As shown in fig. 2, the first container 110 and the second container 130 are automatically refilled into the second container 130 by the liquid level difference principle of the communicating vessel 122, and the principle of the communicating vessel 122 can be explained by the liquid pressure.

If the U-shaped glass tube is filled with the same liquid, a small liquid sheet AB is assumed in the center of the bottom of the communicating vessel 122, and if the liquid is stationary and does not flow, the pressure of the liquid in the left tube to the right side of the liquid sheet AB is necessarily equal to the pressure of the liquid in the right tube to the left side of the liquid sheet AB, because the communicating vessel 122 is filled with the same liquid, and the densities of the left liquid column and the right liquid column are the same.

According to the formula P ═ ρ gh of the liquid pressure, where P is the pressure, ρ is the liquid density, g is the gravity constant, and h is the liquid depth, it can be seen that the pressures of the liquid columns on both sides to the liquid sheet AB can be equal only when the heights of the liquid columns on both sides are equal, that is, the left side pressure is equal to the right side pressureAll forces are P₀Therefore, under the condition that liquid does not flow, the liquid level in each container of the communicating vessel 122 should keep equal, the utility model discloses a design in first container 110 and second container 130 accessible communicating vessel 122 be linked together, and then if no water in the second container 130, accessible first container 110 passes through atmospheric pressure automatic water supply to the second container 130 in.
