Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of turbidity meters, in particular to a turbidity meter. Background Art

[0002] Turbidimeters are used in water production and treatment plants before and after filtration, during sedimentation and at the outlet of the water plant, as well as municipal pipe network water, industrial process water quality testing, circulating cooling water, activated carbon filter effluent, membrane filtration effluent, and other occasions where there are certain requirements for turbidity in the water and testing is required.

[0003] However, the existing turbidity meter has suspended objects (such as leaves, anaerobic sludge accumulated in pipes, foam plastic particles, etc.) in the water sample to be tested. Such suspended solids will float on the surface of the water sample to be tested and cannot flow out of the entire measurement process through the overflow port. Once a long time has passed, the suspended matter will block the incident light source and the water sample, causing the turbidity meter measurement value to be lower than the actual turbidity of the water sample, and the measurement effect cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the existing turbidity meter has substances with good sedimentation performance (such as sand, small stones, aquatic organisms, etc.) in the water sample to be tested. Such substances will gradually accumulate in the water inlet diversion trough, which will eventually cause blockage and overflow of the water sample as the running time increases, thereby damaging the electrical part of the turbidity meter. Summary of the invention

Such suspended solids will float on the surface of the water sample to be tested and cannot flow out of the entire measurement process through the overflow port. Once a long time has passed, the suspended matter will be blocked between the incident light source and the water sample, resulting in the turbidity meter measuring value being lower than the actual turbidity of the water sample, and the measurement effect cannot be guaranteed. In addition, substances with good sedimentation performance (such as sand, small stones, aquatic organisms, etc.) appear in the water sample to be tested by the existing turbidity meter. Such substances will gradually accumulate in the water inlet diversion groove, which will eventually cause blockage and overflow of the water sample as the running time increases, thereby damaging the electrical part of the turbidity meter.

[0030] In this embodiment, through this design, when the rotating rod 903 is driven, it can rotate with the valve plate 905 on the inner side of the pipe 15, thereby opening and closing the valve inside the pipe 15, and the fixed rods 904 on both sides of the rotating rod 903 play a role of firmly supporting the valve plate 905, thereby increasing the firmness and service life of the valve plate.

[0031] The lower end of the rotating rod 903 is movably connected to the driving shaft 902 , and the lower end of the driving shaft 902 is fixedly connected to the wiring port 901 , so that the driving shaft 902 and the rotating rod 903 are in a matching relationship.

[0032] In this embodiment, through this design, when the automatic switch 1101 is closed, the wiring port 901 will be energized, causing the drive shaft 902 to rotate, and the drive shaft 902 and the rotating rod 903 are in a matching relationship, so that the drive shaft 902 can better drive the rotating rod 903, and is less likely to have jamming and delays, thereby increasing the timeliness of the command.
