AI Technical Summary
Existing water level measurement systems indicate the liquid level in the opposite direction in water tanks or storage containers, which is illogical, and traditional float systems are not intuitive to operate when the volume changes.
The liquid level indicator system uses a float and a counterweight connecting rope, and utilizes rollers and drum assemblies to make the liquid level indicator move up or down as the liquid level rises or falls, thus achieving logical indication.
It enables the liquid level indicator to move in the same direction as the liquid level changes, providing intuitive and logical liquid level indication, and is suitable for large water tanks and concrete storage containers.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention falls within the field of engineering and generally relates to a method and system for providing measurement and indication of the level of a liquid or fluid in a container, which may be a water tank or a storage vessel. The system can be used to measure water, fuel, chemicals, and liquid food. Background Technology
[0002] This invention is novel because it represents an unprecedented solution, whereas earlier inventions for measuring water levels in reservoirs and tanks operated in the opposite direction, thus lowering the level as the volume increases and raising it as the volume decreases.
[0003] In one such example, the water level indicator registered in application number IN202041018472 indicates the water level by moving an external indicator in the opposite direction to the water level. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model relates to an instrument or device, which is a method and system for measuring and indicating the liquid level (which may be water, fuel, chemicals or liquid food) in a high-level, large-capacity container (which may be a water tank or a storage container).
[0005] While traditional measurement systems use floats to provide reverse measurement, the liquid level indicator in this invention indicates the liquid level in a more logical and appropriate manner by indicating the liquid level and following the liquid level. It moves upward when the liquid volume in the tank increases and downward when the volume decreases or drops.
[0006] This is an unprecedented innovative solution because earlier utility models used to measure water levels in reservoirs and tanks operated in opposite directions, lowering when the volume increased and raising when the volume decreased.
[0007] The new type of liquid level indicator is a device / instrument used to indicate the current and instantaneous liquid level in water tanks (especially large elevated water tanks) and concrete storage containers. It indicates the liquid level in a more logical way, moving upwards as the liquid level rises and downwards as the liquid level falls.
[0008] The system is characterized by a liquid container / vessel, which may be equipped with a float ( Figure 1 A water tank or reservoir, with a float on top of the liquid (e.g., water), the float being connected to a counterweight, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the counterweight is suspended outside the water tank by a connecting rope (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
[0009] The connecting rope runs on the pulley and roller / roller assembly, with the pulley placed on top of the container near the opening, and connected to an adjacent roller / roller placed in the corner of the water tank.
[0010] The roller / roller has another rope, one end of which is suspended from and fixed to the main body of the roller / roller, while the other end of which is suspended from the liquid level indicator (LIP).
[0011] When the liquid level rises, it pushes the float upward, causing the connecting rope to loosen. The connecting rope will then move immediately as its other end is pulled downward by the counterweight. As the connecting rope moves, it rotates around the roller / drum, causing the suspension rope to wrap around its body. When the suspension rope is wrapped around the roller / drum body, the suspension rope pulls up the LIP, which will cause the liquid level and the LIP to move upward together.
[0012] As the liquid level drops, the heavier float moves downwards, pulling on the connecting rope. This causes the roller to rotate in the opposite direction, loosening the suspension rope and lowering the LIP. The overall result is that the LIP always moves up or down with the liquid level, thus indicating the water level in the tank or any other position. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a system overview diagram of the reservoir and level indicator;
[0014] Figure 2 It consists of a liquid level indicator and roller / roller assembly. Detailed Implementation
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A vertical elevation view of a water container or tank is provided, showing water, a connecting rope with a float at one end and a counterweight at the other end, a support pulley, a support roller / roller, a suspension rope, and a level indicator at the end of the suspension rope.
[0016] Figure 2 A liquid level indicator (LIP) is shown, which is attached at one end to a suspension rope and fixed to a roller / drum. The suspension rope can roll around the roller / drum in a counterclockwise or clockwise direction, depending on whether the liquid level is rising or falling.
[0017] A grooved portion is present on one part of the roller / drum, whenever... Figure 1 As the float moves up or down, the connecting rope moves around the groove as the counterweight moves up or down.
[0018] The roller / drum has a recessed portion, and one end of the suspension rope is fixed to the recessed portion of the roller / drum.
[0019] The buoy was made of bronze.
[0020] The connecting ropes and suspension ropes are covered with plastic.

[0023] It is anticipated that specific features described individually or as part of an implementation may be combined with other individually described features or parts of other implementations. Therefore, the lack of a description of such combinations should not preclude the inventor from claiming such combinations.
[0024] The scope of this invention is also intended to be defined by the claims and their equivalents appearing in the following portion.
Claims
1. A water level indicator plate, characterized in that, It includes a float, a connecting rope, a counterweight, a roller / drum, a suspension rope, and a liquid level indicator. The roller / drum is located on the top of the container, with one end extending outside the container. The connecting rope runs on the roller / drum. The float is connected to the connecting rope at one end, and the connecting rope has a counterweight at its other end. One end of the suspension rope is fixed to the roller / drum, and the other end is attached to the liquid level indicator.
2. The water level indicator plate according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes a pulley located directly above the float.
3. The water level indicator plate according to claim 2, characterized in that, The float, pulley, roller / roller, and counterweight are operatively connected to move as the liquid level in the container rises or falls.
4. The water level indicator plate according to claim 1, characterized in that, The roller / drum has a grooved portion, and the connecting rope can move around the grooved portion.
5. The water level indicator plate according to claim 1, characterized in that, The roller / drum has a recessed portion, and one end of the suspension rope is fixed to the recessed portion of the roller / drum.
6. The water level indicator plate according to claim 1, characterized in that, The rollers / rollers, suspension ropes, and liquid level indicator are operatively connected to move as the liquid level in the container rises or falls.
7. The water level indicator plate according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that, When the liquid level rises, it pushes the float upward, causing the connecting rope to loosen. The connecting rope will move immediately because its other end is pulled downward by the counterweight. As the connecting rope moves, it rotates around the roller / drum, causing the suspension rope to wrap around the roller / drum body. When the suspension rope is wrapped around the roller / drum body, the suspension rope pulls up the liquid level indicator, which will cause the liquid level and the liquid level indicator to move upward together. As the liquid level drops, the float, which is heavier than the counterweight, moves downward, pulling the connecting rope along with it. In the process, the connecting rope causes the roller / drum to rotate in the opposite direction, loosening the suspension rope and lowering the liquid level indicator. The overall result is that the liquid level indicator always moves up or down with the liquid level, thus indicating the position of the water or anything else in the container.
