Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid level sensors, in particular to a malfunction-resistant liquid level sensor. Background Art

[0002] Liquid level sensors are simple, easy-to-use level control devices. A float rises and falls with the liquid, causing a magnet to move up and down accordingly. A magnetic field activates a reed switch inside the sensor, closing or opening the switch to control the circuit. They require no power supply, lack complex circuitry, and offer advantages such as compact size and long service life. They are widely used in shipbuilding, generator equipment, petrochemicals, the food industry, water treatment equipment, dyeing and finishing, and hydraulic machinery. Currently, existing technology relies on contact between the bottom of the PCB and the bottom of the housing to ensure the magnet remains within the desired triggering range. However, existing technology suffers from the following application drawbacks: The PCB positioning method employed is prone to malfunction; the plastic housing employed is prone to dimensional uncontrollable after ultrasonic testing; and the plug employed is prone to uncontrollable positioning after ultrasonic testing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a liquid level sensor that is resistant to misoperation.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A malfunction-resistant liquid level sensor is designed, comprising a sensor body. A PCB is disposed in the cylindrical inner cavity of the sensor body. A clamping block is disposed on the top of the PCB. A clamping slot is formed on the top of the sensor body, and the clamping block is inserted into the clamping slot. A mounting seat is disposed on the PCB, and a first reed switch and a second reed switch are respectively disposed on the mounting seat. A plug is welded to the cylindrical bottom of the sensor body.

[0006] Preferably, a first buckle is provided on the cylindrical outer wall of the sensor body, and the first buckle is located at the cylindrical top of the sensor body.

[0007] Preferably, the cylindrical outer wall of the sensor body is sleeved with a first float and a second float, and the inner cavities of the first float and the second float are provided with slip rings, which are sleeved on the cylindrical outer wall of the sensor body.

[0008] Preferably, a second buckle and a third buckle are sleeved on the cylindrical outer wall of the sensor body, and the second buckle and the third buckle are located between the first float and the second float.

[0009] Preferably, a fourth buckle is sleeved on the cylindrical outer wall of the sensor body, and the fourth buckle is located between the second float and the plug.

[0010] The utility model proposes a malfunction-resistant liquid level sensor, which has the following beneficial effects: a slot is provided on the top of the sensor body, a card block is provided on the top of the PCB board, and the card block is inserted into the slot so that the bottom of the sensor body does not contact the sensor body. Therefore, injection molding deformation will not affect the positioning, and similarly, ultrasonic plugging will not affect the PCB board. The PCB board and the card block are in a stepped shape, which can prevent the product from malfunctioning due to poor ultrasonic accuracy of the body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
