Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid level detection, in particular to a novel float. Background Art
[0002] Floats are commonly used to measure liquid levels in liquid containers (such as water tanks). They can float on the surface of the liquid and move as the liquid level changes. Floats play an important role in various control systems, especially in systems that automatically control liquid levels. They can trigger the start or stop of pumps, open or close valves, or activate alarm systems.
[0003] Existing floats are usually designed to be round or oval in shape to reduce water resistance and maintain good buoyancy. These floats are mostly made of plastic, metal or other lightweight materials. However, although they are relatively effective in function, common designs have some disadvantages that cannot be ignored.
[0004] First of all, the contact area between the outer walls of these floats and the inner wall of the water tank is larger. Due to the increase in contact area, when the water level in the tank changes and causes the float to move up and down, the side walls of the float are likely to produce greater friction with the inner wall of the tank. This friction will cause the float to move poorly, especially when the water level is low, the float may be stuck to the inner wall of the tank by residual water.
[0005] In addition, when the water tank is completely dry, there is a problem that the float directly adheres to the inner wall of the water tank. Especially when there is no water flow for a long time, the float may not be able to move freely due to static friction. In this case, even if the liquid level changes, the float cannot float up correctly, thereby failing to accurately reflect the actual water level in the water tank.
[0006] In the above situation, the float cannot float due to the sticking or adhesion of the float, which will interfere with the accurate response of the liquid level control system and may even cause system failure. This not only affects the accuracy of the measurement, but may also cause safety problems due to the erroneous response of the control system.
[0007] The utility model is proposed in view of the deficiencies in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0008] In view of the technical problem that the outer wall of the float in the prior art mentioned above has a large contact area with the inner wall of the water tank, the float is stuck in the water tank by the residual water, or in the absence of water, the float is directly stuck to the inner wall of the water tank, causing the float to be stuck in the water tank and unable to float.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:
[0010] A novel float comprises a base, wherein the base is provided with an assembly part for assembling a magnet, and the top of the base is also provided with a float part, wherein the float part comprises at least one float, and the outer side wall of the float structure formed by the float and the assembly part is concave-convex.
[0011] In the novel float as described above, there are multiple float balls, which are stacked.
[0012] As described above, a novel float, the plurality of floating balls include a top ball segment and a plurality of middle ball segments, and the plurality of middle ball segments are located between the top ball segment and the base.
[0013] In the novel float as described above, a first recessed section is provided between the top spherical segment and the middle spherical segment connected thereto, and a second recessed section is provided between the adjacent middle spherical segments.
[0014] In the novel float as described above, the plurality of float balls are an integrally formed structure.
[0015] In the novel float as described above, the diameters of the plurality of floating balls are similar or equal.
[0016] In the novel float as described above, the outer diameter of the assembly portion is smaller than the ball diameter of each float ball.
[0017] As described above, the novel float, each of the floating balls is a solid structure.
[0018] In the novel float as described above, the float ball portion and the assembly portion are an integrally formed structure.
[0019] In the novel float as described above, the assembly portion includes an assembly groove arranged in the base and an opening arranged at the bottom of the base, and the opening is communicated with the assembly groove.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0021] The utility model discloses a novel float, by adding a float part on the top of a base, the float part includes at least one float, the outer side wall of the float structure formed by the float and the assembly part is concave-convex, the concave-convex design can greatly reduce the contact area between the float and the inner wall of the water tank, thereby reducing the friction between the float and the inner wall of the water tank and the adhesion between the float and the residual water in the water tank, preventing the float from getting stuck in the water tank, and allowing the float to move freely in the water tank even under low water level or waterless conditions, and the concave-convex shape helps to increase the surface area of the float, thereby providing a faster response when the water level changes.
[0022] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] The implementation modes of the present utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a new type of float in this embodiment includes a base 1, on which is provided an assembly portion 11 for assembling a magnet, and on the top of the base 1 is also provided a float portion 2, wherein the float portion 2 includes at least one float, and the outer side wall of the float structure formed by the float and the assembly portion 11 is concave-convex. By adopting such a design, the contact area between the float and the inner wall of the water tank can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the float and the inner wall of the water tank and the adhesion between the float and the residual water in the water tank, preventing the float from getting stuck in the water tank, and allowing the float to move freely in the water tank even under low water level or no water conditions, and the concave-convex shape helps to increase the surface area of the float, thereby providing a faster response when the water level changes.
