Below, with reference to accompanying drawing embodiment of the present utility model is described.Fig. 1 is expression as the gas instrument device of the embodiment of flow measurement device of the present utility model and comprises the block diagram of summary of the gas fees pre-paid system of this gas instrument device.Gas fees pre-paid system (flow rate measuring system) air inclusion metering device 100 and can insert IC-card read-write (R/W) device (the storage medium reading device) 200 of getting IC-card (prepaid card) 300.
Gas instrument device 100 as shown in the figure, is arranged on the intake section of the gas supply pipe of each family, instrumentation as use in the gas utensil in the family by the flow of the gas of instrumentation fluid, use amount.IC-card read-write (R/W) device 200 is connected with gas instrument device 100 by wired or wireless communication, from the IC-card 300 that the user buys in advance, read its number of degrees, and from gas instrument device 100, read the use amount of gas, the deduction number of degrees suitable from IC-card 300 with this use amount.
As shown in Figure 2, gas instrument device 100 possesses stream 13, valve 14, instrumentation portion 5, zero point correcting section 40, flow operational part 27, flux cumulating portion 30, sends acceptance division 32, notice portion 38 and driven for opening and closing portion 45.
Stream 13 be arranged on the inflow road 1 that is connected with the gas supply pipe of each family and with outflow road 2 that gas utensil in the family is connected between.And, in the way of stream 13, be connected with in the instrumentation longshore current road 13 gas that flows speed (flow velocity) instrumentation portion 15 and constitute the valve 14 of the switching portion that opens and closes stream 13.Valve 14 is made of common valve gears such as solenoid valve or motorized valves.
Zero point, correcting section 40 was when having closed stream 13 by valve 14, detected the null value of instrumentation portion 15 and carried out the null value revisal.Flow operational part 27 based on by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to the flow velocity of gas and the basal area of stream 13 flow that comes computing gas.Flux cumulating portion 30 calculates, put aside the aggregate-value of the flow of the gas during given.Send acceptance division 32 and IC-card read-write equipment 200 between carry out information such as integrated flow by cable 3 transmission receive.
Notice portion 38 comprises display part 34 and hummer 36.Display part 34 is made of liquid crystal indicator etc., visually shows various information.Hummer 36 produces given warning tones when unusual the use.Display part 34, hummer 36 boths are as described later, when the number of degrees of IC-card 300 are zero, when flow operational part 27 calculates non-vanishing flow, to carry out given notice (warning) to the user.Driven for opening and closing portion 45 drives valve 14, opens and closes stream 13.Particularly, the timing of driven for opening and closing portion 45 when the zero point revisal, valve-off 14 cuts off the gas flow in the stream 13.
Fig. 3 represents the formation of a part of the instrumentation portion 15 of gas instrument device 100.The hollow arrow A of Fig. 3 is illustrated in the mobile direction of gas in the stream 13 (fluid).Instrumentation portion 15 comprises the 1st oscillator 21 and the 2nd oscillator 22 that is arranged in the stream 13.The 1st oscillator 21 and the 2nd oscillator 22 are configured to press from both sides the fluids that flow on Jie's longshore current road 13 and relative.The 1st oscillator 21 and the 2nd oscillator 22 send received ultrasonic signal.
Fig. 4 is the block diagram of formation of the part of presentation graphs 2, instrumentation portion shown in Figure 3 15 and the gas instrument device 100 that is connected with instrumentation portion 15.Instrumentation portion 15 comprises: the sending part 23 of sending periodic drive signal to the 1st oscillator 21 and the 2nd oscillator 22; The enlarging section 24 that the ultrasonic signal that has received is amplified; Relatively from the enlarging section 24 output signals and the comparing section 29 of reference signal; Got from the signal of comparing section 29 output, set multiplicity when having detected the above signal of reference signal,, between the 1st oscillator 21 and the 2nd oscillator 22, repeated the repetition portion 46 that ultrasound wave transmits by this multiplicity of having set; When this repetition, make the delay portion 10 of ultrasound wave transmission delay; And timing portion 25.
Detecting from the enlarging section 24 occasions of having exported the signal more than the reference signal by comparing section 29, the signal that comparing section 29 has arrived to repetition portion 46 output expression received signals.Repetition portion 46 is got from the signal of comparing section 29 outputs, judges to receive to be subjected to the number of times of this signal whether to reach predefined multiplicity.Reached the occasion of predefined multiplicity at the number of times that receives this signal, repetition portion 46 control transmission means 23 make by make the delay portion 10 of signal delay by certain hour, send ultrasonic signals from sending part 23.Repeat to send ultrasonic signal from sending part 23 like this.
