Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid level gauges, in particular to a liquid level gauge mounting bracket. Background Art
[0002] Liquid level gauges are precision measurement systems used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, especially in critical infrastructure such as hydroelectric power stations, where they play a vital role. These devices can accurately monitor the height of liquids in rivers, reservoirs, containers or tanks, ensuring that water levels are controlled within safe and operational limits.
[0003] In a hydropower station, the level meter mounting bracket usually consists of a sturdy inverted L-shaped bracket and a highly sensitive radar water level meter. The radar water level meter is installed on the extension arm of the bracket. When monitoring the water level of the reservoir, the radar water level meter uses the reflection principle of radar waves to accurately measure and record the changes in the water level. This measurement method not only responds quickly, but also has high data accuracy, providing engineers with real-time water level information, so that they can make corresponding control decisions in a timely manner.
[0004] However, when maintaining and overhauling these monitoring devices, since the radar water level meter is installed on an extension arm above the water surface, engineers may need to use ladders or other auxiliary tools to reach the equipment when performing maintenance tasks. In this high-altitude and close-to-water working environment, the safety of engineers is of vital importance. Any carelessness may lead to an accidental fall into the water, which undoubtedly increases the risk of the operation. At the same time, when engineers are overhauling, they cannot fully overhaul the radar water level meter for their own safety considerations, which will also increase the time for overhauling the radar water level meter and affect the overhaul efficiency of the radar water level.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 7 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a liquid level meter mounting bracket that can drive the radar water level 205 to move.
[0032] Specifically, the support assembly 100 includes a fixed tube 101, a sliding column 102 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube 101, a bin 103 arranged on the outer wall of the fixed tube 101, a base 104 arranged at the bottom of the fixed tube 101, a connecting groove 105 opened at the top of the fixed tube 101, and a sliding groove 106 opened on the outer wall of the fixed tube 101, wherein the base 104 is provided with a connecting hole for connecting bolts. When installing the liquid level meter mounting bracket, the base 104 is placed in a designated area, and then the base 104 is installed in the designated area by bolts, so that the liquid level meter mounting bracket is installed in the designated position;
[0033] The moving component 200 is arranged on the outer wall of the fixed tube 101, and includes a sleeve 201, a support rod 202 connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 201, a sliding seat 203 slidably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 202, a pushing rod 206 rotatably connected to the top of the sliding seat 203, and a limit block 207 connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 201, wherein the sliding seat 203 is sleeved on the support rod 202, the inner diameter of the sleeve 201 is the same as the outer diameter of the fixed tube 101, and a hinge is arranged on the top of the sliding seat 203, which is connected to one side of the pushing rod 206 through the hinge, and the length of the pushing rod 206 is longer than the length of the support rod 206.
[0034] The inner wall of the sleeve 201 contacts the outer wall of the fixed tube 101, and the outer wall of the limit block 207 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting groove 105. When the limit block 207 is in the connecting groove 105, the limit block 207 will engage with the outer wall of the fixed tube 101. At this time, the sleeve 201 is fixed on the top of the fixed tube 101.
[0035] The connecting groove 105 is connected to the slide groove 106. The width of the slide groove 106 is greater than the width of the limit block 207. The outer wall of the push rod 206 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding column 102. The connecting groove 105 and the slide groove 106 are integrated. When the limit block 207 moves into the connecting groove 105, the sleeve 201 can slide on the fixed pipe 101.
[0036] At the same time, a hinge is provided at the top of the sliding column 102, which is rotatably connected to one side of the push rod 206 through the hinge. Therefore, when the sliding column 102 slides up and down, it will drive the push rod 206 to move. At this time, the other side of the push rod 206 will drive the sliding seat 203 to slide on the support rod 206.
[0037] A connecting plate 204 is connected to one side of the sliding seat 203, and a radar water level gauge 205 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 204, wherein the connecting plate 204 is connected to one side of the sliding seat 203 by bolts, so when the sliding seat 203 is pushed by the pushing rod 206, it can drive the connecting plate 204 and the radar water level gauge 205 to move together.
[0038] In summary, when the position of the radar water level gauge 205 needs to be adjusted, moving the sliding column 102 upward or downward can drive the push rod 206 forward or backward to drive the sliding seat 203 to move. At this time, the position of the radar water level gauge 205 also changes accordingly, so that the water level at different positions of the reservoir can be measured.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 7 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, is based on the previous embodiment. The difference is that, based on the previous embodiment, this embodiment can drive the radar water level meter to change direction and reduce the height of the radar water level meter 205, so as to facilitate maintenance by engineers.
[0041] The bin body 103 includes a placement bin 103a, a limiting groove 103b opened on one side of the placement bin 103a, and an annular groove 103c opened on the inner wall of the placement bin 103a, wherein the limiting groove 103b is arranged at the top of the placement bin 103a.
[0042] The outer wall of the placement bin 103a is connected to the fixed tube 101, and the inner wall of the placement bin 103a is connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube 101. A groove 107 is provided at the bottom of the sliding column 102, and a fixed block 108 is connected to the outer wall of the groove 107. The placement bin 103a and the fixed tube 101 are integrated into one. There are several grooves 107 and several fixed blocks 108. The fixed blocks 108 are installed around the inner wall of the groove 107.
