AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Because the float is in constant contact with corrosive liquids, the position sensor is easily damaged, making it difficult to transmit information about excessively high or low liquid levels to the controller. As a result, it is not easy to trigger an alarm, and operators cannot issue an alarm in time, making it difficult to remind operators of abnormal liquid levels.

Method used

The system employs a float and a float plate in conjunction with a trapezoidal slider structure. By triggering a horn alarm in the liquid storage tank when it is far from the liquid area, the position sensor is prevented from being damaged. The horn alarm is triggered by directly squeezing the slider, and the valve is opened to replenish the liquid via a rack and pinion system.

Benefits of technology

It enables timely triggering of liquid level alarms even when the position sensor is damaged, reducing alarm failures caused by sensor damage, ensuring timely alerts for abnormal liquid levels, and preventing low liquid levels from affecting equipment operation through automatic liquid replenishment.

[0024] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a high / low liquid level alarm device for a storage tank includes a storage tank 1 for storing liquid. The storage tank 1 is provided with a tank cover 2 for sealing the storage tank 1, which is connected to the storage tank 1 by a cross screw. The contact surface between the two is provided with a sealing element, such as a sealing ring. The top of the storage tank 1 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 3 for inputting liquid into the storage tank 1. The bottom of the storage tank 1 is connected to a drain pipe 4 for draining liquid from the storage tank 1. A float rod 5 slides through the inside of the tank cover 2 and moves up and down with changes in liquid level. A float plate 6 is installed at one end of the float rod 5 inside the drain pipe 4. The outer diameter of the float plate 6 fits the inner diameter of the storage tank 1 and moves up and down with changes in liquid level, driving the float rod 5 to move.

[0027] An alarm assembly is installed on the liquid storage tank 1 and is used in conjunction with the float 6 and the float 5.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the alarm assembly includes a first trapezoidal slider 7, a horn 8, and a support frame 10. The first trapezoidal slider 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the float 5 away from the float plate 6. The horn 8 and the support frame 10 are respectively installed on the can lid 2. A start button 9 is provided on one side of the horn 8. The start button 9 is a common existing structure and has its own reset function. A push rod 11 slides through the support frame 10. One end of the push rod 11 is fixedly connected to a push plate 12 opposite to the position of the start button 9. The end of the push rod 11 away from the push plate 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 13. One end of the connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to a second trapezoidal slider 14.

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the alarm assembly also includes a chute 17 and a third trapezoidal slider 15. The chute 17 is opened inside the tank cover 2 and provides moving space for the connecting plate 13. The third trapezoidal slider 15 is fixed to one end of the float 5 near the float plate 6. A fourth trapezoidal slider 16 is fixed to one end of the connecting plate 13 away from the second trapezoidal slider 14. A baffle 18 is fixed to the middle of the connecting plate 13 and slidably connected to the inside of the chute 17. The baffle 18 is used to shield the chute 17 and reduce dust from entering the liquid storage tank 1.

[0031] During operation, liquid medium can be delivered into the storage tank 1 through the infusion pipe 3. During this process, the liquid pushes the float 5 and float plate 6 to move continuously towards the tank cover 2 due to buoyancy. When the liquid level reaches the preset upper limit value, the third trapezoidal slider 15 contacts the inclined surface of the fourth trapezoidal slider 16 and squeezes the fourth trapezoidal slider 16 to move continuously towards the horn 8. At the same time, it pushes the push rod 11 and push plate 12 to move towards the start button 9, presses the start button 9, and triggers the horn 8 to sound an alarm to remind the operator to pay attention to the abnormal liquid level.

[0032] When the liquid is discharged through the drain pipe 4 until the lower limit of the liquid level is reached, during this process, the float 5 and float plate 6 continue to move away from the tank cover 2 under the action of gravity, and the first trapezoidal slider 7 contacts the inclined surface of the second trapezoidal slider 14, and squeezes the fourth trapezoidal slider 16 to move continuously towards the horn 8. At the same time, it pushes the push rod 11 and push plate 12 to move towards the start button 9, presses the start button 9, and triggers the horn 8 to sound an alarm to remind the operator to pay attention to the abnormal liquid level.

