AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the measurement, the existing pit level measurement device causes the ultrasonic propagation path to change or reflect and scattering due to the existence of foam, resulting in deviations in the measurement results and the real liquid level height in the pit cannot be accurately reflected, resulting in inaccurate data and overflow of pit wastewater.

Method used

A foam-containing pit level measurement device is designed, using a float ball to support the ultrasonic refractive panel, and ultrasonic waves are emitted through an ultrasonic emitter, and the liquid level is measured by refraction phenomenon. At the same time, a brush and an arc plate are installed on the filter screen to drive the mounting frame to rotate through the motor to prevent impurities from being blocked and foam from being stuck.

Benefits of technology

The ultrasonic refraction panel supported by the float ball avoids the impact of foam on the measurement results and achieves accurate liquid level measurement; the design of the brush and curved plate effectively prevents the influence of impurities and foam, ensures the normal entry of liquid, and avoids the overflow of wastewater from pits.

Description

Technical Field

[0002] The pit level measuring device is a device used to measure the level of liquid in a pit, and is mainly used in the fields of industry and environmental protection.

[0003] Existing pit level measurement devices mostly use ultrasonic transmitters to achieve measurement functions. However, there is a certain space between the foam generated inside the pit and the water level. The pit environment is complex, and the foam generated is caused by a variety of factors, such as chemical reactions, stirring or microbial activities of the substances in the pit. These foams have a certain thickness and unevenness. When using an ultrasonic transmitter to measure the liquid level, the ultrasonic wave encounters the foam layer during the propagation process. Due to the difference in physical properties between the foam and the liquid, the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave will change or produce reflection, scattering and other phenomena, resulting in deviations in the measurement results, which cannot accurately reflect the actual liquid level height in the pit, resulting in inaccurate data and overflow of pit wastewater.
