Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water level measurement technology, and in particular to a water level detection device. Background Technology
[0002] In practical engineering projects, such as basement sump pits, traditional electronic water level alarm devices are difficult to install due to site limitations (e.g., limited space, complex environment). Existing monitoring methods mainly rely on inspectors periodically visiting the site to manually measure water levels with a tape measure. This method is not only inefficient but also poses significant safety hazards, such as inspectors potentially falling into the sump pit due to poor visibility or improper operation. Furthermore, manual measurement can lead to inaccurate data recording, affecting subsequent decision-making and processing. Therefore, a solution is needed that provides reliable water level information while being low-cost, easy to install and maintain, to improve work efficiency and ensure worker safety.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1 The water level detection device shown includes a fixed pipe 1, a fixed sleeve 2, a float 3 and a scale 4. A connecting pipe 5 communicating with the fixed pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed pipe 1. The fixed pipe 1 is fixed by the fixed sleeve 2. The float 3 is slidably disposed inside the fixed pipe 1. The scale 4 is fixed on the float 3 and extends out of the fixed pipe 1. The scale 6 is marked on the scale 4.
[0024] In use, the fixing sleeve 2 is used to fix the fixing tube 1 to the wall or support frame with self-tapping screws, so that the lower end of the fixing tube 1 is submerged below the water surface. Water enters the fixing tube 1 through the connecting pipe 5. The float 3 and the scale 4 are set inside the fixing tube 1. The float 3 rises and falls with the water, and the rise and fall of the water level is displayed on the scale 6 on the scale 4, realizing real-time and intuitive reading of water level changes. This new type of water level detection device is not only economical and easy to operate, but also particularly suitable for water level monitoring scenarios with various limited conditions, significantly improving the safety and accuracy of monitoring work.
[0025] To accurately display the water level and avoid the tilt of marker 4 affecting the accuracy of the observation, such as Figure 1 As shown, a bracket is fixedly connected inside the fixed tube 1, and a protective sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the center of the bracket. The marker 4 is slidably connected to the protective sleeve 7. The protective sleeve 7 is used to raise and lower the marker 4 vertically.
[0026] For ease of reading, such as Figure 1 As shown, a scale 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed tube 1, and the scale 8 is adjacent to the outer wall of the scale rod 4. The scale 8 is aligned with the scale 6 of the scale rod 4 to read the water level height.
[0027] To prevent impurities in the water from affecting the movement of the float 3 within the fixed pipe 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a threaded cylinder 9 is threadedly connected to the fixed pipe 1, and a filter screen 10 is fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 9.
[0028] To prevent impurities from the bottom of the water body from entering the fixed pipe 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom end of the fixing pipe 1 is sealed to prevent impurities from affecting the rising and falling of the float 3.
[0029] To facilitate the stable raising and lowering of the float 3 within the fixed tube 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the float 3 is spherical and conforms to the inner wall of the fixed tube 1.
[0030] Alternatively, the float 3 can be configured as a cylinder.
[0031] A light-emitting element is installed at the top of the marker, and the light-emitting element is electrically connected to a power module mounted on a fixed tube. This is used to display water level markings when there is insufficient light.
[0032] To facilitate direct observation of the position of internal marker 4 and to aid in predicting the water level warning height, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the upper section of the fixing tube 1 is made of transparent plastic.
[0033] For ease of installation, such as Figure 1As shown, the fixing sleeve 2 includes an arc-shaped sleeve 21 and mounting plates 22 fixed at both ends of the arc-shaped sleeve. The arc-shaped sleeve 21 is fitted onto the fixing tube 1, and the mounting plates 22 are fixed by expansion screws.
