Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of testing equipment, and in particular to an electromagnetic starting testing equipment for a water meter counter. Background Art

[0002] The water meter counter is an important part of the water meter, which is used to record and display the amount of water used by the user, and provide a basis for the fee settlement between the water supply company and the user. Traditional water meters usually use mechanical counters, which record water consumption through the mechanical transmission of gears and counters. The counter is connected to the impeller gear in the water meter. The water flow drives the impeller to rotate, and the impeller gear drives the counter to count.

[0003] The counter needs to be started up after production. Generally, the accuracy of the counter is fed back by driving the counter to reach the minimum water flow at a certain speed. The smaller the water flow is to reach the speed required by the counter, the more sensitive the counter is, reflecting that the counting accuracy of the counter is higher.

[0004] The existing water meter counter starting test uses water flow to drive the impeller on the counter to rotate, and the driving force is adjusted by adjusting the flow rate of the test water flow to test the starting performance of different counters. However, the traditional testing method requires the construction of a sealed circulating water flow channel, and the test operation is relatively cumbersome, so further improvement is needed.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution and debugging the equipment, first use the counter that has passed the starting test (standard counter with qualified accuracy) to determine the distance between the stator coil and the magnetic ring, that is, the minimum magnetic force, corresponding to the minimum driving water flow of the traditional starting test, and record the detection distance of each specification of the standard counter;

[0009] During the test, the counter to be tested is placed in the positioning groove of the test carrier, and the magnetic ring on the impeller shaft is built into the detection hole. The driving mechanism drives the mobile platform to move to the standard position of the corresponding specification. After the stator coil is connected to three-phase alternating current, the stator coil generates a rotating magnetic field. At this time, the magnetic ring of the counter is subjected to the minimum starting magnetic force (corresponding to the minimum starting water flow). If the magnetic ring of the counter can reach the specified speed, it means that the accuracy of the counter meets the standard, otherwise it does not meet the standard.

[0021] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. During the test, the counter to be tested is placed in the positioning groove of the test platform, and the magnetic ring on the impeller shaft is built into the detection hole.
