Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid level meter calibration, and in particular to a special measurement and calibration device for liquid level meters. Background Art

[0002] The liquid level meter needs to be calibrated before leaving the factory to ensure its liquid level measurement accuracy. The measurement method is mainly to first record the current height of the liquid level, then measure it with the liquid level meter, and finally compare the values. If the value of the liquid level meter can match the recorded value, it means that the liquid level meter is good. In order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, it is necessary to continuously adjust the height of the liquid level and perform multiple value comparisons.

[0003] When the calibration device is calibrated for the radar level meter, the calibration device needs to be installed in advance. During the calibration, due to the simple environment, it is impossible to provide a completely horizontal table to place the calibration device. If the angle of the calibration device deviates, it is easy to cause an error in the calibration of the radar level meter, affecting the calibration of the radar level meter. In addition, the existing calibration device has a single structure, which mainly adjusts the liquid level height by manually increasing or decreasing the amount of liquid.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a special metrological calibration device for a liquid level meter, comprising a leg 1, wherein the number of the legs 1 is three, the top ends of the three legs 1 are fixedly connected with a same vertical adjustment mechanism 2, the legs 1 are distributed in a circular array on the side of the vertical adjustment mechanism 2, a liquid control calibration mechanism 3 is detachably installed in the vertical adjustment mechanism 2, an anti-shake support assembly 5 is detachably provided on the outer side of the liquid control calibration mechanism 3, the anti-shake support assembly 5 is connected to the three legs 1, the liquid control calibration mechanism 3 will automatically flip over and maintain a vertical state after liquid is injected, the anti-shake support assembly 5 is used to maintain the vertical state of the liquid control calibration mechanism 3, and a clamping mechanism 4 for clamping the liquid level meter body is fixedly installed on the top of the liquid control calibration mechanism 3.

[0028] The vertical adjustment mechanism 2 includes an annular ring 1 21, the top ends of the three legs 1 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular ring 1 21, an annular ring 22 is rollingly installed on the inner side of the annular ring 1 21, an annular ring 3 23 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the annular ring 22, an annular ring 4 24 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the annular ring 3 23, and the annular ring 4 24 is detachably mounted on the outer side of the liquid control verification mechanism 3.

[0029] Two coaxially arranged rotating shafts 1 221 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the annular ring 22, and rollers 222 are rotatably sleeved on the two annular rings 1 21. An annular groove 1 211 is opened on the inner side of the annular ring 1 21, and the two rollers 222 are rollingly installed in the annular groove 1 211. Two coaxially arranged rotating shafts 231 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the annular ring 3 23, and the two rotating shafts 231 both penetrate the annular ring 22 and are rotatably connected to the annular ring 22, and the rotating shafts 231 and the rotating shaft 1 221 are vertically distributed.

[0030] The liquid control and verification mechanism 3 includes a measuring cup 31, an annular ring 21 is detachably mounted on the outside of the measuring cup 31, a supporting ring 311 is fixedly mounted on the top of the measuring cup 31, a drain valve 32 and a drain pipe 313 are fixedly mounted through the bottom of the measuring cup 31, and the liquid control and verification mechanism 3 also includes a syringe 33, and a hose 34 is connected between the drain pipe 313 and the syringe 33.

[0031] Furthermore, by sucking the liquid in the measuring cup 31 through the syringe 33, the liquid level height inside the measuring cup 31 can be accurately controlled without causing waste or leakage of the liquid.

[0032] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a rectangular plate 41 fixedly mounted on the top of the supporting ring 311, and four rectangular blocks 42 distributed in a rectangular shape are fixedly mounted on the top of the rectangular plate 41, wherein a same guide rod 43 is fixedly mounted through two of the rectangular blocks 42, and a same screw rod 44 is rotatably mounted through the other two rectangular blocks 42, two sliders 46 are slidably sleeved on the guide rod 43, and two moving blocks 45 are threadedly sleeved on the screw rod 44, and a same cross plate 47 is fixedly mounted on the top of the sliders 46 and the moving blocks 45 on the same side, and a clamping plate 49 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the two cross plates 47, a hand wheel 48 is fixedly mounted on one end of the screw rod 44, and a circular level ruler 411 is fixedly mounted on the top of the rectangular plate 41, and a through hole 410 is opened on the rectangular plate 41, and the through hole 410 is coaxially arranged with the measuring cup 31.

