Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a fluid flow test cup. Background Technology

[0002] Accurate measurement of fluid flow is crucial in industries, agriculture, domestic water use, and scientific research. Measuring fluid flow helps users understand water usage, optimize water resource allocation, and improve water use efficiency. It also provides vital data support for the operation and maintenance of related equipment. However, existing fluid flow measurement tools have some shortcomings in practical use.

[0003] Complex measurement equipment: Traditional fluid flow measurement typically requires complex equipment, such as electromagnetic flow meters, turbine flow meters, or ultrasonic flow meters. While these devices offer high measurement accuracy, they are complex in structure, expensive, and require professional installation and commissioning, making them unsuitable for simple field testing or everyday use scenarios.

[0004] Poor portability: Many fluid flow measurement devices are bulky and inconvenient to carry, making them difficult to use quickly in outdoor or field environments. For example, in agricultural irrigation, farmers need to quickly understand the flow rate of irrigation water, but traditional measurement devices cannot meet this immediate need.

[0005] Cumbersome to operate: Most existing fluid flow measurement tools require connection to a power source or complex piping systems, making the operation cumbersome and requiring certain professional knowledge and skills. For ordinary users, they are not convenient to use and are difficult to master quickly.

[0006] Lack of intuitiveness: Most fluid flow measurement devices only provide digital or electronic signal outputs, lacking an intuitive way to display flow. Users find it difficult to understand changes in flow through simple visual observation, especially in scenarios without specialized equipment. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fluid flow test cup that is easy to carry, simple to operate, and can intuitively monitor fluid flow.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a fluid flow test cup, comprising:

[0009] A cylindrical transparent cup for receiving and measuring fluid, wherein a first outlet is provided at the bottom of the cup, and the first outlet extends in an arc with the center of the bottom of the cup as the center;

[0010] A baffle is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cup body with the center of the bottom of the cup body as the center. A second outlet is opened on the baffle at the position corresponding to the first outlet. The second outlet extends in an arc with the center of the bottom of the cup body as the center, and the shape of the second outlet is adapted to the shape of the first outlet, so as to adjust the overlapping area between the second outlet and the first outlet by rotating the baffle relative to each other, thereby changing the size of the total outlet that allows the fluid in the cup body to flow out.

[0011] A pointer is disposed on the outer periphery of the cup body, with one end extending along the axial direction of the cup body and the other end fixed to the baffle, so that the pointer can rotate relative to the cup body with the baffle. A first scale for characterizing the flow rate of fluid flowing out of the total outlet is provided on the outer periphery of the cup body, and the layout range of the first scale corresponds to the variation range of the overlapping area.

[0012] A waterproof strip is attached to the bottom of the cup body and slides against the baffle. The waterproof strip is positioned around the edge of the first outlet to prevent fluid from leaking between the bottom of the cup body and the baffle.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model fluid flow test cup is that a handle is connected to one side of the cup body.

[0014] A further improvement of this utility model fluid flow test cup is that an anti-slip pad is connected to the handle.

[0015] A further improvement of this utility model fluid flow test cup is that a second scale for observing water level is provided on the cup body along the axial direction.

[0016] A further improvement of this utility model fluid flow test cup is that the inner peripheral wall and bottom wall of the cup body are connected with a velvet cloth for preventing fluid from splashing out. The velvet cloth has a through hole at the position corresponding to the first outlet, and the shape of the through hole is adapted to the shape of the first outlet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] Simply align the cup opening with the fluid to be measured, rotate the baffle to adjust the overlapping area of ​​the first and second outlets, and then adjust the size of the total outlet that allows the fluid to flow out of the cup until the water level in the cup is in dynamic equilibrium. At this point, the flow rate of the fluid in the cup is the same as the flow rate of the fluid to be measured. Simply observe the scale on the first scale that the pointer points to at this time to obtain the flow rate of the fluid to be measured. The operation is simple and can intuitively monitor the fluid flow rate, thus improving efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The fluid flow test cup of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 Fluid flow test cup, including:

[0027] A cylindrical transparent cup 1 for receiving and measuring fluid has a first outlet 5 at its bottom, which extends in an arc shape with the center of the bottom of the cup 1 as the center.

