Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1-8As shown, an oil storage device with an overflow alarm function includes a tank 1. A load-bearing mechanism is installed on the bottom surface of the tank 1. A driving mechanism is connected to the lower end of the load-bearing mechanism. The driving mechanism is connected to a dial mechanism installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the tank 1. An alarm mechanism is connected to the dial mechanism. When oil is poured into the tank 1, the weight of the oil causes the load-bearing mechanism to move downwards. The downward movement of the load-bearing mechanism drives the transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the dial mechanism. The dial mechanism allows a direct view of the amount of oil poured into the tank 1. When the amount of oil reaches the port of the tank 1, the alarm mechanism will sound an alarm to remind the staff, preventing overfilling and overflow due to forgetfulness.

[0027] Specifically, the load-bearing mechanism includes a load-bearing circular plate 2, a first spring 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the tank body 1, and the upper end of the first spring 3 is connected to the load-bearing circular plate 2; two first sliding grooves 4 are provided on the inner wall side of the tank body 1, and a first slider 5 is connected to each of the two first sliding grooves 4, and the two first sliders 5 are connected to the outer wall of the load-bearing circular plate 2.

[0028] Oil is injected into the tank 1. The weight of the oil causes the load-bearing circular plate 2 to move downwards. The first slider 5 can limit the load-bearing circular plate 2.

[0029] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a rack plate 6, a through groove 7 on the bottom surface of the tank body 1, a transmission groove 11 on the side wall of the through groove 7, and a wire hole 12 on the upward-facing side wall of the transmission groove 11. A transmission rod 10 is movably connected within the through groove 7, and the other end of the transmission rod 10 is movably connected to the side wall of the transmission groove 11. A first disc gear 9 is connected to the transmission rod 10. The rack plate 6 is connected to the center of the lower end face of the load-bearing circular plate 2, and the rack plate 6 meshes with the first disc gear 9. One end of the transmission rod 10 located within the transmission groove 11 is connected to a first drum 13, and the first drum 13 is connected to one end of a transmission rope 14. The other end of the transmission rope 14 passes through the wire hole 12 and connects to the dial mechanism. A spiral spring 16 is located within a sink 15.

[0030] The downward movement of the load-bearing circular plate 2 causes the rack plate 6 to move downward. The downward movement of the rack plate 6 drives the first disc gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of the first disc gear 9 drives the transmission rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 10 drives the first drum 13 to rotate. The rotation of the first drum 13 winds up the transmission rope 14, causing the upper dial mechanism to rotate.

[0031] Specifically, a placement platform 20 is provided on the upper end of the outer wall of the tank body 1. The dial mechanism includes a second drum 18. A groove 15 is provided on the side wall of the placement platform 20. A first rotating shaft 17 is movably connected in the groove 15. A spiral spring 16 is connected to the inner end of the first rotating shaft 17. A second disc gear 19 is connected to the middle of the first rotating shaft 17. The second drum 18 is connected to the outer end of the first rotating shaft 17. The upper end of the transmission rope 14 is connected to the second drum 18. A second rotating shaft 21 is movably connected to the side wall of the placement platform 20. A third disc gear 23 is connected to the middle of the second rotating shaft 21. The third disc gear 23 meshes with the second disc gear 19. A pointer 25 is connected to the outer end of the second rotating shaft 21. A support frame 22 is provided on the placement platform 20. A dial 24 is connected to the upper end of the support frame 22. The middle part of the dial 24 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 21.

[0032] The rotation of the first drum 13 winds up the transmission rope 14, causing the second drum 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second drum 18 causes the first shaft 17 to rotate. The rotation of the first shaft 17 drives the second disc gear 19 to rotate. The rotation of the second disc gear 19 drives the third disc gear 23 to rotate. The rotation of the third disc gear 23 drives the second shaft 21 to rotate. The rotation of the second shaft 21 drives the pointer 25 to rotate. The pointer 25 rotates and points to the scale on the dial 24. The amount of oil in the tank 1 can be determined by the pointer 25 pointing to the scale on the dial 24.

