[0025] In use, the sensor is aligned with the flange on the container and inserted into the container from the center of the flange. The junction box 5 at the top of the conduit 1 is pressed down, causing the four fixing blocks 302 on the mounting base 201 to contact the flange on the container. When the inclined surface of the bottom of the fixing blocks 302 contacts the edge of the flange, the four fixing blocks 302 slide outward along the guide rod 301. The stop block 304 at the end of the guide rod 301 prevents the fixing blocks 302 from slipping off. The guide rod 301 increases the distance the fixing blocks 302 slide outward, facilitating the adaptation to flanges of different radii. It is suitable for measuring the liquid level inside containers of different diameters, exhibiting strong applicability, until the fixing blocks 302 no longer contact the upper surface of the flange. At this point, the bottom surface of the mounting base 201 is in contact with the upper surface of the flange. Simultaneously, the fixing block 302 slides into the groove 205 under the reset action of the spring 303. The bottom surface of the fixing block 302 abuts against the lower surface of the flange, and the side wall of the flange abuts against the fixing block 302. The rubber block 305 on the fixing block 302 abuts against the bottom surface of the flange, increasing the friction between them and improving stability. Then, the drive rod 204 on the rotating ring 202 is rotated. Due to the threaded connection between the rotating ring 202 and the mounting base 201, the rotating ring 202 moves upward. Simultaneously, the rotating ring 202 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 203 at the bottom, effectively preventing the connecting seat 203 from affecting the rotation of the rotating ring 202. The rotating ring 202 moves the connecting seat 203 upwards, causing the four fixing blocks 302 to press against the flange. Simultaneously, the bottom surface of the mounting base 201 contacts the upper surface of the flange, quickly and securely installing the sensor onto the container's flange. The bottom surface of the mounting base 201 is secured with a first rubber gasket 404 and a second rubber gasket 405, ensuring a tight seal between the sensor and the flange. The interlocking of the first and second rubber gaskets 404 and 405 facilitates future replacement; simply reverse the rotation of the rotating ring 202 to avoid repeated bolt disassembly, improving operational efficiency. The top of the mounting base 201 is secured by the first and second fixing rings 401 and 402. A rubber ring 403 further ensures sealing, and the first fixing ring 401 and the second fixing ring 402 are fixed together by screws 406, making disassembly and assembly convenient and flexible. When using the sensor, when the liquid level in the container changes, the liquid exerts buoyancy on the magnetic float 7, causing the magnetic float 7 to float up and down along the guide tube 1 as the liquid level rises or falls. The magnetic float 7 contains a magnet. During the downward movement of the magnetic float 7, the magnet inside it magnetically couples with the reed switch at the corresponding position inside the sensor. Therefore, when the magnet in the magnetic float 7 approaches the upper retaining ring 8 or the lower retaining ring 6, it changes the circuit state inside the sensor, thus converting the change in liquid level into a change in electrical signal. Through the detection and processing of this electrical signal…Remote detection, display, alarm and control functions of liquid level can be realized.

[0026] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
