Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of liquid level switch technology, and specifically relates to a liquid level switch. Background Technology

[0002] A level switch, also known as a water level switch or level sensor, is, as the name suggests, a switch used to control the level of liquid. It is mainly divided into contact and non-contact types. Commonly used non-contact switches include capacitive level switches, while the most widely used contact type is the float level switch. Electrode level switches, electronic level switches, and capacitive level switches can also be implemented using contact methods.

[0003] Traditional level switches have a relatively fixed length, making it inconvenient to adjust the length according to actual usage needs and to adjust the position of the sensor according to different water levels. This reduces the applicability of the level switch and makes it inconvenient to install and disassemble, thus making it inconvenient to maintain the level switch. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a liquid level switch to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the fixed length of traditional liquid level switches, which are not convenient to adjust the length according to actual use needs, and the inconvenience to adjust the position of the sensor according to different water levels, thereby reducing the applicable range of the liquid level switch, and the inconvenience of installation and disassembly, which in turn makes the liquid level switch inconvenient to maintain.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a liquid level switch, comprising a switch body, a protective shell provided on the outside of the switch body, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the lower end of the switch body, first screws symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the connecting pipe, a float ball slidably connected to the outside of the first screws, a high-level sensor provided on one side of one of the first screws, a low-level sensor provided on one side of the other of the first screws, metal sensing plates provided at the bottom of the high-level sensor and the top of the low-level sensor, sensing blocks fixedly connected to the bottom of the high-level sensor and the top of the low-level sensor, a fixed cylinder fixedly connected to one side of the high-level sensor and the low-level sensor, a threaded cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cylinder, and clamping plates symmetrically arranged inside the fixed cylinder.

[0006] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly connected inside the protective shell.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting frame is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell, and a fixing block is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the top of the switch body. A sliding groove is provided inside one side of the connecting frame, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding groove. A pull plate is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod, and the pull plate and the sliding groove are slidably connected. A first spring is fixedly connected between one side of the sliding groove and one side of the pull plate.

[0008] Preferably, the pull plate is engaged with the fixing block via a positioning rod.

[0009] Preferably, a protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the first screw, and the protrusion and the connecting pipe are connected by a thread. A groove is provided at the lower end inside the first screw, and the protrusion and the groove are connected by a thread.

[0010] Preferably, each of the metal sensor sheets is fixedly connected to the high-position sensor and the low-position sensor respectively via a second spring, and a warning light is fixedly connected to the other side of each of the high-position sensor and the low-position sensor.

[0011] Preferably, the threaded cylinder and the first screw are connected by a thread.

[0012] Preferably, a second screw is symmetrically threaded to one side of the inside of the fixed cylinder, and a rotating seat is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate. The rotating seat and the second screw are rotatably connected.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a liquid level switch, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model adjusts the length of the liquid level switch by setting multiple first screws connected by protrusions and grooves. The high-level sensor and the low-level sensor can be moved to one side of the first screw through the threaded connection between the threaded cylinder and the first screw, which facilitates length adjustment according to actual use needs and sensor position adjustment according to different actual water levels, thereby increasing the applicability of the liquid level switch.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses a clamping plate to clamp the first screw. After the position is determined, the second screw is rotated. The second screw is threadedly connected to the fixed cylinder, which pushes the clamping plate to move inside the fixed cylinder, thereby clamping and fixing the first screw. This increases the stability of the connection and prevents the connection from loosening due to the impact of water flow during long-term use, which would affect the use of the high-level sensor and the low-level sensor. In addition, this device adopts a modular design, which is simple in structure and easy to connect between components. This facilitates the quick installation and disassembly of the level switch, facilitates the subsequent maintenance of the level switch, and improves the service life of the level switch.

[0030] In this utility model, preferably, the pull plate 8 is engaged with the fixing block 5 by the positioning rod 10.

[0031] In this utility model, preferably, a protrusion 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the first screw 12, and the protrusion 13 and the connecting pipe 11 are connected by a thread. A groove 14 is provided at the lower end inside the first screw 12, and the protrusion 13 and the groove 14 are connected by a thread.

[0033] In this utility model, preferably, the threaded cylinder 23 and the first screw 12 are connected by a thread.

This clamping plate 25 clamps and fixes the first screw 12, increasing connection stability and preventing loosening due to prolonged water flow impact, which could affect the high level switch's performance. The use of level sensor 16 and bottom level sensor 17: During operation, when the liquid level rises, the float 15 moves upward and collides with the metal sensing plate 18 at the bottom of the high level sensor 16. The metal sensing plate 18 compresses the second spring 19 and makes it contact the sensing block 20. The internal sensor of the high level sensor 16 receives the signal, and at the same time, the warning light 21 lights up, indicating that the liquid level has reached the high level. When the liquid level drops, the float 15 moves downward and collides with the metal sensing plate 18 at the top of the bottom level sensor 17. The metal sensing plate 18 compresses the second spring 19 and makes it contact the sensing block 20. The internal sensor of the high level sensor 16 receives the signal, and at the same time, the warning light 21 lights up, indicating that the liquid level has reached the high level. The overall structure adopts a modular design, which is simple in structure and easy to connect between components. This facilitates quick installation and disassembly of the level switch, facilitates subsequent maintenance of the level switch, and improves the service life of the level switch.
