Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel tank measuring equipment, in particular to an automatic horizontal zero position adjustment mechanism for fuel tank measuring equipment. Background Art
[0002] The main purpose of fuel tank height and volume measurement is to verify the accuracy of fuel measurement equipment and ensure accurate monitoring and management of fuel consumption. Before measuring the height and volume of the fuel tank, the fuel tank measurement equipment needs to adjust and confirm the zero position at the bottom of the fuel tank. This zero position is the starting point of the test and must be correct to ensure accurate measurement.
[0003] The existing method for adjusting the zero position is to manually shake the hand wheel to drive the communicating vessel measuring barrel to move up and down, and manually observe whether there is liquid in the fuel tank. When there is just liquid in the fuel tank, stop shaking the hand wheel. At this time, the position of the communicating vessel is the zero position of the test. However, adjustment in this way will be sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it is impossible to confirm the time when the liquid level in the fuel tank is just filled. Sometimes liquid will rush into the fuel tank, and sometimes it will be insufficient, which will cause inaccurate zero position. At the same time, manual adjustment of the zero position requires manual observation to determine whether it has reached the zero position, which may be inaccurate due to angles and other issues. In addition, before each replacement of a different fuel tank for testing, a lot of time is required for adjustment, which seriously affects the progress of the test. Utility Model Content
