Rotary Flow Meter Working Principle
The measuring chamber of the three-rotor flowmeter consists of a cylindrical cavity and three rotors that rotate synchronously. The three rotors are installed in the cylindrical rotor chamber. The leak-proof rotor gear is installed at the end of the leak-proof rotor, and the displacement rotor gear is installed at the end of the displacement rotor. Through such a gear rotation structure, the three rotors can keep rotating synchronously.
The number of teeth of the leak-proof rotor gear is twice the number of teeth of the rotor gear for each displacement. Therefore, the rotation speed of the leak-proof rotor is half the rotation speed of the rotor for each displacement.
When the fluid flows into the measurement chamber, the three rotors rotate synchronously. The fluid is divided into three parts by the three rotors. As the rotor rotates, the fluid in the measuring chamber moves simultaneously until it is discharged.
Since the volume of the measuring chamber is known, the same volume of fluid is discharged every time the rotor rotates. By measuring the number of rotations of the leak-proof rotor, the flow rate of the fluid passing through the measuring chamber can be accurately measured.
The rotation of the leak-proof rotor is transmitted to the counter through the gears on its rotating shaft and other transmission shafts for counting and outputs a standard pulse signal.
