Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は液面検出装置に関し、特に液面に浮かぶフロートを取り付けたアーム部材の回動量により液面位置を知る液面検出装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
この種の液面検出装置におけるアーム部材(フロートアーム)基端の取付け構造の一例を図5に示す。図において、フロートアーム1の基端は直角に屈曲して装置ボデー2の軸受け部23を貫通しており、貫通した先端部が保持部材(ホルダ)4′の中心孔内に圧入固定されている。
【0003】
ホルダ4′は段付きに異径とした柱状体であり、これの段付面に基端を固定した板バネプレート5が回路基板6上に延びて、プレート先端の摺動接点51が出力用の抵抗配線(図示略)に接触している。
上記ホルダ4′の段付面と装置ボデー2の裏面との間にはコイルバネ3が配設されてホルダ4′を上方へ付勢している。一方、フロートアーム1の基端を貫通させて、ホルダ4′の上方からストッパプレート91が覆着してあり、このストッパプレート91によりホルダ4′が位置決めされて、板バネプレート5先端の摺動接点51に適正な接触圧を付与している。
【0004】
しかし、この構造によると、フロートアーム1をホルダ4′内へ圧入するためのプレス設備が必要になるとともに、圧入にも手間を要する。また、圧入時に樹脂製のホルダ4′が割れたり、経時変化で圧入部が緩むことのないように、寸法公差を厳しく管理する必要があり、これによっても製造の手間やコストが増大する。
【0005】
そこで、図6に示すように、装置ボデー2上に設けた軸部材3の挿通孔31内に、下方へ直角に屈曲するフロートアーム1の基端11を通すとともに、その水平の基端部12を、ホルダ4の上面に形成され小間隙を有して上方へ開口する係止部46内に押し込み固定するものがある。この場合、ホルダ4は、装置ボデー2上に立設された、先端に爪部241を有する複数の係止片24A、24Bにより上面が押さえられて位置決めされている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ホルダ4の係止部46内にフロートアーム基端部12を押し込み固定する上記構造によれば圧入に伴うコストアップ等の問題は無いものの、押し込み時に強い力で係止部46に押し当てる必要があるため指が痛くなるとともに、フロートアーム1の回動方向と直交する上方への力が作用すると係止部46からフロートアーム1が抜け出すおそれがあった。
【0007】
そこで、本発明はこのような課題を解決するもので、保持部材へのアーム部材の装着固定を容易に行うことができるとともに、その脱落等を生じない液面検出装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、請求項1に記載の発明では、アーム部材(1)の係止部(44A、44B)は、保持部材(4)の回動方向の一方向が開放し、保持部材(4)の回動方向の一方向からアーム部材(1)が当該係止部(44A、44B)内に押し込まれて、アーム部材(1)と係合するように形成されており、直角に屈曲したアーム部材(1)の基端(11)を軸部材(3)の挿通孔(31)内へ挿入した状態で、アーム部材(1)を保持部材(4)の回動方向に回動させて係止部(44A、44B)に係合固定するものである。
【0009】
このような構成によれば、アーム部材を装置作動時の回動方向へ回動させることにより、簡易に係止部に係合させて、保持部材と一体化することができる。この際、アーム部材の先端を掴んで梃子の原理により、比較的小さな力でアーム部材を係止部に係合させることができる。また、持部材の回動方向でアーム部材と係合させているから、保持部材の回動方向に直交する外力が作用してもアーム部材と係止部との係合が解消されることはなく、保持部材からアーム部材が脱落することはない。
【0010】
一方、保持部材の回動方向で外力が作用してアーム部材が急速に回動しても、保持部材はアーム部材と一体化しアーム部材に追従して回動するから、この場合にも保持部材からアーム部材が脱落することはない。請求項2に記載の発明では、上記係止部を、保持部材の回動方向の一方へ開放する鉤体(44A、44B)で構成する。これにより、係止部が簡易に構成される。
【0011】
なお、鉤体は複数設けると脱落防止の確実性が増す。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図に示す実施形態について説明する。
図1には液面検出装置の全体正面図を示す。図において、矩形の装置ボデー2の手前に保持部材としての樹脂製ホルダ4が位置しており、このホルダ4は多角形型の基部41と、これより側方へ突出する腕部42とより構成されている。基部41には中心に詳細を後述する円形の開口43が形成され、装置ボデー2の壁面に立設された後述の軸部材が上記開口43内に挿入されて、ホルダ4を回動自在に保持している。
【0013】
フロート13を先端に取り付けたフロートアーム1が設けられ、当該アーム1は水平に延びた後、基端部12は斜め上方へ屈曲し、基端11はさらに壁面(図の紙面向こう側)方向へ直角に屈曲してホルダ基部41の中心を貫通している。フロートアーム1は基端部12の途中で、詳細を後述する係止部の鉤体44A、44Bによりホルダ4に係止固定されている。
【0014】
ホルダ設置部の詳細を図2に示す。ホルダ4の基部41中心に設けた開口43内にはこれを横切って略Y字形に隔壁45が形成され、当該隔壁45下方の開口43内周面には全周に凹所(図示略)が形成されている。そして、ホルダ基部41の下方から開口43内へ挿入された軸部材3先端の係止突起が上記凹所内へ嵌装されて、ホルダ4の抜けを防止しつつこれを回転自在に支持している。
