  • the invention concerns a device for determining the flow amount of liquid in a pipe system, said pipe system hav ⁇ ing inserted therein an ultrasonic meter which consists of a flow duct at whose ends a first measuring transducer and a second measuring transducer, respectively, are ar- ranged, said measuring transducers being suspended cen ⁇ trally at the ends of the flow duct.
  • Danish Published Application No. 161258 discloses a meas ⁇ uring device in which a transducer is mounted at the ends of a measuring pipe.
  • the liquid whose flow amount is to be determined is conveyed via an inlet distribution cham ⁇ ber to a transducer, which is mounted at one end of a flow duct, and further through the flow duct to the other end at which a second transducer is mounted.
  • This device thus involves a system in which liquid is conveyed into distribution chambers which are staggered with respect to the axial direction of the measuring path. This known de ⁇ vice therefore requires some mounting space because of the position of the distribution chambers.
  • European Patent Specification No. 88235 discloses a de ⁇ vice of the type defined in the introductory portion of claim 1.

  • the transducer is retained very stably and fixedly in the dome-shaped unit.
  • the ribs have a curved shape along their axis of sym- metry, such as a convex or tray shape with a plane face from which the curvature begins at each side of the per ⁇ pendicular axis of symmetry of the plane face, it is en ⁇ sured that the liquid flow through the duct is disturbed as little as possible.

  • Fig. 5 additionally shows that the ring 10 has a curved surface 10 which may be dimensioned for the funnel 2 in fig. 1 so that the face 10 merges evenly into the funnel 2.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un compteur ultrasonique servant à déterminer l'écoulement d'un liquide dans un système de tuyaux, ledit compteur étant inséré dans ledit système de tuyaux. Ledit compteur est constitué d'un canal d'écoulement à chaque extrémité duquel est suspendu de manière centrale un transducteur (4). La suspension est réalisée au moyen d'une unité en forme de dôme (8), qui est éventuellement munie d'une cavité où chaque transducteur (4) peut être logé, ladite unité en forme de dôme étant reliée soit à des nervures (7) dont les extrémités opposées se terminent par un anneau (8), soit à une plaque ayant des alésages. L'alimentation en énergie des transducteurs est effectuée à travers des lignes (13) longeant l'intérieur de l'une des nervures (7). Chaque transducteur (4) est fixé aux extrémités dudit conduit d'écoulement avec son système de suspension, dans une petite partie du tuyau pouvant recevoir un joint d'étanchéité (6) sur lequel est placé l'anneau (8) de l'unité en forme de dôme. L'assemblage est serré au moyen d'un écrou (5). La structure obtenue occupe peu de place et offre une très grande flexibilité au moment du remplacement d'un transducteur (4).
