The present invention relates to a self-diagnostic rainfall measuring device, and more particularly, by forcibly pendulum movement of a measuring member for measuring rainwater falling through the clogging phenomenon of the water outlet where rainwater collects in the rainfall measuring device and the rain water falling through the water outlet. It relates to a self-diagnosis type rainfall measuring device to determine the operating state of a switch.

In general, a rainfall measuring device is configured to include a water receiver installed outside to collect rainwater, and a rainfall measurement module for measuring and displaying rainfall by a rainfall detection signal transmitted from the water receiver.

Here, the water spout is made up of a funnel-shaped slow-down spout that collects rainwater falling into a certain area of space, and two measuring cups (Tipping Bucket) positioned in a seesaw shape at both ends and a permanent hanging from the central axis of the two measuring cups. A reed switch disposed at the lower end of the magnet and the permanent magnet to form a contact point by magnetism, and a signal terminal for transmitting the contact signal of the reed switch to the rainfall measurement module.

According to the structure as described above, after rainwater is collected in the water spout, it falls to one of the two measuring cups through the nozzle, and when a certain amount of rainwater accumulates in the measuring cup, the measuring cup with a certain amount of rainwater is tilted by the pendulum movement. As it goes down, the measuring cup that does not collect rainwater on the opposite side rises, the rainwater collected on one of the inclined measuring cups is discharged, and the rainwater is collected again on the other measuring cup moved upward.

At this time, the two measuring cups perform a parabolic motion, the permanent magnet located in the center of the two measuring cups makes a pendulum motion, and the reed switch is contacted at the moment the permanent magnet passes the upper part of the reed switch provided under the reed switch, of the contact signal is transmitted to the rainfall measurement module, and the rainfall measurement module counts the rainfall amount through the contact signal received from the water outlet.

In the case of rain, foreign substances such as fallen leaves, dirt, and insects are deposited on the water outlet of the rainfall measuring device as described above, which causes clogging of the water outlet, and rainwater does not collect from the water outlet to the measuring cup, so the rainfall is not measured normally. There was a problem that it didn't.

In addition, when a certain amount of rainwater accumulates in the measuring cup, the measuring cup with a certain amount of rainwater is tilted and descends, and the measuring cup with no rainwater collected on the opposite side repeats the ascending pendulum motion while the permanent magnet passes the upper part of the reed switch and counts it. This is done to measure the amount of rainfall, but there is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately count when the reed switch is damaged or damaged.

Therefore, it is possible to check and determine the clogging phenomenon of the water spout in real time, and also draw a parabola in a seesaw shape by the pendulum motion according to the amount of rainwater collected in the two measuring cups while repeatedly raising and lowering the reed switch. There is a demand for a rainfall measuring device that can ensure accuracy and reliability of rainfall measurement by determining whether it is operating, and can prevent malfunctions and errors according to other weather and environmental conditions.

Even when it occurs, it may be determined that rainwater is stagnant in the collection space 11 of the water spout 10 due to a large amount of rain.

In addition, when a pair of conduction modules (not shown) are further provided in the flow velocity relief port 15 of the water receiver 10 , each conduction module 11a, 11b installed in the collecting space 11 is If the mutual contact time is longer than the reference time, but each conduction module installed in the flow rate relief port 15 conducts rainwater to a conductor, it may be determined that rainwater is stagnating in the water outlet 10 due to more rainfall. have.
