Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of split capacitance liquid level gauges, in particular to a split capacitance liquid level gauge connection structure. Background Art
[0002] The split capacitance level meter is a measuring instrument that uses the change of capacitance to measure the level of the medium in the container. In the container, the container wall made of electrodes and conductive materials constitutes a capacitor. For a given electrode, when the dielectric constant of the measured medium remains unchanged, a fixed frequency measurement voltage is applied to the electrode. The current flowing through the capacitor depends on the height of the medium between the capacitor electrodes and is proportional to it. The split capacitance level meter generally has two electrodes inside, one is called the probe electrode and the other is called the reference electrode. These two electrodes can be installed inside or outside the container, depending on the actual application. When the distance between the two electrodes changes, the capacitance between them will also change. The capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the two electrodes, that is, the closer the distance, the greater the capacitance, and the farther the distance, the smaller the capacitance. When the capacitance level meter is used to measure the liquid level, the presence of the liquid will change the distance between the two electrodes. When the liquid level rises, the liquid will be closer to the electrode, the capacitance increases, and when the liquid level drops, the capacitance decreases, and the system will pass The capacitance measurement circuit is used to monitor the capacitance change between the electrodes. This can be achieved by applying an electrical signal of a certain frequency to the probe electrode and then measuring the signal on the reference electrode. The capacitance change caused by the liquid level change will be converted into an electrical signal that can be understood by the measurement system. The measurement system will convert the measured capacitance value into a liquid level value, which can be displayed and used through a display screen, a control system or other means. The existing split capacitance level meter is usually installed and connected through external threads and flanges. The probe is connected to the display through an external thread and a flange on the outer surface to connect with the container. When the traditional split capacitance level meter connection structure is connected through an external thread, the connection performance is low and the connection is easily loosened due to equipment vibration. It is not suitable for liquid level measurement of special equipment. When connected through a flange, the connection strength is sufficient, but a large number of bolts are required for installation and disassembly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is not convenient for subsequent maintenance and replacement of the probe. For this reason, we propose a split capacitance level meter connection structure. Utility Model Content

[0015] 1. Rotate the limit ring forward, the limit ring moves downward, the external thread ring is pressed downward, and the rack plate moves downward synchronously. Once the spring is compressed, the fixed claw will deflect outward as the rack plate moves downward until the fixed claw deflects outward ninety degrees.

Then start reinforcement. The initial state of the reinforcement ring is at the upper end of the guide groove. Rotate the reinforcement ring to make the limit protrusion leave At the step at the upper end of the guide groove, the reinforcement ring is not restricted, and the second spring is not expanded without force, driving the extrusion ring to move downward, continuously pressing the reinforcement ring, so that the lower end of the reinforcement ring is close to the surface of the friction plate, and then the connecting ring sleeve is rotated forward, and the connecting ring sleeve moves downward. As the connecting ring sleeve moves downward, the connecting ring sleeve connects the limit ring and the reinforcement ring, making the limit ring and the reinforcement ring more tightly connected. At this time, the fixing effect is best, and then the external display is plugged into the upper socket to complete the installation and connection work, which improves the stability of the connection of the split capacitor level gauge and effectively prevents loose connection due to equipment vibration.

At this time, the rack plate is not subject to force, and the first spring rebounds without force, driving the rack plate to move up, and the fixed claw also deflects downward by ninety degrees. At this time, the fixed claw is not restricted by the top wall of the equipment. Pull up the mounting column to bring out the probe, and then you can inspect and replace the probe.

[0028] The working principle of a split capacitance level gauge connection structure provided by the utility model is as follows: when installing and connecting the split capacitance level gauge, first insert the probe into the lower socket 3, then insert the mounting column 1 into the mounting hole reserved for the equipment, rotate the limit ring 66 forward, the limit ring 66 moves downward, presses the external thread ring 63 to move downward, and the rack plate 61 moves downward synchronously, and the spring 1 65 is compressed. Because the rack plate 61 is meshed and connected with the fixed claw 62, as the rack plate 61 moves downward, the fixed claw 62 will deflect outward until the fixed claw 62 deflects outward by ninety degrees. At this time, the fixed claw 62 is parallel to the top wall of the equipment, and then the mounting column 1 is moved upward to make the fixed claw 62 fit with the top wall of the equipment, and then the outer ring is rotated to stabilize 68, so that the lower end of the stabilizing outer ring 68 is in contact with the surface of the equipment.

The initial state of the reinforcement ring 72 is located at the upper end of the guide groove 71.

The reinforcement ring 72 is not restricted, and the spring 2 75 is not forced to expand, driving the extrusion ring 74 to move downward, continuously pressing the reinforcement ring 72, so that the lower end of the reinforcement ring 72 is in close contact with the surface of the friction plate 67, and then the connecting ring sleeve 73 is rotated forward, and the connecting ring sleeve 73 moves downward.

The ring 72, spring two 75 and extrusion ring 74 continuously press the reinforcement ring 72 to keep the reinforcement ring 72 stationary, and then reverse the limit ring 66, and the limit ring 66 moves up. At this time, the rack plate 61 is not subjected to force, and the spring one 65 rebounds without force, driving the rack plate 61 to move up, and the fixing claw 62 also deflects downward by ninety degrees. At this time, the fixing claw 62 is not restricted by the top wall of the equipment, and the mounting column 1 is pulled up to bring out the probe, and then the probe can be inspected and replaced. A fixing and reinforcement mechanism is provided, which does not affect the installation and can also synchronously fix the upper and lower ends of the wall body, thereby improving the stability of the connection, effectively preventing the connection from loosening due to equipment vibration, and can also be quickly installed and disassembled, which is convenient for subsequent inspection and replacement of the probe.
