[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0031] This invention discloses a cryogenic level gauge with a leakage alarm structure. (Refer to...) Figures 1-9 A cryogenic level gauge with a leakage alarm structure includes a level gauge body 1, an alarm structure on the level gauge body 1, a transparent window 2 fixedly embedded on the level gauge body 1, a flange 7 installed at one end of the level gauge body 1, a protective cylinder 3 fixedly sleeved on the level gauge body 1, an end plate 6 at one end of the protective cylinder 3, and a protective structure on the protective cylinder 3.
[0032] The protective structure includes an annular groove 4 inside the protective cylinder 3, with an opening 8 on the wall of the annular groove 4 corresponding to the transparent window 2, and a glass cylinder 5 movably installed in the annular groove 4. The glass cylinder 5 is in the shape of a round tube. The protective cylinder 3 has an operating structure at one end, and cleaning structures are provided on both sides of the opening 8 inside the protective cylinder 3.
[0033] The operating structure includes a first inner groove 9 opened inside the protective cylinder 3 near one end of the end plate 6. A turntable 10 is movably arranged in the first inner groove 9. The first inner groove 9 is connected to the annular groove 4. One side of the turntable 10 is connected to one end of the glass cylinder 5. A rotating plate 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the other side of the turntable 10. A rotating block 11 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating plate 12. The rotating block 11 is cylindrical. A rotating sleeve 13 is set at one end of the rotating plate 12 through a positioning structure.
[0034] The positioning structure includes a slot 16 at one end of the end plate 6 through the rotating plate 12. A rotating column 14 is movably inserted into the slot 16. The end face of the rotating column 14 is square. One end of the rotating column 14 is connected to the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 13. A first spring 15 is sleeved on the rotating column 14. The two ends of the first spring 15 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the rotating plate 12 and the rotating sleeve 13. A positioning rod 17 is connected to the upper edge of the rotating sleeve 13. Multiple positioning holes 18 are opened at equal angles around the circumference of the end plate 6. One end of the positioning rod 17 is movably inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 18. The glass tube 5 and the protective tube 3 together provide protection for the liquid level gauge body 1. The operation can be observed through the glass tube 5 and the transparent window 2. When dust accumulates on the glass tube 5... When dealing with the problem of condensation and white frost, the rotating sleeve 13 is used to pull the rotating column 14 to move in the slot 16 of the rotating plate 12, and one end of the positioning rod 17 is pulled out from the positioning hole 18. The positioning of the rotating sleeve 13 is released on the end plate 6. Then, the rotating sleeve 13 is used to rotate the glass tube 5 back and forth. This can deal with the condensation and dust accumulation on the glass tube 5. When the exposed part of the glass tube 5 is scratched and affects the normal observation work, the rotating sleeve 13 can also be used to rotate the glass tube 5 and switch the other position of the glass tube 5 to the opening 8 for use. This ensures that the observation work can be carried out normally, while the glass tube 5 is fully utilized. It is also easy to operate, has a simpler structure, and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0035] The alarm structure includes a processing box 19 installed on the liquid level gauge body 1, a speaker 20 fixedly embedded in the processing box 19, a sensor installed inside the liquid level gauge body 1, and the sensor is connected to the processing device inside the processing box 19. When a leak occurs inside the liquid level gauge body 1, the sensor senses the liquid level inside the liquid level gauge body 1 and transmits the signal to the processing device inside the processing box 19. The processing device controls the speaker 20 to perform an alarm.
[0036] See Figures 1-9 The cleaning structure includes two grooves 21 opened on the protective cylinder 3. The two grooves 21 are distributed on both sides of the opening 8. The grooves 21 are connected to the annular groove 4. A sleeve 22 is set in the groove 21 through a flipping structure. A sponge cylinder 23 is tightly fitted on the sleeve 22. A sealing structure is set in the groove 21.
