[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a tank liquid level detection device consists of a partition cylinder 2, a laser ranging assembly 1 installed on the top of the partition cylinder 2, and an assembled protective cylinder 3 installed at the bottom of the partition cylinder 2.

[0020] A filter screen cover 5 is installed at the bottom of the assembled protective cylinder 3. A reflector 8 is placed inside the assembled protective cylinder 3. The reflector 8 is used to mark the liquid level height. The liquid level inside the tank is detected by measuring the distance through the laser rangefinder main body 12.

[0021] The assembled protective cylinder 3 is assembled from several individual protective cylinders 6. The inner cavity of the partition cylinder 2 is equipped with a light-transmitting partition 7 to facilitate the laser ranging assembly 1 to perform transmission ranging. The outer side of the partition cylinder 2 is fixedly installed with an mounting body 4 for installation onto the storage tank.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model also discloses the following more optimized specific structures:

[0023] The laser ranging assembly 1 consists of a housing 11, a laser ranging main body 12 installed inside the housing 11, and a housing inner rotating part 13 installed at the bottom of the housing 11. The laser ranging assembly 1 is screwed onto the separator cylinder 2 through the housing inner rotating part 13. A display structure is also installed on the housing 11 to facilitate the display of liquid level. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the housing to facilitate the passage of light.

[0024] The light-transmitting layer 7 is a flat transparent layer to avoid affecting the light.

[0025] The single protective cylinder 6 consists of a cylinder body 61, an inner rotating part 62 and an outer rotating part 63 respectively disposed at both ends of the cylinder body 61, and the inner rotating parts 62 and the outer rotating parts 63 of two adjacent single protective cylinders 6 are screwed together to achieve assembly.

[0026] The top of the filter screen cover 5 is provided with a cover end screw joint, and the filter screen cover 5 is screwed onto the assembled protective cylinder 3 through the cover end screw joint.

[0027] The mounting body 4 consists of a fixing ring 41 and a ring pad 42 located on the bottom ring surface of the fixing ring 41. The fixing ring 41 is fixed to the tank wall by bolts.

The internal liquid or volatile gas is isolated by the anti-corrosion light-transmitting layer 7 to achieve isolation of the detection element and avoid damage from long-term exposure to the chemical environment. The reflector 8 has a small thickness, and the immersion depth error of the floating body is small due to the different densities of different liquids. The liquid drives the reflector 8 to rise to the liquid level height, and the liquid level can be easily detected by distance detection.
