The float can adjust its position according to the water level. Utilizing the principle of magnetic coupling, the signal converter displays the change in resistance on the display instrument for easy observation of the water level. Simultaneously, when the water level inside the boiler is too low or too high, the float touches the lower or upper sensor, and the signal converter sends a feedback signal to the controller. The controller can then control the electromagnetic control valve to open or close, facilitating automatic water replenishment or cessation of water replenishment into the boiler. The device is easy to operate and improves its automation level.

[0015] 2. This automatic water replenishment device for gas-fired boiler water level control uses a combination of a first sealing groove, a fixing hole, a sealing cover, a handwheel, a rotating shaft, a movable groove, a compression spring, a fixing pin, and a pull rope. The fixing pin is movably inserted into the fixing hole. Rotating the handwheel drives the rotating shaft to rotate, facilitating the pulling of the pull rope to adjust the fixing pin. This allows the fixing pin to be separated from the fixing hole, enabling quick disassembly of the water level monitoring sensor mechanism for easy maintenance and repair, or cleaning of surface scale, thus improving its usability. The combination of a sealing groove, a second sealing groove, a sealing plug hole, a sealing ring, a sealing plate, and a sealing plug enhances the sealing performance between the sealing cover and the boiler body, preventing internal steam leakage and ensuring optimal operation.
