Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material level detection technology, and more specifically, to a material level detection device for a softening treatment system using seed crystals as carriers. Background Technology

[0002] Crystallization granulation softening technology involves adding chemical agents and seed crystals to water, causing a chemical reaction between Ca²⁺ and CaCO₃ crystals. These crystals adhere to the surface of the seed crystals, and the resulting calcium carbonate particles grow to a certain size before being discharged from the equipment. This reduces water hardness without producing byproducts, and the discharged particles are recyclable. The crystallization granulation cylinder equipment is sequentially configured with a water distribution zone, a chemical distribution zone, a granulation zone, and a clear water zone. Ions in the water undergo chemical crystallization and granulation during flow. The resulting particles settle to the bottom in the fluidized zone and are finally discharged from the particle discharge pipe.

[0003] Common softening systems using seed crystals as carriers can only detect the height of the material level through designated sensors, but lack the function of physical height measurement. In practical applications, due to the adhesive properties of the seed crystals after contact with the liquid and water, dirt easily accumulates on the transmitting or receiving surfaces of contact or non-contact sensors, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the measurement after long-term use. This requires frequent maintenance and cleaning, ultimately leading to a decrease in the softening effect of crystallization and granulation.

[0004] In summary, to achieve the desired softening effect during crystallization and granulation, it is necessary to address the issue of decreased sensor measurement accuracy. This would allow material levels to be detected through physical height measurement, preventing sensors from becoming contaminated and thus ensuring accurate material quantity measurement.

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0022] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 5A material level height detection device for a softening treatment system using seed crystals as carriers includes a cylinder 1. The surface of the cylinder 1 is provided with a height measuring scale 11. A sliding rod 12 is slidably connected to the upper end of the cylinder 1. A connecting plate 13 is installed at the top of the sliding rod 12. A side-height arc plate 14 is installed on the surface of the connecting plate 13, and the surface of the side-height arc plate 14 is in contact with the cylinder 1. A height measuring float 15 is installed at the bottom end of the sliding rod 12. A water-passing groove 16 is formed on the surface of the height measuring float 15. A reset mechanism is provided on the cylinder 1. The lifting end of the reset mechanism is connected to the connecting plate 13. The reset mechanism is used to control the lifting and lowering movement of the height measuring float 15. A feeding mechanism is provided on the cylinder 1. The input end of the feeding mechanism is connected to an external feeding device. The feeding mechanism is used to add material into the cylinder 1. A discharge assembly is provided on the cylinder 1. The output end of the discharge assembly is connected to an external storage device. The discharge assembly is used to discharge the material inside the cylinder 1.

[0023] It should be noted that the height measuring float 15 is rigidly connected to the sliding rod 12. When the winding drum 212 unwinds the connecting rope 214, the height measuring float 15 will slide downwards due to gravity until it comes into contact with the material. At this time, the height measuring float 15 will drive the side height arc plate 14 to slide along the height measuring scale 11 through the sliding rod 12. The operator can directly read the scale value, realizing non-contact physical height measurement and completely avoiding the problem of sensor dirt.

[0024] It is worth noting that the water passage 16 allows water to flow through, so that when draining, the water can flow through the water passage 16 and be discharged through the outlet pipe 412.

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 4 The reset mechanism includes a winding assembly and a rope support assembly. The connecting end of the winding assembly is connected to the connecting plate 13, and the winding assembly is used to control the lifting and lowering movement of the connecting plate 13. The engaging end of the rope support assembly is connected to the winding assembly, and the rope support assembly is used to support the winding assembly.

[0026] It should be noted that the reset mechanism automatically raises the height measuring float 15 to its initial position after measurement, preventing it from being submerged in the material for a long time and reducing maintenance requirements.

[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 The winding assembly includes a base frame 211 mounted on the surface of the drum 1, a winding drum 212 mounted inside the base frame 211, a motor 213 mounted on the surface of the base frame 211, and a connecting rope 214 wound on the surface of the winding drum 212. The output end of the motor 213 is connected to the winding drum 212, and the motor 213 is used to control the rotational movement of the winding drum 212. The end of the connecting rope 214 away from the winding drum 212 is connected to the connecting plate 13.

