Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic monitoring technology, and in particular to a monitoring device based on the principle of connecting pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Monitoring equipment based on the principle of connecting pipes has a wide range of applications. However, the surrounding environment of different monitoring structures varies, making it difficult to standardize the installation position and height of the liquid storage tank. This makes it impossible to accurately determine the liquid level from the monitoring data. To avoid the accuracy of the relative settlement data of each structure being affected by insufficient liquid in the liquid storage tank, the operation and maintenance unit needs to perform irregular maintenance on the liquid storage tank. The leakage and evaporation rates of liquids for different monitoring items vary greatly, resulting in significant differences in maintenance cycles. It is difficult to accurately grasp the optimal time for operation and maintenance, which can easily lead to problems such as untimely maintenance or waste of human resources. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the liquid storage tank is provided with a transparent plate, which corresponds to the position of the bubble detector.
[0009] Furthermore, a reference point and several detection points are set in the measurement area. The reference point and several detection points are distributed side by side. The several detection points are located on the side of the reference point away from the liquid storage tank. The reference point and several detection points are all equipped with the hydrostatic level.
[0010] Furthermore, the storage tank is equipped with a transceiver control terminal, and the radar level gauge, the bubble monitoring mechanism, and the hydrostatic level are all wirelessly connected to the remote terminal through the transceiver control terminal.

[0019] A monitoring device based on the principle of communicating vessels, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a storage tank 1, a monitoring component 2, a measurement area 3, and a remote terminal 4.
[0020] Specifically, the storage tank 1 is used to contain liquid 11. A transparent plate 12 is provided on the storage tank 1, and the transparent plate 12 corresponds to the position of the bubble detector 223. The monitoring component 2 includes a radar level gauge 21 and a bubble monitoring mechanism 22. The radar level gauge 21 is located at the top of the inner wall of the storage tank 1 and is used to monitor the liquid level. The bubble monitoring mechanism 22 is located on one side wall of the storage tank 1. The bubble monitoring mechanism 22 includes a connecting rod 221, a bubble detector 223, and a supplementary light 224. The connecting rod 221 is connected to the side wall of the storage tank 1. A base is provided on the connecting rod 221. The bubble detector 223 and the supplementary light 224 are respectively provided at the end of the base 222 facing the storage tank 1. The supplementary light 224 is adjacent to the bubble detector 223. The bubble monitoring mechanism 223 is used to monitor bubbles in the liquid 11. By adding a radar level gauge 21 to the top of the inner wall of the storage tank 1, the radar level gauge 21 covers the storage tank 1 downwards to detect the liquid level, and the liquid level height in the storage tank 1 can be detected in real time. Using a bubble detector 223 installed on the side wall of the storage tank 1, which is close to the bottom of the storage tank 1, the bubble detector 223 can monitor the generation of bubbles in the liquid 11 in real time through the transparent plate 12. When the light conditions are insufficient, the supplementary light 224 can be turned on to supplement the light of the bubble detector 223. The radar level gauge 21 can detect the liquid level height in the storage tank 1 in real time, and the bubble monitoring mechanism 22 can monitor the generation of bubbles in the liquid 11 in real time. The radar level gauge 21 and the bubble monitoring mechanism 22 work simultaneously without interfering with each other, and the liquid in the storage tank 1 can be monitored in all directions.
[0021] Specifically, a measurement area 3 is provided on one side of the storage tank 1. Within the measurement area 3, a reference point 31 and multiple detection points 32 are set up, arranged side-by-side. The multiple detection points 32 are located on the side of the reference point 31 furthest from the storage tank 1. A hydrostatic level 5 is installed at both the reference point 31 and the multiple detection points 32. The hydrostatic level 5 is connected to the storage tank 1 via a piping assembly 6, which includes a liquid piping 61 and a back pressure piping 62. A cavity 14 is formed between the top of the liquid 11 in the storage tank 1 and the top of the storage tank 1 itself. The liquid piping 61 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, and the back pressure piping 62 is connected to the cavity 14. The hydrostatic level 5 includes a level chamber 51 and a back pressure chamber 52, separated by a gap. The level chamber 51 is connected to the liquid piping 61, and the back pressure chamber 52 is connected to the back pressure piping 62. The liquid storage tank 1 containing liquid 11 is connected to the reference point 31 and multiple detection points 32. Then, a hydrostatic level 5 is set on the reference point 31 and multiple detection points 32. The liquid pressure values of the reference point 31 and multiple detection points 32 are collected using a remote terminal 4, and the changes in the liquid pressure values are dynamically monitored. The liquid path is set to ensure the normal operation of the hydrostatic level 5, so as to monitor the settlement of each structure. The back pressure pipeline 62 is connected to the cavity 12 and the back pressure cavity 52 respectively. No vacuum is drawn during the installation and connection process. When leakage occurs, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 will decrease. The air in the back pressure cavity 52 will fill the liquid storage tank 1 to maintain the air pressure balance in the liquid storage tank 1. Since the liquid storage tank 1 itself is well sealed, if there is no air filling in the back pressure cavity 52, the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 1 will decrease, affecting the normal operation of the hydrostatic level 5.
[0022] Specifically, the storage tank 1 is equipped with a transceiver control terminal 13, and the radar level gauge 21, bubble monitoring mechanism 22, and hydrostatic level 5 are all wirelessly connected to the remote terminal 4. The transceiver control terminal 13 enables bidirectional wireless communication transmission between the radar level gauge 21, bubble monitoring mechanism 22, and hydrostatic level 5 and the remote terminal 4, ensuring timely and smooth data and control signal reception and transmission. The remote terminal 4 analyzes the transmitted data and promptly pushes maintenance notifications, improving monitoring efficiency while reducing labor costs.
[0023] This invention, by setting up a radar level gauge 21, can detect the liquid level in the storage tank 1 in real time. By using a bubble monitoring mechanism 22, it can monitor the generation of bubbles in the liquid 11 in real time. Then, the radar level gauge 21 and the bubble monitoring mechanism 22 send the collected liquid level value and the number of bubbles to the remote terminal 4. The remote terminal analyzes the data, determines the remaining usage time of the liquid level, and promptly pushes maintenance notifications to improve the effectiveness of maintenance and avoid the waste of maintenance resources.
