How does a tipping bucket stainless steel rain gauge work?

The tipping bucket rain gauge working principle is counting the number of times the tipping bucket falls. The tipping bucket is made of stainless steel and divided into two half-cone chambers with equal volume by a partition in the middle. It is a mechanical bistable structure. When one chamber receives water, the other chamber is waiting. When it rains, the rainwater collected by the water receiving port enters the metering bucket through the funnel. When the volume of the received rainwater reaches the predetermined value of 0.2mm, the chamber will overturn due to gravity and be waiting, and the other chamber will be in a state of receiving water. When the water receiving volume reaches the predetermined value, the bucket will overturn again and be waiting. Magnetic steel is installed on the sidewall of the tipping bucket, which scans from the side of the dry reed tube when the tipping bucket flips to make the dry reed tube on and off. That is, every time the tipping bucket is overturned, the dry reed tube will be switched on and send out a pulse or 485 signal. This is the working principle of the stainless steel tipping bucket rain gauge.

Best rain gauge on the market is Renke brand

Made of all stainless steel materials to avoid rainwater retention and reduce errors. There is a stainless steel filter on the top, and the filter in the barrel can effectively prevent the interference of impurities and make the measurement more accurate.

The tipping bucket of the rain gauge is a three-dimensional streamlined design and is designed with a drooping curved diversion tip, which has a beautiful and smooth appearance, better turning performance, and easy cleaning and maintenance.

The tipping bucket of the rain gauge is equipped with constant magnetic steel, and the reed tube bracket is equipped with a reed tube. When the instrument leaves the factory, both the magnetic steel and the reed tube have been adjusted at the appropriate coupling distance, so that the output signal of the instrument and the number of flipping bucket flips are determined.

When the rain gauge leaves the factory, the tipping bucket inclination adjustment screw has been locked at the best inclination base point position and the inclination screw has been sealed with red paint. When installing the instrument on-site, the user only needs to level the entire instrument according to the relevant requirements of this manual. The bubble can be put into use after adjusting it to the center position, and there is no need to adjust the tilt angle of the bucket on site.

About rain gauge maintenance?

  • Rain gauge is outdoors for a long time and the use environment is very harsh. Therefore, the inner wall of the drain hole should be wiped with a soft cloth frequently to keep the rain hole clean. If there are foreign objects such as leaves in the drain hole, it should be cleaned in time to keep the waterway unblocked. If the rain gauge is not used for a long time, a cover should be placed on the ring mouth of the instrument to protect the rain mouth.
  • Rain gauge is usually cleaned once a month for long-term work, and once every three months.
  • The tipping bucket is a key component of the rain gauge, which directly affects the measurement accuracy of the instrument. Over time, a little dust or oil will be deposited on the inner wall of the tipping bucket. Therefore, the tipping bucket should be cleaned. When cleaning, the inner wall of the tipping bucket can be repeatedly rinsed with clean water or gently brushed.