[0028] It should be noted that the motor 213 drives the winding drum 212 to rotate, and pulls the connecting plate 13 through the connecting rope 214 to achieve precise lifting and lowering of the sliding rod 12, ensuring a smooth and reliable resetting process for the height measuring float 15.

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 The rope support assembly includes a top frame 221 installed on the upper end of the cylinder 1 and two rollers 222 installed on the upper end of the top frame 221, with the connecting rope 214 engaging with the rollers 222.

[0030] It should be noted that the roller 222 provides low-friction guidance, disperses the tension of the connecting rope 214, prevents rope wear or jamming, and extends the service life of the mechanism.

[0031] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 3 The feeding mechanism includes an injection component and a material support component. The input end of the injection component is connected to an external feeding device. The injection component is used to add material into the cylinder 1, and the material support component is used to support the material.

[0032] It should be noted that the feeding mechanism adds crystal nuclei, reagents and water in stages to ensure that the crystal nucleation reaction takes place efficiently on the crystal nucleus support plate 321.

[0033] It is worth noting that the layered injection of crystal nuclei and liquid reduces the risk of initial adhesion and ensures the initial accuracy of material level detection.

[0034] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 3 The injection assembly includes multiple support legs 311 installed at the lower end of the cylinder 1, a water inlet pipe 312 installed on the surface of the cylinder 1, a crystal nucleus feeding pipe 313 installed on the surface of the cylinder 1, and a reagent injection pipe 314 installed on the surface of the cylinder 1.

[0035] It should be noted that the inlet pipe 312 introduces the water to be treated, while the crystal nucleus feeding pipe 313 and the reagent injection pipe 314 independently deliver the crystal seeds and chemical reagents to avoid cross-contamination of the pipelines.

[0036] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 The material support assembly includes a crystal nucleus support plate 321 installed inside the cylinder 1 and multiple water inlet holes 322 opened on the surface of the crystal nucleus support plate 321.

[0037] It should be noted that the crystal nucleus support plate 321 carries the crystallized particles, and the water inlet hole 322 has a smaller diameter than the crystal seed, allowing water to flow through but intercepting the particles, forming a stable material layer, which facilitates the accurate reflection of the material level by the height measuring float 15.

[0038] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 The discharge assembly includes a discharge pipe 411 installed at the lower end of the crystal nucleus support plate 321 and a water outlet pipe 412 installed at the upper end of the cylinder 1.

[0039] It should be noted that the discharge pipe 411 discharges mature granules, while the water outlet pipe 412 discharges softened clean water.

[0040] Working principle: First, water to be treated, crystal nuclei, and chemical agents are injected into the cylinder 1 through the water inlet pipe 312, crystal nucleus feeding pipe 313, and chemical agent injection pipe 314 of the feeding mechanism, respectively. The crystal nuclei form a material layer above the crystal nucleus support plate 321. The water flows up through the water inlet hole 322, and the calcium carbonate crystals generated by the reaction with the chemical agents continuously adhere to the surface of the seed crystals, increasing their particle size. When it is necessary to detect the material level height, the motor 213 of the reset mechanism drives the winding drum 212 to release the connecting rope 214. Under the action of gravity, the height measuring float 15 drives the side height arc plate 14 along the outside of the cylinder 1 via the sliding rod 12. The height measurement scale 11 on the wall descends vertically until the height measurement float 15 contacts the surface of the seed crystal layer. At this time, the height measurement scale 11 indicated by the lower edge of the side height arc plate 14 is the real-time material level height. After the measurement is completed, the motor 213 reverses and winds up the connecting rope 214, and lifts the slide rod 12 and the height measurement float 15 to the initial position through the connecting plate 13. During the process, the water flow can freely pass through the water passage 16 of the height measurement float 15 and be discharged through the water outlet pipe 412. The seed crystal particles that have grown to the predetermined particle size are periodically discharged through the discharge pipe 411 at the lower end of the crystal nucleus support plate 321, realizing non-contact physical height measurement.

[0041] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
