産業上の利用分野
本発明は、気体流量の測定に用いる膜流漬汁に関し、特
に、膜の通過を電気的に自動検出して測定精度を上げる
ものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a membrane dipping liquid used for measuring gas flow rate, and in particular, to automatically detect passage through a membrane electrically to improve measurement accuracy.
延未へ衷粧
従来、気体流mの測定にはオリフィス等の絞り流量計、
ロータメータ等の面積流量計および容積t&電量計用い
られている。これらの流量計は測定部における圧力損失
が大きく、この測定部における圧力損失が測定対象とし
ている装置の特性に影響を与える場合は利用することが
出来ない。Traditionally, gas flow m has been measured using a restrictor flowmeter such as an orifice,
Area flowmeters such as rotameters and volumetric t & coulometers are used. These flowmeters have a large pressure loss in the measuring section, and cannot be used if the pressure loss in the measuring section affects the characteristics of the device being measured.
測定部における圧力損失が小さいものとして、膜流量計
が提供されている。該膜流量計は、気体流通管に石鹸水
等で生成した膜を付着し、該膜が管内へ流入される気体
に同伴して移動することにより、膜が2つの測定点を通

。Membrane flowmeters are provided as devices with low pressure loss in the measurement section. This membrane flow meter attaches a film made of soapy water or the like to a gas flow pipe, and the film moves along with the gas flowing into the pipe, thereby measuring the time it takes for the film to pass two measurement points. By measuring, the flow rate is measured.
上記した膜流量計は圧力損失が小さい利点を有するが、
測定点での膜通過の測定が自動化されていないため測定
精度に問題があった。即ち、従来、2つの測定点の通過

となっているため、膜の上端部と下端部とで通過点の通
過時間に差異があり、目視による場合には膜の通過時の
判断にバラツキが生じやすい等の問題がある。The membrane flowmeter described above has the advantage of low pressure loss, but
There was a problem with measurement accuracy because the measurement of membrane passage at the measurement point was not automated. That is, conventionally, the passing of two measurement points is determined visually by a person, and the passing time is measured using a stopwatch or the like, so errors due to visual observation and errors when operating the stopwatch occur. For example, if the flow rate is fast, a small difference in the timing of pressing the stopwatch will result in a large error, and since the membrane has a convex shape due to surface tension, the passage time between the upper and lower ends of the membrane will be different. There is a difference in the amount of water, and when visually inspected, there are problems such as variations in judgment when passing through the membrane.
また、従来は膜の生成、該膜の管への付着も手動で行っ
ているため、手数がかかるという問題があった。Furthermore, in the past, the production of the membrane and the attachment of the membrane to the tube were performed manually, which caused the problem that it was time-consuming.

The aim is to improve measurement accuracy.
さらに、膜の生成、該膜の気体流通管への付着も自動化

At that time, when the ring 5 rises, a film 9 is generated in the ring 5 when it comes out of the soap solution 4 into the air, and when the ring 5 is fitted onto the circular tube 3, the film 9 is formed on the inner surface of the opening 3a. 9 is attached.

A pair of upper and lower electrode needles 12 and 13 are attached to the probe unit body 11 so as to protrude into the measurement hole 3b, and when these pair of electrode needles 12 and 13 come into contact with the soap solution 4, they conduct and generate an electrical signal.

However, the tip 12c of the bent portion 12b is made to protrude inward from the inner surface of the circular tube 3 by about 2 mm. The electrode needle 12 is made of a conductive material such as platinum, sass, or inconel, and has a conductive material of approximately 0.
, is formed to a thickness of about 1 am, and the bending part tip 1
The entire surface except for the tip 2c is coated with an insulating material, and the tip 12c, which is several microns in size, is set to become conductive only when it comes into contact with the film 9 of the soap solution 4.

pは点電極プローブIOAと1013間の距離である。The membrane 9 attached to the opening 3a is pushed by the air and rises inside the circular tube 3 as the air rises. When the membrane 9 moves up inside the circular tube 3, first, the upstream point electrode probe IOA installed at the lower position detects the passage, and then the downstream point electrode probe IOB installed at the upper position detects the passage of the membrane 9. To detect. This detection result is inputted to the computer 15 as an electric signal, the time t required for the membrane 9 to pass between the two points is pole probes 1°A and 103 is counted by a counter, and the air flow rate Q is calculated by an arithmetic circuit as follows. It is calculated by the formula. However, as mentioned above, D is the inner diameter of the circular tube 3, I2

73±24μsであった。The detection signal obtained from 10B is as shown in FIG. 4 (AXB), and (A) and CB) are shown on different time axes. As shown in (A), the output signal when passing through the membrane has a sharp rising edge and has an output greater than the noise level, and is therefore easily detectable. Further, (B) shows the calculation of the rise time constant tp of the point electrode, and in the experimental example according to this embodiment, the rise time constant was 73±24 μs.

これらを使い分けることも出来る。The reason why the output signal is large and has a sharp rise as described above is because in the point electrode probes 10A and 1OB, the contact point of one electrode needle 12 is made at an acute angle to make point contact. By obtaining the signal, measurement errors can be reduced, and as a result, measurement accuracy can be increased. In addition, in order to make it possible to increase the measured flow rate without reducing measurement accuracy, we installed a large number of point electrode probes in advance at positions with different Qp sizes.
You can also use these separately.

Any device that can automatically detect passing, extract it as an electrical signal, and count the time required to pass a predetermined distance can be adopted as appropriate.

It is possible to measure the time required to travel a predetermined distance by counting the time difference using electrical signals, and automatically measure the flow rate from that time.This greatly improves measurement accuracy compared to conventional visual measurements. can be improved. In addition, since the detection signal for passing through the membrane is a large signal with a sharp rise, it can be easily detected.
Since there is less time delay and an electrical output corresponding to the flow rate can be obtained, measurement accuracy is further improved. In addition, since this membrane flowmeter only detects the movement of the membrane in the measuring section,
Pressure loss in the measuring section can be prevented from affecting the characteristics of the device being measured.
