Detailed Implementation

[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a bucket assembly 100 and a cooking device according to some embodiments of the present invention. The bucket assembly 100 is applied to the cooking device, which may be a smart stir-fry machine, a smart ingredient dispenser, etc.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a barrel assembly 100, including: a barrel body 110 for containing oil; a heating assembly 120 located inside the barrel body 110 and used to heat the oil contained in the barrel body 110; and a heat-conducting element 121 that is in contact with the heating assembly 120 and transfers the heat from the heating assembly 120 to the oil.

[0029] The container body 110 is used to hold oil. Specifically, the oil held in the container body 110 can be liquid oil, a solid-liquid mixture of oil, or solid grease. Specifically, because oil (such as edible oil) has a low freezing point, it easily solidifies in low-temperature environments or at room temperature. For example, in northern winters, edible oil is mostly a solid-liquid mixture or solid grease. It is understandable that heating a solid-liquid mixture of oil or solid grease will melt the mixture or grease back into liquid oil and change its temperature.

[0030] The barrel assembly 100 provided in this embodiment includes a barrel body 110, a heating assembly 120, and a heat-conducting element 121. The barrel body 110 is used to contain oil, and the heating assembly 120 is located inside the barrel body 110 and is used to heat the oil contained in the barrel body 110. This allows the solid-liquid mixture or solid grease inside the barrel body 110 to be heated and melted into liquid oil, facilitating feeding using a liquid pump. The heat-conducting element 121 is in contact with the heating assembly 120 and transfers the heat from the heating assembly 120 to the oil. The heat-conducting element 121 improves the thermal conductivity of the heating assembly 120, ensuring that the heat generated by the heating assembly 120 can be transferred to the oil quickly and comprehensively, thereby improving heating efficiency and accelerating the oil melting speed.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the heat-conducting element 121 is arranged in contact with the heating component 120, so that the heat generated by the heating component 120 can be transferred to the heat-conducting element 121 directly and quickly, and then transferred to the oil directly and quickly through the heat-conducting element 121, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the heating component 120 and accelerating the oil melting speed.

[0032] Specifically, the heating component 120 can be a heating wire, a heating tube, or other heating structure. The heat-conducting component 121 can be made of aluminum or other heat-conducting materials.

[0033] It is understandable that by reasonably setting the contact area between the heat-conducting component 121 and the heating component 120, and the contact area between the heat-conducting component 121 and the oil in the barrel body 110, the heat-conducting component 121 and the heating component 120 can work together to keep the oil in the barrel body 110 at a constant temperature for a certain period of time after it has melted into liquid.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the heating component 120 is disposed near the bottom wall of the barrel body 110, and the heating component 120 is at least partially attached to the upper end surface and / or lower end surface and / or side end surface of the heat-conducting component 121.

[0035] In this embodiment, the heating component 120 is positioned close to the bottom wall of the barrel body 110, which can extend the time for the oil to soak the heating component 120. Even when the oil level in the barrel body 110 is low, the oil can still soak the heating component 120, avoiding the problem of the heating component 120 being exposed to the air and burning dry, which helps to extend the service life of the heating component 120. At the same time, it also allows oil with a low level to be heated, reducing or avoiding the situation where the oil is too little and easily solidifies and cannot be used, thus improving the utilization rate of the oil.

[0036] By attaching at least a portion of the heating component 120 to the upper end face, and / or lower end face, and / or side end face of the heat conductor 121, the arrangement requirements of the heating component 120 and the heat conductor 121 at different positions and with different structures can be met. At the same time, the distance between the heating component 120 and the heat conductor 121 can be minimized as much as possible, so that the heat generated by the heating component 120 can be directly transferred to the heat conductor 121 in contact with it, thereby increasing the heating efficiency of the heating component 120 through the heat conductor 121 and accelerating the oil melting speed.

