Abstract
A floating body is stored in a tank with a coolant and has a lower density than the coolant. A swing member is swingably supported and includes a contact portion which is displaced by being brought into contact with the tank and a to-be-detected portion which moves in an interlocking manner with the displacement of the contact portion. A sensor detects the floating body or the to-be-detected portion present at a detection position. The tank includes a restriction portion which restricts a movable range of the floating body to a range in which the detection position is a lower limit. By the attachment of the tank to the attachment portion, the to-be-detected portion is displaced from the detection position to an evacuation position in the interlocking manner with the displacement of the contact portion.
