Tipping bucket rain gauge for weather monitoring auto rainfall sensor RS485/Outdoor/stainless steel

Tipping bucket rain gauge (also called rainfall recorders, rain gauges) is suitable for meteorological stations  (stations), hydrological stations, agriculture, forestry, national defense and  other relevant departments, used for remote measurement of liquid  precipitation, precipitation intensity, precipitation start and end time  It can be used for automatic hydrological monitoring and reporting  systems and automatic fifield monitoring and reporting stations for the  purposes of flflood control, water supply scheduling, power station and  reservoir water management, etc.

Rain gauge (also known as a rain barrel) is an instrument used to measure precipitation. One common type of rain gauge is the tipping bucket rain gauge.

A tipping bucket rain gauge works when rain falls into a specially designed funnel with a tilting bucket underneath. When a certain amount of rainwater accumulates on the tipping bucket, the bucket tilts and empties while a recorder records the event. Each time the bucket is tilted a certain amount of precipitation accumulates, so that the amount of precipitation can be calculated by recording the number of tilts.

The tipping bucket rain gauge has the following advantages:

High accuracy: due to its simple and stable mechanical structure, it is able to provide more accurate precipitation data.

Automation: Tipping bucket rain gauges are usually equipped with a digital recorder, which can automatically record and store precipitation data without human intervention.

Durable: Tipping bucket rain gauges are usually made of durable materials and are able to operate for long periods of time in harsh climatic conditions.

However, tipping bucket rain gauges do have some limitations, such as sensitivity to wind speed and direction, and the need for regular maintenance and calibration.

Overall, the tipping bucket rain gauge is a reliable and widely used type of rain gauge for precipitation monitoring and data collection in weather stations, agriculture, water management, and other fields.

The rainfall sensor is applicable to relevant departments such as meteorological platforms (stations), hydrological stations, agriculture and forestry, national defense and other relevant departments used to remote liquid precipitation, precipitation intensity, and precipitation start and end. It is used for flood control, water supply scheduling, and the water supply management of the reservoir of the power station as the purpose of the hydrological automatic reporting system and the automatic field measurement station to measure the sensor for precipitation.

Equipment such as rainfall sensors and automatic meteorological stations are used to monitor the rainfall in the city. In the process of heavy rain, the rainfall can be fed back to the relevant personnel in time. At the same time, according to the emergency response plan of the heavy rain, do a good job of various tasks in a timely manner to reduce the impact of the rainstorm.

Meteorological departments at all levels have begun to use new automatic meteorological stations. The entire meteorological observation business has basically achieved intelligent and automated operations, and the meteorological observation data obtained is also more accurate and systematic. At the same time, it has greatly improved the efficiency of new automatic station meteorological testing.

The rainfall flows into the tent through a receiver. When the overflow flows into a certain amount of rainwater, the over turns over, the rainwater in the bucket will be picked up again. Each flip action of the tougard is converted into a pulse signal through the cooler ( 1 pulse = 0.2mm precipitation) transmission to the collection system.

This instrument is suitable for national basic rain stations, encrypted automatic weather (rainfall stations), and remote test stations under the conditions of various places and different climate and environmental conditions to complete the automatic measurement and data collection of the precipitation process. The rainfall sensor is an indispensable part of the new automatic meteorological station. The instrument mainly measures the amount of precipitation. At the same time, the changes in the rainstorm are monitored.