[0037] Specifically, a portion of the heating component 120 may be attached to the heat-conducting element 121, such that a portion of the heating component 120 is in contact with the heat-conducting element 121. For example, a portion of the heating component 120 may be attached to the upper end face of the heat-conducting element 121, or a portion of the heating component 120 may be attached to the lower end face of the heat-conducting element 121, or a portion of the heating component 120 may be attached to both the upper and lower end faces of the heat-conducting element 121, or a portion of the heating component 120 may be attached to both the upper and side end faces of the heat-conducting element 121, or a portion of the heating component 120 may be attached to both the lower and side end faces of the heat-conducting element 121, or a portion of the heating component 120 may be in contact with the upper, lower, and side end faces of the heat-conducting element 121.

[0038] Alternatively, the entire heating component 120 can be fitted to the heat-conducting element 121, so that the entire heating component 120 is in contact with the heat-conducting element 121. For example, the entire heating component 120 can be fitted to the upper end face, lower end face, and side end face of the heat-conducting element 121, so as to maximize the contact area between the heat-conducting element 121 and the heating component 120, thereby maximizing the heating efficiency of the heating component 120 and increasing the oil melting speed.

[0039] In some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the heat-conducting element 121 is arranged opposite to the bottom wall and / or side wall of the barrel body 110, and the heat-conducting element 121 is configured as a plate-like structure. This increases the relative area between the heat-conducting element 121 and the inner wall of the barrel body 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the heat-conducting element 121 and the oil inside the barrel body 110, enabling rapid transfer of heat from the heating assembly 120 to the oil, and accelerating the oil melting speed.

[0040] Furthermore, the heat-conducting component 121 can be arranged opposite to the bottom surface of the barrel body 110, or the heat-conducting component 121 can be arranged opposite to the side wall of the barrel body 110, or the heat-conducting component 121 can be arranged opposite to both the bottom wall and the side wall of the barrel body 110.

[0041] In some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the projected area of ​​the heat-conducting element 121 on the plane containing the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110 is greater than 3 / 4 of the area of ​​the inner bottom wall. This ensures that a larger area of ​​the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110 is opposite to the heat-conducting element 121, thereby ensuring a larger contact area between the oil contained in the barrel body 110 and the heat-conducting element 121. This ensures that the heat from the heating assembly 120 can be transferred to the oil relatively quickly and comprehensively through the heat-conducting element 121, thereby improving the oil melting speed.

[0042] Specifically, the area of ​​the heat-conducting element 121 projected onto the plane containing the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110 can be equal to 4 / 5, 5 / 6, 6 / 7, 7 / 8, or other integer or non-integer areas greater than 3 / 4 of the area of ​​the inner bottom wall.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the barrel assembly 100 further includes: a liquid pipeline 130, at least a portion of which is located inside the barrel body 110, and at least a portion of which is located inside the barrel body 110 is located inside the heat-conducting element 121.

[0044] Therefore, by utilizing the heat-conducting component 121, the solid-liquid mixture of residual oil or solid grease within the liquid pipeline 130 located inside the heat-conducting component 121 can be heated and melted, and the liquid pipeline 130 can be insulated, reducing the risk of blockage and improving the smoothness of liquid supply. Simultaneously, this design allows the heat-conducting component 121 to partially shield and protect the liquid pipeline 130, improving the aesthetics of the interior of the container body 110. Furthermore, it reduces the likelihood of the liquid pipeline 130 being easily scratched or damaged by other components when exposed inside the container body 110, thus extending the service life of the liquid pipeline 130.

[0045] Specifically, a portion of the liquid pipe 130 located inside the barrel body 110 may be located inside the heat-conducting component 121, or all of the liquid pipe 130 located inside the barrel body 110 may be located inside the heat-conducting component 121.

