[0030] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a condensate pump with a built-in non-contact liquid level sensor includes a pump body 1, a stator assembly 2, a rotor assembly 3, and a control board 4. The pump body 1 has a rectangular cavity 101 inside, and a rotor chamber 5 protrudes axially from the rectangular cavity 101. That is, the rotor chamber 5 protrudes into the rectangular cavity 101, and the rotor chamber 5 isolates the stator assembly 2 from the rotor assembly 3. The cavity of the rotor chamber 5 faces outward from the rectangular cavity 101 and is not connected to the rectangular cavity 101. The rotor assembly 3 is located inside the rotor chamber 5, and the stator assembly 2 is located in the rectangular cavity 101 outside the rotor chamber 5. The stator assembly 2 has a relatively long dimension, so the stator assembly 2 is usually assembled along the length direction of the rectangular cavity 101 and cooperates with the rotor chamber 5.

[0032] The control board 4 includes a first half-section 401 for mounting the liquid level sensor 6 and a second half-section 402 for mounting the electronic components 7. The control board 4 is vertically mounted against one side of the pump body 1 along its length direction, and the thickness of the control board 4 is less than the distance from the rotor chamber 5 to that side along its length direction.

[0033] The control board 4 used in traditional condensate pumps only includes the second half-section 402 for mounting electronic components 7. Therefore, the control board 4 can be installed above the stator assembly 2 next to the rotor chamber 5. The control board 4 in this invention also includes the first half-section 401 for mounting the liquid level sensor 6. The area of ​​the control board 4 is nearly doubled, making conventional horizontal installation impossible. This invention changes the traditional installation method, modifying the control board 4 from horizontal installation to vertical installation along its length. This increases the installation space along the length of the control board 4, no longer limited by the rotor chamber 5. Figure 4As shown, the installation position of the control panel 4 is located at the upper side in the figure, and the installation length is not limited to the right side of the rotor chamber 5. After placing the liquid level sensor 6 in the pump body 1, the space inside the equipment can also be saved.

[0034] The utility model adopts non -contact liquid level sensor 6, liquid level sensor 6 is located inside pump body 1, and is not contacted with the liquid in the equipment, and the non -contact liquid level sensor 6 and the control panel 4 integrated with non -contact liquid level sensor 6 are not new technologies, and can be directly purchased in the market, for example, the water level control panel on the market can be selected. When the condensate water outside the pump body 1 rises to the program set water level sensing height, the liquid level sensor 6 on the control panel 4 recognizes the water level, sends a signal to the control panel 4, and the host computer receives the signal, so that the condensate pump is powered on, and the condensate pump starts to drain,

[0035] The control panel 4 can be glued and fixed with the side surface of the pump body 1, or can be assembled through a limiting structure and then fixed with the stator assembly 2, and the limiting structure can be as follows: the inner bottom surface of the pump body 1 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 8 arranged close to the length direction side surface, and the control panel 4 is vertically clamped between the clamping block 8 and the length direction side surface. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping block 8 is a columnar structure fixed to the inner bottom surface of the pump body 1, and there are three clamping blocks 8 in total. When installing, the control panel 4 can be directly inserted between the clamping block 8 and the side surface of the pump body 1. In further design, the length direction side surface of the pump body 1 close to the control panel 4 has a stop block 9 shielding both ends of the control panel 4. The stop block 9 is fixed to the side surface of the pump body 1, or can be fixed to the inner bottom surface of the pump body 1 at the same time. The shape of the stop block 9 is the same as that of the clamping block 8. The stop block 9 and the clamping block 8 together surround the control panel 4, so as to prevent the control panel 4 from sliding out to the side.

