A water meter is an instrument that we often come into contact with in our daily lives, used to measure the water usage in our homes or units, which brings us a lot of convenience. The internal structure of a water meter can be divided into three main parts: measuring mechanism, driving mechanism, and meter case. Next, let's take a closer look at the internal structure of a water meter.
Firstly, there is the measuring institution: the measuring institution is the core part of the water meter, mainly responsible for measuring the water flow, usually including water wheels, speed gears, sensors, and measuring discs. After the water enters the water meter from the inlet, the tiny water wheel begins to rotate. The speed of the water wheel's rotation is proportional to the water flow rate, and then it is transmitted to the measuring plate through the speed gear, thus completing the measurement of water.
Next is the driving mechanism: the driving mechanism is the source of driving force for the water meter and the power source for the measuring mechanism, mainly including steel wire rope, adjusting handle, needle valve, universal joint, etc. The steel wire rope is a key component that connects the driving head of the water meter and the measuring mechanism. By adjusting the handle, it drives the rotation of the steel wire rope, thereby causing the measuring plate of the water meter to rotate and achieving water measurement.
Finally, there is the case: The case is the outer shell part of the water meter, mainly protecting the internal measuring and driving mechanisms of the water meter from external environmental damage, while also playing a beautiful and easy to install role. There is usually a reading device on the case to display the flow rate being calculated by the water meter and the current total flow rate.
Although the internal structure of a water meter may seem complex, each component has its own function, and these components work closely together to form a precise water meter. We should pay attention to keeping the water meter dry and clean during normal use, in order to extend its lifespan and provide convenient services for our daily life.