[0046] Furthermore, the liquid pipeline 130 may include a first end and a second end. The first end may be located inside the tank body 110, and the second end may be located outside the tank body 110. The first end may be located outside or inside the heat-conducting component 121.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the barrel assembly 100 further includes a filter device 170. The filter device 170 is provided with a plurality of filter holes for filtering impurities in the oil. The filter device 170 is disposed on the periphery of the end of the liquid pipeline 130 located inside the barrel body. For example, if the filter device 170 is located on the periphery of the first end of the liquid pipeline 130, it can filter the liquid flowing into the liquid pipeline 130 through the first end, reducing the possibility of impurities flowing into the first end and causing blockage of the liquid pipeline 130. At the same time, it helps to improve the cleanliness of the liquid flowing through the liquid pipeline 130.

[0048] Specifically, the filter device 170 can be detachably installed at the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121, such as by at least one of the following methods: bolt structure, snap-fit ​​structure, tenon structure, and magnetic structure. Alternatively, the filter device 170 can also be installed on the bottom surface inside the barrel body 110. When the heat-conducting component 121 is placed inside the barrel body 110, the first end of the liquid pipeline 130 can be inserted into the filter device 170.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the heat-conducting component 121 includes a first heat-conducting part 1211 and a second heat-conducting part 1212. The first heat-conducting part 1211 is arranged opposite to the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110, and the second heat-conducting part 1212 is located on top of the first heat-conducting part 1211 and is arranged opposite to the inner side wall of the barrel body 110.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first heat-conducting part 1211 can be understood as being laid flat on the bottom wall of the barrel body 110, and the second heat-conducting part 1212 can be opposite to the side wall of the barrel body 110. By setting the first heat-conducting part 1211 and the second heat-conducting part 1212, the heat-conducting area of ​​the heat-conducting component 121 can be increased, thereby increasing the contact area between the oil in the barrel body 110 and the heat-conducting component 121, and thus increasing the oil melting speed.

[0051] The first heat-conducting part 1211 and the second heat-conducting part 1212 can be detachably connected, for example, by at least one of the following methods: bolt structure, snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon structure, and magnetic structure. Alternatively, the first heat-conducting part 1211 and the second heat-conducting part 1212 can be fixedly connected, for example, by welding or bonding. It is understood that in other examples, the first heat-conducting part 1211 and the second heat-conducting part 1212 can be an integral structure, such as a one-piece molded structure.

[0052] In some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the top end of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is disposed near the top of the barrel body 110.

[0053] In this embodiment, since the bottom end of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is connected to the first heat-conducting part 1211 near the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110, and the top end of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is located near the top of the barrel body 110, the second heat-conducting part 1212 is arranged along the direction from the top to the bottom of the barrel body 110, that is, the second heat-conducting part 1212 can be understood as being arranged in a vertical direction. This arrangement can increase the overall height of the heat-conducting component 121, reduce or avoid the phenomenon that the height of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is too low to directly contact the solid-liquid mixture or grease of oil higher than the second heat-conducting part 1212, and enable the second heat-conducting part 1212 to heat the oil at different heights inside the barrel body 110, further improving the oil melting speed and improving the thoroughness of oil melting.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the top end of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is flush with the top end of the barrel body 110, or the top end of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is slightly lower than the top end of the barrel body 110. This makes the height of the second heat-conducting part 1212 relatively high and does not interfere with the top end of the barrel body 110, so as to ensure that the second heat-conducting part 1212 can directly contact the oil with a higher liquid level in the barrel body 110, thereby realizing the function of directly heating the oil at different heights, and further improving the melting speed and the thoroughness of melting.

[0055] Understandably, when the top of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is flush with the top of the barrel body 110, if the oil level in the barrel body 110 reaches the top of the barrel body 110, i.e., when the barrel body 110 is full of oil, because the top of the second heat-conducting part 1212 is flush with the top of the barrel body 110, the oil with a higher level can still directly contact the second heat-conducting part 1212. This reduces or avoids the phenomenon of slow or incomplete oil melting due to the oil being too high to directly contact the second heat-conducting part 1212, greatly improving the oil melting efficiency and completeness. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the liquid pipeline 130 is at least partially inserted through the second heat-conducting part 1212 and / or the first heat-conducting part 1211.

