Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material level gauges for silos, specifically a material level gauge for silos that is easy to disassemble, assemble, and maintain. Background Technology

[0002] In many fields such as industrial production, silos are important facilities for storing various materials. As a key device for accurately measuring the height of materials in silos and obtaining material level information in real time, level gauges play an indispensable role in realizing automated production processes, ensuring production continuity, optimizing material management, and improving production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, some existing silo level gauges are cumbersome to disassemble and reassemble during maintenance. Operators often need to use a variety of complex tools and spend a lot of time and energy to disassemble numerous screws, clips and other connecting parts, resulting in low maintenance efficiency, delaying normal production, and frequent complex disassembly and reassembly operations may also lead to damage or loss of parts, increasing equipment maintenance costs.

[0004] Meanwhile, some existing silo level gauges are prone to material residue inside the silo. If the damage on the outer surface of the level gauge is not cleaned in time after removal, it will be covered by the material, making it inconvenient to carry out maintenance. In addition, if it is transported to the cleaning area for cleaning, the level gauge may be damaged by collision during transportation, which will increase the maintenance time.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a silo level gauge for easy disassembly and maintenance includes a silo body 1. A first fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the silo body 1. An RF level gauge 3 is installed on the inner surface of the top of the silo body 1. The RF level gauge 3 can monitor the material height in real time within the silo body 1, thus facilitating production. A housing 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the silo body 1. A disassembly and assembly mechanism 5 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 4, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the RF level gauge 3. Through the cooperation of the disassembly and assembly mechanism 5 and the first fixing plate 2, the RF level gauge 3 can be easily disassembled and assembled without the need for multiple tools, thus preventing the loss or damage of parts due to cumbersome disassembly and assembly, preventing economic losses, and improving maintenance efficiency, enabling production to resume quickly and normally. A connecting plate 6 is installed at the bottom of the disassembly and assembly mechanism 5, and a RF level gauge is installed on one side of the connecting plate 6. The cleaning sleeve 7 for cleaning the level gauge 3 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has an extremely low dielectric constant, resulting in minimal interference with the penetration and reflection of radio frequency signals. This does not weaken the measurement sensitivity of the RF level gauge 3. Furthermore, its strong anti-adhesion properties and extremely low surface tension prevent common adhesive materials in the silo, such as flour, cement, asphalt, feed, and chemical adhesives, from adhering. The surface of the cleaning sleeve 7 is not prone to material accumulation, facilitating cleaning. The disassembly and assembly mechanism 5 simultaneously moves the connecting plate 6 and the cleaning sleeve 7 up and down on the outer surface of the RF level gauge 3's detection point within the silo for cleaning. Cleaning can be performed during disassembly and assembly, facilitating direct maintenance without the need for transport to a cleaning area. This not only prevents collision damage during transport but also reduces maintenance time, preventing any impact on production efficiency.

[0023] The disassembly / assembly mechanism 5 includes a threaded rod 501 rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 4. A threaded plate 502 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 501. A slidable plate 503 is slidably connected to one side of the threaded plate 502. Springs 504 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the other side of the slidable plate 503. A second fixing plate 505 is fixedly connected to the other side of the spring 504. A handle 506 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 501. The other side of the spring 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the housing 4. The top of the threaded rod 501 passes through the top of the housing 4 and is rotatably connected to its inner wall. The threaded plate 502... A first guide block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the box body 4. A first guide groove 9 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the box body 4. The outer surface of the first guide block 8 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the first guide groove 9. A bearing seat is rotatably connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 501, and the other side of the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 4. A second guide block 10 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inclined plate 503. A second guide groove 11 is provided at the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 4. The outer surface of the second guide block 10 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the second guide groove 11. Through the disassembly and assembly mechanism 5, the operator rotates the handle 50. 6 drives the threaded rod 501 to rotate, causing the threaded plate 502 to slide on one side of the inclined plate 503. This releases the pressure on the spring 504. The elasticity of the spring 504 then moves the second fixing plate 505 to one side, releasing the fixation on the RF level gauge 3. This allows the RF level gauge 3 to be easily pulled out and removed. During installation, the RF level gauge 3 is inserted into the mounting hole of the hopper body 1. Then, the reverse handle 506 drives the threaded rod 501 to reverse, causing the threaded plate 502 to slide to the other side, applying pressure to the inclined plate 503 and the spring 504. The inclined plate 503 then moves the second fixing plate 505 to the other side. The lateral movement is achieved by fixing the radio frequency level gauge 3 to the first fixed plate 2, thus enabling disassembly and maintenance. The first guide block 8 and the first guide groove 9 allow the threaded plate 502 to move up and down, making it more stable during the movement. The bearings support the rotation of the threaded rod 501, reducing friction during rotation and making it more stable. The second guide block 10 and the second guide groove 11 limit the movement of the inclined plate 503, making its movement more stable and preventing the spring 504 from shifting in angle.

[0024] It is worth noting that the technical features such as the radio frequency level gauge 3 proposed in this technical solution should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, control method and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be selected using conventional methods in this field. This technical solution will not elaborate further.

[0025] Working principle: First, the operator rotates the handle 506, which drives the threaded rod 501 to rotate. The threaded rod 501 drives the threaded plate 502 to slide on one side of the inclined plate 503, which can release the pressure on the spring 504. The elasticity of the spring 504 drives the second fixing plate 505 to move to one side, which releases the fixation on the RF level gauge 3, making it easy to pull out and remove the RF level gauge 3 directly. During installation, the RF level gauge 3 is inserted into the mounting hole of the silo body 1. Then, the handle 506 is reversed to drive the threaded rod 501 to reverse, which drives the threaded plate 502 to slide to the other side, applying pressure to the inclined plate 503 and the spring 504. The inclined plate 503 drives the second fixing plate 505 to move to the other side, and fixes the RF level gauge 3 through the first fixing plate 2, which can facilitate disassembly and assembly. At the same time as disassembly and assembly, the threaded plate 502 drives the connecting plate 6 to move up and down. The connecting plate 6 drives the cleaning sleeve 7 to move up and down on the outer surface of the RF level gauge 3 detection point in the silo for cleaning.