[0029] Furthermore, by adding a float part 2 to the base 1, the float enhances the buoyancy of the base 1, thereby further enhancing the buoyancy of the float, so that it can float more stably in the liquid, and maintain good performance even when the liquid density changes or impurities are present.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the number of the float balls in this embodiment is multiple, and the multiple float balls are stacked to significantly improve the overall buoyancy of the float, making it easier to float and maintain a state on the liquid surface.
[0031] Specifically, the stacked floats can disperse the center of gravity of the entire float structure, increase the stability of the float, and reduce the risk of capsizing. In addition, multiple floats can provide more contact points and increase the surface area, making the float more sensitive to changes in liquid level, thereby improving the responsiveness of the liquid level control system.
[0032] Furthermore, the stacked floating balls can be adjusted according to different requirements, for example, by changing the number, size or arrangement of the floating balls to adapt to different liquid densities or buoyancy requirements.
[0033] Furthermore, compared with a single large float, multiple floats share the pressure with each other, reducing the load on a single point, and will be more solid and durable.
[0034] Furthermore, the stacked float structure can further reduce the contact area between the float and the inner wall of the water tank, further reducing potential friction and adhesion problems.
[0035] Furthermore, if one of the floats in the float design fails or is damaged, the other floats can still provide a certain amount of buoyancy to ensure that the float continues to work, increasing the redundancy of the system.
[0036] Furthermore, the surface of the spherical float is smooth and the shape is regular, which reduces the chance of dirt and microorganisms attaching. In addition, due to the geometric characteristics of the sphere, even if a small amount of dirt is attached, the flowing water can easily wash it away. This design is less likely to accumulate dirt than floats with angular or complex surfaces, so it is easier to maintain and clean.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the plurality of floating balls in this embodiment include a top spherical segment 21 and a plurality of middle spherical segments 22 , and the plurality of middle spherical segments 22 are located between the top spherical segment 21 and the base 1 .
[0038] Specifically, the top ball segment 21 is located at the top, and a plurality of middle ball segments 22 are stacked thereunder. This configuration helps to create a float with a lower center of gravity, thereby providing better stability and anti-rolling ability.
[0039] The stacked design of the top spherical segment 21 and the middle spherical segment 22 can optimize the mechanical properties through different shapes and sizes, for example, the friction between the float and the fluid can be controlled by adjusting the shape of the spherical segment.
[0040] This layered design is not only functionally effective, but also visually appealing, making the float structure look more aesthetically pleasing.
[0041] Preferably, the volume of the top spherical segment 21 and the volume of each middle spherical segment 22 are smaller than the volume of a complete buoy and larger than the volume of a half buoy, wherein the volume of the top spherical segment 21 is larger than the volume of each middle spherical segment 22 .
[0042] With such a design, the top spherical notch helps to concentrate the buoyancy in the upper half of the float, which can improve the buoyancy center of the float, making it more stable and keeping it upright when the liquid level fluctuates or flows. The top spherical notch 21 has a larger volume, which can ensure that the float is more sensitive to changes in liquid level because the larger top spherical notch 21 increases the buoyancy of the float, thereby responding to the rise and fall of the liquid level more quickly.
[0043] Furthermore, by designing the volume of the top spherical segment 21 and the middle spherical segment 22, the center of gravity of the float can be accurately controlled, so that the float can quickly restore balance even when disturbed by the outside world.
[0044] Furthermore, the larger top spherical segment 21 can provide additional buoyancy for the float when the liquid level is high, while the middle spherical segment 22 ensures that the float still has sufficient buoyancy when the liquid level is low.
