[0023] Embodiment 2
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model proposes a high-reliability, low-cost float valve. Compared with the first embodiment, the buoyancy component 3 includes an aluminum metal bottle 31, and the left end of the aluminum metal bottle 31 is threadedly installed with a metal bottle cap 32, and the metal bottle cap 32 is snap-fitted and installed in the clamping ring 17; a fluororubber gasket 33 is detachably installed on the left inner wall of the metal bottle cap 32, and the fluororubber gasket 33 abuts against the left side of the aluminum metal bottle 31; an O-type limit ring 34 is provided on the outer fixing sleeve of the aluminum metal bottle 31, and the left side of the O-type limit ring 34 abuts against the right side of the supporting sheet metal 11.
[0025] In this embodiment: the aluminum metal bottle 31 and the metal bottle cover 32 are provided to drive the support sheet metal 11 to rotate. After the aluminum metal bottle 31 and the metal bottle cover 32 are assembled, they will float on the surface of the liquid in the oil tank. When the liquid level rises, the aluminum metal bottle 31 is provided with an upward buoyancy, and the aluminum metal bottle 31 drives the support sheet metal 11 to rotate upward through the metal bottle cover 32. When the liquid does not provide an upward buoyancy, the aluminum metal bottle 31 drives the support sheet metal 11 to rotate downward through its own gravity. The fluororubber gasket 33 is provided to increase the sealing when the aluminum metal bottle 31 is connected to the metal bottle cover 32. The O-type limit ring 34 is provided to limit the movement between the aluminum metal bottle 31 and the support sheet metal 11 to avoid displacement between the aluminum metal bottle 31 and the support sheet metal 11, thereby ensuring that the device can accurately detect the oil level.
[0026] Working principle: When using this device, install it in the oil tank, and make the end of the connector 21 away from the aluminum metal bottle 31 connected to the vacuum pump body. When the liquid level in the oil tank continues to rise, the liquid will provide buoyancy to the aluminum metal bottle 31, and the aluminum metal bottle 31 will drive the supporting sheet metal 11 to rotate upward through the metal bottle cover 32, so that the fluororubber block 13 clamped on the left side of the supporting sheet metal 11 releases the seal on the throttle hole 24, so that a pressure difference is generated between the vacuum pump body and the oil tank, and the liquid enters the vacuum pump body through the throttle hole 24. The liquid level in the oil tank will decrease until the liquid level is lower than the bottom side of the aluminum metal bottle 31. After the aluminum metal bottle 31 loses buoyancy, it drives the supporting sheet metal 11 to rotate downward through its own weight, so that the fluororubber block 13 can firmly abut and seal the throttle hole 24.
[0027] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention.
