[0018] The technical solutions in the application embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the application embodiments. In addition, "in an embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing at various places in the specification does not necessarily mean the same embodiment. In addition, these specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0019] It is also need to make clear that, in this article, the relationship terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity from another entity, and do not necessarily require or imply that there is any such actual relationship or order between these entities. Moreover, the term "include", "contain" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the article or terminal device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such article or terminal device. Without more limitation, the element defined by the statement "including a" does not exclude the presence of another same element in the article or terminal device including the element.

[0020] In the boiler or other water equipment, the oxygen in the water will affect the progress of the reaction or produce oxide precipitate after reacting with the reactant and adhere to the inner wall of the equipment, which seriously affects the heat dissipation of the reaction equipment or the normal progress of the reaction, so it is often necessary to remove the oxygen in the water for reaction through the deaerator. According to the deaerator set according to Henry's law, the solubility of gas in solution is proportional to the equilibrium pressure of the solute on the liquid surface under isothermal and isobaric conditions. By heating, the gas in the water is constantly precipitated to achieve the purpose of deoxidation. Because the internal environment of the deaerator is relatively high, if the equipment is in a lower environment, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the liquid level tube is large, and the thermal expansion and cold contraction are obvious, which may cause the liquid level tube to burst. The float ball and the guide rod of the general float ball type liquid level detector are easy to oxidize and crystallize, which will affect the measurement accuracy, and long-term crystallization will corrode the guide rod, and further affect the service life of the detector. Therefore, the utility model provides a kind of deaerator liquid level measuring device.

[0021] The utility model will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.
