Background technology
Sensor (English name: transducer/sensor), as a kind of detecting device, refers to the measured piece of impression regulation and converts device or the device of available signal according to certain mathematical function rule to, being generally made up of sensing element and conversion element。Sensor can be divided into pressure quick and force-sensing sensor, position sensor, liquid level sensor, energy consumption sensor, velocity sensor, acceleration transducer, ray radiation sensors, heat sensitive sensor according to purposes。Wherein liquid level sensor is based on the principle that surveyed fluid pressure is proportional to the height of this liquid, adopt sensing element, static pressure is converted to the information output of the signal of telecommunication or other desired forms, to meet the requirements such as the transmission of information, process, storage, display, record and control。
Liquid level sensor can be divided into two classes, and a class is contact, another kind of for contactless。Contact liquid level sensor be represented as electrode sensor, and contactless liquid level sensor be represented as electric field sensor。Electrode sensor is the resistance detection water level directly utilizing water, because it is with low cost and it is simply and always commonly used by institute of solar water heater manufacturer to make, but due to the part that its operation principle and acquisition method are all original, the most backward in sensing technology, there is the defect that cannot overcome: induction electrode is easily formed incrustation scale owing to contacting with water for a long time, make electrode surface form insulating tape and cause collection distorted signals。Electric field sensor utilizes the principle of electric field induction, when making induction electrode without contacting with liquid, can accurately measure water level, efficiently solve the deficiency of the easy sediment incrustation of the electrode existing for electrode sensor, and the induction electrode of electric field sensor owing to can not contact (after contacting with water with water, induction electrode can lose normal control function because of short circuit), therefore the water resistance of its cladding material is had higher requirement, but the service life being coated with material at present on the market is generally relatively low, cannot ensure that it remains to isolation moisture under the immersion of high-temperature water and contacts with induction electrode。
