[0001] This application relates to the technical field of liquid container design, and more particularly, to a liquid storage tank with a liquid level display structure. Background Art
[0002] The structure of the liquid storage tank is a single-layer, vertical container, which is a device for buffering and storing liquids in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food.
[0003] Generally, the material used for the liquid storage tank is opaque, and workers cannot directly observe the remaining amount of the cleaning liquid stored in the liquid storage tank with the naked eye. Therefore, the situation where the cleaning liquid is not replenished in the liquid storage tank in a timely manner often occurs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Further, the pipe interface includes: a connecting pipe section and a tapered pipe section; one end of the connecting pipe section communicates with the inside of the liquid storage tank body, the other end of the connecting pipe section communicates with the tapered pipe section, and the tapered pipe section is inserted into the pipe cavity at the end of the liquid level pipe.
[0007] Further, the outer diameter of the connecting pipe section is larger than the outer diameter of the tapered pipe section, and the end face of the liquid level pipe contacts the end face of the connecting pipe section.

[0028] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0029] Referring to Figures 1-4 ,
[0030] A liquid storage tank with a liquid level display structure includes: a liquid storage tank main body 1 and a liquid level tube 2. The liquid storage tank main body 1 is an existing plastic-made liquid storage tank. Pipe connectors 11 communicating with the inside of the liquid storage tank main body 1 are respectively formed at the upper and lower parts of the liquid storage tank main body 1. The upper end of the liquid level tube 2 is butted and communicated with the pipe connector 11 at the upper part of the liquid storage tank main body 1 for keeping the air pressure inside the liquid storage tank main body 1 the same as the air pressure in the liquid level tube 2. The lower end of the liquid level tube 2 is butted and communicated with the pipe connector 11 at the lower part of the liquid storage tank main body 1. The liquid level tube 2 and the liquid storage tank main body 1 cooperate to form a structure of a communicating vessel. The cleaning liquid flows into the liquid level tube 2 from the pipe connector 11 at the lower part of the liquid storage tank main body 1, and the liquid level height in the liquid level tube 2 is the liquid level height in the liquid storage tank main body 1.
[0031] Specifically, the pipe connector 11 includes: a connecting pipe section 111 and a tapered pipe section 112. One end of the connecting pipe section 111 is communicated with the inside of the liquid storage tank main body 1, and the other end of the connecting pipe section 111 is communicated with the tapered pipe section 112. The outer diameter of the tapered pipe section 112 gradually contracts at the end away from the connecting pipe section 111, so that when installing the liquid level tube 2, workers can easily insert the tapered pipe section 112 into the pipe cavity at the end of the liquid level tube 2.
[0032] Specifically, the outer diameter of the connecting pipe section 111 is larger than that of the tapered pipe section 112. The end face of the end of the liquid level pipe 2 contacts and is watertightly fitted with the end face of the connecting pipe section 111 to ensure the tightness of the connection between the liquid level pipe 2 and the pipe interface 11 and prevent the cleaning liquid from leaking from the connection between the liquid level pipe 2 and the pipe interface 11.
[0033] Specifically, it further includes: a pipe clamp 3. The pipe clamp 3 is sleeved on the end of the liquid level pipe 2, and the pipe clamp 3 applies a radial force towards the tapered pipe section 112 to press the inner wall of the liquid level pipe 2 against the outer wall of the tapered pipe section 112, preventing the cleaning liquid from leaking.
[0034] Specifically, the liquid level pipe 2 is flexible, facilitating the worker to bend the liquid level pipe 2 when installing the liquid level pipe 2 onto the pipe interface 11.
[0035] In another embodiment, a liquid level scale 21 is provided on the liquid level pipe 2, and the worker can directly read the specific value of the liquid level height in the liquid storage tank main body 1 from the liquid level pipe 2.
[0036] Specifically, it further includes: a buoy 4. The buoy 4 is placed in the liquid level pipe 2. After the cleaning liquid enters the liquid level pipe 2, under the action of buoyancy, the buoy 4 is lifted by the cleaning liquid. When the cleaning liquid is in a colorless and transparent state, the worker can directly read the value of the liquid level height in the liquid storage tank main body 1 according to the liquid level scale 21 aligned with the buoy 4.
[0037] Specifically, a plurality of friction strips 41 are formed in a circumferential array on the side surface of the buoy 4. The friction strips 41 contact the inner wall of the liquid level pipe 2. As the liquid level height in the liquid level pipe 2 changes, the buoy 4 floats up and down, so that the friction strips 41 move up and down to wipe the inner wall of the low liquid level pipe 2, preventing some colored cleaning liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the liquid level pipe 2 and causing the worker to be unable to observe the height of the cleaning liquid in the liquid level pipe 2.
[0038] The above description is only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept. For example, the technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) having similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
