A kind of ultrasound wave vortex shedding flow meter
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of industrial fluids flow measurement device, relates in particular to the high precision of the ultralow flow rate of gas flow of a kind of energy measurement, highly sensitive ultrasound wave vortex shedding flow meter.
Background technology
For the industrial gasses flow measurement, especially for example flow measurement of hydrogen, acetylene or the like of some explosive, inflammable high energy gas, because safety factor limits these gases and often can not improve flow velocity by supercharging, therefore need accurately to measure the measurement mechanism of the gas flow under the very slow operating mode of this flow velocity.The generation of ultrasonic vortex shedding flow meter flow signal utilizes ultrasound wave to detect the frequency that vortex takes place in fluid based on the principle of Karman vortex street.Ultrasonic vortex shedding flow meter is a kind of of velocity flowmeter, is mainly used in the measurement of ultralow gas flow rate aspect.
Chinese patent ZL02242807.0 discloses the whole plug-in type vortex shedding flow meter of a kind of vortex street sounding body, its structure is to connect the vortex street detection bodies in the supporting linkage lower end, the connecting link upper end passes support from the pipeline that is provided with ball valve and seal assembly and connects the gauge outfit body, wears lead in the supporting linkage and connects gauge outfit body and detection bodies.Its shortcoming is a no affixed point between connecting link lower end and tested pipeline, and therefore, under the percussive action of fluid, connecting link lower end vortex street detection bodies tends to do slight swing.And directly with connecting link lower end and tested pipeline affixed after, cause trouble can for again the maintenance that continues to flow.
Chinese patent ZL20082007128.8 discloses the ultrasonic vortex shedding flow meter of the strong new plug-in of a kind of antijamming capability, to improve measuring accuracy.Its structure is to connect the vortex street detection bodies in the supporting linkage lower end, and the supporting linkage upper end is passed pedestal and connect the indicator gauge body, connects the indicator gauge body on the lead of cross-under in the supporting linkage, connects the vortex street detection bodies down.The vortex street detection bodies is made up of stream tube entire body, vortex shedder and ultrasonic transmitter and ultrasonic receiver, vortex shedder is the trapezoidal column structure, radially be welded in the channel flow entire body, ultrasonic transmitter and ultrasonic receiver are installed in the flow body sidewall that the body downstream takes place.The pipe under test center that during use the whole insertion of vortex street detection bodies is complementary.When fluid flows through, the downstream that body takes place in circulation duct produces eddy current, be positioned at ultrasonic transmitter that the fluid sidewall installs, signal that ultrasonic receiver is gathered only limit to take place body ultrasonic whirlpool signal, thereby got rid of that direct current fluid exerts an influence to the whirlpool signal and the measuring error brought, and then improved the accuracy of detection of flowmeter.
Its shortcoming is that sampling is limited in the small range because the vortex street detection bodies is positioned at the center of tested pipeline.Though improved accuracy of detection, reduced the sensitivity that detects, under the low flow velocity operating mode of gas, almost can't detect.Because the molecule of general gas is all very little, the gap is relatively large between the molecule, and the eddy current that produces during by this vortex street detection bodies under low flow velocity, ultralow flow condition is less, though have the gas stream mistake this moment, sonac can't be experienced.
