Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sludge interface meters, and in particular relates to a sludge interface meter with a probe self-cleaning function. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, when measuring sludge, it is necessary to use an ultrasonic sludge interface meter. The ultrasonic sludge interface meter uses a reliable ultrasonic echo detection principle to detect the distance between the sensor probe and the sludge interface and the distance to the bottom surface, realizing real-time monitoring of 0-30m sludge thickness changes and control of related process. The sludge interface meter optimizes sludge discharge control and dosing control, prevents effluent deterioration, avoids sludge denitrification and decomposition, and optimizes process control flow.

[0003] Existing sludge interface meters often operate in harsh environments, particularly in sludge settling and thickening tanks, where sludge concentrations are high. The transducer portion of the probe is easily contaminated by sludge, which can affect ultrasonic transmission and reception, leading to measurement errors and shortening the instrument's service life. Therefore, we propose a sludge interface meter with a self-cleaning probe. Utility Model Content
