[0027] The inner wall of the storage tank 1 is provided with a mounting rod 8, which provides mounting support for the guide column 9 and ensures the stable position of the guide column 9 in the storage tank 1. The side surface of the mounting rod 8 is provided with the guide column 9, which provides a guiding effect for the up-and-down movement of the floating ball 10, so that the floating ball 10 can stably move in the vertical direction along with the change of the liquid level. The surface of the guide column 9 is sleeved with the floating ball 10, which moves on the guide column 9 along with the rise or fall of the liquid level in the storage tank 1. As a sensing component of the liquid level change, the floating ball 10 triggers a series of subsequent liquid level adjusting actions through its position change. The surface of the guide column 9 is provided with a limiting rod 2, which corresponds in shape and position to the floating ball 10. The limiting rod 2 limits the movement of the floating ball 10 on the guide column 9, prevents the floating ball 10 from rotating during the up-and-down movement, and makes the floating ball 10 keep moving in the vertical direction. The surface of the floating ball 10 is provided with a first moving rod 11. When the floating ball 10 rises along with the liquid level, it moves upward through the first waist-shaped hole 15 and the first U-shaped rod 16, and transmits the vertical displacement of the floating ball 10 to the driving rod 12. The end of the first moving rod 11 is provided with the driving rod 12. The two ends of the driving rod 12 are both provided with rotating shafts 14, and the driving rod 12 is rotatably connected with the first moving rod 11 and the second moving rod 13 through the rotating shafts 14, respectively. The vertical movement of the first moving rod 11 is converted into the horizontal movement of the second moving rod 13 through the driving rod 12, which plays a role in force transmission and direction conversion.

[0028] The end of the driving rod 12 is provided with a second moving rod 13 which is matched with the T-shaped pipe 301 in shape and position. The second moving rod 13 moves gradually close to the liquid inlet under the action of the driving rod 12 through the second waist-shaped hole 17 and the second U-shaped rod 18, shields the liquid inlet of the T-shaped pipe 301 according to the change of the liquid level, adjusts the liquid inlet area of the liquid inlet, changes the liquid flow path, realizes the control of the liquid inlet amount of the storage tank 1, and there is a small offset distance between the second moving rod 13 and the top of the inner wall of the storage tank 1. In order to ensure that the driving rod 12 has a moving space when rotating, so as to realize the force transmission between the links, and the second moving rod 13 is connected with the driving rod 12, so that when the second moving rod 13 moves, the second moving rod 13 may be slightly rotated and offset, and the reserved space meets the rotating space at this time, which ensures that the whole link driving structure will not be stuck, and has enough moving space to realize the driving.

The surface of the second moving rod 13 is provided with a second waist-shaped hole 17, the inner wall of the storage tank 1 is provided with a second U-shaped rod 18, the second waist-shaped hole 17 cooperates with the second U-shaped rod 18, so that the second moving rod 13 can slide in the horizontal direction, ensuring the stability of the second moving rod 13 during movement. The first U-shaped rod 16 is connected with the first moving rod 11 through the first waist-shaped hole 15, the second U-shaped rod 18 is connected with the second moving rod 13 through the second waist-shaped hole 17, the first U-shaped rod 16 and the second U-shaped rod 18 provide guidance and support for movement, and ensure the accuracy of the movement track.

