Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic flow meter for measuring a flow rate by measuring only a water level, and more particularly, to an ultrasonic flow meter using a Manning equation.
Most of submerged flowmeters used in Korea are based on ultrasonic Doppler method, which is the method of emitting ultrasound to particles in sewage and calculating the difference between the frequency at the time of launching and the frequency at which it is reflected, And the flow of particles is the same.
As for the immersion type flowmeter, various products are currently being marketed not only in domestic but also in NIVUS in Germany, MACE in Australia, GRAYLINE in Canada and the like.
As patent documents, a plurality of patents have been filed in Korea, and Korean Registration No. 10-0791319 entitled " Ultrasonic Doppler Flowmeter for Sewer Pipe "and Korea Publication No. 10-2011-0017333" Flowmeter using cross- That's an example.
On the other hand, Fig. 1 shows a submerged flowmeter. As shown in FIG. 1, the
Since the immersion
As another method of measuring the flow rate, there is disclosed a technique of measuring the flow rate using only the water level, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0097233 entitled " . In addition, "Measurement of fluid flow in KS B ISO 1100-2 number - Part 2: Determination of water level - flow relationship" also shows how to calculate the flow rate by measuring only water level using Manning equation.
Specifically, the average flow velocity V can be expressed by the following equation (1).
Where n is the roughness factor, S is the tube slope, and R h is the acceptance length.
Accordingly, the flow rate Q can be expressed by the following equation (2).
Where A is the cross-sectional area of the circular tube or the cross-sectional area of the square tube.
In the case of a circular tube, A can be expressed by Equation (3) with reference to the following reference diagram.
[Reference diagram]
Here, the center angle? And the water level h are respectively expressed by the following equations (4) and (5).
On the other hand, in the case of the rectangular channel, A is expressed by the following equation (6).
In this way, when the Manning equation, which is a normal flow velocity measurement method, is used in a general number, there is a problem that a flow error is calculated by measuring the actual flow velocity and the water level at a certain level or more.
Therefore, there is a need for a technology implementation that can effectively solve such a problem.
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for periodically cleaning and maintaining foreign matter on a sensor at the bottom of a conduit, which is a problem of a submergible flow meter for measuring a flow rate by measuring a flow rate-water level in an existing sewer line, , And the problem of too large a flow error at a certain level or higher when using a conventional flow meter using a conventional Manning equation is solved.
The present invention relates to a flow meter for calculating a flow rate by measuring only the water level in a pipeline of an open channel or an obesity pipe state, wherein the water level is classified into n stages from L 1 to L n , It is possible to input S 1 ~S n corresponding to the water level L 1 ~ L n , which is a slope constant of Manning equation for calculating the flow rate, so that it is applied to a separate manning equation in each step, The present invention provides a sewer pipe type ultrasonic flowmeter to which a multi-manning type is applied.
According to one embodiment, the water level data can be calculated by moving averages from 1 to n seconds in order to minimize the effects of temporary hunting and peaking in the water level measurement for calculating the flow rate.
According to one embodiment, a round flow guide pipe made of stainless steel or plastic can be installed at the manhole inverter portion for eliminating the influence of the Manning-type roughness function according to each water channel condition and measuring the water level for stable fluid flow.
According to one embodiment, in order to compensate for the disadvantage that the flow rate is calculated only when the water level is measured even without the fluid flow which is a disadvantage of the flow meter using the Manning equation, the flow level is determined by measuring the flow rate, It can be understood that the fluid does not flow and stagnates if the flow switch is not operated.
Also, in the present invention, in the flow meter for measuring the flow rate by measuring only the water level, the slope S 1 is applied below the water level L 1, and the slope S 2 is applied below the water level L 2 and L 3, If the water level is between L 2 L 1 in the inclination S 1f 1f in the water level L is L 1 = S 1 and S 1f + calculated interpolation slope S 1 and S 2 in L 2 (L 1 -L 1f) ( S 2 -S 1 ) / (L 2 -L 1 ) so that the slopes S 1 and S 2 can be naturally connected without an inflection point. The present invention also provides a sewage pipe type ultrasonic flowmeter to which the multi-manning method is applied.
Since the sensor according to the present invention does not contact the fluid, the non-contact type ultrasonic water level meter does not require foreign matter accumulation and thus does not require periodic cleaning and maintenance.
In addition, since only the level sensor is used, the price can be reduced to 1/3 of that of the conventional immersion type flow meter, thereby reducing the cost of the user.
Also, it is possible to know the water level-flow rate relation for each site based on the accumulated flow data, and it is possible to use a different manning equation for each water level, Can be improved.
In addition, the conventional Manning type flow meter can solve the problem that the flow rate is calculated when only the water level is measured without the flow of the fluid.

However, it is needless to say that the components shown in FIG. 4 are not essential, so that a ultrasonic flowmeter having more or fewer components can be implemented.
Hereinafter, each component will be described.

Specifically, the
The data measured in the immersion type flow meter of the flow rate-level measurement method (see FIG. 1) can be represented as a graph of the level-flow rate graph as shown in the graph of FIG. 7 (see the "actual flow rate" series in blue).
In this case, when the general manning equation is 0.013 and the slope S is 0.00117, the range of 0.096m to 0.104m is within ± 1.0% of the measured flow, but the deviation is -3.5% at the water level of 0.092m or less and the water level is 0.128m It can be seen that the deviation varies from -10% to -24% (see Table 1 below).
In other words, it shows deviation within a certain degree in some water level sections, but it shows a deviation up to 24% after a certain water level. Thus, it can be said that it can not replace the existing type of flow rate meter.
Therefore, the
Here, n is preferably 5, but is not particularly limited, and may be more or less depending on the case. In addition, the tube slope constant values may be different from each other in the water level, and the higher the water level, the larger the tube slope constant value.
In this case, the range of the water level by each water level and the water level constant of each water level may be an arbitrary range or an arbitrary value based on the actually measured water level data.

As shown in Table 2, the flow rate according to an embodiment of the present invention is comparatively accurate within a range of the measured flow rate and the total water level within a range of ± 3%, which is a substitute for the immersion type flow meter for measuring the existing flow rate-water level.
If the water level-flow correlation graph is obtained by using the existing flow rate measurement data, a different manning equation is applied to each level by using only the non-contact

As shown in Table 2, the
On the other hand, there may be a case where the flow rate deviation varies abruptly between adjacent water level steps among the flow rate variations calculated by the
Concretely, as shown in Table 2, at a water level of 0.124 m, the deviation is -2.13%, and at a water level of 0.128 m, a deviation of 2.41% may occur within ± 3% or more than ± 4%.
In this case, the Manning slope constant value of any one of the adjacent water level steps in which the flow rate deviation occurs sharply is preferably corrected by the interpolation method.
That is, when the slope S1 is applied below the water level L1 and the slope S2 is applied above the water level L2, the slope S1f at the water level L1f where the water level is between L1 and L2 is obtained by interpolating the slopes S1 and S2 at L1 and L2, = S1 + (L1f-L1) (S2-S1) / (L2-L1) can be used to naturally connect the slopes S1 and S2 without inflection points.
For example, the water level L1 = 0.108m, the slope S1 = 0.00120, the flow rate deviation -0.14%, the water level L2 = 0.132m, the slope S2 = 0.00150 and the flow rate deviation 0.88% The slope in the interval can be calculated sequentially as 0.00125, 0.00130, 0.00135, 0.00140, 0.00145. The flow rate and the flow rate deviation calculated based on the above can be expressed as shown in Table 3, and it can be understood that the problem of the rapid variation of the flow rate variation is solved.
