Description

Pressure gauge

Technical field

The present invention relates to a pressure gauge for detecting air pressure.

Background technique

The working principle of the pressure gauge is through the elastic deformation of the sensitive components (Bourdon tube, bellows, bellows) in the watch, and then the deformation mechanism of the movement inside the watch transmits the pressure deformation to the pointer, causing the pointer to rotate to display the pressure. Spring tube (Bourdon tube) is divided into type tube, coil spring tube, spiral tube, etc., generally adopts cold work hardening material blank tube, which has high plasticity in the annealed state, cold work hardening and qualitative treatment after pressure processing Get high elasticity and strength. Under the action of internal cavity pressure, the spring tube can easily convert the pressure into the elastic displacement of the free end of the spring tube by utilizing its elastic characteristics. The measuring range of the spring tube is generally that the diaphragm sensitive component is a circular diaphragm with a wave, and the diaphragm side is subjected to the pressure of the measuring medium, so that the slight bending deformation generated by the diaphragm can be used to indirectly measure the pressure of the medium, the pressure The size is displayed by the pointer. The diaphragm has a larger transmission force than the Bourdon tube, and its vibration-proof property is better because the peripheral edge of the diaphragm itself is fixed. The diaphragm pressure gauge can achieve high overpressure protection (such as the diaphragm attached to the upper flange), the diaphragm can also be coated with a protective coating to improve corrosion resistance, using open flanges, flushing, openings, etc. Diaphragm pressure gauges measure very viscous, unclean and crystalline media. Pressure gauges for diaphragm gauges range from 1600 Pa to 2.5 MPa.

Pressure gauges mainly include bellows type pressure gauges, spring type pressure gauges, bellows type pressure gauges, shockproof pressure gauges, digital pressure gauges, and the like.

The structure of the bellows type pressure gauge is mainly composed of a membrane box and a transmission amplifying mechanism. The bellows is a round box-shaped pressure-sensing element made of an alloy. When subjected to pressure changes, it will expand or contract and displace. After the transmission and amplification of the lever system, the pointer indicates on the grooved dial. Measure the value of micro pressure or micro negative pressure. Membrane pressure gauges can also be powered with contacts for control and protection.

The structure of the spring tube type pressure gauge, such as the Chinese utility model patent "miniature spring tube pressure gauge" whose patent number is ZL200920199778.4 (publication number CN201527321U), discloses such a spring tube pressure gauge structure. In the circular outer casing, there is a spring elbow (made of a common-slotted phosphor bronze pipe or a seamless steel pipe) having an elliptical cross section (the long axis of the ellipse is parallel to the central axis of the needle), and one end thereof is a fixed end. The other end is a closed free end, the free end is connected with the connecting rod, the other end of the connecting rod is a sector gear, the sector gear is connected with the pinion gear on the central shaft, and the pointer of the pressure gauge is fixed on the central shaft. When the special spring tube is subjected to the pressure of the medium (such as gas), the free end is moved outward, and then the connecting rod drives the sector gear and the pinion to rotate, so that the pointer rotates clockwise by an angle. The greater the pressure of the medium, the greater the angle of rotation of the pointer. At this time, the scale value indicated by the pointer on the dial of the pressure gauge is the value of the measured air pressure. When the pressure is reduced, the spring bends will contract inward, returning the pointer to the appropriate position. When the pressure disappears, the spring bend returns to its original shape, and with the help of the hairspring, the pointer returns to the starting point (zero position). The spring tube type pressure gauge has the advantages of compact structure, high precision, wide measuring range and convenient use, and is often used to measure the pressure value of the medium in the drum, the header and the pipeline.

Due to the complicated structure of the transmission part, the existing pressure gauge structure has a large volume of the pressure gauge, and has high requirements on material requirements and manufacturing precision, resulting in high cost, and the seismic effect of the lever or gear transmission structure is extremely poor. If the pressure gauge falls on the bottom surface, its lever or gear transmission will be damaged.
