[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 As shown, a vacuum pumping system with automatic start and stop function includes a water ring vacuum pump 1, a vacuum tank 2 and a water storage tank 3. The water ring vacuum pump 1 is provided with a cooling water inlet, a discharge port and an air suction port. The vacuum tank 2 is connected with an air suction pipe 2a, and the air suction port of the water ring vacuum pump 1 is connected to the air suction pipe 2a; a circulating water inlet pipe 3a is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 3, and the circulating water inlet pipe 3a is connected to the cooling water inlet of the water ring vacuum pump 1. The discharge port of the water ring vacuum pump 1 is connected to the top of the water storage tank 3 through a circulating water return pipe 3b. A vacuum electric contact pressure gauge 4 is arranged on the vacuum tank 2, and the vacuum electric contact pressure gauge 4 is connected to the AC contactor 11. The AC contactor 11 is electrically connected to the water ring vacuum pump 1, and is used to control the start and stop of the water ring vacuum pump 1, thereby realizing the automatic start and stop function of the entire vacuum pumping system. Specifically, the vacuum electric contact pressure gauge 4 is a HC-Z810 digital vacuum electric contact pressure gauge, which monitors the pressure inside the vacuum tank 2. When the pressure reaches the set value, the vacuum electric contact pressure gauge 4 sends a command to the AC contactor 11 to shut down the water ring vacuum pump 1. When the pressure is lower than the set value, the vacuum electric contact pressure gauge 4 sends a command to the AC contactor 11 to start the water ring vacuum pump 1, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic control.

[0027] A water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the upper part of the water storage tank 3, and the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 5 is connected to a water source.

[0028] A drain pipe 6 is connected to the water tank 3, and the water inlet end of the drain pipe 6 extends into the water tank 3 near the bottom wall. A water pump 8 is provided on the drain pipe 6.

In addition, a thermostat 9 is provided on the water tank 3, and the thermostat 9 is provided with a temperature sensor 9a for monitoring the temperature of the water inside the water tank 3; the thermostat 9 is electrically connected to the water pump 8. When the temperature sensor 9a detects that the water temperature is higher than the set value, the thermostat 9 starts the water pump 8 to discharge the high-temperature water in the water tank 3. This ensures that the water temperature in the water tank 3 is within the set range.

[0029] Combination Figure 1As shown, the water tank 3 used in this embodiment is a rectangular water tank, the temperature controller 9 is arranged on the top of the water tank 3, and the temperature sensor 9a extends downward into the water body inside the water tank 3.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the internal height of the water tank 3 is H, and the distance between the float valve 8 and the bottom wall of the water tank 3 is h, and the two satisfy: The height of the float valve 8 is set to maintain the normal water level.
