THERMAL TYPE FLOWMETER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THERMAL TYPE FLOWMETER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027246 titled 'THERMAL TYPE FLOWMETER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THERMAL TYPE FLOWMETER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a thermal type flowmeter that includes a resin channel member, a plate member, and a sensor unit.
- The resin channel member and the plate member together define a measuring channel used for measuring the flow rate of a liquid.
- The sensor unit consists of a heating resistor that transfers heat to the plate member and a temperature detecting resistor that determines the temperature of the plate member.
- The channel member has a flat surface with a first groove formed in it.
- The inflow channel, which has a circular cross-section, is connected to one end of the first groove along its axis.
- The outflow channel, also with a circular cross-section, is connected to the other end of the first groove along its axis.
- The inner diameters of the positions on the flat surface where the inflow channel and the outflow channel are opened are larger than the width of the first groove.
Potential Applications:
- Industrial process control: The thermal flowmeter can be used in various industries to measure the flow rate of liquids in pipes, helping in process control and optimization.
- Environmental monitoring: The flowmeter can be utilized in environmental monitoring systems to measure the flow rate of liquids in rivers, streams, or wastewater treatment plants.
Problems Solved:
- Accurate flow rate measurement: The thermal flowmeter provides a reliable and accurate measurement of liquid flow rates, overcoming the limitations of traditional flow measurement techniques.
- Compatibility with different liquids: The flowmeter can be used with a wide range of liquids, including corrosive or viscous fluids, without affecting its performance.
Benefits:
- Non-intrusive measurement: The flowmeter does not require direct contact with the liquid, minimizing the risk of contamination or damage.
- Easy installation and maintenance: The flowmeter's design allows for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and costs.
- Wide operating range: The flowmeter can operate effectively across a wide range of flow rates and temperatures, making it versatile for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a thermal type flowmeter including: a resin channel member; a plate member defining, together with the channel member, a measuring channel used for measuring a liquid flow rate; and a sensor unit having a heating resistor that transfers heat to the plate member and a temperature detecting resistor that determines a temperature of the plate member. the channel member includes a flat surface in which a first groove is formed, an inflow channel having a circular cross section connected to one end in axis direction along the axis of the first groove, and an outflow channel having a circular cross section connected to the other end in the axis direction of the first groove, and inner diameters of positions of the flat surface at which the inflow channel and the outflow channel are opened, respectively, are larger than the width of the first groove.