[0043] The inner wall of the placement bin 103a is connected with a driving assembly 300, which includes a mounting ring 301, a rotating shaft 302 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 301, a pushing member 303 connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302, and a rotating disk 304 connected to one side of the rotating shaft 302, wherein bearings are provided on both sides of the mounting ring 301, and the bearings are engaged with the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302, so that the rotating shaft 302 can be rotatably connected to the mounting ring 301;
[0044] Rotating the rotating disk 304 can drive the rotating shaft 302 and the pushing member 303 to rotate.
[0045] The pusher 303 includes a mounting plate 303a, a connecting hole 303b provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate 303a, a square block 303c in contact with the outer wall of the mounting plate 303a, and a locking block 303d provided on one side of the square block 303c. The mounting plate 303a is provided with a plurality of square blocks 303c. When the mounting plate 303a rotates, the square blocks 303c are driven to rotate.
[0046] Meanwhile, the engaging block 303d and the connecting hole 303b have the same shape, which is a T-shape, and the square block 303c has a square shape.
[0047] The outer wall of the mounting ring 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 103c, one side of the rotating shaft 302 passes through one side of the mounting ring 301 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 103b, and the inner wall of the other side of the rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 305, and one side of the placement bin 103a is threadedly connected to a bolt 306, the outer wall of the bolt 306 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 301, and one side of the bolt 306 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 305, wherein the mounting ring 301 is engaged in the annular groove 103c, and threaded connection holes are provided at the bottom and one side of the placement bin 103a, and when the mounting ring 301 rotates ninety degrees with the pusher 303, it can be connected to the connecting block 305 through the bolt 306 to fix the position of the mounting ring 301 and the pusher 303;
[0048] It should be noted that a bearing is provided on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 302, and the bearing is sleeved on the inner wall of the connecting block 305, so that the connecting block 305 can rotate inside the rotating shaft 302, so that when the rotating shaft 302 rotates, the bolt 306 is not affected.
[0049] The outer wall of the engaging block 303d is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting hole 303b, and the outer wall of the square block 303c is meshed with the inner wall of the groove 107. When the mounting plate 303a rotates, the square block 303c pushes the groove 107, so that the sliding column 102 moves upward or downward.
[0050] At the same time, by rotating the mounting ring 301, the direction of the mounting disk 303a is changed, so that the mounting disk 303a is placed horizontally. Here, because the square block 303c is a square, when the mounting disk 303a rotates, the square block 303c engaged with the groove 107 and other square blocks 303c will not change in structure. At this time, the rotating disk 304 can be rotated, and the square block 303c will push the fixed block 108 to move, so that the sliding column 102 rotates. The sliding column 102 drives the support rod 202 to rotate through the push rod 206. At this time, the sleeve 201 and the limit block 207 can be driven to rotate toward the connecting groove 105. After the limit block 207 turns to the connecting groove 105, the mounting ring 301 is rotated again to make the mounting disk 303a stand up again. At this time, rotating the rotating disk 304 can drive the sliding column 102 to descend, and the push rod 206 will push the sleeve 201 and the limit block 207 to move downward;
[0051] It should be noted that, after the rotating disk 304 rotates, a rope or other tool is needed to fix the rotating disk 304 , thereby fixing the sliding column 102 .
[0052] In summary, when the radar water level gauge 205 needs to be inspected and repaired, the mounting ring 301 is rotated to place the mounting disk 303a horizontally, and then the mounting disk 303a is rotated to drive the sliding column 102 to rotate, so that the limit block 207 enters the connecting groove 105. Finally, the rotating disk 304 is restored, and the rotating disk 304 is rotated so that the push rod 206 pushes the sleeve 201 and the limit block 207 to move downward. In this way, the radar water level gauge 205 can be turned to the shore, and its height can also be lowered to facilitate engineers to carry out inspections.
[0053] Example 3
[0054] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 7 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but the difference is that this embodiment can facilitate engineers to quickly adjust the position of the radar water level meter 205.
[0055] The inner wall of the placement bin 103a is connected to a driving assembly 300, which includes a mounting ring 301, a rotating shaft 302 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 301, a pushing member 303 connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302, and a rotating disk 304 connected to one side of the rotating shaft 302. When the mounting ring 301 rotates, it drives the driving assembly 300 to rotate as a whole, thereby changing the direction of the pushing member 303.
[0056] The pushing member 303 includes a mounting plate 303a, a connecting hole 303b provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate 303a, a square block 303c in contact with the outer wall of the mounting plate 303a, and a locking block 303d provided on one side of the square block 303c, wherein when the pushing member 303 rotates as a whole, the rotation direction of the mounting plate 303a also changes, so that when the mounting plate 303a rotates, the square block 303c moves in different directions.
[0057] In summary, when it is necessary to adjust the monitoring area of the radar water level meter 205, the mounting ring 301 can be rotated to place the mounting disk 303a horizontally. At this time, the rotating disk 304 is rotated to make the pushing member 303 drive the fixed block 108 to rotate, which can drive the sliding column 102 to rotate, thereby changing the direction of the radar water level meter 205. Then, the mounting disk 303a is restored, and the sliding column 102 can be driven to slide up and down by rotating the rotating disk 304, thereby changing the position of the radar water level meter 205 through the push rod 206, so that engineers can quickly adjust the position of the radar water level meter 205.
