[0024] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring assembly 2 includes cross stand 20, cross stand 20 is fixedly connected in the middle part of the inner wall of upper and lower two sides of oil storage tank body 10, the outer wall of cross stand 20 is slidably connected with liquid level float 21, the outer wall of liquid level float 21 is fixedly connected with float pole 22 on the front and back of two sides, the rear end of rear float pole 22 is fixedly connected with balance block 23, the front end of front float pole 22 is fixedly connected with permanent magnet one 24 with the same mass as magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring assembly 2.
[0025] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, the upper and lower two sides of the front side wall of oil storage tank body 10 are fixedly connected with side plate 25, the opposite surface of the upper and lower two side plates 25 is fixedly connected with two left and right symmetrical slide rods 291, the outer wall of left and right two slide rods 291 is slidably connected with slide block 26, the opposite surface of left and right two slide blocks 26 is fixedly connected with permanent magnet two 27 with magnetic attraction to permanent magnet one 24, the outer wall of permanent magnet one 24, balance block 23, permanent magnet two 27 does not contact with oil storage tank body 10 to reduce friction.
[0026] As Figure 3 ,Figure 4 As shown, an alarm 290 is fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the upper and lower side plates 25, and an electrode block 293 electrically connected to the opposite surfaces of the upper and lower alarms 290 is fixedly connected to them. A scale groove 29 is opened on the left side of the front side wall of the oil storage tank body 10, and a scale line 292 is set inside the scale groove 29. A liquid level pointer 28 is fixedly connected to the front side of the permanent magnet 27.
[0027] When liquid is injected into the oil storage tank body 10, the liquid level changes, and the magnetically coupled non-contact liquid level measurement component 2 installed inside the oil storage tank body 10 starts to work. The liquid level float 21 slides up and down on the crossbar 20 due to the buoyancy of the liquid. The balance block 23 and permanent magnet 24 move with the up and down movement of the liquid level float 21. Simultaneously, the two float rods 22 provide additional buoyancy. Due to the magnetic relationship between permanent magnet 24 and permanent magnet 27... Due to the attraction between the two, and with permanent magnet 27 fixed to the two sliders 26 on the left and right sides, and sliders 26 slidably connected to the sliding rods 291 on the opposite sides of the upper and lower side plates 25, when permanent magnet 24 moves up and down, it will drive permanent magnet 27 to move synchronously on the sliding rods 291. The liquid level pointer 28 fixedly connected to the front side of permanent magnet 27 will move up and down in the scale groove 29 on the left side of the front side wall of the oil tank body 10. The scale groove 29 is provided with scale lines 292. The liquid level pointer 28 moves up and down in the scale groove. The liquid level can be read directly from the position within 29. When the liquid level reaches the predetermined minimum or maximum limit position, the alarm 290 and the electrode block 293 fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the upper and lower side plates 25 will function. For example, when the liquid level is too high or too low, the slider 26 drives the permanent magnet 27 to the corresponding position and contact the electrode block 293, triggering the alarm 290 and issuing an alarm signal to remind the operator to take appropriate measures. Through the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring component 2, the interaction between the permanent magnet 24 and the permanent magnet 27 is transmitted through the magnetic field, avoiding the physical contact and friction between components that may occur in the traditional contact measurement method. This allows the liquid level float 21 to move up and down with the liquid level more quickly and accurately, improving the measurement accuracy. At the same time, the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring component does not rely on mechanical seals, which greatly improves the safety of the oil storage tank and avoids the risk of leakage caused by poor mechanical seals.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the oil tank inner wall cleaning component 3 includes two reciprocating screws 30. The two reciprocating screws 30 are rotatably connected to the rear side of the upper and lower inner walls of the oil tank body 10 and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. Two left-right symmetrical motors 31 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the oil tank body 10. The output ends of the left and right motors 31 penetrate into the interior of the oil tank body 10 and are fixedly connected to the ends of the left and right reciprocating screws 30 respectively.
[0029] As Figure 5 shown, the upper and lower two sides of the oil tank body 10 are fixedly connected with two symmetrically left and right sliding rods two 32, the outer wall of the reciprocating screw rod 30 is threadedly connected with the cleaning brush 33 which is slidably connected with the outer wall of the sliding rod two 32, and the outer wall of the cleaning brush 33 is attached to the inner wall of the oil tank body 10.
