices form a series of alternately changed negative pressure which acts on the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 to form electric charges. The larger the flow rate of the fluid to be measured is, the larger the amount of charge formed on the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 is, that is, the amount of charge is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid to be measured. The electric charge amplifying circuit is used for converting electric charges formed by the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 into voltages, amplifying the voltages and outputting the voltages, the shaping circuit is used for shaping electric signals output by the electric charge amplifying circuit and then sending the electric signals to the main control unit, and the main control unit sends the flow detection data to an upper computer through the communication unit so as to detect the flow data on line in real time.
Specifically, the charge amplifying circuit is used for amplifying a charge signal formed by the probe U8 of the vortex street flow sensor; an electrical signal proportional to the charge is output, while the high input impedance of the vortex shedding flow sensor is changed to a low input impedance. The working principle is as follows:
the operational amplifier U1 forms a differential amplification circuit, the differential amplification circuit can improve the common mode rejection capability of the input stage, and the operational amplifier U1 adopts a single power supply form, so that a direct current Vref power supply is superposed on the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier U1, the output of the vortex street flow sensor probe U1 is converted into positive voltage, and then the positive voltage is input into the operational amplifier U1.

The output of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 is an alternating current signal, the capacitor C4 and the capacitor C5 are used for filtering a direct current component in the vortex street flow sensor probe U8, and the output of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 is respectively sent to the non-inverting input end and the inverting input end of the operational amplifier U1. The operational amplifier U1 converts the charge signal formed by the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 into a voltage signal, amplifies the voltage signal and then sends the voltage signal to the shaping circuit.
In order to prevent the distortion of an output signal caused by integral saturation of a charge amplifying circuit from influencing the accuracy of final flow detection, a discharge reset circuit is connected in parallel to a feedback loop of an operational amplifier U1, and is forced to discharge and reset a capacitor C2 when the output signal of a vortex street flow sensor probe U8 crosses zero, wherein the discharge reset circuit is composed of a field effect tube Q1, a capacitor C3, a resistor R3, a diode D4, a resistor R22 and a field effect tube Q2. Wherein Va is a driving signal which is a rectangular wave having the same phase and frequency as the output signal of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8.
When the output signal of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 changes from negative to positive and passes through zero, va changes from low level to high level and is coupled to the grids of the field effect tube Q1 and the field effect tube Q2 through a capacitor C3; at this time, the gate-source voltage of the field effect transistor Q1 is positive and higher than the turn-on voltage, the field effect transistor Q1 is turned on, the feedback capacitor C2 is short-circuited, and the redundant charges are discharged, so that the operational amplifier U1 outputs forced zero-crossing. After that, the output signal of the probe U8 of the vortex street flow sensor enters a positive half cycle, the output signal of the operational amplifier U1 correspondingly enters a negative half cycle, the drain-source voltage of the field effect tube Q1 is negative, the field effect tube Q1 is disconnected, and the circuit is recovered to be in a normal state.
Similarly, when the output signal of the probe U8 of the vortex street flow sensor passes through zero from positive to negative, va changes from high level to low level, the grid-source voltage of the field-effect tube Q2 is negative and is lower than the starting voltage, the field-effect tube Q2 is conducted, the feedback capacitor C2 is short-circuited, and redundant charges are discharged; then, the output signal of the operational amplifier U1 enters a positive half cycle, the drain-source voltage of the field effect transistor Q2 is positive, and the field effect transistor Q2 is disconnected. The operation is repeated in this way, so that the normal operation of the charge amplifying circuit is ensured.
Because the flowmeter is mostly arranged outdoors, when the flowmeter is communicated with an upper computer, a longer signal line is easy to introduce thunder, two lightning protection diodes Z1 and Z2 are connected in parallel at the output end of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 in an opposite phase manner, and the input end of the circuit is protected by static electricity and lightning.

In the positive half cycle of the output signal of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8, the voltage of the in-phase input end of the operational amplifier U9 is higher than the voltage of the reverse-phase input end of the operational amplifier U9, and the operational amplifier U9 outputs a high level to the first end of the capacitor C3; when the output signal of the vortex street flow sensor probe U8 is changed from positive to negative, the voltage of the reverse phase input end of the operational amplifier U9 is higher than the voltage of the non-phase input end of the operational amplifier U9, and the operational amplifier U9 outputs a low level signal to the first end of the capacitor C3. The resistor R25 and the capacitor C8 form a filter circuit for filtering high-frequency clutter signals in rectangular waves output by the operational amplifier U9.

