TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model embodiment relates to aquatic product breeding equipment technical field, especially a kind of residual liquid quantity measurement structure and liquid spraying device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquid spraying device is a kind of electric mechanical device for atomizing and spraying liquid in water tank, which is widely used in aquatic product breeding, agriculture, environmental protection and other fields, such as spraying water quality modifier into pond. Liquid spraying device is usually composed of water tank, water pump, nozzle and power supply, and liquid is sprayed out of water tank through nozzle by driving water pump when spraying.
[0003] In the spraying process of liquid spraying device, the spraying speed is often adjusted according to the operation requirement to realize uniform spraying in target spraying area. In order to realize uniform spraying, liquid spraying device needs to measure the residual water quantity in water tank in real time, and adjust the spraying speed in real time according to the residual water quantity and residual spraying area to avoid too fast or too slow spraying, which causes uneven spraying in different areas. The current liquid spraying device mainly measures the residual water quantity in water tank by the following three schemes.
[0004] Scheme one, manual judgment and adjustment
[0005] The most common spraying speed adjustment device is manually controlled, and the liquid spraying device using this scheme uses transparent or translucent water tank, and the operator can observe the residual water quantity in water tank at any time, and adjusts the spraying speed according to experience to realize more uniform spraying. This scheme needs experienced operators to adjust in real time, and cannot realize automatic liquid spraying. In addition, since the spraying quantity and spraying area of different spraying operations are also very different, manual judgment is still prone to inaccurate judgment.
[0006] Scheme two, weighing liquid spraying device
[0007] In order to measure the residual water quantity in water tank in real time to automatically adjust the spraying speed according to the residual water quantity, another scheme is to install electronic scale under water tank to weigh the residual water quantity in real time, and the residual water quantity in water tank can be obtained after deducting the weight of water tank, and the spraying speed can be adjusted according to the residual water quantity. This scheme can obtain more accurate residual water quantity, but has great limitation on use scene. The electronic scale needs to be installed horizontally on fixed plane, and cannot be disturbed by external force. For automatic spraying scene, such as device that needs to be carried or moved, there may not be suitable plane to install electronic scale and other weighing devices. In addition, installing weighing device outside water tank will lead to more complex structure and higher cost of liquid spraying device.
[0008] Scheme three, using flow meter to count water quantity
[0009] In order to measure the residual water in the water tank in real time, there is also a scheme of installing a flow meter on the water outlet pipe connected with the water pump. The scheme can measure the water flow through the water pipe in real time, and the total amount of the liquid that has been sprayed can be obtained by accumulation. If the total amount of water in the water tank is input in advance, the residual water in the water tank can be calculated. The scheme has a simple structure and is suitable for a wide range of scenes. However, the flow meter has a large cumulative error, and it is easy to cause blockage and large measurement error for turbid liquid, so the use scene is also greatly limited.

The outer size of the water tank 2 is fixed and known, and the specific outer shape of the water tank 2 can be set according to the actual situation. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the water tank 2 is a square water tank, which will be introduced below with the water tank 2 as a square water tank as an example.
[0044] The water tank 2 is used to hold the liquid to be sprayed, and the water tank 2 is provided with a water tank outlet at the bottom. The liquid in the water tank 2 can be discharged from the water tank outlet. The water tank outlet can be provided on the side wall of the water tank 2; the water tank outlet can also be provided on the bottom wall of the water tank 2. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the water tank 2 is provided with a downward water tank outlet on the bottom wall, which will be introduced below with the water tank outlet provided on the bottom wall of the water tank 2 as an example.

The liquid inlet 11 is located at the gas pressure measuring port 13, and the liquid outlet 12 is located at the rear side of the gas pressure measuring port 13. The liquid inlet 11 communicates with the bottom of the water tank 2, so that the liquid in the water tank 2 can enter the communication pipeline 1 from the liquid inlet 11. The gas pressure measuring port 13 is arranged in an up-down interval with the water tank 2, and the up-down interval between the gas pressure measuring port 13 and the water tank 2 is a preset interval value, that is, the setting position of the gas pressure measuring port 13 is fixed and known relative to the height of the water tank 2.
[0046] The communication pipeline 1 is provided with a driving pump 3, which can drive the liquid in the communication pipeline 1 to flow from the liquid inlet 11 to the liquid outlet 12. The driving pump 3 can be arranged between the liquid inlet 11 and the gas pressure measuring port 13, that is, the driving pump 3 is located at the front side of the gas pressure measuring port 13; the driving pump 3 can also be arranged between the liquid outlet 12 and the gas pressure measuring port 13, that is, the driving pump 3 is located at the rear side of the gas pressure measuring port 13. And when the liquid in the communication pipeline 1 does not flow, that is, the driving pump 3 does not work, the pipeline between the liquid inlet 11 and the gas pressure measuring port 13 is in a communication state (no closed valve can be arranged in the middle).
