[0027] A first assembly plate 110, a second assembly plate 120, and a fixing rod 200 connected between the first assembly plate 110 and the second assembly plate 120. The fixing rod 200 includes a first rod body 210 and a second rod body 220 that are connected in a butt joint. The butt joint of the first rod body 210 and the second rod body 220 forms a fixing cavity for accommodating the guardrail 510 through which it passes. The first rod body 210 and the second rod body 220 are fixedly connected by bolts. The first rod body 210 and the second rod body 220 are engaged with the guardrail 510 at the edge of the storage tank 500. The first assembly plate 110 and the second assembly plate 120 will serve as a loading platform for the storage tank monitoring sensor. The first assembly plate 110 and the second assembly plate 120 are provided with multiple sets of assembly holes.
[0028] Support rods 300, the number of which is two sets connected to both sides of the first rod body 210, and the end of the support rods 300 away from the first rod body 210 is magnetically connected to the top of the storage tank 500;
[0029] An outer support frame 400 is connected to the second rod 220. The front end of the outer support frame 400 is provided with a locking cavity 403. The outer support frame 400 is locked to the top edge of the storage tank 500 through the locking cavity 403. The locking cavity 403 of the outer support frame 400 is pressed against the outer edge of the top of the storage tank 500. The other end of the outer support frame 400 extends beyond the top of the storage tank 500 and supports the second rod 220.
[0030] In this application, the first rod 210 and the second rod 220 are assembled onto the guardrail 510 at the edge of the storage tank 500 using a fastening method similar to an existing clamp structure. The support rod 300 and the outer support frame 400 are connected to the storage tank 500 by magnetic attraction, thereby helping the support rod 300 and the outer support frame 400 to obtain support from the storage tank 500. The fixed rod 200 on both sides of the supported support rod 300 and the outer support frame 400 are supported by different methods to prevent the fixed rod 200 from shifting, thereby ensuring that the structure of the first assembly plate 110 and the second assembly plate 120 used to assemble the storage tank monitoring sensor can be more stable.
