[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model discloses a skimming device with detection function, comprising a mounting box 1, a rotary cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting box 1, a fixed rod 3 fixedly connected to the center of the rotary cylinder 2, angle detection mechanisms 4 fixedly connected to all four sides of the outer wall of the rotary cylinder 2, a height detection mechanism 5 magnetically adsorbed at the bottom of the mounting box 1, a cylinder 6 rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting box 1, a skimming plate 7 fixedly connected to the bottom push rod of the cylinder 6, the bottom push rod of the cylinder 6 passing through the bottom of the mounting box 1 and slidingly connected to its interior, the cylinder 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed rod 3, and scale lines sprayed on the top of the rotary cylinder 2.
[0026] The angle detection mechanism 4 includes a contact wheel 41. The contact wheel 41 is fixedly connected to all four sides of the outer wall of the rotary cylinder 2. The back of the contact wheel 41 on the back of the rotary cylinder 2 contacts the front end of the contact plate 42, and the rotary cylinder 2 can easily drive the contact plate 42 to make circular motion.
[0027] A pressing rod 43 is fixedly connected to the back of the contact plate 42. The bottom of the contact plate 42 is slidably connected to the slide groove 44. The slide groove 44 is located on the top of the connecting plate 45. A first electromagnetic block 46 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the top of the connecting plate 45. The first electromagnetic block 46 facilitates the installation and fixation of the counter 47.
[0028] The top of the first electromagnetic block 46 is magnetically attached to a counter 47. The left end of the rotary cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to a pointer 48, which is located below the contact wheel 41. The front end of the connecting plate 45 is fixedly connected to the upper back of the rotary cylinder 2. The counter 47 is electrically connected to an external display screen, and the first electromagnetic block 46 is electrically connected to an external current output device.
[0029] The working principle of a skimming device with detection function based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0030] First, when using this device, place it in the work area, and then connect it to an external power source to provide the power required for its operation.
[0031] Second, when skimming is required, start cylinder 6. Cylinder 6 drives skimming plate 7 to move downward so that skimming plate 7 comes into contact with the liquid to be skimmed. Then start rotary cylinder 2. Rotary cylinder 2 drives fixed rod 3 to rotate. Fixed rod 3 drives skimming plate 7 to rotate through cylinder 6, adjusting the angle of skimming plate 7. Then, cylinder 6 drives skimming plate 7 to move upward to complete the skimming process.
[0032] Third, when skimming angle detection is required, the first electromagnetic block 46 is driven by an external current output device. The counter 47 is then installed and fixed by the magnetic attraction of the first electromagnetic block 46. Simultaneously, the rotary cylinder 2 drives the contact wheel 41 and pointer 48 to rotate. The contact wheel 41 contacts the contact plate 42, causing the contact plate 42 to move backward within the top groove 44 of the connecting plate 45. The contact plate 42 then drives the squeezing rod 43 to move backward, squeezing the counter 47 and causing it to count. The system counts the number of operations and transmits electrical signals to an external display screen, allowing staff to determine whether the rotation angle of the rotary cylinder 2 is 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, or 360 degrees. This indirectly detects the rotation angle of the skimming plate 7. Simultaneously, the position of the pointer 48 pointing to the scale line on the top of the rotary cylinder 2 can be viewed to further determine the rotation angle of the skimming plate 7. This prevents the skimming plate 7 from rotating too small, which would fail to effectively remove surface oil and foam, while also preventing the skimming plate 7 from rotating too large, which would disturb the lower cleaning liquid.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] Please see Figure 4 The present invention provides a skimming device with detection function. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes: a height detection mechanism 5, which includes a second electromagnetic block 51. Three sets of second electromagnetic blocks 51 are magnetically adsorbed at the bottom of the mounting box 1. A turntable 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second electromagnetic block 51. A third electromagnetic block 53 is fixedly connected to the center of the turntable 52. The second electromagnetic blocks 51 facilitate the fixing of the position of the turntable 52.
[0035] A current output device 54 is fixedly connected to the front end of the turntable 52, and a laser rangefinder 55 is fixedly connected to the lower right end of the turntable 52. A corrosion-resistant glass plate 56 is provided below the laser rangefinder 55. The top left and right ends of the corrosion-resistant glass plate 56 are fixedly connected to the fourth electromagnetic block 57. The corrosion-resistant glass plate 56 helps to prevent liquid from splashing directly onto the laser rangefinder 55.
[0036] The second electromagnetic block 51 and the third electromagnetic block 53 are both electrically connected to the external current output device. The push rod at the bottom of the cylinder 6 passes through the third electromagnetic block 53 and is magnetically attracted to its interior. The laser rangefinder 55 is electrically connected to the external display screen. The fourth electromagnetic block 57 is electrically connected to the current output device 54. The top of the fourth electromagnetic block 57 is magnetically attracted to the bottom of the turntable 52. The fourth electromagnetic block 57 facilitates the installation and removal of the corrosion-resistant glass plate 56.
[0037] In this embodiment:
[0038] An external current output device drives the third electromagnetic block 53 to stop its magnetic adsorption operation and the second electromagnetic block 51 to begin its magnetic adsorption operation. The second electromagnetic block 51 magnetically attaches the turntable 52 to the bottom of the mounting box 1. Then, the non-magnetic adsorption state of the third electromagnetic block 53 causes the bottom push rod of the cylinder 6 to slide within the third electromagnetic block 53, moving the skimming plate 7 downwards. After the skimming plate 7 has moved completely, the laser rangefinder 55 is activated. The laser rangefinder 55 detects the immersion depth of the skimming plate 7 and transmits an electrical signal to an external display screen. The operator observes the signal on the external display screen. The immersion depth of the skimming plate 7 is measured to reduce energy consumption and prevent the cleaning liquid from being accidentally skimmed off. During use, the laser rangefinder 55 is protected from direct liquid splashing by the corrosion-resistant glass plate 56. When the rotary cylinder 2 rotates, the external current output device drives the third electromagnetic block 53 to start magnetic adsorption and the second electromagnetic block 51 to stop magnetic adsorption. This causes the third electromagnetic block 53 to magnetically adsorb with the push rod at the bottom of the cylinder 6, so that the cylinder 6 rotates synchronously to drive the laser rangefinder 55 and the skimming plate 7 to rotate, preventing the skimming plate 7 from rotating alone and failing to detect the immersion depth.
[0039] This invention provides an improved skimming device with detection function. An angle detection mechanism 4 is provided to detect the rotation angle of the skimming blade 7, preventing the blade from rotating too small and failing to effectively remove surface oil and foam, while also preventing the blade from rotating too large and disturbing the underlying cleaning liquid. A height detection mechanism 5 is provided to detect the immersion depth of the skimming blade 7 using a laser rangefinder 55, reducing energy consumption and preventing the cleaning liquid from being mistakenly skimmed away. Simultaneously, the cylinder 6 rotates synchronously, driving both the laser rangefinder 55 and the skimming blade 7 to rotate, ensuring that the immersion depth detection is achieved even when the blade rotates alone.
