摘要: THE PRESENT INVENTION DEALS WITH AN IMPROVED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING FLOW IN AN INTRAVENOUS FEEDING SYST EM OR OTHER FLUID FLOW SYSTEM CHARACTERIZED BY ITS LOW FLOW RATE. THE INVENTION UTILIZES THE TRANSIT TIME OR OSCILLATORY FREQUENCY OF A BALL OF FLOAT WHICH MOVES ALONG THE DIRECTION OF FLUID FLOW AND IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BY ACTUATING A MAGNETIC RETURN SYSTEM AS ITS BREAKS A LIGHT BEAM OR OTHER SENSING SYSTEM. THE CYCLE IS REPEATED, WITH THE TRANSIT TIME OR OSCILLATORY FREQUENCY BEING RELATED TO RATE OR FLUID FLOW, AND THUS SERVING TO INDICATE SAME FOR CONTROL PURPOSES. THE FLOW TUBE BALL MEASURING UNIT PREFERABLY TAKES THE FORM OF A DISPOSABLE AND PREFERABLY STERILE INSERT INTO AN INTERVENOUS FEEDING SYSTEM.

摘要: A flow meter comprises a conduit adapted to conduct a flow of a fluid, a stop in the conduit, and a body that is movably received in the conduit, is normally kept in engagement with the stop by the fluid flow, and has at least a portion of a magnetically responsive material. An electromagnet is located outside the conduit in a position upstream from the stop, relative to the direction of the fluid flow, and has its poles located such as to impose a magnetic force on the magnetically responsive material of the body when it is energized. A ramp current generator energizes the electromagnet so as to progressively increase the magnetic force that it produces until the magnetic force is sufficient to move the body against the fluid flow and attract the body to a position between the poles. A multi-turn sensor coil or a magnetic field sensor detects changes in the magnetic flux field of the electromagnet when the body moves away from the stop and toward the electromagnet and outputs a sensing signal, which in turn initiates the capture of a measurement of the current that resulted in attraction of the body away from the stop against the force of the fluid flow.

摘要: The present invention deals with an improved method and apparatus for measuring flow in fluid flow systems characterized by low flow rate. The invention utilizes the transit time or oscillatory frequency of a ball or float which moves along the direction of fluid flow and is returned to its original position by actuating a magnetic return system as it breaks a light beam or other sensing system. The cycle is repeated, with the transit time or oscillatory frequency being related to rate of fluid flow, and thus serving to indicate same for control purposes. The flow tube-ball measuring unit may take the form of a disposable insert into the flow measuring system.
