Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radar level gauge installation, and more specifically to a height adjustment mechanism of a radar level gauge. Background Art

[0002] A radar level meter is a device that measures distance by reflecting radar waves. It is installed above the liquid surface and perpendicular to the liquid surface. It can measure the height of the liquid level. If it is installed on the tank body, its installation position needs to maintain a certain distance from the side wall of the tank.

[0003] When the radar level gauge is installed at the upper end of the tank body, the commonly used installation method is to fix the flange on the upper end of the installation pipe of the solution tank, which cannot be lifted or lowered or adjusted in height. Therefore, during use, replacement, inspection or maintenance of the radar level gauge requires climbing to the upper end of the tank body for operation, which is not only troublesome to operate, but also has certain safety risks during the climbing process. An existing patent for a radar level gauge height adjustment mechanism, the patent authorization number is CN 219639975 U, in which a guide rod is used to lift and guide the main body of the radar level gauge, so that the main body of the radar level gauge can slide on the guide rod by rotating the threaded rod. When the main body of the radar level gauge is replaced or inspected, there is no need to climb to the top of the solution tank, making the operation safer and more convenient.

[0004] However, in the patent authorization number CN 219639975 U, the entire device is first connected to an external power supply, and then the output end of the servo motor is rotated to rotate the threaded rod, so that the sliding block slides up and down in the lifting groove, and finally the connection block is used to drive the lifting plate and the radar level meter body to move up and down on the outside of the guide rod. Since the servo motor is installed at the top of the guide rod and the device is used outdoors, the servo motor is affected by various factors and is prone to failure, resulting in the radar level meter being unable to achieve normal lifting and lowering. At the same time, the servo motor is in a high position, which is not conducive to maintenance. Therefore, we propose a height adjustment mechanism for the radar level meter to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
