Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste liquid treatment technology, and in particular to explosion-proof devices and protein separators. Background Technology

[0002] Protein skimmers, also known as protein skimmers, utilize the principle that the surface of bubbles can adsorb dirt and soluble organic matter. They use oxygenation equipment or vortex pumps to generate a large number of bubbles. These bubbles all concentrate on the water surface to form foam. The foam that has adsorbed dirt is collected in a collection cup. When a large amount of foam suddenly rushes into the collection cup, a bursting phenomenon occurs.

[0003] The waste liquid in the egg separator collection cup contains a large amount of organic matter, bacteria and algae. After being soaked for a long time, traditional liquid level sensors will have a lot of dirt on their surface, causing the sensors to malfunction or misoperate, thus affecting the operation of the egg separator explosion-proof device. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an explosion-proof device and a protein separator to address the problem that the liquid level sensor used in protein separators is easily affected by contaminants in the collection cup, leading to a decrease in sensitivity.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an explosion-proof impact protection device, the explosion-proof impact protection device comprising: The switching mechanism is communicatively connected to the start / stop switch of the protein separator, and can control the protein separator to start or stop via the start / stop switch; A floating mechanism is used to be placed in the collection container of the protein separator, and the vertical position of the floating mechanism can be changed according to the liquid level in the collection container; The connector has a first end connected to the switching mechanism and a second end connected to the float mechanism. The floating body mechanism has a first position in the vertical direction. When the floating body mechanism is in the first position, the switching mechanism controls the protein separator to stop.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a housing, on which the switching mechanism is disposed; the housing has a vertical through hole, and the connector is disposed in the through hole and is able to move vertically within the through hole.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning element located on the side of the housing away from the float mechanism, the bottom area of ​​the positioning element being equal to the diameter of the through hole, and the connecting element being connected to the switching mechanism through the positioning element.

[0008] Furthermore, the switching mechanism includes a control switch and a signal transmitting module connected to the control switch, the signal transmitting module being communicatively connected to the start / stop switch.

[0009] Furthermore, the switching mechanism also includes: Support components; The mounting component has a first end rotatably connected to the first end of the connector, and a second end rotatably connected to the support component. The control switch is located at the second end of the mounting component.

[0010] Furthermore, the control switch is a ball switch, and when the float mechanism is in the first position, the second end of the connector is higher than the first end, causing the ball switch to close.

[0011] Furthermore, the ball switch includes a body, on which a rolling groove is formed, and a ball is provided on the rolling groove. A pair of pins are provided at one end of the rolling groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the buoy mechanism includes a float, a first end of which is provided with a first retainer, and a second end of which is provided with a second retainer. The first retainer and / or the second retainer are used to adjust the position of the float.

[0013] Furthermore, the floating body mechanism has a second position in the vertical direction. When the floating body mechanism is in the second position, the switching mechanism controls the protein separator to start.

[0015] In the aforementioned explosion-proof device and protein separator, the switching mechanism is communicatively connected to the start / stop switch of the protein separator. The float mechanism is installed in the collection container of the protein separator, and its vertical position changes according to the liquid level in the collection container. When the liquid level in the collection container changes, such as when the waste liquid level in the protein separator collection cup rises, the float mechanism generates buoyancy and rises, causing the connecting piece to move upwards. When the float mechanism is in its first vertical position, the connecting piece drives the switching mechanism to stop the protein separator. In this way, the explosion-proof device can automatically respond to changes in the liquid level in the collection container, solving the problem of sensors malfunctioning or misoperating when immersed in waste liquid in traditional technologies, and meeting the requirements of high flexibility and ease of installation.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] A protein skimmer, also known as a protein skimmer, uses a needle-brush pump to create a large number of bubbles, which remove organic matter, especially protein, from the water through the surface tension of the water. The waste liquid is then discharged into a collection container to help maintain water quality.

[0020] Egg separators are widely used in marine aquaculture. However, feeding, changing filter media, and using medications can all cause changes in the surface tension of the water, which can lead to excessive foam production by the egg separator. This foam can cause waste liquid in the container to flow back into the water body and pollute it. Alternatively, the splashing water during a sudden burst can cause seawater to be lost, resulting in water pump dry burning, water circulation interruption, water temperature control interruption, electrical equipment short circuits, electric shocks, and other safety hazards, all of which affect production safety.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 3 Figure 1 A perspective view of an explosion-proof device in one embodiment is shown. Figure 2 A front view of an explosion-proof device in one embodiment is shown. Figure 3A top view of an explosion-proof device in one embodiment is shown. This application provides an explosion-proof device, which includes a switching mechanism 1, a float mechanism 2, and a connector 3 for connecting the switching mechanism 1 and the float mechanism 2. The switching mechanism 1 controls the start and stop of a protein separator, the float mechanism 2 responds to the height of the liquid level in the collection container of the protein separator, and the connector 3 connects the float mechanism 2 and the switching mechanism 1, so that the float mechanism 2 can drive the switching mechanism 1 as the liquid level in the collection container changes, thereby controlling the start and stop of the protein separator.

