Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pollution detection probe technology, and in particular to a water pollution detection probe with an automatic cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of water pollution detection, the detection probe is a key component for obtaining critical information about water bodies. Its detection accuracy and stability are directly related to the reliability and effectiveness of the entire water pollution monitoring system. However, in actual use, the detection probe faces many factors that affect its performance and lifespan, among which the problem of surface dirt adhesion is particularly prominent. Natural water bodies contain a large amount of impurities such as silt, algae, microorganisms, and various sediments. When the detection probe is immersed in water for a long time for detection work, these impurities will gradually adhere to the probe surface, causing the measurement results to be distorted, resulting in a shortened service life and increased replacement costs and maintenance workload.

[0003] To ensure the detection accuracy and normal operation of the detection probe, it is essential to clean it regularly. However, traditional cleaning methods often have many drawbacks. For example, the current traditional cleaning method is to rinse the detection probe directly with a tap. Although this rinsing method can remove easily cleaned substances such as mud and algae from the surface of the detection probe, it cannot completely remove stubborn dirt such as sediments because they are tightly attached to the surface of the detection probe. At the same time, it is difficult to ensure the comprehensiveness and uniformity of the cleaning, and there will be blind spots in the cleaning.

[0004] Therefore, developing an automatic cleaning device that can effectively guarantee the cleaning effect is of great significance for improving the performance and service life of water pollution detection probes and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of water pollution monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a water pollution detection probe with an automatic cleaning function.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A water pollution detection probe with automatic cleaning function includes a detection probe body and a transmission line. The transmission line is electrically connected to the top of the detection probe body. A mounting shell is fixed to the top of the detection probe body by a mounting component. An elastic band is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the mounting shell. An intermediate ring is fixed to the bottom of the elastic band, and a wiping cotton is adhered to the inner surface of the intermediate ring. A fixing plate is welded to the periphery of the intermediate ring. A spray mechanism for cleaning the side of the detection probe body is installed on the fixing plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the mounting component includes a fixing ring and a collar, the fixing ring being fixed to the top of the detection probe body, and the collar being integrally formed on the inner wall of the top of the mounting shell.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the collar is a hollow structure, and the outer circumference of the collar and the inner circumference of the fixing ring are threaded together.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the spraying mechanism includes a conveying component and a spray nozzle component, and the spray nozzle component and the conveying component are connected by an input hose.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the nozzle component includes a water inlet tray and a nozzle. The nozzle is fixed to the inner wall of a through hole on the surface of the fixing plate by an embedding method, and the water inlet tray is welded to the top of the nozzle. One end of the input hose is fixed to the side of the water inlet tray.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the conveying component includes a connecting hose and a micro water pump, wherein the output end of the micro water pump and the end of the input hose away from the water inlet plate are fixedly connected.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the connecting hose is fixed to the input end of the micro water pump.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a water inlet head is fixed at the end of the connecting hose away from the micro water pump.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a water pollution detection probe with automatic cleaning function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. During cleaning, the operator pulls down the middle ring, and the elastic band deforms to wipe the outer wall of the detection probe body with the wiping cotton. At the same time, the spray mechanism sprays water onto the outer wall to clean the wiping cotton. The wiping cotton and water work together to ensure the cleaning effect and can more thoroughly remove dirt from the probe surface.

[0017] 2. The mounting shell and the detection probe body are connected by a fixing ring and a collar thread, which can be easily disassembled and assembled. This reduces redundancy in the detection of water pollution. After the detection is completed, the probe body can be installed for cleaning. The detection probe body is preferably cylindrical. When the fixing plate and the middle ring move up and down, they can rotate along their outer circumference. The spray head can spray different positions on the outer wall of the probe, avoiding dead corners in the spray cleaning.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] A water pollution detection probe with automatic cleaning function, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a detection probe body 1 and a transmission line 4. The transmission line 4 is electrically connected to the top of the detection probe body 1. The top of the detection probe body 1 is fixed with a mounting shell 5 by a mounting component. An elastic band 15 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the mounting shell 5. An intermediate ring 13 is fixed to the bottom of the elastic band 15. A wiping cotton 14 is adhered to the inner surface of the intermediate ring 13. A fixing plate 10 is welded to the periphery of the intermediate ring 13. A spraying mechanism for cleaning the side of the detection probe body 1 is installed on the fixing plate 10.

[0026] In use, the end of the transmission line 4 furthest from the main body of the detection probe 1 is first connected to the detection instrument (not shown) through a connector. The main body of the detection probe 1 uses specific sensors such as optical sensors to detect turbidity, dissolved oxygen sensors to measure oxygen content, and electrochemical sensors to measure the concentration of heavy metals and organic matter, etc., to sense changes in the physical or chemical parameters related to the target pollutants in the water, and converts them into electrical signals. After circuit processing and calibration, the pollutant concentration is displayed in the form of intuitive numerical values ​​or indicators, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of water pollution. The principle is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0027] After completing water pollution detection, the surface of the detection probe body 1 needs to be cleaned. The purpose of cleaning is that mud, algae, microorganisms and sediments contained in the water will gradually adhere to the surface of the detection probe body 1. This will not only hinder its accurate perception of pollutants in the water sample, leading to deviations in measurement data, but may also corrode the detection probe body 1, affecting its performance and service life. Therefore, regular cleaning is required to ensure detection accuracy and normal operation of the probe.

