Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of viscous liquid liquid level measurement, and more specifically, relates to an installation structure of a liquid level gauge. Background Art
[0002] Viscous liquids contain a large amount of grease, micron-sized iron powder or other solid particles, require a certain temperature for heat preservation, need to be stirred to ensure uniform distribution of the viscous liquid, and can generate splashing droplets. Currently, for the measurement of the liquid level of such viscous liquids, ultrasonic liquid level gauges are generally not used because the ultrasonic liquid level gauge is installed at the top of the container, emits sound waves, measures the time difference after the sound waves are reflected by the top of the liquid level, and calculates the liquid level by multiplying the speed of sound and dividing by two. However, the ultrasonic contact is easily contaminated by viscous substances and fails. Nor is a communicating pipe liquid level gauge used because the solid-liquid medium easily blocks the bottom of the communicator, causing the liquid level gauge to fail. Therefore, for the measurement of such viscous liquids, a direct insertion capacitance type liquid level transmitter is used for measurement. The measuring device generally includes a stainless steel measuring rod that penetrates into the container and is immersed in the liquid for measurement. However, the viscous medium easily contaminates the entire stainless steel measuring rod, causing the liquid level gauge to fail. The manifestation is that the measured value is 0 or the maximum value of the range. It affects the accuracy and service life of the liquid level gauge. And it affects the continuous automatic operation of the automation equipment.
[0003] In the prior art, there is a technology with the name of "A Viscous Liquid Level Gauge" and the publication number of "CN105157791A". This technology discloses a viscous liquid level gauge that is stably installed on the tank body of the measured liquid and has a liquid level gauge rod body. The viscous liquid level gauge includes a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the tank body and two fixed bushings for fixing the liquid level gauge rod body. The fixed bushings are respectively arranged at the upper and lower parts of the liquid level gauge rod body. A metal stop block and a floating ball are also installed on the liquid level gauge rod body. The metal stop block is arranged in the middle of the liquid level gauge rod body. The floating ball is placed on the measured liquid and can float up and down with the rise and fall of the liquid level. An optoelectronic induction switch is arranged at the middle position of the mounting bracket. For this kind of viscous liquid level gauge, the floating ball of the liquid level gauge is placed on the measured liquid and the position information of the metal stop block that can reflect the rise and fall of the liquid level is detected through the optoelectronic induction switch. Therefore, it can not only effectively detect the liquid level of the viscous liquid, but also has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and has a low cost.
[0004] However, this technology does not involve the technical problems and technical solutions of the present application. Content of the Utility Model

In this way, the purpose of cleaning the measuring rod of the liquid level gauge without disassembling can be realized, and the maintenance difficulty can be reduced. When the plug plates are opened, it is convenient for the droplets on the upper part of the liquid level gauge to volatilize, and the cleaning cycle of the liquid level gauge is extended.
