Industrial explosion-proof liquid level measuring instruments, as core monitoring equipment, can operate stably in hazardous environments containing flammable and explosive gases, dust, or corrosive media. Through different technical principles such as magnetostrictive induction, radar, and ultrasound, they can achieve real-time capture and feedback of liquid levels in storage tanks and containers, providing data support for continuous industrial operations and safety management. In these scenarios, liquid level gauges are key devices that undertake this core measurement function. In industrial environments with flammable and explosive risks, the requirements for the explosion-proof performance and measurement accuracy of liquid level gauges are extremely high. Therefore, there is a particular need for an explosion-proof magnetostrictive red-green dual-color liquid level gauge with adjustable brightness.

[0015] 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.
[0016] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an explosion-proof magnetostrictive red-green dual-color liquid level gauge with adjustable brightness, including an explosion-proof housing 1, a liquid level display mechanism 2 is provided inside the explosion-proof housing 1, a connecting pipe 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the explosion-proof housing 1, and a magnetic float 4 is embedded inside the connecting pipe 3. The liquid level display mechanism 2 includes a scale bar 201, an explosion-proof power supply 202, a recess 203, a transparent explosion-proof glass 204, a magnetic induction element 205, an LED red-green dual-color display screen 206, a signal detection reed switch 207, and an LED dual-color light-emitting diode 208. The scale bar 201 is connected to the surface of the explosion-proof housing 1. The explosion-proof power supply 202 is connected to one side of the surface of the explosion-proof housing 1. The recess 203 is formed on the surface of the explosion-proof housing 1. The transparent explosion-proof glass 204 is fixedly installed on the display surface of the explosion-proof housing 1. The magnetic induction element 205 and the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206 are embedded inside the explosion-proof housing 1. The signal detection reed switch 207 is connected to the surface of the magnetic induction element 205. The LED dual-color light-emitting diode 208 is connected to the surface of the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206. The explosion-proof power supply 202 is part of the explosion-proof housing. The electronic components inside 1 provide a safe and stable power supply. First, the magnetic float 4 in the connecting tube 3 moves up and down with the liquid level. When it moves to a certain position, the signal detection reed switch 207 on the magnetic induction element 205, which is embedded in the groove 203 of the explosion-proof housing 1 and is flush with that position, will be attracted by the magnetic force and close the integrated gate circuit. Since the signal detection reed switch 207 is connected in series with the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208, after the gate circuit is closed, the corresponding LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 on the LED red and green dual-color display screen 206 will light up. The upper part of the liquid level is red and the lower part is green. The operator can observe the red and green light-emitting tube boundary emitted by the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 through the transparent explosion-proof glass 204. Combined with the scale bar 201 on the surface of the explosion-proof housing 1, the liquid level height can be clearly and intuitively read. The brightness of the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0017] Furthermore, the magnetic induction element 205 is embedded inside the groove 203, and the signal detection reed switch 207 is distributed in multiple groups at equal intervals. Through the setting of the signal detection reed switch 207, when in use, the signal detection reed switch 207 can be attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic float 4, thereby closing the integrated gate circuit and providing a signal trigger for lighting up the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208.
[0018] Furthermore, the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206 is embedded inside the groove 203. The LED dual-color light-emitting tubes 208 are distributed in multiple groups at equal intervals. With the setting of the LED dual-color light-emitting tubes 208, when in use, the LED dual-color light-emitting tubes 208 will light up accordingly after the gate circuit is closed, with red light above the liquid surface and green light below. The red and green color boundary intuitively indicates the liquid level position, and the brightness can also be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0019] Furthermore, the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206 is sealed with epoxy resin potting compound. The signal detection reed switch 207 and the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 are connected in series. Through the setting of the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206, when in use, the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206 is sealed with epoxy resin potting compound to enhance protection. The surface is connected to the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208, providing an installation base for the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208. The light-emitting unit is integrated to form a complete liquid level display interface.
[0020] Furthermore, the explosion-proof power supply 202 is an intrinsically safe power supply with adjustable voltage. The signal detection reed switch 207 works in conjunction with the magnetic float 4. Through the configuration of the explosion-proof power supply 202, during use, it can provide safe and stable power support to all electronic components within the explosion-proof enclosure 1, ensuring the normal operation of components in explosion-proof environments and avoiding safety risks caused by power supply issues. By adjusting the voltage, the brightness of the LED dual-color light-emitting diode 208 can be controlled. During installation and debugging, the brightness of the LED dual-color light-emitting diode 208 can be easily adjusted for convenient observation.
[0021] Furthermore, the explosion-proof enclosure 1 is made of stainless steel. With the setting of the explosion-proof enclosure 1, during use, the explosion-proof enclosure 1 can provide an installation carrier and protective enclosure for all internal components, with good explosion-proof performance and structural stability, protecting internal components from the influence of the external environment.
[0022] Working principle: The explosion-proof power supply 202 provides a safe and stable power supply to the electronic components inside the explosion-proof housing 1. First, the magnetic float 4 in the connecting tube 3 moves up and down with the liquid level. When it moves to a certain position, it will cause the signal detection reed switch 207 on the magnetic induction element 205, which is embedded in the groove 203 of the explosion-proof housing 1 and is flush with that position, to be attracted by the magnetic force and close the integrated gate circuit. Since the signal detection reed switch 207 is connected in series with the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208, after the gate circuit is closed, the corresponding LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 on the LED red-green dual-color display screen 206 will light up. The upper part of the liquid level is red and the lower part is green. The operator can observe the red and green light-emitting tube boundary emitted by the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 through the transparent explosion-proof glass 204. Combined with the scale bar 201 on the surface of the explosion-proof housing 1, the liquid level height can be clearly and intuitively read. The brightness of the LED dual-color light-emitting tube 208 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
