Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water meters, in particular to a single-flow meter with a rotatable movement. Background Art
[0002] Existing technical solutions: Small-caliber mechanical water meters are divided into velocity type and volumetric type. In our country, rotor type water meters are the main type. Rotor type water meters are a type of velocity type water meters and are the most commonly used water meter type in the world. In the national standard, velocity type water meters are defined as "a type of water meter installed in a closed pipe, composed of a power element, and directly moved by the water flow velocity". When water flows through the water meter, it drives the impeller (rotor or propeller) to rotate, and the flow velocity of the water flow is proportional to the speed of the impeller. Since the cross-sectional area of the nozzle at the impeller driven by the water flow is a constant, the speed of the impeller is also proportional to the flow rate. The counting mechanism is connected to the counting mechanism through the linkage component on the impeller shaft, so that the counting mechanism accumulates the number of revolutions of the impeller (rotor or propeller), thereby recording the amount of water passing through the water meter. The rotor multi-jet water meter consists of a case, a middle cover, a table glass, a sealing gasket, a metering mechanism, a counting mechanism and a water filter. After the water flow hits the impeller, the impeller starts to rotate, and the number of revolutions is accumulated through the counting mechanism, which records and displays the amount of water passing through the water meter.
[0003] For example, authorization announcement number CN 101788316, an angular water meter, includes an angular water meter base, a water surface cover, a water meter cumulative indicating device, a valve control motor, an inlet valve, a dedicated stepper motor for a water meter pointer, a water volume sampling unit, a ZigBee antenna, a wireless single-chip microcomputer and a pipeline impeller generator, wherein a battery box is installed on the water inlet pipe side, and a water inlet valve is installed on the water outlet pipe side; the water meter cumulative indicating device includes a water meter scale panel, a dedicated stepper motor for a water meter pointer, and an indicator light; the key point is that the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe on the water meter base form a 90° right angle to each other, and all use a scale pointer to indicate the cumulative water consumption; the water meter has a built-in wireless single-chip microcomputer and a controllable water inlet valve, and is a wireless water meter node based on ZigBee wireless communication technology, which is particularly suitable for automatic meter reading and water pipe use in small-sized communities.

In some manufacturers' meters, the dial rotates but the movement does not rotate with it, which will mislead the meter reader and affect the accuracy of meter reading.