[0022] Specifically, the switching mechanism 1 is communicatively connected to the start / stop switch of the protein separator, and can control the protein separator to start or stop through the start / stop switch.

[0023] For example, the communication connection can be a Bluetooth connection, a WIFI connection, or a wired connection, as long as it can transmit control signals.

[0024] For example, the start / stop switch of the protein separator can control the drive components of the protein separator, such as the motor of the protein separator, which may be a needle brush pump. When the start / stop switch controls the motor to stop, the protein separator stops working; when the start / stop switch controls the motor to start, the protein separator starts working.

[0025] For example, when the protein separator is plugged into a socket, the start / stop switch can be a switch on the socket, such as a relay, which controls the start and stop of the protein separator by controlling the power supply to or from the socket.

[0026] The float mechanism 2 is placed in the collection container of the protein separator, and its vertical position can be changed according to the liquid level in the collection container. Optionally, the collection container can be a collection cup for collecting waste liquid.

[0027] For example, the buoyancy mechanism 2 can float on the surface of the waste liquid in the collection container. Thus, when the waste liquid level rises, the vertical position of the buoyancy mechanism 2 rises accordingly, and when the waste liquid level falls, the vertical position of the buoyancy mechanism 2 falls accordingly. Therefore, the vertical position of the buoyancy mechanism 2 changes with the height of the waste liquid level in the collection container.

[0028] The first end of the connector 3 is connected to the switching mechanism 1, and the second end of the connector 3 is connected to the float mechanism 2. In this way, the motion state of the float mechanism 2 can be extended to the switching mechanism 1. When the vertical position of the float mechanism 2 changes, the position of the connector 3 also changes, thereby affecting the state of the switching mechanism 1.

[0029] The floating mechanism 2 has a first position in the vertical direction. When the floating mechanism 2 is in the first position, the switching mechanism 1 controls the protein separator to stop. When the floating mechanism 2 is in the first position, the connecting piece 3 is also in a special preset position. At this time, the switching mechanism 1 communicates with the start / stop switch, so that the protein separator is in a stopped state.

[0030] In the aforementioned explosion-proof device, the switching mechanism 1 is communicatively connected to the start / stop switch of the protein separator, and the float mechanism 2 is installed in the collection container of the protein separator. Its vertical position can change according to the liquid level in the collection container. When the liquid level in the collection container of the protein separator changes, such as when the waste liquid level in the protein separator collection cup rises, the float mechanism 2 generates buoyancy and rises, causing the connecting piece 3 to move upward. When the float mechanism 2 is in the first vertical position, the connecting piece 3 drives the switching mechanism 1 to stop the protein separator. In this way, the explosion-proof device can automatically respond to changes in the liquid level in the collection container, solving the problem of sensor malfunction or failure when immersed in waste liquid in traditional technology, and meeting the requirements of high flexibility and easy installation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the explosion-proof device further includes a housing 4, on which the switching mechanism 1 is disposed; the housing 4 has a vertical through hole, and the connector 3 is disposed within the through hole, allowing it to move vertically within the through hole. Exemplarily, the housing 4 facilitates the installation of the explosion-proof device. Exemplarily, the housing 4 is the outer shell, serving as the main body of the entire explosion-proof device, and can be rectangular, having sufficient volume to accommodate the circuit board, battery, and switching mechanism 1.

[0032] For example, the connector 3 is disposed in the through hole and can move freely in the vertical direction within the through hole. Thus, changes in the liquid level of the waste liquid in the collection container cause a change in the vertical position of the float mechanism 2, and consequently, a change in the height of the connector 3. For instance, when the liquid level of the waste liquid in the collection container rises, the height of the float structure rises, and the connector 3 moves upward in the vertical direction within the through hole, thus increasing its height.

[0033] In some embodiments, the explosion-proof device further includes a positioning element 5, which is located on the side of the housing 4 away from the floating body mechanism 2. The positioning element 5 can slide in the through hole, and the bottom area of ​​the positioning element 5 is equal to the diameter of the through hole, and it restricts its own sway. The connecting element 3 is connected to the switching mechanism 1 through the positioning element 5.

