Description

The ultrasound wave counting device that is used for the flow of definite flow media
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of ultrasound wave counting device that is used for the flow of definite medium, particularly liquid that flows or gas.
Background technology
DE 201 07 894 U1 disclose a kind of ultrasonic flowmeter of described type.Therefore here, the coboundary that deviates from the deviation mirror of fluid was streamed by dielectric ring, had formed the district that reduces of recirculating zone or flow velocity again in the surf zone of first deviation mirror, and this can cause that deviation mirror is contaminated.Also can have influence on the long-time stability of ultrasonic flowmeter thus.
DE 199 30 278 A1 have introduced a kind of ultrasound wave counting device, have one first deviation mirror, and it includes and flows to parallel hole, and these holes can stop deviation mirror contaminated.But here the deviation mirror of Jie Shaoing is very bothersome at its manufacture view, because must open many and off plumb hole, deviation mirror plane.
Summary of the invention
Task of the present invention is, a kind of new-type ultrasound wave counting device is provided, and it has long-term stability and on the one hand to polluting insensitive characteristics, can make simply on the other hand and also cost lower.
For the type ultrasound wave counting device, the solution of above-mentioned task is, it has a housing, has a measuring section that is placed in this housing, can carry out the transit time along this measuring section and measure (Laufzeitmessung), transit time difference measurements (Differenzlaufzeit-messung) particularly, it also has at least one ultrasonic transducer, at least one is along the deviation mirror of flow media flow direction, by it the ultrasound wave of ultrasonic transducer is turned to towards measuring tube, the mechanism that some on purpose influence the stream in the deviation mirror surf zone is set in the zone of deviation mirror, described mechanism is positioned on the deviation mirror bearing, this deviation mirror bearing has the preceding teat of a deviation mirror bearing, and, before this deviation mirror bearing teat constituted one concordant substantially with the deviation mirror surface, flat lateral surfaces extension.
When measuring transit time difference, the perhaps reflection of the ultrasonic signal by ultrasonic transducer or by being undertaken flow measurement by the relative other end ultrasonic waves transmitted signal of another ultrasonic transducer at measuring section, some are set in the zone of deviation mirror on purpose influences the mechanism of flowing in the deviation mirror surf zone, and particularly eliminates, shifts or reduce the recirculating zone again, have the little district of flowing and/or have the district of motionless medium.The present invention based on knowledge be that being provided with to influence in the deviation mirror surf zone mechanism that forms this district, that is to say preventions, mobile or reduce the formation in this district at least to a great extent.
This can meet the destination and carry out in typical flow region that select, counter works.Can guarantee like this, be removed again at heavy these layers during the quiescent phase or when atypia flows.
What meet purpose is, these mechanisms comprise the guiding device of the shunting that is used to produce at least one orientation, and wherein, this shunting is particularly directed substantially parallel with the first deviation mirror surface in the upper area of first deviation mirror.This shunting stop to form undesirable flow regimes, the recirculating zone again in the deviation mirror surf zone for example, thus prevent that foul from precipitating gradually.
What meet purpose is, another structure of the present invention, these mechanisms mainly are arranged in the zone of upper end of deviation mirror, therefore, they directly to equally in this zone the flow regimes (for example returning eddy current again) of formation exert an influence.
What meet purpose is that these mechanisms can be positioned at the zone of deviation mirror bearing and/or the zone of deviation mirror itself.
A suitable mechanism is, the deviation mirror bearing is teat shape before the deviation mirror bearing of side adjacency, and wherein, teat substantially evenly abuts on the surface of first deviation mirror before the deviation mirror bearing.Therefore we can say that the surface of deviation mirror is held by teat before the deviation mirror bearing and upwards prolongs.Can reach like this, the recirculating zone is transferred in the zone of teat before the deviation mirror bearing from the surface of deviation mirror.
What meet purpose is, the nozzle of at least one corresponding orientation or a related device of being made up of a plurality of nozzles is set as described mechanism.
