[0005] In order to realize the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the technical scheme that:

[0006] A novel corrosion -resistant float ball type liquid level switch for sulfuric acid automobile tank car loading acid, including the float ball sleeve, the float ball sleeve is fixed on the loading acid crane pipe through the first cable tie and the second cable tie, the float ball type liquid level switch is inserted into the sleeve, the float ball is fixed through the sealing hopper of loading port, the signal line is led out through the binding post, the float ball is tightly sleeved with the float ball outer cover, the float ball sleeve and the float ball outer cover bottom are open.

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] like Figure 1 The present invention relates to a novel corrosion-resistant electrode-type liquid level switch for loading sulfuric acid into a tank truck, comprising an electrode sleeve (1) with a sealed funnel (2) on the upper wall. The sealed funnel (2) and the upper wall of the electrode sleeve (1) are provided with two cable ties, and the first cable tie (3) and the second cable tie (4) are respectively tied to the loading arm (5). The upper parts of the first cable tie (3) and the second cable tie (4) are respectively located at the lower part of the loading arm (5). The sealed funnel (2) is fixed on the loading arm (5). A float level gauge (6) is tightly fitted inside the float sleeve (1).

The probe of the submersible float level gauge is a stainless steel core with a diaphragm at the bottom, and is covered by a perforated pure PTFE shell (not shown). Liquid level measurement is actually the difference between the static pressure of the liquid on the probe and the actual atmospheric pressure. Then, a ceramic sensor (attached to a stainless steel film) and electronic components convert this pressure difference into a 4~20mA output signal to achieve the purpose of liquid level measurement.
