Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass plate level gauge technology, specifically a sliding and movable glass plate level gauge. Background Technology

[0002] A glass plate level gauge is a device used to directly indicate the liquid level in a sealed container. It connects to the container via flanges or other means, forming a complete communicating vessel. Based on the principle of communicating vessels, the actual liquid level inside the container is directly displayed through the transparent glass. Its main structure includes a body, a pressure cap, a glass plate, a cock valve, and connecting flanges. By utilizing the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level inside the tank is made the same as the liquid level inside the glass plate level gauge, allowing for measurement of the liquid level through scale lines.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213600158U discloses an adjustable glass plate level gauge, comprising a flange connector, a measuring device, and a disassembly / assembly structure. The measuring device is used to measure the liquid level, and the disassembly / assembly structure facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the measuring device, allowing adjustment of the measuring range and size of the level gauge. This adjustable glass plate level gauge solves the problem of the fixed and non-adjustable measuring range of existing glass plate level gauges. It features a measuring device for easy liquid level measurement and a disassembly / assembly structure for easy disassembly and assembly, allowing adjustment of the measuring range and size of the level gauge. The device is simple and quick to assemble and disassemble, and its ingenious structure allows the level gauge to be used repeatedly on different devices, improving its efficiency and user-friendliness. As can be seen from the aforementioned patent, glass plate level gauges have a relatively fixed length, and their non-adjustable measuring range makes them difficult to adapt to different tanks, reducing their applicability and requiring the use of multiple level gauges, thus increasing costs. Therefore, we propose a sliding, movable glass plate level gauge. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sliding movable glass plate level gauge to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art, as can be seen from the above-mentioned patents. The length of the glass plate level gauge is relatively fixed, and the measurement range cannot be adjusted when facing different tanks, making it difficult to adapt to measurement needs, reducing the applicability of the glass plate level gauge, requiring the use of multiple level gauges, and increasing costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sliding movable glass plate level gauge, including a base plate, a sliding mechanism provided at the top center of the base plate, a connecting mechanism provided on one side of the sliding mechanism, and a level gauge body connected to one side of the connecting mechanism;

[0006] The sliding mechanism includes a U-shaped frame fixed to the top of the base plate. The U-shaped frame has movable grooves on both sides inside. A slot is evenly opened through one side of the movable groove. A shell slides inside the movable groove. A sliding plate slides symmetrically inside the shell. An insert is fixed in the middle of one side of the sliding plate. A connecting seat is fixed on the other side of the sliding plate. A connecting rod rotates inside the connecting seat. A movable seat rotates at one end of the connecting rod.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding mechanism further includes a handle fixed to one side of the movable seat, and slide rods are symmetrically fixed between the two sides of the inner cavity of the outer shell, with a return spring sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod.

[0008] Preferably, the handle extends through one side of the housing and is slidably connected to the housing, so that when the handle moves, it drives the movable seat to move.

[0009] Preferably, the length and width of the end of the insertion block are equal to the length and width of the slot opening, and the outlet and inlet of the level gauge body are connected by a flexible hose through a flange. The flexible hose is easy to deform and avoids affecting the movement of the level gauge body.

[0010] Preferably, the slide plate slides on the outside of the slide bar to limit the slide plate, and the return spring is fixed between the opposite sides of the two slide plates.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a fixing plate fixed to the middle of one side of the housing, a connecting groove symmetrically extending through one side of the fixing plate, a contraction cavity formed in the middle of one side of the connecting groove, a connecting spring uniformly fixed to one side of the contraction cavity, a connecting plate fixed to one end of the connecting spring, a locking block fixed to the top of the connecting plate, and connecting blocks symmetrically fixed to the back side of the level gauge body, with a locking groove formed on one side of the connecting block.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting plate slides inside the contraction cavity, and both sides of the card block and both sides of the card slot are provided with inclined surfaces to facilitate the connecting block to squeeze the inclined surfaces of the card block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This application utilizes a sliding mechanism to connect a hose to the tank via a flange. Pulling the handle moves the movable seat, causing the connecting rod to deflect and the sliding plates to move closer together, displacing the insert block from the slot. Then, the outer casing is moved, moving the level gauge body. Once the gas-liquid interface is observed and the liquid level is visible, the insert block is aligned with the slot. Loosening the handle allows the return spring to reset the insert block, securing it in the slot. This allows for easy adjustment of the level gauge body's position according to different tanks, ensuring the level gauge can always measure the liquid level inside different tanks, thus improving the device's applicability.

