[0020] This embodiment provides a liquid level sensor for real-time monitoring of liquid level. The liquid level sensor is installed inside the liquid storage tank and can monitor the liquid level in the tank in real time. It has high monitoring accuracy, which is beneficial for mixing equipment to perform accurate real-time liquid preparation. In addition, the liquid level sensor has good high temperature resistance and acid and alkali corrosion resistance, which is beneficial for mixing acid and alkali liquids.
[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the liquid level sensor in this embodiment includes a liquid receiving part 10 and an electronic compartment 20. The liquid receiving part 10 is in direct contact with the liquid in the storage tank. The liquid receiving part 10 includes a plug 11, a float 12, a measuring rod 13, and a combined oil seal 14 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The float 12 is mounted on the measuring rod 13 and moves along the length of the measuring rod 13. A movable magnetic ring 121 is provided inside the float 12. A waveguide wire 131 is provided inside the measuring rod 13. The surfaces of the plug 11, float 12, measuring rod 13, and combined oil seal 14 are all coated with a PFA coating. In this embodiment, the plug 11, float 12, measuring rod 13, and combined oil seal 14 will be in direct contact with the liquid in the storage tank. Therefore, the surfaces of the plug 11, float 12, measuring rod 13, and combined oil seal 14 are coated with a PFA coating. The PFA coating has excellent high temperature resistance and acid and alkali corrosion resistance, which can effectively prevent corrosion of the liquid level sensor.
[0022] In this embodiment, the electronic compartment 20 is installed above the combined oil pipe 14. An integrated circuit board 21 is provided inside the electronic compartment 20. The integrated circuit board 21 generates a current excitation pulse to move the movable magnetic ring 121 along the length direction of the measuring rod 13. When the integrated circuit board 21 generates a current excitation pulse, this current excitation pulse generates a magnetic field and moves along the waveguide wire 131. The movable magnetic ring 121 in the measuring rod 13 will also generate a magnetic field. When the magnetic field generated by the current excitation pulse intersects with the magnetic field generated by the movable magnetic ring 121, the waveguide will generate a magnetostrictive effect, that is, generate a strain pulse. This pulse is transmitted back from the waveguide wire 131 at a fixed speed and is detected by the addressing element of the integrated circuit board 21. By measuring the time between the current pulse and the variable pulse, the position of the movable magnetic ring 121 can be accurately determined, and then the position signal can be output.
[0023] Furthermore, the electronic compartment 20 of this embodiment is provided with a cable connector 30, which connects the integrated circuit board 21 to the outside to supply power to the integrated circuit board 21 and transmit signals to the outside. When the position of the moving magnetic ring 121 is determined, the position signal is output to the outside through the cable connector 30 so that the outside can perform signal processing.
[0024] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the electronic chamber 20 in this embodiment is provided with an air inlet 40 and an air outlet 50. High-pressure air is introduced into the electronic chamber 20 through the air inlet 40, and high-pressure air is discharged from the electronic chamber 20 through the air outlet 50. High-pressure air of 0.1-0.2MPa is introduced through the air inlet 40 and discharged through the air outlet 50 to maintain the ambient temperature inside the electronic chamber 20.
[0025] In this embodiment, the combined oil ring 14 is a semi-circular structure. The combined oil ring 14 is fixed inside the liquid storage tank to install the liquid level sensor inside the liquid storage tank. In this embodiment, the combined oil ring 14 is used as a fixing component to stably install the liquid level sensor inside the liquid storage tank so that the liquid level sensor can monitor the liquid level inside the liquid storage tank in real time.
[0026] In this embodiment, the liquid level sensor is installed in the storage tank using a combination oil ring 14 to monitor the liquid level in real time. This allows the subsequent mixing equipment to perform precise real-time liquid dispensing operations in the storage tank. The working principle of the liquid level sensor is as follows: When the integrated circuit board 21 generates a current excitation pulse, this current excitation pulse generates a magnetic field and moves along the waveguide wire 131. At the same time, the moving magnetic ring 121 in the measuring rod 13 also generates a magnetic field. When the magnetic field generated by the current excitation pulse intersects with the magnetic field generated by the moving magnetic ring 121, the waveguide will generate a magnetostrictive effect, that is, generate a strain pulse. This pulse is transmitted back from the waveguide wire 131 at a fixed speed and is detected by the measuring element of the integrated circuit board 21. By measuring the time between the current pulse and the variable pulse, the position of the moving magnetic ring 121 can be accurately determined, and then a position signal is output. At this time, the position of the moving magnetic ring 121 is the liquid level of the storage tank, thus realizing the real-time monitoring of the liquid level in the storage tank.