[0037] The flipping structure includes a first U-shaped block 25 disposed at one end of the groove 21, a first rotating shaft 24 rotating through the first U-shaped block 25, a flipping rod 26 fixedly sleeved on the first rotating shaft 24, one end of the flipping rod 26 fixedly connected to the sleeve 22, and a transmission structure disposed at the other end inside the protective cylinder 3;
[0038] The sealing structure includes a second U-shaped block 27 disposed on the side of the protective cylinder 3 near the groove 21. A second rotating shaft 28 rotates through the second U-shaped block 27. A sealing strip 29 is fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft 28. Two torsion springs are sleeved on the second rotating shaft 28. The two ends of the torsion springs are respectively connected to the inner walls of the sealing strip 29 and the second U-shaped block 27. A limiting strip 30 is provided on the inner side of the sealing strip 29. A limiting groove 31 is opened on the inner side of the limiting strip 30. A locking structure is provided between the sealing strip 29 and the protective cylinder 3.
[0039] The locking structure includes a locking block 32 installed on the end of the cover bar 29 away from the second rotating shaft 28. The locking block 32 has a locking groove 33. A fixing block 34 is provided on the side of the protective cylinder 3 near the other end of the groove 21. A locking strip 35 moves through the fixing block 34. The locking strip 35 is "L" shaped. A second spring 36 is connected between the locking strip 35 and the fixing block 34.
[0040] The transmission structure includes a second inner groove 37 located at the other end of the protective cylinder 3, which communicates with the annular groove 4. A rotating ring 38 is disposed in the second inner groove 37, with one end of the rotating ring 38 connected to the glass cylinder 5. A fixing ring 39 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating ring 38. One end of the first U-shaped block 25 is connected to a transmission rod 41, which rotatably inserts into the second inner groove 37. A gear 40 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the transmission rod 41, and the gear 40 meshes with the teeth on the inner wall of the fixing ring 39. When the glass cylinder 5 rotates, it rotates close to the sponge cylinder 23, thus cleaning the glass cylinder 5 more thoroughly. At the same time, the rotation of the glass cylinder 5 drives the rotating ring 38 and the fixing ring 39 to rotate as a whole, which is achieved through the gear 40 and the transmission rod. 41 drives the sleeve 22 and the sponge tube 23 to rotate in the same direction as the glass tube 5, increasing the static friction between the sponge tube 23 and the glass tube 5, making the glass tube 5 cleaner. When the sponge tube 23 needs to be replaced after long-term use, one end of the clip 35 can be pulled out from the slot 33 of the clip block 32 on the fixing block 34. Under the action of the torsion spring, the cover strip 29 and the limiting strip 30 pop out from the groove 21. The limiting strip 30 limits the sponge tube 23 in the groove 21, allowing the sponge tube 23 to rotate smoothly. After the cover strip 29 pops out, the sleeve 22 is rotated out from the groove 21 using the first rotating shaft 24 as the axis, and the sponge tube 23 is pulled out from the sleeve 22 for replacement. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0041] The implementation principle of a cryogenic level gauge with a leakage alarm structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: When the level gauge is working, the glass tube 5 and the protective tube 3 together protect the main body 1 of the level gauge. Observation can be carried out through the glass tube 5 and the transparent window 2. When dust accumulation or frost condensation occurs on the glass tube 5, the rotating sleeve 13 is used to pull the rotating column 14 to move in the slot 16 of the rotating plate 12, and one end of the positioning rod 17 is pulled out from the positioning hole 18. The positioning of the rotating sleeve 13 is released on the end plate 6. Then, the rotating sleeve 13 is used to rotate the glass tube 5 back and forth. This can deal with the frost condensation and dust accumulation on the glass tube 5. When the exposed part of the glass tube 5 is scratched and affects normal observation... During operation, the rotating sleeve 13 can be used to rotate the glass tube 5, switching other positions of the glass tube 5 to the opening 8 for use. This ensures that the observation work can proceed normally while making full use of the glass tube 5. It is also convenient to operate, has a simpler structure, and reduces manufacturing costs. When the glass tube 5 rotates, it rotates in close contact with the sponge tube 23, which makes the glass tube 5 cleaner. At the same time, the rotation of the glass tube 5 drives the rotating ring 38 and the fixed ring 39 to rotate as a whole. Through the gear 40 and the transmission rod 41, the sleeve 22 and the sponge tube 23 rotate as a whole in the same direction as the glass tube 5, which increases the static friction generated between the sponge tube 23 and the glass tube 5, making the glass tube 5 cleaner.
[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
