Strainer

A liquid surface height inside a tank is allowed to be confirmed while blow-back of a liquid is reduced. A strainer body having a substantially bottomed tubular shape has a substantially D shape when viewed in a longitudinal direction. A bottom surface of the strainer body has a shape in which a part of a conical shape is cut away, and a top of the substantially conical shape overlaps with a notched portion notched to form the substantially D shape. The bottom surface protrudes toward an opening of the strainer body. A rod is provided adjacent to the notched portion of the strainer body, and a float is provided on a lower end of the rod.

SELF-CLEANING SCREEN

Various implementations include a self-cleaning screen device including a screen and auger. The screen is a hollow cylinder and has a screen central axis, a screen inner surface, a screen outer surface opposite and radially spaced apart from the screen inner surface, a screen first end, and a screen second end opposite and axially spaced apart from the screen first end. The screen outer surface defines a plurality of openings extending radially to the screen inner surface. The auger is helically shaped and has an auger central axis, an auger first end, and an auger second end opposite and axially spaced apart from the auger first end. The auger is disposed around at least a portion of the screen outer surface such that the auger central axis and the screen central axis are coincident with each other.
