DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an automatically cleanable liquid level detection device for a numerical control machine tool, including a magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter 1. The lower end of the magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter 1 is connected with a magnetostrictive probe 2, and a still well 3 is installed at the lower end of the magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter 1. A retaining ring 7 is installed at the outer end of the still well 3, and a filter screen 8 is connected to the lower end of the retaining ring 7. Cavities 9 are symmetrically opened at the left and right ends of the retaining ring 7, and a positioning rod 10 is slidably connected in the cavity 9. The adjacent ends of the positioning rod 10 are connected with a fixing rod 11, and a spring 12 passes through the middle of the positioning rod 10. The magnetostrictive probe 2 extends to the bottom end of the still well 3, and the still well 3 is snap-fitted with the retaining ring 7. The cavity 9 is slidably connected with the positioning rod 10, and the positioning rod 10 penetrates through the cavity 9, and the positioning rod 10 is embedded in the still well 3. The adjacent ends of the spring 12 are fixedly connected with the fixing rod 11, and the opposite ends of the spring 12 are fixedly connected with the cavity 9. A float 4 is arranged inside the still well 3, a vent hole 5 is opened at the upper end of the still well 3, and a lower through hole 6 is opened at the lower end of the still well 3. Through the cooperation among the magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter 1, the magnetostrictive probe 2 and the float 4, the liquid level can be measured. The liquid enters the inside of the still well 3 through the lower through hole 6, and at the same time, the air inside the still well 3 is discharged from the still well 3 through the vent hole 5. Pull out the positioning rod 10 to the left and right ends, the positioning rod 10 drives the fixing rod 11 to move to the left and right ends, and the fixing rod 11 and the inner wall of the cavity 9 squeeze the spring 12. When the positioning rod 10 is pulled out from both ends of the still well 3, the retaining ring 7 and the filter screen 8 at the lower end can be taken out to replace the filter screen 8. After long-term use, the filter screen 8 will be damaged, affecting the filtering function. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly replace the filter screen 8. Align the retaining ring 7 with the still well 3 and release the positioning rod 10. The spring 12 drives the fixing rod 11 and the positioning rod 10 to reset, which can quickly install the retaining ring 7 and the filter screen 8, save working time, improve work efficiency and the convenience of the device, prevent impurities from precipitating inside the still well 3 from affecting the accuracy of liquid level measurement, and improve the service life of the device.

[0029] At the left and right ends of the bottom of the static well 3, there are connecting rods 13 connected. The opposite ends of the connecting rods 13 are connected with an annular support frame 14. Inside the left end of the static well 3, there is a motor 15 installed. The lower end of the motor 15 is connected with a gear 16. The gear 16 is meshed with a gear ring 17. On the upper side of the gear ring 17, there are spherical blocks 18 symmetrically connected at the left and right ends. And at the right end of the lower side of the gear ring 17, there is a brush plate 19 installed. An annular groove 20 is opened inside the static well 3. The spherical block 18 is slidably connected inside the annular groove 20. By connecting the connecting rod 13 at the lower end of the static well 3, the connecting rod 13 is connected with the annular support frame 14, and the annular support frame 14 plays a supporting role for the filter screen 8, preventing the filter screen 8 from fitting with the static well 3 and affecting the filtering effect. Using the motor 15 to drive the gear 16 to rotate, the gear 16 is meshed with the gear ring 17 to drive the gear ring 17 to rotate. The upper end of the gear ring 17 is connected with the spherical block 18, and the spherical block 18 slides inside the annular groove 20. The gear ring 17 plays a supporting role. While the gear ring 17 rotates, it drives the lower brush plate 19 to rotate to clean the filter screen 8, preventing impurities from clogging the filter screen 8, reducing the filtering effect and filtering speed of the filter screen 8, improving the working efficiency of the device, and increasing the service life of the filter screen 8.

[0030] Working principle: When using this automatic cleaning numerical control machine tool liquid level detection device, place the device in the liquid. After the liquid is filtered by the filter screen 8, it enters the static well 3 through the lower through hole 6. The gas inside the static well 3 is discharged through the ventilation hole 5. The cooperation between the magnetostrictive probe 2 and the float 4 is used to measure the liquid height and is displayed by the magnetic liquid level transmitter 1. After the filter screen 8 is used for a long time, it will be damaged. Pull out the positioning rods 10 to the left and right ends. The positioning rods 10 drive the fixing rods 11 to move to the left and right ends, squeezing the spring 12. When the positioning rods 10 are pulled out of the static well 3, the snap ring 7 and the filter screen 8 can be disassembled to replace the filter screen 8. When the snap ring 7 is aligned with the static well 3, release the positioning rods 10, and the spring 12 drives the fixing rods 11 and the positioning rods 10 to reset, fixing the snap ring 7 and the filter screen 8 again. Use the motor 15 to drive the gear 16 to rotate, the gear 16 drives the gear ring 17 to rotate, and the spherical block 18 plays a supporting role for the gear ring 17. When the gear ring 17 rotates, it drives the lower brush plate 19 to rotate, so that the brush plate 19 plays a cleaning role for the filter screen 8, preventing the filter screen 8 from being blocked by impurities.

[0031] Thus, a series of operations are completed. The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
