  • Flow rate-measuring device
    Patent number: 7302862
    Abstract: A flow sensor 22 is provided on a wall surface of a flow path 4 in which a fluid to be measured. A member having minimal cross-section flow path 17 which has a diameter extremely smaller than that of the flow path 4 where the flow sensor 22 is provided is disposed at the downstream of the flow sensor 22.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2007
    Assignee: Omron Corporation

  • Rectifier unit and rectifier attaching structure
    Patent number: 6952960
    Abstract: A spacer has an annular concave portion, at one end face, to accept a rectifier that rectifies fluid flowing through a flow channel in a flowmeter, a protruding annular convex portion, at the other end face, of a size to fit in the annular concave portion, and fixing means, on an outer surface, for fixing the spacer to a tube of the flow channel through engagement. A rectifier unit is temporarily assembled by integrating the spacer and the rectifier that are provided alternately in series in an axial direction into a tubular unit. It is thus possible to achieve efficient assembly, by which plural rectifiers are inserted and attached inside the tube through a single insertion operation. Moreover, it is possible to address a need for a reduction of rectifiers in size or a change to the specifications regarding the number of rectifiers to be provided.
