Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flowmeters have fixed digital display panels, which can lead to inconvenient reading and recording due to varying installation positions, resulting in potential errors and operator fatigue.
Innovation Solution
A flowmeter with an adjustable digital display device that is rotatably connected to the casing, allowing the display direction to be adjusted to align with the operator, enhancing readability and reducing errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the digital display panel is fixedly connected on the flowmeter, then the structure is simple and stable, but the reading direction cannot be adjusted causing operator inconvenience and errors
Solution Approach 1:
The digital display device is made rotatable relative to the casing through a rotatable connection mechanism, allowing the display direction to be dynamically adjusted according to operator needs while maintaining structural stability. The display can rotate to different angles (e.g., 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to adapt to various installation positions and reading directions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the digital display device is rotatably connected to allow direction adjustment, then reading convenience is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The flowmeter is divided into separate functional modules: the casing, the digital display device, and the rotatable connection mechanism. This segmentation allows the display device to be independently adjusted without affecting the overall stability of the flowmeter, while keeping each component relatively simple in structure.
3Measurement precision
If the display direction is fixed according to installation position, then the structure is stable, but operator fatigue increases and recording errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The display orientation parameter can be changed by rotating the digital display device to different angles. This allows the display direction to be optimized for the operator's viewing comfort while maintaining accurate reading of flow data, eliminating the need to compromise between reading accuracy and operator comfort.

AI summary
A flowmeter with adjustable reading directions is provided, which includes a flowmeter main body, a casing and a digital display device. The casing is arranged at an outer side of the flowmeter main body; the digital display device is electrically connected with the flowmeter main body so as to read the numerical value of the flowmeter main body. The digital display device is rotatably connected on the casing to adjust the display direction of the numerical value in the digital display device. The digital display device is rotatably connected to the casing, so that the digital display device is equivalent to being indirectly arranged on the flowmeter main body, by rotating the digital display device, the digital display device can align with and face to the working personnel, such that it is convenient for the working personnel to read and record the numerical value.
