[0026] As preferred, in order to ensure the stability of the connection, the stainless steel shell 5 comprises an upper cylinder body 501 and a lower cylinder body 502, the lower opening end surface of the upper cylinder body 501 is provided with an annular convex ring 503, the upper opening end surface of the lower cylinder body 502 is provided with an annular groove 504 matched with the annular convex ring 503, and the upper cylinder body 501 and the lower cylinder body 502 are connected together through welding at the joint. Through the above structure, the annular convex ring 503 is added, the contact area of the connection between the upper cylinder body 501 and the lower cylinder body 502 is larger, and the stability of the connection after welding is stronger.
[0027] As preferred, in order to limit the straight rack 8, a sliding rail groove 901 is arranged on the connecting support 9, the straight rack 8 is slidingly connected in the sliding rail groove 901 and partially extends out of the sliding rail groove 901, a limiting block 14 is arranged on the upper side of the straight rack 8 and limits the straight rack 8 in the sliding rail groove 901, when the straight rack 8 moves to the lower surface of the limiting block 14 and is attached to the connecting support 9, the whole straight rack 8 cannot be taken out of the sliding rail groove 901 under the action of the limiting block 14, and the limiting block 14 further limits the straight rack 8.
[0028] As a preferred, in order to avoid the shaft 11 and the hole two 18 hard contact sound, the stainless steel shell 5 side is provided with hole two 18, the shaft 11 is inserted into the hole two 18, and the hole two 18 inside and the shaft 11 are provided with silica gel ring 19, by adding silica gel ring 19 outside the shaft 11 can avoid the shaft 11 and the hole two 18 hard contact and cause the shaft 11 to rotate in the process of emitting irritating sound.
[0029] In operation, according to the requirements, the knob 12 can be rotated to drive the gear 10 to rotate. Since the gear 10 is engaged with the straight rack 8, the rotation of the gear 10 drives the straight rack 8 to move up and down, so as to adjust the height of the guide rod 3, and finally to realize the appropriate adjustment of the initial height of the lower annular floating ball 1, so that it can adapt to the installation requirements of different liquid level depths. Meanwhile, the shell is made of stainless steel, which is not affected by corrosive media, so that the service life is longer, and frequent replacement and maintenance are not required, thereby reducing the operating cost of enterprises. In addition, it is resistant to high temperature and high pressure.
[0030] During installation, the device is installed in the corresponding liquid level environment. As the liquid level in the liquid level environment rises, the liquid enters the stainless steel shell 5 through the lower circular hole 6. When the liquid level slowly rises to the point that the annular floating ball 1 inside the stainless steel shell 5 is floated along the lifting rod 13 to be close to the magnetic reed switch 2 and located outside the magnetic reed switch, the annular magnet 7 in the annular floating ball 1 attracts the closing of the magnetic reed switch 2. When the liquid level in the liquid level environment slowly decreases, the liquid in the stainless steel shell 5 slowly flows out from the bottom circular hole 6. At this time, the annular floating ball 1 slowly moves away from the magnetic reed switch 2, so that the magnetic reed switch 2 returns to the initial state. In this way, the floating of the annular floating ball 1 makes the magnetic reed switch 2 produce opening and closing action, so as to control the liquid level.