[0033] The process described above, in which the horn 8 is triggered when the liquid level reaches the upper or lower limit, is carried out in an area of ​​the storage tank 1 that is far away from the liquid. This is to reduce the possibility that the horn 8 may fail to trigger when the position sensor is damaged, thus reducing the likelihood of the position sensor being damaged when the horn 8 is triggered in conjunction with the controller.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a connecting rod 19 is fixed to the float 5 away from the float plate 6. A rack 20 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 19. A filling pipe 21 is provided on one side of the top of the liquid storage tank 1. A valve 22 is provided on the filling pipe 21. A gear 23 that meshes with the rack 20 is installed at the handle of the valve 22.

[0036] During operation, when liquid is discharged through drain pipe 4 until the lower limit of liquid level is reached, rack 20 moves continuously away from tank cover 2 along with float 5, causing rack 20 to mesh with gear 23. During this process, the meshing drives gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives valve 22 to rotate and open valve 22, allowing liquid to enter the storage tank 1 through fill pipe 21, replenishing a certain volume of liquid into the storage tank 1 to reduce the impact of low liquid level in the storage tank 1 on the normal operation of equipment connected to and used with the storage tank 1.

[0037] As the filling pipe 21 replenishes the liquid inside the storage tank 1, when the liquid level drops below the lower limit, the float 5 moves continuously towards the tank cover 2 via the float plate 6, which in turn drives the gear 23 to rotate through the meshing of the rack 20, thereby closing the valve 22.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the float plate 6 has multiple sets of filter holes 24 on its edge. The end of the float plate 6 near the float rod 5 is connected to a float ring 25 that slides with the inner wall of the storage tank 1 to improve the stability of the float plate 6 sliding with the inner wall of the storage tank 1. An air bag 26 is installed at the end of the float plate 6 away from the float rod 5 to improve the buoyancy of the float plate 6.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1 is equipped with a rubber pad to improve the stability of the device when it is placed on the ground.

[0041] During operation, the liquid inside the storage tank 1 can be simply filtered through the filter hole 24. At the same time, the tank cover 2 can be opened by removing the Phillips screw with a screwdriver, and the impurities intercepted on the float plate 6 can be removed.

[0042] The utility model provides a kind of practical new use process as follows: liquid medium can be transported to the inside of storage tank 1 by infusion tube 3, in this process, liquid is continuously moved by buoyancy to the direction close to tank cover 2 by float rod 5 and float plate 6, when liquid level reaches preset upper limit value, third trapezoidal slider 15 and fourth trapezoidal slider 16 are contacted by inclined surface at this time, and fourth trapezoidal slider 16 is continuously moved to the direction of horn 8 by extrusion, simultaneously push rod 11 and push plate 12 are moved to the direction of start button 9 by pushing, start button 9 is pressed, and horn 8 is triggered to alarm, to remind operator to pay attention to liquid level anomaly, when liquid is discharged by liquid discharge pipe 4, until reaching lower limit value of liquid level, in this process, float rod 5 and float plate 6 are continuously moved to the direction away from tank cover 2 by gravity, and first trapezoidal slider 7 and second trapezoidal slider 14 are contacted by inclined surface, and fourth trapezoidal slider 16 is continuously moved to the direction of horn 8 by extrusion, simultaneously push rod 11 and push plate 12 are moved to the direction of start button 9 by pushing, start button 9 is pressed, and horn 8 is triggered to alarm, to remind operator to pay attention to liquid level anomaly.

[0043] The above disclosed preferred embodiments of the utility model are only used to help the description of the utility model. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details, and the utility model is not limited to the specific implementation described. Obviously, according to the content of the specification, many modifications and changes can be made.
