In general, an electromagnetic flow needle is configured to apply a magnetic field perpendicularly to the fluid flow direction, simultaneously detect changes in electrical signals in the fluid flow path, and measure the fluid flow rate based on this. ing. Most recent electromagnetic flow needles use low-frequency excitation methods, such as trapezoidal wave excitation and square wave excitation, which have superior zero point stability compared to AC excitation and DC excitation methods. There is. In this type of low-frequency excitation type electromagnetic flowmeter, in particular, an excitation current is supplied to the excitation coil of the electromagnetic flowmeter transmitter with a steady value that repeats in the order of negative, zero, positive, and zero. The signal voltage eal"a2" during each period when the steady value of the excitation current is negative, zero, positive, and zero.

After (
By performing the calculation ea4-3ea2 '' 3ea2- eal), the offset voltage component can be removed by quadratic approximation. However, according to experiments, the offset voltage component swings in the positive and negative directions, but the swing is between -1v and +1v. It was confirmed that the potential change always has an inflection point.Therefore, when removing the offset voltage component by quadratic approximation, it is necessary to remove the inflection point of the potential change. In addition, the minimum value of the excitation current in an electromagnetic flowmeter is determined by the ratio to the input conversion noise of the signal processing circuit, and since the input conversion noise is almost vector added, (ea + ea2' - ea3-ea4)

In this way, in the present invention, the noise component V and the offset voltage component accompanying switching of the excitation current can be removed by fifth-order approximation, and the offset voltage component can be effectively removed even when the offset voltage component has an inflection point. can. Moreover, the signal processing circuit 5
The input equivalent noise is 12+32+ 22+ 22+ 3
Since the flow rate component V is multiplied by 4, which is expressed as + 1 dew 5.68, it takes more time to obtain the same flow rate signal of large heat than when the offset voltage component is removed by quadratic approximation. The required excitation current may be 59χ, and the power consumption d is 35%.
K can also be reduced. Furthermore, this method has the characteristic that no integration error occurs due to fluctuations in flow rate, and no offset occurs due to ramp-like flow rate changes.

Furthermore, in the above description, the case where the output eb of the amplifier 31 is directly transferred to the sample and hold circuit 32K is illustrated, but as shown in FIG. You can also sum it up to give. In this case, if the integration time T8 is selected to be an integral multiple of the commercial power supply cycle, the influence of power supply frequency noise can be removed. In FIG. 5, the integrator 39 includes a resistor RI, an operational amplifier Op, an integrating capacitor CI connected to the feedback circuit of op, a timing switch TS that controls the input integration time T8, and resets the integral value. has a reset switch R3, T8 and R8 are pulses P5. The one driven by P6 is illustrated. Further, the signal processing circuit 5 includes a microprocessor that performs digital calculations, as shown in FIG.
It may also be configured using 0. In FIG. 4, the output e of the integrator 39 is converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter 41 and given to the microprocessor 40. 4) A digital calculation corresponding to the formula is performed and a digital value corresponding to the flow rate component VIC is output, which is converted into an analog signal by the D/A converter 42 and held in the sample hold circuit 37, and the flow rate component VK is output to the output terminal. An example is shown that yields an associated output voltage eo. In FIG. 4, the integrator 39 applies the reference voltage 1 via the switch TSI driven by the pulse p7, and the A/D converter 4 integrates e over a certain period of time.
After converting the signal into a digital signal in step 1, the signal may be sent to a microprocessor 40 to perform span adjustment or the like. Furthermore, although the above example uses a rectangular wave as the excitation current, various waveforms may be used as necessary, such as a waveform obtained by converting the frequency of a trapezoidal liquid or a commercial AC power source and rectifying it after death. I can do it.
