Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a magnetically coupled dynamic balancing impeller includes an impeller body 1, a magnetic steel 2, an upper bushing 3 and a lower bushing 4.

[0047] The magnetic coupling dynamic balancing impeller manufactured in this embodiment is used in a water meter, and its working environment is water at room temperature. The impeller body 1 of this embodiment is made of polypropylene injection molding.

[0048] The impeller body 1 comprises a support member 11, an annular fixing member 12, and an annular reinforcement member 14. A central hole 15 is provided on one end face of the impeller body 1, into which the lower bushing 4 is mounted. A support member 11 is provided on one end face of the impeller body 1, and is used to support the upper bushing 3. The annular fixing member 12 is positioned around the upper bushing 3 to wrap around and secure it. The upper bushing 3 is mounted within the space formed by the annular fixing member 12, with the end of the upper bushing 3 in contact with the support member 11.

[0049] The annular fixing member 12 is provided with a first groove 121, which connects the spaces inside and outside the annular fixing member 12. When installed in water, water flows through the first groove 121 and fills the space inside the annular fixing member 12. The support member 11 is located at the center of the annular fixing member 12. A plurality of first reinforcing ribs 18 are radially arranged between the support member 11 and the annular fixing member 12. The first reinforcing ribs 18 are provided with second grooves 181, which connect the spaces on either side of the first reinforcing ribs 18. This allows water to flow between the spaces divided by the first reinforcing ribs 18. The annular reinforcement member 14 is coaxially disposed outside the annular fixing member 12. A plurality of second reinforcing ribs 15 are disposed between the annular fixing member 12 and the annular reinforcement member 14. The support member 11, first reinforcing ribs 18, annular fixing member 12, second reinforcing ribs 15, and annular reinforcement member 14 form a honeycomb structure, which ensures sufficient structural strength while reducing the weight of the impeller body 1.

[0050] Two of the second reinforcing ribs 13 are provided with magnetic steel installation slots 131, and the magnetic steel 2 is installed in the magnetic steel installation slots 131. The magnetic steel is coupled with the magnet on the metering device in the water meter to transmit the water flow signal.

[0051] Six first through holes 16 and six second through holes 17 are interlaced between the two end surfaces of the impeller body 1. Each first through hole 16 corresponds to and partially connects with one of the second through holes 17. The first through holes 16 and the second through holes 17 form a stepped surface. The counterweight 5 is mounted in the space where the first and second through holes 16 and 17 intersect. A boss 161 is provided on the inner wall of the first through hole 16, and the boss 161 cooperates with the stepped surface to secure the counterweight 5.

[0052] The counterweight 5 is used to adjust the weight of the magnetically coupled dynamic balancing impeller so that the magnetically coupled dynamic balancing impeller can be suspended in water. Assuming that the number of counterweights is n, in this embodiment n=6, the weight of each counterweight is calculated as follows:

[0053] W 配重 =(V 总 *ρ 测量介质 -W 总 +F 磁 )*ρ 配重 / n(ρ 配重 -ρ 测量介质 )

[0054] V 总 =V 叶轮本体 +V 磁钢 +V 上衬套 +V 下衬套

[0055] W 总 =W叶轮本体 +W 磁钢 +W 上衬套 +W 下衬套

[0056] F 磁 ≈B 2 ·A / 2·μ0·d

[0057] Where W 配重 is the weight of each counterweight; V 叶轮本体 is the volume of the impeller body; V 磁钢 is the volume of the magnet; V 上衬套 + is the volume of the upper bushing; V 下衬套 is the volume of the lower bushing; W 叶轮本体 is the weight of the impeller body; W 磁钢 is the weight of the magnet; W 上衬套 + is the weight of the upper bushing; W 下衬套 is the weight of the lower bushing; ρ 测量介质 is the density of the measuring medium; ρ 配重 is the density of the counterweight; F 磁 is the magnetic attraction; B is the magnetic field strength, A is the pole area, μ0 is the magnetic permeability in vacuum, and d is the distance between the magnet and the magnet it is coupled to.

[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
