[0031] A rubber ring 2 is sleeved on the side wall of the circumference of the floating plate 1 , and the rubber ring 2 is fixedly installed on the floating plate 1 . The rubber ring 2 is located below the first airbag 3 .
[0032] The rubber ring 2 is used to buffer the circumferential edge of the floating plate 1 to prevent the floating plate 1 from expanding the inner wall of the oil storage tank when floating, and also to prevent the floating plate 1 from squeezing the first airbag 3 when floating.
[0033] The floating plate 1 is made of one of aluminum, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and stainless steel, and the materials of the floating plate 1 include but are not limited to the materials shown above.

The other end of the first conduit 4 is fixedly installed with the first air bag 3 and the two are connected. One end of the second conduit 7 is fixedly installed with the gas outflow end of the gas delivery member 5 and the two are connected. The middle part of the second conduit 7 passes through the floating plate 1. The other end of the second conduit 7 is fixedly installed with the second air bag 9 and the two are connected.
[0037] The gas outflow end of the gas delivery member 5 is fixedly mounted with a three-way joint, and the gas outflow end of the gas delivery member 5 is connected to the first conduit 4 and the second conduit 7 through the three-way joint. The gas produced by the gas delivery member 5 is transported to the first airbag 3 through the first conduit 4, and the gas produced by the gas delivery member 5 is transported to the second airbag 9 through the second conduit 7.
[0038] Specifically, a first valve 6 is provided on the first conduit 4 , and a second valve 8 is provided on the second conduit 7 .
[0039] The first valve 6 is used to control the on-off of the first conduit 4, and the second valve 8 is used to control the on-off of the second conduit 7. Both the first valve 6 and the second valve 8 can be electromagnetic valves, and both the first valve 6 and the second valve 8 are electrically connected to the control board through wires. The control board controls the opening or closing of the first valve 6 in a timely manner. The control board controls the opening or closing of the second valve 8 in a timely manner.
[0040] Specifically, the gas delivery component 5 adopts an air pump, but is not limited to an air pump, and other gas delivery equipment may also be adopted.
[0041] Specifically, a bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the floating plate 1, a placement position is formed between the bracket 10 and the floating plate 1, the second airbag 9 is arranged on the bracket 10 and located at the placement position, and the second airbag 9 is fixedly installed with the bracket 10. The bracket 10 is composed of a support ring 101, a plurality of support rods 102, and at least two connecting rods 103. At least two connecting rods 103 are arranged in an annular array on the outer side wall of the support ring 101, and the lower end of the connecting rod 103 is fixedly connected to the support ring 101, and the upper end of the connecting rod 103 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the floating plate 1. Each support rod 102 is arranged in an annular array on the inner side wall of the support ring 101, and each support rod 102 is fixedly connected to the support ring 101.
[0042] The bracket 10 is used to support and fix the second airbag 9 so that the second airbag 9 is located at the center below the floating plate 1 to prevent the second airbag 9 from shifting. The support ring 101 and the support rods 102 are used to support and fix the second airbag 9 below. The connecting rods 103 are used to limit and fix the second airbag 9 on the side to prevent the second airbag 9 from shifting.
[0043] For example 3, please refer to Figure 3 to Figure 4 The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that at least one guide bar 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the floating plate 1, and the guide bar 11 is perpendicular to the floating plate 1. A central guide column 12 in a vertical state is fixedly installed inside the oil storage tank, and at least one guide groove 121 is opened on the side wall of the central guide column 12. The guide bar 11 is slidably connected to the central guide column 12 through the guide groove 121.
[0044] Among them, the guide bar 11 and the central guide column 12 are used to guide the floating plate 1, so that the floating plate 1 as a whole moves up and down along the axial direction, that is, it floats and rises and falls with the rise and fall of the liquid level of the fluid medium in the oil storage tank. When the floating plate 1 rises and falls, it pushes the guide bar 11 to rise and fall, and the guide bar 11 rises and slides on the central guide column 12. During the lifting and moving process, the floating plate 1 is restricted by the guide bar 11 and the central guide column 12 and cannot be laterally offset, that is, the floating plate 1 cannot move laterally, which prevents the floating plate 1 from squeezing the first airbag 3 due to lateral movement and prevents the floating plate 1 from colliding with the inner wall of the oil storage tank due to lateral movement, thereby reducing safety hazards.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
