Abstract

La presente invención tiene por objeto un caudal�metro térmico para fluidos de inserción de bajo coste, compuesto por un cuerpo sensor que incluye un elemento calefactor y varios sensores de medida y por un cuerpo con un método de medida que combina la medida por tiempo de vuelo (TOF) y la medida de la distribución de temperatura en un elemento caliente (medidor calorimétrico), lo que le permite operar en un rango distinto al habitual en este tipo de sensores (mayor de 500 ml/min) y con un error reducido debido al método de la redundancia de medida y a la disminución del error de medida por compensación de la temperatura del fluido.The present invention aims at a thermal flowmeter for low-cost insertion fluids, consisting of a sensor body that includes a heating element and several measurement sensors and a body with a measurement method that combines the measurement by time of flight (TOF) and the measurement of the temperature distribution in a hot element (calorimetric meter), which allows it to operate in a different range than usual in this type of sensors (greater than 500 ml / min) and with a reduced error due to the measurement redundancy method and the decrease of the measurement error by compensation of the fluid temperature.

2. Declaración motivada según los artículos 29.6 y 29.7 del Reglamento de ejecución de la Ley 11/1986, de 20 de marzo, de Patentes sobre la novedad y la actividad inventiva; citas y explicaciones en apoyo de esta declaración  2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement Reivindicaci�n 1: Claim 1: Se considera el documento D01 como estado de la técnica más cercano al objeto de la invención (entre paréntesis las referencias al documento citado). Dicho documento divulga un caudal�metro térmico para líquidos que comprende un bloque sensor formado por dos sensores de temperatura y un calefactor situado entre ellos (D01: fig.1 (4), (5) (6)); y un cuerpo de medida para el control, la adquisición y procesamiento de las señales procedentes del bloque sensor (D01: fig. 2 (17)). Se diferencia en que no divulga el elemento formado por la tubería y los platos de fijación y que no dispone aguas abajo de dos sensores de temperatura más. La primera diferencia se encuentra divulgada en el documento D02 (D02: fig.6, columna 4, líneas 26-43). En cuanto a la segunda diferencia, el efecto técnico que se consigue es poder realizar combinaciones de las señales para disminuir el error en la medida. El problema técnico a resolver es cómo mejorar la precisión y la repetibilidad de las medidas. Sin embargo, no se ha encontrado en el estado de la técnica ningún documento en el que se divulgue el uso de tres sensores de temperatura situados aguas abajo para dicho fin. Por lo tanto, la primera reivindicación presentaría novedad y actividad inventiva según los artículos 6.1 y 8.1 de la ley de patentes 11/1986. Document D01 is considered as the state of the art closest to the object of the invention (in brackets the references to the cited document). Said document discloses a thermal flowmeter for liquids comprising a sensor block formed by two temperature sensors and a heater located between them (D01: fig. 1 (4), (5) (6)); and a measuring body for the control, acquisition and processing of signals from the sensor block (D01: fig. 2 (17)). It differs in that it does not disclose the element formed by the pipe and fixing plates and does not have two more temperature sensors downstream. The first difference is disclosed in document D02 (D02: fig. 6, column 4, lines 26-43). As for the second difference, the technical effect that is achieved is to be able to make combinations of the signals to reduce the error in the measurement. The technical problem to solve is how to improve the accuracy and repeatability of the measurements. However, no document has been found in the state of the art in which the use of three temperature sensors located downstream for that purpose is disclosed. Therefore, the first claim would present novelty and inventive activity according to articles 6.1 and 8.1 of patent law 11/1986. Reivindicaciones dependientes 2-3: Dependent claims 2-3: Las reivindicaciones 2-3 son dependientes de la reivindicación 1 y como ella, también cumplirían los requisitos de la ley de patentes 11/1986 con respecto a la novedad y actividad inventiva. No obstante, las características técnicas de las reivindicaciones dependientes se encuentran divulgadas en los documentos D01 (figura 1, figura 3, columna 3 líneas 14-25), D03 (párrafo [0009] y, D04 (figura 1). Claims 2-3 are dependent on claim 1 and like it, they would also meet the requirements of patent law 11/1986 with respect to novelty and inventive activity. However, the technical characteristics of the dependent claims are disclosed in documents D01 (figure 1, figure 3, column 3 lines 14-25), D03 (paragraph [0009] and, D04 (figure 1).