[0029] In the operation of the liquid level balancing device, first, open the liquid inlet pipe 4, and the alcohol from the external alcohol source flows into the T-shaped pipe 301 of the liquid inlet assembly 3 through the liquid inlet pipe 4. The alcohol is divided into the flow pipe 302 and the storage tank 1 through the T-shaped pipe 301. As the alcohol continues to be injected, the liquid level in the storage tank 1 rises, and the floating ball 10 moves upward along the guide column 9, driving the first moving rod 11 connected thereto to move upward through the first waist-shaped hole 15 and the first U-shaped rod 16, and then driving the driving rod 12 to rotate around the rotating shaft 14, so that the second moving rod 13 moves through the second waist-shaped hole 17 and the second U-shaped rod 18 to the liquid inlet of the T-shaped pipe 301. When the liquid level reaches a certain height, the second moving rod 13 blocks the liquid inlet, reducing the liquid inlet area and controlling the amount of alcohol entering the storage tank 1, achieving self-adaptive division of alcohol among multiple storage tanks 1. If the capacity needs to be expanded, remove the cover plate 6 away from the liquid inlet pipe 4, connect the new connecting pipe 5 and the liquid inlet assembly 3 to the end of the flow pipe 302 through the flange 303, and then seal the port of the newly connected assembly with the cover plate 6. In this way, new storage tanks 1 can be quickly added to build a larger array of storage tanks 1. During the entire process, the valve 7 can control the flow and interruption of alcohol in the T-shaped pipe 301 at any time, facilitating equipment maintenance, debugging, and other operations. Specific embodiment two:

[0031] Reference Figures 5-6 A liquid level balancing device based on the basic content in specific embodiment one further discloses the following content. In order to ensure the stability of the floating ball 10, the guide column 9 can be designed as a hollow guide column 9 with a spring on the inner wall. The spring has a movable rod inside, and the end of the movable rod is connected to a pressing plate. The side of the pressing plate is connected to the spring. The movable rod penetrates the guide column 9 at one end and is provided with a fixed block. The outer wall of the guide column 9 is also provided with a placing groove. When the water flows in the guide column 9, it will generate an impact force on the pressing plate, causing the pressing plate to press the spring and the movable rod, and then causing the movable rod to drive the fixed block to be clamped into the fixed groove pre-formed on the inner wall of the floating ball 10. In this way, the floating ball 10 is fixed, effectively avoiding downward movement under the action of water flow impact force, ensuring that the floating ball 10 only rises or falls due to changes in the liquid level, and the end of the fixed block is rounded. When the liquid buoyancy is greater than the water flow impact force, the floating ball 10 moves upward, and the floating ball 10 will press the fixed block, causing the spring and the movable rod to return to their original state, assisting the floating ball 10 to smoothly complete the upward movement. Through the above special design, the stability of the movement of the floating ball 10 is ensured, so that it is only affected by the liquid level, thereby ensuring the stability of the device.

[0032] In summary:

[0033] 1. When the liquid level in the storage tank 1 rises, the float ball 10 moves along the guide column 9, and then the first moving rod 11 moves upward through the first waist-shaped hole 15 and the first U-shaped rod 16, the driving rod 12 rotates around the rotating shaft 14, and then the second moving rod 13 moves through the second waist-shaped hole 17 and the second U-shaped rod 18, so that the second moving rod 13 gradually approaches the liquid inlet, and when the liquid level reaches a certain height, the second moving rod 13 can shield the liquid inlet of the T-shaped pipe 301 according to the change of the liquid level, so that the liquid inlet area is reduced, the liquid flow path is changed, and then the liquid capacity entering the storage tank 1 is reduced, effectively avoiding the situation that the subsequent storage tank 1 is insufficiently filled due to excessive and rapid liquid entering the front storage tank 1, and realizing self-adaptive and equal division of alcohol among multiple storage tanks 1.

[0034] 2. When it is necessary to add a storage tank 1, the sealing plate 6 far from the liquid inlet pipe 4 can be removed, the new connecting pipe 5 and the liquid inlet assembly 3 are connected to the end of the flow pipe 302 through the flange 303, and then the new storage tank 1 is quickly connected through the sealing plate 6, and the two liquid inlet assemblies 3 are connected through the connecting pipe 5, so that the array of storage tanks 1 is constructed, the unified liquid inlet of multiple storage tanks 1 is realized, and new storage tanks 1 can be quickly added behind the last storage tank 1 according to the demand, which effectively breaks through the limitation of the traditional device in capacity expansion and greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of the liquid level balancing device in capacity adjustment.