[0056] In other words, some liquid pipes 130 can be installed in the first heat-conducting part 1211, or some liquid pipes 130 can be installed in the second heat-conducting part 1212, or some liquid pipes 130 can be installed in both the first heat-conducting part 1211 and the second heat-conducting part 1212. Thus, the structure and length of the liquid pipes 130 inside the heat-conducting component 121 can be reasonably set according to actual needs, so that the area of ​​the heat-conducting component 121 heating and insulating the liquid pipes 130 is different.

[0057] It is understandable that when a portion of the liquid pipe 130 is simultaneously installed in the first heat-conducting part 1211 and the second heat-conducting part 1212, the length of the liquid pipe 130 inside the heat-conducting component 121 is relatively long, resulting in a larger area for the heat-conducting component 121 to heat and insulate the liquid pipe 130. This greatly reduces the risk of blockage in the liquid pipe 130 and helps to ensure the smooth supply of liquid to the liquid pipe 130.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121 is provided with a support portion 1213 that contacts the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110, so that a receiving space 1214 is formed between the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121 and the inner bottom wall, and the receiving space 1214 accommodates at least a portion of the heating component 120.

[0059] In this embodiment, the support portion 1213 is positioned such that the accommodating space 1214 is located at the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121. Since the accommodating space 1214 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the heating component 120, and at least a portion of the heating component 120 is located at the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121, the heat-conducting component 121 effectively shields the heating component 120. Users cannot directly see the heating component 120 when observing the interior of the barrel body 110, which improves the aesthetics of the interior of the barrel body 110 and enhances the user's visual experience. Simultaneously, this arrangement places the heating component 120 close to the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110, allowing it to be immersed in oil even when the oil level inside the barrel body 110 is low. This provides good protection for the heating component 120, preventing or reducing the risk of dry-burning damage and extending its service life.

[0060] Specifically, the number of support parts 1213 can be one or more. For example... Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple support parts 1213, and multiple support parts 1213 can improve the stability of the heat-conducting component 121 supported on the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 110.

[0061] Specifically, the heating component 120 can be detachably connected to the heat-conducting component 121 to facilitate disassembly and separation of the heating component 120 and the heat-conducting component 121 for maintenance and replacement. Specifically, the heating component 120 can be installed on the heat-conducting component 121 through at least one of the following: snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon and mortise structure, and adhesive.

[0062] Specifically, the heating component 120 can be embedded at the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121, that is, the heat-conducting component 121 wraps the heating component 120 from the top and sides to increase the contact area between the heat-conducting component 121 and the heating component 120, and increase the heat conduction area of ​​the heat-conducting component 121 to improve the efficiency of melting the oil in the barrel body 110 into liquid.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the barrel assembly 100 further includes: a temperature detection device 140 mounted on the heat-conducting component 121, configured to detect the temperature of the heat-conducting component 121; and a control device 150 disposed outside the barrel body 110 and electrically connected to the temperature detection device 140 and the heating assembly 120, configured to control the working state of the heating assembly 120 based on the detection information from the temperature detection device 140. This allows the heating assembly 120 to accurately melt the solid-liquid mixture and solid grease within the barrel body 110 into a liquid state, facilitating feeding using a liquid pump.

[0064] Specifically, the control device 150 is configured to control the working state of the heating component 120 according to the detection information of the temperature detection device 140, specifically including: when the detection information of the temperature detection device 140 is less than a first preset temperature, controlling the heating component 120 to start working; when the detection information of the temperature detection device 140 reaches a second preset temperature, controlling the heating component 120 to stop working, wherein the first preset temperature is less than the second preset temperature.

