Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radar level meters, in particular to an external purge device for a microwave radar level meter. Background Art
[0002] Radar level meters are widely praised by users for their high accuracy and low failure rate as a material level measurement for solid silos. However, when measuring highly water-absorbent media such as cement and limestone, there will be a problem of high maintenance and measurement impact. In previous operating cases, huge honeycomb limestone balls often solidified under the horn antenna of the radar level meter, seriously affecting the measurement of the radar level meter.
[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN205926485U discloses an automatic purge device for a radar level meter, which uses a stainless steel cleaning tube to perform regular or long-term purges on the antenna to clean or isolate crystals of the measured medium attached to the bell mouth and the antenna.
[0004] However, the device only uses a stainless steel cleaning pipe to blow air on the antenna, which not only has a limited blowing range, but also requires reprocessing of the level meter flange and silo flange when installing the stainless steel cleaning pipe. The operation is cumbersome and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is low. To this end, we provide a microwave radar level meter external blowing device to solve the above problems.
