Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil level sensor technology, and specifically to an oil level sensor with good sealing performance. Background Technology
[0002] An oil level sensor is a component that detects the position (height) of oil in a container by utilizing the change in capacitance between the sensor housing and the sensing electrode caused by oil entering the container, and converting this change into a change in current.
[0003] For example, a novel oil level sensor with publication number "CN218511848U" includes a sensor tube body. The bottom end of the sensor tube body has an oil inlet hole. Through a threaded collar, a movable fastening threaded collar, a fixed guide groove, a connecting limit block, and a fixed limit collar, the movable filter sleeve can be moved to move the connecting limit block, fitting onto the outer side of the bottom surface of the sensor tube body. Simultaneously, the connecting limit block can move along the inner side of the fixed guide groove. The fixed limit collar restricts the position of the threaded collar, and rotating the movable fastening threaded collar further restricts its position, thus fixing the position of the movable filter sleeve and preventing it from rotating on the outer surface of the sensor tube body. It also allows for quick disassembly and cleaning of the movable filter sleeve.
[0004] However, the seal between the active filter sleeve and the sensor tube in the above document is insufficient, and unfiltered oil may flow around into the oil inlet through the side gap, reducing the filtration effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an oil level sensor with good sealing performance that improves sealing and filtration effect, in order to address the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an oil level sensor with good sealing performance, comprising a sensor tube and a movable filter sleeve detachably disposed at the bottom end of the sensor tube, wherein the bottom end of the sensor tube has a plurality of oil inlet holes, characterized in that: the movable filter sleeve has a chamber, and a threaded collar extends upward from the outer edge of the chamber opening of the movable filter sleeve, a first sealing groove is formed on the inner wall of the threaded collar, a first sealing ring is embedded in the first sealing groove, the inner side of the first sealing ring can be tightly fitted with the outer surface of the sensor tube, and a movable fastening threaded ring that can be threadedly connected to the threaded collar is movably sleeved on the sensor tube.
[0007] The above technical solution improves the sealing between the movable filter sleeve and the sensor tube by providing a first sealing groove in the threaded collar and embedding a first sealing ring in the first sealing groove. This prevents the filtered oil from flowing around the side gap into the oil inlet and reducing the filtration effect. After the movable filter sleeve is installed on the sensor tube, the movable fastening threaded ring is rotated to make it threadedly connected to the threaded collar on the movable filter sleeve, thus completing the installation of the movable filter sleeve.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that: a plurality of fixed guide grooves are provided on the outer surface of the sensor tube between adjacent oil inlets, and a connecting limiting block is provided inside the movable filter sleeve corresponding to the fixed guide grooves, and the connecting limiting block can be located within the fixed guide grooves.
[0009] The above technical solution provides guidance by using a fixed guide groove and a connecting limit block to facilitate the assembly of the movable filter sleeve onto the sensor tube. This also restricts the movement of the movable filter sleeve after assembly, preventing it from rotating.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that: the connecting limiting block has protrusions on both sides in the middle, and the inner wall of the fixing guide groove has a groove that matches the shape of the protrusions.
[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting the protrusion and the groove, when the movable filter sleeve can be fitted on the outer surface of the sensor tube body, and the connecting limiting block can be locked on the inner side of the fixed guide groove, as the connecting limiting block moves along the fixed guide groove to a certain position, the protrusion can enter the groove, further strengthening the connection stability between the sensor tube body and the movable filter sleeve.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that a limiting collar is fixedly provided near the bottom of the sensor tube, an internal thread cavity is provided at the lower end of the movable fastening threaded ring, and an opening is provided at the upper end of the movable fastening threaded ring. The diameter of the opening is smaller than the diameter of the internal thread cavity, and the opening and the upper end of the internal thread cavity form an abutment surface that can abut against the limiting collar.
[0013] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting the limiting collar, the position of the threaded collar can be restricted. At the same time, since the diameter of the upper opening of the movable fastening threaded collar is smaller than the diameter of the internal thread cavity, the limiting collar can restrict the position of the movable fastening threaded collar before the movable filter sleeve is assembled. The abutting surface can abut against the limiting collar to prevent the movable fastening threaded collar from detaching from the outer surface of the sensor tube.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that: a flange is fixedly connected to the top of the sensor tube, a fixed limiting groove is provided at the top of the flange, a movable mounting sleeve is movably connected to the inner side of the fixed limiting groove, an electrical box is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable mounting sleeve, a lead wire is fixedly connected to the top of the electrical box, a movable fastening block is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the electrical box, and a fastening bolt is movably connected between the movable fastening block and the flange.
[0015] The above technical solution allows for the removal of the movable fastening block by rotating the fastening bolts, thus eliminating restrictions on the position of the movable mounting sleeve. This enables quick disassembly and maintenance of the electrical box and the movable mounting sleeve, making the operation convenient and easy for staff to install and disassemble.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that a second sealing groove is provided along the inner wall of the fixed limiting groove, and a second sealing ring is embedded in the second sealing groove. The inner side of the second sealing ring can fit tightly against the outer wall of the movable mounting sleeve.
[0017] The above technical solution improves the sealing performance between the flange and the movable mounting sleeve by setting the second sealing groove and the second sealing ring.
[0018] A further feature of this invention is that: a wire clamp is provided at the top of the electrical box, the wire clamp includes mounting blocks at both ends, a through groove is provided between the mounting blocks for the lead wire to pass through, a first mounting hole is provided through the mounting blocks, a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole is provided on the upper surface of the electrical box, and a fastener is provided between the two.
[0019] The above technical solution involves adding a wire clamp to the electrical box outlet to reduce vibration and pulling. At the same time, the first and second mounting holes facilitate disassembly and assembly by the staff.
[0020] A further feature of this invention is that a connecting handle is fixedly connected to the top of the movable mounting sleeve, and a rubber protective sleeve is provided on the outside of the lead wire.
[0021] The above technical solution allows workers to easily remove the fastening bolts from between the movable fastening block and the flange, and then move the movable mounting sleeve and the electrical box as a whole by means of the connecting handle, thus enabling quick disassembly and maintenance of the electrical box; in addition, the rubber protective sleeve on the outside of the lead wire can disperse bending stress and prevent the lead wire from breaking.
