Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water tanks, in particular to a water tank with liquid level control. Background Art

[0002] Similar methods of water ring pump water tank level control on the market now include:

[0003] 1. Use a duckbill liquid level switch to control the liquid level. When the liquid level is lower than the switch installation position, the liquid level signal is disconnected under the action of gravity, and water is added; when the liquid level is higher than the switch installation position, the liquid level signal is connected under the action of buoyancy, and water addition is stopped. Disadvantages: During operation, scale, particulate impurities, rust and other substances will appear in the water, which will cause great resistance to the rotating part of the duckbill liquid level switch and make it impossible to connect and disconnect. As a result, no matter where the water level is, the switch only presents one state (connected or disconnected), and the water level cannot be effectively controlled. At the same time, because the duckbill liquid level switch is threadedly installed on the water tank, it is necessary to stop the machine to replace the liquid level switch, and the function of maintenance without stopping the machine cannot be realized. This solution requires the equipment manufacturer to replace it on site, which increases the maintenance cost.

[0004] Second, use capacitive control of the liquid level. When the liquid level is lower than the switch installation position, the induction probe cannot sense water, the liquid level signal is disconnected, and water is added; when the liquid level is higher than the switch installation position, the induction probe senses water and stops adding water; Disadvantages: Impurities appear in the water quality, the sensor detection will be affected, and the sensitivity of the sensor needs to be readjusted; if the water quality problem is further aggravated, adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor cannot achieve normal detection function. This solution requires regular personnel to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot achieve efficient and stable liquid level control. At the same time, both of the above solutions only install one liquid level switch. When the water tank temperature is too high, the control system will continue to take in water. When the water level exceeds the overflow port, the water will be discharged from the overflow port; if the overflow port is blocked or the drainage is not smooth, the water level will continue to rise, causing water to flow out of the exhaust port, and there may be water accumulation in the machine room.

[0005] Therefore, existing water tank needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a water tank with a simple structure, which can effectively prevent excessive water inflow and the influence of water quality problems on sensors and is easy to maintain.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following scheme: a water tank with liquid level control, comprising a box body, a water inlet is provided on the box body, a water inlet pipe is provided on the water inlet, a water inlet solenoid valve is provided on the water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe is also provided on the box body, a water outlet solenoid valve is provided on the water outlet pipe, and an overflow port is provided on the upper part of the box body, characterized in that: a sensor bracket is provided at the upper end of the box body, at least one group of upper limit liquid level sensor and lower limit liquid level sensor are arranged on the sensor bracket from top to bottom, a guide seat is provided on the box body on one side of the sensor bracket, a sliding rod is provided in the guide seat, a floating ball is provided at the lower end of the sliding rod, the floating ball is arranged in the box body, and an induction probe matching the upper limit liquid level sensor and the lower limit liquid level sensor is provided on the sliding rod above the guide seat.

[0008] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, a liquid level gauge is provided on the outer wall of the box body, the lower end of the liquid level gauge is connected to the middle of the box body, and the upper end of the liquid level gauge is connected to the box body above the overflow port.

[0009] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, the sensing probe is fixedly connected to the sliding rod by screws.

[0010] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, a sewage pipe is provided at the bottom of the tank body, and a first manual control switch is provided on the sewage pipe.

[0011] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, a plurality of adjustment holes are evenly arranged from top to bottom on the sensor bracket, and the upper limit liquid level sensor is arranged in one of the adjustment holes.

[0012] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, a second manual control switch is provided on one side of the water inlet end of the water inlet solenoid valve.

[0013] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, a rotating seat is provided at the bottom of the box body, a rotating shaft is arranged in the rotating seat through a bearing, an impeller is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft at a position corresponding to the water inlet, and a scraper that can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft is provided at the lower part of the rotating shaft, and the angle between the water inlet and the impeller is an acute angle.

[0014] As another improvement of the water tank with liquid level control of the utility model, the number of groups of the upper limit liquid level sensor and the lower limit liquid level sensor is one group, two groups, three groups or four groups.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0016] 1. Sensors, probes and other components are all outside the water tank. There is no need to shut down and open the water tank for maintenance, which reduces the intensity of after-sales work while ensuring uninterrupted operation of the equipment. At the same time, these external components are not affected by changes in water quality, thereby improving the stability of the system.

[0017] 2. During debugging, adjust the installation position of the induction contact and the position of the upper and lower limit sensors according to the water level observation port on the side of the water tank. The operation is simple.

[0018] 3. The upper and lower limit sensor design reduces the risk of water level loss of control when a single liquid level sensor fails, preventing problems caused by excessive water inflow.

[0019] 4. The design of the slide rod float and guide seat structure reduces the risk of mechanical failure of the duckbill sensor caused by rust and other substances in the water, and also avoids the problem of the accuracy of the capacitive sensor being affected by stolen goods, thereby improving the stability of the liquid level control system.
