A lower end of the water level member 44 is fixed to the buoy ball 43, and an upper end of the water level member 44 is exposed from the buoy tube 42.

(86) When liquid is stored in the storage space 102, the buoy ball 43 will float on the liquid surface and support the upper end of the buoy tube 42 to be exposed from the buoy tube 42. The user can know the current liquid level of the storage space 102 by observing the exposed height of the upper end of the buoy tube 42, so as to show the user the amount of liquid in the storage space 102.

(87) Exemplarily, the buoy holder 41 is in a ring shape, the buoy holder 41 is clamped and fixed to the separator plate 10. The buoy holder 41 can be clamped and fixed to one or more single boards 30 corresponding to the suction column 20.

(88) An area of the bottom of the buoy holder 41 is greater than an area of the opening 22 of the suction column 20, so that the buoy holder 41 may block the opening 22 of the suction column 20, preventing the planting medium from entering the cavity 21 of the corresponding suction column 20 to interfere with the operation of the buoy ball 43.

(89) Exemplarily, the buoy tube 42 is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The lower end of the buoy tube 42 is inserted and fixed to the buoy holder 41.

(92) The limit hole 451 has a limiting effect on the water level member 44, which can reduce the risk of the water level member 44 tipping over and ensure that the water level member 44 can float up and down normally.

(93) Exemplarily, the buoy ball 43 is made of environmentally friendly materials through a blow molding process, that is, the buoy ball 43 is a blow-molded hollow part, has better buoyancy, is more environmentally friendly, is not easy to corrode, and the material is recyclable.

(94) A diameter of the buoy ball 43 is larger than an inner circle diameter of the buoy holder 41, so that the buoy ball 43 cannot pass through the inner circle of the buoy holder 41, thereby restricting the buoy ball 43 in the cavity 21 of the suction column 20 to prevent the buoy ball 43 from detaching from the suction column 20 due to excessive water level.

(95) A top portion of the buoy ball 43 is provided with a mounting block 431. The mounting block 431 is used to secured the water level member 44.

The hollow setting of the water level member 44 can reduce the weight of the water level member 44, so that the water level member 44 and the buoy ball 43 have better buoyancy. In addition, the water level member 44 and the buoy ball 43 are fixed by plugging, which reduces the production cost and assembly complexity.

(97) The upper end of the water level member 44 is provided with a dust plug 441, which is sleeved on the upper end of the water level member 44. The dust plug 441 can prevent debris from entering the water level member 44 from the upper end of the water level member 44 and affecting the buoy of the water level member 44.
