Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en måleværdigivér til bestemmelse af gennemstrømningsmængden af en gennem et rørsystem strømmende væske ved måling af løbetiderne af ultralyd i væsken langs en af væsken gennemstrømmet målestræk-5 ning, ifølge krav 1's indledning.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a measuring value sensor for determining the flow rate of a fluid flowing through a pipe system by measuring the running times of ultrasonic fluid in a liquid along a measurement line flowed by the liquid, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Til bestemmelse af gennemstrømningsmængden af en væske gennem et rørsystem er det kendt (tysk fremlæggelsesskrift 29 24 561) at sende ultralydimpulser gennem en strømmende væske for ud fra impulsernes løbetid at kunne slutte 10 sig til middelstrømningshastigheden af væsken. En måling af impulsernes løbetider langs et af væsken gennemstrømmet rørstykke har her vist sig mest hensigtsmæssigt. Ved denne kendte anordning vender de ind i målerørets ydre rum udstrålede ultralydimpulser tilbage som ekkosignaler. Derved bliver 15 nyttesignalerne forstyrret, hvilket medfører en fejlbehæftet måling af gennemstrømningsmængden. Ved hvilende strømningsmiddel bliver en gennemstrømning da foregøglet, når ekkosig-nalerne og nyttesignalerne ikke indbyrdes ophæver hinanden.To determine the flow rate of a liquid through a piping system, it is known (German Patent Specification 29 24 561) to transmit ultrasonic pulses through a flowing fluid in order to join the mean flow rate of the fluid based on the duration of the pulses. A measurement of the impulse durations along a pipe flowing through the liquid has proved most convenient here. With this known device, the ultrasonic pulses emitted into the outer space of the measuring tube return as echo signals. As a result, the 15 utility signals are disturbed, resulting in a faulty measurement of the flow rate. In the case of dormant flow means, a flow is then pre-merged when the echo signals and the utility signals do not cancel each other out.
Derudover er det kendt (tysk fremlæggelsesskrift 20 27 30 770) at anbringe et akustisk filter i udsugningskana len i en forbrændingsmotor foran en ultralydmåleanordning, som tjener til måling af indsugningsluftens strømningshastighed. Dette akustiske filter undertrykker i så vid udstrækning som muligt ultralydkomponenter frembragt udenfor anord-25 ningen. Det er desuden også kendt at anbringe et yderligere akustisk filter til absorption af sådanne forstyrrende ultralydkomponenter, som frembringes inden i forbrændingsmaskinen. Begge akustiske filtre tjener derfor til "afskærmning” af måletransducerne overfor udefra på disse indfaldende støj-30 komponenter. Endelig er det ved ultralydluftgennemstrøm- ningsmålere i indsugningsledningen til forbrændingsmotorer også kendt at forsyne de elementer, som luften stryger forbi, henholdsvis som den rammer, med de mindst mulige bestrygningsflader og eksempelvis at afskrå dem, hvorved hvirvel-35 dannelsen af gasstrømningen formindskes. Disse anordninger har imidlertid intet at gøre med undgåelsen af ekkosignaler, som er initieret af selve måletransducerne.In addition, it is known (German presentation specification 20 27 30 770) to place an acoustic filter in the exhaust duct in an internal combustion engine in front of an ultrasonic measuring device which serves to measure the flow rate of the suction air. This acoustic filter suppresses as far as possible ultrasonic components generated outside the device. In addition, it is also known to apply an additional acoustic filter to absorb such disturbing ultrasonic components produced within the combustion engine. Therefore, both acoustic filters serve to "shield" the target transducers from the outside on these incident noise components. Finally, ultrasonic air flow meters in the internal combustion engine suction line are also known to supply the elements with which the air flies, respectively, as it strikes. the least possible coating surfaces and, for example, to cut them off, thereby reducing the vortex generation of the gas flow, but these devices have nothing to do with the avoidance of echo signals initiated by the target transducers themselves.

bedre en måleværdigiver af den angivne art i den henseende, at forstyrrende ekkosignaler bliver således undertrykt, at der ikke opstår nogen målefejl.better a measuring value transmitter of the kind specified in the sense that interfering echo signals are suppressed so that no measurement error occurs.