[0045] Specifically, the design of the top ball segment and the middle ball segment helps to reduce the resistance of the fluid to the float, improve the fluid dynamics efficiency, and ensure that the float can quickly respond to changes in liquid level. The float structure of this implementation is more compact and smaller in size.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a first recessed section 211 is provided between the top ball segment 21 and the middle ball segment 22 connected thereto, and a second recessed section 221 is provided between adjacent middle ball segments 22. Specifically, the recessed section can increase the overall strength of the structure, and the recessed section helps the fluid to flow on the surface of the float, reducing turbulence and resistance, which can further improve the efficiency and reaction speed of the float in the fluid.
[0047] Preferably, the recessed section creates an additional buoyancy adjustment point in the overall design of the float, allowing the float to more accurately adjust the buoyancy when the liquid level changes. The recessed section provides greater flexibility in the design of the float because the buoyancy and stability of the float can be adjusted to adapt to different conditions by changing the size and shape of the recessed section.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the plurality of floats of this embodiment are an integrally formed structure, that is, the top ball segment 21 and the plurality of middle ball segments 22 are an integrally formed structure, which can ensure the overall strength of the float.
[0049] Specifically, the one-piece molding production process is relatively simple and quick, and can be mass-produced, reducing the number of assembly steps, thereby reducing labor costs and time consumption.
[0050] And one-piece floats generally have better durability and impact resistance than assembled floats because they have no screws, adhesives or other connections that may fatigue or wear out over time.
[0051] Since there are no adhesives or other materials that may break down due to chemical or environmental factors, the one-piece molded float can provide better performance in harsh conditions.
[0052] Specifically, one-piece products generally have a smoother, neater appearance, which is more visually appealing and has no cracks or crevices that are prone to accumulating dirt.
[0053] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the ball diameters of the multiple floats described in this embodiment are similar or equal.
[0054] Specifically, equal or similar ball diameter sizes can ensure consistent behavior and performance of multiple buoyant balls on the water surface.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the assembly part 11 of this embodiment is smaller than the ball diameter of each float. Since the diameter of the assembly part is smaller, the buoyancy is more concentrated on the float, which can improve the sensitivity of the float in responding to changes in the liquid level and quickly rise or fall to reflect the actual changes in the liquid level.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, each of the floats described in this embodiment is a solid structure. Specifically, solid spherical floats are usually stronger than hollow balls because they have no internal space, which makes their structure more able to withstand external pressure and impact, and is more suitable for harsh environments or applications that need to withstand large loads. The material and size of the solid ball directly determine its buoyancy. Unlike a hollow ball, the buoyancy of a solid ball does not depend on the internal air or other gases, but is determined by the density of the material it is made of.
[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the float part 2 and the assembly part 11 of this embodiment are an integrally formed structure, that is, the entire float structure is an integrally formed structure, which means that there are no seams, welding points or connecting parts, thereby enhancing the overall structural integrity and strength.
[0058] One-piece molding can reduce the steps in the manufacturing process because the float and the assembly do not need to be produced separately and then assembled, thereby reducing production costs.
[0059] Because it is molded in one piece, the float and the assembly fit very tightly together, allowing the float to be accurately positioned in the design to provide optimal performance.
[0060] Furthermore, a one-piece float design is generally easier to clean and maintain because it lacks small crevices and hard-to-clean corners.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the assembly portion 11 of this embodiment includes an assembly groove provided in the base 1 and an opening provided at the bottom of the base 1 , wherein the opening is communicated with the assembly groove.
[0062] An assembly part for assembling the magnet is provided at the bottom of the float. Since the float ball is above the assembly part, this means that the entire float structure is designed so that when the water level drops to the point where the float touches the bottom of the water tank, due to the size and design of the float, a certain amount of water will still be retained in the water tank, thus preventing the equipment from drying out.
[0063] In addition, by providing an opening at the bottom of the base 1 that communicates with the assembly groove, the contact area between the float and the bottom of the water tank can be further reduced, thereby preventing the residual water at the bottom of the water tank from adhering to the bottom of the float and preventing the float from directly sticking to the inner wall of the water tank.
[0064] As described above, multiple implementation methods are provided in combination with specific contents, and the specific implementation of this application is not limited to these descriptions. Any similarity or similarity with the method, structure, etc. of this application, or any technical deduction or replacement made on the premise of the concept of this application, shall be deemed to be within the scope of protection of this application.
