Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fast checking and clamping fixture for an electric spray sensor. Background Art

[0002] Liquid level sensors and liquid level switches are one of the automation components used in most industrial production sites, especially in systems with liquid level monitoring in automated control systems, such as top cover water level, oil tank level, pressure oil tank level, upper guide bearing level and water guide upper tank level. Their analog quantities and switch nodes are directly involved in system control and monitoring and are widely used. When the system is operating normally, the liquid level sensor and liquid level switch can only operate and measure within the normal range, and rarely appear extreme conditions at both ends, such as the liquid level is too low or too high, high liquid level range or low liquid level range, etc. In this area, the measurement range of the liquid level sensor analog quantity and the operation of the liquid level switch cannot be tested. Maintenance personnel generally conduct simulation tests on site and use manual magnetic nodes to operate the nodes on the equipment, which poses the risk of equipment misoperation or damage. When calibrating the liquid level sensor, the traditional displacement measurement method is used. The operator manually moves the float of the liquid level meter, and then uses a multimeter to measure the current value. At the same time, it is also necessary to measure the displacement of the float of the liquid level meter. This calibration method is relatively backward. Due to large errors caused by human factors, a qualified sensor may be calibrated as unqualified in linearity or the liquid level switch node may be misadjusted.

[0003] At present, there is no reliable calibration device in most industrial production sites. The calibration of liquid level sensors and liquid level switches is cumbersome and complicated, with low work efficiency. At the same time, the linearity after calibration is inaccurate and unreliable. Summary of the invention
