Introduction to Optical Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge
Definition and Function
The optical tipping bucket rain gauge is an intelligent transmitter that integrates rainfall and light measurement, and plays an important role in the field of meteorological monitoring. It can observe rainfall in real time and convert rainfall into digital information output in the form of switch quantity to meet the needs of information transmission, processing, recording and display.
Working Principle
The rain gauge uses a high-precision photosensitive sensor inside to achieve real-time and accurate monitoring of rainfall through the principle of optical sensing. Its unique tipping bucket design can effectively capture every rainfall and convert it into accurate data.
Advantages compared with other rain gauges
Compared with traditional mechanical rain sensors
Optical rain sensors are smaller, more sensitive and reliable, providing a new solution for accurate measurement of rainfall. Traditional mechanical rain sensors are relatively weak in these aspects.
Compared with traditional optical rain gauges and piezoelectric rain gauges
Traditional optical rain gauges and piezoelectric rain gauges have problems such as failure to measure light rain, poor accuracy, and susceptibility to the surrounding environment. The optical tipping bucket rain gauge has a stable measurement process, accurate measurement data, strong anti-interference ability, and is also intelligent and easy to maintain.
Compared with the tipping bucket rain gauge
The tipping bucket rain gauge can only count the rainfall in a certain period of time and cannot reflect the size of the rainfall in real time. The optical tipping bucket rain gauge may have more advantages in real-time performance and can better meet the needs of industries that require multiple rainfall data.
Features
Accurate measurement: The high-precision photosensitive sensor ensures the accuracy of light intensity measurement and the accuracy of rainfall monitoring.
Intelligent and easy to maintain: Users can calibrate and maintain the equipment through simple operations, which greatly reduces the cost of use and the difficulty of maintenance.
Strong anti-interference ability: It can work stably in complex environments and the measurement data is reliable.
Application field
It can provide strong data support for meteorological forecasts, hydrological monitoring, etc., and is widely used in meteorology, hydrology, agriculture, geological disasters and other fields that require rainfall monitoring.
