Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid level regulation technology, specifically to a vacuum degassing machine with integrated liquid level self-regulation. Background Technology
[0002] A vacuum degasser is a device that uses vacuum suction to remove non-condensable gases contained in a liquid feed. It is used to remove air from the liquid feed, inhibit browning, oxidation of pigments, vitamins, flavor components, and other substances, and prevent quality degradation; remove suspended particulate gases adhering to the liquid feed, inhibit particle floating, and maintain a good appearance; prevent foaming during canning and high-temperature sterilization, thus affecting sterilization; and reduce corrosion of the container's inner wall, acting as a corrosion protectant.
[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202321750722.X discloses a constant-pressure water-replenishing vacuum degassing unit, including a vacuum degasser. A top cover is movably installed on the top of the vacuum degasser, a conduit is connected to one side of the vacuum degasser, and an anti-slip block is fixedly installed on the bottom of the vacuum degasser. A vibration component is installed inside the vacuum degasser, and a humidification component is connected to one side of the vacuum degasser. In this design, the constant-pressure water-replenishing vacuum degassing unit utilizes the vibration component. When there are many impurities inside the vacuum degasser, the operator can activate the vibration motor at the bottom of the receiving plate. The vibration motor drives the filter screen to vibrate, thereby filtering and screening the impurities inside the vacuum degasser to remove them. This prevents dust or impurities in the air from entering the vacuum degasser and causing blockages, which could affect the subsequent use of the vacuum degassing unit.
[0004] However, the following problems still exist: During the actual operation, the liquid level of the vacuum degasser may change due to continuous processing, so it is necessary to continuously drain the liquid. During this process, the continuous operation of the vibration motor may affect the draining process, resulting in uneven liquid levels after each draining, which may have an adverse effect on the working effect of the vacuum degasser. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art by providing an integrated self-regulating vacuum degassing machine.
[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0007] A vacuum degasser with integrated self-regulating liquid level, comprising:
[0008] The storage mechanism includes a vacuum degassing machine tank, an input pipe, and an output pipe. The input pipe is installed on the upper part of one side of the vacuum degassing machine tank, and the output pipe is installed on the lower part of one side of the vacuum degassing machine tank. A partition is provided on the inner wall of the vacuum degassing machine tank, and a drainage chamber is formed in the space below the partition. A drainage pipe is installed at the bottom of the vacuum degassing machine tank, and the output pipe is connected to the drainage chamber through a solenoid valve.
[0009] The liquid level monitoring mechanism includes a mounting rod, a detection rod, and a sensor switch. The mounting rod is installed on the surface of the partition. The top of the mounting rod is integrally formed with a detection rod. The center of the detection rod has an inner groove, and the sensor switch is installed in the inner groove. Float plates are connected to both sides of the sensor switch.
[0010] The aforementioned vacuum degassing machine, wherein: the top of the vacuum degassing machine tank is configured with an arc-shaped structure, and an auxiliary pipe is provided at the center of the top of the vacuum degassing machine tank.
[0011] In the aforementioned vacuum degassing machine, the bottom of the mounting rod is provided with a connecting shaft, and the end of the connecting shaft is movably mounted to the surface of the partition plate through a bearing.
[0012] In the aforementioned vacuum degassing machine, the inductive switch is connected to the solenoid valve signal via a circuit.
[0013] In the aforementioned vacuum degassing machine, connecting rods are uniformly welded sequentially to the surface of the mounting rod, and each end of the connecting rod is bolted with a support rod, the height of which is consistent with the height of the detection rod.
[0014] In the aforementioned vacuum degassing machine, the mounting rod, connecting rod, and support rod are all integral structures made of steel structural materials.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention uses a liquid level monitoring mechanism to monitor the liquid level inside the vacuum degasser tank in real time. When the liquid level is too high, a solenoid valve will be opened via a sensor switch to drain the liquid. As the liquid level drops, the float plate descends along with the sensor switch and eventually closes the solenoid valve to complete the drainage. This structure ensures that the liquid level inside the tank is always kept at the same level, effectively preventing other factors from affecting the liquid level and thus ensuring the working effect of the vacuum degasser.

