[0002] Liquid level measurement plays a vital role in modern industrial production and daily life. In numerous industries such as chemical, petroleum, food processing, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals, accurately measuring the liquid level within containers is a key factor in ensuring safe and efficient production processes and stable product quality. Specifically, the processing of the float support ring for liquid level gauges requires the use of a double-column press with a mold.

[0003] As shown in the prior art published in CN221773273U, although this prior art uses a support device to move the upper mold and punch downwards, allowing the upper mold to first press and fix the edge of the raw material, and then the punch moves downwards to cooperate with the through hole to punch a hole in the middle of the raw material, with the punched waste falling down through the through hole, thus separating the formed support ring from the waste, reducing the complexity of manually collecting the waste and improving work efficiency, and using multiple sets of push rods to push the formed support ring upwards, improving the convenience of collecting the support ring from the top of the lower mold, this prior art requires the operator to reach into the workpiece processing area when retrieving the material. The processing area has a relatively complex structure and a narrow space, making it inconvenient to retrieve the material, and accidents involving the equipment can easily cause harm to the operator, thus affecting the operator's operational safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides a machining fixture for a level gauge float support ring. The workpiece is limited by a top ring shell and a pressure ring shell, and the top ring shell and pressure ring shell are fixed to a suitable machining position by means of a threaded connection between a support column on a connecting rod and a support base. Subsequently, the workpiece is pushed to the material table by the rebound force of a spring. This improves the ease of material handling, reduces contact with the mold assembly, and enhances operational safety, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a machining fixture for a level gauge float support ring, including a module assembly installed on the top of a support platform for machining the level gauge float support ring;

[0010] A handle is installed at the front end of the support column.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the mold assembly includes a mounting bracket mounted on the top of the support platform, and the mounting bracket is sleeved outside the top ring shell and the pressure ring shell. The mounting bracket is provided with an upper mold and a lower mold inside, the upper mold is located on top of the lower mold, and a cylinder for adjusting the height of the upper mold is mounted on the top of the mounting bracket.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5This utility model provides a machining fixture for a level gauge float support ring, including a mold assembly installed on the top of a support platform 1 for machining the level gauge float support ring; the mold assembly includes a mounting frame 11 installed on the top of the support platform 1, and the mounting frame 11 is sleeved on the outside of the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7. The mounting frame 11 has an upper mold 12 and a lower mold 13 inside, the upper mold 12 is located on top of the lower mold 13, and a cylinder 14 for adjusting the height of the upper mold 12 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 11; the lower mold 13 is installed on the top of the support platform 1, and a communicating object hole 15 and a material hole 16 are opened on the outside of the top of the lower mold 13, the material hole 16 is located at the bottom of the object hole 15, the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7 are both located inside the object hole 15, and the material hole 16 is located between the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7.

[0027] When in use, the operator starts the cylinder 14 and pushes the upper mold 12 down so that the upper mold 12 contacts the lower mold 13. The upper mold 12 then processes the workpiece on the lower mold 13 into a float support ring. Excess waste generated during the processing is discharged through the material hole 16, which facilitates the subsequent collection of waste.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the module assembly is externally equipped with a material-retrieving component for enhanced safety. The material-retrieving component includes a fixed seat 2 and a support seat 3 respectively installed on the top of the front and rear ends of the support platform 1. The fixed seat 2 is located on the rear side of the support seat 3. The front side of the fixed seat 2 is provided with a top ring shell 4, and two telescopic rods 5 for connecting the fixed seat 2 are installed on the rear side of the top ring shell 4. A spring 6 is sleeved on the front end of the telescopic rod 5. The front side of the top ring shell 4 is provided with a pressure ring shell 7. A connecting rod 8 is installed on the front side of the pressure ring shell 7 through a bearing. The front end of the connecting rod 8 is provided with a positioning component for fixing the pressure ring shell 7. The positioning component includes a support column 9 installed on the front end of the connecting rod 8. The front end of the support column 9 passes through the support seat 3 and extends to the outside of the front end of the support seat 3. The support column 9 is threadedly connected to the support seat 3. A handle 10 is installed on the front end of the support column 9. A material platform 17 is provided on the rear side of the support seat 3, and the bottom end of the material platform 17 is fixed together with the top of the support platform 1.

[0029] In use, the operator holds the handle 10 and rotates the support column 9, which is threadedly connected to the support base 3, causing the support column 9 to move forward and separate from the support base 3. This allows the pressure ring shell 7 and the top ring shell 4 to move forward to the front of the mold assembly by the rebound force of the spring 6. Then, the operator pulls the pressure ring shell 7 outward to place the workpiece between the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7. Subsequently, the operator pushes the operating linkage 8 to push the pressure ring shell 7 and the top ring shell 4 backward to the lower mold 13. When the support column 9 contacts the support base 3, the operator rotates the threaded connection between the support column 9 and the support base 3 to achieve the effect of limiting the position of the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during processing, thereby achieving the effect of accurately preparing the float support ring.

[0030] During processing, the cylinder 14 drives the upper mold 12 to move down and contact the lower mold 13, so that the upper mold 12 can process the workpiece, while the excess waste material of the workpiece is discharged through the material hole 16.

[0031] After processing is completed, the workers repeat the above process, rotating the support column 9 which is threaded to the support base 3, so that the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7 are not restricted in their position, and are moved to the material table 17 by the rebound force of the spring 6. This can improve the convenience of material picking, reduce contact with the mold components, and improve operational safety.

[0032] To ensure that the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7 are accurately displaced to the appropriate positions, the displacement of the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7 needs to be limited, such as... Figure 3 and 5 As shown, a top plate 22 is installed on the front side of the fixed base 2. The top plate 22 is located between the two telescopic rods 5, and the front end of the top plate 22 contacts the rear side of the top ring shell 4.

[0033] In use, the contact between the top plate 22 and the top ring shell 4 allows the top plate 22 to limit the extreme displacement of the top ring shell 4, thereby ensuring that the top ring shell 4 and the pressure ring shell 7 can be displaced to a suitable position, thus ensuring the machining accuracy of the float support ring.

[0034] At the same time, in order to facilitate the processing of excess waste from the workpieces, it is necessary to collect the waste in a centralized manner, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, a horizontal plate 18 is provided on the bottom of the support platform 1 corresponding to the side of the lower mold 13, and vertical plates 19 for connecting the support platform 1 are installed on the top of both the front and rear ends of the horizontal plate 18. A slag collection box 20 is provided between the two vertical plates 19, and the slag collection box 20 is located on the top of the horizontal plate 18. A through hole 21 is provided on the top of the support platform 1 corresponding to the side of the material hole 16, and the position of the through hole 21 and the slag collection box 20 are vertically aligned.

[0035] In use, the through hole 21 corresponds to the material hole 16, allowing excess waste discharged through the material hole 16 to fall directly into the slag collection box 20, thereby achieving centralized collection of waste and improving the convenience of waste handling for staff.

[0036] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