[0034] For example, the connector 3 is a rod-shaped structure, with one end connected to the float 21 mechanism and the other end connected to the first end of the positioning member 5, and the second end of the positioning member 5 connected to the switch mechanism 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, the switching mechanism 1 includes a control switch 13 and a signal transmitting module connected to the control switch 13, the signal transmitting module being communicatively connected to the start / stop switch. Exemplarily, the signal transmitting module may be a radio frequency transmitting module.

[0036] For example, the RF Transmitter Module is an electronic module used to convert signals from digital or analog form into RF signals and transmit them via an antenna. Optionally, it also includes a circuit board with a control circuit. The control circuit is closed when the control switch 13 is closed, and the control circuit is opened when the control switch 13 is open. The signal transmission module is configured on the circuit board and controlled by the control circuit. Thus, the signal from the control switch 13 can be transmitted to the start / stop switch via the RF Transmitter Module to control the start / stop switch. In the event of a burst, a wireless signal can be promptly sent to shut down the egg, preventing potential hazards such as water pollution and seawater loss.

[0037] In some embodiments, the switching mechanism 1 further includes: a support member 11; a mounting member 12, the first end of which is rotatably connected to the first end of the connecting member 3, and the second end of which is rotatably connected to the support member 11; and a control switch 13 disposed at the second end of the mounting member 12. The second end of the connecting member 3 is connected to the float mechanism 2.

[0038] For example, the support member 11, which supports the switching mechanism 1, is mounted on the housing 4. The mounting member 12 is configured to be rotatable. When the height of the float 21 mechanism changes, the height of the connecting member 3 changes accordingly. At this time, the end of the mounting member 12 connected to the connecting member 3 rotates relative to the connecting member 3, and the height change is consistent with that of the connecting member 3. For example, when the float 21 mechanism rises, the height of the connecting member 3 rises, and the first end of the mounting member 12 rises.

[0039] In some embodiments, the control switch 13 is a ball switch. When the float mechanism 2 is in the first position, the second end of the connector 3 is higher than the first end, causing the ball switch to close. Exemplarily, a ball switch is a mechanical switch that uses a rolling spherical conductive metal body to perform the switching action. It consists of a fixed housing, a freely rotating ball, and contact points. The ball is located between the two electrical contacts of the switch. When the switch is in a certain position, the ball rolls due to gravity or other external forces, connecting or disconnecting the circuit.

[0040] For example, a ball switch includes a body with a rolling groove on the body, a ball on the rolling groove, and a pair of pins at one end of the rolling groove. Thus, when the ball rolls to the end of the rolling groove, the two pins are electrically connected through the ball, thereby turning on the circuit.

[0041] When the waste liquid in the egg separator collection container slowly submerges the float mechanism 2, the float mechanism 2 generates buoyancy in the waste liquid and moves upward to the first position. The buoyancy acts on the connector 3, at which point the connector 3 generates a vertically upward force, lifting one end of the ball switch. With the lifted end of the ball switch at a higher position, the ball, under the influence of gravity, rolls to the switch pin, closing the circuit and forming a loop. Upon receiving this switching signal, the circuit board can transmit a wireless signal to the start / stop switch, stopping the egg separator and preventing sudden bursts.

[0042] In some embodiments, the float mechanism 2 includes a float 21, with a first retainer 22 at its first end and a second retainer 23 at its second end. The first retainer 22 and / or the second retainer 23 are used to adjust the position of the float 21. In one feasible implementation, both the first and second ends of the float 21 are threaded, and the first retainer 22 and the second retainer 23 are screwed onto the float 21. As the title suggests, by rotating the first retainer 22 and the second retainer 23, the distance between the first retainer 22 and the second retainer 23 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the shape of the float 21 to achieve adaptability in different egg separator collection cups.

[0043] In some embodiments, the position of the float mechanism 2 in the vertical direction includes a second position. When the float mechanism 2 is in the second position, the switching mechanism 1 controls the protein separator to start. Optionally, the second position can be a region lower than the first position. When the float mechanism 2 is in the second position, the ball of the ball switch will not roll to the pin position. At this time, the circuit of the circuit board is disconnected, and the start / stop switch of the protein separator remains open.

[0044] Secondly, this application also provides a protein separator, which includes: a start / stop switch for controlling the start and stop of the protein separator; a collection container for containing working fluid; and the explosion-proof device in any of the above embodiments.
