Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid level measurement, and in particular to a method for measuring liquid level based on dielectric constant. Background Art

[0002] Dielectric constant liquid level measurement is a liquid level measurement method based on the difference in dielectric properties of the medium. This method uses a capacitive liquid level gauge. When the liquid level rises or falls, the distance between the capacitor plates will change. By accurately measuring the change in this distance height and combining the correspondence between the plate distance and the liquid level, accurate measurement of the liquid level can be achieved. Dielectric constant liquid level measurement has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, good stability, and strong adaptability. It is widely used in various liquid level measurement occasions. At the same time, this method can also realize non-contact measurement, avoiding problems such as liquid leakage and contamination that may exist in traditional liquid level measurement methods. Therefore, dielectric constant liquid level measurement has broad application prospects in industrial automation, environmental monitoring and other fields.

[0003] Existing capacitors usually require bolts for fixing during installation, which makes disassembly more complicated. When tighter parts need to be replaced, the efficiency is low and it is easy to damage the capacitor plates, reducing the accuracy of liquid level measurement.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign the inspection helmet to effectively prevent the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a method for measuring liquid level based on dielectric constant to solve the problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measuring liquid level based on dielectric constant, comprising: a fixed seat, a vertical tube fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed seat, a vertical groove opened on the surface of the vertical tube, a support seat threadedly connected to the bottom of the vertical tube, four guide blocks slidably connected inside the vertical grooves, a fixed rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide block, a floating plate arranged on the outer side of the fixed rod, pole plates arranged on the top of the floating plate and the bottom of the fixed seat, a positioning mechanism arranged on the outer side of the pole plate, and the positioning mechanism is used to fix the pole plate.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, the structure is stable and the installation is convenient: the threaded connection design of the fixed seat, vertical pipe and support seat ensures the stable installation of the entire measuring device, and is convenient for later maintenance and disassembly. The sliding connection between the guide block and the vertical slot not only ensures the vertical lifting of the floating plate, but also enhances the stability of the device and accurate measurement: the floating plate rises and falls with the liquid level, driving the change of the capacitance value between the electrode on the fixed rod and the electrode at the bottom of the fixed seat, and using the dielectric constant principle to achieve accurate measurement of the liquid level. This non-contact measurement method reduces errors and improves the accuracy of measurement.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes an inner tube, the surface of the inner wall of the inner tube is fixedly connected to a cross bar, the surface of the cross bar is sleeved with a first compression spring, the surface of the cross bar is slidably connected to a clamping block, and the top of the clamping block is rounded.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, through the action of the first compression spring, the clamping block can be moved to both sides to fix the first outer tube. At the same time, the top of the clamping block is rounded.

[0012] Through the above technical scheme, the setting of the sliding bar facilitates the limiting of the clamping block, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the clamping block. At the same time, the number of the clamping blocks is set to four, which effectively improves the stability of the clamping block fixing the first outer tube, prevents the first outer tube from shaking and deflecting, improves the efficiency of fixing the first outer tube, and thus improves the efficiency of fixing the electrode plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a first outer tube and a second outer tube are arranged on the outer side of the inner tube, a clamping groove is opened on the surface of the first outer tube, the inside of the clamping groove is rounded corresponding to the clamping block, and the clamping groove runs through the surface of the first outer tube.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, by setting the clamping groove, it is convenient to efficiently connect the clamping block with the first outer tube, so that the electrode plate is efficient and stable during the moving operation.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the first arc plate and the second arc plate move inward to compress the second compression spring so that the extrusion block can be efficiently extruded and reset, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly of the inner tube and the first, and facilitating users to quickly install and disassemble.

[0017] Furthermore, buttons are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the first arc plate and the second arc plate, and the buttons are fixedly passed through the outer side of the second outer tube. Extrusion blocks are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the first arc plate and the second arc plate, and the extrusion blocks are used in conjunction with the tightening blocks.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, through the setting of the button, it is convenient to squeeze the first arc plate and the second arc plate, so that the first arc plate and the second arc plate move inward, so that the extrusion block is squeezed while the compression spring is compressed, so that the pressing block is driven to move inward by the extrusion block, so that the pressing block enters the interior of the inner tube, so as to be quickly disassembled.

[0019] Furthermore, the top of the second arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the electrode plate, and the surface of the button and the bottom of the second outer tube are both provided with sealing rings, and the material of the sealing rings is rubber.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, by setting the sealing ring, it is convenient to seal the second outer tube to prevent liquid from entering the interior of the second outer tube, thereby ensuring the sealing inside the second outer tube and improving the stability and safety of the parts.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, through the setting of the central processing unit, it is convenient to efficiently calculate the liquid level change, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the liquid level change measurement, and facilitating the use of users.

[0023] Furthermore, a calculation formula D=∈*a / c is provided inside the central processing unit, wherein: c is the plate value of the plate, in farad (F), ∈ is the dielectric constant of the medium between the plates, in farad per meter (F / m), A is the area of ​​the plate, in square meters (㎡), and D is the distance between the plates, in meters (m).
