Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ultrasonic flow rate measuring device includes a flow path, a partition plate that is inserted from an aperture to partition the flow path into plural sections, an ultrasound transmission body, plural ultrasonic transducers that are provided in positions facing a bottom plate such that an ultrasonic wave transmitted from one of the ultrasonic transducers through the ultrasound transmission body is reflected by the bottom plate and received by the other ultrasonic transducer, a measurement circuit that measures an ultrasonic propagation time between the plurality of the ultrasonic transducers; and a calculation circuit that obtains a flow rate of the target fluid based on a signal from the measurement circuit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An ultrasonic flow rate measuring device comprising: a flow path in which a target fluid flows, the flow path including a first sidewall that is provided along a flow direction of the target fluid, a second sidewall that is disposed facing the first sidewall, a bottom plate that extends from a bottom of the first sidewall to a bottom of the second sidewall, an upper wall unit that connects an upper portion of the first sidewall and an upper portion of…
