Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of installation auxiliary equipment for radar level gauges, and in particular relates to a mounting bracket for radar level gauges. Background Technology

[0002] Radar level gauges are frequently used in large or medium-sized open storage tanks to control liquid levels, achieving automated level control and ensuring smooth production. When installing radar level gauges, for tanks with agitators on the top, users typically fix the gauge to the agitator support beam or maintenance platform. For tanks without agitators, most users use a fixed bracket attached to the top of the tank wall to install the radar level gauge in a designated area to meet production requirements. However, these methods have drawbacks. Once installed, the radar level gauge's position cannot be adjusted according to operating conditions, hindering later production, maintenance, and repair work. This is especially problematic because the radar level gauge is fixed to the bracket before commissioning, making it difficult to conveniently adjust its position during the commissioning process. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a mounting bracket for radar level gauges that is simple in structure, adjustable in position after installation, and easy to debug and maintain.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A mounting bracket for a radar level gauge includes:

[0006] The support frame is a rectangular frame structure;

[0007] The sliding assembly includes two sliding components horizontally and symmetrically mounted on two crossbeams of the support frame, a driving device for driving the moving ends of the two sliding components to move laterally, and a laterally movable upright plate whose two ends are respectively connected to the moving ends of the two sliding components.

[0008] The mounting base includes a horizontally mounted base plate fixed to the upright plate, multiple studs fixed at their lower ends to the mounting base plate, and a connecting plate suspended above the mounting base plate and connected to the upper ends of the studs. Both the mounting base plate and the connecting plate have openings at their centers for the radar level gauge to pass through. The connecting plate has multiple through holes for the upper ends of the studs to pass through, and adjusting nuts located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate are fitted onto the studs. The connecting plate also has bolt holes for connecting to the radar level gauge mounting flange.

[0009] The support frame is installed at the opening on the top of the storage tank using angle steel; the drive unit can drive the moving end of the sliding component to move laterally, thereby driving the vertical plate to move laterally; after the radar level gauge is connected to the connecting plate through its mounting flange, the bolt holes of the two are aligned and the bolts are screwed in to fix it, completing the installation of the radar level gauge. The radar level gauge is suspended at the opening and does not affect its use; the adjusting nuts on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate can adjust the height position of the connecting plate on the studs, adjust the levelness of the connecting plate, and ensure the detection accuracy; the lateral movement of the vertical plate can drive the mounting base installed on it to move laterally, thereby adjusting the position of the radar level gauge installed on the mounting base.

[0010] Furthermore, the support frame includes two parallel crossbeams and a longitudinal beam connecting the two crossbeams; the lower end faces of both crossbeams are provided with diagonal braces.

[0011] Two horizontal beams and two vertical beams form a rectangular frame structure for the support frame, and two diagonal braces are added to optimize the structural stability of the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a bearing seat fixed to the end of the crossbeam, a lead screw connected to the bearing seat and horizontally disposed above the crossbeam, a lead screw nut sleeved on the lead screw, and a short shaft connected to the two lead screws at both ends via couplings; the two ends of the vertical plate are respectively fixed to the lead screw nuts of the two sliding assemblies; the driving device drives the lead screw to rotate.

[0013] The drive unit drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw nut moves laterally along the lead screw, which in turn moves the vertical plate laterally, thereby causing the mounting base and radar level gauge to move laterally.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving device is a drive motor or a rotating handwheel connected to the lead screw via a coupling.

[0015] The drive device can be a drive motor or a handwheel, which can be manually turned to adjust the position of the radar level gauge.

[0016] Furthermore, two stiffening plates are fixed to one vertical side of the upright plate, and the lower end face of the mounting base plate is mounted on the two stiffening plates.

[0017] The base plate is horizontal, and the upright plate is vertical; the two are vertically connected by stiffening plates.

[0018] Furthermore, the mounting base plate has three threaded holes evenly spaced along the circumference of the opening; there are three studs, and the lower ends of the three studs are respectively screwed into the three threaded holes.

[0019] The studs are fully threaded. After being screwed into the threaded holes, the studs are spot-welded to secure them. The three studs exposed on the mounting base plate are of the same length.

[0020] Furthermore, the connecting plate has three through holes evenly spaced along the circumference of the opening; the upper ends of the three studs are respectively inserted into the three through holes, and the connecting plate is fixed by two adjusting nuts corresponding to each stud.

[0021] Furthermore, the connecting plate has a plurality of bolt holes evenly distributed along the circumference of the opening and inside the through hole for bolt connection with the radar level gauge mounting flange.

[0022] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam is provided with a limiting block, the height of which is not lower than the height of the mounting base plate.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the mounting bracket for the radar level gauge described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] (1) The mounting bracket for the radar level gauge described in this utility model is connected to the storage tank through the support frame, and the radar level gauge is fixed by the mounting base. The position of the mounting base and the radar level gauge is adjusted by the sliding component. It can be used for the installation of radar level gauges in large open storage tanks, storage tanks without a central maintenance platform and other similar occasions. It is convenient for debugging and maintenance.

[0025] (2) The mounting bracket for the radar level gauge described in this utility model has a simple and reasonable structural design. The support frame can be installed at the open top of the storage tank by angle steel. After the radar level gauge is connected to the connecting plate through its mounting flange, the bolt holes of the two are aligned and the bolts are screwed in to fix it, thus completing the installation of the radar level gauge. The installation is convenient, and the radar level gauge is suspended at the opening without affecting its use. The adjusting nuts on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate can adjust the height position of the connecting plate on the stud, adjust the levelness of the connecting plate, and ensure the detection accuracy. The driving device can drive the vertical plate to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting base and the radar level gauge on it. The operation is convenient, and the position of the radar level gauge can be adjusted adaptively according to the actual situation on site. Attached Figure Description
