Detailed implementation manners

[0027] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation manners.

[0028] First embodiment

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , wherein Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided by the present utility model; Figure 2 is Figure 1 the schematic diagram of the cylinder block structure shown in; Figure 3 is Figure 1 the schematic sectional structure diagram shown in; Figure 4 is Figure 1 the schematic diagram of the structure during operation shown in. A mechanical liquid level sensing device includes: a cylinder block 1, on the inner side surface of the cylinder block 1 there is provided a piston partition 12, on one side of the cylinder block 1 there is opened a cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11, and on the front surface of the cylinder block 1 there is opened a buffer pipe interface 13;

[0030] a top cover 2, the top cover 2 is arranged on the top of the cylinder block 1;

[0031] a fine-tuning screw 3, the fine-tuning screw 3 is threadedly connected to the inner side surface of the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11;

[0032] a buffer pipe 4, the buffer pipe 4 is wound around the outer side surface of the cylinder block 1, and one end of the buffer pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side surface of the buffer pipe interface 13;

[0033] an interface 5, the interface 5 is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder block 1;

[0034] a piston 6, the piston 6 is arranged inside the cylinder block 1 and is located on the top of the piston partition 12.

[0035] The inside of the buffer pipe interface 13 is in communication with the inside of the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11, and one side of the fine-tuning screw 3 is arranged at one end of the buffer pipe interface 13.

[0036] On the other side of the cylinder block 1, a buffer pipe clamp plate 14 is fixedly installed, and the buffer pipe clamp plate 14 is arranged on the side of the buffer pipe 4.

[0037] On the top of the top cover 2, a cover ventilation hole 21 is opened.

[0038] A cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11 for adjusting the size of the air extraction hole, thereby finely adjusting the instantaneous negative pressure value in the cylinder block 1; a piston partition plate 12 for preventing the piston 6 from separating from the cylinder block 1; the buffer pipe 4 is communicated with the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11; the cover ventilation hole 21 is much larger than the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11 to facilitate the formation of a negative pressure difference with the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11;

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, when this liquid level sensing device is in use, it is installed on the top of the container, and the liquid enters from the bottom of the container.

[0040] The working principle of a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0041] When in use, because the hole of the cover ventilation hole 21 is much larger than the hole of the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11, when the interface 5 extracts air, the negative pressure suction force in the cylinder block 1 below the piston 6 will be much stronger than that above the piston 6 in the cover ventilation hole 21. However, due to the large static friction force between the piston 6 and the cylinder block 1, the piston 6 still remains at the top. Since the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11 is below the piston 6 at this time, the cylinder block 1 together with the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11, and the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11 together with the buffer pipe 4, so the buffer pipe 4 will extract air externally;

[0042] When the pipe orifice of the buffer pipe 4 is blocked by liquid (when a small part of the liquid comes into contact with the liquid and also enters the buffer pipe 4), the internal air of the buffer pipe 4 will be instantly exhausted. At this time, the negative pressure value in the cylinder block 1 below the piston 6 rises sharply to exceed the static friction force of the piston 6, and the piston 6 is sucked down to block the air extraction hole. At this time, the vacuum pump can no longer extract air through the buffer pipe 4, and thus stops continuing to extract the air in the container. The air pressure value in the container is balanced with the external air pressure value, and the liquid is no longer sucked into the container;

[0043] The size of the cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11 can be adjusted by the fine-tuning screw 3, thereby controlling the sensitivity of this device to adapt to different liquids;

[0044] To open the device again, it is necessary to switch the external vacuum pump interface 5 to the blowing mode and blow air into the cylinder block 1. When the pressure value in the cylinder block 1 exceeds the static friction force of the piston 6, the piston 6 returns to the top again and can work normally again.

[0045] Compared with the related technology, a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] Through the cooperation of structures such as cylinder block 1, cylinder block fine-tuning hole 11, piston 6, interface 5, buffer tube 4 and fine-tuning screw 3, during use, when the liquid contacts the conduit inlet of the device, the internal piston 6 will automatically sink, blocking the air hole, thus cutting off the negative pressure source, preventing the generation of negative pressure in the container and the container from sucking liquid anymore. In this way, the liquid level sensing device has a more concise and sensitive sensing function, without the need for a complex electronic system to sense whether the liquid is in place, facilitating subsequent maintenance, increasing reliability, and compared with the devices on the market that sense the liquid level through buoyancy, it has higher sensitivity and can be made small in size, facilitating installation.

[0047] Second Embodiment

[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 , based on a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the second embodiment of the present application proposes another mechanical liquid level sensing device. The second embodiment is only a preferred manner of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the independent implementation of the first embodiment.

[0049] Specifically, the difference of a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided in the second embodiment of the present application is that, for a mechanical liquid level sensing device, an external thread ring 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder block 1, and a limiting member 71 is threadedly connected to the outer side surface of the external thread ring 7.

[0050] A retaining ring 73 is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the interface 5, and the retaining ring 73 is arranged at the bottom of the inner side surface of the limiting member 71.

[0051] Anti-slip grooves 72 are formed on the outer side surface of the limiting member 71.

[0052] The working principle of a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0053] When in use and it is necessary to replace the interface 5, the user can rotate the limiting member 71 to threadedly connect the limiting member 71 on the outer side surface of the external thread ring 7 until the limiting member 71 is threadedly disconnected from the outer side surface of the external thread ring 7. Then, the limiting member 71 is moved downward from the bottom of the retaining ring 73. Then, the user can disassemble the interface 5, insert a new interface 5 into the bottom of the cylinder block 1, then sleeve the limiting member 71 on the outer side surface of the interface, and make the bottom of the inner side surface of the limiting member 71 abut against the bottom of the retaining ring 73. Then, the limiting member 71 is threadedly connected to the outer side surface of the external thread ring 7, thereby being able to limit and install the interface 5.

[0054] Compared with the related art, a mechanical liquid level sensing device provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] Through the cooperation of structures such as the external thread ring 7, the limiting member 71, the anti-slip groove 72 and the retaining ring 73, when in use, the user only needs to rotate the limiting member 71 to make the limiting member 7 fall off from the top of the external thread ring 7, and then the interface 5 can be disassembled and replaced, and the operation is convenient and fast.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