[0033] Specifically, the alarm mechanism includes a second slide 26, which is opened on the side wall of the placement platform 20. A second slider 27 is slidably connected in the second slide 26. A sliding pin 28 is connected to the end face of the second slider 27. A connecting rod 31 is connected to the left side wall of the second slider 27. A first contact sensor 37 is connected to the upper left end face of the connecting rod 31. A second contact sensor 32 is connected to the side of the first contact sensor 37. A connecting block 29 is connected to the inner side wall of the second rotating shaft 21. A drive ring 30 is connected to the connecting block 29. A third slide 33 is opened above the second slide 26 on the side wall of the placement platform 20. A second spring 34 is connected to the left side wall of the third slide 33. The other end of the second spring 34 is connected to the first contact block 35. A second contact block 36 is connected above the third slide 33 on the side wall of the placement platform 20. A light alarm 39 and a sound alarm 38 are respectively connected to the upper end of the outer side wall of the tank body 1. It also includes a microcontroller. The first contact sensor 37 and the second contact sensor 32 are electrically connected to the microcontroller. The other end of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the light alarm 39 and the sound alarm 38, respectively. The second contact block 36 is located on the left side above the third slide groove 33.

[0034] When the second rotating shaft 21 rotates, the drive ring 30 rotates, pushing the second slider 27 to slide to the left end of the second slide groove 26. When the second slider 27 slides to the left end of the second slide groove 26, it pushes the first contact sensor 37 and the second contact sensor 32. When the first contact sensor 37 contacts the first contact block 35 (at this time, the oil filling amount has not yet reached the warning line), the first contact sensor 37 transmits a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller sends a signal to the light alarm 39, causing the light alarm 39 to emit a light alarm, reminding the staff that the oil filling amount of tank 1 is about to reach the maximum value. The second slider 27 continues to slide to the left end of the second slide groove 26. At this time, the first contact sensor 37 also pushes the first contact block 35 to slide to the left end. When the second contact sensor 32 contacts the second contact block 36, the second contact sensor 32 sends a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller sends a signal to the sound alarm 38, causing the light alarm 39 to emit an audible alarm, reminding the staff that the oil filling amount of tank 1 has reached the maximum value and oil filling can be stopped.

[0035] Working principle: Oil is injected into tank 1. The weight of the oil causes the supporting circular plate 2 to move downwards. The first slider 5 can limit the movement of the supporting circular plate 2. The downward movement of the supporting circular plate 2 causes the rack plate 6 to move downwards. The downward movement of the rack plate 6 drives the first disc gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of the first disc gear 9 drives the transmission rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 10 drives the first drum 13 to rotate. The rotation of the first drum 13 winds up the transmission rope 14, causing the second drum 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second drum 18 causes the first rotating shaft 17 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 17 drives the second disc gear 19 to rotate. The rotation of the second disc gear 19 drives the third disc gear 23 to rotate. The rotation of the third disc gear 23 drives the second rotating shaft 21 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 21 drives the pointer 25 to rotate. The pointer 25 rotates and points to the scale on the dial 24. The amount of oil injected into tank 1 can be determined by the pointer 25 pointing to the scale on the dial 24. When the second rotating shaft 21 rotates, the drive ring 30 rotates, pushing the second slider 27 to slide to the left end of the second slide groove 26. When the second slider 27 slides to the left end of the second slide groove 26, it pushes the first contact sensor 37 and the second contact sensor 32. When the first contact sensor 37 contacts the first contact block 35 (at this time, the oil filling amount has not yet reached the warning line), the first contact sensor 37 transmits a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller sends a signal to the light alarm 39, causing the light alarm 39 to emit a light alarm, reminding the staff that the oil filling amount of tank 1 is about to reach the maximum value. The second slider 27 continues to slide to the left end of the second slide groove 26. At this time, the first contact sensor 37 also pushes the first contact block 35 to slide to the left end. When the second contact sensor 32 contacts the second contact block 36, the second contact sensor 32 sends a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller sends a signal to the sound alarm 38, causing the light alarm 39 to emit an audible alarm, reminding the staff that the oil filling amount of tank 1 has reached the maximum value and oil filling can be stopped.
