[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structure schematic view of an embodiment of the storage of the present application.

[0025] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is a storage device 100, comprising a shell 1, a liquid level meter assembly 2 and a limiting assembly 3. The shell 1 comprises a bottom wall 11, a side wall 12 and a top wall 13, which cooperatively form a containing space 14 for containing liquid medium. The liquid level meter assembly 2 comprises a floating member 21, a supporting rod 22 and a guide pipe 23. The floating member 21 is arranged in the containing space 14. One end of the supporting rod 22 is connected with the floating member 21, and the other end penetrates through the top wall 13 and extends out of the containing space 14. The guide pipe 23 is connected with the shell 1, at least part of the guide pipe 23 is arranged outside the containing space 14, and the guide pipe 23 is sleeved on the supporting rod 22. The limiting assembly 3 comprises a first limiting assembly 31 and a second limiting assembly 32. The first limiting assembly 31 is arranged in the containing space 14 and connected with the bottom wall 11. The first limiting assembly 31 has a limiting portion for containing at least part of the floating member 21. When the floating member 21 is arranged in the limiting portion, the limiting portion is used for limiting the floating member 21 from moving along the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the supporting rod 22. The second limiting assembly 32 is connected with the supporting rod 22 and the guide pipe 23 to limit the floating member 21 from moving along the extending direction of the supporting rod 22.

[0026] In the present application, the floating member 21 is arranged in the containing space 14, one end of the supporting rod 22 is connected with the floating member 21, and the other end penetrates through the top wall 13 and extends out of the containing space 14. After the liquid medium is injected into the containing space 14, the floating member 21 will float on the liquid surface, and the change of the liquid level can be determined by the lifting of the supporting rod 22. Further, the guide pipe 23 is connected with the shell 1 and sleeved on the supporting rod 22, which can provide a fixed track for the lifting of the supporting rod 22. Further, the first limiting assembly 31 is arranged in the containing space 14 and connected with the bottom wall 11. When there is no liquid medium in the containing space 14, the floating member 21 is arranged in the limiting portion, and the limiting portion is used for limiting the floating member 21 from moving along the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the supporting rod 22, which can provide lateral limiting for the floating member 21 and reduce the problem of deformation of the supporting rod 22 caused by the lateral large swing of the floating member 21 during transportation and use of the storage device 100. Further, the second limiting assembly 32 is connected with the supporting rod 22 and the guide pipe 23 to limit the floating member 21 from moving along the extending direction of the supporting rod 22, which can provide longitudinal limiting for the liquid level meter assembly 2 and is beneficial to reduce the problem of up-and-down jumping of the floating member 21 in the longitudinal direction during transportation of the storage device 100. The up-and-down jumping of the floating member 21 in the longitudinal direction is also prevented by the second limiting assembly 32, which can prevent the floating member 21 from sliding out of the limiting portion of the first limiting assembly 31 when the storage device 100 is inverted.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the connection between the supporting rod 22 and the floating member 21 is an electric welding fixed connection.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the connection between the first limiting assembly 31 and the bottom wall 11 is an electric welding fixed connection.

[0029] In an embodiment, the bottom wall 11, the side wall 12 and the top wall 13 of the shell 1 are integrally formed.

[0030] In an embodiment, the connection between the conduit 23 and the shell 1 is a clamping connection or a welding connection.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second limiting assembly 32 comprises a limiting ring 321, the limiting ring 321 is sleeved on the support rod 22 and connected with the support rod 22, and the limiting ring 321 is arranged on a side of the conduit 23 away from the floating element 21.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, the limiting ring 321 is sleeved on the support rod 22 and connected with the support rod 22, and is arranged on a side of the conduit 23 away from the floating element 21, so that the limiting ring 321 can provide longitudinal downward limiting for the floating element 21. When there is no liquid medium in the accommodation space 4, the floating element 21 will not directly contact the bottom wall 11 through the downward movement distance limitation of the limiting ring 321.

[0033] In an embodiment, the connection between the limiting ring 321 and the support rod 22 is a welding fixed connection.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second limiting assembly 32 comprises a buckle 322 and a connecting column 323, the connecting column 323 is connected with the conduit 23, the buckle 322 comprises a first part 322a and a second part 322b connected with each other, the first part 322a is arranged on a surface of the limiting ring 321 away from the conduit 23, and the second part 322b is connected with the connecting column 323.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the connecting column 323 is connected with the conduit 23, the first part 322a of the buckle 322 is arranged on a surface of the limiting ring 321 away from the conduit 23, and the second part 322b of the buckle 322 is connected with the connecting column 323. Through the limitation of the first part 322a and the second part 322b, the support rod 22 and the conduit 23 cannot move relatively and separately, that is, the buckle 322 can provide longitudinal downward limiting for the floating element 21, which is beneficial to reduce the problem of up and down jumping of the floating element 21 in the longitudinal direction during the transportation of the storage device 100. Through the buckle 322 limiting the up and down jumping of the floating element 21 in the longitudinal direction, the floating element 21 can also be prevented from sliding out of the limiting part of the first limiting assembly 31 when the storage device 100 is inverted.

