AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, steam flushing is difficult to completely remove stains from the inner wall of the float level gauge, which affects the normal use of the level gauge.
A cleaning mechanism was designed, including a drive shaft, steam blades, a connecting plate, and a cleaning plate. The steam blades are rotated by controlling the steam flow, which in turn drives the drive shaft and the connecting plate to rotate. The bristles on the cleaning plate brush the inner wall of the cylinder, and wastewater is discharged by the drain valve to thoroughly clean the stains.
This process ensures thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the float level gauge, guaranteeing its proper functioning.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of float level gauges, in particular to a float level gauge with antifreeze and heat preservation functions. Background Art
[0002] The float level gauge is a liquid level measuring instrument designed based on Archimedes' law and magnetic coupling principle. The instrument can be used to measure liquid level, boundary level and density, and is responsible for the output of upper and lower limit alarm signals. It is specially used to measure the liquid level in pressure vessels. Liquid will solidify at low temperatures. Once the liquid in the float solidifies, the float level gauge can no longer accurately detect the liquid level in the container. In order to prevent the liquid from solidifying, the float level gauge needs to be antifreeze and heat-insulated.
[0003] In the prior art, most of the float level gauges with antifreeze and heat preservation functions are realized by direct steam. For example, the patent publication number is CN208860445U, which is a direct steam heating float level gauge. The float level gauge directly introduces low-pressure steam from the bottom of the float level gauge, and controls the steam flow rate to achieve the purpose of not affecting the measurement of the level gauge while playing the role of heating and flushing the float level gauge, thereby achieving the dual purposes of heating, antifreeze and anti-crystallization and flushing the float level gauge, and providing a guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0004] The above patent has certain drawbacks. When flushing the inner wall of the liquid level gauge cylinder, it is sometimes difficult to clean the stains on the inner wall of the liquid level gauge cylinder by relying solely on steam flushing, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the inner wall of the cylinder, affecting the normal use of the liquid level gauge. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a float level gauge with antifreeze and heat preservation functions, which can clean the stains on the inner wall of the cylinder, make the inner wall of the cylinder clean more thoroughly, and ensure the normal use of the level gauge.
