Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of recreational vehicles, in particular to an intelligent monitoring device for the water level of a recreational vehicle water tank. Background Art
[0002] At present, a recreational vehicle, also known as a motorhome, has a heat-insulating layer installed in the carriage, and is equipped with tables and chairs, sleeping utensils (which can be transformed from seat utensils), cooking utensils, storage (including food and items), sanitary facilities, and necessary lighting and air-conditioning facilities, etc. It is a special-purpose vehicle for tourism and camping of field workers.
[0003] In the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN211592370U, a special storage water tank for a recreational vehicle is disclosed. In the above prior art, although the use convenience of the special storage water tank for the recreational vehicle is improved by setting two groups of reinforcement plates, the recreational vehicle will shake during driving. When the internal water tank of the recreational vehicle shakes together with the recreational vehicle, the water inside will also shake. Some of the water level monitoring devices of the motorhomes are installed inside the water tank for monitoring. Once the water starts to shake, the water level monitoring device inside the water tank will be impacted, which will affect the monitoring and also reduce the service life. Moreover, the shaking of the water will always make the water level difficult to maintain in a stable state, making the water level monitoring device unable to normally judge the remaining water volume, and even misreport, affecting the normal use of the recreational vehicle water tank. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve the technical problem that the water level monitoring device inside the water tank is easily affected by water flow impact and affects its use, the utility model provides an intelligent monitoring device for the water level of a recreational vehicle water tank.
[0005] The utility model is realized by adopting the following technical scheme: an intelligent monitoring device for the water level of a recreational vehicle water tank, including a water tank, a monitoring component for monitoring the internal water level is arranged at the top of the water tank, a plurality of stabilizing components for reducing the shaking amplitude of the liquid inside the water tank are arranged inside the water tank, a temperature control component capable of automatically monitoring the temperature of the liquid inside the water tank is sleeved outside the water tank, and the monitoring component includes a protection box fixedly installed at the top of the water tank and an ultrasonic sensor fixedly installed inside the protection box for monitoring the height of the water level inside the water tank.
[0006] Through the above technical scheme, the monitoring component will monitor the water level outside the water tank, the stabilizing component will reduce the shaking amplitude of the water inside the water tank, avoiding incorrect monitoring by the monitoring component, and the temperature control component will monitor the water temperature inside the water tank when needed, and automatically turn on the heating plate for heating when the temperature is too low.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above solution, a controller is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank, and a first cable is connected to one side of the ultrasonic sensor. One end of the first cable penetrates through the protection box and is connected to the controller.
[0008] Through the above technical solution, the ultrasonic sensor will transmit the monitoring data to the controller, and then the controller will transmit it to the system of the recreational vehicle, which is convenient for monitoring the water level of the water tank.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above solution, the stabilizing component includes limiting strips fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the water tank and a baffle plate arranged between the two limiting strips. Sliding grooves are formed on one side of each of the two limiting strips, and the baffle plate is slidably matched with the limiting strips through the sliding grooves. A plurality of water passing holes penetrating through the baffle plate are formed on the baffle plate.
[0010] Through the above technical solution, the baffle plate is inserted between the two limiting strips. When the water starts to shake, it will be blocked by the baffle plate, reducing the shaking force of the water and facilitating the monitoring of the water level.
[0011] As a further improvement of the above solution, the temperature control component includes an integrated temperature sensor fixedly installed on one side of the water tank and a second cable connected to the integrated temperature sensor. One end of the second cable is connected to the controller.
[0012] Through the above technical solution, the integrated temperature sensor will monitor the temperature inside the water tank.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above solution, a heat preservation board for slowing down the decrease of the water temperature is sleeved outside the water tank, and the heat preservation board is arranged in a "mouth" shape.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, the heat preservation board will reduce the loss rate of the water temperature inside the water tank.
[0015] As a further improvement of the above solution, heating grooves are formed on the four sides of the heat preservation board, and heating plates are arranged inside each heating groove.
[0016] Through the above technical solution, the heating plates will heat the water temperature inside the water tank to a certain extent.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0018] By providing a monitoring component, a stabilizing component, and a temperature control component, and installing the monitoring component outside the water tank, the impact of water sloshing on the monitoring component can be avoided, ensuring its normal use. The stabilizing component reduces the intensity of water sloshing inside the water tank, preventing excessive sloshing from affecting the monitoring effect of the monitoring component. The temperature control component monitors the water temperature in the water tank to prevent cold weather from affecting the use of water. Such an arrangement can not only monitor the water level in the water tank, but also reduce the impact of water sloshing on the water tank and monitor the temperature of the water tank.

