Description

Gas flow sensor

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of gas flow sensor.

Background technology

Gas meter is the device of measurement gas flow, and its critical component is a sensor.General gas meter can be divided into four kinds of vane type, toll bar Scroll-tupe, hot-wire and hot diaphragm types basically.The sensor of this gas meter of four types, its common drawback is complex structure, cost height, and the pressure loss is big, and sensitivity is low, measuring accuracy is poor.It as the patent No. 92204506.2 gas meter, in the disclosed technical scheme, its Sensor section is included in to be provided with in the passage of gas by the gas that flows and promotes rotation and have the impeller of big and small blade, be fixed with the permanent-magnet steel body on the impeller, on the circumference corresponding, be fixed with electromagnetic sensor with impeller, when the gas that flows promotes the impeller rotation, the permanent-magnet steel body that is fixed on the impeller also rotates thereupon, the permanent-magnet steel body is every through electromagnetic sensor once, the duty of electromagnetic sensor just takes place once to change, and produces electric signal output.The sensor of the described gas meter of this patent, owing in the passage of gas, be provided with impeller and the big and small blade that hinders gas flow, thereby the pressure loss of tested gas is big, complex structure.The patent No. is 97220720.1 displacement-type gas flow sensor, comprise upper chamber and lower chamber, upper chamber and lower chamber are separated by by rubber diaphragm movably, upper chamber is communicated with air intake opening, lower chamber is communicated with the gas outlet, when air intake opening and gas outlet produce pressure reduction, when flow in the gas outlet, rubber diaphragm produces displacement to gas under the promotion of this pressure reduction from air intake opening, thereby make the photoelectric reflection plate that links to each other with rubber diaphragm produce displacement accordingly, this displacement makes photoelectrical coupler export corresponding electric signal.The described displacement-type gas flow sensor of this patent have baroque drawback equally, and sensitivity is low, and measuring accuracy is poor.

Summary of the invention

The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of simple in structure, the pressure loss is little and measuring accuracy is high gas flow sensor.

In order to realize above-mentioned purpose, this gas flow sensor, comprise shell in a tubular form, its design feature is the inner casing that is plugged with in the inner chamber of this shell in a tubular form, in the inner chamber of this inner casing, be plugged with inner membrance in a tubular form, inner casing is provided with vibration cavity and the biography that is communicated with vibration cavity is shaken passage, wherein vibration cavity is along the inner headed face setting of inner casing, on inner casing, be equipped with the shake reaction diaphragm of carrier frequency channel break of biography, be connected to metal column on the reaction diaphragm.

Working environment, the flow range of gas and the accuracy requirement of measurement according to the gas meter of adapted, the quantity of above-mentioned vibration cavity is 1 or 2-3, because the pressure of tested gas, the isoparametric variation of temperature meeting produce different influences to the work of difform vibration cavity, in order to eliminate deviation, improve measuring accuracy, vibration cavity can be annular, semi-circular or circular arc, by the variation of the corresponding relation that vibrates between the different vibration cavity, get rid of the influence that other parameter beyond the flow changes.

According to the working environment of the gas meter of adapted and the accuracy requirement of measurement, above-mentioned reaction diaphragm comprises rheostat diaphragm, piezoelectric type diaphragm and condenser type diaphragm.

For the ease of making and installing, the reaction diaphragm potting passes the passage that shakes and extends in the shell on the periphery of inner casing.

During use, gas flow sensor of the present utility model is serially connected in flange in the pipeline of tested gas, metal column is connected with the signal input part of gas meter by lead.

The principle of work of gas flow sensor of the present utility model is: when measured gas flows through from the inner membrance of tubulose, endocardial wall can produce vibration, particularly be positioned at the position of vibration cavity, its vibration is more obvious, this vibration enters through vibration cavity and passes the passage that shakes, make the generation vibration of reaction diaphragm correspondence, type according to selected reaction diaphragm, the sense film sector-meeting is transformed into electric signal with this vibration, be delivered to gas meter through metal column and lead, material when each parts of sensor, after size and dimension is determined, the frequency of its vibration, parameter such as waveform and amplitude just constitutes corresponding relation with the flow velocity of gas, and the frequency of vibration, the isoparametric change of waveform and amplitude, can on reaction diaphragm, produce corresponding electric signal, this electric signal is input to the cpu chip of gas meter, carries out data processing, can obtain the gas flow in certain period by cpu chip.

Gas flow sensor described in the utility model, its beneficial effect is: 1, only used shell, inner casing, inner membrance and reaction diaphragm, geometric configuration is standard again, thereby structure is simple especially, and cost is low; 2, the barrier barrier gas of no impeller blade one class flows in the inner chamber of inner membrance, and the pressure loss of tested gas is little; 3, the heat conduction time that does not need heat conduction formula sensor, reaction diaphragm is fast to the variation response speed of vibration, the induction sensitivity height; 4, because discernible parameter is many, cpu chip can in time be proofreaied and correct according to the comprehensive parameters of gas in the gas meter, thereby the measuring accuracy height.
