The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an exemplary embodiment of a liquid storage device according to the present invention is shown. The liquid storage device comprises a shell 101, a storage container 102 fixed in the inner space of the shell 101, a liquid level detection sub-device 103, an angle detection sub-device 104 and a control circuit 105.

A hanger 106 fixedly connected to the housing 101 is disposed on an outer side of the housing 101, in this embodiment, the hanger 106 is generally U-shaped, and two ends of the hanger 106 are respectively fixedly connected to an outer wall of the housing 101. When the liquid storage device needs to be suspended from the movable support, the housing 101 is appropriately adjusted, and the hanger 106 is fixed to the movable support. It should be understood that the hanger 106 may also be formed in other suitable configurations, and the connection manner to the housing may be selected according to the usage scenario of the liquid storage device.

The storage container 102 is hollow inside to form a storage space for containing liquid.

The liquid level detection sub-device 103 is a liquid level sensor, and is fixed in the storage space through a mounting frame 107, and is electrically connected with the control circuit 105. When the liquid level in the storage space exceeds a set upper liquid level, the liquid level detection sub-device 103 transmits the information of the liquid at that time to the control circuit 105. When the liquid in the storage space is lower than the set lower liquid level, the liquid level detection sub-device 103 also transmits the information of the liquid at this time to the control circuit 105. Thus, the control circuit 105 is able to receive level information of the liquid contained in the storage space.

In an alternative embodiment, the liquid level detection sub-device 103 includes a liquid level sensor that is disposed within the storage space and detects liquid level information of the liquid contained in the storage space, and an information transmission circuit. The information sending circuit receives the liquid level information detected by the liquid level sensor and sends the liquid level information to the control circuit 105 in a wireless transmission mode, such as Bluetooth transmission, ZigBee transmission and the like. Of course, the control circuit 105 includes a corresponding information receiving sub-circuit. It should be understood that the liquid level detection sub-assembly 103 may also adopt other suitable structures, which are not listed here.

The angle detecting sub-device 104 is an angle sensor, and is fixed on the control circuit 105 and electrically connected to the control circuit 105. When the inclination angle of the liquid storage device is larger than the set inclination angle, the angle detection sub-device 104 transmits the information of the inclination angle to the control circuit 105. Thus, the control circuit 105 can receive the tilt angle information of the liquid storage device.

In an alternative embodiment, the angle detection sub-device 104 includes an angle sensor that is fixed to the storage container 102 and detects tilt angle information of the liquid storage device, and an information transmission circuit. The information sending circuit receives the inclination angle information detected by the angle sensor and sends the inclination angle information to the control circuit 105 in a wireless transmission mode, such as bluetooth transmission, ZigBee transmission and the like. Of course, the control circuit 105 includes a corresponding information receiving sub-circuit. It should be understood that the angle detection sub-assembly 104 may also have other suitable configurations, which are not listed here.

The control circuit 105 receives the liquid level information detected by the liquid level detection sub-device 103 and the tilt angle information of the angle detection sub-device 104, and determines whether to allow external liquid to enter the storage space according to the liquid level information and the tilt angle information. Specifically, when the liquid in the storage space exceeds a set upper liquid level or the inclination angle of the liquid storage device is greater than a set inclination angle, the control circuit 105 prohibits external liquid from entering the storage space. When the liquid in the storage space is lower than the set lower liquid level and the inclination angle of the liquid storage device is smaller than the set inclination angle, the control circuit 105 allows the external liquid to enter the storage space.

The set upper level, the designed lower level, and the set inclination angle can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the storage space of the storage container 102, the position and size of the ventilation holes of the storage container 102, and the actual usage of the liquid storage device. For example, when the liquid storage device is actually used and has 90 ° swing, the set inclination angle may be selected to be 1 °, and when the liquid storage device is slightly inclined, the control circuit 105 prohibits external liquid from entering the storage space, so that the liquid stored in the storage container 102 is not excessive, and thus liquid leakage can be avoided. Preferably, the ventilation hole is opened at the center of the top of the storage container 102.

In order to facilitate understanding of whether the liquid storage device is installed horizontally, a level 108 is disposed outside a top plate of the housing 101, and information on the inclination angle of the liquid storage device can be obtained by observing the level 108. If the installation is inclined, the liquid storage device needs to be adjusted.

In this embodiment, the liquid storage device further comprises a liquid inlet channel 109. The inlet channel 109 is in communication with the storage space and is provided with a solenoid valve 110 electrically connected to the control circuit 105. When the liquid in the storage space exceeds the set upper liquid level or the inclination angle of the liquid storage device is larger than the set inclination angle, the control circuit 105 controls the electromagnetic valve 110 to close the liquid inlet channel 109, so as to prohibit external liquid from entering the storage space. When the liquid in the storage space is lower than the set liquid level and the inclination angle of the liquid storage device is smaller than the set inclination angle, the control circuit 105 controls the electromagnetic valve 110 to open the liquid inlet channel 109, so as to allow the external liquid to enter the storage space.