[0028] When cleaning the probe body 1 is required, firstly, the mounting shell 5 is fixed to the top of the probe body 1 using the mounting hardware. After the mounting shell 5 is fixed, the operator pulls the intermediate ring 13 down along the fixing plate 10. During this process, the elastic band 15 is stretched and undergoes elastic deformation. As the intermediate ring 13 moves downward, the wiping cotton 14 performs preliminary cleaning of the outer wall of the probe body 1 by wiping. The wiping cotton 14 can ensure that a certain pressure is applied to the outer wall of the probe body 1 while avoiding scratches on the probe body 1. During the cleaning process, a spray mechanism is used to spray the outer wall of the probe body 1. The device performs water spray cleaning, utilizing the interaction between the wiping cotton 14 and water to ensure a thorough cleaning of the outer wall of the detection probe body 1. After cleaning, the elastic band 15's rebound force causes the intermediate ring 13 and the wiping cotton 14 to reset. Simultaneously, the mounting component allows for the disassembly and assembly of the mounting shell 5 and the detection probe body 1. This allows the device to be used independently during water pollution detection of the detection probe body 1. After water pollution detection of the detection probe body 1 is completed, the mounting shell 5 is installed between the mounting component and the detection probe body 1 to achieve cleaning of the detection probe body 1, reducing redundancy during water pollution detection of the detection probe body 1.

[0029] The mounting component includes a fixing ring 9 and a collar 12. The fixing ring 9 is fixed to the top of the detection probe body 1, and the collar 12 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the top of the mounting shell 5. The collar 12 has a hollow structure and the outer circumference of the collar 12 and the inner circumference of the fixing ring 9 are threaded together.

[0030] When it is necessary to fix the mounting shell 5 and the detection probe body 1, first insert the collar 12 along the end of the transmission line 4 away from the detection probe body 1, and then fix the collar 12 and the fixing ring 9 by rotating them through the thread.

[0031] The spraying mechanism includes a conveying component and a nozzle component. The nozzle component and the conveying component are connected by an input hose 2. The nozzle component includes a water inlet plate 6 and a nozzle 11. The nozzle 11 is fixed to the inner wall of a through hole on the surface of the fixing plate 10 by embedding. The water inlet plate 6 is welded to the top of the nozzle 11. One end of the input hose 2 is fixed to the side of the water inlet plate 6. The conveying component includes a connecting hose 7 and a micro water pump 8. The output end of the micro water pump 8 and the end of the input hose 2 away from the water inlet plate 6 are fixedly connected. The connecting hose 7 is fixed to the input end of the micro water pump 8, and a water inlet head 3 is fixed to the end of the connecting hose 7 away from the micro water pump 8.

[0032] When the outer wall of the detection probe body 1 needs to be cleaned by spraying, the water inlet head 3 and the connecting hose 7 can be inserted into a water tank or other water storage container. When the micro water pump 8 is started, it can transport and pressurize the water. After being transported, the water enters the water inlet tray 6 through the input hose 2, and finally sprays onto the outer wall of the detection probe body 1 through the nozzle 11. At the same time, since the fixing plate 10 and the mounting shell 5 are connected by the elastic band 15, the nozzle 11 can spray different heights of the outer wall of the detection probe body 1 as the fixing plate 10 slides along the outer wall of the detection probe body 1. In this embodiment, the detection probe body 1 is preferably a cylindrical structure. Therefore, while the fixing plate 10 and the intermediate ring 13 move up and down along the detection probe body 1, they can also rotate along the circumferential outer wall of the detection probe body 1, so that the nozzle 11 can spray different positions in the circumferential direction of the detection probe body 1, avoiding dead corners in the spraying cleaning.

[0033] Working principle: During cleaning, insert the collar 12 into the fixing ring 9 and rotate the screw thread to fix the mounting shell 5. Then, pull down the middle ring 13 and the elastic band 15 deforms. The wiping cotton 14 performs a preliminary wiping on the outer wall of the detection probe body 1. At the same time, after inserting the water inlet head 3 and the connecting hose 7 into the water storage container, start the micro water pump 8. Water is sprayed by the nozzle 11 through the connecting hose 7, the input hose 2, and the water inlet plate 6, which, together with the wiping cotton 14, achieves cleaning. During this process, the fixing plate 10 can slide and rotate along the detection probe body 1, so that the nozzle 11 sprays different positions on the surface of the detection probe body 1 to avoid cleaning dead corners.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
