As known in the art, a gas flow meter is a meter that measures the flow of gas and is typically installed in a pipeline to record the amount of gas flowing through. Taking a gas flowmeter as an example, in the use process, because the gas flow in a gas pipeline is unstable, turbulent pulsating flow exists, the abnormal flow field can be caused, and thus, the inaccurate measurement of the gas flowmeter can be caused, and the measurement dispute can be caused. The existing solution is to test at the user site to determine the metering deviation.

The pulse generator is connected in series between the standard flowmeter and the flowmeter to be measured, so that the metering result of the gas flowmeter before and after the disturbance of the pulse flow field can be intuitively obtained, different pulse airflows can be generated through the pulse generator to simulate the influence of the pulse flow field on the airflows under the real working condition, the test in a factory is convenient, and the problem that the metering deviation of the gas flowmeter under the real working condition is difficult to determine due to the fact that the detection to the user on site is inconvenient can be solved.

The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
A flow meter deviation detecting device provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 3.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a flow meter deviation detecting device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the flow meter deviation detecting device provided by the application includes a standard flow meter 100, a pulsation generator 200, a flow meter 300 to be detected, and a control center 400, where the standard flow meter 100 is used for detecting a flow value Q1 of an air flow entering the standard flow meter 100; the pulsation generator 200 is in communication with the standard flow meter 100, the pulsation generator 200 being configured to disrupt the flow of air exiting the standard flow meter 100 to form a pulsating flow; the flow meter 300 to be measured is communicated with the pulsation generator 200, and the flow meter 300 to be measured is used for detecting the flow value Q2 of the pulsating air flow; the control center 400 is electrically connected with the standard flowmeter 100, the pulsation generator 200 and the flowmeter 300 to be measured respectively; the control center 400 is used for controlling the flow rate of the air flow entering the standard flow meter 100 and for controlling the operation state of the pulsation generator 200 to form different types of pulsating air flows, and the control center 400 is also used for collecting flow values (Q1 and Q2) measured by the standard flow meter 100 and the flow meter 300 to be measured to calculate the metering deviation.
Further, both the standard flow meter 100 and the flow meter 300 to be measured have pressure sensors and temperature sensors.
It will be appreciated that the standard flow meter 100, the pulser 200 and the flow meter 300 to be measured are connected in series such that the air flow passes through the standard flow meter 100, the pulser 200 and the flow meter 300 to be measured in sequence. In this process, the standard flow meter 100 first measures the flow value Q1 of the air flow entering the standard flow meter 100, the pressure sensor of the standard flow meter 100 also detects the pressure value P1 in the standard flow meter 100 at the same time, and the temperature sensor of the standard flow meter 100 also detects the temperature value T1 of the standard flow meter 100 at the same time; the air flow flows out of the standard flowmeter 100 and then reaches the pulse generator 200, the pulse generator 200 interferes the air flow to simulate a complex flow field in a pipeline under the actual condition to form a pulse air flow, then the flow value Q2 of the pulse air flow entering the flowmeter 300 to be measured is measured through the flowmeter 300 to be measured, the pressure sensor of the flowmeter 300 to be measured also detects the pressure value P2 in the flowmeter 300 to be measured, and the temperature sensor of the flowmeter 300 to be measured also detects the temperature value T2 of the flowmeter 300 to be measured; the control center 400 collects flow values (Q1 and Q2), pressure values (P1 and P2) and temperature values (T1 and T2) before and after flow field interference, the control center 400 performs volume conversion through a gaseous equation, flow values Q11 and Q22 in a standard state (20 ℃ and 101.325 kPa) are calculated, and finally the control center 400 subtracts the flow values Q11 and Q22 to obtain the metering deviation of the gas flowmeter under the flow field interference.
Adjusting the flow rate of gas entering the standard flow meter 100 by the control center 400 to simulate the actual flow rate of gas flow in the user field pipe; and the type of the generated pulsating gas flow is adjusted by controlling the running state of the pulsation generator 200 so as to simulate the actual working condition in the user field pipeline, thereby being beneficial to improving the accuracy of measuring deviation detection.
The type of the pulsating gas flow comprises laminar flow, turbulent flow and the like, wherein the laminar flow refers to laminar parallel flow of the gas which has a rule in the flowing direction, and the gas flow usually has a laminar flow state when the flow speed is smaller; turbulence means that the air flow moves forward in the main flow direction, eddies exist in the radial direction of the non-main flow, irregular turbulence movement is integrally shown, and the air flow usually shows a turbulent state when the flow speed is high and the air flow is rubbed by the pipe wall.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the air flow driver 500 is further included, where the air flow driver 500 is used to communicate with the standard flow meter 100, and the air flow driver 500 is used to output a stable air flow to the standard flow meter 100.
