[0002] The float level gauge consists of a float, a plug rod, etc. The float level gauge is installed on the top of the container through a connecting flange. The float floats on the liquid surface according to the principle that the displaced liquid volume is equal. When the liquid level of the container changes, the float also moves up and down. Due to the magnetic effect, the reed of the float level gauge is magnetically attracted, converting the change in the liquid level position into an electrical signal, and the actual position of the liquid is digitally displayed through a display instrument, so that the float level gauge can achieve remote detection and control of the liquid level.

[0003] When the float level gauge is measuring, in an environment with solids present, the solids may directly block the connecting pipe, causing the measurement to fail; when there is agitation, the level gauge fluctuates greatly in an environment with agitation, and the detection is inaccurate. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of how to detect the liquid level in an environment with solid particles and accompanied by agitation, the utility model proposes a float level gauge.

[0018] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar symbols represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the utility model and should not be construed as limiting the utility model.

[0019] As Figures 1-2 shown, a float level gauge includes a float level gauge body 1, a flange 2 is installed on the float level gauge body 1, the above is the prior art, a mounting plate 3 is installed on the float level gauge body 1 and below the flange 2, an anti-fluctuation component 4 is arranged on the mounting plate 3, and a plurality of buffer components 5 are arranged on the anti-fluctuation component 4. The buffer components 5 are used for buffering liquid fluctuations.

[0020] By setting the protective cylinder 41 and the filter screen 42, solid particles are effectively blocked from entering, preventing the connecting pipe from being blocked, ensuring the effectiveness of measurement. The rotating plate 53 in the buffer assembly 5 can play a buffering role when the liquid fluctuates, reducing the fluctuation of the liquid level gauge in the stirring environment, improving the accuracy of detection, and thus improving the accuracy of the float liquid level gauge in detecting the liquid level in the case of solid particles accompanied by stirring.

[0021] A further improvement of the technical solution lies in that the anti-fluctuation assembly 4 includes a protective cylinder 41, the protective cylinder 41 is sleeved on the float liquid level gauge body 1, the protective cylinder 41 and the mounting plate 3 are detachably connected, the mounting plate 3 is used to block one side of the protective cylinder 41, and a plurality of filter screens 42 are installed on the outer periphery of the protective cylinder 41. The number of the buffer assemblies 5 is the same as the number of the filter screens 42, and the buffer assemblies 5 are arranged on one side of the protective cylinder 41 close to the filter screens 42, that is, the liquid will impact the buffer assemblies 5 behind the filter screens 42 after passing through the filter screens 42.

[0022] In a liquid environment with solid particles accompanied by stirring, the float liquid level gauge body 1 works. The protective cylinder 41 is sleeved outside the float liquid level gauge body 1, and the filter screen 42 on its outer periphery blocks solid particles from entering.

[0023] A further improvement of the technical solution lies in that the protective cylinder 41 and the mounting plate 3 can be fastened by bolts.

[0024] A further improvement of the technical solution lies in that the buffer assembly 5 includes a fixing plate 51 and an L-shaped baffle 52. The fixing plate 51 and the L-shaped baffle 52 are both installed in the protective cylinder 41, and a rotating plate 53 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 51. A counterweight 54 is installed on the side of the rotating plate 53 away from the fixing plate 51. An elastic member 55 is installed between the fixing plate 51 and the rotating plate 53, and a plurality of through holes 56 are formed in the rotating plate 53. The L-shaped baffle 52 is used to limit the rotation amplitude of the rotating plate 53.

[0025] When the liquid fluctuates and stirs, the liquid impacts the buffer assembly 5, and the impact force of the liquid acts on the rotating plate 53, causing the rotating plate 53 to rotate on the fixing plate 51. The counterweight 54 on the rotating plate 53 increases the stability of rotation. The elastic member 55 (spring) provides a certain restoring force, enabling the rotating plate 53 to reset after being impacted. The L-shaped baffle limits the rotation amplitude of the rotating plate 53 to prevent excessive rotation.

[0026] The plurality of through holes 56 on the rotating plate 53 enable the liquid to flow through, reducing the resistance.

[0027] Through the buffering of the liquid fluctuation by the buffer assembly 5, the influence on the liquid level gauge body is reduced, so that the liquid level can be detected more accurately.

[0028] A further improvement of the technical solution lies in that the elastic member 55 is a spring.

[0029] A further improvement of the technical solution is that the elastic member 55 can be replaced with other existing elastic structures that can achieve elastic recovery.

[0030] A further improvement of the technical solution is that a bottom cover 6 is detachably connected to one end of the protective cylinder 41 away from the mounting plate 3, and the bottom cover 6 is used to block one side of the protective cylinder 41 away from the mounting plate 3.

[0031] A further improvement of the technical solution is that the bottom cover 6 and the protective cylinder 41 are fastened by bolts.

[0032] The protective cylinder 41 and the mounting plate 3 are detachably connected, and the bottom cover 6 on the protective cylinder 41 is detachably connected, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance and cleaning of the internal components.

[0033] The detachable connection of the bottom cover 6 on the protective cylinder 41 enables the device to directly contact the liquid at the bottom of the float level gauge when detecting a liquid without solid particles by removing the detachable bottom cover 6 at this time, so as to contact the liquid faster and carry out the detection work.