Ifølge opfindelsen opnås dette ved at udforme måle-5 værdigiveren som angivet i krav 1's kendetegnende del.According to the invention, this is achieved by designing the measuring value sensor as set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Den simple til undertrykkelse af ekkosignalerne tjenende anordning absorberer, spreder og/eller reflekterer de ind i det ydre rum af målerøret udstrålede ultralydsignaler, så at måletransduceren under modtagefasen ikke optalo ger forstyrrende ekkosignaler.The simple device for suppressing the echo signals absorbs, spreads and / or reflects the ultrasound signals emitted into the outer space of the measuring tube so that the target transducer does not detect interfering echo signals during the receive phase.
Opfindelsen skal herefter forklares nærmere under i henvisning til tegningen, hvor fig. 1 viser en udførelsesform for en måleværdigiver ifølge opfindelsen vist i snit og 15 fig. 2 og 3 yderligere udførelsesformer ifølge op findelsen i delsnit.The invention will now be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a measuring value sensor according to the invention shown in section and FIG. 2 and 3 further embodiments according to the invention in partial sections.
Målestrækningen i måleværdigiveren består af to tilslutningshoveder 1 og 2 med to storrumsfordelingskamre 3 og 4, der danner blokformige hullegemer, hvilke forde-2o. lingskamre har op til hinanden liggende skillevægge 5 og 6, der forbinder de to fordelingskamre 3 og 4 fast med hinanden. Et målerør 7 strækker sig gennem skillevæggen 5 og 6 og ligger med enderne henholdsvis 8 og 9 så langt inde i det indre af fordelerkamrene 3,4, at disse på alle sider 25 omslutter enderne 8 og 9 af målerøret 7 i det mindste over en længde, som er større end den indvendige diameter af målerøret 7.The measuring distance in the measuring transducer consists of two connection heads 1 and 2 with two large space distribution chambers 3 and 4, which form block-shaped hollow bodies, which spread-2o. interlacing chambers have adjacent dividers 5 and 6 which connect the two distribution chambers 3 and 4 firmly to each other. A measuring tube 7 extends through the partitions 5 and 6 and lies with the ends 8 and 9, respectively, so far within the interior of the distributor chambers 3,4 that on all sides 25 the ends 8 and 9 of the measuring tube 7 are at least over a length. which is larger than the inner diameter of the measuring tube 7.
Det første tilslutningshoved 1 har en tilslutnings-nippel 10 for et med en pil betegnet tilløb 11 af væsken 3o ind i fordelerkammeret 3, og det andet tilslutningshoved 2 har en yderligere tilslutningsnippel 12 for et ligeledes ved hjælp af en pil betegnet afløb 13 for væsken fra fordelerkammeret 4. De anførte tilslutningsnipler 10 og 12 ligger fordelagtigt i en fælles akse med en endefladeafstand 35 A, der svarer til en normalafstand for indbygningen af vandmålere i vandledningen.The first connection head 1 has a connection nipple 10 for an arrow 11 designated the liquid 11 of the liquid 3o into the distributor chamber 3, and the second connection head 2 has a further connection nipple 12 for a drain 13 for the liquid also indicated by an arrow. The distribution chamber 4. The indicated connection nipples 10 and 12 are advantageously located in a common axis with an end surface distance 35 A which corresponds to a normal distance for the incorporation of water meters in the water line.
Væsken, som skal måles, strømmer fra tilløbet 11 gennem det første fordelerkammer 3, trænger ved den ene en- 3The liquid to be measured flows from the inlet 11 through the first distributor chamber 3, penetrating one end 3.

