Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spinning equipment, in particular to a visual liquid level alarm system for an oil preparation room. Background Art

[0002] The oil preparation system is a system that mixes desalted water and crude oil into a finished oil. After the desalted water and crude oil are mixed in a mixing barrel, they are placed in a storage barrel for use in workshop production.

[0003] The storage barrel is equipped with a mechanical float switch, which automatically closes when the oil is full to prevent oil overflow. However, if the float switch is blocked and oil cannot flow out, it will cause oil shortage in the workshop, resulting in product degradation. During mixing, if the oil drain valve of the storage barrel is not closed, unmixed oil will flow into the storage barrel, resulting in incorrect oil concentration. Once this oil is used on site, it will also cause product degradation. The above two methods will lead to product degradation and cause huge losses. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a visual liquid level alarm system for the oil distribution room to notify personnel in time for processing. Utility Model Content