[0028] A baffle 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cup body 1 with the center of the bottom as the center. A second outlet 6 is provided on the baffle 4 at the position corresponding to the first outlet 5. The second outlet 6 extends in an arc shape with the center of the bottom of the cup body 1 as the center, and the shape of the second outlet 6 is adapted to the shape of the first outlet 5, so as to adjust the overlapping area between the second outlet 6 and the first outlet 5 by rotating the baffle 4 relative to each other, thereby changing the size of the total outlet that allows the fluid in the cup body 1 to flow out.

[0029] A pointer 7 is located on the outer periphery of the cup body 1, with one end extending along the axial direction of the cup body 1 and the other end fixed to the baffle 4, so that the pointer 7 can rotate with the baffle 4 relative to the cup body 1. A first scale 3 for characterizing the flow rate of fluid flowing out of the total outlet is provided on the outer periphery of the cup body 1, and the layout range of the first scale 3 corresponds to the variation range of the overlapping area.

[0030] A waterproof strip is attached to the bottom of the cup body 1 and slides against the baffle 4. The waterproof strip is positioned to surround the edge of the first outlet 5 to prevent fluid from leaking between the bottom of the cup body 1 and the baffle 4.

[0031] The size of the main outlet is adjusted by rotating the baffle 4. When the first outlet 5 and the second outlet 6 are completely misaligned, the main outlet is closed and the flow rate of the fluid in the cup 1 is 0. When the first outlet 5 and the second outlet 6 are completely aligned, the main outlet is in its maximum state and the flow rate of the fluid in the cup 1 is at its maximum value.

[0032] Specifically, the baffle 4 can rotate relative to the waterproof strip. When rotating the baffle 4, it is necessary to overcome the static friction between the baffle 4 and the waterproof strip.

[0033] By setting this waterproof strip, fluid inside the cup body 1 is prevented from seeping between the cup body 1 and the baffle 4, thereby improving the sealing performance between the two and increasing the detection accuracy.

[0034] Preferably, a handle 2 is attached to one side of the cup body 1.

[0035] By setting this grip 2, it is easier for construction personnel to hold when measuring flow rate, thus improving practicality.

[0036] Preferably, the grip 2 is equipped with an anti-slip pad.

[0037] By setting this grip 2, it is easier for construction personnel to hold when measuring flow rate, thus improving practicality.

[0038] Preferably, the cup body 1 is provided with a second scale along the axial direction for observing the water level.

[0039] By setting this second scale, it is easy to intuitively monitor whether the water level in the cup 1 is in dynamic balance.

[0040] Preferably, the inner peripheral wall and bottom wall of the cup body 1 are connected with a velvet cloth to prevent fluid from splashing out. The velvet cloth has a through hole at the position corresponding to the first outlet 5, and the shape of the through hole is adapted to the shape of the first outlet 5.

[0041] By incorporating this velvet cloth, the fluid being tested is prevented from splashing out of the cup 1 as soon as it enters the cup 1, thus improving its practicality.

[0042] A fluid flow rate detection method: Provide the above-mentioned fluid flow rate test cup; align the mouth of the cup body 1 with the fluid to be tested, rotate the baffle 4 to adjust the area of ​​the total outlet, and thereby adjust the flow rate of the fluid in the cup body 1 until the water level in the cup body 1 is dynamically balanced. At this time, the flow rate of the fluid in the cup body 1 is the same as the flow rate of the fluid to be tested. The flow rate of the fluid to be tested can be obtained by observing the scale on the first scale 3 pointed to by the pointer 7 at this time.

[0043] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance.