[0047] The communication pipeline 1 is provided with an opening and closing device 4, which is located between the liquid outlet 12 and the gas pressure measuring port 13, that is, the opening and closing device 4 is located at the rear side of the gas pressure measuring port 13. The opening and closing device 4 can open and close the pipeline at the rear side of the gas pressure measuring port 13.
[0048] The air pressure gauge 5 is located on the upper side of the air pressure measuring port 13, and the interface of the air pressure gauge 5 is communicated with the air pressure measuring port 13 through the air pipe 6, so that the U-shaped pipe communicating vessel structure is formed between the air pressure gauge 5 and the water tank 2, and then the liquid pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2 can be measured through the air pressure gauge 5. Since the liquid pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2 has a fixed ratio relationship with the depth of the liquid in the water tank 2, the depth of the remaining liquid in the water tank 2 can be calculated according to the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5, so that the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can be calculated through the air pressure gauge 5. The remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can be the remaining liquid depth of the water tank 2, and the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can also be the remaining liquid volume of the water tank 2. The remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 will be taken as an example to be introduced below.
[0049] After the depth of the remaining liquid in the water tank 2 is calculated according to the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5, since the size of the water tank 2 is known, the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can be calculated through the liquid pressure measured by the air pressure gauge 5.
[0050] The liquid inlet 11 of the communicating pipeline 1 in the remaining liquid amount measuring structure 100 is communicated with the bottom of the water tank 2, the air pressure measuring port 13 of the communicating pipeline 1 is communicated with the air pressure gauge 5 through the air pipe 6, so that the liquid pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2 can be measured through the air pressure gauge 5. Since the liquid pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2 has a fixed ratio relationship with the depth of the liquid in the water tank 2, the depth of the remaining liquid in the water tank 2 can be calculated according to the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5, so that the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can be calculated through the air pressure gauge 5, and no cumulative error is generated. The structure of the remaining liquid amount measuring structure 100 is simple, the implementation cost is low, the remaining liquid amount measuring structure 100 can be matched with any water tank 2, and the installation is flexible and does not require a special plane.
[0051] The specific shape of the air pipe 6 can be set according to the actual situation. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the air pipe 6 is arranged along the up-down direction, so that the structure of the air pipe 6 is simple.
[0052] The radial size of the air pipe 6 is smaller than the radial size of the communicating pipeline 1, so as to prevent the liquid in the communicating pipeline 1 from flowing into the air pressure gauge 5 through the air pipe 6. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the inner diameter of the air pipe 6 is not greater than 10 mm. The inner diameter of the air pipe 6 is less than or equal to 10 mm, which is beneficial to prevent the liquid in the communicating pipeline 1 from flowing into the air pressure gauge 5 through the air pipe 6.
[0053] The communicating pipeline 1 is provided with the air pressure measuring port 13. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1In the first embodiment, the communication pipeline 1 comprises a pipe joint 14, a liquid inlet pipeline 15, and a liquid outlet pipeline 16. The pipe joint 14 is provided with a joint inlet, a joint outlet, and a gas pressure measuring port 13. The joint inlet and the joint outlet are oppositely arranged in the horizontal direction. The gas pressure measuring port 13 is located between the joint inlet and the joint outlet. One end of the liquid inlet pipeline 15 is connected to the joint inlet. The liquid inlet pipeline 15 is provided with a liquid inlet 11 at the end away from the pipe joint 14. One end of the liquid outlet pipeline 16 is connected to the joint outlet. The liquid outlet pipeline 16 is provided with a liquid outlet 12 at the end away from the pipe joint 14. The liquid outlet pipeline 16 is provided with an opening and closing device 4.
[0054] Specifically, the distance between the pipe joint 14 and the water tank 2 in the vertical direction is a preset distance value. That is, the installation position of the pipe joint 14 is fixed relative to the height of the water tank 2 and is known. The pipe joint 14 is provided with a joint inlet and a joint outlet. The joint inlet and the joint outlet of the pipe joint 14 are oppositely arranged and are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The joint inlet of the pipe joint 14 is connected to the water tank outlet of the water tank 2 through the liquid inlet pipeline 15. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the liquid outlet pipeline 16 is provided with a nozzle 7 at the end away from the pipe joint 14 to form the liquid outlet 12. In this way, the liquid in the water tank 2 can flow through the water tank outlet, the liquid inlet pipeline 15, the pipe joint 14, the liquid outlet pipeline 16, and the nozzle 7 in sequence, so that the liquid is sprayed from the nozzle 7.