[0065] Specifically, when the temperature detection information of the temperature detection device 140 is lower than the first preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the heat-conducting element 121 is low. At this time, the oil in the barrel body 110 may contain a solid-liquid mixture or solid grease. The control device 150 controls the heating component 120 to work, storing the heat after heating by the heating component 120 through the heat-conducting element 121, and melting the solid-liquid mixture or solid grease in the oil in the barrel body 110 back into liquid, and heating the liquid, or directly heating the oil in the barrel body 110. When the temperature detection information of the temperature detection device 140 reaches the second preset temperature, it indicates that there is no solid-liquid mixture or solid grease in the oil in the barrel body 110, that is, the oil in the barrel body 110 is all liquid, and there is no problem of inconvenience for liquid pump feeding. At this time, the heating component 120 is controlled to stop working.

[0066] The first preset temperature can be less than 40°C, and the second preset temperature can be 65°C to 75°C, such as 70°C.

[0067] The first preset temperature can be greater than or equal to 40℃ and less than 50℃, and the second preset temperature can be 52℃ to 55℃, such as 53℃.

[0068] Specifically, when the detection information of the temperature detection device 140 reaches the second preset temperature, it indicates that the oil in the barrel body 110 is in liquid form and there will be no problem of inconvenience in feeding the liquid pump. At the same time, the setting of the heat conduction component 121 can keep the oil in the barrel body 110 at a constant temperature for a certain period of time.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the heating component 120 is located at the bottom of the first heat-conducting part 1211, and the overlapping area of ​​the horizontal projections of the heating component 120 and the first heat-conducting part 1211 is the heating area. A liquid level detection part 1215 located outside the heating area is provided on the second heat-conducting part 1212 and / or the first heat-conducting part 1211. A temperature detection device 140 is installed on the second heat-conducting part 1212 for detecting the temperature of the liquid level detection part 1215. The tank assembly 100 also includes a prompting device 160 electrically connected to the control device 150. The control device 150 is configured to control the prompting device 160 to send a position signal according to the detection information of the temperature detection device 140. The position signal indicates that the current liquid level has not reached the liquid level detection part 1215.

[0070] The bottom of the first heat-conducting part 1211 can be understood as the bottom of the entire heat-conducting component 121. By placing the heating component 120 at the bottom of the first heat-conducting part 1211, it can be ensured that the heating component 120 is located at the bottom of the entire heat-conducting component 121. This allows the heating component 120 to be at least partially located within the receiving space 1214 formed between the bottom of the heat-conducting part and the inner bottom surface of the barrel body 110, ensuring that part of the heating component 120 can be immersed in oil and reducing the possibility of the heating component 120 burning dry. Specifically, the heating component 120 can be embedded in the bottom of the heat-conducting component 121, so that at least part of the heating component 120 is located inside the heat-conducting component 121.

[0071] In this embodiment, the overlapping area of ​​the horizontal projections of the heating assembly 120 and the first heat-conducting part 1211 is set as the heating area. The second heat-conducting part 1212 and / or the first heat-conducting part 1211 are provided with a liquid level detection part 1215 located outside the heating area. Since the temperature of the liquid level detection part 1215 is different in two states after the oil in the barrel body 110 is heated to a constant temperature state, whether the oil is immersed in the liquid level detection part 1215 or the oil level is lower than the liquid level detection part 1215, the temperature of the liquid level detection part 1215 is detected by the temperature detection device 140. When the temperature information detected by the temperature detection device 140 changes, it indicates that the oil level in the barrel body 110 has changed from being immersed in the liquid level detection part 1215 to being lower than the liquid level detection part 1215. Therefore, the detection of the liquid level in the barrel body 110 relative to the liquid level detection part 1215 is realized, and the detection of the oil level in the barrel body 110 is realized.

[0072] The control device 150 controls the prompting device 160 to send a position signal based on the detection information from the temperature detection device 140. The position signal indicates that the current liquid level has not reached the liquid level detection unit 1215, so as to remind the user that the oil in the tank body 110 has reached the preset liquid level. If the low liquid level is reached, the user is prompted to replenish the material in time.

