The cable 23 is fixedly connected between the stainless steel probe 24 and the level gauge body 21. An electrical interface 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the stainless steel probe 24. The protective component 1 is recessed to form a protective cavity 18 to accommodate the level gauge body 21. The bottom of the level gauge body 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the protective cavity 18.

[0025] A connector 3 is installed on the cable 23. The top of the connector 3 protrudes outward and is fixedly connected to a clip 33. The bottom of the protective part 1 is recessed to form a slot 16 and a socket 17. The socket 17 communicates with the slot 16, and both the slot 16 and the socket 17 are matched with the clip 33.

[0026] With the above technical solution, when using the device, if it is necessary to adjust the exposed length of the cable 23, pull the connector 3 to move the cable 23 until the clip 33 on the connector 3 engages with the insertion hole 17 at the bottom of the protective component 1. Then rotate the connector 3 to engage the clip 33 on the connector 3 with the slot 16, thus completing the connection between the connector 3 and the protective component 1, thereby shortening the exposed length of the cable 23. After adjusting the exposed length of the cable 23, place the cable 23 and the stainless steel probe 24 in the liquid to be measured. The liquid level is detected by the operation of the stainless steel probe 24 and the cable 23.

[0028] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to store the cable 23, pull the connecting plate 31 so that the connecting plate 31 drives the connecting tube 34 to move along the cable 23. After the connecting plate 31 moves to the required position, rotate the screw 36 on the connecting tube 34 so that the screw 36 abuts against the cable 23 in the connecting hole 35, so that the connecting plate 31 is fixed in the required position. Then, engage the clip 33 on the connecting plate 31 with the slot 16 at the bottom of the protective component 1.

[0029] When winding up cable 23, in order to facilitate the arrangement of cable 23, such as Figures 6-7 As shown, the circumferential surface of the connecting plate 31 is recessed to form a notch 32.

[0030] In this embodiment, after the connecting plate 31 and the base 14 are fixedly connected, the cable 23 is made easy to organize by the notch 32.

[0031] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the aforementioned protective element 1, as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the protective component 1 includes a base 14, a slot 16 and an insertion hole 17 formed on the bottom of the base 14.

[0032] To protect the level gauge body 21, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a connecting ring 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 14, and a detachable protective shell 11 is screwed onto the top of the connecting ring 13.
