[0028] The following description, in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model, includes appendices. Figure 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-3 A storage tank with a level gauge includes a tank body 1, inside which a filter cartridge 11 is installed. The filter cartridge 11 can intercept and filter impurities in the liquid entering the tank body 1. A first ring 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank body 1 opening, and a second ring 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the filter cartridge 11. The filter cartridge 11 passes through the interior of the first ring 12, and the second ring 13 overlaps the first ring 12. This structure facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the filter cartridge 11, thereby facilitating the cleaning or replacement of the filter cartridge 11.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A bottom tube 2 is installed at the bottom of the barrel 1, and a transparent vertical tube 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the bottom tube 2. A connecting tube 4 is fixedly installed between the top of the transparent vertical tube 3 and the barrel 1. An elastic tube clamp 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the barrel 1, and the transparent vertical tube 3 is located inside the elastic tube clamp 10, which stabilizes the transparent vertical tube 3. The bottom tube 2, the transparent vertical tube 3, the connecting tube 4, and the barrel 1 form a connected structure. A scale strip 5 is set on the surface of the barrel 1 on one side of the transparent vertical tube 3. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level inside the transparent vertical tube 3 is the same as the liquid level inside the barrel 1. By observing the liquid level inside the transparent vertical tube 3 and comparing it with the scale strip 5, the liquid level inside the barrel 1 can be clearly understood, thus facilitating the understanding of the liquid volume in the barrel 1. The scale strip 5 is fixed to the surface of the barrel 1 by adhesive bonding. This structure facilitates the replacement of worn or damaged scale strips 5. An indicator float 6 is installed inside the transparent vertical tube 3. The indicator float 6 is a hollow float with color, which improves the display effect of the liquid level inside the transparent vertical tube 3. Limiting rings 7 are fixedly installed inside both ends of the transparent vertical tube 3. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 7 is smaller than the diameter of the indicator float 6. The limiting ring 7 prevents the indicator float 6 from entering the bottom tube 2 or the connecting tube 4.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The bottom tube 2 has a drain port 8 at the end away from the barrel 1, and a control valve 9 is installed at the end of the bottom tube 2 near the drain port 8. The transparent vertical tube 3 is located between the control valve 9 and the barrel 1. By opening the control valve 9, the liquid inside the barrel 1 can be discharged from the drain port 8 on the bottom tube 2.

[0032] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, according to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level inside the transparent vertical tube 3 is the same as the liquid level inside the tank 1. By observing the liquid level inside the transparent vertical tube 3 and comparing it with the scale bar 5, the liquid level inside the tank 1 can be clearly understood, thus making it easy to understand the amount of liquid in the tank 1. Furthermore, a marker float 6 is installed inside the transparent vertical tube 3. The marker float 6 is a hollow float with color, which improves the display effect of the liquid level inside the transparent vertical tube 3. In addition, limit rings 7 are fixedly installed inside both ends of the transparent vertical tube 3. With the setting of the limit rings 7, it is not easy for the marker float 6 to enter the bottom tube 2 or the connecting tube 4.

[0033] In addition, a filter cartridge 11 is installed inside the barrel 1. The filter cartridge 11 can intercept and filter impurities in the liquid entering the barrel 1, thereby effectively reducing the probability of impurities in the liquid entering the transparent vertical tube 3.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
