Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain and oil production technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning device for a radar level gauge. Background Technology

[0002] Radar level gauges transmit microwave pulses to the liquid surface via an antenna and receive the echoes reflected from the liquid surface. By calculating the time difference, the liquid level is determined. In the grain and oil processing industry, such as in raw material storage tanks, continuous and accurate monitoring of the liquid level of materials is a key link in ensuring production safety, controlling process quality, and achieving automated management.

[0003] During storage, scum often forms on the surface of grains and oils, which can easily lead to inaccurate detection by radar level gauges. This new device can blow away the scum on the liquid surface, effectively preventing it from affecting the radar level gauge and facilitating the detection of liquid level height.

The rotatable ring 14 is externally fixedly connected to the rotatable screw 12, which can make the rotatable screw 12 rotate inside the mounting base plate 11 and drive the mounting base plate 11 to move synchronously. The rotatable ring 14 is externally rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting base plate 11.

[0020] A sealing gasket 15 is provided between the upper surface of the first mounting plate 8 and the lower surface of the second mounting plate 9, and the sealing gasket 15 seals the connection between the first mounting plate 8 and the second mounting plate 9.
