Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid level gauges, in particular to a liquid level gauge for measuring mud height. Background Art
[0002] In chemical production, thickeners are often used for solid-liquid separation. The solid and liquid phases are separated in the thickener, with the bottom layer of mud being pumped out from the bottom and the upper layer of clear liquid overflowing from the top, thus achieving solid-liquid separation. In actual production, if the mud is not pumped out in a timely manner, the thickener will cause phenomena such as slurry overflow and turbidity, resulting in excessive impurities in the clear liquid and failure to meet production requirements. Therefore, in actual production, it is necessary to constantly monitor the mud level in the thickener so that the mud extraction rate can be adjusted in a timely manner to achieve optimal separation results. Existing level indicators such as radar level gauges and ultrasonic level gauges are not able to effectively indicate the mud level. Utility Model Content
[0003] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a liquid level gauge for measuring the mud height, which solves the technical problem that in actual production, if the mud cannot be pumped out in time, the thickener will overflow and become turbid, thereby causing the impurities in the clear liquid to exceed the standard and fail to meet production requirements.
[0004] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A liquid level gauge for measuring mud height includes a benchmark, an indicator, a first bracket and a second bracket. The benchmark is the main part of the liquid level gauge and is used to indicate the mud liquid level. The indicator is used to indicate the actual scale value of the mud liquid level. The first bracket is used to fix the benchmark inside the thickener, and the second bracket is used to fix the benchmark outside the thickener.
[0006] Preferably: the benchmark includes a scale, a float and a counterweight nut. The upper part of the scale has scale values, and the scale values increase from top to bottom. The height of the scale is slightly higher than the depth of the thickener. The lower end of the scale is provided with a thread. The float is fixed to the lower part of the scale. The material is preferably plastic, and the density should be slightly less than that of water, or it can be made into a hollow material to keep the benchmark floating above the water surface. The counterweight nut is installed at the lower end of the scale and is connected to the scale with a thread to fix the float to adjust the total weight of the benchmark. The number of counterweight nuts can be increased or decreased as needed to adjust the density of the benchmark to be slightly less than that of the mud and greater than that of water, so as to keep the benchmark floating above the mud liquid surface. The counterweight nut is preferably made of stainless steel.
[0007] Preferably: the indicator includes an indicating arrow and a bracket three, the indicating arrow is aligned with the scale scale, and is used to indicate the current mud height value. The indicating arrow is fixed on the bracket three and can slide on the bracket three to adjust the height of the indicating arrow, so that the correspondence between the indicating value and the actual value of the mud height can be adjusted. The correspondence between the indicating value and the mud height needs to be adjusted for the first use. The bracket three is used to fix the indicating arrow on the thickening machine cover.
[0008] Preferably, the first bracket and the second bracket are used to fix the benchmark on the thickener body, and the material is preferably stainless steel.
[0009] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] By adjusting the weight of the float, the float can be made to float well above the mud and accurately indicate the mud height, thereby solving the problem that existing level indicating devices such as radar level gauges and ultrasonic level gauges cannot well indicate the mud height. By timely observing the mud height and adjusting the mud extraction amount, the thickener can achieve better solid-liquid separation effect. The utility model has a simple structure, a low failure rate, and is easy to promote and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] The embodiment of the present application provides a liquid level meter for measuring the mud height, which effectively solves the technical problem in actual production that if the mud cannot be pumped out in time, it will cause the thickener to overturn and become turbid, thereby causing the impurities in the clear liquid to exceed the standard and fail to meet production requirements. Example
[0017] The overall idea of the technical solution in the embodiments of this application is as follows:
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in response to the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a liquid level gauge for measuring the mud height, comprising a rod 2, an indicator 3, a first bracket 4 and a second bracket 5. The rod 2 is the main part of the liquid level gauge and is used to indicate the mud liquid level; the indicator 3 is used to indicate the actual scale value of the mud liquid level; the first bracket 4 is used to fix the rod 2 inside the thickener 1; the second bracket 5 is used to fix the rod 2 outside the thickener 1;
[0019] The benchmark 2 includes a scale 21, a float 22 and a counterweight nut 23. The scale 21 has scale values on its upper portion, and the scale values increase in size from top to bottom. The height of the scale 21 is slightly higher than the depth of the thickener 1. The lower end of the scale 21 is provided with a thread. The float 22 is fixed to the lower portion of the scale 21. The material is preferably plastic, and the density should be slightly less than that of water, or it can be made of a hollow material to keep the benchmark 2 floating on the water surface. The counterweight nut 23 is installed at the lower end 21 of the scale and is connected to the scale 21 with a thread to fix the float 22 to adjust the total weight of the benchmark 2. The number of counterweight nuts 23 can be increased or decreased as needed to adjust the density of the benchmark 2 to be slightly less than that of the mud and greater than that of water, so as to keep the benchmark 2 floating on the mud liquid surface. The counterweight nut 23 is preferably made of stainless steel.
[0020] The indicator 3 includes an indicator arrow 31 and a third bracket 32. The indicator arrow 31 is aligned with the scale 21 and is used to indicate the current mud height value. The indicator arrow 31 is fixed to the third bracket 32 and can slide on the third bracket 32 to adjust the height of the indicator arrow 31, thereby adjusting the corresponding relationship between the indicated value and the actual mud height value. The corresponding relationship between the indicated value and the mud height needs to be adjusted during initial use. The third bracket 32 is used to fix the indicator arrow 31 on the cover plate of the thickener 1;
[0021] The bracket 1 4 and the bracket 2 5 are used to fix the benchmark 2 on the thickener 1 body, and the material is preferably stainless steel.
[0022] Working principle: Install the liquid level gauge on the body of the thickener 1 to be tested, inject mud into the thickener 1, adjust the number of counterweight nuts 23 so that the benchmark 2 can sink below the water surface and float above the mud liquid surface, adjust the relationship between the indicator arrow 31 and the actual scale, and as the mud height changes, the benchmark 2 floats up and down. The mud height value is read through the indicator arrow 31, so as to adjust the mud extraction amount in time to achieve a better separation effect.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to provide an exhaustive list of all possible embodiments. However, any obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
