Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sensor cleaning, and in particular to a sensor self-cleaning device based on water quality monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Water quality monitoring sensors are instruments for detecting water quality parameters. They include measuring devices for various physical quantities and electronic circuit parts. Water quality monitoring sensors are usually composed of sensing elements, conversion elements, and signal processing. Common sensors include: pressure type, capacitance type, inductance type, and photoelectric type. During the use of water quality sensors, suspended matter, algae, or other organisms in the water will adhere to the sensor, affecting the accuracy of the measurement, so the water quality monitoring sensor needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent CN210358290U discloses an automatic cleaning device for water quality monitoring sensors, which uses air jets or water sprays or water-gas cross cleaning methods to clean the sensors, and is suitable for various sensor probes. However, during the use of the above device, the branch pipe is installed on the outside of the sensor probe, and the outlet at the tail end of the branch pipe is aligned with the sensor probe, resulting in that when cleaning the sensor probe, only the area on the sensor probe where the outlet at the tail end of the branch pipe is aligned can be cleaned, and algae will also be attached to the side walls of the sensor probe and the branch pipe. These algae attached to the side walls of the sensor probe and the branch pipe will swing in the water body with the direction of the water flow, causing the water quality monitoring sensor to capture erroneous signals during measurement, affecting the measurement accuracy, thereby making the cleaning range of the water quality monitoring sensor by the device smaller and the cleaning effect poorer.

The upper end of the hollow screw 8 is fixedly connected with an annular baffle 9, and the annular baffle 9 is used to limit the downward movement distance of the hollow screw 8. The outer side of the hollow screw 8 is connected with a threaded sleeve 10 corresponding to the internal thread of the protective box 3, and the outer side of the threaded sleeve 10 is movably connected with a gear 11. The outer side of the threaded sleeve 10 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed annular baffles 2 12, and the two annular baffles 2 12 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the gear 11.

[0033] A plurality of short connecting rods 13 equidistantly distributed around the circumference are fixedly mounted on the upper end of the gear 11, a gear 2 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the short connecting rod 13, a avoidance hole 15 is provided at the center of the gear 2 14, and the diameter of the avoidance hole 15 is larger than the diameter of the annular baffle 1 9, the avoidance hole 15 is used to avoid the annular baffle 9, a support ring 33 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the gear 11, a positioning seat 34 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the protective box 3 corresponding to the outer side of the support ring 33, and the support ring 33 is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 34 through the bearing 2, a gear 37 is mounted on the outer side of the gear 2 14, a motor 38 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the gear 3 37, and the connection between the motor 38 and the protective box 3 is a fixed connection.

[0034] A plurality of circumferentially equidistantly distributed connection components are installed between the threaded sleeve 10 and the gear 11, and the connection components include a sleeve 16 fixedly embedded in the gear 11, a pin 17 is movably embedded in one end of the sleeve 16 close to the threaded sleeve 10, and a hemispherical portion 1 is provided at one end of the pin 17 close to the threaded sleeve 10, and the end of the sleeve 16 away from the pin 17 is in a closed state.

[0035] One end of the pin rod 17 located inside the sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to a gasket 18, and the side of the gasket 18 away from the pin rod 17 is movably abutted against a spring 19, and the end of the spring 19 away from the gasket 18 is movably abutted against the sleeve 16.

The outer side of the threaded sleeve 10 is provided with a plurality of hemispherical grooves 20 equidistantly distributed around the circumference, and the hemispherical portion of the pin rod 17 is movably engaged with the threaded sleeve 10 through the hemispherical grooves 20.

[0036] Working principle: The sensor body 1 is located in the monitored water body, and the protection box 3 is located above the water body (the protection box 3 can be fixed on a pile inserted in the water body), and the sensor body 1 monitors the water body in real time;

[0037] When it is necessary to clean the impurities and algae on the outside of the sensor body 1, the motor 38 drives the gear 2 14 to rotate through the gear 3 37, and the gear 2 14 drives the gear 1 11 to rotate through the short connecting rod 13. Since the hemispherical portion 1 of the pin 17 is embedded in the hemispherical slot 20 driven by the compression elastic force of the spring 19, the gear 11 will drive the threaded sleeve 10 to rotate through the pin 17 when it rotates. Since the hollow screw 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5, the threaded sleeve 10 will drive the hollow screw 8 and the silicone scraper ring 6 to move up and down when it rotates. During the downward movement of the hollow screw 8 and the silicone scraper ring 6, the silicone scraper ring 6 is in friction contact with the outer wall of the sensor body 1, which can scrape off the impurities and algae attached to the outside of the sensor body 1 and prevent the algae attached to the side wall of the sensor body 1 from affecting the measurement accuracy of the sensor body 1. After the silicone scraper ring 6 completes the cleaning of the side wall of the sensor body 1, the hollow screw 8 will drive the silicone scraper ring 6 to move up and reset, so it will not cause any impact on the sensor body 1.

