Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial automation detection and calibration equipment, and in particular to a semi-automatic multi-purpose level meter calibration detection equipment and an implementation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Level measuring instruments are widely used in industrial production to monitor and control liquid level, solid particle level and interface position, ensuring the safety and efficiency of industrial processes. However, existing level measuring instrument calibration and detection equipment still has many limitations.

[0003] At present, most calibration equipment can usually only achieve a single function, such as calibrating the instrument, but cannot be used in combination with the detection function. At the same time, these devices can usually only collect current data, and cannot visualize the signal into a curve graph or bar graph, making it difficult to perform periodic data collection and dynamic observation. In addition, the traditional calibration process mostly relies on manual operation, such as pushing the calibration target or adjusting the position of the rail car. The operation is cumbersome and susceptible to human error, making it difficult to meet high-precision requirements.

[0004] For contact level measuring instruments, such as magnetostrictive level gauges and float level gauges, the traditional calibration method usually uses acrylic tanks to complete the calibration by adjusting the rise and fall of the liquid level in the tank. However, this method has some restrictions on the types of tanks, and the tanks are installed at a high height, which poses certain safety risks. For instruments with long measuring probes, the size of the calibration equipment is further limited and cannot meet diverse needs.

[0005] In the calibration of non-contact level instruments, such as radar and ultrasonic level meters, the measuring range is usually large, ranging from a dozen meters to dozens of meters. The traditional calibration method requires the collaboration of multiple people, one of whom records the data while the other moves the reflective target or calibrates the target. However, this method is inefficient, and the measuring tools are mostly steel tape measures with low accuracy, which is difficult to meet the modern industry's demand for high-precision measurements of ±1mm.

[0006] In addition, the existing detection methods are also insufficient in the instrument maintenance process. Limited by the function of the equipment, it is usually only possible to detect single point data, and it is impossible to collect multi-point data or analyze dynamic change curves through range changes. For companies with high production pressure, traditional aging test benches cannot provide enough detection positions, further increasing the difficulty of instrument detection and maintenance.

[0007] Therefore, the key to solving the above problems is to develop a semi-automatic multi-purpose level instrument calibration and detection equipment that has dual functions of calibration and detection, is easy to operate, can realize calibration and detection of various instruments, and meets high-precision requirements. Summary of the invention

Repeat the operation to record the data multiple times to ensure consistency. a.

[0023] Taking the center point of the operating platform 2-1 as the reference axis, the sliding hard rail 3-2 and the driving motor 3-5 are respectively fixed to the bottom plate 1 by expansion bolts; the two sliding hard rails 3-2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 1, and the driving motor 3-5 is arranged between the two sliding hard rails 3-2. The reflective target 3-1 is fixed on the sliding hard rail 3-2, and the front and rear ends of the sliding hard rail 3-2 are respectively installed with reflective target limiters 3-3.

Figure 4 As shown, the contact level meter will enter the detection range 5-1 of the non-contact level meter due to its longer measuring probe, thereby generating false echo signal interference.

[0026] The implementation method of the present invention includes calibration of contact level instrument, calibration of non-contact level instrument and detection of contact and non-contact level instrument; the specific process is as follows: A. The calibration steps of contact level instrument are as follows Figure 5 As shown: a.

[0028] a. Calibration of sliding weight Manually operate the magnetic sliding weight to slide along the measuring probe, while the laser rangefinder feeds back the position change data in real time and records it in the recorder. Input the multi-point measurement data into the host computer software, compare and calibrate point by point to ensure that the data of all points are accurate. Repeat the operation and record the data multiple times to ensure consistency.

[0029] a. Data calibration and verification Calibrate the data of each measuring point, and compare the distance value fed back by the laser rangefinder with the output signal of the contact meter through the host computer software to check whether there is any deviation. If there is a deviation, perform offset calibration to eliminate the error.

[0030] a. Complete calibration Confirm that there is no obvious deviation in the data calibration of all measuring points, record all calibration data, and generate a calibration report, which includes the actual measurement value of each point, the calibrated value and the data consistency verification result. At this point, the calibration of the contact level instrument is completed.

[0031] B. The calibration steps of non-contact level instrument are as follows Figure 6 As shown: b. Preparation Fix the non-contact level meter in the meter bracket to ensure stable position. Confirm that all the connection wires of the recorder, integrated computer, laser rangefinder and motor drive are correct. Connect the terminal block to the non-contact level meter with a wire, start the integrated computer, open the upper computer software, check the initialization status of the equipment, and ensure that it is in normal working condition.

[0032] b. Initial calibration Adjust the laser rangefinder to align with the moving reflective target on the sliding hard rail. Ensure that the reflective target is firmly fixed and can slide freely. Adjust the feedback distance value of the laser rangefinder to be consistent with the unit conversion value of the non-contact level meter, feedback the distance data of the reflective target in real time, and input it into the host computer software to complete the preliminary verification.

