Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of liquid level measurement and indication technology, and more specifically, to a sensor-based intelligent liquid level display device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid level gauges are commonly used measuring devices in industrial production and daily life to monitor the liquid level in liquid containers. Traditional liquid level gauges mainly judge the liquid level by visually observing the liquid level. This method is simple and intuitive, but it has disadvantages such as low accuracy, susceptibility to human factors, and inability to monitor in real time. With the development of industrial automation, the requirements for the accuracy and real-time performance of liquid level measurement are becoming increasingly higher, and traditional liquid level gauges can no longer meet the needs of modern industry. In recent years, various electronic level gauges have appeared on the market. Float-type level gauges indicate liquid level by the up-and-down movement of a float. They are simple in structure but have low accuracy and are easily affected by liquid viscosity and density. Ultrasonic level gauges measure liquid level using the principle of ultrasonic wave reflection, offering high accuracy but are expensive and sensitive to liquid surface fluctuations. Radar level gauges measure liquid level by electromagnetic wave reflection and are suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure environments, but the equipment is complex and difficult to install and maintain. Capacitive level gauges reflect liquid level by measuring changes in capacitance, but they have requirements on the dielectric constant of the liquid and their applicability is limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent liquid level detection and display method that can improve monitoring accuracy, reduce installation complexity, and achieve simultaneous measurement of liquid level and temperature, as well as low-level alarm.

[0003] Effective technical solutions are urgently needed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a device diagram of a sensor-based intelligent liquid level display device according to some embodiments of this application. The sensor-based intelligent liquid level display device includes: The liquid level gauge body (1), display module (2), bottom screw (3), sensor module (4) and alarm module (5); The liquid level gauge body (1) is used to fix the display module (2), bottom screw (3), sensor module (4) and alarm module (5), and to store the transmission lines of the display module (2) and sensor module (4); The display module (2) is used to display the liquid level, temperature and abnormal information in real time; The bottom screw (3) is used to connect and fix the sensor module to the liquid level gauge body; The sensor module (4) is used to monitor the liquid level and temperature in real time; The alarm module (5) is used for alarms of abnormal liquid level or temperature.

[0022] It should be noted that the intelligent liquid level display device mainly consists of a liquid level gauge body, a bottom screw, a sensor module, a display module, and an alarm module. The liquid level gauge body is used to fix and support the entire device. The bottom screw is used to install on old equipment to replace the original screw. The sensor module is integrated into the bottom screw and is used to measure the liquid level height and temperature. The display module is installed on the liquid level gauge body and is used to display the liquid level height and temperature data. The alarm module is used to issue an alarm when the liquid level is lower than the set value.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a diagram of a display module of a sensor-based intelligent liquid level display device according to some embodiments of this application. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display module (2) is used to display liquid level height, temperature, and abnormal information in real time, including: First display screen (21), second display screen (22) and third display screen (23); The first, second, and third display screens are arranged horizontally and are used to display liquid level, temperature, and abnormal information in real time, respectively.

[0024] It should be noted that the split-screen setting allows for the simultaneous or separate display of liquid level, temperature, and abnormal information.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor module (4) is used to monitor the liquid level and temperature of the liquid in real time, including: Liquid level sensor and temperature sensor; The liquid level sensor and temperature sensor are laterally distributed inside the bottom screw, and are used to monitor the liquid level and temperature in real time.

[0026] It should be noted that the level sensor and temperature sensor are installed side by side inside the bottom screw, and the bottom of the sensor is flush with the bottom of the mounting cavity of the bottom screw.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a diagram of an alarm module device for a sensor-based intelligent liquid level display device according to some embodiments of this application. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the alarm module (5) is used for alarming abnormal liquid level or temperature, and includes: Indicator light (51), buzzer (52), and mounting base (53); The indicator light is installed directly above the mounting base, and the buzzer is installed on the front of the mounting base for audible and visual alarm.

[0028] It should be noted that alarm information is accurately transmitted through audible and visual alarms.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a sensor-based intelligent liquid level display method according to some embodiments of this application. The present invention also discloses a sensor-based intelligent liquid level display method for use in terminal devices, such as computers and mobile phones. This sensor-based intelligent liquid level display method includes the following steps: S21. Obtain the liquid level and real-time temperature through the sensor module; S22. Obtain the preset liquid level warning threshold and the preset temperature warning threshold; S23. The liquid level and real-time temperature are compared with the corresponding preset liquid level warning threshold and preset temperature warning threshold, respectively, and monitoring processing is carried out based on the threshold comparison results.

