Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of generator set fuel tank structure, specifically relating to an intelligent fuel quantity monitoring device for a power distribution room. Background Technology

[0002] The generator set's fuel tank is a critical component for ensuring power supply, and its fuel level needs to be accurately monitored to prevent fuel depletion and subsequent shutdown damage. In scenarios requiring remote management, such as remote base stations and unmanned pumping stations, personnel cannot frequently visit the site. Traditional fuel tanks often rely on mechanical fuel level gauges for manual visual inspection, which is insufficient to meet the needs of remote monitoring.

[0003] Currently, there are significant technical challenges in using generator set fuel tank level indicators for remote video monitoring. First, identification is difficult. Commonly used float-type fuel level gauges show continuously changing indications, making it difficult to accurately determine the current liquid level in a remote video feed, leading to a high risk of misjudgment. Second, reliability is poor. Fuel tank shaking, equipment vibration, or slight tilting can easily cause traditional floats to become misaligned, stuck, or even malfunction. Remote observation cannot distinguish between the true value and a false reading caused by interference, making the indication unreliable. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent fuel quantity monitoring device for power distribution rooms, which solves the problems of difficulty in remotely observing and identifying fuel tank quantity and poor reliability in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model includes a housing, a transparent oil level gauge tube, a float head, and a guide post. The oil level gauge tube is vertically arranged, with both ends connected to the sides of the housing and communicating with the interior of the housing. The float head is a triangular prism structure with an equilateral triangle cross-section. The three side surfaces of the float head are distinguished by different colors. The guide post is located inside the oil level gauge tube, and at least one axial groove is formed on the surface of the guide post. The float head is slidably mounted on the guide post. The float head has a central circular hole through which the guide post passes. At least one protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the central circular hole. The protrusion is slidably mounted in the axial groove. The extension trajectory of the axial groove on the guide post is configured to drive the float head to rotate twice at intervals of 120° when the float head moves along the guide post, so that the different colored side surfaces face outward.

[0007] Optionally, the inner wall of the central circular hole is symmetrically provided with three hemispherical protrusions, and the guide post is provided with three axial grooves matching the number of protrusions.

[0008] Optionally, the axial groove is a continuous spiral groove, and the helix angle of the spiral groove changes in opposite directions at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the height of the oil level gauge tube. Each change in the helix angle drives the float to complete one 120° rotation.

[0009] Optionally, a reflector is attached to each of the three side surfaces of the float head. The three reflectors are green, yellow, and red, respectively. When the float head moves from top to bottom in the oil level gauge tube, the color of the float head changes from green to yellow to red in sequence.

[0010] Optionally, the oil level gauge tube includes a cylindrical tube body, with an axially grooved outer side of the tube body away from the oil tank and a sealed arc-shaped observation window.

[0011] Optionally, the oil level gauge tube further includes a top cover, the top of the tube body is open, the top cover is slidably sealed at the top of the tube body, and the top of the guide post is slidably sealed to the top cover.

[0012] Optionally, the top cover is fixed to the tube body by locking screws.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom surface of the tube body is provided with a spline groove, and the bottom end of the guide post is engaged with the spline groove and inserted into the spline groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Utilizing the special configuration of the guide column and the synergistic effect of the triangular prism float head, when the liquid level rises or falls, the float head slides axially along the guide column. The protrusion inside the float head moves along the groove trajectory. When the float head reaches two preset key positions, it rotates around its axis, with each rotation angle being 120 degrees. This device achieves multi-level, clear, and stable indication of the liquid level. The float head rotates 120 degrees twice with changes in liquid level, forcibly and uniquely facing the observer with the colored surface corresponding to the liquid level level, thus intuitively and unambiguously indicating the high or low liquid level, avoiding the problem of unclear indication in traditional float-type indicators. The guide column penetrates the float head and is supplemented by a groove-protrusion guiding mechanism, improving the guiding stability of the float head and effectively preventing the float head from tilting or jamming due to liquid sloshing, equipment vibration, or slight tilting, ensuring reliable indication. The entire system has a simple structure, requires no electricity or complex sensors, and is suitable for applications with harsh environmental conditions such as oil and chemical storage tanks, significantly improving the safety and convenience of liquid level monitoring.

Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the system includes a housing 1, a transparent oil level gauge tube 2, a float head 3, and a guide post 4.

The oil level gauge tube 2 includes a cylindrical tube body 21, with an axially grooved and sealed arc-shaped observation window 22 on the outer side of the tube body 21 away from the oil tank. The float head 3 is a triangular prism structure with an equilateral triangle cross-section. A reflector 33 is attached to each of the three side surfaces of the float head 3, with the three reflectors being green, yellow, and red, respectively. As the oil level gauge tube 2 moves from top to bottom, the float head 3 changes color from green, yellow, to red sequentially when facing outwards. The guide post 4 is located inside the oil level gauge tube 2, and the surface of the guide post 4... Three axial grooves 41 are formed. The float head 3 is slidably mounted on the guide post 4. The float head 3 has a central circular hole 31 through which the guide post 4 passes. The inner wall of the central circular hole 31 is symmetrically provided with three hemispherical protrusions 32 matching the number of axial grooves 41. The protrusions 32 are slidably mounted in the axial grooves 41. The extension trajectory of the axial grooves 41 on the guide post 4 is configured to drive the float head 3 to rotate twice when it moves along the guide post 4. The axial grooves 41 are continuous spiral grooves. The spiral helix angle of the spiral groove changes in opposite directions at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the height of the oil level gauge tube 2.

[0025] This invention utilizes the special configuration of the guide post 4 and the synergistic effect of the triangular prism float head 3. When the liquid level rises or falls, the float head 3 slides axially along the guide post 4. The protrusion 32 inside the float head 3 moves along the groove trajectory. When the float head 3 reaches two preset key positions, it rotates around its axis, with each rotation angle being 120 degrees. This device achieves multi-level, clear, and stable indication of the liquid level. The float head 3 rotates 120 degrees twice with changes in liquid level, forcibly and uniquely facing the observer with the colored surface corresponding to the liquid level level, thus intuitively and unambiguously indicating the high or low liquid level, avoiding the problem of unclear indication in traditional float-type indicators. The guide post 4 penetrates the float head 3 and is supplemented by the groove-protrusion 32 guiding mechanism, improving the guiding stability of the float head 3 and effectively preventing the float head 3 from tilting or jamming due to liquid sloshing, equipment vibration, or slight tilting, ensuring reliable indication. The entire system has a simple structure, requires no electricity or complex sensors, and is suitable for applications with harsh environmental conditions such as oil and chemical storage tanks, significantly improving the safety and convenience of liquid level monitoring.