[0036] The stator assembly 2 usually includes a stator core 201, a stator skeleton 202 and an enameled wire wound on the stator skeleton 202. The stator core 201 has a U-shaped structure, as shown in the figure. The stator core 201 includes a rectangular mounting portion 2011 and an arc-shaped claw portion 2012 matched with the rotor chamber 5. A straight arm portion 2013 is further arranged between the rectangular mounting portion 2011 and the arc-shaped claw portion 2012. The stator skeleton 202 is connected to the straight arm portion 2013. The stator assembly 2 can be fixed in the pump body 1 by welding, bolting, pasting or the like. Thus, it is necessary to process mounting holes on the stator assembly 2. If the connecting member is made of metal, it will also affect the magnetic field distribution. Moreover, the long rectangular cavity 101 is narrow and inconvenient to operate. Therefore, the utility model also pre-assembles the stator assembly 2 by using a limiting structure.

[0037] Since the height of the stator skeleton 202 is greater than the height of the stator core 201, the stator core 201 needs to be lifted up, as shown in the figure. Figure 3As shown, the utility model discloses a protruding limiting portion 10 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of rotor chamber 5, the inner bottom surface of pump body 1 is provided with locating post 11, locating post 11 is arranged in close contact with the width direction side surface of pump body 1 away from rotor chamber 5, rectangular mounting portion 2011 is placed on locating post 11, arc claw portion 2012 is placed on limiting portion 10, so that the space of stator core 201 and the inner bottom surface of pump body 1 has stator skeleton 202. Locating post 11 and limiting portion 10 are in common to the height of stator core 201 and are limited, and arc claw portion 2012 is surrounded outside rotor chamber 5 to realize plane positioning.

[0038] Because the inner diameter of the two arc claw portions 2012 of the stator core 201 is different, and the rotor chamber 5 is a regular cylindrical structure, in order to realize the accurate positioning of the stator assembly 2 on the horizontal surface, the utility model discloses that the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 matched with the arc claw portion 2012 and the positioning protrusion 13 extending to the direction of the stator skeleton 202 are arranged on the outer surface of the rotor chamber 5, the side edge of the positioning protrusion 13 is in close contact with the inner side surface of the two straight arm portions 2013, and the end surface of the positioning protrusion 13 is in abutment with the end surface of the stator skeleton 202. Figure 7 As shown, a small section of the left side of the two straight arm portions 2013 exceeds the stator skeleton 202, and this part forms a U-shaped matching surface with the stator skeleton 202, and the positioning protrusion 13 is in close contact with the U-shaped matching surface.

[0039] The control board 4 and the stator assembly 2 need to be further fixed after being assembled through the limiting structure, in order to avoid the control board 4 from being damp, the utility model discloses that the stator assembly 2 and the control board 4 are integrally fixed in a glue pouring sealing mode. The glue is usually epoxy resin. After the glue pouring sealing is adopted, the sealing property is better, and problems such as short circuit of the stator and the control board 4 are effectively avoided. The glue pouring sealing area needs to be limited to a certain extent, if the pouring sealing thickness is too low, the sealing property will be reduced, if the glue penetrates into the control board 4, electronic components 7 may be damaged, therefore, the pouring sealing height of the glue is limited as follows: the pouring sealing height of the glue is higher than the upper end surface of the control board 4 and is lower than the upper end surface of the pump body 1. Figure 2 As shown in the first position 14 in the figure, the upper end surface of the control board 4 is also the lowest liquid level surface of the glue, and the second position 15 is the upper end surface of the pump body 1, which is also the highest liquid level surface of the glue. Under the traditional control board 4 assembly mode, the control board 4 must be located above the stator assembly 2 as a whole, so the pouring sealing thickness is limited, and in the utility model, the control board 4 and the stator assembly are installed in different areas, so the control board 4 does not need to be located above the stator assembly 2 as a whole, and therefore, the pouring sealing thickness can be increased.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the side of the pump body 1 near the rotor chamber 5 in the width direction is connected to the rotor chamber 5 by a connecting plate 16, which is used to improve the structural strength of the rotor chamber 5.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, after the stator assembly 2 and control board 4 are filled into the pump body 1, they are covered with a cover 17 to seal the rectangular cavity 101. On the open side of the rotor chamber 5, a pump casing 18 with a pump cavity is connected to the pump body 1, and the blades 19 connecting the rotor assembly 3 are located in the pump cavity.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "vertical", "horizontal", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0043] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0044] In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiments. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0045] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
