[0002] Electric contact level gauges utilize the principle of communicating vessels to reflect the water level in the steam drum into the measuring cylinder. By using the difference in conductivity between steam and water through electrodes installed inside the measuring cylinder, different red and green lights are illuminated to indicate the water level in the steam drum. The top of the electrode of the steam drum electric contact level gauge is generally a threaded rod. Under high temperature, high pressure, and long-term scouring, it is very common for the electrode to puncture and leak. Therefore, the electrode needs to be replaced. Electrode replacement involves high temperature and high pressure operations, and the threaded rod at the top of the electrode may break inside the electrode base. Ordinary disassembly tools cannot disassemble the electrode.

[0003] Existing technologies for disassembling electrodes for steam drum electric contact level gauges require cutting off the base or destructive removal, which is dangerous and labor-intensive. The practicality and durability of these tools need improvement, and there is a lack of convenient electrode disassembly tools. Furthermore, a utility model patent with publication number CN219882369U discloses an electrode disassembly tool, relating to the field of disassembly tool technology. This tool includes a handle, a fixed wheel, and a movable electrode sleeve. The fixed wheel is fixed to the end of the handle, and the movable electrode sleeve has an electrode hole and is rotatably mounted on the fixed wheel. However, this method is not convenient for disassembling the electrodes of steam drum electric contact level gauges, and its practicality and durability need improvement. There is a lack of convenient and stable electrode disassembly tools. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] This embodiment involves inserting a disassembly tool into the electrode base of the steam drum electric contact level gauge. The threaded connector at the top of the electrode can be connected via a disassembly sleeve at the bottom of the disassembly rod. After connecting to the rotating electrode, it can be fixed in place. The motor can then be pulled out of the electrode base using the disassembly tool, thus achieving electrode disassembly. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly facilitating electrode disassembly for workers. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tool for disassembling the electrode of a steam drum electric contact level gauge includes a disassembly rod 1, a handle 2, and a disassembly sleeve 5. The handle 2 is installed at the top of the disassembly rod 1, and a telescopic rod 4 is provided at the bottom of the disassembly rod 1. The bottom of the telescopic rod 4 is connected to the disassembly sleeve 5, and the disassembly sleeve 5 has a disassembly groove 7 that matches the electrode of the steam drum electric contact level gauge. The disassembly tool is inserted into the electrode base of the steam drum electric contact level gauge. The threaded connector at the top of the electrode can be connected through the disassembly sleeve 5 at the bottom of the disassembly rod 1. After rotating and connecting with the electrode, it can be fixed to the electrode. Then, the disassembly tool can be used to pull the motor out of the electrode base of the steam drum electric contact level gauge, thereby realizing the disassembly of the electrode. The operation is simple and convenient, providing great convenience for workers to disassemble the electrode.

[0032] The inner wall of the disassembly groove 7 has an internal thread 9, which is matched with the top screw of the steam drum electric contact level gauge electrode. The internal thread 9 enables the disassembly groove 7 to be threadedly connected to the threaded connector on the top of the electrode.

[0033] The outer diameter of the disassembly rod 1 and the disassembly sleeve 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the electrode placement groove on the electrode base of the steam drum electric contact level gauge. The disassembly rod 1 and the disassembly sleeve 5 can be inserted into the electrode placement groove, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the disassembly sleeve 5 to the electrode.

[0034] A buffer pad 8 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the disassembly groove 7. The buffer pad 8 forms a buffer protection space inside the disassembly groove 7 to prevent damage caused by squeezing when the tool comes into contact with the electrode.

[0035] Cylindrical handles 2 are attached to both sides of the top of the disassembly rod 1, and anti-slip sleeves 6 are provided on each handle 2. The handles 2 make it easier for workers to grip the tool, and the anti-slip sleeves 6 improve the anti-slip effect during gripping, making the tool easier to use.

[0036] The disassembly sleeve 5 is connected to the movable end at the bottom of the telescopic rod 4, and can move the disassembly sleeve 5 up and down along the length of the disassembly rod 1. A shim 3 is provided in the middle of the disassembly rod 1, and the shim 3 is larger than the inner diameter of the electrode placement groove. The disassembly rod 1 of the disassembly tool is equipped with a telescopic rod 4, which can be adjusted in length as needed to increase the insertion depth of the tool and match different steam drum electric contact water level gauge electrode bases, increasing the applicability of the tool and further improving the practicality of the disassembly tool. By using the shim 3 in the middle of the disassembly rod 1, the position of the upper part of the disassembly rod 1 of the disassembly tool can be restricted, limiting it to above the electrode disassembly inlet of the electrode base.

[0037] The outer surfaces of the disassembly rod 1 and the disassembly sleeve 5 are provided with an insulating coating 10. The insulating coating 10 on the disassembly sleeve 5 can improve its insulation performance and prevent leakage and electric shock.

[0038] The disassembly sleeve 5 has an internal reinforcing layer 11. The reinforcing layer 11 improves the overall strength of the disassembly sleeve 5, making it less prone to breakage and damage, and extending its service life.

[0039] The disassembly rod 1, handle 2, and disassembly sleeve 5 are all made of stainless steel.

[0040] The inner wall of the disassembly groove 7 is provided with a wear-resistant coating 12. The wear-resistant coating 12 can improve the wear resistance of the disassembly groove 7 and improve its durability.

[0041] Working principle: The disassembly tool is inserted into the electrode base of the steam drum electric contact level gauge. The threaded connector at the top of the electrode can be connected via the disassembly sleeve at the bottom of the disassembly rod. After connecting to the rotating electrode, it can be fixed in place. Then, the motor can be pulled out of the electrode base using the disassembly tool, thus disassembling the electrode. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly facilitating electrode disassembly for workers. The disassembly rod of the disassembly tool is equipped with a telescopic rod, allowing for length adjustment to increase the tool's insertion depth and accommodate different steam drum electric contact level gauge electrode bases, increasing the tool's applicability and further enhancing its practicality. An insulating coating on the disassembly sleeve improves its insulation performance, preventing leakage and electric shock. A gasket in the middle of the disassembly rod restricts the position of the upper part of the disassembly rod, limiting it to above the electrode disassembly inlet of the electrode base.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
