Description
The present invention relates to an integrated ball valve for an ultrasonic flowmeter capable of reducing the size and manufacturing cost by integrally forming an ultrasonic flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of a fluid (FLUID) passing through a ball valve.
BACKGROUND ART [0002] Generally, a pipe for injecting and extracting high-pressure fuel such as gas and liquid is installed in a pipe of a high-pressure tank storing various high-pressure gas (for example, LPG), and the pipe includes at least one valve for controlling the flow rate, (FLOWMETER) for adjusting or monitoring the supply flow rate of the fluid.
There are various kinds of flowmeters such as an electronic flowmeter, an area flowmeter, a turbine flowmeter, an ultrasonic flowmeter, a differential pressure flowmeter, and a vortex flowmeter. For example, Valves are necessarily installed at the front end, the rear end, or the front and rear ends.
As an example of the prior art in which such a flow meter (or a pressure gauge) and a valve are combined, there is a Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0200420.
Korean Utility Model Registration Utility Model No. 20-0200420 discloses a liquid injection induction tube having a ball valve 5 capable of injecting and withdrawing liquid high pressure fuel from one side of a
A
As another example of the prior art in which a flow meter and a valve are combined, there is an ultrasonic flow meter described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-215464.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2012-215464 has a shut-off valve 2 and a flow meter side portion 3 which are disposed at a proper position of the fluid passage 1.
The flow meter side portion 3 includes a pair of ultrasonic sensors 31a and 31b that perform ultrasonic wave transmission and reception on the upstream side and the downstream side of the flow path 1 respectively and the pair of ultrasonic sensors 31a and 31b And are arranged such that the traveling direction of the ultrasonic waves transmitted between the ultrasonic sensors 31a and 31b and the direction in which the fluid passes through the flow path cross at a certain angle?
The pair of ultrasonic sensors 31a and 31b are connected to the ultrasonic sensor drive circuit 30. The ultrasonic sensor drive circuit drives ultrasonic waves of the ultrasonic sensors 31a and 31b and transmits ultrasonic waves So as to measure the flow rate of the fluid passing through the flow path.
However, according to the related art as described above, the flowmeter and the valve are separated and formed, and the number of parts for connection between the flowmeter and the valve is increased, which increases the work flow during installation and maintenance.
For example, when a flow meter and a valve are installed in each pipe, the flange for connecting the flow meter and the valve increases, and the use of parts such as an O-ring in the connecting member and the valve is increased, Additional welding work is needed.
Further, since the straight pipe portion for installing the valve and the straight pipe portion for installing the flow meter are separately provided, there is a problem that the structure around the pipe is complicated, thereby reducing the space utilization of the industrial facility.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball valve and an ultrasonic flowmeter integrated with each other and to eliminate an additional straight pipe portion and a flange, thereby minimizing size and manufacturing cost, And an object of the present invention is to provide an integrated ball valve for an ultrasonic flowmeter which can reduce the workload during installation and maintenance.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a valve apparatus comprising: a valve body having an internal flow path connecting a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; a ball installed in the internal flow passage to open and close the internal flow passage by rotation; An operating mechanism that rotates the stem to open and close the internal flow path and a flow rate of the fluid passing through the internal flow path by an ultrasonic sensor module provided on the inlet side and the outlet side of the ball, respectively, And an ultrasonic flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of the ultrasonic flowmeter.
The ultrasonic sensor module may be installed in a pair such that the ultrasonic sensor module faces the upper portion of the inlet side of the ball and the lower portion of the outlet side of the ball in a diagonal direction.
The ultrasonic sensor module may be configured to transmit ultrasonic waves to a space opened by the balls.
Wherein the ultrasonic flowmeter includes an analyzer for analyzing a change in ultrasonic waves emitted and detected by the ultrasonic sensor module and measuring a flow rate of the fluid passing through the internal flow channel and a flow rate meter for measuring the flow rate of the fluid measured by the analyzer, And a display unit for displaying an image.
The inner flow path may be configured to have the same diameter as the inlet side and the outlet side of the ball.
The valve body may include a flange for connecting the ends of the inlet and the outlet to the pipe.
The ultrasonic sensor module may be configured such that ultrasonic waves emitted from at least one of the pair of upper and lower ultrasonic sensor modules are transmitted through a fluid passing through the inner channel and then detected by another one.
The ultrasonic sensor module may be installed in a straight pipe portion formed between the ball and the flange.
According to the present invention, by installing the ultrasonic flowmeter integrally on the straight pipe portion of the ball valve, the size of the device can be minimized by omitting the straight pipe portion and the flange for separately joining the ultrasonic flowmeter, And the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
In addition, since the number of flanges for coupling together with the miniaturization of the apparatus is reduced, it is possible to reduce the work flow during installation and maintenance on the piping.