[0033] Furthermore, the circular level ruler 411 can be used to observe whether the rectangular plate 41 is in a horizontal state. Only when the rectangular plate 41 is in a horizontal state can the calibration of the liquid level meter body be more standardized.

[0034] The screw rod 44 is provided with two sections of threads with opposite rotation directions, and the two moving blocks 45 are respectively matched with the threads with corresponding rotation directions, and the two clamping plates 49 are both arranged in a V shape on the sides close to each other.

[0035] Furthermore, since the sides of the two clamping plates 49 that are close to each other are both arranged in a V-shape, the two clamping plates 49 can clamp the liquid level meter bodies of different sizes.

[0036] The anti-shake support assembly 5 includes an open ring 1 51 detachably mounted on the outside of the measuring cup 31, an annular groove 2 511 is provided on the outside of the open ring 1 51, an open ring 2 52 is rotatably installed in the annular groove 2 511, both the open ring 1 51 and the open ring 2 52 are open, and a support mechanism 53 is connected between the open ring 2 52 and the support leg 1.

[0037] Furthermore, since the opening ring 1 51 and the opening ring 2 52 are both set as openings, it is convenient for the staff to observe the scale window 312 from the openings.

Since the damping telescopic rod 531 is rotatably connected to the support leg 1 and the open ring 2 52 through the hinge block 1 532 and the hinge block 2 533 respectively, the damping telescopic rod 531 can also be turned over and extended accordingly during the process of following the measuring cup 31 to flip, ensuring that the three damping telescopic rods 531 can provide stable support for the open ring 1 51 and the open ring 2 52, and ensuring that the measuring cup 31 will not swing randomly when the device is bumped.

[0040] A scale window 312 is disposed on the outer side of the measuring cup 31 .

[0041] In this embodiment: when in use, the device is first placed on a tabletop so that the bottoms of the three legs 1 are in contact with the tabletop, and then the liquid level meter body is passed through the through hole 410, and then the hand wheel 48 is turned by hand, and the hand wheel 48 rotates and drives the screw rod 44 to rotate, and the screw rod 44 rotates to drive the two horizontal plates 47 to approach each other through the two moving blocks 45, and the two horizontal plates 47 drive the two clamping plates 49 to approach each other and clamp the liquid level meter body;

[0042] Then, liquid is injected into the measuring cup 31 from the top opening. As the amount of liquid in the measuring cup 31 increases, its own weight increases continuously. Under the action of gravity, the measuring cup 31 rotates with the annular ring 4 24, the annular ring 3 23 and the two rotating shafts 231 as the center of the circle, and the annular ring 1 21 drives the two rollers 222 to roll in the annular groove 1 211, so that the measuring cup 31 can maintain a vertical state.

[0043] In the process of the measuring cup 31 driving the annular ring 22 and the annular ring 3 23 to turn over, the open ring 1 51 and the open ring 2 52 will make the three supporting mechanisms 53 show different degrees of expansion and contraction, and in the process of the annular ring 22 rotating around the axis of the annular ring 1 21 as the center, the measuring cup 31 will drive the open ring 1 51 to rotate around the axis of the open ring 2 52 as the center, and then the alignment and calibration are performed by observing the liquid level height on the scale window 312 and the liquid level height on the liquid level meter body;

[0044] The liquid in the measuring cup 31 is sucked by the syringe 33, and the liquid level height inside the measuring cup 31 is adjusted to align and calibrate with the liquid level height on the liquid level meter body for multiple times, thereby completing the calibration of the liquid level meter body.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