Alternatively or additionally, these described mechanisms also can comprise the guide piece, particularly guide vane of a corresponding at least orientation.
Here, this nozzle can or be positioned at first deviation mirror, is positioned at the deviation mirror bearing, perhaps between first deviation mirror and deviation mirror bearing.
According to another configuration of the present invention, directed guide piece or nozzle are arching or crooked.The upper end of teat also advantageously constitutes agley before the deviation mirror bearing.
In addition, constitute a return flow line in an advantageous manner and since have on the end of return flow line one according to venturi in the main flow of low pressure of principle, a backflow is arranged, thereby it can increase to flow and makes the deviation mirror automatically cleaning in this return flow line.Here, the return flow line constitutes like this: be basically parallel to the deviation mirror surface in the transitional region of its teat before from deviation mirror to the deviation mirror bearing.The return flow line can be passed an extension extension on the preceding teat of deviation mirror bearing or connect an adapter by teat before the correspondingly configured deviation mirror bearing and constitute.
The configuration that another meets purpose of the present invention is, teat has constituted deviation mirror flat, that substantially evenly stop a surface extension at it before the deviation mirror bearing in the transitional region of deviation mirror, the result is that the recirculating zone is transferred in the zone of the preceding teat of deviation mirror bearing again.
The present invention from the feature of another form of implementation be that the deviation mirror bearing meets the destination and can form along half part of a vertical defiber combination by two.This makes the insertion of deviation mirror easier on the one hand, and it is easier to make on the other hand as the manufacturing of the deviation mirror bearing of complex-shaped improved plastics structural shape.Also can half identical part be set for the additional deviation mirror that ultrasonoscope is counted in the device.This thought makes it possible to best fixedly deviation mirror, and this is an important prerequisite that guarantees ultrasound wave counting device long-time stability.
If the deviation mirror bearing has the device that is used for fixing measuring tube, housing advantageously needn't be processed.
In addition, the thermal expansivity of deviation mirror bearing, housing and/or deviation mirror can be complementary.
What meet purpose is that deviation mirror has parallel stationary plane.For example, it can make polygonal, particularly octagonal, can reach better fixedly degree of accuracy by this when packing into.Perhaps come shape fixing deviation mirror identically here, by four right-angle planes or by four diagonal dominant matrices.
In addition, can come shape fixing deviation mirror identically by the corresponding recesses in the deviation mirror bearing, this can improve long-time stability.
What meet purpose is, compares with main flow, and shunting has bigger flowing velocity.
Ratio≤1 of shunting and whole flow: 20, perhaps meet the destination in 1: 20 to 1: 130 scope.Like this, main flow does not have obvious errors, thereby can the measurement characteristics that ultrasound wave is counted device not had a negative impact.
That bearing brace on the deviation mirror bearing can be made the sieve shape or constitute as fluid rectifier.
The deviation mirror bearing not only carries a deviation mirror, but also carries another deviation mirror, and the bearing of this deviation mirror is maintained in the position by a retaining element that particularly is placed in the center. and its advantage is, because special fixing can be reduced the tolerance of member.
The feature of another form of implementation of the present invention is that deviation mirror bearing, deviation mirror and measuring tube can be used as a unit and take out or insert from the housing of ultrasound wave counting device, exactly, need not pull down corresponding ultrasonic transducer.Therefore, maintenance and maintenance are simple especially.
What meet purpose is, ultrasonic transducer is positioned at the housing of ultrasound wave counting device, for example concordant with the measuring tube inside surface or continue to insert inwards in the housing of ultrasound wave counting device.
The deviation mirror bearing by at least one, preferably two O-ring seals around, these O-ring seals are used for the sealing of deviation mirror bearing and ultrasound wave counting device housing on the one hand, to link together by the unit that deviation mirror bearing, deviation mirror and measuring tube are formed on the other hand, like this, this unit is inserting or is pulling out and can be operated simply especially.