The transmission that switching part 26 switches the 1st oscillator 21 and the 2nd oscillator 22 receives.Promptly, the 1st oscillator 21 of upstream side sends ultrasonic signal, the 2nd oscillator 22 in downstream receives the such ultrasound wave transmission of this ultrasonic signal by after the number of times repetition of setting, the 2nd oscillator 22 in downstream sends ultrasonic signal, and the 1st oscillator 21 of upstream side receives the such ultrasound wave transmission of this ultrasonic signal and repeats by the number of times of setting.
Timing portion 25 obtains by the number of times of setting and repeats to transmit the needed time (the 1st passing time) and repeat to transmit the needed time (the 2nd passing time) from the 2nd oscillator 22 to the ultrasound wave of the 1st oscillator 21 by the number of times of setting to the ultrasound wave of the 2nd oscillator 22 from the 1st oscillator 21, obtains the mistiming of 2 times.Timing portion 25 for example is a timer conter.
Flow operational part 27 is based on the basal area of the speed of the fluid of being obtained by timing portion 25 and stream 13 and obtain flow.In instrumentation portion, use ultrasound wave like this, just can not upset flowing of fluid and the mensuration flow.
In the occasion that valve 14 is closed, fluid does not flow in stream 13.In this occasion, should be 0 by the flow (flow velocity) of instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations., sometimes since temperature etc. from the temperature variation of externalities, flow operational part 27, timeliness variation etc., depart from the zero point of instrumentation portion 15 sometimes.In this occasion, being differed by the flow of instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations is decided to be 0.
For example, the 1st oscillator the 21, the 2nd oscillator 22 is because temperature etc. can produce skew from externalities, timeliness variation etc.Even can imagine that therefore fluid does not flow, also can go out mobile situation by flase drop owing to received signal.In order to prevent such phenomenon, correcting section 40 at zero point zero point of revisal instrumentation portion 15 in advance when not having flow.By carrying out this operation, when next valve 14 had been opened, instrumentation portion 15 can carry out the instrumentation operation at once.
Zero point, correcting section 40 values based on flow operational part 27 detected the null value that is arranged on the instrumentation portion 15 in the stream 13 that valve 14 closed, and carried out the null value revisal.For example, under the state of having closed at valve 14 by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value as the basic value (value of the occasion of flow zero, be null value), to when valve is opened for 14 next times by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value increase and decrease this basic value, thereby reach this null value revisal.
At this moment, occasion that has departed from greatly at zero point etc. informs that to the user this is unusual by display part 34, hummer 36, and this also is effective.Utilize to send acceptance division 32 again or other supvr of connecting portion to the outside with external unit report that just can carry out the reparation of abnormality quickly, this is useful.
Zero point, correcting section 40, for example comprised storage part (not shown) and increase and decrease portion (not shown).Under the state of having closed at valve 14 by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value be stored in the storage part as basic value (value of the occasion of flow zero, i.e. null value).Increase and decrease portion is to opening for 14 next times at valve, in stream 13 during the fluid actual flow by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to the value increase and decrease be stored in basic value in the storage part.
For example, under the state that valve 14 has been closed by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value (null value) be 5 liters, and open for 14 next times at valve, in stream 13 during the fluid actual flow by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value be 15 liters occasion, increase and decrease portion carries out the such subtraction of 15-5=10.Also have, for example, under the state that valve 14 has been closed by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value (null value) be-5 liters, and open for 14 next times at valve, in stream 13 during the fluid actual flow by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to value be 15 liters occasion, increase and decrease portion carries out 15-(5)=such addition of 15+5.
Like this, zero point, correcting section 40 detected the null value of instrumentation portion 15, based on the null value that has detected come revisal by instrumentation portion 15 instrumentations to the null value revisal of value.
At this, when carrying out the zero point revisal, it is important making the pressure stabilityizations in the gas instrument device 100, and the pressure after preferably valve 14 is closed will be stablized as far as possible.
