Description

Technical Field

[0002] In wastewater treatment, it's necessary to measure the liquid level within a tank. This is typically done with an ultrasonic level meter. When measuring the level of a tank, an ultrasonic level meter emits an ultrasonic pulse from a sensor. After reflecting off the liquid surface, the ultrasonic pulse is received by the sensor and converted into an electrical signal by a piezoelectric crystal. The time difference between the transmission and reception of the ultrasonic pulse is used to calculate the distance between the sensor and the liquid surface. In order to improve the waterproof performance of the ultrasonic level meter, a waterproof connector is generally used to connect the cable to the ultrasonic level meter. When using the existing waterproof connector (such as a cable waterproof connector disclosed in application number 202222252716.3), one end of the connector body is connected to the opening on the shell of the ultrasonic level meter, the cable is passed through the connector body and the opening on the shell, the tightening head is screwed onto the other end of the connector body, and the clamping strip is squeezed inward by the tightening head to fix the cable. When the ultrasonic level meter fails and needs to be repaired, the cable is first removed from the ultrasonic level meter and the waterproof connector, and then the ultrasonic level meter is repaired. To remove the cable from the waterproof connector, it is necessary to first separate the tightening head from the connector body. Since the tightening head and the connector body are threadedly connected, when the internal and external threads are damaged due to corrosion, this connection method easily makes it difficult to separate the tightening head from the connector body, or even makes it impossible to separate the tightening head from the connector body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] The utility model provides a waterproof connector for ultrasonic level gauge, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, it includes a joint body 100 and a driving mechanism 200, the joint body 100 includes a connecting tube 110 and a plurality of petals 120, each of the petals 120 is arranged in an annular direction and is connected to one end of the connecting tube 110, each of the petals 120 encloses a clamping channel 121 coaxial with the connecting tube 110, and the petals 120 have a deformable structure; the driving mechanism 200 includes a plurality of abutments 210 and a driving assembly 220, each of the abutments 210 is respectively arranged on the outside of the corresponding petal 120, and the driving assembly 220 is connected to each of the abutments 210, and is used to drive each of the abutments 210 to retract or separate from each other, so that each of the abutments 210 pushes the corresponding petal 120 to retract inward.

[0024] When in use, the other end of the connecting tube 110 is detachably connected to the opening on the shell of the ultrasonic level meter, and the cable is passed through the clamping channel 121, the connecting tube 110 and the opening on the shell in turn to fix the end of the cable to the shell. By manipulating the driving component 220, the driving component 220 drives each of the abutting members 210 to retract with each other, and each of the abutting members 210 can push the corresponding petals 120 to retract inward. During the process of retracting each of the petals 120 inward, the cable can be clamped to fix the cable.
