Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel tank technology, specifically to a fuel tank fuel level detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Large vehicles are the foundation of logistics and transportation, fuel is the lifeblood of vehicles, and fuel tanks are containers used to store fuel.

The cleaning assembly includes a displacement block disposed inside the fuel storage tube, a scraping ring on the outside of the displacement block, and an extension rod connected to the top of the displacement block. The top end of the extension rod penetrates the fuel storage tube and is fixedly connected to a top plate of the protective shell. A drive motor is installed on the top of the top plate, and a lead screw is connected to the output end of the drive motor. When the fuel level in the tank reaches the bottom, the scraping ring can scrape the inner wall of the fuel storage tube as the displacement block moves down, preventing fuel from adhering for a long time and causing the transparent window to become blurred, thus facilitating the observation of the internal fuel level.
