[0019] The following will further describe the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the following specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a portable liquid level gauge 400 cleaning and sampling device for a mixing tank includes: a tank body 100, a connecting assembly, a cleaning assembly, a liquid level gauge 400 and a sampling assembly; the connecting assembly includes a first tee 210, a circular tube 220, a first joint 230 and three clamp joints 240, and the three clamp joints 240 are respectively located on the outside of the three connecting ports of the first tee 210; the cleaning assembly is partially located inside the tank body 100, and the other part is connected to the first tee 210 through a clamp joint 240, one end of the circular tube 220 is connected to the first tee 210 through a clamp joint 240, and the other end is connected to the first joint 230, the first joint 230 is connected to the liquid level gauge 400, and the end of the liquid level gauge 400 away from the first joint 230 is connected to the sampling assembly.

[0021] Specifically, the first tee pipe 210 is a reducing tee pipe, and the cleaning assembly includes a connecting pipe 310 and a cleaning ball 320. One end of the connecting pipe 310 is connected to the first tee pipe 210 via a clamp joint 240, and the other end of the connecting pipe 310 is connected to the cleaning ball 320. The liquid level gauge 400 is a visual liquid level gauge 400. Furthermore, a protective clamp 110 is provided on the side wall of the tank body 100, and the protective clamp 110 is used to clamp the liquid level gauge 400.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the sampling assembly includes a butterfly valve 510, a second tee 520, and a sampling valve 530. One end of the butterfly valve 510 is connected to the interior of the tank body 100, and the other end is connected to a connecting port of the second tee 520. The sampling valve 530 is connected to another connecting port of the second tee 520. Another connecting port of the second tee 520 is connected to the liquid level gauge 400 via a second connector 540. The second tee 520 is a tee of equal diameter. A liquid outlet is provided at the bottom of the tank body 100, and a liquid outlet pipe 120 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 100. The liquid outlet pipe 120 is connected to the interior of the tank body 100 through the liquid outlet. Furthermore, one connecting port of the first tee 210 is connected via an external CIP cleaning system, and the liquid outlet pipe 120 is connected to the external CIP cleaning system, thereby forming a CIP cleaning cycle. It is worth mentioning that the main pipe of the first three-way pipe 210 is connected to the CIP cleaning system and the connecting pipe 310 , and then the branch pipe thereof is connected to the circular pipe 220 .

[0023] In the above embodiment, the three clamp joints 240, the first tee pipe 210, the cleaning ball 320, the connecting pipe 310, the round pipe 220, the first joint 230, the butterfly valve 510, the second tee pipe 520, the sampling valve 530 and the second joint 540 are all of sanitary grade standards, and the butterfly valve 510 is a manual butterfly valve 510.

[0024] That is to say, when the entire tank body 100 needs to be cleaned, the staff opens the manual butterfly valve 510, and then the CIP cleaning liquid enters from the first tee pipe 210 at the top of the tank body 100. A portion of the cleaning liquid enters the cleaning ball 320 through the connecting pipe 310, and then performs 360-degree cleaning of the interior of the tank body 100 through the cleaning ball 320. The other portion of the cleaning liquid enters the circular pipe 220 from the branch pipe of the first tee pipe 210, then enters the visual liquid level gauge 400, and finally flows to the manual butterfly valve 510 through the second tee pipe 520 and enters the interior of the tank body 100. In other words, the cleaning liquid entering from the circular pipe 220 will eventually enter the tank body 100, and then flow out from the liquid outlet at the bottom of the tank body 100 to the liquid outlet pipe 120, and finally flow to the external CIP cleaning system through reflux, that is, forming a CIP cleaning cycle. Therefore, by using the coordination among the connection assembly, the cleaning assembly, the liquid level gauge 400 and the sampling assembly, when the interior of the entire tank body 100 is cleaned, the visual liquid level gauge 400 is also cleaned synchronously.

[0025] In summary, the above embodiments are not limitative embodiments of the present invention, and any modifications or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art based on the essential content of the present invention are within the technical scope of the present invention.