[0055] The pipe joint 14 is provided with a gas pressure measuring port 13. The gas pressure measuring port 13 is upwardly arranged and located between the joint inlet and the joint outlet. The diameter of the gas pressure measuring port 13 is generally smaller than the diameters of the joint inlet and the joint outlet. The gas pressure measuring port 13 is located on one side of the water tank 2 in the horizontal direction. In the following, the communication pipeline 1 comprising the pipe joint 14, the liquid inlet pipeline 15, and the liquid outlet pipeline 16 will be introduced.
[0056] The pipe joint 14 has at least three openings, including the joint inlet, the joint outlet, and the gas pressure measuring port 13. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the pipe joint 14 is a three-way pipe joint.
[0057] The specific shape of the pipe joint 14 can be set according to actual conditions. Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the pipe joint 14 comprises a horizontal pipeline and a vertical pipeline. The horizontal pipeline extends along the horizontal direction. The two ends of the horizontal pipeline are provided with the joint inlet and the joint outlet, respectively. The vertical pipeline extends along the vertical direction. The lower end of the vertical pipeline is connected to the middle part of the horizontal pipeline. The upper end of the vertical pipeline is provided with the gas pressure measuring port 13.
[0058] Specifically, the horizontal pipe is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the vertical pipe, and the horizontal pipe is located at the lower side of the water tank 2, and the pipe joint 14 is arranged in such a manner that the structure of the pipe joint 14 is simple.
[0059] Optionally, referring to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the residual liquid amount measuring structure 100 further comprises a master control circuit (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the air pressure gauge 5, and the master control circuit is used to calculate the residual liquid amount of the water tank 2 according to the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5.
[0060] Specifically, the air pressure gauge 5 can be electrically connected to the master control circuit through a wired or wireless manner, for example, the air pressure gauge 5 is connected to the master control circuit through a signal line, and the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5 can be read by the master control circuit, so that the master control circuit can calculate the residual liquid amount of the water tank 2 according to the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5.
[0061] The communication pipe 1 is provided with an opening and closing device 4, and the opening and closing device 4 can close the pipe on the rear side of the air pressure measuring port 13. The opening and closing device 4 can be arranged in various manners, and optionally, referring to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the driving pump 3 is located between the liquid inlet port 11 and the air pressure measuring port 13, and the opening and closing device 4 is an electromagnetic valve 4a.
[0062] Specifically, the driving pump 3 is arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 15, and the driving pump 3 is located on the front side of the air pressure measuring port 13. The driving pump 3 can be a water pump or the like. When the driving pump 3 is not working, the liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 15 can also pass through the driving pump 3. Therefore, when the driving pump 3 is not working, the pipe between the air pressure measuring port 13 and the bottom of the water tank 2 is in a communication state, so as to ensure that the liquid pressure at the air pressure measuring port 13 is consistent with the liquid pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2.
[0063] The electromagnetic valve 4a is arranged on the liquid outlet pipe 16, and the electromagnetic valve 4a can open and close the liquid outlet pipe 16. Therefore, the electromagnetic valve 4a forms the opening and closing device 4.
[0064] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 In the second embodiment, or referring to Figure 3 In the third embodiment, the driving pump 3 is a self-priming pump, and the self-priming pump is located between the liquid outlet port 12 and the air pressure measuring port 13, and the self-priming pump forms the opening and closing device 4.
[0065] Specifically, the driving pump 3 is arranged on the liquid outlet pipe 16, and the driving pump 3 is a self-priming pump that does not leak water when not working, that is, when the driving pump 3 is not working, the liquid in the liquid outlet pipe 16 cannot pass through the driving pump 3. The self-priming pump can open and close the liquid outlet pipe 16, and therefore the self-priming pump forms the opening and closing device 4. The self-priming pump can be a diaphragm pump or the like.
[0066] The pipe joint 14 is arranged vertically spaced apart from the water tank 2. Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, or please refer to Figure 2 In the second embodiment, the pipe joint 14 is located at the lower side of the water tank 2.
[0067] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 In the third embodiment, the pipe joint 14 is located at the upper side of the water tank 2.