[0015] 2. In this application, by setting up a connecting mechanism, the connecting block is embedded in the connecting groove, and the locking block is squeezed, causing the locking block to move the connecting plate. The locking block retracts into the shrinkage cavity, squeezing the connecting spring. When the locking block is aligned with the locking groove, the locking block is reset by the reset of the connecting spring, so that the locking block is embedded in the locking groove and the connecting block is fixed, thereby installing the level gauge body. This makes the installation simpler and more convenient, and also facilitates the disassembly of the level gauge for subsequent maintenance, improving the practicality of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example: Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a sliding movable glass plate level gauge, including a base plate 100, a sliding mechanism 200 provided at the top center of the base plate 100, a connecting mechanism 300 provided on one side of the sliding mechanism 200, and a level gauge body 400 connected to one side of the connecting mechanism 300.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding mechanism 200 includes a U-shaped frame 210 fixed to the top of the base plate 100. Movable grooves 220 are formed on both sides of the interior of the U-shaped frame 210. A slot 221 is uniformly formed through one side of each movable groove 220. A housing 230 slides inside the movable groove 220. A sliding plate 240 slides symmetrically inside the housing 230. An insert block 250 is fixed to the middle of one side of the sliding plate 240. A connecting seat 260 is fixed to the other side of the sliding plate 240. A connecting rod 261 rotates inside the connecting seat 260. A movable seat 280 rotates at one end of the connecting rod 261. The sliding mechanism 200 also includes a handle 270 fixed to one side of the movable seat 280. Sliding rods 290 are symmetrically fixed between the two sides of the inner cavity of the housing 230. A return spring 291 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 290. The handle 270 passes through one side of the housing 230 and is slidably connected to the housing 230. The length and width of the end of the insert block 250 are equal to the length and width of the slot opening of the slot 221. The outlet and inlet of the level gauge body 400 are connected to a hose 410 via a flange; the slide plate 240 slides on the outside of the slide rod 290, and the return spring 291 is fixed between the opposite sides of the two slide plates 240; using the sliding mechanism 200, the hose 410 is connected to the tank via the flange, and then the handle 270 is pulled to move the moving seat 280, causing the connecting rod 261 to deflect and move the slide plates 240 closer together, so that the insert 250 moves out of the slot 221. Then the outer shell 230 is moved to move the level gauge body 400. When the gas-liquid interface is observed and the liquid level is seen, the insert 250 is aligned with the slot 221, the handle 270 is released, and the return spring 291 resets the insert 250 into the slot 221, completing the fixation. This allows the position of the level gauge body 400 to be adjusted according to different tanks, so that the level gauge body 400 can always measure the liquid level inside different tanks, improving the applicability of the device.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5The connecting mechanism 300 includes a fixing plate 310 fixed to the middle of one side of the outer casing 230. A connecting groove 320 is symmetrically formed through one side of the fixing plate 310. A contraction cavity 330 is formed in the middle of one side of the connecting groove 320. A connecting spring 340 is evenly fixed to one side of the contraction cavity 330. A connecting plate 350 is fixed to one end of the connecting spring 340. A locking block 360 is fixed to the top of the connecting plate 350. A connecting block 370 is symmetrically fixed to the back side of the level gauge body 400. A locking groove 380 is formed on one side of the connecting block 370. The connecting plate 350 slides inside the contraction cavity 330. Locking blocks 360 and locking grooves 380 are provided on both sides of the locking block 360 and both sides of the locking groove 380. The inclined plane; by using the connecting mechanism 300, the connecting block 370 is embedded in the connecting groove 320, which squeezes the locking block 360, causing the locking block 360 to move the connecting plate 350, and causing the locking block 360 to retract into the shrinkage cavity 330, which squeezes the connecting spring 340. When the locking block 360 is aligned with the locking groove 380, the locking block 360 is reset by the reset of the connecting spring 340, so that the locking block 360 is embedded in the locking groove 380, fixing the connecting block 370, thereby installing the level gauge body 400, making the installation simpler and more convenient, and also facilitating the disassembly of the level gauge for subsequent maintenance, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0026] Specifically: The glass plate level gauge is mainly composed of a thick tempered glass plate, a metal pressure frame, and a connecting valve; its working principle is based on the principle of communicating vessels, which directly displays the height of the liquid level in the container through the transparent glass plate. When the liquid level in the container changes, the liquid level in the glass plate remains in balance with the container, so the liquid level change can be directly observed through the transparent glass plate.

[0027] In use, this utility model works as follows: During installation, the connecting block 370 is embedded in the connecting groove 320, and the locking block 360 is pressed, causing the locking block 360 to move the connecting plate 350. The locking block 360 then retracts into the contraction cavity 330, pressing the connecting spring 340. When the locking block 360 aligns with the groove 380, the resetting of the connecting spring 340 resets the locking block 360, making it embedded in the groove 380 and fixing the connecting block 370. This allows the level gauge body 400 to be installed. Afterwards, the hose 410 is connected to the tank via a flange, and the handle 270 is pulled. The moving seat 280 is moved, causing the connecting rod 261 to deflect, thereby bringing the connecting seats 260 closer together. This causes the sliding plates 240 to move closer together, squeezing the return spring 291. At the same time, the insert 250 is moved out of the slot 221. Then, the outer shell 230 is moved, causing the level gauge body 400 to move. After observing the gas-liquid interface and seeing the liquid level, the liquid level inside the tank is known. The insert 250 is then aligned with the slot 221, and the handle 270 is loosened. Through the reset of the return spring 291, the insert 250 is embedded in the slot 221, completing the fixation. This makes it easy for the level gauge body 400 to be used with different tanks.
