연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A fluid metering device may meter the flow of fluid. The device may have a main chamber and a piston configured and oriented to reciprocate within the main chamber. The piston may be configured and oriented to define a first and a second sub-chamber whose volumes vary inversely as a function of the position of the piston during its reciprocation. The fluid metering device may have a first inlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid into the first sub-chamber, a first outlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid out of the first sub-chamber, a second inlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid into the second sub-chamber, and a second outlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid out of the second sub-chamber. A valve controller may be configured to control each of the values in a manner that causes fluid to flow through the each of the sub-chambers at an average rate that substantially tracks a control signal which is delivered to the valve controller.

1. A fluid metering device for metering the flow of fluid comprising: a main chamber;a piston configured and oriented to reciprocate within the main chamber and to define a first and a second sub-chamber whose volumes vary inversely as a function of the position of the piston during its reciprocation;a first inlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid into the first sub-chamber;a first outlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid out of the first sub-chamber;a second inlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid into the second sub-chamber;a second outlet valve configured to controllably regulate the flow of fluid out of the second sub-chamber;one or more sensors configured to provide feedback indicative of the position of the piston within the chamber; anda valve controller connected to each of the valves and configured to control each of the valves in a manner that causes fluid to flow through the each of the sub-chambers at an average rate that substantially tracks a control signal which is delivered to the valve controller, wherein the valve controller is configured to control each of the valves based on the feedback provided by the one or more sensors,wherein: the valve controller is configured to cycle between:a first phase during which the first inlet valve and the second outlet valve are open and the second inlet valve and the first outlet valve are closed; anda second phase during which the second inlet valve and the first outlet valve are open and the first inlet valve and the second outlet valve are closed; andthe valve controller is configured to cause the period of the phases to be sufficient to enable: the first sub-chamber to completely fill with fluid during the first phase; andthe second sub-chamber to completely fill with fluid during the second phase; andthe valve controller is configured to cause fluid to flow through each of the sub-chambers at the average rate by extending the period of: the first phase after the first sub-chamber has completely filled with fluid by an amount which is based on the control signal; orthe second phase after the second sub-chamber has completely filled with fluid by an amount which is based on the control signal, andwherein each of the sub-chambers and each of the controllable valves are configured to permit cementitious material to repeatedly flow through them while they are operating without causing a jam or damage to the device; andwherein each of the valves are configured to open by vibrating at least a portion of the valve and to close by not vibrating the portion of the valve. 2. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein the valve controller is configured to control each of the inlet valves in a manner that causes the average rate of fluid flow through the each of the sub-chambers not to vary as a function of changes in the pressure of the fluid at the inlet valves after the pressure exceeds a threshold amount. 3. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein the valve controller is configured not to open the inlet valves at the same time. 4. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein the valve controller is configured not to open the outlet valves at the same time. 5. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein the valve controller is configured to cause fluid to flow through each of the sub-chambers at the average rate by extending the period of the first phase after the first sub-chamber has completely filled with fluid and by extending the period of the second phase after the second sub-chamber has completely filled with fluid by an equal amount which is based on the control signal. 6. The fluid metering device of claim 1 further comprising a distribution inlet configured to distribute fluid entering the distribution inlet to the first and the second inlet valves. 7. The fluid metering device of claim 6 further comprising a consolidation outlet configure to consolidate the fluid from the first and second outlet valves into the consolidation outlet. 8. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein the piston is configured to substantially block the flow of fluid between the sub-chambers while reciprocating. 9. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein each of the valves are configured to operate only in a fully open or a fully closed mode. 10. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein each of the inlet valves are configured to operate in a fully open mode, a fully closed mode, and in at least one partially open mode. 11. The fluid metering device of claim 1 further comprising a vibration-absorbing gasket between each valve and its associated sub-chamber. 12. The fluid metering device of claim 1 further comprising a stop mechanism configured to limit the movement of the piston. 13. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein each of the sub-chambers are configured to substantially prevent fluid from entering the sub-chamber other than through its inlet valve and from leaving the sub-chamber other than through its outlet valve. 14. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein each of the sub-chambers and each of the valves are configured to permit an abrasive viscous fluid to repeatedly flow through them while they are operating without causing a jam or damage to the device. 15. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein the fluid metering device is configured to drive the piston only with the pressure of fluid in the sub-chambers. 16. The fluid metering device of claim 1 wherein: the piston is configured to reciprocate between two opposing ends of the main chamber;the one or more sensors are configured to detect when the piston has reached each opposing end of the main chamber; andthe controller is configured to control each of the valves based on the feedback from the one or more sensors so as to cause the piston to fully reciprocate between each opposing end of the main chamber.
