When the oil pipe is hung on the hanging column 14, the valve block of the oil pipe is clamped into the clamping groove 147, so that the oil pipe can be firmly clamped on the hanging column 14, effectively preventing the oil pipe from falling. The end cover 142 is fixedly connected to the main column 141 by welding.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The indicator light 20 is fixedly arranged on the main board 11, and the number of the indicator lights 20 is two, and the two indicator lights 20 correspond to one hanging column 14. The proximity switch 30 is arranged in the hanging column 14, and the proximity switch 30 corresponds to the hanging column 14 one by one.

[0037] See also Figure 3 The sensing component 40 is arranged in the hanging column 14, and the sensing component 40 includes a telescopic rod 41 and a sensing sheet 42. The telescopic rod 41 includes a rod portion 411 and a limiting portion 412 connected to the rod portion 411, and the limiting portion 412 is arranged on the outer wall of the rod portion 411. One end of the rod portion 411 is fixedly connected to the sensing sheet 42, and the other end of the rod portion 411 passes through the through hole 146 and extends out of the end cover portion 142. The limiting portion 412 is arranged between the baffle 143 and the end of the end cover portion 142 away from the main column portion 141.
