[0002] An external tank level gauge is a device used to measure the liquid level in a water tank, usually installed outside the water tank. It usually consists of a sensor, a display, and a controller. The sensor is responsible for measuring the liquid level in the water tank, and then transmits the data to the controller, which then displays the data on the display. An external tank level gauge can help users monitor the liquid level of the water tank in real time so that they can replenish or drain the liquid in the water tank in time.

[0003] Commonly used external water tank level gauges include damping float level gauges, capacitance level gauges, magnetic flap level gauges, etc. The existing magnetic flap level gauge measures the liquid level height through the cooperation of a float and a magnetic flap. When the liquid level rises, the float will also rise, and the magnetic flap will flip, thereby changing the output signal. However, after the magnetic flap level gauge has been used for a long time, the float will be stuck by impurities, sediments or bubbles in the water tank, causing the magnetic flap to fail to flip normally, and it is extremely inconvenient to clean the liquid level cylinder of the magnetic flap level gauge.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an external water tank level gauge to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The utility model provides Figure 1-4 An external water tank level gauge shown in the figure comprises a liquid level cylinder 1, a filter screen 4 is arranged at the lower part of the liquid level cylinder 1, which can filter out impurities, sediments or bubbles in the water in the liquid level cylinder 1 to prevent these substances from getting stuck in the float and affecting the flipping of the magnetic flap, the top of the liquid level cylinder 1 is covered with a top cover 2, a pulley 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the top cover 2, a water inlet pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the top of the top cover 2 away from the pulley 23, and a cleaning mechanism 3 is arranged on the upper part of the liquid level cylinder 1;

[0026] The cleaning mechanism 3 comprises:

[0027] The brush plate 31 is arranged above the interior of the liquid level cylinder 1. The brush plate 31 is adapted to the inner diameter of the liquid level cylinder 1, and bristles are arranged around the outer wall of the brush plate 31.

[0028] A connecting rod 33 is fixedly installed below the outer wall of one side of the liquid level cylinder 1. A pull rope 32 is wound around the connecting rod 33. One end of the pull rope 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the brush plate 31. One end of the pull rope 32 is located on the pulley 23, so that the brush plate 31 can be conveniently operated by the connecting rope and the pulley 23.

[0029] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a through hole is opened at the top center of the top cover 2, a sealing plug 21 is provided at the position of the through hole of the top cover 2, and the lower end of the sealing plug 21 is threadedly connected to the through hole of the top cover 2.

[0030] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, an upper lead pipe valve 7 is fixedly installed on the upper back side of the liquid level cylinder 1, and a lower lead pipe valve 8 is fixedly installed on the lower back side of the liquid level cylinder 1. The filter screen 4 is installed on a support, and the position of the filter screen 4 is higher than the position of the lower lead pipe valve 8, so as to ensure the normal operation of the lower lead pipe valve 8, and the inflow and outflow of liquid in the liquid level cylinder 1 can be controlled by these two valves.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bottom of the liquid level cylinder 1 is connected to a drain pipe 5 via a flange to facilitate the discharge of sewage inside the liquid level cylinder, and the filter screen 4 is fixedly installed on the flange at the upper end of the drain pipe 5 via a support, thereby effectively supporting and connecting the installation position of the filter screen 4.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a liquid level display panel 6 is provided on the front of the liquid level cylinder 1, and a magnetic float 9 is provided inside the liquid level cylinder 1. The magnetic float 9 is located between the upper and lower parts of the filter screen 4 and the lower part of the brush plate 31, so that the liquid level height can be measured conveniently, and at the same time, the magnetic float 9 can be prevented from being stuck, which affects the measurement accuracy of the liquid level meter.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the liquid level cylinder 1, and spherical protrusions are provided on both sides of the outer walls of the magnetic float 9. The spherical protrusions on both sides of the magnetic float 9 are adapted to the guide grooves on both sides of the inner wall of the liquid level cylinder 1, so that the magnetic float 9 can move smoothly along the guide grooves when moving up and down in the liquid level cylinder 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the liquid level measurement.

[0034] The working process of an external water tank level gauge provided by the utility model when in use is as follows:

[0035] Assemble the liquid level gauge and then install it outside the water tank. When the liquid level gauge is in use, the water inside the water tank enters the lower end of the liquid level cylinder 1 from the upper lead pipe valve 7, and then the water starts to rise through the filter screen 4 below the liquid level cylinder 1, and the filter screen 4 filters the impurities in the water, so that the impurities in the water transported to the liquid level cylinder 1 are blocked above the filter screen 4, thereby preventing excessive impurities from entering the upper part of the liquid level cylinder 1, thereby reducing the adsorption of impurities on the inner wall of the liquid level cylinder 1, and avoiding affecting the rise and fall of the magnetic float 9 in the liquid level cylinder 1. After a period of time, separate the upper end flange of the sewage pipe 5 from the lower end flange of the liquid level cylinder 1, and take out the support with the filter screen 4, replace or clean the filter screen 4, and avoid clogging of the filter screen 4 and affecting the rise and fall of the water level in the liquid level cylinder 1.

[0036] Although the filter 4 can prevent most impurities from being isolated at the bottom of the liquid level cylinder 1, some small impurities will pass through the filter 4 and enter the top of the liquid level cylinder 1. After the liquid level cylinder 1 is used for a long time, these small impurities will adhere to the inner wall of the liquid level cylinder 1, which will affect the rise and fall of the magnetic float 9 inside the liquid level cylinder 1, and even cause the magnetic float 9 to be stuck in the liquid level cylinder 1. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid level cylinder 1 is emptied, and then the sealing plug 21 on the top of the top cover 2 is opened, and the water inlet pipe 22 is connected to the clean water supply. The brush plate 31 above the liquid level cylinder 1 falls freely under the action of its own gravity. When the brush plate 31 falls to the lowest position of the liquid level cylinder 1, the pull rope 32 is pulled to raise the brush plate 31. When the brush plate 31 rises to the highest point, the brush plate 31 is released again to let it fall. The above process is repeated to repeatedly clean the inner wall of the liquid level cylinder 1 and the part above the filter screen 4 through the bristles on the outer wall of the brush plate 31. When the cleaning is completed, the sealing plug 21 is locked again.

[0037] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
