(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a flow rate measuring apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a flow rate detecting means 6 is provided in the fluid passage 5 to detect the flow rate in the passage.
The flow rate detecting means 6 is provided with ultrasonic transmitters / receivers 6a and 6b on the upstream side and the downstream side of the flow, respectively. Is calculated and the details will be described later. A valve seat 7a, a valve body 7b, and a spring 7 are provided upstream 5a of the flow rate detecting means 6.

Next, the operation will be described. In FIG. 1, the pressure fluctuation control valve 7 is provided on the upstream side of the flow rate detecting means 6, and is configured to close the valve seat 7b by urging the spring 7c against the weight of the valve body 7a. When the fluid flows in the forward direction, the valve element 7b is pushed downward against the force of the spring 7c to open the valve. When there is no flow, the valve body 7b is the spring 7
Although the valve seat 7a is closed by c, the valve body 7b is pushed down as shown in the figure by the pressure difference in the forward flow (direction of the arrow) to open the valve. When the flow in the forward direction becomes large, the opening degree of the valve becomes larger and the pressure loss does not increase significantly. When the flow in the opposite direction is generated due to the pressure fluctuation, the valve body 7 receives an upward force and strongly closes the valve seat 7a to stop the flow.

That is, when there is no average flow in the fluid passage or when the flow rate is small on average, the backflow generated by the pressure fluctuation is prevented, and the forward flow is also suppressed because the valve opening is small. The pulsating flow is reduced, the value of the flow rate detecting means 6 does not fluctuate greatly, and the average flow rate can be calculated. Further, when a large flow rate flows in the fluid passage, the differential pressure generated in the valve body 7b becomes large, so the valve body 7b is displaced downward in the figure to increase the valve opening degree, and significantly increase the pressure loss. There is no. At this time, if a pressure fluctuation occurs, the valve opening is large and the effect of suppressing the pressure fluctuation is small, so a flow rate error is generated, but since the average flow rate is large and the error ratio is relatively small, there is no problem.

If the pressure fluctuation control valve 7 is provided on the upstream side of the flow rate detecting means 6, the pressure fluctuation is suppressed in this portion, so that the influence of pulsation on the flow rate detecting means 6 is further reduced. The directions of the valve body 7b and the spring 7c can be freely selected.

On the other hand, it is conceivable that the flow rate will be changed and the flow rate accuracy will be deteriorated by providing the valve element on the upstream side.
However, the fluid flows in from the valve seat 7a in the center of the flow path,
Since the fluid diffuses and flows in the circumferential direction from the gap between the valve body 7b and the valve seat 7a, the influence on the flow rate detecting hand is extremely small.
Further, at the inlet of the fluid passage 5, 5a flows in with a flow velocity distribution biased by the one connected to the upstream side (for example, a bent pipe), but is diffused when passing through the valve body 7b to detect the flow rate. The means 6 has a flow velocity distribution with no deviation.

FIG. 2 shows the details of the flow rate detecting means using ultrasonic waves. In FIG. 2, the second transceiver 6b that transmits and receives with the first transceiver 6a is arranged in the flow direction. Reference numeral 8 is a flow rate calculating means for processing and calculating a signal based on ultrasonic waves, 9 is a transmission circuit, and the first means is provided by the trigger means 10.
The transmitter / receiver 6a is driven and ultrasonic waves are transmitted toward the second transmitter / receiver 6b, that is, from upstream to downstream. The amplifier circuit 11 amplifies the signal received by the second transceiver b, the amplified signal is compared with the reference signal by the comparison circuit 12, and after the signal equal to or higher than the reference signal is detected, the repeating means 13 triggers again. The time after the transmission is performed from the means 10 and the above-mentioned transmission / reception is repeated a predetermined number of times is obtained by the time measuring means 14 such as a timer counter.

Next, the switching means 15 switches the transmission / reception of the first transceiver 6a and the second transceiver 6b, and the second transceiver 6
The ultrasonic signal is transmitted from b to the first transceiver 6a, that is, from the downstream side to the upstream side, this transmission is repeated as described above, and the time is counted. Then, the flow rate calculation means 8 obtains the flow rate value from the time difference in consideration of the size of the pipeline and the flow state.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, a valve seat 7a and a valve body 7b are provided downstream of the flow rate detecting means 6 provided in the fluid passage 5. A pressure fluctuation control valve 7 is provided.

Next, the operation will be described. When there is no flow, the valve body 7b closes the valve seat 7a by its own weight, but in the forward flow (direction of the arrow), the valve body 7b floats up and opens the valve due to the pressure difference as shown in the figure. When the flow in the forward direction becomes large, the opening degree of the valve becomes larger and the pressure loss does not increase significantly. When the flow in the opposite direction is generated due to the pressure fluctuation, the valve body 7 receives a downward force and, together with its own weight, strongly closes the valve seat 7a to stop the flow.

Since the pressure fluctuation control valve 7 is located on the downstream side of the flow rate detecting means 6, even if the flow is somewhat disturbed at this portion, it does not adversely affect the flow rate detection.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 4 shows a valve body 7b. FIG. 4 (a) is a front view and FIG. 4 (b) is a plan view thereof. The valve body 16 operates almost the same as the valve body 7b described above, but the flow is swirled by a plurality of blades such as the blade 16a. This swirling flow makes it possible to stabilize the flow velocity distribution even with respect to a flow having a significantly deviated flow velocity distribution.

Since the fluid passes through the valve body 18 and the position of the valve body 18 does not change, the flow is extremely stable. Further, if the valve element 18 is spherical, it is more symmetrical with respect to the center and stable against flow. The communication channel 17a may be provided in the valve body 18.
