A propagation time TO is finally obtained by subtracting time Δt which is measured by the second counter and passes from the end point until the first counter counts up, from time T which is measured by the first counter and passes from a starting point until the first counter counts up after the end point. A flow calculating section calculates a flow with high accuracy using the propagation time TO. Thus, lower electric power consumption can be achieved, and accuracy of measurement of flow can be improved.

摘要: In a flow meter device of the present invention, a unit measuring step is defined as a procedure for measuring ultrasonic sound wave propagation times by changing the direction in which an ultrasonic sound wave is transmitted and received between a first transducer (2) and a second transducer (3), and a time measuring means (12) measures a propagation time in a forward direction and a propagation time in a reverse direction in a unit measuring step. A time difference detecting means (16) detects a difference between the propagation time in the forward direction and the propagation time in the reverse direction which are measured by the time measuring means (12). A determiner means (17) determines whether or not there is a fluid flow based on the time difference. According to presence/absence of a fluid flow, the number of times the unit measuring step is performed is determined. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not there is a fluid flow quickly in real time. A responsiveness can be improved such that a measuring method can be switched to correspond to presence/absence of a fluid flow.

摘要: A measurement control section comprises a time measuring section for controlling an operation of measuring a travel time of an ultrasonic wave. The measurement control section operations, based on a high rate clock signal supplied from a ceramic oscillation circuit during the time measuring operation. A clock control section stops the high rate clock signal supplied from the ceramic oscillation circuit every time when the time measuring section completes its time measuring operation, and uses a low rate clock signal supplied from a quartz oscillation circuit to count a standby time between the end of measuring the travel time and the start of carrying out the next measuring operation.

摘要: A safety control apparatus positively discriminates between an object and a person through the detection of subtle physical movement corresponding to the heart activity and the breathing unique to the life activity of the human body from a output signal of a vibration sensor disposed on a seat so as to accurately decide whether or not a person is present. The maintenance of the safe operation of the moving vehicle can be realized. The starting of the moving vehicle is inhibited if the reserved seat is determined to be unoccupied in accordance with the decision result. In the case where the person is present, the moving of the vehicle is not started before the engagement of the seat belt has been detected.

摘要: To find the propagation time of an ultrasonic wave, a difference occurs between the waveforms received upstream and downstream in a portion where the reception amplitude is comparatively large and it is prevented from being detected as an error of the propagation time. A reception signal is amplified in a reception unit 35 and reception point storage units 38 store the most recent reception point data in a plurality of storage sections in order until the signal level becomes a predetermined value (Vref). An average value of the two zero crossing points before and after the signal level becomes Vref can be adopted as a reception point, the propagation time with a small error of up and down offset, etc., is measured, and it is made possible to realize power saving operation by shortening the measurement time.

摘要: An ultrasonic flowmeter includes a transmission/reception means provided in a flow path for performing transmission/reception using a state change of fluid; repetition means for repeating the transmission/reception; time measurement means for measuring a time of propagation repeated by the repetition means; flow rate detection means for detecting a flow rate based on a value of the time measurement means; and number-of-times change means for changing to a predetermined number of repetition times. With such a structure, an influence caused by a variation of a flow can be suppressed by changing the number of repetition times so as to be suitable for a variation. As a result, reliable flow rate measurement with a high accuracy can be achieved.
