Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a liquid level detection device, in particular to an oil pool liquid level detection device. Background Art

[0002] At present, when cold heading machines process cold heading products, they need to be de-oiled by de-oiling devices after the cold heading products are processed. After the oil is separated from the cold heading products, it enters the oil pool for temporary storage, and the oil in the oil pool is regularly extracted by an oil pump to avoid the oil overflow in the oil pool. However, the defect of this extraction method is that due to the large temperature difference in the working environment of the cold heading machine at different times of the year, the oil in the oil pool will also change in volume due to the temperature; and this leads to this timed extraction method, which is easy to cause the oil in the oil pool to continue to accumulate after expansion, thereby causing overflow problems and affecting the working stability of the equipment.

[0003] On the other hand, since the cold heading machine de-oiling pool is a flat trough structure, the height of the oil pool is generally around 50 to 80 mm, which makes it difficult to use conventional liquid level sensors to detect the liquid level of the oil pool, making it impossible for manufacturers to extract according to the liquid level height in the oil pool.

[0004] Therefore, the existing method for extracting oil from the oil remover of the cold heading machine has the problem of poor extraction stability. Utility Model Content

[0007] In the aforementioned oil pool level detection device, a counterweight block is provided at the end of the swing rod away from the float.

[0008] In the aforementioned oil pool level detection device, a horizontal axis is rotatably connected to the detection frame, the horizontal axis and the detection frame are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the swing rod is fixedly connected to the horizontal axis.

[0010] In the aforementioned oil pool level detection device, a transverse axis is fixedly connected to the detection frame, the transverse axis and the detection frame are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the swing arm is rotatably connected to the transverse axis.

[0011] In the aforementioned oil pool level detection device, a sleeve is provided in the middle of the swing rod, and the transverse axis and the sleeve are nested and rotatably connected with each other.

[0012] In the aforementioned oil pool level detection device, the limit switch is arranged on the detection frame at an angle, one side of the limit switch is connected to the detection frame by a screw, and the other side of the limit switch forms a supporting surface. The outer side of the supporting surface is provided with a supporting part detachably connected to the detection frame, and the supporting part lifts and clamps the limit switch via the supporting surface below the limit switch.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following characteristics:

[0014] (1) The utility model uses the structural coordination of the limit switch, the swing rod and the float ball so that the float ball can rise and fall with the liquid level in the oil pool after installation, and drive the trigger part on the swing rod to rotate and rise on the detection frame during the rising and falling process; when the liquid level in the oil pool reaches the height threshold, the trigger part can rotate to the high position and trigger the limit switch to achieve liquid level detection and alarm effect; when the oil in the oil pool is sucked, the trigger part drops and disengages from the limit switch, and the alarm effect is released; and with the above coordination, the utility model can realize real-time detection of the liquid level in the oil pool, and stably trigger the oil pump to extract after the liquid level reaches the height threshold;

[0015] (2) On the basis of the above, the present invention also makes specific restrictions on the connection structure of the swing rod and the limit switch, so that the manufacturer can change the oil pool liquid level when the limit switch is triggered by adjusting the installation position of the swing rod and the limit switch, that is, improve the detection effect of the present invention;

[0016] Therefore, the utility model can detect the liquid level in the oil pool and trigger the oil pump to extract after the liquid level in the oil pool reaches a specified height. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
