Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a deaerator water level detection device, including a deaerator body 1, a water inlet 11 provided at the upper end of the deaerator body 1, and a water outlet 12 provided at the lower end of the deaerator body 1, further including:
[0032] A water level detection unit 2, provided on one side of the deaerator body 1, for detecting the water level inside the deaerator body 1;
[0033] A first water pump 114, provided on one side of the deaerator body 1 and connected to the water inlet 11, for supplying water to the inside of the deaerator body 1;
[0034] A second water pump 121, provided on one side of the deaerator body 1 and connected to the water outlet 12, for discharging the excess water inside the deaerator body 1;
[0035] The water level detection unit 2 includes:
[0036] A high water level prompting device, provided at the upper inner side of the water level detection unit 2 and electrically connected to the second water pump 121 through a plc control system;
[0037] A low water level prompting device, provided at the lower inner side of the water level detection unit 2 and electrically connected to the first water pump 114 through a plc control system.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, the first water pump 114 is connected to the water inlet 11 through a water supply pipe 115. At the position where the inside of the deaerator body 1 is connected to the water inlet 11, a water inlet pipe 111 is provided. A water distribution pipe 112 is fixed at the lower end of the water inlet pipe 111, and water outlet holes are formed in the water distribution pipe 112. The water distribution pipe 112 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the deaerator body 1 through a fixing bracket 113. The second water pump 121 is connected to the water outlet 12 through a drain pipe 122.
[0039] It should be noted that during operation, the water level detection unit 2 is communicated with the deaerator body 1. The water level inside the deaerator body 1 can be detected by observing the water level inside the water level detection unit 2. When the water level inside the deaerator body 1 is too high, the high water level warning device is turned on. Then, through the PLC control system, the second water pump 121 is turned on, and then the water source inside the deaerator body 1 is discharged through the drain pipe 122 to reduce the water level inside the deaerator body 1. When the water level is at the normal value, the high water level warning device is turned off, and the PLC control system turns off the second water pump 121. When the water level inside the deaerator body 1 is too low, the low water level warning device is turned on. Then, through the PLC control system, the first water pump 114 is turned on, and then water is added to the inside of the deaerator body 1 through the water supply pipe 115 to increase the water level inside the deaerator body 1. When the water level is at the normal value, the low water level warning device is turned off, and the PLC control system turns off the first water pump 114. The water level inside the deaerator body 1 can be adjusted flexibly, so that the water level inside the deaerator body 1 tends to the normal value, avoiding the adverse effects caused by too high or too low water level on the operation of the deaerator body 1, improving the operation efficiency and safety of the deaerator body 1, and being convenient for observation and maintenance at the same time, having strong practicability and popularization value.

[0041] With such a design, the detection pipe 21 is communicated with the deaerator body 1 through the connecting pipeline 3, so that the water level inside the detection pipe 21 is parallel to the water level inside the deaerator body 1. The water level inside the deaerator body 1 can be known by observing the water level inside the detection pipe 21, which is convenient for observation.

[0049] With this design, the limiting block 262 on the floating ball 26 is inserted into the inside of the limiting frame 210 through the perforation 2101, and the limiting block 262 is restricted inside the limiting frame 210, so that the moving position of the floating ball 26 can be restricted, enabling the floating ball 26 to move up and down horizontally inside the detection tube 21, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the floating ball 26 and making the water level detection more sensitive and accurate.
[0050] In one embodiment, an alarm 28 is provided at the upper end of the top cover 22, and the alarm 28 is electrically connected to the upper terminal 221 and the lower terminal 231.
