[0025] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a pressure-resistant and stable rotating elliptical gear flowmeter, including a connecting shell 1, two inner holes 2 are symmetrically opened in the connecting shell 1, a flow shell 3 is installed on the top surface of the connecting shell 1, a cavity groove 4 is opened in the center of the flow shell 3, a flow component is arranged in the cavity groove 4, and the flow component includes an elliptical gear 7, the cavity groove 4 is arranged in a cross shape, and two mutually meshing elliptical gears 7 are arranged in the cavity groove 4. The elliptical gear 7 rotates around the mounting shaft 8, and the mounting shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity groove 4. Two through holes 9 are symmetrically opened in the cavity groove 4, and the two through holes 9 are respectively arranged to be concentrically connected with the upper parts of the two inner holes 2;

[0027] In the technical solution of this embodiment, two elliptical gears 7 are meshed and rotated with each other, and the rotation of the elliptical gears 7 is used for non-contact scanning, generating a pulse every half turn, with very high resolution. The elliptical gear 7 transmitter can measure very small flow rates and quantitatively measure small volumes of liquid with high flow accuracy;

[0028] Furthermore, the top surface of the connecting housing 1 is flat, with two "L-shaped" symmetrical inner holes 2 on the left and right.