In one embodiment, in a state where the solenoid valve 110 opens the inlet channel 109, external liquid can enter the storage space through the inlet channel 109 by the action of its own weight, or other external force. In another embodiment, the liquid storage device further comprises a delivery pump 111, and the delivery pump 111 is electrically connected to the control circuit 105. When the liquid in the storage space exceeds the set upper liquid level or the inclination angle of the liquid storage device is greater than the set inclination angle, the control circuit 105 controls the electromagnetic valve 110 to close the liquid inlet channel 109 and controls the delivery pump 111 to stop working, thereby prohibiting external liquid from entering the storage space. Liquid is less than the liquid level under the setting just in the storage space when liquid storage device's inclination is less than the set inclination, control circuit 105 control solenoid valve 110 opens inlet channel 109 to and control delivery pump 111 work, delivery pump 111 makes outside liquid get into storage space through inlet channel 109.

In this embodiment, the liquid storage device further includes a float valve 112, a float 113 of the float valve 112 is disposed in the storage space, and a valve body of the float valve 112 is disposed at the liquid outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 109. When the liquid in the storage space exceeds the set upper liquid level, the ball float valve 112 closes the liquid outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 109. When the liquid in the storage space is lower than the set upper liquid level, the ball float valve 112 opens the liquid outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 109. Thereby avoiding the storage space from containing too much liquid after the liquid level detection sub-device 103 is out of work.

In this embodiment, the liquid storage device further includes a plurality of liquid drainage channels 114, the liquid drainage channels 114 are communicated with the storage space, and the portion of the liquid drainage channels 114 located in the storage space and close to the liquid inlet thereof is a hose. So that the external device can also draw the liquid it contains from the storage space when the liquid storage device is tilted. Preferably, a filter 115 is provided at the inlet.

The housing 101 may further be provided with a liquid level observation window 116, a safety hanging ring 117, an indicator light 118, or other structures, which are not listed here.

The liquid storage device of the present embodiment determines whether to allow external liquid to enter the storage space according to the liquid level information of the liquid contained in the storage space and the tilt angle information of the liquid storage device, so as to ensure that the liquid contained in the storage space is not excessive, and thus, even if the liquid storage device tilts or swings within a certain angle range, liquid leakage can be avoided.

Referring now to fig. 5-7, an exemplary embodiment of a liquid delivery system according to the present invention is shown. The liquid conveying system comprises a plurality of liquid storage devices 201, a transfer storage device 202 and a main storage device 203. The fluid storage device 201 is identical to the fluid storage device shown in fig. 1 to 4 and will not be described in detail.

As shown in fig. 6, the transfer storage apparatus 202 includes a housing 204, and a first container and a liquid level detection sub-apparatus fixed in the inner space of the housing 204.

A hanging bracket 205 fixedly connected to the housing 204 is disposed outside the housing 204, in this embodiment, the hanging bracket 205 is generally U-shaped, and two ends of the hanging bracket 205 are respectively fixedly connected to an outer wall of the housing 204. When the transfer storage device 202 needs to be suspended from the movable support 206, the housing 204 is adjusted appropriately, and the hanger 205 is fixed to the movable support 206. It should be understood that other suitable configurations for the hanger 205 may be used.

The first container is communicated with the storage container of each liquid storage device 201 through a liquid pipeline 207, and when the liquid conveying system works, the first container is preferably arranged above each storage container, for example, all the first container is higher than 1.5 meters, and if the liquid inlet channel of a certain liquid storage device 201 is in an open state, the liquid in the first container is conveyed to the corresponding storage container through the liquid pipeline 207 under the action of gravity and the conveying pump force of the corresponding liquid storage device 201.

The liquid level detection sub-device comprises a liquid level sensor and an information sending circuit, wherein the liquid level sensor is arranged in the first container and is used for detecting the liquid level information of the liquid contained in the first container. The information sending circuit receives the liquid level information detected by the liquid level sensor, and sends the liquid level information to the controller 208 of the main storage device 203 in a wireless transmission mode, such as bluetooth transmission, ZigBee transmission, and the like. Of course, the controller 208 includes a corresponding information receiving sub-circuit. It should be understood that the liquid level detection sub-assembly may also take other suitable configurations.

As shown in fig. 7, the main storage device 203 includes a mobile base 209, and a traveling wheel 210 is disposed at the bottom of the mobile base 209; and a second container 211, a delivery pump, and a controller 208 fixed to the mobile base 209. If the liquid contained in the first container is lower than the set lower liquid level, the controller 208 operates the delivery pump, and the delivery pump causes the liquid in the second container 211 to be delivered into the first container through the liquid pipeline 207; and stopping the liquid conveying to the first container if the liquid contained in the first container exceeds the set upper liquid level.

Fig. 8 shows an application of the liquid delivery system, in which each of the liquid storage devices 201 and the transfer storage device 202 is suspended from a movable support 206, and the transfer storage device 202 is located above each of the liquid storage devices 201. The consumables in the storage container of the liquid storage device 201 are transported to each terminal device 212, such as a stage device, for example, a smoke machine, a bubble machine, etc., through the liquid drainage channel and the liquid pipeline 207.

The liquid delivery system of the embodiment can provide consumables for a plurality of terminal devices 212 at the same time, so that each terminal device 212 does not need to be provided with a liquid storage device separately, thereby reducing the cost of the overall device and improving the use flexibility.