Although the charge amplifying circuit amplifies the charges generated by the vortex street flow sensor probe U8, the output voltage of the operational amplifier U1 is only about tens of millivolts and is still weak, so that further voltage amplification is required.
A second amplifying circuit is added between the charge amplifying circuit and the shaping circuit, wherein a capacitor C11, a resistor R5, a rheostat RP1, a resistor R4, an operational amplifier U3 and a resistor R6 form the second amplifying circuit, an alternating signal is output by the operational amplifier U1, and the operational amplifier U3 forms an alternating current amplifier with deep negative feedback. The resistor R5 is used as a balance resistor, because the input resistance of the in-phase amplifier is higher, when the in-phase end balance resistor R5 is not connected, the input resistance of the operational amplifier U3 is between 10M omega and 100M omega, after the in-phase end balance resistor R5 is connected, the input resistance is mainly determined by the value of the resistor R5, the second amplifying circuit amplifies an alternating current signal, and the second amplifying circuit utilizes the coupling capacitor C11 and the in-phase end input resistor of the operational amplifier U3 to form a high-pass filter to play the roles of blocking direct coupling and low-frequency filtering. The output voltage amplitude of the operational amplifier U3 can be changed by adjusting the resistance value of the rheostat RP1, and ideal amplified output can be obtained by adjusting the rheostat RP1 when the flow meter detects the flow of different media. Thereby improving the range of the flowmeter.

The vortex street signal changes with the flow change of the measured fluid, the value is between 1 to 2000Hz under different pipe diameters and mediums, the frequency of the interference signal also changes with the change of the frequency of the vortex street signal, when the flow of the measured fluid is smaller, the flow velocity of the fluid is smaller, and when the flow velocity is smaller, the signal is weaker, the interference is more obvious. The interference signal may completely cover the detected signal, and if the interference signal is not processed, the accuracy of the flow detection will be affected. Therefore, a filter circuit is added between the second amplifying circuit and the shaping circuit for filtering the interference signals.
The resistor R7, the resistor R8, the resistor R9, the capacitor C12, the capacitor C13, the resistor R10 and the operational amplifier U4 form a second-order low-pass filter circuit for filtering high-frequency clutter in the flow detection process; the capacitor C14, the resistor R11, the capacitor C16, the resistor R12, the resistor R13, the capacitor C15 and the operational amplifier U5 form a second-order high-pass filter circuit, noise interference can be introduced into the resistors in the conversion and transmission processes of electric signals, and the second-order high-pass filter circuit is used for filtering noise interference signals in the circuit.
As shown in fig. 6, the current limiter further includes a current limiting circuit, the current limiting circuit includes a resistor R16, a resistor R17, a resistor R18, an operational amplifier U7, a diode D1 and a diode D2, an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U7 is connected to an output terminal of the operational amplifier U6 through the resistor R16, a non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U7 is grounded through the resistor R18, an output terminal of the operational amplifier U7 is connected to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U7 through the resistor R17, an output terminal of the operational amplifier U7 is connected to an anode of the diode D1, a cathode of the diode D1 is connected to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U7, an output terminal of the operational amplifier U7 is connected to a cathode of the diode D2, an anode of the diode D2 is connected to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier U7, and an output terminal of the operational amplifier U7 is connected to the main control unit.
Because the main control unit has limited ability to bear the electric signal, when the amplitude of the electric signal input into the main control unit exceeds the limit which can be borne by the main control unit, permanent damage can be caused to the main control unit, and therefore, an amplitude limiting circuit is added between the filter circuit and the main control unit.
The amplitude limiting circuit is used for clamping the signal level output by the operational amplifier U5, so that interference is further eliminated, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the circuit is improved. And a feedback resistor R17 of the operational amplifier U7 is connected with a voltage stabilizing tube D1 and a voltage stabilizing tube D2 in parallel in an inverted way, so that an amplitude limiting circuit is formed, and when the output of the operational amplifier U7 reaches the stable voltage of the voltage stabilizing tube, the voltage stabilizing tube can make the feedback resistor R17 lose the effect, so that the output of the operational amplifier U7 is limited. In order to obtain bipolar clipping, two voltage regulators are used in this embodiment.
