Description

Metering indicating mechanism

The original application number of the divisional patent is 202121128673.7, application date: the utility model relates to a wet gas flowmeter with high measurement accuracy, which is invented on 25 days of 5 months in 2021.

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a metering instrument for measuring gas volume, in particular to a metering indicating mechanism.

Technical Field

The wet gas flowmeter is a volumetric gas flowmeter which completely isolates the gas inlet and outlet ends of a metering drum by sealing liquid and has the characteristics of no leakage and stable metering. High accuracy wet gas flow meters are required to have a measurement spread uncertainty of 0.5%, 0.2%, often used as a standard.

The wet gas flowmeter mainly comprises a rotatable drum wheel, the interior of the rotatable drum wheel is divided into 3-5 metering gas chambers by a helical blade, the drum wheel is supported in a sealing liquid with a certain liquid level height and rotates under the action of the pressure difference of gas entering and exiting, the metering chamber leaves the liquid level and is inflated, the gas enters the liquid level and is discharged, the exhaust gas is metered, and finally, the exhaust gas metering value is obtained through mechanical or electronic recording rotation; because the gas inlet and outlet ends of the metering drum are completely isolated by the sealing liquid, the metering drum has the characteristics of no leakage and stable metering, has the measurement expansion uncertainty of 0.5 percent and 0.2 percent, and is often used as a standard device.

Because the structure design of the wet gas flowmeter in the industry is unreasonable, when the gas flow tested by the wet gas flowmeter is increased, the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the metering chamber is increased, the liquid level difference of the sealing liquid is increased, the volume of the metering chamber is increased, the indicating value error has obvious deviation, and the indicating value error in the actual testing process is generally in a larger range of +/-1% -1.5%.

In addition, when the same flow is continuously measured for multiple times under the same environment and working conditions, the measured error is a random error, and the random error is mainly influenced by the stability of the rotation process of the metering drum wheel, so that the rotation stability of the support bearing of the metering drum wheel must be well ensured in the measurement process to improve the measurement repeatability. However, due to the requirement for lightening the flowmeter, the manufacturing of the shell welding assembly component adopts a thin-wall metal material welding forming process, and the position precision of a supporting bearing mounting hole for supporting a core shaft of the metering drum is difficult to guarantee in the welding process, so that the stability of the rotating process of the metering drum is influenced.

In the existing wet gas flowmeter, oil seals are used between a shaft for supporting a metering drum and a mounting hole for supporting a bearing for sealing treatment, but the oil seals belong to wearing parts and are easy to wear and lose efficacy, so that the hidden danger of leakage of sealing liquid exists; meanwhile, when the oil seal is worn out, the friction force is increased, which affects the rotation stability of the metering drum and causes the poor metering precision.

In summary, the accuracy of the conventional wet gas flowmeter is easily affected in the actual use process, and therefore, a highly accurate wet gas flowmeter with good repeatability is urgently needed.

The metering drum wheel rotating mechanism (3) is used as a gas medium volume metering functional component and is installed and connected in the sealed cavity of the shell sealed supporting component (2) through a universal bearing. The metering indicating value indicating mechanism (1) is a functional component for outputting and displaying a metering value and is fixedly arranged outside a sealing cavity of the shell sealing and supporting component (2). The three modular components under the structure are connected and combined by bolts, so that a simple tool can be used for realizing rapid state switching, maintenance and replacement among serial products, and the batch standardized production of the modular components can also be realized.

The structure layout of the rear exhaust mode of the wet gas flowmeter with high measurement accuracy is shown in fig. 2: the device adopts a rear exhaust structure layout mode, the mechanism layout is formed by combining two module components of a shell sealing support assembly (2) and a metering drum rotating mechanism (3) in a figure 1, and the rear exhaust structure is divided into an air inlet interface (4), a front cabin (5), a sealing shell (6), a metering chamber (7), a metering drum (8), an air collection chamber (9), an output air pipe (10), a sealing liquid level (11) and an air outlet interface (12) according to the principle. The metering drum (8) is supported by a bearing in the housing seal support assembly (2) as a freely rotatable member. The inner cavity and the outer cavity of the metering drum (8) are divided into a front chamber (5), a metering chamber (7) and a gas collecting chamber (9) by a sealing liquid level (11) in the cavity, wherein the front chamber, the metering chamber and the gas collecting chamber are directly related to gas metering and alternately circulate in the rotating process. The flowmeter with the structural layout mode works in a gas flowing state that the inlet pressure is higher than the outlet pressure, gas enters the front chamber (5) from the inlet interface (4) under the action of pressure, pressure difference is formed inside and outside side blades of the metering chamber (7) of the metering drum (8), the metering drum (8) is pushed to rotate under the action of pressure, then gas enters the metering chamber (7) in the mutual alternate circulation process of the chambers inside the metering drum (8), and is discharged to the gas collection chamber (9) after the metering chamber (7) is gradually filled with the gas, and finally the gas is discharged out of the flowmeter through the outlet gas pipe (10) and the outlet interface (12) at the rear end of the flowmeter.
