[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] A drilling mud liquid level monitoring system, as shown in Figures 1-4 , comprising:

[0035] A drilling mud liquid level alarm 1 assembled on a mud tank, the drilling mud liquid level alarm 1 comprising a float 101, a float vertical rod 102, a guide plate 103, a stroke rod 104 and a top box 105, the float vertical rod 102 being connected with the float 101 at the bottom end and connected with the guide plate 103 at the top end, the guide plate 103 being slidingly assembled on the stroke rod 104, the stroke rod 104 being arranged in parallel with the float vertical rod 102, the top of the stroke rod 104 being assembled in the top box 105 and connected with a pneumatic alarm device;

[0036] A displacement sensor 2 assembled in the top box 105 and connected with the guide plate 103 to detect the height data of the guide plate 103;

[0037] A data monitoring terminal 3 assembled in the top box 105 and in communication connection with the displacement sensor 2 to collect the height data detected by the displacement sensor 2;

[0038] A data display terminal 4 in wireless communication connection with the data monitoring terminal 3, obtaining the drilling mud liquid level data in the mud tank by using the detected height data and displaying and alarming.

[0039] In this embodiment, the data monitoring terminal 3 can be a conventional data acquisition module, and the data display terminal 4 can be a conventional computer. On the drilling mud level alarm 1, a displacement sensor 2 (pulling rope sensor) is installed, the displacement data is collected to the data monitoring terminal 3 through the RS485 interface, all data is sent to the explosion-proof data display terminal 4 through the wireless LORA / WIFI network by the data monitoring terminal 3, remote monitoring is realized, and the explosion-proof data display terminal converts the displacement data into liquid level and volume data. Real-time data display, storage, alarm and other functions are realized. The explosion-proof data display terminal can output data to a third-party system.

[0040] Displacement sensor corresponding volume principle:

[0041] The data collected by the displacement sensor is length data, that is, how many meters, corresponding to the liquid level height of 0 to 2 meters, the system can set the volume lower limit to 0 cubic meters and the volume upper limit to 100 cubic meters, 0-2 meters corresponding to 0-100 square, when the liquid level height is 1 meter, the corresponding volume after conversion is 50 cubic meters, the system increases the multi-point calibration function, that is, the height data of the 0 square volume scale is marked as zero point, and the height data of the full range of the volume scale is marked as full range.

[0042] For example: 0 square corresponds to a height of 0.5 meters, and 100 square full range corresponds to a height of 2.5 meters, so when the collected height is 1.5 meters, the corresponding volume is 50 square. The system does linear processing on the data. In order to ensure its accuracy, multi-point data calibration of volume and height can be performed.

[0043] Only the conversion formula of zero point and range is as follows:

[0044] L: collected liquid level height

[0045] L_min: liquid level zero point

[0046] L_max: liquid level full range

[0047] Q: actual volume

[0048] Q_min: volume scale zero point

[0049] Q_max: volume scale full range

[0050] Q=(Q_max-Q_min)*(L-L_min) / (L_max-L_min)

[0051] The multi-point calibration formula is the same, which belongs to multi-section calibration, as follows:

[0052]

[0053] For example Figure 1As shown in the figure, the top box 105 is equipped with an audible and visual alarm 5, which is wirelessly connected with the data display terminal 4.
