The following describes the implementation of the present invention. The description is not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention, but is an example of the implementation of the present invention.

According to FIGS. 1 to 3, a fuel storage device 100 of an embodiment of the present invention comprises a storage barrel 1, including a barrel body 11, a barrel cover 12 and a partition 13. The partition 13 is arranged in the storage space of the barrel body 11, and the storage space is divided into a circuit setting space 1a located at the upper layer and a fuel containing space 1b located at the lower layer. The fuel containing space 1b is used to contain liquid fuel. The barrel wall of the barrel body 11 is provided with a fuel containing space 1a connected to the fuel containing space 1b. The barrel cover 12 is connected to the upper end of the barrel body 11 to cover the circuit setting space 1a; a accommodating tube 2 extends downward from the partition 13 to the fuel accommodating space 1b, the upper end of the accommodating tube 2 is connected to the circuit setting space 1a, and the accommodating tube 2 is provided with a plurality of liquid level detection holes 21 arranged at intervals along the height direction on the tube wall, and a guide hole 22 is provided at a height close to the lower surface of the partition 13; a fuel output pipe 3, one end of which is lower than the container The guide hole 22 of the tube 2 is arranged at the height of the fuel output port 15 to form a fuel output end 31, and the other end extends downward to the bottom position of the fuel accommodating space 1b; a plurality of liquid level sensors 4 are arranged in the accommodating tube 2 in a manner corresponding to the plurality of liquid level detection holes 21, so as to sense the liquid level of the liquid fuel accommodated in the fuel accommodating space 1b; and a control device 5 is arranged in the circuit setting space 1a, and the control device 5 includes a sensing information processing unit The sensing information processing unit 51 and a cloud transmission unit 52 are coupled to the plurality of liquid level sensors 4 via a transmission line 53 extending from the control device 5 through the circuit setting space 1a and the accommodating tube 2 and connected to the plurality of liquid level sensors 4 to obtain liquid level sensing information of the liquid fuel accommodated in the fuel accommodating space 1b. The cloud transmission unit 52 is coupled to the sensing information processing unit 51 and is configured to transmit the liquid level sensing information to a cloud device 6.

In the fuel storage device 100 of one embodiment of the present invention, the fuel output pipe 3 extends from the fuel output end 31 and penetrates into the accommodating tube 2, and extends downward in the accommodating tube 2 to the bottom position of the fuel accommodating space 1b.

In the fuel storage device 100 of one embodiment of the present invention, the barrel body and the barrel cover are connected to each other through a thread 7.

In this way, liquid fuel can be stored in the fuel containing space 1b. When in use, negative pressure is provided in the fuel output pipe 3 to suck in the liquid fuel from one end of the fuel output pipe 3 extending to the bottom position of the fuel containing space 1b, and flow to the fuel output end 31 of the fuel output pipe 3 to provide liquid fuel. When the fuel is output, the liquid level drops. The drop in the liquid level will cause the liquid level sensor 4 arranged in the liquid level detection hole 21 of the containing tube 2 to face two environments, above and below the liquid level. Therefore, the position of the liquid level can be measured through the response of a series of liquid level sensors 4 to obtain liquid level sensing information. The liquid level sensing information is transmitted to the sensing information processing unit 51 through the transmission line 53, and further transmitted to the cloud device 6 through the cloud transmission unit 52 to notify the user.

When the fuel storage device 100 is provided with the control device 5, a guide hole 22 is provided in the accommodating tube 2, so that when the liquid fuel enters the accommodating tube 2, it can flow back to the fuel accommodating space 1b at the position of the guide hole 22 to prevent the liquid fuel from flowing into the circuit setting space 1a, and the barrel body 11 and the barrel cover 12 are engaged with each other through a thread 7, which is convenient for opening to maintain or repair the control device 5.

The fuel storage device 100 of one embodiment of the present invention further includes a manual towing device 8, including a handle 81 and a roller 82. The handle 81 is arranged on the barrel wall of the upper half of the storage barrel 1 and is formed by being recessed inward along the barrel wall. It is in a different direction along the barrel wall from the fuel inlet 14 and the fuel outlet 15 of the storage barrel 1. The roller 82 is arranged at the lower end of the storage barrel 1 and is on the same side as the handle 81.

In the fuel storage device 100 of one embodiment of the present invention, the roller 82 is supported by a rotating shaft 821 passing through its axis, so that the roller 82 can rotate axially around the axis, and the lengths of the roller 82 and the rotating shaft 821 are formed not to exceed the storage barrel 1.
