Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to liquid level sensors, specifically to a liquid level sensor that prevents mud blockage. Background Technology
[0002] Liquid level sensors are used to detect the liquid level in storage containers. They are typically used in conjunction with control devices such as solenoid valves to control changes in the liquid interface inside the storage container.
[0003] Some equipment, such as water pumps, is equipped with level sensors to protect the equipment from damage caused by running it unloaded. However, during actual operation, mud can accumulate on the sensor's detection end, reducing its sensitivity or causing false readings. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a liquid level sensor that prevents mud blockage, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A level sensor for preventing mud blockage includes a probe rod, the outer wall of which is inserted with plug rings arranged in a linear array, and the outer walls of the plug rings are fixedly installed with a plurality of shielding plates arranged in a circumferential array, with a predetermined gap between two adjacent shielding plates to form a flow channel.
[0007] It also includes non-woven geotextiles, which are wrapped around the outside of multiple shielding panels.
[0008] Preferably, the plug ring is a plastic part, and its inner wall is fixedly provided with protrusions arranged in a circumferential array, with every two protrusions forming a water passage gap.
[0009] Preferably, the number of the plug-in rings is not less than three.
[0010] Preferably, the sidewall of the plug ring is fixedly provided with an extension, and the extensions coaxially distributed on the three plug rings are connected to the shielding plate as a whole.
[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the shielding plate are respectively provided with inclined portions extending toward the probe rod, and the length of the inclined portions is 2mm-3mm.
[0012] Preferably, the inclined portions are inclinedly distributed, and the inclined portions between two adjacent shielding plates are funnel structures, the funnel structure having a narrow opening and a wide opening, the narrow opening being adjacent to the probe rod.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the liquid level sensor provided by this utility model for preventing mud blockage has the following beneficial effects: mud and sand are blocked by non-woven geotextile, and then liquid penetrates into the interior of non-woven geotextile. Then, the liquid enters through the flow channel, so that the liquid level is detected by the probe rod, thereby solving the problem that mud will cover the detection end of the liquid level sensor, causing the detection sensitivity to decrease or misjudgment.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a level sensor for preventing mud blockage includes a probe rod 1. The outer wall of the probe rod 1 is inserted with a linear array of insertion rings 2. The outer walls of the multiple insertion rings 2 are fixedly installed with multiple shielding plates 3 arranged in a circular array, and there is a predetermined gap between two adjacent shielding plates 3 to form a flow channel 4.
[0023] It also includes non-woven geotextile 7, which is wrapped around the outside of multiple shielding panels 3.
[0024] Specifically, the non-woven geotextile 7 wraps around multiple shielding plates 3. The non-woven geotextile 7 is cylindrical, with one end open and the other end closed. The plug-in ring 2 and the shielding plate 3 are both plastic parts.
[0025] The number of the aforementioned plug-in ring 2 shall not be less than three.
[0026] In the above technology, the mud and sand are blocked by the non-woven geotextile 7, and then the liquid penetrates into the interior of the non-woven geotextile 7. The liquid then enters through the flow channel 4, so that the liquid level is detected by the probe 1. This solves the problem that mud will cover the detection end of the liquid level sensor, causing a decrease in detection sensitivity or misjudgment.
[0027] As a further embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the plug-in ring 2 is specifically a plastic part, and its inner wall is fixedly provided with protrusions 21 distributed in a circumferential array, with every two protrusions 21 forming a water passage gap 22.
[0028] Specifically, the water gap 22 contacts the side wall of the probe rod 1. When the liquid enters the non-woven geotextile 7, it contacts the insertion ring 2 during the liquid rise. Then, because of the water gap 22, the probe rod 1 can normally detect the height of the liquid that has entered.
[0029] As a further embodiment of this utility model, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the plug ring 2 is fixedly provided with an extension 5, and the extensions 5 coaxially distributed on the three plug rings 2 are connected to the baffle plate 3 as a whole.
[0030] Specifically, the purpose of the extension 5 is to maintain a predetermined distance between the shielding plate 3 and the probe 1.
[0031] As another embodiment further provided by this utility model, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the shielding plate 3 are respectively provided with inclined portions 6 extending toward the probe rod 1, and the length of the inclined portions 6 is 2mm-3mm.
[0032] Furthermore, the inclined portion 6 is inclinedly distributed, and the inclined portion 6 between two adjacent shielding plates 3 is a funnel structure with a narrow opening and a wide opening, the narrow opening being adjacent to the probe rod 1.
[0033] Specifically, the liquid entering the interior through the nonwoven geotextile 7 will pass through the funnel structure, i.e., the flow channel 4, and enter the area between the baffle plate 3 and the probe 1. It should be noted that there will be a certain error between the liquid level inside and outside the nonwoven geotextile 7 in this embodiment, but this error is acceptable during the detection process of the probe 1.
[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