[0068] The main control circuit is electrically connected to the driving pump 3 and / or the opening and closing device 4, so that the operation of the driving pump 3 and / or the opening and closing device 4 can be controlled by the main control circuit.
[0069] Specifically, when the opening and closing device 4 is the electromagnetic valve 4a, the operation of the driving pump 3 and / or the electromagnetic valve 4a can be controlled by the main control circuit; when the opening and closing device 4 is the self-priming pump (i.e. the driving pump 3), the operation of the driving pump 3 can be controlled by the main control circuit. Hereinafter, the operation of the driving pump 3 and the electromagnetic valve 4a controlled by the main control circuit will be introduced as an example, with the opening and closing device 4 being the electromagnetic valve 4a.
[0070] When the water tank 2 does not contain the liquid to be sprayed, the entire pipeline is in communication with the atmosphere, and at this time the measurement value of the barometer 5 is the standard atmospheric pressure. When the water tank 2 contains the liquid to be sprayed and no spraying is performed, the electromagnetic valve 4a (i.e. the opening and closing device 4) is closed, the pipeline will be filled with the liquid in the water tank 2, and the air pressure in the air pipe 6 will be balanced with the hydraulic pressure in the water tank 2, so the measurement value of the barometer 5 will be equal to the hydraulic pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2. Since there is a fixed ratio relationship between the hydraulic pressure at the bottom of the water tank 2 and the depth of the liquid in the water tank 2, the depth of the remaining liquid in the water tank 2 can be calculated by the measurement value of the barometer 5. Since the outer dimensions of the water tank 2 are known, the remaining liquid volume of the water tank 2 can be calculated by the measurement value of the barometer 5.
[0071] The main control circuit is used to determine the working state of the driving pump 3 and / or the opening and closing device 4 according to the measurement value of the barometer 5.
[0072] Specifically, when the opening and closing device 4 is the electromagnetic valve 4a, the working state of the driving pump 3 and / or the electromagnetic valve 4a can be determined by the main control circuit according to the measurement value of the barometer 5; when the opening and closing device 4 is the self-priming pump (i.e. the driving pump 3), the working state of the driving pump 3 can be determined by the main control circuit according to the measurement value of the barometer 5. Hereinafter, the working state of the driving pump 3 and the electromagnetic valve 4a determined by the main control circuit according to the measurement value of the barometer 5 will be introduced as an example, with the opening and closing device 4 being the electromagnetic valve 4a.
[0073] Specifically, if the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5 rises by more than the first threshold value when the liquid spraying device is started, it is determined that the water pump 51a is normal; if the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5 rises by less than the first threshold value when the liquid spraying device is started, it is determined that the water pump 51a is faulty.
[0074] If the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5 drops by more than the second threshold value after the liquid spraying device is started for a preset length of time, it is determined that the electromagnetic valve 4a is normal; if the measurement value of the air pressure gauge 5 drops by less than the second threshold value after the liquid spraying device is started for a preset length of time, it is determined that the electromagnetic valve 4a is faulty.
[0075] When the liquid spraying device starts to work, the driving pump 3 is opened before the electromagnetic valve 4a, at which time the hydraulic pressure in the pipeline will rise, and after a delay, the electromagnetic valve 4a will also be opened, at which time the hydraulic pressure in the pipeline will drop. During the starting stage of the liquid spraying device, the air pressure measured by the air pressure gauge 5 rises and then drops obviously, and the change in the air pressure can be used to determine whether the driving pump 3 and the electromagnetic valve 4a are faulty. For example, if the hydraulic pressure does not rise after the liquid spraying device is started, and the hydraulic pressure also does not drop after a preset length of time (the normal opening delay of the electromagnetic valve 4a), it indicates that both the driving pump 3 and the electromagnetic valve 4a are faulty; if the hydraulic pressure rises and then does not drop obviously within the preset length of time, it indicates that the electromagnetic valve 4a is damaged and cannot be opened. If the hydraulic pressure does not rise after the liquid spraying device is started, but the hydraulic pressure drops after a period of time (the normal opening delay of the electromagnetic valve 4a), it indicates that the electromagnetic valve 4a is normal, but the driving pump 3 is faulty. If the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 needs to be measured during the spraying process, the electromagnetic valve 4a and the driving pump 3 can be closed, the air pressure is measured by the air pressure gauge 5 once, and then the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can be calculated.
[0076] The remaining liquid amount measurement structure 100 can flexibly measure the depth of the remaining liquid in the water tank 2, and the remaining liquid amount of the water tank 2 can be calculated by the depth.
