Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water pollution level gauge technology, and specifically relates to a water pollution treatment device that uses a level gauge for measurement. Background Technology

[0002] A pressure level gauge is a sensor for measuring liquid level, including hydrostatic level gauges, level transmitters, level sensors, and water level sensors. It is based on the principle that the hydrostatic pressure of the measured liquid is proportional to the height of the liquid. It uses advanced foreign isolated diffused silicon sensing elements to convert the hydrostatic pressure into an electrical signal. After temperature compensation and linear correction, it is converted into a standard electrical signal. It is suitable for measuring the liquid level of various media in systems and industries such as petrochemical, metallurgy, power, pharmaceutical, water supply and drainage, and environmental protection.

[0003] During water pollution treatment, level gauges are needed to detect the content of wastewater. The assembly of level gauges is generally performed by sealing with flanges and O-rings. This requires the use of appropriate screws to constrain the flange, which puts a lot of load on the O-rings and causes them to twist and dent. This results in the flange and O-rings being tightly attached, which is not conducive to separation. When the O-rings need to be replaced or the level gauge needs to be repaired and cleaned, it is not convenient to handle the situation, especially in scenarios with a lot of deposits in wastewater tanks. Therefore, a water pollution treatment device with level gauge measurement is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a water pollution treatment device for measuring liquid level, which aims to solve the problem that when using appropriate screws to constrain the flange, the O-ring bears a large load and twists and dents, resulting in the flange and O-ring being tightly attached, which is not conducive to separation. This makes it difficult to handle during O-ring replacement and liquid level gauge maintenance and cleaning, especially in scenarios with a lot of deposits such as sewage tanks.

The first ring-shaped platform and the side of the first elastic element farther from the connecting ring are fixedly connected. Multiple connecting rods are installed at equal intervals on the side of the first ring-shaped platform farther from the first elastic element, and a second ring-shaped platform is installed on the side of the multiple connecting rods farther from the first ring-shaped platform. The second ring-shaped platform is fixedly connected to the O-ring.

[0007] Preferably, each side of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the first and second annular platforms, the sidewall of the sliding platform is provided with external threads, the inner wall of the connecting platform is provided with internal threads, and the sliding platform and the connecting platform are threaded together.

[0008] Preferably, the first fixed cylinder and the connecting platform are screwed together, and the sliding platform and the connecting cylinder are slidably connected. The sliding platform and the connecting ring are integral structures. The first and second ring-shaped platforms are each slidably connected to the inner wall of the first fixed cylinder. A protruding ring is fixed to one side wall of the first fixed cylinder. An indentation is reserved on the side of the first fixed cylinder closer to the protruding ring. Both the protruding ring and the indentation are ring-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, a second fixed cylinder is installed on one side of the first fixed cylinder, a channel is reserved in the second fixed cylinder, a connecting cylinder is fixed to the side of the second fixed cylinder farther from the first fixed cylinder, the connecting cylinder and the channel are connected to each other, a sealing connection part is installed on the side of the second fixed cylinder closer to the O-ring, and the sealing connection part is fixed to the side of the second fixed cylinder closer to the O-ring.

[0010] Preferably, the fixed ring body is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed cylinder two that is closer to the fixed cylinder one. A connecting outer ring is installed on the side wall of the fixed cylinder two. The connecting outer ring and the fixed cylinder two are connected by sliding. An elastic element two is installed inside the connecting outer ring. Both sides of the elastic element two are fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder two along with the connecting outer ring.

[0011] Preferably, the side of the fixed ring closer to the connecting platform has a mirror-image reserved stop ball cavity, and each of the two stop ball cavities is equipped with a ball. The side of the inner wall of the connecting outer ring closer to the ball is equipped with a stop protrusion.

[0012] Preferably, the stop protrusion and the connecting outer ring are fixedly connected, the stop protrusion and the connecting outer ring are integral structures, and the radial span of the sphere exceeds the length of both sides of the stop sphere cavity.

[0013] Preferably, the second annular platform has multiple connecting ports reserved at equal intervals in a ring shape, and a magnet is installed in each of the multiple connecting ports. The magnet is fixedly connected to the connecting port, and a fixing piece is installed on the side of the O-ring closer to the second annular platform.

