[0002] Reed switch level gauges are widely used in industries such as oil refining, chemical industry, papermaking, food and sewage treatment to display, alarm and control the liquid level of open / closed containers and underground tanks. To use a reed switch level gauge, the level gauge must first be fixed to the machine equipment to be detected. There are two ways to fix the level gauge in the prior art. One is to set a bolt hole at the upper end of the level gauge and tighten it to the machine. The other side needs to be installed on the machine through a customized groove. Both of these fixing methods will cause inconvenience in terms of installation angle. First, the position of the level gauge cannot be moved after it is fixed. Or adjustment, and the use of reed switches has requirements on the measurement sensitivity. Therefore, once the position of the reed switch needs to be moved due to sensitivity adjustment, these two fixing methods need to be disassembled and reinstalled, resulting in low installation efficiency. More importantly, from a production perspective, the sensitivity of mass-produced reed switches is difficult to control to be absolutely consistent. Therefore, it is very common to adjust the position of the reed switch during its use. Bolt fixing cannot meet one requirement at all.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

The self-expanding screw 300 can open the first groove 430 under the action of external force, so that the first expansion part 410 and the second expansion part 420 are separated from each other. The surface of the cavity 100 where the reed switch liquid level gauge is placed is provided with an expansion part 400, which is used to connect with the groove of the external profile. Inclined surfaces are provided on both sides of the expansion part 400, so that the reed switch liquid level gauge can move freely in the groove of the required connection profile. The self-expanding screw 300 can expand the groove at the expansion part 400 under the twisting and pressing of external force. When the position of the reed switch liquid level gauge is determined, the self-expanding screw 300 is twisted and pressed to clamp the expansion part 400 with the groove of the external profile, so as to achieve the effect of accurately and quickly fixing the reed switch liquid level gauge.

[0023] Furthermore, the cavity 100 is used to accommodate the reed switch 200. A PCB board 500 is provided inside the cavity 100. The pin 210 of the reed switch 200 is connected to the wire 700 through the PCB board 500. Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a wire hole 110 is provided at one end of the cavity 100, and the wire 700 can pass through the wire hole 110 to connect with the PCB board 500, and an open end 120 is provided on the cavity 100, and the open end 120 is used for installation and removal of the reed switch 200, the PCB board 500 and the wire 700. Furthermore, the cavity 100 is filled with cured epoxy resin, and the epoxy resin completely seals and covers the PCB board. Of course, the utility model does not limit the type of epoxy resin. Further, the utility model does not limit the specific connection method between the pin 210 and the wire 700. Preferably, the two pins 210 of the reed switch 200 are Z-bent and flattened and are welded to the PCB. The two pins 210 are welded to the wire 700 through the circuit on the PCB. Further, referring to Figure 4 The first expansion joint 410 has a first inclined surface 411, a first side surface 412 and a first end surface 413. The first inclined surface 411 and the first side surface 412 are connected by a first platform 414. The first inclined surface 411, the first platform 414 and the first side surface 412 are all connected to the first end surface 413. Figure 3 The second expansion joint 420 has a second inclined surface 421, a second side surface 422 and a second end surface 423. The second inclined surface 421 and the second side surface 422 are connected by a second platform 424. The second inclined surface 421, the second platform 424 and the second side surface 422 are all connected to the second end surface 423. The first inclined surface 411 and the second inclined surface 421 are located on both sides of the entire expansion joint 400. When the reed switch liquid level gauge needs to be installed in the groove of the external profile, the first inclined surface 411 and the second inclined surface 421 make the end size of the entire expansion joint 400 smaller than the overall size of the entire reed switch liquid level gauge. Therefore, there is a certain gap between the reed switch liquid level gauge and the external profile when the reed switch liquid level gauge is installed, so that the reed switch liquid level gauge can move freely in the groove of the external profile. A first groove 430 is provided between the first expansion joint 410 and the second expansion joint 420. Figure 3 The connecting hole assembly 600 includes a through hole 610, a connecting groove 620 and a blind hole 630. The through hole 610 is connected to the blind hole 630 through the connecting groove 620. The through hole 610 passes through one end of the cavity 100. The self-expanding screw 300 is inserted into the through hole 610. Further, the first groove 430 is connected to the through hole 610. When the self-expanding screw 300 is pressed down, the first expansion part 410 and the second expansion part 420 will be expanded. The connecting groove 620 and the blind hole 630 are mainly used to provide sufficient expansion space for the through hole 610 to prevent the outer periphery of the through hole 610 from cracking due to the downward pressure when the self-expanding screw 300 is pressed down. Further, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 A fixing groove 640 is provided at one end of the connecting hole component 600, and the fixing groove 640 is located at the outer edge of the through hole. A nut piece 650 is provided in the fixing groove 640. After the self-expanding screw 300 is inserted into the through hole, it is connected with the nut piece 650. The fixing groove 640 is used to place the nut piece 650, and the nut piece 650 is used to be fixed with the self-expanding screw 300. When the self-expanding screw 300 is tightened downward under the action of external force, the self-expanding screw 300 can be tightened and fixed with the nut piece 650 so that the self-expanding screw 300 can be firmly fixed on the groove. Of course, the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the self-expanding screw 300. Preferably, one end of the self-expanding screw 300 has a cross countersunk head for connecting with the installation tool.

[0024] Further, a support portion 130 is provided at one end of the cavity 100 away from the expansion joint 400, and the support portion 130 includes a first boss 131 and a second boss 132, the first boss 131 and the second boss 132 are connected, and an elastic support member 133 is provided on the second boss 132, and the elastic support member 133 protrudes from the end surface of the cavity 100, and the first boss 131 is mainly used to reserve an avoidance space so that the elastic support member 133 can be completely squeezed and fixed in the groove of the external profile under the action of an external force. The support portion 130 is mainly used to assist in fixing the liquid level gauge. When the self-expanding screw 300 is clamped with the groove of the external profile under the action of external force, the elastic support member 133 is fixed in the groove of the external profile under the extrusion of the external force. Since the elastic support member 133 has elastic force, the tail of the reed switch liquid level gauge can be better fixed in the groove of the external profile. Of course, the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the elastic support member 133. Preferably, the elastic support member 133 protrudes from the end face of the cavity 100.

[0025] Furthermore, the self-expanding screw 300 and the expansion part 400 are used to fix the entire reed switch liquid level gauge in the groove of the external profile. The specific position where the reed switch liquid level gauge is fixed and how to find the correct position need to be determined by a combination of several factors such as the sensitivity of the reed switch 200, the strength of the magnet, and the position at which the equipment needs to trigger the signal. This needs to be determined by technical personnel in this field based on actual installation requirements and is not limited in the present utility model.
