Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of float switches, in particular to a sealed cavity structure of a liquid level float switch. Background Art
[0002] The operating principle of a float level switch is similar to that of a rod-type float switch, and it can also be called a miniature float level switch. As the name suggests, its main components are a magnetic float, a plastic or stainless steel stem, and an internal imported reed switch. Typically, one or more reed switches are installed as needed within a sealed non-magnetic metal or engineering plastic tube. A float with a built-in magnetic system is then fixed to the relevant position of the reed switch within the tube. The float moves up and down within a certain range, and the magnetic system within the float triggers the reed switch through the tube, generating a switching action to control the liquid level.
[0003] The float in the existing float liquid level switch is mainly formed by ultrasonic welding of a float cup and a cover plate. In normal use, this design has a service life of about three years. However, when used on some special equipment, due to changes in water temperature, the float welding gap will be affected, which may cause the float to crack (not sealed), and then water will enter the float, causing the float to lose buoyancy. Therefore, in order to improve the float structure, increase the buoyancy of the float, and avoid the problem of water entering the float due to cracking of the float, resulting in the float losing buoyancy, the utility model proposes a liquid level float switch sealed cavity structure to solve the above problem.
