Description
A portable glass float safety measuring device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measurement auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a portable glass float safety measurement device. Background Technology
[0002] Glass float gauges are widely used in many industries for measuring liquid parameters due to their simple structure, convenient operation, and high measurement accuracy. They are typically made of transparent and corrosion-resistant glass, with a specific substance filled at the bottom of the inner cavity and graduations on the upper body. The measurement value is indicated by the float's position in the liquid.
[0003] However, glass flotation meters present numerous problems in practical use. Due to their glass casing, they are relatively fragile and easily damaged by impacts, drops, or other external forces during operation. If a glass flotation meter breaks, its internal filler material may contaminate the sample being measured. In industries with extremely high hygiene and product quality requirements, such as food and pharmaceuticals, this can lead to serious food safety hazards or product quality problems, resulting in significant economic losses.
[0004] Furthermore, when measuring corrosive or organically hazardous liquids, direct contact with the sample can cause harm to the skin, eyes, and other organs. Traditional glass float gauges cannot effectively address these safety concerns. Therefore, developing a portable safety measuring device that protects the glass float gauge and prevents direct human contact with the sample is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a portable glass float safety measuring device. To achieve the above objective, this invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A portable glass buoy safety measuring device includes a main body, which comprises a cylindrical body, a cylindrical base, and a valve assembly. The cylindrical body is fixed on the cylindrical base, and the valve assembly is disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical base. A transparent glass ring is provided at the top of the cylindrical body, and the transparent glass ring is fixed to the cylindrical body by two connecting and fixing plates. An upper buoyancy pad is provided above the transparent glass ring, and a lower buoyancy pad is provided inside the cylindrical body. The glass buoyancy meter is placed between the upper and lower buoyancy pads. Valve rods are rotatably provided on both sides of the connecting and fixing plates. The valve assembly includes a valve wire, and the valve rod and the valve assembly are connected in series by the valve wire.
[0007] As an improvement, the top of the transparent glass ring is provided with a buoyancy fixing frame, the upper buoyancy pad is set on the buoyancy fixing frame, a pad connecting rod is provided between the upper buoyancy pad and the lower buoyancy pad, rope holes are provided on the upper buoyancy pad, the lower buoyancy pad and the buoyancy fixing frame, and a stabilizing rope is provided on the rope holes. The upper buoyancy pad, the lower buoyancy pad and the buoyancy fixing frame are fixed by the stabilizing rope.
[0008] As an improvement, the valve assembly includes a valve frame and a valve plug. The valve frame is fixed to the bottom of the cylinder seat, and a first bolt is provided between the valve frame and the cylinder seat for fixation. A reset spring is provided on the top of the valve plug, and the valve plug is pressed into the valve frame by the reset spring. The reset spring is fixed to the valve frame by a second bolt. A reserved hole is provided at the bottom of the valve plug, and the valve wire passes through the reserved hole. The two ends of the valve wire are respectively provided at the bottom of two valve stems, and the valve wire is fixed to the valve stems by a third bolt.
[0009] As an improvement, a frame ring fixing member is provided between the buoyancy fixing frame and the connecting fixing plate.

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments to enable a better understanding of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] This embodiment discloses a portable glass float safety measuring device.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment includes a device body 1, which includes a cylindrical body 2, a cylindrical base 3, and a valve assembly. The cylindrical body 2 is fixed on the cylindrical base 3, and the valve assembly is located at the bottom of the cylindrical base 3. A transparent glass ring 4 is provided at the top of the cylindrical body 2, and the transparent glass ring 4 is fixed to the cylindrical body 2 by two connecting and fixing plates 5. An upper buoyancy gauge 6 is provided above the transparent glass ring 4, and a lower buoyancy gauge 7 is provided inside the cylindrical body 2. The glass buoyancy gauge is placed between the upper buoyancy gauge 6 and the lower buoyancy gauge 7. A valve rod 8 is rotatably provided on both sides of the connecting and fixing plates 5. The valve assembly includes a valve wire 14, and the valve rod 8 and the valve assembly are connected in series through the valve wire 14.
[0032] By controlling the opening and closing of the valve assembly, samples at specific depths can be accurately collected to meet the needs of different measurement scenarios. For example, when measuring layered liquids, samples from different layers can be collected for analysis by controlling the valve to open at different depths. The transparent glass ring 4 protects the glass float from external impacts and has a convex-transparent effect, helping operators to read the scale values on the glass float more clearly. The connecting fixing piece 5 ensures the firm connection between the transparent glass ring 4 and the cylinder body 2, ensuring that the transparent glass ring 4 will not fall off during use. The upper float gasket 6 and the lower float gasket 7 fix the glass float, preventing it from shaking or colliding inside the device. They are made of a soft material with a certain degree of friction, which protects the glass float from scratches and ensures its stable placement inside the device, allowing the glass float to accurately display the measurement values during the measurement process. When measuring corrosive liquids, the operator only needs to operate the valve rod 8 to safely complete the sample collection, avoiding skin contact with the hazardous liquid.