[0033] b. Automatic mobile calibration of reflective targets The motor-driven adjustment device is used to pull the reflective target on the sliding hard rail through the stainless steel traction rope. To ensure the smooth movement of the reflective target, the laser rangefinder feeds back the movement data of the reflective target in real time and records it in the recorder.

[0034] b. Multi-point data collection and calibration Collect feedback data of the reflective target position point by point, and calibrate it through the host computer software to ensure that the data is consistent with the preset value each time. Repeatedly record multi-point data and calibrate point by point to ensure data accuracy and consistency.

[0035] b. Complete calibration Confirm that the calibration data of all points are correct, record and generate a calibration report, which includes the actual measured value, calibration value and consistency verification results. At this point, the calibration of the non-contact level instrument is completed.

[0036] C. The detection steps of contact and non-contact level instruments are as follows Figure 7 As shown: c. Preparation Fix the contact and non-contact level instruments in the instrument brackets respectively, and ensure that they are firmly installed and accurately positioned.

Check the operating status of auxiliary equipment such as laser rangefinders and recorders to ensure that they are initialized normally.

[0037] c. Initial testing Hang the magnetic sliding weight on the measuring probe of the contact level meter, or install the mobile reflective target at the detection position of the non-contact level meter, and move it to any measuring position. Observe the distance value fed back by the laser rangefinder in real time to ensure that it is within the same range as the value displayed by the level meter and there is no obvious deviation.

[0038] c. Graphical verification As shown in the figure, in the recorder, switch the data display mode to curve type, and the recorder draws a curve graph based on the measured data. Observe whether the curves of the contact or non-contact level meter and the laser rangefinder are basically overlapped in the curve graph. The higher the curve overlap, the smaller the detection error between the two.

[0039] c. Dynamic data detection Use the motor drive device to adjust the position of the magnetic sliding weight or moving reflective target to simulate the dynamic change process of the liquid level or material level. The laser rangefinder feeds back the distance value in real time during the change process and draws a dynamically changing curve in the recorder. Observe the continuity and trend of the curve, and compare it with the data change trend displayed by the level instrument to confirm the consistency of the two.

[0040] c. Static detection and recording Set a fixed data collection cycle in the recorder to keep the device stationary within the set cycle. The recorder will automatically record data changes and generate a curve chart. Analyze whether the curve has fluctuations, power failures or data distortion to ensure that the measurement signal of the level instrument is stable and reliable.

[0041] c. Complete the test Confirm that all dynamic and static detection processes are normal, and the data curves generated in the recorder are stable and error-free, and the detection work is completed. Finally, the detection data is exported and a detection report is generated.

[0042] At this point, the detection process of the level instrument is completed, ensuring that its measurement data is accurate, the signal is stable, and it is suitable for actual application needs.

Complete calibration: Confirm that the calibration data of all points are free of deviation, record and generate a calibration report, which includes the actual measurement values, calibration values ​​and consistency verification results.

6. The method for realizing calibration detection of a semi-automatic multi-purpose level instrument according to claim 3 is characterized in that: The detection of the contact and non-contact instruments comprises the following steps: c1. Preparation: Fix the contact and non-contact level instruments in the instrument brackets respectively to ensure that they are firmly installed and accurately positioned; use wires to correctly connect the wiring terminals to the contact and non-contact level instruments. After confirming that all lines are correct, power on the equipment and check the operating status of auxiliary equipment such as laser rangefinders and recorders to ensure that they are initialized normally; c2. Initial detection: Hang the magnetic sliding weight on the measuring probe of the contact level meter, or install the mobile reflective target at the detection position of the non-contact level meter, and move it to any measuring position, observe the distance value fed back by the laser rangefinder in real time, and ensure that it is within the same range as the value displayed by the level meter and there is no obvious deviation; c3. Graphical verification: In the recorder, switch the data display mode to curve type. The recorder draws a curve graph based on the measured data. Observe whether the curves of the contact or non-contact level meter and the laser rangefinder are basically overlapped. The higher the curve overlap, the smaller the detection error between the two. c4. Dynamic data detection: Use the motor drive device to adjust the position of the magnetic sliding weight or the moving reflective target to simulate the dynamic change process of the liquid level or the material level. The laser rangefinder will provide real-time feedback of the distance value during the change process, and draw a dynamically changing curve in the recorder to observe the continuity and trend of the curve, and compare it with the data change trend displayed by the level instrument to confirm the consistency between the two. c5. Static detection and recording: Set a fixed data collection cycle in the recorder to keep the device stationary within the set cycle. The recorder will automatically record data changes and generate a curve chart to analyze whether the curve has fluctuations, power failures or data distortion, ensuring that the measurement signal of the level instrument is stable and reliable; c6. Complete the test: Confirm that there are no abnormalities in all dynamic and static detection processes, and that the data curves generated in the recorder are stable and error-free. Complete the detection work, and finally export the detection data and generate a detection report.
