[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.

[0018] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a tilting liquid level device, including a liquid level rod 1, a mounting shell 2 below the liquid level rod 1, a limiting sleeve 3 on the mounting shell 2, a limiting rod 4 inside the limiting sleeve 3, a float 5 inside the mounting shell 2 at the lower end of the limiting rod 4, a scale assembly 6 at the upper end of the limiting rod 4, and an alarm unit on the side of the liquid level rod 1. In oil extraction, mud tankers are an important component. After the device of this utility model is installed at the corresponding position on the top of the mud tank, the float 5 will... As the mud is poured into the mud tank, the float 5 moves upward under the action of buoyancy. The upward movement of the float 5 causes the limit rod 4 to move upward. The movement of the limit rod 4 will drive the movement of the scale assembly 6. The height of the mud tank is judged by the height of the scale assembly 6. During the up and down movement of the limit rod 4, the limit sleeve 3 and the scale assembly 6 work together to limit the movement, ensuring that the movement of the limit rod 4 is in the vertical direction. When the mud tank level exceeds the limit, the alarm unit will be activated to remind the workers.

[0019] The alarm unit includes a sound alarm 9 and a light alarm 10, which are located on the side of the level gauge 1. A first touch switch 11 and a second touch switch 12 are also located on the side of the level gauge 1. The first touch switch 11 is matched with the sound alarm 9, and the second touch switch 12 is matched with the light alarm 10. When the sound alarm 9 is activated, it emits a buzzing sound; when the light alarm 10 is activated, it emits a flashing red light. When the scale assembly 6 moves upward, it indicates that the liquid level in the mud tank is rising. When the scale assembly 6 rises to the first touch switch 11, the sound alarm 9 will emit a buzzing sound as a reminder. When the scale assembly 6 rises to the second touch switch 12, the light alarm 10 will emit a flashing red light as a reminder. It should be noted that since the equipment is used outdoors and there is a lot of noise from nearby equipment during oil drilling, the noise can easily mask the buzzing sound of the sound alarm 9. However, the flashing red light of the light alarm 10 can help workers detect abnormal liquid levels in the mud tank in a timely manner.

[0020] The liquid level rod 1 is equipped with scale lines. The scale assembly 6 includes a sliding sleeve 601, which slides and limits the liquid level rod 1. Extension plates 602 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the sliding sleeve 601, and an installation sleeve 603 is provided between the two extension plates 602. The upper end of the limiting rod 4 is inserted into the installation sleeve 603. A first fixing screw 604 is provided on the side end of the installation sleeve 603. The scale lines on the liquid level rod 1 can indirectly determine the liquid level in the mud tank through the position of the sliding sleeve 601. During the lifting and lowering of the limiting rod 4, the upper end of the limiting rod 4 is limited by the sliding sleeve 601 and the liquid level rod 1, and the lower end of the limiting rod 4 is limited by the limiting sleeve 3, so that the limiting rod 4 remains vertical during the lifting and lowering process, which improves the convenience of equipment use.

[0021] Two liquid level rods 1 are provided. The upper end of the two liquid level rods 1 is provided with a limiting sleeve 101. The inner side of the limiting sleeve 101 is provided with a U-shaped groove 102, and the outer side of the limiting sleeve 101 is provided with a second fixing screw 103. The U-shaped groove 102 on the limiting sleeve 101 makes it easier to install the limiting sleeve 101 on the liquid level rod 1. The lower end of the liquid level rod 1 is welded to the upper end of the mounting shell 2, so that the liquid level rod 1 remains stable during use and improves the stability of the equipment.

[0022] In the process of using this utility model, after the equipment is fixed at the corresponding position on the top of the mud tank, the float 5 will enter the mud tank. As the mud is injected into the mud tank, the float 5 moves upward under the action of buoyancy. The upward movement of the float 5 will cause the limiting rod 4 to move upward. The movement of the limiting rod 4 will drive the movement of the scale assembly 6. The sliding sleeve 601 in the scale assembly 6 will move on the liquid level rod 1. The liquid level rod 1 is provided with scale lines. Therefore, the height of the liquid level in the mud tank can be determined by the position of the sliding sleeve 601 at the scale line.

