Using liquefied gas as fuel, because of its high calorific value, no smoke and no carbon residue, it is easy to operate and use, and has been widely used in people's life. Bottled supply is to distribute liquefied gas from a sealed steel cylinder to each household through a storage and distribution station as a gas source for household stoves. In the use process, liquefied gas is continuously consumed, and the user needs to estimate the remaining amount by shaking the steel cylinder or lifting the weight to confirm the remaining amount of liquefied gas, which cannot accurately grasp the remaining gas amount and is easy to cause cooking interruption or inconvenience of temporary gas replacement.
