Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of radar instruments, in particular to an anti-corrosion radar instrument device. Background Art
[0002] Radar instruments are electronic devices that use electromagnetic waves to detect targets. For example, a radar level gauge, when in use, is fixed in the detection position. Electromagnetic pulses travel along a steel cable or probe at the speed of light. When they encounter the surface of the measured medium, part of the radar level gauge's pulse is reflected, forming an echo that returns along the same path to the pulse transmitter. The distance between the transmitter and the surface of the measured medium is proportional to the pulse's propagation time between them, and the liquid level is calculated.
[0003] The detection probes of radar level gauges are all equipped with waveguides. These waveguides are made of 304 stainless steel and offer excellent strength, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, the most common connection between the waveguide and the radar level gauge is via fasteners, with a flat sealing gasket, such as a rubber ring, placed at the connection. However, the waveguide is typically inserted into the tank body. As can be expected, after prolonged operation, moisture will inevitably penetrate through the tiny gaps between the flat surface of the sealing gasket and the remaining components, entering the tank and corroding the probe and other electronic components. Furthermore, radar level gauges are often fixed to their mounting bases, which are in turn secured to the tank body with screws. Damage to the mounting base requires the laborious process of removing the screws one by one.
[0004] To this end, the utility model provides an anti-corrosion radar instrument device, which improves the airtightness of the installation position of the instrument components and improves the maintenance convenience of the instrument. Utility Model Content

[0030] The bottom end of the screw sleeve 2 is provided with a embedding groove 4, a plum blossom key 5 is provided in the embedding groove 4, a mounting seat 6 is embedded in the embedding groove 4, and the side wall of the mounting seat 6 is provided with a plum blossom groove 7 that cooperates with the plum blossom groove 7. A hollow waveguide 13 is embedded in the axis of the mounting seat 6, and a probe is embedded in the waveguide 13;
[0031] A mounting ring 8 is provided below the mounting seat 6. The mounting ring 8 is provided with a plurality of circular holes. A screw 9 is inserted into each circular hole. The diameter of the circular hole is larger than the diameter of the threaded portion of the screw 9 and smaller than the size of the end of the screw 9. The number of convex keys of the plum blossom key 5 corresponds to the number of screws 9. Each convex key of the plum blossom key 5 is provided with a threaded hole. The screw 9 passes through the mounting ring 8 from the circular hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
[0032] An elastic sealing sleeve 10 is embedded in the side wall of the waveguide 13. The sealing sleeve 10 is in the shape of an inverted cone. A pressing edge is provided on the side of the conical upper end of the sealing sleeve 10. The pressing edge is pressed between the mounting seat 6 and the mounting ring 8. A ring channel 11 is provided on the upper end of the pressure plate. A plurality of through holes corresponding to the screws 9 are provided on the pressing edge in the ring channel 11, so that the screws 9 can pass through the through holes in the ring channel 11 and penetrate the sealing sleeve 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, an open recessed groove corresponding to the circular hole is provided at the bottom end of the mounting ring 8, so that the screw rod 9 can be installed in a hidden manner, making the threaded installation more beautiful.
[0039] In this embodiment, a tightening ring, such as a cable tie, is provided at the connection portion between the lower end of the sealing sleeve 10 and the waveguide 13 to improve the connection stability between the sealing sleeve 10 and the waveguide 13 .
[0040] Example 2. In order to improve the convenience of maintenance and replacement of the radar instrument, in this embodiment, the fixing seat 3 is a flange, the axis of the flange is provided with an internal threaded barrel, and the outer wall of the screw sleeve 2 is provided with an external thread, so that the screw sleeve 2 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded barrel and the screw sleeve 2 passes through the threaded barrel, thereby making the radar level meter 1 and the fixing seat 3 detachable.

[0041] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 14 is provided on the side wall of the radar level gauge 1 above the screw sleeve 2, which is used to limit the connection between the screw sleeve 2 and the internal threaded barrel. When the limiting ring 14 rests against the upper end face of the internal threaded barrel, the screw sleeve 2 can no longer descend, and the radar level gauge 1 is now installed.
[0042] In this solution, sealing gaskets are placed between the upper end surface of the internal threaded cylinder and the ground of the limiting ring 14, and between the connection parts of the waveguide 13 and the mounting seat 6 to increase the airtightness of the contact parts of the components.