【0015】
ホルダ4の基部41下面に接して、平面視でホルダ4とほぼ同形の板バネプレート5が固定されており、板バネプレート5の先端は回路基板6上へ延びて、先端に設けた摺動接点51が回路基板6上の抵抗配線(図示略)に適当な圧力で接触している。この抵抗配線は、回路基板6に一端が固定されたリード部材61(図1)を介して装置ボデー2上の給電端子71に導通している。
【0016】
板バネプレート5の基部下面と装置ボデー2の壁面との間にはコイルバネ32が配設されてホルダ4全体を上方へ押し上げており、ホルダ基部41の上記凹所下面が軸部材3先端の係止突起と当接して上下方向へのホルダ4の位置決めがなされている。
コイルバネ32の下端は、図1に示すように、上記給電端子71に隣接して装置ボデー2上に設けた給電端子72にカシメにより導通接続されている。コイルバネ32の上端も板バネプレート5にカシメにより導通接続しており、このようにして、給電端子71、72間に抵抗配線が接続され、その抵抗値は板バネプレート5(すなわちフロートアーム1)の回動に伴って変化する。
【0017】
図2において、ホルダ4の腕部42上面には係止部として長手方向の2か所に弧状の鉤体44A、44Bが一体に形成され、これら鉤体44A、44Bの開放方向はホルダ4の回動方向に一致して側方へ向いている。鉤体44A、44Bは同形で、その内径はフロートアーム1の外径に等しく、これら鉤体44A、44B内にフロートアーム1の基部11が抱持されている。
【0018】
抱持固定されたフロートアーム1の基端は下方へ直角に屈曲してホルダ基部41の中心から軸部材3の挿通孔31内を通っている。なお、鉤体44A、44Bの開放径はフロートアーム1の外径よりも小さくしてある。
回路基板6はその板面に、装置ボデー2上の複数の係止片62、63、64(図1)の先端爪部641が係合する(図3)ことにより固定されており、これら係止片のうち一つ64は、ホルダ4が回動した際にその下方の板バネプレート5が干渉しないように爪部側縁641a(図2)を斜めに切り欠いてある。
【0019】
また、装置ボデー2にはフロートアーム1が延びる側縁の上下位置にストッパ部21、22が形成してあり、このうち上側ストッパ部21の斜視を図4に示す。図に示すように、ストッパ部21は装置ボデー2から立ち上がった後、ボデー面に平行に屈曲する頭部211を有し、このストッパ21には、回動してきたフロートアーム1の側面が当接してそれ以上の回動が規制されるストッパ面21aが形成されている。なお、頭部211はフロートアーム1がストッパ部21を乗り越えるのを防止するものである。
【0020】
上記構造の液面検出装置において、フロートアーム1をホルダ4に取り付ける場合には、図2の鎖線で示すように、下方へ屈曲する基端11をホルダ基部41の中心から軸部材3中心の挿通孔31内に通す。この後、フロートアーム1を挿通孔31回りに旋回させて(図2の矢印)アーム基端部12を両鉤体44A、44B内に押し込み係合させる。
【0021】
この押し込みに当たっては、フロートアーム1の鉤体44A、44B内への押し込み方向がフロートアーム1の回動方向と一致しているから、図略のアーム先端部を掴んで比較的小さな力でフロートアーム1を旋回させるだけで、梃子の原理により容易にアーム基端部12を鉤体44A、44B内へ押し込み係合させることができる。したがって、押し込み時に指が痛くなる等の従来の問題も生じない。
【0022】
また、フロートアーム1をホルダ4に取り付けた状態で、図のアーム引き上げ方向へ外力が作用しても、アーム基端部12は両鉤体44A、44Bにより側方を除いて抱持されているから、フロートアーム1が鉤体44A、44Bから抜け出ることはない。なお、旋回方向の外力が作用してフロートアーム1が急速に旋回しても、ホルダ4はフロートアーム1と同方向へ急速に旋回移動する。したがって、この場合にもフロートアーム1の抜け出しは防止される。
【0023】
なお、鉤体は必ずしも複数設ける必要はないが、フロートアームとホルダの結合の確実性が増す点で複数設けた方が良い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a liquid level detection device, and more particularly to a liquid level detection device that knows the liquid level position by the amount of rotation of an arm member attached with a float that floats on the liquid level.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An example of the attachment structure of the base end of the arm member (float arm) in this type of liquid level detection device is shown in FIG. In the figure, the base end of the float arm 1 is bent at a right angle and penetrates the bearing portion 23 of the apparatus body 2, and the penetrating tip is press-fitted and fixed in the center hole of the holding member (holder) 4 ′. .
