[0033] The detailed embodiments shown below are intended to be illustrative of the various configurations of the subject technology and are not intended to represent the only configurations in which the subject technology can be practiced. The detailed embodiments include specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of the subject technology. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject technology can be practiced without

[0034] It can be understood that, in this document, the terms such as "first" and "second" are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, rather than to "imply or indicate any actual relationship or sequence between the entities or operations.

[0035] The terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element preceded by "comprises a" does not, without more constraints, foreclose the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the recited element.

[0037] The float switch 2 comprises a vertically arranged cylinder 21, the upper end of the cylinder 21 is provided with a switch assembly 22, the lower end of the cylinder 21 is provided with a float assembly 23, the switch assembly 22 is triggered by the float assembly 23, the float assembly 23 is slidingly connected to the cylinder 21, all the switch assemblies 22 are arranged in series, and the switch body 11 is triggered after all the switch assemblies 22 are triggered;

[0038] The cylinder 21 is fixed to the support 1 through a connecting frame 3.

[0039] The switch body 11 can be any non-mechanical switch. Specifically, all the float switches 2 are connected in series and electrically connected to the switch body 11. When all the float switches 2 are triggered, the main switch is closed. When one or more of the float switches 2 are not triggered, the switch body 11 cannot be triggered.

[0040] Since the plurality of float switches 2 are arranged in series, the plurality of float switches 2 can detect multiple positions of the liquid surface, and when the liquid surface is in a non-stationary state or is tilted, one or more of the plurality of float switches 2 cannot be triggered, so that the switch body 11 cannot be triggered. That is, the switch body 11 can be triggered only when all the float switches 2 are triggered, thereby improving the accuracy of the switch body 11 and reducing the risk of false operation of the switch body 11.

The arrangement of the guide ring 211 makes the slide rod 231 have higher displacement accuracy, and the slide rod 231 is not easy to be stuck during sliding, thereby effectively avoiding that the float switch 2 cannot be triggered. Since the slide rod 231 is not easy to be stuck, the float switch 2 has higher accuracy.

[0054] The level can be fixed to the support 1 in any manner, for example, by screwing.

[0055] The above has introduced the subject technical scheme of the utility model and corresponding details.
