Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water level detectors, specifically an immersion-type water level detector. Background Technology
[0002] Existing submersible water level detectors primarily detect liquid static pressure using pressure sensors and convert it into liquid level height. However, traditional devices have shortcomings in the following aspects: severe electromagnetic interference, especially in the power and metallurgical industries, where signal drift affects accuracy; diaphragms are easily damaged, making it difficult to operate for extended periods in highly corrosive or high-pressure environments; temperature compensation is inadequate, leading to significant susceptibility of measurement results to temperature fluctuations; and the lack of flexible installation options (split / integrated) makes them unsuitable for adapting to different working conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a novel submersible water level detector with significant improvements. Utility Model Content

An outer sheath is fitted around the lower periphery of the probe body. A composite diaphragm structure consisting of a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm is provided at the lower end of the stainless steel core. This composite diaphragm structure is positioned opposite a ceramic sensor and is used to convert liquid static pressure into an electrical signal. The ceramic sensor is electrically connected to a signal conversion circuit board, which is sequentially connected to a temperature compensation unit and a signal calibration module, ultimately outputting a 4-20mA standard signal to the 4-20mA standard signal output terminal.
[0005] Preferably, the inner magnetic shielding layer is a multi-layer woven copper mesh structure, which can effectively reduce industrial electromagnetic interference.

[0012] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. In the embodiments of the present utility model, the different types of cross-sectional lines are not labeled according to national standards, nor do they specify material requirements for the components; they are used to distinguish the cross-sectional views of the components in the drawings.
[0013] Please see Figure 1-3An immersion-type water level detector includes an air-conducting cable 1, which is used to electrically connect to a probe body 4 and is connected to the probe body 4 via a pressure-resistant connector 3. A sealing gasket 5 is provided on one side of the probe body 4, and a stainless steel core 6 is provided inside. A 4~20mA standard signal output terminal 15 is installed at the top of the probe body 4, and a mounting bracket 16 is provided at the upper internal position of the probe body 4. A shock-absorbing buffer layer 14 is provided on the upper inner wall of the probe body 4, and an internal magnetic shield is provided on the lower inner wall of the probe body 4. Layer 13, the lower part of the probe body 4 is covered with an outer sheath layer 2, the lower end of the stainless steel core 6 is provided with a composite diaphragm structure composed of a first diaphragm 7 and a second diaphragm 8, the composite diaphragm structure is arranged opposite to the ceramic sensor 9, and is used to convert liquid static pressure into an electrical signal, the ceramic sensor 9 is electrically connected to the signal conversion circuit board 10, the signal conversion circuit board 10 is connected in sequence to the temperature compensation unit 11 and the signal calibration module 12, and finally outputs a 4~20mA standard signal to the 4~20mA standard signal output terminal 15.
[0014] Among them, the inner magnetic shielding layer 13 is a multi-layer woven copper mesh structure, which can effectively reduce industrial electromagnetic interference.
[0015] The stainless steel core 6 is fixed to the first diaphragm 7 and the second diaphragm 8 by an annular support ring, achieving double-layer protection.
[0016] The ceramic sensor 9 is connected to the signal conversion circuit board 10 by a flexible wire and fixed with shock-absorbing adhesive.
[0017] The signal calibration module 12 includes a microprocessor and a storage unit, which is used to calibrate the output of the ceramic sensor 9 online.
[0018] The shock-absorbing buffer layer 14 is made of oil-resistant rubber and silicone composite and surrounds the outside of the water level detector.
[0019] It should be noted that this submersible water level detector measures liquid level based on the principle of hydrostatic pressure, and its core working process is as follows: When the probe is immersed in the liquid, the liquid column generates hydrostatic pressure on the diaphragm. The first diaphragm 7 and the second diaphragm 10, as a composite structure, respectively withstand the direct pressure of the liquid and the buffered, balanced pressure, thus achieving double-layer protection. The hydrostatic pressure increases with liquid depth, causing the composite diaphragm to undergo slight deformation, transmitting the pressure to the ceramic sensor 9 inside the stainless steel core 6. The ceramic sensor 9 utilizes the piezoresistive effect to convert the pressure change into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the signal conversion circuit board 10 via a flexible wire.
[0020] The signal conversion circuit board 10 amplifies and linearizes the weak electrical signal before transmitting it to the temperature compensation unit 11. The temperature compensation unit 11 monitors the liquid temperature in real time and automatically corrects the zero-point drift of the ceramic sensor 9, ensuring accuracy under high and low temperature environments. The corrected signal further enters the signal calibration module 12, which includes a microprocessor and storage unit. This module can perform nonlinear correction according to a preset curve and supports automatic drift compensation during long-term operation. Finally, the calibrated signal is output through the 4-20mA standard output terminal 15, achieving seamless connection with the industrial control system.
[0021] In terms of structural protection, the electromagnetic shielding layer inside the air-conducting cable 1 effectively weakens external electromagnetic interference. The probe shell is made of stainless steel and has a shock-absorbing buffer layer 14, which can absorb liquid impact and mechanical vibration, thereby extending the sensor life.
