Ultrasound has gained increased attention in the field of detection technology. Ultrasonic flow meters are increasingly used in the flow detection field because of their advantages of low pressure loss, wide range, low start, bi-directional metering, etc. The measuring principle of the ultrasonic flowmeter is based on a time difference method, which is a measuring method for calculating flow information according to the propagation time difference of ultrasonic waves in a measured medium under the conditions of forward flow and reverse flow. In the time difference method, an ultrasonic flowmeter mostly adopts a detection mode of zero crossing comparison, and the method has high requirements on grabbing of the head waves, and head wave judgment is generally carried out by setting a threshold value. In the practical application scene of the ultrasonic flowmeter, more interference, such as scaling on the surface of the transducer, temperature change, more impurities, environmental noise and the like, can occur, and the occurrence of the interference can lead to the change of a receiving signal of the transducer, so that the situation that the set threshold value does not meet the measurement requirement and the false wave occurs is caused.
In the detection field, interference is ubiquitous and unavoidable, so that it is important to select a suitable error-proofing and compensation method. At present, a common false wave identification method is to calculate the sound velocity in water according to temperature, obtain standard flight time according to sound path and sound velocity, and compare the standard flight time with the flight time measured by the meter internal measuring chip to identify whether false waves occur.
For the current method, the cost is high, a temperature sensor needs to be added, the metering precision is low, the flow field in the original meter can be damaged after the temperature sensor is added, the stability is poor, and once the temperature sensor has a problem, the fault wave judgment can not be carried out.
The method solves the zero-flow character passing problem caused by high false wave identification cost, poor stability and inaccurate compensation after the false wave identification. Specifically, the excitation voltage of a part of excitation waveforms of the transmitting circuit is adjusted, the Time of each zero crossing point is collected and output through a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) chip, echo signals are collected through the TDC, the amplitude of each waveform is recorded, and the head wave T is confirmed start And amplitude abrupt waveform T end Number of interval waveforms between N intvl Through N intvl And T is end The amplitude of the front and rear waveforms of the system can be used for judging whether the false wave occurs.
The technical concept of the method is that a corresponding target echo signal is obtained by initiating an excitation signal with specific waveform information, the false wave condition of the target echo signal can be determined according to the first characteristic wave and the second characteristic wave corresponding to the specific waveform information in the target echo signal and the amplitude information and the wave sequence information, and then the false wave type and the false wave degree of the target echo signal are determined, so that the false wave detection of the ultrasonic flowmeter is realized.
