[0002] The existing paint cans are made of steel barrels. When checking the remaining paint in the paint can, it is necessary to remove the can cover by screwing the screws, which is troublesome, time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, when spraying the processed products, if the remaining paint in the paint can is not checked in time and the paint is consumed, it will cause leakage, which is not conducive to the control of product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) The problem to be solved by the utility model is that the existing paint cans cannot quickly identify the remaining amount of paint.

[0025] The technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, one embodiment of the utility model provides a paint can, comprising a can body 1, a can cover 2 and a U-shaped tube 5; the can cover 2 covers the top opening of the can body 1; the can body 1 has a can cavity for accommodating paint, a first through hole is opened on the side wall of the can body 1 close to the top, and a second through hole is opened on the side wall close to the bottom, and both the first through hole and the second through hole are connected to the can cavity; one end of the U-shaped tube 5 is sealed connected to the first through hole, and the other end of the U-shaped tube 5 is sealed connected to the second through hole, and the U-shaped tube 5 is a transparent tube.

[0027] In this embodiment, the paint in the paint can will flow into the U-shaped tube 5 from the second through hole, and based on the communicating vessel principle, the liquid level of the paint in the paint can is flush with the liquid level of the paint entering the U-shaped tube 5. The U-shaped tube 5 is a transparent tube, so the remaining amount of paint in the paint can can be obtained by observing the paint level in the U-shaped tube 5. In this way, the remaining amount of paint can be judged in real time without manually disassembling the tank cover 2, thereby realizing rapid identification and saving time and effort. Moreover, when spraying the product, the paint level in the U-shaped tube 5 can be observed so as to replenish the paint in the paint can in time, thereby avoiding leakage caused by the exhaustion of paint.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the first through hole is arranged on the side wall of the tank body 1 near the top, and the second through hole is arranged on the side wall of the tank body 1 near the bottom. The first through hole is higher than the second through hole. One end of the U-shaped tube 5 is sealed connected to the first through hole, and the other end thereof is sealed connected to the second through hole.

[0029] In this way, the paint in the tank body 1 will enter the U-shaped tube 5 from the second through hole. According to the communicating vessel principle, the liquid level of the paint in the tank body 1 will eventually be flush with the liquid level of the paint in the U-shaped tube 5. The U-shaped tube 5 is a transparent tube, so the liquid level of the paint in the U-shaped tube 5 can be directly observed from the outside, which is equivalent to the liquid level of the paint in the tank body 1. The paint level in the tank body 1 can be observed without opening the tank cover 2, and the remaining amount of paint can be quickly identified, and the paint can be replenished in advance to avoid spraying leakage due to running out of paint.

[0030] It should be noted that the U-shaped tube 5 is a transparent plastic hose, specifically a transparent polytetrafluoroethylene hose.

[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first connecting tube 101 is sealed and installed in the first through hole, a second connecting tube 102 is sealed and installed in the second through hole, a first joint 3 is installed at the end of the first connecting tube 101 away from the first through hole, and a second joint 4 is installed at the end of the second connecting tube 102 away from the second through hole, and both the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are pneumatic joints.

[0032] Specifically, the inner walls of the first connecting tube 101 and the second connecting tube 102 are both provided with internal thread grooves, and the end of the pneumatic joint has external threads, so when installing the first joint 3 or the second joint 4, it is only necessary to tighten the threaded end of the first joint 3 into the first connecting tube 101, and tighten the threaded end of the second joint 4 into the second connecting tube 102. In addition, the pneumatic joint facilitates the installation of the U-shaped tube 5.

[0033] Since the first joint 3 or the second joint 4 can be disassembled at any time, when the first joint 3 or the second joint 4 is blocked, it is convenient to replace or repair it in time.

[0034] Optionally, internal thread grooves are provided in the first through hole and the second through hole. When installing the first joint 3 and the second joint 4, it is only necessary to tighten the threaded end of the first joint 3 and the threaded end of the second joint 4 into the first through hole and the second through hole respectively.

[0035] Preferably, in order to facilitate the judgment of whether the paint level is within the warning range, Figure 1 As shown, mark one 501 and mark two 502 are sequentially provided on the U-shaped tube 5 along its length direction, wherein mark two 502 is higher than the second connecting tube 102 and lower than mark one 501, and the vertical distance from mark two 502 to the second connecting tube 102 is 10 mm, and the vertical distance from mark one 501 to the second connecting tube 102 is 30 mm.

[0036] Specifically, both the mark 1 501 and the mark 2 502 are colored scale lines.

[0037] It should be noted that when the liquid level of the paint entering the U-shaped tube 5 is near the mark 1 501, the staff can know through observation that the remaining paint in the paint can is at the warning line, but it will not be consumed quickly. When the liquid level of the paint in the U-shaped tube 5 is near the mark 2 502, it is necessary to replenish it immediately, otherwise it is easy to cause the risk of leakage.

[0038] Optionally, scale lines are evenly arranged along the length of the U-shaped tube 5, and the scale lines extend from one end of the U-shaped tube 5 to the other end thereof. In this way, the scale lines can better help workers judge the liquid level of the paint entering the U-shaped tube 5, so as to more accurately display the remaining amount of paint in the paint can.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper" and "lower" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the insides of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