[0023] When the scale assembly 6 moves upward, it indicates that the liquid level in the mud tank is rising. When the scale assembly 6 rises to the first touch switch 11, the sound alarm 9 will emit a buzzing sound to remind the user. Since the equipment is located outdoors and there is a lot of noise from nearby equipment during oil drilling, the noise can easily mask the buzzing sound of the sound alarm 9. When the scale assembly 6 rises to the second touch switch 12, the light alarm 10 will emit a flashing red light to remind the user, enabling workers to promptly detect abnormal liquid levels in the mud tank.

[0024] Example 2 Based on the above embodiment one of the tilting liquid level device, although it can provide dual alerts of sound and light during use, ensuring that workers can promptly detect abnormal liquid levels in the mud tank, during oil drilling and extraction, mud tank trucks usually need to be moved. When the device is installed on top of the mud tank, it occupies too much space in the vertical direction, making it easy to obstruct the movement of the mud tank truck. Moreover, disassembling it requires excessive manpower and time costs. Therefore, the following technical solution is proposed: The lower end of the mounting shell 2 is equipped with a tilting component 7. When the mud tanker needs to be moved, the tilting component 7 helps to change the overall state of the equipment from vertical to horizontal, reducing its space occupation in the vertical direction, making the movement of the mud tanker more convenient, and reducing the cost of manual disassembly.

[0025] A rectangular hole 8 is provided on the lower side of the mounting shell 2. An L-shaped plate is installed inside the rectangular hole 8. The liquid level rod 1 is suspended from the lower end of the alarm unit. The L-shaped plate is suspended on the suspension frame. When the equipment changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the float 5 needs to be inserted into the mounting shell 2. Then, the L-shaped plate is removed and inserted into the rectangular hole 8, thereby fixing the float 5 in position inside the mounting shell 2, reducing its shaking during the movement of the mud tanker, and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0026] The lower end of the mounting shell 2 is provided with a mounting bracket 13. The flipping assembly 7 includes a first fixing plate 701 and a second fixing plate 702. The first fixing plate 701 is located at the lower part of the side end of the mounting shell 2, and the second fixing plate 702 is located at the side end of the mounting bracket 13. Both the first fixing plate 701 and the second fixing plate 702 are provided with mounting holes, and bolts and nuts 703 are provided in the mounting holes. Fixing holes 1301 are also provided at the four corners of the mounting bracket 13. When the equipment needs to be changed from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the bolts and nuts 703 are loosened and the hooks on the mounting shell 2 are removed, so that the mounting shell 2 and the liquid level rod 1 rotate to a horizontal state. It should be noted that before this step, the scale assembly 6 needs to be moved upward to allow the float 5 to enter the mounting shell 2 to ensure that the mounting shell 2 and the liquid level rod 1 can be changed to a horizontal state smoothly.

[0027] In the process of using this utility model, when the mud truck needs to be moved, the worker lifts the scale assembly 6 upwards. The upward movement of the scale assembly 6, with the assistance of the limiting rod 4, allows the float 5 to enter the mounting shell 2. Then, the L-shaped plate is removed and inserted into the rectangular hole 8, thereby fixing the float 5 in position within the mounting shell 2.

[0028] After the float 5 is fixed in position, loosen the bolt and nut 703 and remove the hook on the mounting shell 2 so that the mounting shell 2 and the liquid level rod 1 rotate to a horizontal state, thereby ensuring that the liquid level rod 1 remains stable during the movement of the mud tanker and does not occupy too much space in the vertical direction.

[0029] The main functions achieved by this utility model are as follows: by setting up components such as an L-shaped plate, a flipping component 7, a rectangular hole 8, and a scale component 6, when the equipment is installed on a mud tanker, it can achieve dual alarms of sound and light with the assistance of a sound alarm 9 and a light alarm 10, ensuring that workers can promptly detect abnormal liquid levels in the mud tanker. Furthermore, during the movement of the mud tanker, the L-shaped plate, flipping component 7, rectangular hole 8, and scale component 6 can transform the entire equipment from a vertical state to a horizontal state, reducing the equipment's occupation of vertical space. Moreover, the cooperation of the L-shaped plate and the rectangular hole 8 ensures that the float 5 will not shake excessively when the mud tanker moves, improving the stability of the equipment.