[0036] In an embodiment, the connection between the connecting column 323 and the conduit 23 is a welding fixed connection.

[0037] In an embodiment, the first part 322a and the second part 322b of the buckle 322 are clamped, welded or integrally formed.

[0038] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the connecting column 323 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conduit 23; the first part 322a and the second part 322b are arranged perpendicularly, and the second part 322b has a mounting hole through which the connecting column 323 passes.

[0039] In the embodiments, the extending direction of the connecting column 323 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conduit 23, and the first part 322a and the second part 322b are arranged perpendicularly, and the second part 322b has a mounting hole through which the connecting column 323 passes, which facilitates the more stable connection between the buckle 322 and the connecting column 323 and the stable longitudinal upward limiting of the floating member 21.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second limiting assembly 32 includes a connecting ring 324, which is sleeved on the connecting column 323 and arranged on the side of the second part 322b away from the conduit 23 to fix the buckle 322 and the connecting column 323.

[0041] In the embodiments, the connecting ring 324 is sleeved on the connecting column 323 and arranged on the side of the second part 322b away from the conduit 23, which facilitates the more stable connection between the buckle 322 and the connecting column 323 and the stable longitudinal upward limiting of the floating member 21.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connecting column 323 is a threaded column, and the connecting ring 324 is a nut, which is simple to assemble.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the floating member 21 is a spherical structure, and the first limiting assembly 31 is a circular ring structure; in the case that the spacing between the spherical structure and the bottom wall 11 is the smallest, at least part of the spherical structure is arranged in the circular ring structure.

[0044] In the embodiments, the floating member 21 is a spherical structure, which facilitates the increase of the surface area of the floating member 21, the reduction of the resistance when moving, the more sensitive response of the floating member 21 to the liquid level change, and the stronger stability. In the case that the spacing between the spherical structure and the bottom wall 11 is the smallest, at least part of the spherical structure is arranged in the circular ring structure, which can limit the movement of the floating member 21 along the extending direction perpendicular to the strut 22, and can simplify the system structure, reduce the processing difficulty, and save the material consumption. It should be noted that when the first limiting assembly 31 is a circular ring structure, the side wall of the circular ring structure is the limiting part of the first limiting assembly 31.

[0045] In some embodiments, the part of the spherical structure in the circular ring structure is an optimal arc, and the inner diameter of the circular ring structure is the same as the diameter of the spherical structure.

[0046] The optimal arc part of the spherical structure position is matched with the inner diameter of the annular structure, so that the risk of the spherical structure sliding out of the annular structure during transportation is reduced, and good limiting effect is achieved. In addition, in the case that the storage device 100 contains liquid medium, the floating piece 21 of the spherical structure can move smoothly in the first limiting assembly 31, reducing the influence of the first limiting assembly 31 on the liquid level detection of the floating piece 21, thereby maintaining the accuracy of the liquid level measurement.

[0047] In some embodiments, the storage device 100 further comprises a shell 4, the shell 1 is arranged in the shell 4, the shell 4 is arranged spaced apart from the shell 1, and the second limiting assembly 32 is arranged outside the shell 4.

[0048] The shell 4 arranged spaced apart outside the shell 1 helps to disperse and bear the external pressure that the shell 1 may be subjected to, thereby protecting the shell 1 and the liquid level meter assembly 2 inside from damage and enhancing the stability and durability of the storage device 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, the storage device 100 is a purifier.

[0050] The purifier of the embodiments of the present application can effectively reduce the problem of irreversible deformation of the support rod 22 of the liquid level meter assembly 2. By providing lateral limiting for the floating piece 21 of the purifier through the first limiting assembly 31, the problem of deformation of the support rod 22 caused by large lateral swing of the floating piece 21 of the purifier during transportation, movement and use can be reduced; by providing longitudinal limiting for the floating piece 21 of the purifier through the second limiting assembly 32, the problem of up-and-down jumping of the floating piece 21 in the longitudinal direction during transportation and movement of the purifier can be reduced; by limiting the up-and-down jumping of the floating piece 21 in the longitudinal direction through the second limiting assembly 32, the floating piece 21 can also be prevented from sliding out of the limiting part of the first limiting assembly 31 when the purifier is inverted.

[0051] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent flow transformation using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
