[0025] In the utility model, high liquid level sensor 101 and low liquid level sensor 102 are used for monitoring the height of liquid level in evaporator 100 respectively, avoid the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated in evaporator being too high or too low and influencing the normal work of heating coil. In order to avoid the probe of liquid level sensor being blocked by impurities in liquid to be evaporated and causing the normal work of liquid level sensor, the cleaning mechanism is designed, the high pressure gas flow or high pressure water flow can be impacted to high liquid level sensor 101 and low liquid level sensor 102 respectively to ensure that liquid level sensor can carry out accurate detection, in preferred embodiment, in order to avoid liquid level sensor (especially low liquid level sensor 102) being below the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated for a long time, the rotation of driving unit 21 (servo motor) can rotate connecting pipe 221, first branch pipe 222 and second branch pipe 223, so that first branch pipe 222 and second branch pipe 223 can be in two states before and after rotation: one state is that liquid level sensor needs to be cleaned, at least second branch pipe 223 can be driven to be below the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated, and is used for aiming at low liquid level sensor 102, and the high pressure gas flow or high pressure water flow is used for washing low liquid level sensor 102 blocked by impurities to play a cleaning role, and first branch pipe 222 also aims at high liquid level sensor 101 for cleaning (the position state of first branch pipe 222 and its work are not influenced by the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated, that is, the position of first branch pipe 222 can be above the state when the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated is high, and also can be below the position), another state is that first branch pipe 222 and second branch pipe 223 can be driven to be above the position of high liquid level sensor 101, that is, above the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated, so that the end of cleaning part 22 (first branch pipe 222, second branch pipe 223 and the respective ends) does not need to be immersed in liquid to be evaporated for a long time, and the cleaning part 22 can be prevented from being blocked, and the use efficiency and service life of the cleaning part 22 are improved.

[0026] The cleaning part 22 (especially first branch pipe 222 and second branch pipe 223) can be driven to be immersed in liquid to be evaporated in the working state, and the high pressure gas flow or high pressure water flow is used for cleaning liquid level sensor, the normal work of liquid level sensor is ensured, and the cleaning part is driven to be above the liquid level of liquid to be evaporated in the non-working state, the cleaning part is prevented from being immersed in liquid to be evaporated for a long time, and liquid to be evaporated is prevented from entering the cleaning part, and the service life of the cleaning part is improved.

[0027] Preferably, the height position of driving unit 21 is above the liquid level sensor (high liquid level sensor 101) located above, and the vertical projection of the two in the horizontal plane is located at the two ends of 1 / 4 circular arc, that is, driving unit 21 is arranged above the 1 / 4 circular arc of the plane where high liquid level sensor 101 is located on the side wall of evaporator 100, driving unit 21 drives cleaning part 22 to rotate conveniently, and a large transverse space in evaporator 100 is not occupied.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting pipe 221 includes a straight pipe 2211 and an arc-shaped pipe 2212 connected together.