[0025] Example
[0026] The vacuum degassing machine provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a material storage mechanism and a liquid level monitoring mechanism 7.
[0027] The storage mechanism includes a vacuum degassing tank 1, an input pipe 2, and an output pipe 3. The input pipe 2 is installed on the upper part of one side of the vacuum degassing tank 1, and the output pipe 3 is installed on the lower part of one side of the vacuum degassing tank 1. A partition 4 is provided on the inner wall of the vacuum degassing tank 1, and a drainage chamber is formed in the space below the partition 4. A drainage pipe 6 is installed at the bottom of the vacuum degassing tank 1, and the output pipe 3 is connected to the drainage chamber 5 through a solenoid valve 8.
[0028] The liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 includes a mounting rod 701, a detection rod 703, and a sensor switch 705. The mounting rod 701 is mounted on the surface of the partition 4. The top of the mounting rod 701 is integrally formed with the detection rod 703. The center of the detection rod 703 has an inner groove 704, in which the sensor switch 705 is located. Floats 706 are connected to both sides of the sensor switch 705. A connecting shaft 702 is located at the bottom of the mounting rod 701. The end of the connecting shaft 702 is movably mounted to the surface of the partition 4 via bearings. The connecting shaft 702 structure provides the liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 with a certain degree of adjustability, allowing for angle adjustment with the water flow. This avoids adverse effects of water flow impact on the monitoring effect of the liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 and ensures the working effect of the floats 706 and the sensor switch 705. Connecting rods 707 are uniformly welded sequentially to the surface of the mounting rod 701. Each end of the connecting rod 707 is bolted with a support rod 708, and the height of the support rod 708 is the same as the height of the detection rod 703.
[0029] Mounting rod 701, connecting rod 707, and support rod 708 are all integrated structures made of steel. They possess excellent strength and rigidity, and this structural design ensures that the liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 receives adequate support, minimizing unnecessary damage caused by external impacts or vibrations.
[0030] In the vacuum degasser employing the above technical solution, the top of the vacuum degasser tank 1 is designed with an arc-shaped structure, and an auxiliary pipe 9 is provided at the center of the top of the vacuum degasser tank 1. This is used to assist in the addition of other required materials, such as solutions of other proportions, or other materials. It can also be used in conjunction with an aeration pipe to assist the reaction.
[0031] The inductive switch 705 in the liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 is connected to the solenoid valve 8 via a circuit. This allows the inductive switch 705 to be triggered when the float 706 rises and eventually contacts the inner wall of the detection rod 703. At this point, the liquid level reaches the target level, and the solenoid valve 8 is automatically activated to control the output pipe 3 to discharge water into the drain chamber 5.
[0032] In summary, the vacuum degassing machine provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:
[0033] This invention optimizes the overall structure by incorporating a liquid level monitoring mechanism 7 inside the vacuum degasser tank 1. During operation, as liquid is added to the tank 1, the gradually rising liquid level causes two floats 706 to rise, which in turn moves the induction switch 705 upwards until it reaches its highest point, where it contacts and presses against the inner wall of the detection rod 703. If the liquid level continues to rise, the floats 706, under buoyancy, will press against the induction switch 705. Since the induction switch 705 is connected to the solenoid valve 8, the solenoid valve 8 will automatically open, sending water along the output pipe 3 into the drain chamber 5. The water level continues to drop until the floats 706 no longer have sufficient force to press against the induction switch 705. At this point, the solenoid valve 8 will close, stopping the drainage. In this way, the liquid level can be automatically adjusted to a uniform standard in real time, achieving self-regulation of the liquid level inside the vacuum degasser tank 1 and ultimately ensuring the working effect of the vacuum degasser.
[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
