Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid density measurement technology, and in particular to a glass float clamping, placing and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] A glass float gauge is an instrument that floats vertically in a liquid, directly measuring the liquid's density, relative density, or solution concentration by the depth to which it is submerged. It is commonly used to measure alcohol content, sugar content, soil density, and petroleum density. In power system testing laboratories, glass float gauges are frequently used to measure the density of lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and other oils, or to measure the density change of oil before and after aeration. Current glass float gauge holders can fix the glass float in place within the tube, protecting it. However, due to the container used in the oil testing process, gripping the glass float is inconvenient. When measuring a certain volume of oil or other liquid in a tubular glass container, manual gripping is not possible; furthermore, the surface of the glass float is often covered with solution after removal, making placement difficult; and the inability to mark the float leads to confusion when using multiple floats during testing. Therefore, there is no suitable gripping device during or after glass float testing. Additionally, improper cleaning methods can easily damage the glass float.

[0003] How to provide a glass float clamping, placement, and cleaning device that can smoothly clamp and effectively clean the glass float in confined spaces is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0007] A cleaning assembly; which is detachably connected to the clamping assembly; after the clamping assembly completes the clamping of the glass float, it is used to clean the glass float.

[0008] In some embodiments, the clamping member further includes a spring-loaded pusher; the spring-loaded pusher is slidably connected to the housing; and the rubber ball is squeezed and deformed when it slides relative to the housing.

[0009] In some embodiments, the spring-loaded actuator includes a cylinder body and a spring-loaded button; the spring-loaded button is disposed at one end of the cylinder body and located outside the housing; the cylinder body extends into the housing and is located above the rubber ball.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Rather, the embodiments of this utility model include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0027] See Figure 3 The present invention proposes a glass float 1 clamping, placing and cleaning device, comprising: a clamping component and a cleaning component; wherein the clamping component includes a housing 2 and a clamping member; the clamping member includes a rubber ball 3 located at one end inside the housing 2, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the rubber ball 3; one end of the glass float 1 extends into the through hole, and the rubber ball 3 is squeezed and deformed to make close contact with the glass float 1 for clamping the glass float 1.

[0028] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in the related technology, the upper main tube of the glass float gauge 1 is a slender cylindrical tube with a sealed top and uniform diameter. The body is a hollow cylinder with a conical or hemispherical bottom. The lower part is a compression chamber made of glass partitions or other structures, filled with ballast material. Due to the influence of the container used in the oil detection process, it is inconvenient to clamp the main tube during use of the glass float gauge 1. The application scenario is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, when measuring a certain volume of oil or other liquid in a tubular glass container, the glass float 1 cannot be manually clamped directly.

[0029] The clamping assembly of this application includes a housing 2 and a clamping component; the clamping component includes a rubber ball 3 that is easily deformable after being squeezed, wherein the rubber ball 3 in this embodiment is disposed inside the housing 2 and located at one end of the housing 2, and a through hole is provided through its middle part, that is, the through hole makes the rubber ball 3 an open ring structure at both ends. The diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the main tube of the glass float 1. When the main tube of the glass float 1 is inserted into the through hole, the rubber ball 3 is squeezed to deform it, so that the deformed rubber ball 3 is in close contact with the glass float 1, thereby clamping the glass float 1.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the rubber ball 3 is made of fluororubber and is located inside the housing 2 at one end of the housing 2. A through hole is provided in its middle. When it is necessary to clamp the glass float 1, the main tube of the glass float 1 is inserted into the through hole. By squeezing the rubber ball 3 towards the rubber ball 3, it deforms along the housing 2, causing the deformed rubber ball 3 to make tight contact with the glass float 1, thus clamping the glass float 1 as shown. Figure 5 As shown. In this application, the rubber ball 3 is made of fluororubber, which has good elasticity and corrosion resistance, avoiding damage to the main tube of the glass float 1, while firmly clamping the glass float 1, so that the glass float 1 can be easily retrieved even in the narrow space of the container during the oil detection process.

[0031] The cleaning component and the clamping component are detachably connected; after the clamping component completes the clamping of the glass float 1, it is used to clean the glass float 1.