[0073] The prompting device 160 includes at least one of an audio prompting device 160, an LED prompting device 160, and a text prompting device 160, such as a buzzer, an indicator light, or a display screen.

[0074] The liquid level detection unit 1215 may be exposed on the outer surface of the heat-conducting component 121. The temperature detection device 140 is used to detect the temperature of the liquid level detection unit 1215. By having at least a portion of the temperature detection device 140 in contact with the liquid level detection unit 1215, the sensitivity and accuracy of the temperature detection of the liquid level detection unit 1215 by the temperature detection device 140 can be ensured, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of liquid level detection.

[0075] Specifically, the temperature detection device 140 can be a temperature sensor, such as a probe. Specifically, the probe is positioned in contact with the liquid level detection unit 1215.

[0076] When the oil level in the container body 110 is high, the oil level detection unit 1215 is immersed in the oil, meaning the oil level is higher than the level detection unit 1215. After the heating component 120 starts working, the heat from the heating component 120 is transferred to the oil through the heat conductor 121, maintaining the oil at a constant temperature. Then, the heating component 120 stops working. Since the level detection unit 1215 is located outside the heating area and is immersed in the constant-temperature oil, the temperature of the level detection unit 1215 is approximately the same as or has a small temperature difference with the constant-temperature oil. When the constant-temperature oil level is low, such as when the oil level is lower than the level detection unit 1215, the temperature of the level detection unit 1215 will change. At this time, the temperature information detected by the temperature detection device 140 shows a difference, indicating that the oil level in the container body 110 has changed, meaning the current oil level has not reached the level detection unit 1215, thus achieving level detection. At the same time, the control device 150 controls the prompting device 160 to send a level signal based on the changes in the detection information of the temperature detection device 140, so as to remind the user that the oil level in the tank body 110 is lower than the liquid level detection unit 1215, so that the user can replenish the material in time according to the indication signal.

[0077] The temperature detection device 140 is installed on the second heat-conducting part 1212, which provides the installation structure and installation position for the temperature detection device 140, simplifies the installation structure of the temperature detection device 140, and can meet the design requirements of the barrel assembly 100 to be compact and small in size.

[0078] The liquid level detection unit 1215 can be disposed on the first heat-conducting part 1211, or on the second heat-conducting part 1212. The position of the liquid level detection unit 1215 can be reasonably set according to the preset liquid level height. The preset liquid level height can be lower than the liquid level detection unit 1215, that is, the preset liquid level height can be located below the liquid level detection unit 1215. When the liquid level in the tank body 110 reaches the preset height, the prompting device 160 sends a level signal.

[0079] The liquid level detection part 1215 may protrude from the outer surface of the heat-conducting component 121. For example, the liquid level detection part 1215 may be a boss structure. Alternatively, the liquid level detection part 1215 may be a part of the outer surface of the heat-conducting component 121. For example, the heat-conducting component 121 may be a plate-like structure, and the liquid level detection part 1215 may be a part of the side plane of the plate-like structure.

[0080] In this embodiment, the temperature detection device 140, heating component 120, and indicator device 160 work together to detect the liquid level inside the container body 110. The structure is simple, requiring no complex mechanical actions. Compared to related technologies where a float is used for liquid level detection, this avoids the problem of foreign objects getting stuck, increasing the float's friction and preventing it from moving, thus causing the liquid level detection function to fail. Furthermore, due to the heating component 120, the solid-liquid mixture of oil or solid grease can be heated and melted into liquid oil for liquid level detection. This avoids the problem in related technologies where the oil solidifies into grease, increasing the float's friction and preventing it from moving, thus causing the liquid level detection function to fail. Therefore, the liquid level detection solution provided in this embodiment is applicable to different environmental requirements and can detect the liquid level of different states of oil, such as solid-liquid mixtures, grease, and liquid oil, improving the diversity of application scenarios and ensuring the accuracy and stability of liquid level detection, making it suitable for widespread application.