But valve 14 is in the occasion of upstream side in gas instrument device 100, and the gas that the space segment in remaining downstream exists is used, thereby the inside of gas instrument device 100 becomes negative pressure as a whole easily.Under such situation, be difficult to make the pressure inside stabilization of gas instrument device 100.And the instrumentation portion 15 of the flow of instrumentation gas (flow velocity) is in the downstream of valve 14, just is difficult to carry out exactly the revisal at zero point.
But in the utility model, shown in the enforcement mode, valve 14 is arranged on the downstream of instrumentation portion 15.Therefore, even valve 14 is closed, what all can have gas residue in instrumentation portion 15, can prevent that the inside of gas instrument device 100 from becoming negative pressure.Therefore, in the gas instrument device of present embodiment, can carry out the revisal at zero point more accurately.
Fig. 5 represents the IC-card read-write (block diagram of R/W>device 200.IC-card read-write equipment 200 comprises signal and sends acceptance division 209, number of degrees reading part 210, number of degrees reduction portion 211, flow partition detection unit 212, IC-card insertion section 213 and control part 214.
Signal sends acceptance division 209 and carries out the transmission reception of signal with the transmission acceptance division 32 of gas instrument device 100.Number of degrees reading part 210 reads in the number of degrees that write in the IC-card (storage medium) 300, and number of degrees reduction portion 211 cuts down the number of degrees of IC-card according to the use amount of gas.Flow cuts off partition or the open judgement that detection unit 212 carries out flow.IC-card insertion section 213 is IC-card 300 parts of getting of inserting.Control part 214 carries out the integral body control of IC-card read-write equipment 200.
Next illustrates the related IC-card 300 of the user of gas, the use-pattern of IC-card read-write equipment 200.
At first, the user of gas buys showroom, other the local IC-cards 300 sold in gas companies, and IC-card 300 is the storage mediums that write the number of degrees corresponding with the use amount of gas in advance, is so-called prepaid card.These number of degrees represent to utilize how much gas, according to the purchase amount of money of IC-card 300, and the varying in size of the number of degrees that are written into.Bought and inserted IC-card 300 in the IC-card read-write equipment 200 of user in the own home of IC-card 300 and just can utilize gas.
The user is 213 insertion IC-cards 300 in the IC-card insertion section, and number of degrees reading part 210 just reads in the number of degrees that write in this IC-card 300.And signal sends acceptance division 209 information of these number of degrees that read is sent to gas instrument device 100.The transmission acceptance division 32 of gas instrument device 100 receives the information of the number of degrees.Based on this number of degrees information that has received, driven for opening and closing portion 45 opens valve 14, and gas flows with regard to longshore current road 13.By this a succession of control, with regard to the energy using gases.
As mentioned above, the flow of the gas that flows of longshore current road 13 comes computing by the flow operational parts 27 in the gas instrument device 100.And the flow of the gas that calculates is fed to flux cumulating portion 30 to be added up.The flow that has been added up by flux cumulating portion 30 is fed to IC-card read-write equipment 200 by sending acceptance division 32.The signal of IC-card read-write equipment 200 sends acceptance division 209 and receives the flux cumulating value of sending here from gas instrument device 100, and this aggregate-value is fed to number of degrees reduction portion 211.Number of degrees reduction portion 211 cuts down the number of degrees that read by number of degrees reading part 210 based on this aggregate-value.
That is, number of degrees reduction portion 211 reduces number of degrees remaining sum according to the flow of the gas that has used.Repeat such action, the result, the number of degrees that read at number of degrees reading part 210 become 0 occasion, and number of degrees reduction portion 211 cuts off the signal of this connotation of detection unit 212 outputs to flow.Flow cuts off detection unit 212 and receives the signal that the number of degrees from number of degrees reduction portion 211 become 0 connotation, sends acceptance division 209 sends signal from the connotation of cutting off gas flow to gas instrument device 100 by signal again.The transmission acceptance division 32 of gas instrument device 100 receives the partition signal that expression cuts off the connotation of gas from IC-card read-write equipment 200, just sends this signal to driven for opening and closing portion 45.Driven for opening and closing portion 45 receives the partition signal and closes closed channel 13, cuts off gas flow.The user is cut off by confirming gas, the situation that gas apparatus has stopped, and the number of degrees of holding IC-card become 0 situation, insert new IC-card in IC-card read-write equipment 200.So just can utilize gas, thereby can prevent usurping of gas, can carry out the stable supplying of gas by the amount of the number of degrees that write in advance in the IC-card.
On the other hand, after gas was cut off, the user also can pry open valve, using gases wrongly by force sometimes.Such problem is the problem that especially can see in the gas supply system of the pre-paid system of having utilized IC-card one class prepaid card.
Under wrongful like this use, driven for opening and closing portion 45 closes after the closed channel, although the number of degrees do not upgrade, flow operational part 27 also can be calculated the flow of the gas of specified rate (not being zero).To this, flow operational part 27 sends the warning notice signal to display part 24 and/or hummer 36.At this moment, display part 24 shows the message of connotation that can not using gases, provides the connotation that this user stops using gas.Also have, replace display part 24, or with such action of display part 24, produce warning tones, provide the connotation that this user stops using gas as connotation that can not using gases by hummer 36.Just can suppress user's improper use by such action.
Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram of action of the gas fees pre-paid system of explanation air inclusion metering device 100 and IC-card read-write equipment 200.Here, the number of degrees that IC-card 300 is described become after zero, and valve 14 is opened (destroyed) wrongly, and after this new IC-card 300 has been loaded into the action under the situation of system.
At first, in given timing, number of degrees reading part 210 reads in the number of degrees (step S101) that write in the IC-card 300.As the example of given timing, when having the user in IC-card insertion section 213, to insert IC-card 300 or during the power connection of gas instrument device 100, IC-card read-write equipment 200.Also have, also can read in the number of degrees that write in the IC-card 300 by number of degrees reading part 210 by the given time interval.
The number of degrees information that signal transmission acceptance division 209 is sent here by transmission acceptance division 32 is received by driven for opening and closing portion 45, judges that these number of degrees are zero (step S102).At the number of degrees is not zero occasion (step S102; NO), the switching (step S103) of valve 14 is judged by driven for opening and closing portion 45.Be judged to be occasion (the step S103 that valve 14 has been opened; YES), driven for opening and closing portion 45 former states are kept the state of valve, turn back to step S101 once more, read number of degrees information.On the other hand, be judged to be occasion (the step S103 that valve 14 has been closed; NO), driven for opening and closing portion 45 opens valve 14 (step S104), turns back to step S101 once more, reads number of degrees information.
Being judged to be the number of degrees in step S104 is zero occasion (step S102; YES), the switching (step S105) of valve 14 is judged by switch drive portion 45.Be judged to be occasion (the step S105 that valve 14 has been opened; NO), driven for opening and closing portion 45 valve-offs 14 (step S106).In step S105, be judged to be occasion (the step S105 that valve 14 has been closed; YES), driven for opening and closing portion 45 former states are kept the state of valve.
And after valve 14 was closed, zero point, correcting section 40 was carried out the revisal at zero point (step S107) of instrumentation portion 15.Yet, although valve 14 has been closed, because the users' such as destruction of valve 14 improper use, instrumentation portion 15 detects the speed (not being zero) of a little gases, flow operational part 27 calculates the words (step S108) of the gas flow that is not zero, and flow operational part 27 just sends the warning notice signals to display part 24 and hummer 36.Then, display part 24 shows the message as connotation that can not using gases, and hummer 36 produces the warning tones (step S109) as connotation that can not using gases.At this, also can only make any one action in display part 24 and the hummer 36.
Although the warning notice in having received step S109, the user does not also stop the use of gas, and flow operational part 27 does not calculate occasion (the step S110 of gas flow=0; NO), display part 24, hummer 36 just continue warning.On the other hand, the warning notice in having received step S109, the user is by the use that grade stops gas that stops of gas utensil, and flow operational part 27 calculates occasion (the step S110 of gas flow=0; YES), just stop warning.
After this, (in the occasion of having destroyed valve, repairing after the valve) user buys the new IC-card 300 of having filled the number of degrees, with its words of in IC-card insertion section 213, inserting, the information of these number of degrees just sends acceptance division 209 by number of degrees reading part 210, control part 214, signal and is fed to gas instrument device 100, the transmission acceptance division 32 that received number of degrees information this number of degrees information that has received give zero point correcting section 40 (step S111).Received is not that the correcting section at zero point of zero the number of degrees 40 is carried out the revisal at zero point (step S112) of instrumentation portion 15 once more.After this, driven for opening and closing portion 45 opens valve 14 (step S104).Like this, gas flows on longshore current road 13 once more.After this continue the later control of execution in step S101 once more.