[0003]
The holder 4 'is a columnar body having a stepped diameter, and a leaf spring plate 5 having a base end fixed to the stepped surface extends on the circuit board 6, and a sliding contact 51 at the tip of the plate is used for output. In contact with the resistance wiring (not shown).
A coil spring 3 is disposed between the stepped surface of the holder 4 'and the back surface of the apparatus body 2 to urge the holder 4' upward. On the other hand, a stopper plate 91 is covered from above the holder 4 ′ through the base end of the float arm 1, and the holder 4 ′ is positioned by the stopper plate 91 so that the tip of the leaf spring plate 5 slides. Appropriate contact pressure is applied to the contact point 51.
[0004]
However, according to this structure, a press facility for press-fitting the float arm 1 into the holder 4 'is required, and the press-fitting also takes time. In addition, it is necessary to strictly manage the dimensional tolerance so that the resin holder 4 'is not cracked at the time of press-fitting and the press-fitted part is not loosened with time, and this also increases manufacturing effort and cost.
[0005]
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the base end 11 of the float arm 1 bent at a right angle is passed through the insertion hole 31 of the shaft member 3 provided on the apparatus body 2, and the horizontal base end portion 12 thereof is passed. Is fixed in a locking portion 46 which is formed on the upper surface of the holder 4 and opens upward with a small gap. In this case, the holder 4 is positioned with its upper surface pressed down by a plurality of locking pieces 24A and 24B that are provided on the apparatus body 2 and have claw portions 241 at their tips.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the above structure in which the float arm base end portion 12 is pushed and fixed into the locking portion 46 of the holder 4, there is no problem of cost increase due to press-fitting, but it is necessary to press against the locking portion 46 with a strong force at the time of pressing. Therefore, there is a risk that the finger becomes painful and the float arm 1 may come out of the locking portion 46 when an upward force perpendicular to the rotation direction of the float arm 1 is applied.
[0007]
Accordingly, the present invention solves such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a liquid level detection device that can easily attach and fix an arm member to a holding member and that does not drop off. To do.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the locking portions (44A, 44B) of the arm member (1) are opened in one direction of rotation of the holding member (4), and the holding member (4) the arm members (1) from one direction of the rotation direction is pushed into the locking portion (44A, 44B), is formed so as to engage with the arm member (1), at right angles With the base end (11) of the bent arm member (1) inserted into the insertion hole (31) of the shaft member (3), the arm member (1) is rotated in the rotation direction of the holding member (4). It is made to engage and fix to a locking part (44A, 44B).
[0009]
According to such a configuration, the arm member can be easily engaged with the locking portion and integrated with the holding member by rotating the arm member in the rotation direction when the apparatus is operated. At this time, the arm member can be engaged with the locking portion with a relatively small force by grasping the tip of the arm member and based on the principle of the lever. Moreover, since an arm member and engaged with in the rotational direction of the hold member, an external force perpendicular to the rotation direction of the holding member is engaged with the arm member and the locking portion also act is eliminated No, the arm member does not fall off from the holding member.
[0010]
On the other hand, even if an external force acts in the rotation direction of the holding member and the arm member rapidly rotates, the holding member is integrated with the arm member and rotates following the arm member. The arm member does not fall out of the arm. In the invention according to claim 2, the locking portion is constituted by a housing (44 </ b> A, 44 </ b> B) that opens to one side in the rotation direction of the holding member. Thereby, a latching | locking part is comprised simply.
[0011]
In addition, if a plurality of housings are provided, the certainty of preventing the dropping is increased.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below.
FIG. 1 is an overall front view of the liquid level detection device. In the figure, a resin holder 4 as a holding member is positioned in front of the rectangular device body 2, and this holder 4 is composed of a polygonal base portion 41 and an arm portion 42 projecting laterally therefrom. Has been. A circular opening 43, which will be described in detail later, is formed in the base 41, and a shaft member, which will be described later, erected on the wall surface of the apparatus body 2 is inserted into the opening 43 to hold the holder 4 in a rotatable manner. doing.
[0013]
A float arm 1 having a float 13 attached to the tip is provided. After the arm 1 extends horizontally, the base end portion 12 is bent obliquely upward, and the base end 11 further extends in the direction of the wall surface (the other side in the drawing). It is bent at a right angle and penetrates through the center of the holder base 41. The float arm 1 is latched and fixed to the holder 4 in the middle of the base end portion 12 by latching housings 44A and 44B which will be described in detail later.
