[0002] Vacuum impregnation equipment, also known as vacuum varnishing equipment or a vacuum impregnator, is a type of industrial equipment used to process electrical components. Its primary function is to place the workpiece to be processed in a vacuum container. The vacuum removes moisture, air, and other volatile substances from the workpiece. The vacuum then facilitates the penetration of insulating materials (such as insulating varnish) into the tiny gaps within the workpiece. This treatment method improves the workpiece's insulation properties, mechanical strength, and resistance to moisture and mildew. Using vacuum impregnation equipment can significantly improve product quality, reduce production costs, and enhance product competitiveness.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A liquid level control device for a vacuum impregnation machine, comprising:

[0028] A storage box 1 for storing impregnating paint and a cylinder 2 for impregnating products are provided above the storage box 1. Cylinder 2 is fitted with a cylinder cover 3. A vacuum pump 5 is mounted on one side of the cylinder 2 for evacuating the interior of the cylinder 2. A connecting pipe 8 for conveying impregnating paint is located at the bottom of the cylinder 2. A tray 12 for placing the product is mounted within the cylinder 2. Tray 12 is provided with a leak hole 13 for the impregnating paint to pass through. Tray 12 is surrounded by a rim, and a liquid level sensor 14 is mounted on one side of the rim. A vacuum tube 6 is mounted on the suction end of the vacuum pump 5, connecting to the cylinder 2. A first valve 7 is mounted on the vacuum tube 6. The lower end of the connecting pipe 8 passes through the storage box 1 and extends to its inner bottom. A second valve 9 is mounted on the connecting pipe 8. A lid 10 is mounted on one side of the storage box 1, and a balancing pipe 11 is mounted on the lid 10 to balance the air pressure within the storage box 1.

[0029] The cylinder 2 also includes a lifting mechanism for driving the tray 12 up and down. The lifting mechanism includes a slide 18 and a screw 16. The screw 16 is rotatably mounted on one side of the cylinder 2. The screw 16 is mounted on the slide 18, and one side of the slide 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tray 12. A first side plate 15 is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of one side of the cylinder 2. The screw 16 is rotatably mounted between the first side plate 15 and the bottom of the cylinder 2. A sealed bearing is embedded in one side of the bottom of the cylinder 2. The lower end of the screw 16 is inserted and fixed to the inner ring of the sealed bearing. A motor 17 is installed on one side of the bottom of the cylinder 2. The output end of the motor 17 is in driving connection with the lower end of the screw 16.

[0030] By arranging a cylinder 2 above the storage box 1, a tray 12 with a leak hole 13 is arranged in the cylinder 2, and a driving mechanism for driving the tray 12 to move up and down is arranged in the cylinder 2, and the driving mechanism includes a screw rod 16 and a slide 18. When in use, the cylinder cover 3 is opened, and the product is placed on the tray 12. After closing the cylinder cover 3, the second valve 9 is closed and the first valve 7 is opened, the vacuum pump 5 is started to evacuate the cylinder 2 to form a negative pressure environment. After that, the first valve 7 is closed and the second valve 9 is opened. Under the action of the negative pressure, the connecting pipe 8 draws the insulating paint in the storage box 1 into the cylinder 2. When the air pressure in the cylinder 2 reaches equilibrium, the second valve 9 is closed. According to the requirements of the impregnation liquid level of different products, the motor 17 is started to drive the screw rod 16 to work, and the slide 18 drives the tray 12 to move down and immerse into the corresponding liquid level. After the cyclic impregnation is completed, the second valve 9 and the cylinder 2 are closed, and the impregnated paint flows back to the storage box 1. The product can be taken out after being drained.

[0031] In general, the device has a simple structure and is easy to use. The driving mechanism can drive the tray 12 to rise and fall in the cylinder 2.

A guide seat 21 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 20, and one side of the guide seat 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the edge of the tray 12.

[0036] By setting a second side plate 19 in the cylinder body 2 and a guide rod 20 at the bottom of the second side plate 19, a guide seat 21 on one side of the tray 12 is slidably installed on the guide rod 20, which can play a good guiding role when the tray 12 is raised and lowered, and at the same time, improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the tray 12.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
