Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water meters, in particular to a high-sensitivity backflow-proof water meter. Background Art
[0002] A water meter is an instrument that measures water flow, mostly the cumulative flow of water. It is generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. The shell of an existing water meter is generally marked with the direction of water flow. If the water meter is installed in this direction, the pointer of the water meter counter rotates clockwise to count correctly.
[0003] Existing water meters can measure residents' water use. However, when the faucet is turned off or the equipment fails, water will flow back in the water meter. The backflow of water causes the impeller in the water meter to rotate unnecessary, resulting in inaccurate counting of the water meter, affecting the value of the water meter, and causing the sensitivity and stability of the water meter to decrease, which needs to be improved.
