This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0023] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a dual-inlet differential pressure switch includes a switch body 1. The switch body 1 contains a first medium channel 106, a second medium channel 107 located in the middle of the first medium channel 106, and a pressure diaphragm 105. The pressure diaphragm 105 is located at the inner opening of the first medium channel 106 and the second medium channel 107. Specifically, the first medium channel 106 and the second medium channel 107 are two independent pressure channels. The interface between the first medium channel 106 and the second medium channel 107 is located at the pressure diaphragm 105. The pressure diaphragm 105 is firmly and sealed around the end of the second medium channel 107. The pressure diaphragm 105 functions to sense the pressure difference between the first medium channel 106 and the second medium channel 107.
[0025] The switch body 1 has connecting structures on its outer side. The switch body 1 is detachably connected to the pressure test point through the connecting structures. In this embodiment, the connecting structure is a first external thread 104 on the outer side of the switch body 1. The switch body 1 is detachably connected to the pressure test point through the first external thread 104. The length, type, and distance of the first external thread 104 from the second medium pressure inlet can be set according to actual needs.
[0026] At least one first medium inlet 101 is provided on the outside of the switch body 1. Each first medium inlet 101 is connected to the first medium channel 106. All first medium inlets 101 are arranged around the switch body 1. In this embodiment, multiple first medium inlets 101 are provided on the outside of the switch body 1. All first medium inlets 101 are evenly arranged.
[0027] A second medium inlet 102 is provided on the outer side of the switch body 1, and the second medium inlet 102 communicates with a second medium channel 107, which is located at the end of the switch body 1. In a preferred embodiment, a sealing ring 103 is provided inside the end of the switch body 1 where the second medium inlet 102 is located. Specifically, the sealing ring 103 is located at the front end of the switch body 1, and when the present invention is tightened at the pressure test point, it serves to seal the pressure of the second medium inlet 102.
[0028] The dual-inlet differential pressure switch of this utility model also includes a contact fixing box 2 and a junction box 3.
[0029] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the contact fixing box 2 is located at the end of the switch body 1 away from the second medium inlet 102, that is, the contact fixing box 2 and the second medium inlet 102 are respectively located at both ends of the switch body 1. The contact fixing box 2 includes a first differential pressure contact 201, a common contact 202, and a second differential pressure contact 203. The common contact 202 is connected to the pressure diaphragm 105 in the middle through the insulating rod 4. When the medium pressure in the second medium channel 107 is high, the common contact 202 is pushed outward, that is, the common contact 202 contacts the second terminal 302. Similarly, when the medium pressure in the first medium channel 106 is high, the common contact 202 is pressed inward, that is, the common contact 202 contacts the first terminal 301. Through the above two switching, the pressure signal of the pressure test point can be reliably detected.
[0030] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the junction box 3 is located at the end of the contact fixing box 2 away from the switch body 1. The junction box 3 includes a terminal block 300, which includes a first terminal 301, a common terminal 303, and a second terminal 302. The first terminal 301 is connected to the first differential pressure contact 201, the common terminal 303 is connected to the common contact 202, and the second terminal 302 is connected to the second differential pressure contact 203. In this embodiment, a flexible insulated wire 204 connects the first terminal 301 to the first differential pressure contact 201, the common terminal 303 to the common contact 202, and the second terminal 302 to the second differential pressure contact 203.
[0031] In this embodiment, the junction box 3 also includes an explosion-proof cover. A second external thread 304 is provided at the end of the junction box 3 facing away from the contact fixing box 2, and the junction box 3 is threadedly connected to the explosion-proof cover via the second external thread 304. The junction box 3 also has a wire inlet 306, and an internal thread 305 is provided on the inner side of the wire inlet 306. The threaded connection increases the sealing performance. Therefore, this utility model, by designing an explosion-proof electrical junction box 3, expands the scope of application, avoids the need to find other complex differential pressure detection methods due to the differential pressure switch not being explosion-proof, and simplifies the process.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, the present invention mainly improves the internal structure of the switch body 1. A second medium inlet 102 is provided at the front end, and a first medium inlet 101 is provided on the side. The pressure element adopts a pressure diaphragm 105. When the side with higher pressure presses the pressure diaphragm 105, the insulating rod 4 connected to the pressure diaphragm 105 moves with the common contact 202. Finally, the common end 303 touches the first terminal 301 or the second terminal 302, conducts the external active signal, and realizes the signal output.
[0033] By replacing the electrical components with passive contacts, only an external active signal needs to be connected. After the differential pressure is converted by the pressure diaphragm 105, the common contact 202 is connected to either the first differential pressure contact 201 or the second differential pressure contact 203, thereby providing a differential pressure signal. This improves the electrical output quality of this invention, reduces the output failure rate, and thus improves the operating efficiency of the equipment.
[0034] When this utility model is screwed into the position to be detected through the first external thread 104, the pressure of the first medium inlet 101 and the pressure of the second medium inlet 102 enter the pressure medium respectively. The pressure medium generates a pressure difference at the pressure diaphragm 105. The pressure diaphragm 105 drives the common contact 202 to move outward or inward to the right, thereby connecting the first differential pressure contact 201 and the common contact 202, or connecting the second differential pressure contact 203 and the common contact 202, and thus providing a differential pressure signal to the control system.
[0035] As can be seen, the dual-inlet differential pressure switch of this utility model has a stable pressure detection signal output, improves the electrical output quality, reduces the output failure rate, and improves the operating efficiency of the equipment. It can be applied to a variety of environments and also has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and easy implementation.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications or improvements to the same dual-inlet differential pressure switch structure made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