[0030] It should be noted that, in order to achieve real-time monitoring and alarm of liquid level and temperature, sensors are used for real-time monitoring and comparison with corresponding preset thresholds. Based on the comparison results, an alarm is triggered or real-time monitoring continues.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of comparing the liquid level height and real-time temperature with corresponding preset liquid level height warning thresholds and preset temperature warning thresholds, and performing monitoring processing based on the threshold comparison results, includes: The liquid level height and real-time temperature are compared with the corresponding preset liquid level height warning threshold and preset temperature warning threshold, respectively. If the liquid level is less than or equal to the preset liquid level warning threshold or the real-time temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature warning threshold, an alarm will be output through the alarm module and displayed through the display module. Conversely, real-time monitoring is performed through the sensor module.

[0032] It should be noted that an early warning will be issued when either the liquid level or the temperature exceeds the threshold, or when both exceed the threshold; continuous monitoring will only be performed when neither exceeds the threshold.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: If it fails to obtain the preset liquid level height warning threshold, the liquid level height will be compared with the installation height of the bottom screw. If the liquid level is less than or equal to the installation height of the bottom screw, an alarm will be output through the alarm module and displayed through the display module. If the liquid level is greater than the installation height of the bottom screw, real-time monitoring is performed via the sensor module.

[0034] It should be noted that if the user does not set a corresponding threshold to prevent the liquid level from dropping but there is no threshold to compare it with, resulting in a leakage alarm, the real-time monitored liquid level height will be compared with the installation height of the bottom screw, thus achieving a comparison without a threshold and providing timely warnings.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: Obtain the rate of change of liquid level and the rate of change of temperature within a preset time period; The liquid level change rate and temperature change rate are compared with the corresponding preset liquid level change warning threshold and preset temperature change warning threshold. If the rate of change of liquid level height is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level height change warning threshold or the rate of change of temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature change warning threshold, an alarm will be output through the alarm module and displayed through the display module. Conversely, real-time monitoring is performed through the sensor module.

[0036] It should be noted that, in order to achieve early warning of abnormal liquid level or temperature, the rate of change of liquid level and temperature is evaluated based on real-time monitoring. The rate of change of liquid level is the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between two adjacent time points to the liquid level at the previous time point, and the rate of change of temperature is the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between two adjacent time points to the temperature at the previous time point. Then, it is compared with the corresponding thresholds, and an alarm is triggered if either exceeds the threshold.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the converse step involves performing real-time monitoring via a sensor module, and further includes: The weighted summation of the liquid level change rate and the temperature change rate yields the monitored change parameters. The monitored change parameters are compared with the preset monitoring change early warning threshold. If the monitored change parameter is less than or equal to the preset monitoring change early warning threshold, then real-time monitoring is performed; If the monitored change parameter is greater than the preset monitoring change early warning threshold, an alarm will be output through the alarm module and displayed through the display module.

[0038] It should be noted that the weight of liquid level changes and temperature changes varies in different application scenarios. In order to more accurately assess the comprehensive early warning of liquid level changes and temperature changes, the obtained liquid level change rate and temperature change rate are weighted and summed according to the application scenario. Through threshold comparison, a comprehensive early warning of liquid level and temperature changes is achieved.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: Obtain the cumulative alarm duration output by the alarm module and compare it with the preset cumulative alarm record threshold. If the cumulative alarm duration is greater than or equal to the preset cumulative alarm recording threshold, the alarm data will be stored. If the cumulative alarm duration is less than the preset cumulative alarm record threshold, then continuous monitoring will be performed.

[0040] It should be noted that when the equipment remains in a low-level alarm state for an extended period and is not maintained or repaired in a timely manner, resulting in equipment damage, in order to prevent shirking responsibility and to define liability, real-time liquid level height and alarm data can be stored for retrieval and traceability.

At the same time, it can detect changes in liquid level and temperature to provide early warning, thereby realizing sensor-based intelligent liquid level display.
