Definitions

• the invention relates to a transducer for electromagnetic flowmeters, consisting of a measuring tube arranged in a steel housing and equipped with measuring electrodes. On the diametrically opposite two magnet coils are arranged, each of which is provided with a bolt-like coil core, which has a flange-like widened foot against the measuring tube rests, is attached with its head end to the steel housing and has a winding spool made of a dielectric material.
• the winding coil previously wound with the coil wire is attached to the bolt-like coil core.
• a cover part is placed on the head end of the coil core with the interposition of a filler disc, which is fixed by means of a snap ring engaging in an annular groove of the steel housing; this attachment with the help of several components is cumbersome, expensive and for a tape Robot assembly unsuitable.
• the invention is based on the object of designing a sensor of the generic type in such a way that, with a simple structure, particularly simple assembly is made possible, which, if necessary, is also suitable for use with robots.
• a flange is attached to the head end of the coil core and the winding coil consists of two half-shell-shaped coil parts lying around the coil core, on which the coil wire is wound.
• the prefabricated magnet coils can be attached to the steel housing by welding or the like. Since the winding spool can no longer be axially plugged onto the spool core as a result of this design of the spool core, a longitudinal division of the winding spool is provided which allows the two half-shell-shaped spool parts to rest radially. The coil wire is wound on the winding coil previously placed around the coil core. The flange connection and its direct contact with the steel housing create a particularly good conclusion between the two solenoids.
• the flange of the coil core consists of two integrally formed, diametrically opposite arms, the outer end of which is provided with a leg abutting against the steel housing.
• the legs allow good contact with the housing and good welding.
• Coil parts with partially overlapping end flanges be provided, or the like by snap bolts. lock.
• a high packing density of the coils can be achieved in that the jacket of the winding coil is provided with guide grooves for the coil wire.
• the device constant is improved by the exact guidance of the coil wire.
• Two wire clamps for the ends of the coil wire are expediently molded onto an end flange of the winding spool, which is preferably injection-molded from plastic, so that the wire ends can be precisely fixed.
• FIG. 4 shows the subject of FIG. 3 in a view along line II - II
• FIG. 5 is a side view of a winding spool
• FIG. 6 shows the subject of FIG. 5 in a cross section along line III-III
• FIG. 7 shows the subject of FIG. 6 in a cross section along line IV-IV and
• FIG. 8 shows the subject of FIG. 6 in a cross section along line V - V.
• 1 and 2 consists essentially of a steel housing 1 with a bore 2 for a measuring tube 3, which is provided with two diametrically opposed measuring electrodes 5 and offset by 90 ° with two diametrically opposed magnetic coils 6 is.
• the measuring tube 3, preferably made of densely sintered ceramic material and through which the medium flows, is fastened in the bore 2 by means of end flanges 4 by shrinking or gluing.
• the steel housing 1 also serves for magnetic yoke, the coil cores 7 of the two magnetic coils 6 being conductively connected to the steel housing 1.
• the steel housing 1 is provided with two cylindrical pipe connections 8, 9 lying radially to the flow axis.
• the coil core 7 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 on a larger scale than in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided with a flange-like, saddle-shaped foot 10 and at its head end 11 with a flange which consists of there are two integrally formed, diametrically opposite arms 12, at the outer end of which one leg 13 abutting against the steel housing 1 is provided.
• the coil core 7 forms a one-piece component with the foot 10, the arms 12 and the legs 13 and can, for example, consist of one casting.
• the magnet coil 6 associated with it can be made of a dielectric material, for.
• plastic existing winding spool 14 do not attach axially, but consists of two half Shell-shaped coil parts 15, 16, which can be placed around the coil core and onto which the coil wire 17 is wound. To fasten the two coil parts 15, 16 to the coil core 7, these are provided with partially overlapping end flanges 18, 19, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8.
• Shaped tongues 20, 21 are used for the overlap, which are connected by snap locks 22 or the like, which in the embodiment are formed by molded barbs 23 and molded recesses 24, which are alternately arranged on tongues 20, 21 and at Push the two coil parts 15, 16 against one another, lock them against one another by snapping them in, so that the coil parts 15, 16 are also firmly seated on the coil core 7.
• the jacket 25 of the winding coil 14 is provided with guide grooves 26.
• two wire clamps 27, which are provided with wedge-shaped clamping slots 28, are formed on an end flange 18 or 19 of the winding coil.
• the prefabricated magnetic coils 6 are inserted into the pipe sockets 8 and 9.
• a support shoulder 29 is provided in each pipe socket 8, 9, against which the arms 12 of the coil core 7 abut.
• the magnetic coils 6 are fastened by welding the legs 13 associated with the arms 12 to the pipe socket 8, 9, which are provided with welding shoulders 30 for this purpose.
