[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a marine level gauge with a protective mechanism, including a base plate 1. Fixing plates 2 are installed on both sides of the front and rear ends of the base plate 1. A baffle 3 is installed on the top of the base plate 1. The level gauge body 4 is installed inside the baffle 3. A transparent plate 5 is installed on the top of the baffle 3. A replacement mechanism is provided above the front and rear ends of the baffle 3. An installation mechanism is provided inside the base plate 1.

[0020] The mounting mechanism includes a connecting block 12, a fixing hole 13, a fixing block 14, and a transmission structure. The base plate 1 has an mounting hole inside, and the connecting block 12 is disposed inside the mounting hole. The connecting block 12 has a fixing hole 13 inside, and the fixing hole 13 has a fixing block 14 inside. The transmission structure includes a rotating wheel 15, a first bevel gear 16, a second bevel gear 17, a threaded rod 18, a threaded sleeve 19, and a limiting structure. The rotating wheel 15 is mounted at the front end of the base plate 1. The first bevel gear 16 is mounted inside the base plate 1. One end of the rotating wheel 15 is connected to one end of the first bevel gear 16. The second bevel gear 17 meshes with one side of the first bevel gear 16. The threaded rod 18 is mounted on one side of the second bevel gear 17, and a threaded sleeve 19 is disposed on the outer wall of the threaded rod 18. The top end of the threaded sleeve 19 is connected to the bottom end of the fixing block 14. In use, the baffle 3 is removed, the connecting block 12 is placed into the mounting hole inside the base plate 1, and then the rotating wheel 15 is rotated to drive the first bevel gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 17 to rotate, and then drives the threaded rod 18 to rotate. Therefore, under the limitation of the limiting groove 20 and the limiting block 21, the threaded rod 18 drives the threaded sleeve 19 to move, which in turn drives the fixing block 14 to move, moving the fixing block 14 into the fixing hole 13, and positioning the connecting block 12. This completes the convenient installation of the baffle 3, making the installation of the baffle 3 more convenient and faster. The baffle 3 can protect the liquid level gauge body 4, making the liquid level gauge less prone to damage during use, thereby greatly improving the practicality of the liquid level gauge during use.

[0021] The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 20 and a limiting block 21. The limiting groove 20 is located inside the lower part of the base plate 1. The limiting block 21 is provided inside the limiting groove 20. The top end of the limiting block 21 is connected to the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 19. The cross-section of the limiting groove 20 is larger than the cross-section of the limiting block 21. The limiting groove 20 and the limiting block 21 form a sliding structure. In use, the mutual cooperation between the limiting groove 20 and the limiting block 21 can limit the movement of the threaded sleeve 19, making the threaded sleeve 19 more stable when moving.

[0022] The replacement mechanism includes a mounting plate 6, positioning holes 7, fixing seats 8, cavities 9, fixing pins 10, and telescopic springs 11. The mounting plate 6 is installed on the top of the transparent plate 5, and positioning holes 7 are provided through both ends of the mounting plate 6. The fixing seats 8 are installed above the front and rear sides of the baffle 3, with one end of the mounting plate 6 extending into the interior of the fixing seats 8. Cavities 9 are installed at the front ends of the two fixing seats 8, and fixing pins 10 are provided through the interior of the cavities 9. One end of the fixing pins 10 extends into the interior of the positioning holes 7, and telescopic springs 11 are provided on the outer side walls of the fixing pins 10. The telescopic springs 11 are installed inside the cavities 9. The positioning holes 7 and fixing seats 9 are connected to the cavity 9. All 8 are concave in design. The positioning hole 7 and the fixing seat 8 cooperate with each other. When the transparent plate 5 needs to be replaced due to damage, pull the fixing pin 10 to move the fixing pin 10 out of the inside of the positioning hole 7. At this time, the mounting plate 6 can be taken out from the inside of the fixing seat 8, the transparent plate 5 can be removed, and then the new transparent plate 5 can be taken out. Place the two ends of the mounting plate 6 into the inside of the fixing seat 8 respectively, and release the fixing pin 10. At this time, the telescopic spring 11 is subjected to the elastic force to drive the fixing pin 10 to extend, so that the fixing pin 10 engages with the positioning hole 7, completing the convenient installation of the transparent plate 5. This makes it more convenient and faster to replace the transparent plate 5 when it is damaged, thereby greatly improving the convenience of the level gauge in use.

[0023] Working principle: The operator uses the positioning pin and fixing plate 2 to fix the base plate 1 in a suitable position. After it is accommodated, the level gauge body 4 is installed at the front end of the base plate 1. Then, the baffle 3 is removed, and the connecting block 12 is placed into the mounting hole inside the base plate 1. Then, the rotating wheel 15 drives the first bevel gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 18 to rotate. Therefore, under the limitation of the limiting groove 20 and the limiting block 21, the threaded rod 18 drives the threaded sleeve 19 to move, which in turn drives the fixing block 14 to move, moving the fixing block 14 to the fixed position. Inside hole 13, the position of connecting block 12 is positioned to facilitate the installation of baffle 3. When transparent plate 5 needs to be replaced due to damage from impact, pull the fixing pin 10 to move the fixing pin 10 out of the positioning hole 7. At this time, the mounting plate 6 can be removed from the inside of the fixing seat 8, the transparent plate 5 can be removed, and then the new transparent plate 5 can be removed. Place both ends of mounting plate 6 into the inside of fixing seat 8, and release the fixing pin 10. At this time, the telescopic spring 11 is subjected to elastic force to drive the fixing pin 10 to extend, so that the fixing pin 10 engages with the positioning hole 7, thus facilitating the installation of transparent plate 5.
