Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a float liquid level controller with a self-checking function. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, float level controllers have been widely used in fields such as shipbuilding and chemical engineering. Traditional controllers are not corrosion-resistant or explosion-proof, and can become contaminated and damaged by viscous liquids. Regular inspection and maintenance are required. Furthermore, most float level controllers on the market do not provide remote monitoring and alarms during use, relying solely on visual inspection of a pressure gauge, which requires constant inspection and wastes time.

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] This application provides a float level controller with a self-test function, which is described in detail below. It should be noted that the order in which the following embodiments are described does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. In addition, in the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts not detailed in one embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0023] To solve the technical problem in the prior art that float level controllers cannot verify the instrument without liquid, an embodiment of the present application provides a float level controller with a self-test function, which is described in detail below.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a float liquid level controller with self-checking function includes

[0025] Housing 1, float 3 assembly and relay assembly, the relay assembly is installed in the housing 1, and the float 3 assembly is transmission-connected to the relay assembly;

[0026] The float 3 assembly includes a float 3 and a connecting rod 2, and the connecting rod 2 is arranged horizontally in the housing 1;

[0027] A self-test device is provided on the housing 1, and the self-test device includes a detection rod 4. The detection rod 4 is connected to the connecting rod 2 after passing through the housing 1. A sliding seal is formed between the detection rod 4 and the housing 1 to cooperate with the detection rod 4 to move up and down, which is suitable for driving the connecting rod 2 to swing up and down in the housing 1.

[0028] Specifically, as an optional implementation in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the detection rod 4 is sleeved with a spring 41, and a limit block 42 is provided at the end of the detection rod 4;

[0029] One end of the spring 41 abuts against the housing 1 , and the other end abuts against the limit block 42 at the end of the detection rod 4 .

[0030] The function of the spring 41 is to ensure that the detection rod 4 can move downward slowly, and finally control the connecting rod 2 to move downward slowly, to ensure that the detection is carried out stably. Because the detection is in a liquid-free state, the float 3 will be affected by gravity and directly affect the connecting rod 2. Now the spring 41 is used to support the connecting rod 2 to achieve a slow descent of the connecting rod 2.

[0031] Specifically, as an optional implementation in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a sealing ring is provided between the detection rod 4 and the housing 1 .

[0032] The connecting rod 2 is provided with a connecting groove, in which a connecting pin is arranged. The connecting pin is connected to the lower end of the detection rod 4. The connecting groove is a long groove in which the connecting pin can move. The connecting rod 2 swings in an arc during operation, so that it can move up and down with the detection rod 4.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the float liquid level controller is installed on the cabin, and a flange is provided on one side of the shell, which is connected to the cabin through the flange.

[0034] The entire float level controller is an existing product, and its principles are familiar. It primarily consists of two isolated components: a float assembly and a relay assembly. Liquid level changes are responsive to the float. Connecting rod 2 drives the two isolated magnets to repel each other, thereby actuating the relay contacts and achieving liquid level alarm control.

[0035] The float liquid level controller of the present invention mainly adds a self-test function. During self-test, the detection rod 4 swings upward, driving the connecting rod 2 to move upward to the limit position, simulating the floating ball 3 floating up. The detection rod 4 moves downward. At this time, the spring 41 is compressed, and the detection rod 4 drives the connecting rod 2 to swing downward to the limit position, simulating the floating ball 3 falling with the water level.