[0014]
The detail of a holder installation part is shown in FIG. In the opening 43 provided at the center of the base 41 of the holder 4, a substantially Y-shaped partition 45 is formed across the opening 43, and a recess (not shown) is formed on the entire inner periphery of the opening 43 below the partition 45. Is formed. Then, a locking projection at the tip of the shaft member 3 inserted into the opening 43 from below the holder base 41 is fitted into the recess to support the holder 4 so as to prevent the holder 4 from coming off. .
[0015]
A leaf spring plate 5 having substantially the same shape as the holder 4 is fixed in contact with the lower surface of the base 41 of the holder 4 in a plan view, and the tip of the leaf spring plate 5 extends onto the circuit board 6 and is provided at the tip. The contact 51 is in contact with a resistance wiring (not shown) on the circuit board 6 with an appropriate pressure. This resistance wiring is electrically connected to the power supply terminal 71 on the device body 2 through a lead member 61 (FIG. 1) whose one end is fixed to the circuit board 6.
[0016]
A coil spring 32 is disposed between the lower surface of the base portion of the leaf spring plate 5 and the wall surface of the apparatus body 2 to push the entire holder 4 upward, and the lower surface of the recess of the holder base portion 41 is engaged with the tip of the shaft member 3. The holder 4 is positioned in the vertical direction in contact with the stop protrusion.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the coil spring 32 is conductively connected by caulking to a power supply terminal 72 provided on the device body 2 adjacent to the power supply terminal 71. The upper end of the coil spring 32 is also conductively connected to the leaf spring plate 5 by caulking. In this way, a resistance wiring is connected between the power supply terminals 71 and 72, and the resistance value is equal to the leaf spring plate 5 (that is, the float arm 1). It changes with the rotation.
[0017]
In FIG. 2, arc-shaped housings 44 </ b> A and 44 </ b> B are integrally formed on the upper surface of the arm portion 42 of the holder 4 as two engaging portions in the longitudinal direction, and the opening direction of these housings 44 </ b> A and 44 </ b> B is the same as that of the holder 4. It coincides with the direction of rotation and faces sideways. The housings 44A and 44B have the same shape, and the inner diameter is equal to the outer diameter of the float arm 1, and the base 11 of the float arm 1 is held in the housings 44A and 44B.
[0018]
The proximal end of the float arm 1 held and fixed is bent downward at a right angle and passes through the insertion hole 31 of the shaft member 3 from the center of the holder base 41. The open diameters of the housings 44A and 44B are smaller than the outer diameter of the float arm 1.
The circuit board 6 is fixed to the plate surface by engaging the front end claw portions 641 of the plurality of locking pieces 62, 63, 64 (FIG. 1) on the device body 2 (FIG. 3). One of the stopper pieces 64 has a claw portion side edge 641a (FIG. 2) cut out obliquely so that the lower plate spring plate 5 does not interfere when the holder 4 rotates.
[0019]
Further, the apparatus body 2 has stopper portions 21 and 22 formed at the upper and lower positions of the side edge where the float arm 1 extends. A perspective view of the upper stopper portion 21 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the stopper portion 21 has a head portion 211 that is bent in parallel to the body surface after rising from the apparatus body 2, and the side surface of the rotated float arm 1 abuts against the stopper 21. Thus, a stopper surface 21a is formed in which further rotation is restricted. The head 211 prevents the float arm 1 from getting over the stopper portion 21.
[0020]
In the liquid level detection apparatus having the above structure, when the float arm 1 is attached to the holder 4, the base end 11 bent downward is inserted from the center of the holder base 41 to the center of the shaft member 3 as shown by a chain line in FIG. Pass through hole 31. Thereafter, the float arm 1 is turned around the insertion hole 31 (arrow in FIG. 2), and the arm base end portion 12 is pushed into and engaged with both the casings 44A and 44B.
[0021]
In this pushing operation, since the pushing direction of the float arm 1 into the housings 44A and 44B coincides with the rotation direction of the float arm 1, the float arm 1 is grasped by a relatively small force by grasping the arm tip portion (not shown). The arm base end portion 12 can be easily pushed into and engaged with the housings 44A and 44B by the lever principle only by turning 1. Therefore, conventional problems such as a finger hurting at the time of pushing in do not occur.
[0022]
Even when an external force is applied in the direction in which the float arm 1 is attached to the holder 4 in the direction in which the arm is lifted, the arm base end portion 12 is held by the two casings 44A and 44B except for the sides. Therefore, the float arm 1 does not come out of the housings 44A and 44B. Even if the float arm 1 turns rapidly due to an external force in the turning direction, the holder 4 rapidly turns in the same direction as the float arm 1. Therefore, also in this case, the float arm 1 is prevented from coming out.
[0023]
It is not always necessary to provide a plurality of housings, but it is better to provide a plurality of housings in order to increase the reliability of the coupling between the float arm and the holder.