[0014] Preferably, the fixing plate and the O-ring are fixed to the side closer to the second ring-shaped platform, the fixing plate is fixed to the second magnet, and the fixing plate and the O-ring are integrally constructed.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, the connecting platform and the sliding platform are connected by a thread, allowing the sliding platform to slide along the direction of the connecting cylinder towards the position of the elastic element one. The sliding platform pulls the connecting ring to move, causing the connecting ring to pull the elastic element one. The elastic element one, under the pressure of the connecting ring, drives the ring-shaped platform two, thereby allowing the ring-shaped platform two to have a greater load on the O-ring, increasing the load between the O-ring and the sealing connection, and providing better sealing capability. To reduce the load during sealing, the connecting platform is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the connecting platform to pull the sliding platform to move in the opposite direction, reducing the load borne by the elastic element one, thereby reducing the load of the elastic element one acting on the O-ring.

[0016] 2. This invention connects the fixing plate to the connection port on the ring-shaped platform two, allowing the fixing plate to pull the magnet two and the magnet one in the connection port to interact with each other. The magnet has a traction force, which can firmly fix the O-ring in the appropriate position, allowing the operator to easily perform the separation action without the need for other equipment assistance. This reduces the probability of damage to the structure and O-ring during disassembly. The O-ring can be quickly and reliably fixed in the appropriate position, making replacement and maintenance cleaning more efficient and the assembly more stable.

[0017] 3. In this invention, the elastic element 2 drives the outer ring of the connector to slide towards the connecting platform. The outer ring of the connector pulls the stop protrusion to slide, thereby the ball bears the load of the stop protrusion. The ball is embedded in the recessed opening through the stop ball cavity, and the stop protrusion slides to the top of the ball, thereby achieving the fixed connection between the first connecting cylinder and the connecting cylinder. During disassembly, the outer ring of the connector is driven to one side, and the outer ring of the connector pulls the stop protrusion to slide, thereby releasing the constraint of the stop protrusion in the position of the ball. The second connecting cylinder is driven to one side, and the ball can separate from the recessed opening under external force, allowing the second connecting cylinder and the first connecting cylinder to be easily separated. Therefore, during the disassembly of the liquid level gauge body, it can be easily disassembled, which is more efficient and facilitates assembly and replacement.

A ring-shaped platform 135 is installed on the side of the elastic element 134 furthest from the connecting ring 133. The ring-shaped platform 135 and the side of the elastic element 134 furthest from the connecting ring 133 are fixedly connected.

A second annular platform 137 is installed on the side of the connecting rods 136 further from the first annular platform 135. The second annular platform 137 is fixedly connected to an O-ring 138. The elastic element 134, through the pressure of the connecting ring 133, drives the second annular platform 137, thereby increasing the load on the O-ring 138 and improving the load between the O-ring 138 and the sealing connection 152, resulting in better sealing capability. Each connecting rod 136 is fixedly connected to both sides of the first annular platform 135 and the second annular platform 137. External threads are pre-drilled on the sidewall of the sliding platform 132, and internal threads are pre-drilled on the inner wall of the connecting platform 13. The sliding platform 132 and the connecting platform 13 are threaded together, allowing… The sliding platform 132 can slide along the direction of the connecting cylinder 14 toward the position of the elastic element 134, thereby allowing the sliding platform 132 to pull the connecting ring 133 to move, and the elastic element 134 to bear the load of the connecting ring 133; the fixed cylinder 12 and the connecting platform 13 are screwed together, the sliding platform 132 and the connecting cylinder 14 are slidably connected, the sliding platform 132 and the connecting ring 133 are integral structures, the annular platform 135 and the annular platform 2 137 are each slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 12, the protruding ring 122 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed cylinder 12, and the side of the fixed cylinder 12 closer to the protruding ring 122 has a recessed opening 123 reserved, and both the protruding ring 122 and the recessed opening 123 are annularly installed.