• deflade af enden 8 ind i målerøret 7, forlader dette ved’ dets anden ende 9, strømmer gennem det andet fordelerkammer 4 og kommer til afløbet 13. Aksen i målerøret 7 står vinkelret på centrene af overføringsfladerne 14 og 15 af 5 hver sin måletransducer 16,17. De direkte for den strømmende væske udsatte overføringsflader 14,15 på måletransducerne 16,17 har hver en afstand E fra endefladen af enderne 8,9 på målerøret 7. Afstandene E er valgt således, at der for gennemstrømningen af væsken på den ene side fås lo to gennemstrømningstværsnit, der er så stor som muligt ved endefladerne af målerøret 7, og på den anden side er det for nøjagtigheden af målingen af løbetider ønskeligt at holde afstandene E så små som muligt. Gode resultater foreligger, når afstandene E tilnærmelsesvis udgør halvdelen 15 af den indvendige diameter af målerøret 7.Deflate the end 8 into the measuring tube 7, leaving it at its other end 9, flowing through the second distributor chamber 4 and reaching the drain 13. The axis of the measuring tube 7 is perpendicular to the centers of the transfer surfaces 14 and 15 of 5 each measuring transducer 16 , 17th The transfer surfaces 14,15 directly exposed to the flowing liquid on the measuring transducers 16,17 each have a distance E from the end surface of the ends 8,9 on the measuring tube 7. The distances E are chosen so that the flow of the liquid on one side is obtained two flow cross-sections which are as large as possible at the end faces of the measuring tube 7 and, on the other hand, for the accuracy of the measurement of maturities, it is desirable to keep the distances E as small as possible. Good results are obtained when the distances E are approximately half of the inner diameter of the measuring tube 7.
Endefladerne af ender 8 og 9 af målerøret 7 er af-skrået udad eller bearbejdet runde.The end faces of ends 8 and 9 of the measuring tube 7 are beveled out or machined round.
Måleværdigiveren er til undertrykkelse af de forstyrrende ekkosignaler forsynet med en anordning 18, som 2o består af to symmetrisk, i forhold til skillevæggene 5,6 af de to fordelerkamre 3,4 på målerøret 7 anbragte manchetter 19,20, der er fremstillet af ultralydabsorberende materiale. De har vinkelret på væskens gennemstrømnings-retning i målerøret 7 forløbende overflader 21,22. Disse 25 overflader 21,22 kan også udformes ru for de pågældende ultralydsignaler og følgelig bevirke en diffus refleksion.The measuring value sensor is provided for suppressing the interfering echo signals with a device 18 consisting of two symmetrically, relative to the partitions 5,6 of the two distributor chambers 3,4 on the measuring tube 7, cuffs 19,20 made of ultrasonic absorbent material. . They have perpendicular surfaces 21,22 perpendicular to the flow direction of the liquid in the measuring tube 7. These surfaces 21, 22 can also be rough for the ultrasound signals concerned and consequently cause a diffuse reflection.
Manchetterne 19,20 kan imidlertid være glatte og bestå af ultralydreflekterende materiale, hvorhos deres overflader 21,22 skal forløbe således i forhold til væ-3o skens gennemstrømningsretning i målerøret, at de reflekterede ekkosignaler ikke forårsager nogen fejl under modtagefasen i måletransducerne 16 og 17. Sådanne udførelser er vist i fig. 2 og 3. Den i forhold til ultralydsignalernes løberetning på de mod måletransducerne 16,17 vendende si-35 der af manchetterne 19,21 skråt forløbende overflader 21, 22 har ifølge fig. 2 en i forhold til målerøret 7's akse symmetrisk og ifølge fig. 3 en i forhold til denne akse usymmetrisk anbringelse.However, the cuffs 19,20 may be smooth and consist of ultrasonic reflective material whose surfaces 21, 22 should extend so as to the flow direction of the liquid in the measuring tube so that the reflected echo signals cause no error during the receive phase of the measuring transducers 16 and 17. Such embodiments are shown in FIG. 2 and 3. The direction of travel of the ultrasound signals on the sides 35 of the sleeves 19, 21 facing the target transducers 16,17 has inclined surfaces 21, 22, according to FIG. 2 is a symmetrical relation to the axis of the measuring tube 7 and according to FIG. 3 is an asymmetrical arrangement relative to this axis.

Anordningen 18 til undertrykkelse af de forstyrrende ekkosignaler kan også have en anden form. De skal i hvert fald svække signalerne, som udbreder sig udenfor målerøret 7, således at der ikke opstår nogen målefejl.The device 18 for suppressing the interfering echo signals may also have a different form. They must at least attenuate the signals which propagate outside the measuring tube 7 so that no measurement error occurs.
