Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4, the invention discloses a kind of water level detection circuit, comprise water level judging unit 1, first probe 31, second probe 32, first lead 21, second lead 22, described first lead, 21 1 ends link to each other with described first probe 31, its other end links to each other with described water level judging unit 1, and described second lead, 22 1 ends link to each other with described second probe 32, its other end links to each other with described water level judging unit 1; Described water level judging unit 1 is to first probe, 31 output signals, and when described first probe 31 and described second probe 32 all were dipped in the water, described second probe 32 was given described water level judging unit 1 with signal feedback.First probe 31 and second probe 32 are placed container 4, in the container 4 water can be housed, by water level judging unit 1 output signal C, and signal C imported first probe 31, if first probe 31 and second probe 32 are all under water, then can signal be imported water level judging unit 1, just water level judging unit 1 can detect signal C by second probe 32, because water has resistance characteristic, can transmit signal; If first probe 31 and second probe 32 are all not under water, second probe 32 can't be imported signal water level judging unit 1, just water level judging unit 1 can not detect signal C yet, because the resistance infinity of air can't be transmitted signal.
As shown in Figure 2, the invention also discloses second kind of embodiment, described water level judging unit 1 is a single-chip microcomputer 11, described single-chip microcomputer 11 is provided with first input/output port 51 and second input/output port 52, described first lead 21 links to each other with described first input/output port 51, and described second lead 22 links to each other with described second input/output port 52; This water level detection circuit also comprises first capacitor C 1, second capacitor C 2, pull-up resistor 6, described first capacitor C 1 is connected between described first probe 31 and described first input/output port 51, described second capacitor C 2 is connected between described second probe 32 and described second input/output port 52, and described pull-up resistor 6 one ends are connected between described second capacitor C 2 and described second input/output port 52, described pull-up resistor 6 other end ground connection.As shown in Figure 5, can produce signal H by single-chip microcomputer 11, signal H is by 51 outputs of first input/output port, after straight, just can obtain signal C by first capacitor C 1, when between first probe 31 and second probe 32 water being arranged, by the impedance of water, signal C is transferred to second probe 32, is transferred to second input/output port 52 by second capacitor C 2 again.Acting as of second capacitor C 2 is anti-interference, prevents entering of extraneous direct current signal, and AC signal C can will be far longer than the resistance of water smoothly by the resistance of pull-up resistor 6 simultaneously.The signal that second input/output port 52 obtains should be the same with signal C, but because the input/output port of common single-chip microcomputer Finite Amplitude diode all, so the actual signal that obtains should be signal I, contrast by signal H and signal I, we are not difficult to find that when signal H was high level, signal I also was a high level, when signal H was low level, signal I also was a low level.We can judge between first probe 31 and second probe 32 thus water, if anhydrous between first probe 31 and second probe 32, signal C can't pass through air transfer, and it is low level that second input/output port 52 obtains signal always.The signal I of second embodiment is signal I shown in Figure 6.
As shown in Figure 3, the invention also discloses the third embodiment, this water level detection circuit also comprises amplifying circuit 7, and described amplifying circuit 7 is connected between described second input/output port 52 and the described pull-up resistor 6.Described amplifying circuit 7 is operational amplifier or triode.The resistance of the pull-up resistor 6 among first embodiment and second embodiment will be far longer than the resistance of water, generally the resistance of our potable water or pure water all between several kilohms to several ten thousand ohm, just just can meet the demands so pull-up resistor 6 is got hundreds of thousands ohm.But the water of high-purities such as picture distilled water, because its degree of purity is very high, its water resistance can reach between 1,000,000 to 2 megohms, at this moment pull-up resistor 6 just needs tens megohms to the hundreds of megohm, under present science and technology, resistance also can't reach so big resistance, and the input resistance of single-chip microcomputer 11 is generally at hundreds of thousands ohm, be far smaller than pull-up resistor 6, can influence test result.So it is not under the very big situation that first embodiment and second embodiment only are suitable for the resistance of water.So for the very big situation of water resistance, if pull-up resistor 6 still adopts the resistance of hundreds of thousands ohm, the signal I that it obtains as shown in Figure 7, compare the less signal I of water resistance, its amplitude is very faint, at this moment we just need to increase an amplifying circuit 7, export to second input/output port 52 again for its detection after signal is amplified.
The invention also discloses a kind of condensate tank of dehumidifier, this condensate tank of dehumidifier is equipped with water level detection circuit.As automatic water boiler electrical equipment, sanitary bath equipment all can be installed water level detection circuit of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 8, the invention also discloses a kind of level testing methods, in step K 1, the water level judging unit is to the first probe output signal.In step K 2, whether the water level judging unit detects second probe and feeds back signal is arranged, and as second probe feedback signal is arranged, and the water level judgment unit judges goes out first probe and second probe all is dipped in the water so.
As shown in Figure 9, be another embodiment of level testing methods of the present invention, in step S1, the signal of single-chip microcomputer output transfers to first probe through first electric capacity after straight processing.In step S2, the signal of feedback amplifies back input second input/output port through amplifying circuit.In step S3, when the signal level of signal level and the feedback of output is identical, single-chip microcomputer is judged between first probe and second probe so water, and when the signal of feedback was low level always, single-chip microcomputer was judged between first probe and second probe anhydrous so.
Above content be in conjunction with concrete preferred implementation to further describing that the present invention did, can not assert that concrete enforcement of the present invention is confined to these explanations.For the general technical staff of the technical field of the invention, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, can also make some simple deduction or replace, all should be considered as belonging to protection scope of the present invention.
