Combined with the HMI interface of the instrument control cabinet, it can simultaneously conduct centrifugal pump characteristic experiments, smooth pipe, rough pipe, local resistance pipe, laminar flow and other pipeline characteristic experiments, optimizing the layout and enabling convenient operation.
[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The instrument control cabinet 11 of this device includes a cabinet body. The front of the cabinet includes an HMI touchscreen mounting area, a button mounting area, and a safety notice area. The HMI touchscreen mounting area is used to mount the HMI touchscreen 8. The button mounting area, located below the HMI touchscreen mounting area, is used to install buttons such as the power button, power button, and emergency stop button 9. The safety notice area is used to post notices of precautions during the experiment. A voice announcer is also installed on the cabinet body. This voice announcer is electrically connected to the HMI touchscreen 8 and is used to announce precautions and abnormal situations during the experiment. Through the emergency stop button and the voice announcer, experimenters can promptly detect faults or abnormalities and quickly stop the experiment.
[0033] Next to the instrument control cabinet 11 is the specific experimental device. The frame 16 of the experimental device is made of aluminum alloy, and the bottom of the frame 16 is equipped with pulleys and restraining feet. The frame is 2600mm long, 600mm wide, and 1750mm high.
[0034] Within this framework, experimental components for centrifugal pump characteristics, straight pipe resistance characteristics, local resistance characteristics, and laminar flow pipeline characteristics are installed. The centrifugal pump characteristic experimental component includes a water tank 15, a centrifugal pump 14, an electromagnetic flowmeter 12, and a regulating valve 13. The water tank 15 is installed at the bottom of the frame 16.

The output end of the electromagnetic flowmeter 12 is connected to one end of the regulating valve 13, and the other end of the regulating valve 13 is connected to the water tank 15. This centrifugal pump can be a lightweight stainless steel centrifugal pump, and the flow rate in the pipeline is automatically regulated through the regulating valve.
[0035] During the centrifugal pump characteristic experiment, water from tank 15 is pumped by centrifugal pump 14. After the flow rate is detected by electromagnetic flowmeter 12, the flow rate is adjusted by regulating valve 13 before returning to tank 15. During this process, the inlet and outlet pressures, flow rates, speeds, and power of centrifugal pump 14 are recorded to calculate the centrifugal pump characteristics.
[0036] The straight pipe resistance characteristic test assembly includes a water tank 15, a centrifugal pump 14, an electromagnetic flowmeter 12, a smooth pipe 1, a rough pipe 2, and a differential pressure gauge. The input end of the centrifugal pump 14 is connected to the water tank 15, and the output end of the centrifugal pump 14 is connected to the input end of the electromagnetic flowmeter 12. The output end of the electromagnetic flowmeter 12 is connected to one end of the smooth pipe 1 and / or one end of the rough pipe 2, and the other end of the smooth pipe 1 and / or the other end of the rough pipe 2 is connected to the water tank 15. A differential pressure gauge is installed on the smooth pipe 1 and / or the rough pipe 2.

[0037] During the straight pipe resistance characteristic experiment, a centrifugal pump is used to transport water from tank 15. After the flow rate is detected by electromagnetic flowmeter 12, the water is transported to either smooth pipe 1 or rough pipe 2. The pressure difference in the measured section is then detected, and the water is returned to the tank. By using a frequency converter for the centrifugal pump, automatic adjustment of the pipe flow rate can be achieved.
[0038] The experimental components for local resistance characteristics include a water tank 15, a centrifugal pump 14, an electromagnetic flowmeter 12, a local resistance pipe-stop valve 3, and a local resistance pipe-gate valve 4; wherein, the local resistance pipe-stop valve 3 refers to a local resistance pipeline with a stop valve; and the local resistance pipe-gate valve 4 refers to a local resistance pipeline with a gate valve.

[0040] During the local resistance characteristic experiment, a centrifugal pump is used to transport water from tank 15. After the flow rate is detected by electromagnetic flowmeter 12, the water is transported to the local resistance pipe-stop valve 3 or the local resistance pipe-gate valve 4. The pipeline pressure difference in the measurement section is detected, and then the water is returned to the tank. By using a frequency converter for the centrifugal pump, the pipeline flow rate can be automatically adjusted.
[0041] The laminar flow pipeline characteristic experimental assembly includes a water tank 15, a centrifugal pump 14, an elevated water tank 18, a rotor flowmeter 6, and a metering water tank 7. The input end of the centrifugal pump 14 is connected to the water tank 15, and the output end of the centrifugal pump 14 is connected to the input end of the elevated water tank 18. The output end of the elevated water tank 18 is connected to the input end of the metering water tank 7 through a pipeline, and the output end of the metering water tank 7 is connected to the water tank 15. The rotor flowmeter 6 is installed on the output pipeline of the elevated water tank 18.
[0042] During the laminar flow pipeline characteristic experiment, centrifugal pump 14 is used to directly transport water from water tank 15 to elevated water tank 18, which then transports the water into the laminar flow pipe. After the flow rate is detected by rotor flowmeter 6, it is corrected by metering water tank 7 before returning to the water tank. This pipeline is made of transparent material, allowing for Reynolds experiments.
[0043] The connections of the various components in the above-mentioned experimental setup are primarily via pipelines. Considering the diverse functions of the device, the pipelines are designed with movable connections to facilitate extended experiments such as flowmeter calibration. For experiments involving differential pressure measurement, a row of differential pressure gauge valves 17 is installed for convenient control, allowing for centralized arrangement and control of the valves for ease of operation.