[0030] When the inner wall of the oil tank needs to be cleaned, the motor 31 is started, the motor 31 drives the reciprocating screw rod 30 to rotate, the outer wall of the reciprocating screw rod 30 is threadedly connected with the cleaning brush 33, and the cleaning brush 33 is also slidably connected with the sliding rod two 32 fixedly connected with the upper and lower two sides of the oil tank body 10. Thus, under the rotation of the reciprocating screw rod 30, the cleaning brush 33 will reciprocate up and down along the sliding rod two 32, and since the outer wall of the cleaning brush 33 is attached to the inner wall of the oil tank body 10, the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 can be cleaned during the up and down movement of the cleaning brush 33. By setting the oil tank inner wall cleaning assembly 3, the impurities, oil stains and the like attached to the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 can be effectively removed, the cleanliness of the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 is maintained, the erosion of dirt to the tank wall is reduced, thereby prolonging the service life of the oil tank and reducing the frequency and cost of equipment updating, while ensuring the normal use of the oil tank and the accuracy of liquid level measurement.
[0031] It should be particularly noted that the alarm 290 can be a buzzer type alarm, such as model AD16-22SM, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here; when the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 does not need to be cleaned, the cleaning brush 33 is at the uppermost part inside the oil tank body 10, avoiding affecting the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measurement assembly 2; at the same time, the oil tank body 10 is made of non-metallic material, such as glass steel material, to avoid affecting the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measurement assembly 2.
[0032] The working principle of the oil tank liquid level measurement device will be described in detail below.
[0033] As Figures 1-5As shown, when liquid is injected into the oil tank body 10, the liquid level will change, and the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring assembly 2 arranged inside the oil tank body 10 starts to work. The liquid level float 21 slides up and down on the cross stand 20 due to the buoyancy of the liquid. The balance block 23 and the permanent magnet 24 move up and down with the liquid level float 21. The two float rods 22 also provide a part of the buoyancy. Since there is a magnetic attraction between the permanent magnet 1 24 and the permanent magnet 2 27, and the permanent magnet 2 27 is fixed on the two sliders 26, and the sliders 26 are slidingly connected to the slide rods 291 on the opposite sides of the upper and lower side plates 25, when the permanent magnet 1 24 moves up and down, it will drive the permanent magnet 2 27 to move synchronously on the slide rods 291. The liquid level pointer 28 fixedly connected to the front side of the permanent magnet 2 27 moves up and down on the left side of the scale groove 29 on the front side wall of the oil tank body 10. The scale groove 29 is provided with scale lines 292. The liquid level height can be directly read by the position of the liquid level pointer 28 in the scale groove 29. When the liquid level reaches the predetermined minimum or maximum limit position, the alarm 290 fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the upper and lower side plates 25 and the electrode block 293 connected thereto will work. For example, when the liquid level is too high or too low, the slider 26 drives the permanent magnet 2 27 to the corresponding position and contacts the electrode block 293, triggering the alarm 290 to send an alarm signal and reminding the operator to take corresponding measures. Through the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring assembly 2, the interaction between the permanent magnet 1 24 and the permanent magnet 2 27 is transmitted by the magnetic field. The physical contact and friction between the components in the traditional contact type measuring method are avoided, so that the liquid level float 21 can follow the liquid level up and down more quickly and accurately, and the measurement accuracy is improved. At the same time, the magnetic coupling non-contact liquid level measuring assembly does not depend on mechanical sealing, which greatly improves the safety of the oil tank and avoids the risk of leakage caused by poor mechanical sealing.
[0034] When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the oil tank, the motor 31 is started, the motor 31 drives the reciprocating screw rod 30 to rotate, and the cleaning brush 33 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw rod 30. At the same time, the cleaning brush 33 is also slidingly connected to the slide rod two 32 fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the upper and lower sides of the oil tank body 10. In this way, under the rotation of the reciprocating screw rod 30, the cleaning brush 33 will reciprocate up and down along the slide rod two 32. Since the outer wall of the cleaning brush 33 is in close contact with the inner wall of the oil tank body 10, the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 can be cleaned during the up and down movement of the cleaning brush 33. Through the oil tank inner wall cleaning assembly 3, the attached impurities and oil stains on the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 can be effectively removed, the cleanliness of the inner wall of the oil tank body 10 is maintained, the erosion of dirt to the tank wall is reduced, the service life of the oil tank is prolonged, the frequency and cost of equipment updating are reduced, and the normal use of the oil tank and the accuracy of the liquid level measurement are ensured.

Therefore, the modification or improvement without departing from the utility model's thought spirit, all are within the utility model's protection scope.