Wherein the exhaust port of the air flow driver 500 is in communication with the inlet port of the standard flow meter 100 and the air flow driver 500 is electrically connected to the control center 400.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a pulsation generator in a flow meter deviation detecting device according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a pulsation generator in a flow meter deviation detecting device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in conjunction with fig. 2 and 3, in the embodiment of the present application, the pulsation generator 200 includes a housing 210, a valve stem 220, a butterfly plate 230, and a driving motor 240, the housing 210 having a cylindrical chamber 211 therethrough, and the standard flow meter 100 and the flow meter 300 to be measured being communicated through the chamber 211; the valve rod 220 is inserted on the shell 210, the axis of the valve rod 220 is intersected with the axis of the cavity 211, and two ends of the valve rod 220 extend out of the shell 210 respectively; a butterfly plate 230 is attached to the valve stem 220, the butterfly plate 230 being located within the chamber 211; an output shaft of the driving motor 240 is connected with one end of the valve rod 220, and the driving motor 240 is used for driving the valve rod 220 to rotate so as to drive the butterfly plate 230 to turn over, thereby realizing interference on the air flow in the cavity 211 so as to form pulsating air flow.
Referring to fig. 3, exemplary butterfly plate 230 includes a pressing plate 232 and a plate body 233, wherein a connecting member is disposed at one end surface of pressing plate 232, pressing plate 232 is connected to valve rod 220 via the connecting member, a mounting groove is formed at the other end surface of pressing plate 232, and plate body 233 is coaxially connected in the mounting groove. The connecting piece can be a sleeve connected with the pressing plate 232, the valve rod 220 is arranged in the sleeve in a penetrating mode, and the valve rod 220 and the sleeve are limited through fixing pins.
In use, the drive motor 240 operates with its output shaft driving the valve stem 220 to rotate therewith, and the valve stem 220 drives the butterfly plate 230 to rotate within the chamber 211. When the butterfly plate 230 rotates to be coaxial with the chamber 211, the chamber 211 is blocked, so that air flow cannot flow along the chamber 211; when the butterfly plate 230 rotates to be out of axis with the chamber 211, the chamber 211 is unblocked and air flow can pass through the chamber 211. Under the action of the driving motor 240, the butterfly plate 230 periodically seals and unseals the chamber 211, so that the air flow can form periodic pulsation when flowing through the chamber 211, thereby forming pulsating air flow.
By adjusting the rotation direction and rotation rate of the driving motor 240, the adjustment of the turning direction and turning rate of the butterfly plate 230 can be achieved, so that the butterfly plate 230 executes different operation modes to form different pulsating air flows, thereby forming a complex flow field.
When the butterfly plate 230 is not coaxial with the chamber 211, the shielding effect (i.e. the throttling effect) of the butterfly plate 230 on the chamber 211 in the rotation process also changes periodically, which is specifically expressed as: along with the rotation of the butterfly plate 230, in the process that the axis of the butterfly plate 230 is gradually vertical to the axis of the chamber 211, the shielding effect (i.e. throttling effect) of the butterfly plate 230 on the chamber 211 is gradually reduced until the shielding effect (i.e. throttling effect) of the butterfly plate 230 on the chamber 211 is minimum when the axis of the butterfly plate 230 is vertical to the axis of the chamber 211, and at the moment, the circulation efficiency of the air flow is highest; when the axis of the butterfly plate 230 coincides with the axis of the chamber 211, the butterfly plate 230 has the greatest shielding effect (i.e., a throttling effect) on the chamber 211, and the air flow cannot flow through the chamber 211. Therefore, by utilizing the throttling effect of the butterfly plate 230 on the cavity 211, the dynamic change of the air flow can be realized, and a complex flow field is convenient to build so as to simulate the actual condition in a pipeline on the site of a user.
Further, the butterfly plate 230 may have other shapes or sizes smaller than the normal cross section of the chamber 211, and the butterfly plate 230 may be capable of disturbing the air flow to generate pulsating air flow during operation.
Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present application, the pulsation generator 200 further includes a bracket 250 and a bottom cover 260, the bracket 250 is covered on one end of the valve rod 220 near the driving motor 240, and the housing 210 and the driving motor 240 are connected on opposite sides of the bracket 250; the bottom cover 260 covers one end of the valve rod 220, which is far away from the driving motor 240, the bottom cover 260 is connected with the shell 210, a connecting hole 261 is formed in one end surface of the bottom cover 260, which is close to the shell 210, and the end part of the valve rod 220 is connected in the connecting hole 261.

It can be appreciated that the bracket 250 is further provided with a yielding hole with a diameter greater than or equal to that of the valve rod 220, and one end of the valve rod 220, which is close to the driving motor 240, is connected with the output shaft of the driving motor 240 through the yielding hole.
Illustratively, the brackets 250 are connected to the housing 210 by bolts and connecting seats of the driving motor 240, respectively; the bottom cover 260 is coupled to the housing 210 by screw or bolt.

Illustratively, the first seal 231 may be formed of a flexible silicone or rubber material and disposed annularly around the edge of the platen 232, such that when the butterfly plate 230 is rotated to be coaxial with the chamber 211, the first seal 231 is in sufficient contact with the sidewall of the chamber 211 to provide a seal at the junction of the butterfly plate 230 and the chamber 211.

It will be appreciated that the second seal 212 is used to seal the connection between the valve stem 220 and the housing 210, and the third seal 213 is used to seal the connection between the bottom cap 260 and the housing 210 to avoid measurement errors caused by gas leakage within the chamber 211.