[0033] The top of the transparent glass ring 4 is provided with a buoyancy fixing frame 9. The upper buoyancy pad 6 is set on the buoyancy fixing frame 9. A pad connecting rod 10 is provided between the upper buoyancy pad 6 and the lower buoyancy pad 7. The upper buoyancy pad 6, the lower buoyancy pad 7, and the buoyancy fixing frame 9 are provided with rope holes 11. A stabilizing rope is provided on the rope holes 11. The upper buoyancy pad 6, the lower buoyancy pad 7, and the buoyancy fixing frame 9 are fixed by the stabilizing rope.
[0034] The gasket connecting rod 10 passes through the upper and lower flotation gaskets 7, connecting them into a single unit. Its function is to ensure the relative positional stability between the upper and lower flotation gaskets 7, allowing the glass flotation to remain vertical within the device. The presence of the stabilizing rope further enhances the stability of the entire fixing structure. During use, the stabilizing rope prevents separation or misalignment between the upper flotation gasket 6, the lower flotation gasket 7, and the flotation fixing frame 9.
[0035] The valve assembly includes a valve frame 12, a valve plug 13, and a valve wire 14. The valve frame 12 is fixed to the bottom of the cylinder seat 3. A first bolt 15 is provided between the valve frame 12 and the cylinder seat 3 for fixation. A reset spring 16 is provided on the top of the valve plug 13. The valve plug 13 is pressed into the valve frame 12 by the reset spring 16. The reset spring 16 is fixed to the valve frame 12 by a second bolt 17. A reserved hole 18 is provided at the bottom of the valve plug 13. The valve wire 14 passes through the reserved hole 18. The two ends of the valve wire 14 are respectively provided at the bottom of the two valve stems 8. The valve wire 14 is fixed to the valve stems 8 by a third bolt 19.
[0036] The reset spring 16 is elastic; the pressure it applies keeps the valve plug 13 tightly fitted inside the valve frame 12, providing a seal and preventing the sample from entering the device when collection is not needed. When the valve needs to be opened, an external force acts on the valve stem 8, pulling the valve plug 13 through the valve wire 14 to overcome the elastic force of the reset spring 16, allowing the sample to enter. When the external force is removed, the reset spring 16 quickly returns to its original position, pressing the valve plug 13 back into place, closing the valve, and preventing further sample inflow.
[0037] The taut valve wire 14 pulls the valve plug 13 upward, overcoming the pressure of the reset spring 16, thereby opening the valve. When the pressure on the upper end of the valve stem 8 is stopped, the valve wire 14 returns to a relaxed state, and the valve plug 13 falls back to close the valve under the elastic force of the reset spring 16.
[0038] A frame ring fastener 20 is provided between the buoyancy fixing frame 9 and the connecting fixing plate 5. The buoyancy fixing frame 9 has a fourth bolt 21 at both ends. The fourth bolt 21 passes through the buoyancy fixing frame 9 and the frame ring fastener 20. The frame ring fastener 20 has a fifth bolt 25 at the bottom. The fifth bolt 25 passes through the frame ring fastener 20, the connecting fixing plate 5, and the valve stem 8.
[0039] The main body 1 of the device also includes a valve extension rod 22, the top of which is rotatably connected to the top of the valve rod 8, and a pin shaft 23 is provided between the top of the valve extension rod 22 and the top of the valve rod 8.
[0040] The pin 23 passes through a pre-drilled corresponding hole at the top of the valve extension rod 22 and the top of the valve stem 8. This connection allows the valve extension rod 22 to rotate 180 degrees vertically around the pin 23. The valve extension rod 22 extends the operating distance between the operator and the main body of the device 1. When measuring corrosive, toxic, or hazardous liquids in special environments, the operator can operate the valve from a safe position away from the sample using the valve extension rod 22.
[0041] The main body of the device 1 also includes a device base 24, and the cylinder seat 3 is placed on the device base 24.
[0042] The device base 24 is an integral platform that can be replaced according to the actual situation.
[0043] Measurement Preparation: After assembling and splicing all components using bolts and nuts, place the glass float between the upper and lower float pads 7 to ensure its stability. Place other necessary measuring instruments, such as the concentration meter and thermometer, in their respective positions.
[0044] Sample collection: Holding the valve rod 8 or its extension, the operator vertically inserts the device into the appropriate depth of the sample to be measured. By simultaneously pressing the upper end of the valve rod 8 or its extension, the valve wire 14 is tightened, causing the valve plug 13 to open, allowing the sample at that depth to enter the device. Once the device is full of sample, the pressing of the upper end of the valve rod 8 or its extension is stopped, the wire relaxes, and the valve plug 13 closes under the elastic force of the reset spring 16, completing the sample collection.
[0045] Measurement reading: Remove the entire device from the sample and place it on the horizontal device base 24. At this time, the sample liquid level should be at the height of the transparent glass ring 4. Through the convex-transparent effect of the transparent glass ring 4, the scale value of the liquid level on the glass float can be read conveniently and accurately to complete the measurement operation.
[0046] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but they are merely examples, and this utility model is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions to this utility model are also within the scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of this utility model.
