DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides an online conductivity monitor supporting HART communication, comprising a fixing ring 100, a conductivity electrode 101, two waterproof housings 102, two coils 103, an embedded meter chip 104, a wire 105, and a traction assembly. The two waterproof housings 102 are fixedly connected to the fixing ring 100 and are located at both ends of the fixing ring 100. The two coils 103 are respectively embedded in the corresponding waterproof housings 102 and are coaxially arranged. The embedded meter chip 104 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 100 and is located in the fixing ring 100. The conductivity electrode 101 is located below the fixing ring 100. The two ends of the wire 105 are respectively connected to the embedded meter chip 104 and the conductivity electrode 101. The traction assembly is respectively connected to the fixing ring 100 and the conductivity electrode 101.
[0023] In this embodiment, the sensor comprises the fixing ring 100, the waterproof housing 102, the two coils 103, and the embedded meter chip 104. The two coils 103 are respectively sealed in the waterproof housing 102. The two coils 103 are divided into a primary coil and a secondary coil. The embedded meter chip 104 transmits a high-frequency AC sinusoidal wave signal to the primary coil. The secondary coil generates an induced AC signal due to electromagnetic induction. The conductivity electrode 101 driven by the traction assembly is immersed in the sewage. The amplitude of the induced signal is related to the conductive ion content in the sewage. The signal analysis unit of the embedded meter chip 104 collects and amplifies the AC signal induced by the other coil 103 through a signal detection circuit, and then transmits the processed signal to a data processing module. The data processing module calculates the conductive ion content in the sewage based on a pre-established correspondence model between the signal amplitude and the conductive ion content. In the above process, the conductivity monitoring adopts a non-contact method. The sensor is not immersed in the sewage and does not come into direct contact with the liquid.
[0024] The instrument's operating principle: The embedded instrument chip 104 generates a 1K sinusoidal wave signal, which is used to generate an excitation signal through a MOS tube and applied to the sensor's primary coil. The signal from the secondary coil undergoes A / D conversion and is stored on the microcontroller. Using FFT digital filtering technology, the amplitude of the signal at a specific frequency is extracted. The signal amplitude is linearly correlated with the conductivity value in the sewage. A two-point calibration is used to calculate the K and B values of the amplitude-conductivity relationship curve: Y = KX + B. X (amplitude) yields Y (conductivity). This approach prevents corrosion of the electrode metal sheet in sewage, extending the sensor's service life, improving data stability, and significantly reducing maintenance.
[0025] Furthermore, the traction assembly includes a base 106, a bracket 107, a fixing unit, a fixing sleeve 108, a traction rod 109 and a lifting unit. The bracket 107 is fixedly arranged above the base 106, the fixing unit is arranged above the bracket 107, the bracket 107 has a mounting groove 110, the lifting unit is arranged in the mounting groove 110, one end of the traction rod 109 is connected to the lifting unit, the fixing sleeve 108 is connected to the other end of the traction rod 109, and the conductivity electrode 101 is fixedly connected to the fixing sleeve 108.
[0026] In this embodiment, when in use, the sensor is fixed in the fixing unit of the bracket 107, and then the lifting unit in the installation groove 110 is started. The lifting unit drives the traction rod 109 to move downward, and the conductivity electrode 101 will be driven downward, so that the conductivity electrode 101 enters the sewage, and then the sewage is monitored by starting the lifting component.
[0027] Furthermore, the lifting unit includes a threaded rod 111, a motor 112 and a sleeve 113. The motor 112 is fixedly connected to the bracket 107 and is located in the mounting groove 110. The threaded rod 111 is rotatably set in the mounting groove 110. The threaded rod 111 is also connected to the output end of the motor 112 and is located in the mounting groove 110. The sleeve 113 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 111 and threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 111. The sleeve 113 is also fixedly connected to the traction rod 109.
[0028] In this embodiment, when controlling the conductivity electrode 101 to move downward, the motor 112 in the mounting groove 110 is started, and the motor 112 controls the threaded rod 111 to rotate in the mounting groove 110. Since the sleeve 113 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 111, the sleeve 113 moves downward in the mounting groove 110. At the same time, the sleeve 113 drives the conductivity electrode 101 to move downward through the traction rod 109 and the fixing sleeve 108. After the movement is appropriate, the motor 112 is stopped.
[0029] Furthermore, the fixing unit includes a U-shaped frame 114, two supporting springs 115 and two sleeves 116. The U-shaped frame 114 is fixedly connected to the bracket 107 and is located on the outer wall of the bracket 107. The two sleeves 116 are symmetrically arranged in the U-shaped frame 114. The two ends of each supporting spring 115 are respectively fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 114 and the corresponding sleeve 116.
[0030] In this embodiment, when in use, by placing the sensor between the two sleeves 116 , each sleeve 116 is compressed to squeeze the holding spring 115 respectively, and at the same time, under the elastic force of the holding spring 115 , the two sleeves 116 clamp and fix the sensor.
[0031] Furthermore, the fixing unit further includes two positioning arc blocks 117 , and the two positioning arc blocks 117 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding jackets 116 and are respectively located above the jackets 116 .
[0032] In this embodiment, by arranging the positioning arc block 117 above each of the jackets 116 , the sensor can be easily inserted between the two jackets 116 by squeezing the positioning arc block 117 , thereby facilitating operation.
[0033] Furthermore, the conductivity online monitor supporting HART communication further includes two sets of anti-slip components, and both sets of the anti-slip components are arranged on the outer side wall of the base 106 .
[0034] In this embodiment, the anti-skid component is provided on the outer side of the base 106 to prevent the base 106 from shifting on the ground, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.
[0035] Furthermore, the anti-slip assembly includes a mounting plate 118, a pedal board 119, a fixed cone rod 120 and an anti-slip pad 121. The mounting plate 118 is fixedly connected to the base 106 and is located on the outer wall of the base 106. The fixed cone rod 120 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 118 and passes through the mounting plate 118. The pedal board 119 is fixedly connected to the fixed cone rod 120 and is located above the fixed cone rod 120. The anti-slip pad 121 is fixedly connected to the pedal board 119 and is located above the pedal board 119.
[0036] In this embodiment, when in use, the device is moved to the detection area, and then the staff applies force to step on the pedal 119 on the outside of the base 106. Then, the fixed cone rod 120 will be forced to slide down in the mounting plate 118 until the fixed cone rod 120 is inserted into the ground. By arranging the anti-slip pad 121 above the pedal 119, the friction of the staff on the pedal 119 can be increased, which facilitates the fixed cone rod 120 to enter the ground. In the above manner, the fixed cone rod 120 is inserted into the ground to limit the base 106, thereby avoiding the device from shifting during use and improving stability.
[0037] Furthermore, the anti-slip assembly also includes a connecting rod 122 and a traction spring 123. The connecting rod 122 is fixedly connected to the fixed cone rod 120 and is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed cone rod 120. The two ends of the traction spring 123 are respectively fixedly connected to the pedal 119 and the mounting plate 118, and are sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed cone rod 120.
[0038] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 122 is arranged on the outside of the fixed cone rod 120, and the connecting rod 122 limits the range of movement of the fixed cone rod 120 on the mounting plate 118, thereby preventing the fixed cone rod 120 from detaching from the mounting plate 118. The staff can also conveniently move the fixed cone rod 120 out of the ground through the connecting rod 122, and the operation is very simple. In addition, the traction spring 123 is provided. When the fixed cone rod 120 is not in use, the traction spring 123 will support the pedal 119 to prevent the fixed cone rod 120 from sagging and contacting the ground.
[0039] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
