[0028] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This invention effectively solves the problem of economic losses caused by the float level switch in the sump getting stuck in the corner of the submersible pump, pipe support, pipe clamps, or entangled with objects such as pump wires, preventing the submersible pump from working properly. It has the advantages of being easy to use, sturdy and durable, and having high turnover efficiency.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A protective device for a float level switch of a submersible sewage pump includes a first channel steel (5#) 1, a second channel steel (8#) 2, a flat steel 3, an angle steel bracket 4, a vertical steel pad 5, a horizontal steel pad 6, a small U-shaped retaining ring 7, a large U-shaped retaining ring 8, a steel pipe (40mm) 9, a pipe clamp 10, a screw 11, a first PVC pipe (Ф250mm) 12, a second PVC pipe (Ф300mm) 13, a water passage hole 14, a water passage mesh 15, a bolt 16, a nut 17, a horizontal brace 18, a vertical brace 19, a stainless steel clamp 20, and a wire passage hole 21.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, holes are made at 50mm intervals on the sides of the first channel steel (5#) 1 and the second channel steel (8#) 2. Angle steel brackets 4 are welded to the long side of the top of the first channel steel (5#). Vertical steel pads 5 are welded to the bottom of the second channel steel (8#). The first channel steel (5#) is embedded back-to-back into the second channel steel (8#). After adjusting the overall height of the channel steel according to the depth of the sump, bolts 16 are inserted through the holes on both sides of the channel steel, and nuts 17 are tightened to fix it.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, pipe clamps 10 are installed at both ends of the steel pipe (40mm) 9. One end of the screw rod 11 is welded to the horizontal steel pad 6, and the other end is screwed into the steel pipe (40mm) 9 through the pipe clamps 10.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, flat steel bars are welded to the back of the long sides of the first channel steel (5#) and the second channel steel (8#) at 1 / 3 and 3 / 2 of their lengths, respectively. Ф12 holes are drilled at both ends of the flat steel bars. The clear distance between the two holes on the first channel steel (5#) is Ф250, and the clear distance between the two holes on the second channel steel (8#) is Ф300. The horizontal brace 18 is then placed inside the angle steel bracket 4 at the top of the vertical brace 19, thus completing the installation of the device frame.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, water passage holes 14 with a diameter of Ф12 are made on the walls of the first PVC pipe (Ф250mm) 12 and the second PVC pipe (Ф300mm) 13 at 60mm intervals. The lower end of the first PVC pipe (Ф250mm) 12 and the upper end of the second PVC pipe (Ф300mm) 13 are connected by a water passage mesh 15 and then fixed with stainless steel clamps to prevent the water passage mesh from falling off the PVC pipe.

[0036] The channel steel has symmetrical holes on both sides to facilitate the passage of bolts. The flat steel is welded to the back of the channel steel, and the angle steel is welded to the top of the channel steel. The U-shaped retaining ring passes through the two holes on both sides of the flat steel and is fixed to the PVC pipe with a nut. The steel plates are placed on both sides and the bottom of the device to support the device frame.

[0037] The channel steels are one size different, which makes it easy to insert the smaller channel steel into the larger channel steel with the smaller one facing. Both the large and small channel steels have symmetrical holes on both sides, which makes it easy to fix the frame with bolts when it is extended or retracted.

[0038] The PVC pipes are punched with water passage holes at fixed intervals, with a difference of one size between them. This allows the smaller PVC pipe to be easily inserted into the larger PVC pipe when the device frame is extended or retracted. The PVC pipes of different sizes are connected by a water passage mesh.

[0039] The steel pipe is connected to pipe clamps at both ends and then screw rods are inserted to control the width of the sump and fix the frame of the device.

[0040] The flat steel has holes on both sides to facilitate the passage of the U-shaped retaining ring. The spacing between the holes should be determined according to the size of the U-shaped retaining ring.

[0041] The angle steel is welded to the top of the channel steel and is used to support the cross bracing of the device frame.

[0042] Because the sump pit is constantly filled with water and is quite damp, all metal parts must be coated with anti-rust paint to ensure that the iron parts of the device do not rust.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] A protective device for a float level switch of a submersible sewage pump, the installation method of which is as follows:

[0045] Step 1: Adjust the length of the vertical support 19 according to the depth of the sump pit, and then install bolts 16 to fix it.

[0046] Step 2: After adjusting the length of the two PVC pipes through the water-passing net 15, use U-shaped clips to vertically fix the two PVC pipes to the flat steel on the vertical support 19. After completion, place the vertical steel pad face down into the pit.

[0047] Step 3: Next, according to the width of the sump, place the horizontal support 18 horizontally into the angle steel bracket 4 at the top of the vertical support, and then adjust and fix the horizontal steel pads 6 at both ends to the well wall by rotating and turning the screws at both ends.

[0048] Step 4: Considering the large amount of silt in the sump, the bottom edge of the second PVC pipe (Ф300mm) 13 should be 20cm from the bottom of the sump during installation to ensure that silt does not accumulate inside the protective device. The top edge of the first PVC pipe (Ф250mm) 12 should be 10cm from the sump cover.

[0049] Step 5: Place the float level switch inside the protection device, determine the water level start and stop height of the submersible sewage pump according to the design requirements, and adjust the range of motion of the float level switch and the cable length. The cable terminal passes through the wire hole 21 reserved in the pipe plug at the upper end of the device and is led to the water pump control box through the electrical conduit.

[0050] The above detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.