[0032] The cleaning component and the clamping component are detachably connected. After the clamping component completes the clamping of the glass float 1, it can be connected to the cleaning component, and the cleaning component can be used to clean the glass float 1 on the clamping component. This application provides a glass float 1 clamping, placing and cleaning device, which enables the smooth clamping of the glass float 1 in narrow spaces and the effective cleaning of the glass float 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, the clamping member further includes a spring-loaded pusher; the spring-loaded pusher is slidably connected to the housing 2; and the rubber ball 3 is squeezed and deformed when it slides relative to the housing 2.

[0034] The clamping component also includes a spring-loaded pusher, which comprises a cylinder 4 and a spring-loaded pusher 5. The spring-loaded pusher 5 is located at one end of the cylinder 4 and outside the housing 2. The cylinder 4 extends into the housing 2 and is located above the rubber ball 3. In this application, the cylinder 4 and the spring-loaded pusher 5 are integrally formed and are slidably connected to the housing 2. When it is necessary to clamp the glass float 1, the dry tube of the glass float 1 is inserted into the through hole, and the spring-loaded pusher 5 is pressed towards the rubber ball 3. The spring-loaded pusher 5 drives the cylinder 4 to squeeze the rubber ball 3 towards the rubber ball 3, causing it to deform along the housing 2, thereby clamping the glass float 1.

[0035] Examples such as Figure 4 The spring-loaded button 5 is located at the upper end of the cylinder body 4. The cylinder body 4 extends into the housing 2 and is located above the rubber ball 3. The cylinder body 4 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow hole in the middle, and its end facing the rubber ball 3 is open. The diameter of the hollow hole does not exceed the diameter of the through hole. When it is necessary to clamp the glass float 1, the dry tube of the glass float 1 is inserted into the through hole, and the spring-loaded button 5 is pressed. The spring-loaded button 5 drives the cylinder body 4 to squeeze the rubber ball 3 in the direction of the rubber ball 3.

[0036] Furthermore, after the clamping component completes the clamping of the glass float 1, the spring-loaded button 5 reaches the designated position and can be snapped onto the housing 2, allowing the rubber ball 3 to continuously clamp the glass float 1 until the glass float 1 is cleaned and dried. At this point, the spring-loaded button 5 can be released from the snap-fit ​​at the designated position on the housing 2, and the rubber ball 3 will also return to its original state due to its own spring force.

[0037] In some embodiments, a placement card 6 is provided at the outer end of the housing 2 away from the rubber ball 3 for detachably connecting the cleaning assembly.

[0038] The housing 2 has a placement card 6 on its exterior, located at the end furthest from the rubber ball 3, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the placement card 6 is a protruding block, which is opposite to the spring push button 5, and can be snapped together with the cleaning component to fix the clamping component that has completed the clamping of the glass float 1 onto the cleaning component.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly includes a placement rack 7 and a cleaning tank 8; the placement rack 7 is slidably connected to the cleaning tank 8 and is used to place the clamping assembly or to immerse the glass float 1 on the clamping assembly into the cleaning tank 8 for cleaning.

[0040] The cleaning assembly includes a placement rack 7 and a cleaning tank 8. The cleaning tank 8 is an open-top structure with a certain volume. It contains cleaning fluid and is equipped with multiple cleaning rollers 11. Figure 3 The placement rack 7 is slidably connected to the cleaning tank 8. The placement rack 7 includes multiple slots 9, each corresponding to a clamping component. Each slot 9 is marked with a code 10 to identify the glass float 1 on the clamping component. The cleaning roller brush 11 is a mechanical soft-bristled roller brush, arranged in an array within the cleaning tank 8 as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the glass floats 1 inserted into the cleaning tank 8 can be cleaned by rotating the cleaning roller brush 11, and multiple glass floats 1 can be cleaned at the same time.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the clamping component completes the clamping of the glass float 1, it is placed in the slot 9 of the placement frame 7. The placement frame 7 is slidably connected to the cleaning tank 8. The placement frame 7 descends to immerse the glass float 1 in the cleaning tank 8. The glass float 1 is cleaned using cleaning fluid and cleaning roller brush 11. After the glass float 1 is cleaned, the placement frame 7 is raised, the glass float 1 is allowed to air dry naturally, and the glass float 1 is placed for storage. When an external force collides with it, the glass float 1 is extremely difficult to be damaged.
