[0047] Working principle: the liquid level gauge calibration device for liquefied gas automobile tank cars in actual use, a kind of liquid level monitoring device composed of pressure sensor 3032 reading and glass liquid column 2032 reading two ways of liquid level gauge, in use, can be compared with the reading obtained by the pressure sensor 3032 sensing pressure change and the display reading of the glass liquid column 2032, with the increase of the volume of the medium in the tank body 1, the pressure in the tank body 1 increases, the pressure sensing ball 201 is pressed to inject the hydraulic oil in the tank body 1 into the glass liquid column 2032, so that the amount of medium in the tank body 1 can be directly observed, the pressure sensor 3032 in the tank body 1 simultaneously senses the pressure change in the tank body 1, and the signal processing hub 3033 processes the numerical change to feedback the numerical display of the display screen 3031, the liquid level readings of the two can be more accurately read out the amount of medium in the tank body 1, when the readings of the two are wrong, the calibration of the liquid level gauge is prompted, and the calibration assembly 3 is used to supplement or extract hydraulic oil to the liquid level monitoring assembly 2 for calibration.

[0049] At the same time, the deformation of the pressure sensing ball 201 caused by the pressure change in the tank body 1 is fed back to the reading in the glass liquid column 2032, the traditional mechanical structure is used for liquid level monitoring, which can avoid the reading error caused by electronic element failure, combined with the reading of the pressure sensor 3032, the influence of failure can be excluded by mutual verification, and the calibration of the liquid level gauge is prompted in time.

[0050] The hydraulic oil in the pressure sensing ball 201 of the liquid level monitoring assembly 2 enters the glass liquid column 2032 through the overflow hole 8 under the action of pressure, and then the quantity of the medium in the tank 1 is monitored by the height of the hydraulic oil in the glass liquid column 2032.

The liquid supplement pipeline 3021 is fixedly connected between the liquid storage tank 301 and the connecting pipe 202, the liquid supplement pump 3022 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the liquid supplement pipeline 3021, and the throttle valve 3023 is fixedly arranged between the liquid supplement pipeline 3021 and the liquid storage tank 301.

[0071] The pressure sensor 3032 is arranged on the inner side of the tank body 1, and the signal processing hub 3033 is arranged between the display screen 3031 and the pressure sensor 3032.

[0072] The data transmission line 11 is fixedly connected between the display screen 3031 and the pressure sensor 3032, and the sealing ring 12 is arranged on the side of the data transmission line 11.

[0073] In the embodiment, a liquid level monitoring device composed of a liquid level gauge with two reading modes of the pressure sensor 3032 and the glass liquid column 2032 is designed. In use, the reading obtained by the pressure sensor 3032 sensing the pressure change and the display reading of the glass liquid column 2032 can be compared. With the increase of the volume of the medium in the tank body 1, the internal pressure of the tank body 1 increases, and the pressure-sensitive ball body 201 injects the internal hydraulic oil into the glass liquid column 2032 under pressure, so that the amount of medium in the tank body 1 can be directly observed. The pressure sensor 3032 in the tank body 1 simultaneously senses the change of the internal pressure of the tank body 1, and the signal processing hub 3033 processes the numerical change and feeds it back to the numerical display of the display screen 3031. The comparison of the liquid level readings of the two can more accurately read the amount of medium in the tank body 1. When there is an error in the readings of the two, the verification of the liquid level gauge is prompted, and the verification assembly 3 supplements or extracts hydraulic oil to the liquid level monitoring assembly 2 for verification.

[0074] The pressure sensor 3032 senses the change of the pressure due to the filling of the medium in the tank body 1, and transmits the change value to the signal processing hub 3033 through a safe voltage. The signal processing hub 3033 imports the change of the pressure into a formula to obtain the amount of the filled medium, converts the volume of the tank body 1, obtains the liquid level height of the tank body 1, and displays it in numerical form on the display screen 3031. At the same time, the pressure-sensitive ball body 201 in the liquid level monitoring assembly 2 also deforms due to the change of the internal pressure of the tank body 1, and squeezes the internal hydraulic oil into the glass liquid column 2032, which is manifested as the change of the hydraulic oil height in the glass liquid column 2032. The two are mutually verified, and if there is an error between the two, the use of the device needs to be stopped in time and verified.

[0075] The verification method is also very convenient, that is, a proper amount of medium is filled into the tank body 1, and the display change of the display screen 3031 and the change value of the hydraulic oil height in the glass liquid column 2032 are observed at the same time, the error is verified, and then the hydraulic oil is filled into the connecting pipe 202 to the appropriate position through the verification assembly 3, and the above steps are repeated for multiple times until the two numerical values change synchronously, that is, the verification process of the device is completed. The tank body 1 does not need to be emptied or filled, which can avoid the trouble and loss caused by the original verification method.

[0076] The pressure sensing element 303 in the device senses the pressure change in the tank 1 through the pressure sensor 3032, and transmits the change to the signal processing hub 3033 through the data transmission line 11 for processing. The electrical signal strength involved in the process is low, which is not enough to pose an explosion hazard to the transported medium, and ensures the safety of transportation while accurately identifying the amount of medium in the tank 1.

[0077] The liquid storage tank 301 and the liquid level monitoring assembly 2 are not only provided with a liquid supplement pump 3022 for bidirectional adjustment of the amount of hydraulic oil, but also provided with a throttle valve 3023 in the liquid supplement pipeline 3021. In use, the sealing property of the hydraulic oil supplement 302 can be increased to avoid the problem of inaccurate reading of the liquid level meter caused by the backflow of hydraulic oil into the liquid storage tank 301 due to the excessive pressure in the liquid level monitoring assembly 2 affecting the operation of the liquid supplement pump 3022.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application.
