Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the modifying device to a measurement mechanism, specifically is that some are the auxiliary electrode of thing (liquid) position measuring sensor of measurement parameter with electric capacity or admittance.Especially the flexible auxiliary electrode of flexible measuring sensor.
Background technology
In thing (liquid) position measuring sensor that industrial circle is used always, it is to measure the utmost point with an electric conductor that gos deep in the feed bin (jar) as the master that a kind of measuring method commonly used is arranged, and is called for short main pole; Contain storehouse (jar) wall of electric conductor as another utmost point with conduction or inside, the thing of differing heights (liquid) material can influence the size of electric capacity, resistance or the admittance of the two poles of the earth formation between the two poles of the earth, by measuring the variable quantity of this electric capacity, resistance or admittance, just can detect the height of (jar) interior thing (liquid) position of delivering from godown, the measurement scheme that is provided as Chinese patent 00215270.3.But, under situation about having, because the horizontal span of feed bin (jar) is too big, make the distance of two interpolars long, the signal that causes electric capacity, resistance or the admittance of exporting too a little less than, be subjected to extraneous interference easily, influenced degree of stability and the accuracy measured, under the more approaching situation of the dielectric coefficient of tested material and hole capital after selling all securities (jar), this consequence is more serious.
Chinese patent 01243602.X and patent 02110211.2 disclose two kinds of level sensors that adapt to material of different nature, have the segmented electrode structure respectively, rely on electric capacity (or admittance) parameter that detects respectively between each segmented electrode and storehouse (jar) wall, improve the precision of level gauging.Because every segment electrode is shorter, electric capacity (or admittance) signal between itself and the bulkhead is littler, is more vulnerable to the influence of environmental fluctuating, and is therefore higher to the required distance between central electrode and storehouse (jar) wall, and distance will cause the level sensor cisco unity malfunction than greatly the time.
Purer at tested material, mobile better as finished fluid, under the less as situation of common fuel tank of tested batch can, U.S. Pat 005103368A has provided a kind of solution of the sectional capacitance sensor with the rigidity auxiliary electrode, can improve the precision of level gauging.But this scheme is relatively poor inapplicable as crude oil, powder etc. and the industrial various height of level gauging, big material bin (jar) of needing for flowability, does not have using value.On the one hand, mobile relatively poor material may be blocked between the two poles of the earth, and on the other hand, the outside continuous electrode of rigidity may be difficult to installation and transportation, and lose its using value because of too heavy.
Summary of the invention
Technical matters to be solved by this invention is in order to overcome above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, providing a kind of adorns with the capacitance object position sensor companion, install, convenient transportation, can strengthen the auxiliary electrode of the capacitance object position sensor of above-mentioned capacitance type sensor measuring-signal.
The technical scheme that the present invention solves the problems of the technologies described above employing is:
