Adopt the intelligent flow meter of huge Hall-effect magnetic
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of flowmeter, the intelligent flow meter of the huge Hall effect of especially a kind of employing (GHE, Giant HallEffect) magnetic sensor.
Background technology
Usually flow meter signal is gathered selected sensor, mainly is tongue tube, semiconductor Hall element and Wei Gen sensor.
As the sensor-based system that extracts signal, when magnet during near the tongue tube reed, to can overcome the elastic force of reed the time, reed is with regard to the adhesive short circuit greatly for magnetic force by magnet and tongue tube; When magnet away from reed, attractive force during less than elastic force reed just separately, i.e. pulse is sent.That tongue tube has is easy to use, cheap, characteristics such as simple are installed.But as contact switch, it has again, and pulse waveform is poor, maintainability is poor, easily shake the contact, be subject to inherent shortcomings such as external magnetic field and vibrations (as water hammer) interference.
The semiconductor hall sensor that is applied in the intelligent flow meter mainly is a low-power consumption Hall switch integrated component, this sensor utilizes Hall effect, the conversion of realization magnetoelectricity, thereby the rotation of intelligent flow random encounter amount element can be converted into the cyclical variation in magnetic field, thereby the variation in magnetic field be converted into the output of high and low level.It has sound construction, volume is little, the life-span is long, easy for installation, power consumption is little, vibration resistance, output waveform are clear, non-jitter, positional repeatability advantages of higher.But consumption reduction principle from Hall element, Hall element for the tens of microwatts of power consumption, its response frequency is generally 20Hz~30Hz, and intelligent flow meter, particularly the rotational frequency of the elementary measuring element of intellectual water meter is generally 30Hz, therefore the low-power consumption Hall element generally is applied to the flow signal acquisition of secondary measuring element, and this has limited the range of application of Hall element in the intellectual water meter field, simultaneously the manufacturing process more complicated of hall device.
The principle of work of Wei root sensor is, bi-stable function alloy material in the sensor is under the excitation of alternation external magnetic field, direction of magnetization moment overturns, and after external magnetic field is withdrawn, its moment returns to original direction of magnetization, in the magnetic test coil around the alloy material, understand signal induced electricity thus, thereby realize the magnetoelectricity conversion.The maximum characteristics of this sensor are need not use additional power source (zero-power), do not have mechanical contact, shockproof influence etc., are applicable to little power consumption instrument.Its shortcoming is that output amplitude is low, has only about 1V, and pulsewidth also has only 30 several microseconds.Be unfavorable for the signal is far passed, can only be used for closely gathering, handling.
Unusual Hall effect is a kind ofly long ago just to find, but since in the common metal material anomalous Hall effect less and do not cause enough attentions.Recent years, the unusual Hall effect of discovery in the magnetic metal multilayer film was than high several magnitude in the common metal owing to the research of magnetoresistance effect.Thereby copy giant magnetoresistance effect and be called huge Hall effect.Because it is highly sensitive that the huge Hall effect in the magnetoresistance effect has, high-temperature stability, low-resistivity, manufacture craft is simple, the characteristics that high frequency response is good.Thereby can be used as the magnetic field device in the intelligent flow meter and improve the combination property of flowmeter.