[0022] Fixed cylinder 12 is connected to fixed cylinder 2 15 on one side. A passage 142 is reserved inside fixed cylinder 2 15. A connecting cylinder 14 is fixed to the side of fixed cylinder 2 15 furthest from fixed cylinder 12. Connecting cylinder 14 and passage 142 are interconnected. A sealing connection part 152 is installed on the side of fixed cylinder 2 15 closer to O-ring 138. The sealing connection part 152 is fixed to the side of fixed cylinder 2 15 closer to O-ring 138. O-ring 13... The sealing contact between the 8 and the sealing connection 152 enhances the sealing capability, reduces the resistance of the O-ring 138, and reduces contact loss. The fixing ring body 153 is fixed to the side of the fixing cylinder 2 15 closer to the fixing cylinder 1 12. A connecting outer ring 16 is installed on the side wall of the fixing cylinder 2 15, and the connecting outer ring 16 and the fixing cylinder 2 15 are connected by sliding. An elastic element 2 162 is installed inside the connecting outer ring 16, with elastic elements 2 162 having elastic elements on both sides... The outer ring 16 is fixedly connected to the second connecting cylinder 15. The second elastic element 162 can drive the outer ring 16 to slide towards the connecting platform 13, allowing the outer ring 16 to pull the stop protrusion 163 to slide, thereby the ball 155 bears the load of the stop protrusion 163. The side of the fixed ring 153 closer to the connecting platform 13 has a mirror image reserved stop ball cavity 154, and each of the two stop ball cavities 154 is equipped with a ball 155. The inner wall of the outer ring 16 is spaced from the wall of the connecting ring 16. A stop protrusion 163 is installed on the side closer to the sphere 155. The stop protrusion 163 and the connecting outer ring 16 are fixedly connected. The stop protrusion 163 and the connecting outer ring 16 are integral structures. The radial span of the sphere 155 exceeds the length of both sides of the stop ball cavity 154. The sphere 155 is embedded in the recess 123 through the stop ball cavity 154. The sphere 155 is constrained by the stop protrusion 163, so that the fixed cylinder 2 15 and the fixed cylinder 1 12 can be easily separated and replaced.

[0023] The circular platform 137 has multiple pre-reserved connecting ports 19 at equal intervals. Each connecting port 19 contains a magnet 192, which is fixedly connected to the connecting port 19. The O-ring 138 has a fixing plate 193 installed on the side closer to the circular platform 137. The fixing plate 193 is fixedly connected to the side of the O-ring 138 closer to the circular platform 137. The fixing plate 193 is also fixedly connected to the magnet 194. The fixing plate 193 and the O-ring 138 are integrated into one structure, allowing the fixing plate 193 to pull the magnet 194 and the magnet 192 in the connecting port 19 to interact with each other. This securely fixes the O-ring 138 in the appropriate position.

[0024] The specific implementation method is as follows: the fixed connecting cylinder 15 is assembled on the sewage treatment tank 111. During assembly, the line of the level gauge body 11 can pass through the connecting cylinder 14 and enter the sewage treatment tank 111 to measure the liquid level. During use, the operator connects the fixed connecting piece 193 to the connecting port 19 on the ring platform 137, so that the fixed connecting piece 193 pulls the magnet 194 and the magnet 192 in the connecting port 19 to interact with each other. The magnet has a traction force, which can firmly fix the O-ring 138 in the appropriate position, allowing the operator to easily perform the separation action without the need for other equipment assistance, reducing the probability of damage to the structure and O-ring during disassembly. The O-ring 138 can be quickly and reliably fixed in the appropriate position, making the replacement, maintenance and cleaning of the level gauge body 11 more efficient. Rotate the connecting platform 13. The connecting platform 13 and the sliding platform 132 are connected by a screw, allowing the sliding platform 132 to slide along the position of the connecting cylinder 14 towards the position of the elastic element 134. The sliding platform 132 pulls the connecting ring 133 to move, allowing the connecting ring 133 to pull the elastic element 134. The elastic element 134, through the pressure of the bearing connecting ring 133, drives the ring platform 137, thereby allowing the ring platform 137 to have a greater load on the O-ring 138, increasing the load between the O-ring 138 and the sealing connection 152, resulting in better sealing ability. To reduce the load during sealing, rotate the connecting platform 13 in the opposite direction. The connecting platform 13 pulls the sliding platform 132 to move in the opposite direction, reducing the load borne by the elastic element 134, thereby reducing the load of the elastic element 134 acting on the O-ring 138. Slide the outer connecting ring 16 toward the fixed connecting cylinder 15, and insert the fixed connecting cylinder 12 into the fixed connecting ring body 153. Release the outer connecting ring 16. The elastic element 2 162 drives the outer connecting ring 16 to slide toward the connecting platform 13. The outer connecting ring 16 pulls the stop protrusion 163 to slide, thereby the ball 155 bears the load of the stop protrusion 163. The ball 155 is embedded in the recess 123 through the stop ball cavity 154, and the stop protrusion 163 slides. Move it to the top of the sphere 155, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first connecting cylinder 12 and the connecting cylinder 14. During disassembly, drive the outer connecting ring 16 to one side. The outer connecting ring 16 pulls the stop protrusion 163 to slide, thereby releasing the constraint of the stop protrusion 163 in the position of the sphere 155. Drive the second connecting cylinder 15 to one side. The sphere 155 can be separated from the recess 123 under external force, allowing the second connecting cylinder 15 and the first connecting cylinder 12 to be easily separated.