[0038] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 6-Figure 8 The present embodiment further explains the first embodiment. The scraping assembly includes a spline rod 21 installed on the lower side of the connecting plate 5, and the spline rod 21 is concentric with the hollow screw 8. A rubber ring 39 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the spline rod 21, and the connection between the rubber ring 39 and the connecting plate 5 is a rotating connection. The rubber ring 39 cannot move up and down inside the connecting plate 5, and is used to prevent the spline rod 21 from rotating by itself. A gasket 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the spline rod 21, and a connecting seat 23 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the spline rod 21. The connecting seat 23 cannot rotate on the outer side of the spline rod 21, and a spring 24 is also movably sleeved on the outer side of the spline rod 21.

[0039] The two ends of the spring 24 are respectively movably abutted against the gasket 22 and the connecting seat 23. The gasket 22 is used to position the lower end of the spring 24. An arc-shaped support strip 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the connecting seat 23. An arc-shaped scraper strip 26 is fixedly embedded on the upper end of the arc-shaped support strip 25. The connection between the arc-shaped scraper strip 26 and the sensor body 1, the connecting plate 5, and the silicone scraper ring 6 is a sliding contact. The arc-shaped support strip 25, the arc-shaped scraper strip 26 and the silicone scraper ring 6 are concentric.

[0040] A long connecting rod 27 is fixedly embedded at the center of the upper end of the spline rod 21, and the long connecting rod 27 is movably installed inside the hollow screw 8, a disc 28 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the long connecting rod 27, and a flexible pad 29 is fixedly embedded at the lower end of the disc 28, and a plurality of pointed cones 30 equidistantly distributed around the circumference are fixedly embedded at the upper end of the gear 2 14, and the connection between the plurality of pointed cones 30 and the flexible pad 29 is a movable abutment, and the flexible pad 29 is made of silicone.

[0041] In this embodiment: when the annular baffle 1 9 moves down with the hollow screw 8 and abuts against the threaded sleeve 10, the multiple sharp cones 30 on the upper end of the gear 2 14 will abut against the flexible pad 29, and the hollow screw 8 and the silicone scraper ring 6 cannot move further downward. The gear 2 14 can drive the long connecting rod 27, the spline rod 21 and the arc scraper 26 to rotate through the multiple sharp cones 30 and the flexible pad 29. In this process, since the hollow screw 8 cannot move further downward, the threaded sleeve 10 cannot rotate on the outside of the hollow screw 8. At this time The hemispherical portion of the pin 17 will be disengaged from the hemispherical slot 20 during the rotation of the gear 11, that is, the gear 11 will idle outside the threaded sleeve 10, and the arc-shaped scraper 26 will slide in contact with the bottom surface of the sensor body 1 and the silicone scraper ring 6 during the rotation, and can scrape off the impurities and algae on the silicone scraper ring 6 and the lower end surface of the sensor body 1, which can not only clean the lower end surface of the sensor body 1, but also prevent the impurities and algae from moving up with the silicone scraper ring 6 and covering the outer side of the sensor body 1;

[0042] When the arc scraper 26 rotates several times as set and returns to its initial position, the hemispherical portion 1 of the pin 17 is embedded in the corresponding hemispherical groove 20, and the motor 38 drives the gear 11 and the gear 2 14 to rotate in the opposite direction through the gear 3 37. The gear 11 drives the threaded sleeve 10 to rotate in the opposite direction through the pin 17, which drives the hollow screw 8, the silicone scraper ring 6 and the arc scraper 26 to move up and reset.

[0043] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 8This embodiment further explains the first embodiment. The driving assembly includes a hemispherical body 31 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the arc-shaped support bar 25, and the hemispherical body 31 is located between the connecting seat 23 and the arc-shaped scraper strip 26. The arc-shaped scraper strip 26 is made of silicone. A plurality of equidistantly distributed top rods 32 are fixedly embedded at the lower end of the connecting plate 5. A hemispherical part 2 is provided at the lower end of the top rod 32, and the connection between the hemispherical body 31 and the hemispherical part 2 is a movable abutment.

[0044] In this embodiment: after the arc scraper 26 rotates to separate from the silicone scraper ring 6, the hemispherical body 31 will abut against the hemispherical part 2 of the top rod 32, and as the connecting seat 23 continues to rotate, the hemispherical part 2 of the top rod 32 will drive the connecting seat 23 and the arc scraper 26 to move downward through the hemispherical body 31; when the hemispherical body 31 rotates to separate from the hemispherical part 2 of the top rod 32, the connecting seat 23 and the arc scraper 26 will move upward and reset under the drive of the compression force of the spring 2 24, and so on, so that the arc scraper 26 can swing back and forth up and down as it continues to rotate after rotating away from the silicone scraper ring 6, thereby facilitating the separation of impurities and algae from the arc scraper 26 under the action of the water flow.
