Conventionally, various liquid level display devices have been proposed that electrically detect the liquid level in a medium bottle and display it externally. For example, a pair of electrodes is suspended inside a medium bottle, and a voltage is applied between the electrodes via a switch that is linked to an operating member at the top of the pot.When there is a certain amount of liquid in the medium bottle or more, a light emitting element is activated continuously. light it up,
A device has been proposed in which the light emitting element blinks when the amount is less than a certain amount (Utility Model No. 56-17023).

However, in this case, since a pair of electrodes are installed vertically from the inner plug, it is necessary to route the conductor inside the inner plug and provide terminals that connect and separate from each other on the upper surface of the inner plug and the lower surface of the lid. First, the wiring structure became complicated, and the terminals provided on the top surface of the inner stopper and the top surface of the lid body were located at locations where moisture such as steam was likely to adhere, resulting in the problem of poor insulation. Furthermore, the light emitting element that is the liquid level indicator lamp has to be installed in the lid body due to wiring, but in the case of an air pot, the air pump is housed inside the lid body, so the liquid level display circuit such as the liquid level indicator lamp etc. There is no space to accommodate batteries or batteries. Therefore, it is preferable in terms of space to provide a liquid level display circuit including a lamp and a battery on the pot body side.

In the circuit with the above configuration, hot water is filled in the medium bottle 2 up to the level L4 , and each electrode 15b to 15d
Assuming that the signal terminates at the level L 1 to L 3 as shown in the figure, when the switch 22 is turned on,
The power supply 10 is connected to the display element 21a and it lights up, and the reference electrode 15a and the liquid amount detection electrodes 15b to 1
5d is electrically connected to the buffers 25 to 27 by hot water acting as a resistance of several kilohms, and since the input voltage to the buffers 25 to 27 becomes approximately 0V, the output voltage becomes a low level (0V) and the display element 21b -21d are also all lit continuously. When hot water is poured out from medium bottle 2 and the remaining amount is at an intermediate level between L 2 and L 3 ,
When the switch 22 is turned on, the display elements 21a to 21c
is lit continuously as before, but since the liquid level detection electrode 15d is not connected to the reference electrode 15a, the input voltage of the buffer 27 is the power supply voltage (V
Therefore, the output voltage becomes a high level (V volts), and the potential difference between both ends of the display element 21d becomes 0, so that the display element 21d does not light up. From this, the user can know that the hot water is at a level between L 2 and L 3 . In this way, as the amount of hot water in the medium bottle 2 decreases, the display elements 21c and 21d stop lighting up in that order, and when the remaining amount of hot water falls below the L1 level, only the display element 21a lights up continuously. and other display elements 21
b to 21d do not light up.

In the above embodiment, the sealing member 11 is composed of two parts, the mouth rubber 12 and the sealing plate 13.
Although the electrode 14 is made to pass through the sealing member, the sealing member may be composed of one component. However, as mentioned above, the seal plate 13 is composed of two parts and has a simple shape.
If the electrode 14 is penetrated through the mouth rubber 12, not only will molding become easier, but also the seal plate 13 can be added to the conventionally known mouth rubber 12.
can share conventional products. In addition, the material, hardness, etc. of the seal plate 13 can be selected separately from the mouth rubber 12 to have optimal characteristics in terms of function as a seal plate. At this time, the thickness of the entire sealing member increases slightly, but this increase can be absorbed by the tightening allowance for the medium bottle 2. In addition, the electrode 14 and the seal member 1
In addition to the structure in which the electrode 14 is inserted into the insertion hole 13a as described above, the electrode 14 may be integrally formed with the seal member, or the electrode 14 may be sandwiched between two separate seal members. You may also do so.
