The first cavity gas collecting unit 9 and the second cavity gas collecting unit 11 have the same size, are connected together, are reversely buckled at the lower side of the balance groove body 7 and are respectively positioned at the left side and the right side of the central pivot 8, and the air inlet 12 of the air inlet pipe 1 is positioned below the joint of the first cavity gas collecting unit 9 and the second cavity gas collecting unit 11.

The counter 17 is connected to the central pivot 8 for counting the rotation of the central pivot 8, the counter 17 may be a mechanical counter, or the counter 17 may be a sensor counter. The mechanical counter can be mechanically driven by the central pivot 8 without external force, and certainly, when the first cavity gas collecting unit 9 and the second cavity gas collecting unit 11 drive the central pivot 8 to rotate, the mechanical counter can be replaced by a sensor such as a reed or a mercury switch which can be installed on the central pivot 8, and then an electronic recorder is externally connected to record the generated accumulated gas. The gas counter 17 can be designed so that a readable correction system can be connected.
The working principle of the micro gas flowmeter with the adjustable resolution ratio of the embodiment is as follows:
the gas to be measured is connected with the gas inlet pipe 1 through an external pipeline and is introduced into the liquid medium 3 in the closed container 4, bubbles 2 are formed and finally float upwards from the gas inlet 12 to pass through the liquid level close to the bottom of the cavity, and then enter the gas phase space 13 and are introduced into the gas outlet pipe 5.
The air bubbles 2 float from the air inlet 12 and are temporarily collected in the inverted cavity, the inverted cavity is a pair of triangular cavity air collecting units (a first cavity air collecting unit 9 and a second cavity air collecting unit 11) which are inclined downwards, the two air collecting units are connected by a balance groove body 7 and swing towards two sides through a central pivot 8, and a separation plate 10 between the two air collecting units is positioned in the middle of the balance groove body 7 and used for realizing the separation of the two air collecting units.
As shown in fig. 3, when the gas collecting units are in the left-right non-horizontal position, the gas entering from the gas inlet pipe 1 will be collected in one of the gas collecting units (the left first cavity gas collecting unit 9), in this position, the balance trough body 7 is inclined to the left, and the bottom end 16 of the partition board 10 is on the right of the gas inlet 12, so that the inlet gas can be ensured to enter the first cavity gas collecting unit 9.
As shown in fig. 4, when the gas collecting unit is converted into another gas collecting unit (the right second chamber gas collecting unit 11) due to buoyancy, the two gas collecting units perform exchange operation, and after the gas collected in the first chamber gas collecting unit 9 is released, bubbles will be collected in the second chamber gas collecting unit 11, so that the bottom end 16 of the partition board 10 moves to the other side, and it is ensured that the gas enters the second chamber gas collecting unit 11.
The first adjusting knob 15 and the second adjusting knob 16 are located at the left end and the right end of the balance groove body 7, the adjusting knobs can control the rolling positions of the weight regulator 6 in the balance groove body 7, and different air collection amounts are generated at different positions so as to realize the change of the resolution. The position of the gravity regulator 6 is changed, so that the buoyancy generated by accumulated gas arranged in the two gas collecting units pushes the gas collecting units to rotate around the central pivot 8, so that the gas collecting units incline, and the gas collecting units are quickly switched between the two gas exchanging and collecting units. Once the gravity regulator 6 has moved past the central position, i.e. the vertical position of the gas inlet 1 and the central pivot 8, the gas collection units will settle until a sufficient amount of gas has once again accumulated in one of the two gas collection units, and when one gas collection unit collects and accumulates gas, the previous gas collection unit that collected gas will release gas to control the gravity regulator 6 to roll to the opposite position, the power resulting from the accumulated gas repeatedly exchanging the gas collection units. The steps enable the accurate accumulated gas in each gas collecting unit to be repeatedly converted and adjusted, and no gas is leaked in the conversion process.
Each exchange of the gas collection unit of the gas meter corresponds to a preset gas quantity, which is recorded by the counter 17.
The micro gas flowmeter with the adjustable resolution can adjust the lifting force to change the resolution of the measuring unit to adapt to the measurement in different gas flow ranges, and simultaneously can avoid the gas leakage in the measuring process to the greatest extent to ensure the measuring accuracy. Specifically, a pair of balanced gas collecting cavities (a first cavity gas collecting unit 9 and a second cavity gas collecting unit 11) can uninterruptedly exchange and collect and release gas to be measured through the left-right swinging of the middle pivot 8; the resolution of the gas measured by the first cavity gas collecting unit 9 and the second cavity gas collecting unit 11 is adjusted by the gravity regulator 6 and is preset before the gas flow is measured; the gas production counter 17 counts by rotation of the central pivot, in a manner that includes mechanical counting and sensor counting.