[0024] Next, in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, the present utility model will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, any combination of the following-described embodiments or technical features can form a new embodiment.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3, An intelligent monitoring device for the water level of a recreational vehicle water tank in this embodiment includes a water tank 1. A monitoring component for monitoring the internal water level is provided at the top of the water tank 1. A plurality of stabilizing components capable of reducing the amplitude of liquid sloshing inside the water tank 1 are provided inside the water tank 1. A temperature control component capable of automatically monitoring the temperature of the liquid inside the water tank 1 is sleeved outside the water tank 1. The monitoring component includes a protection box 201 fixedly installed at the top of the water tank 1 and an ultrasonic sensor 202 fixedly installed inside the protection box 201 for monitoring the height of the water level inside the water tank 1. A controller 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the water tank 1. One side of the ultrasonic sensor 202 is connected to a first cable 6. One end of the first cable 6 penetrates through the protection box 201 and is connected to the controller 5. The monitoring component monitors the water level outside the water tank 1. The stabilizing component reduces the amplitude of water sloshing inside the water tank 1 to avoid incorrect monitoring by the monitoring component. The temperature control component monitors the water temperature inside the water tank 1 when needed. When the temperature is too low, the heating plate 8 will be automatically turned on for heating.
[0026] Combined with Figure 3 , The stabilizing component includes limiting strips 301 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the water tank 1 and a baffle 302 arranged between the two limiting strips 301. Sliding grooves are formed on one side of each of the two limiting strips 301. The baffle 302 is slidably matched with the limiting strips 301 through the sliding grooves. A plurality of water passing holes penetrating through itself are formed on the baffle 302. The baffle 302 is inserted between the two limiting strips 301. When the water starts to slosh, it will be blocked by the baffle 302, reducing the sloshing force of the water and facilitating water level monitoring.
[0027] Combined with Figure 1 , The temperature control component includes an integrated temperature sensor 401 fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 1 and a second cable 402 connected to the integrated temperature sensor 401. One end of the second cable 402 is connected to the controller 5. A heat preservation board 7 for slowing down the decrease of water temperature is sleeved outside the water tank 1. The heat preservation board 7 is arranged in a "mouth" shape. Heating grooves are formed on all four sides of the heat preservation board 7. A heating plate 8 is arranged inside each heating groove. The heating plate 8 heats the water temperature inside the water tank 1 to a certain extent.
[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation principle of an intelligent monitoring device for the water level of a recreational vehicle water tank is as follows: Open the water tank 1 and insert the baffle 302 into the sliding groove of the limiting strip 301. In this way, when the water shakes, it will be blocked by the baffle 302, reducing the shaking force and thus reducing the impact on the entire water tank 1. The ultrasonic sensor 202 is installed on the top of the water tank 1 to monitor the water level inside the water tank 1. Since the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in water and air is different, but neither will be blocked by common water tank 1 materials (such as metal, plastic, etc.), these materials are "transparent" to ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic waves can easily penetrate them and reflect on the liquid surface. Therefore, there is no need to open a hole at the position of the ultrasonic sensor 202 to allow ultrasonic waves to enter the water tank 1. The ultrasonic sensor 202 can monitor the water level outside the water tank 1. At the same time, the baffle 302 reduces the impact force of the water, avoiding the loosening of the ultrasonic sensor 202. When the weather gets cold, the integrated temperature sensor 401 can be turned on to monitor the water temperature inside the water tank 1. When the water temperature is too low, the controller 5 transmits a signal to the recreational vehicle, and the recreational vehicle turns on the heating plate 8 to heat the water tank 1. The heating only needs to reach a suitable water temperature and does not need to heat the water to a high temperature. Therefore, a too high heating temperature is not required. Such a setting can not only monitor the water level of the water tank 1, but also reduce the impact of water shaking on the water tank 1, and can also monitor the temperature of the water tank 1.
[0029] The above-mentioned implementation manner is only the preferred implementation manner of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention belong to the protection scope required by the present invention.
