Beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:The present invention is using bright in terms of gas (vapour) body and liquid (such as water) heat transfer property Significant difference is different, the temperature difference very little between that section in two sensing elements in a liquid, i.e. electricity between two sensing elements Difference very little is hindered, the temperature difference of this section among gas (vapour) body is big, i.e., resistance difference is also big.As liquid level increases, two Total resistance difference between sensing element becomes smaller, i.e., liquid level is higher, and total resistance difference is smaller between two sensing elements.It borrows Help the rule, exports the relational expression between liquid level H and thermal resistance value difference DELTA R, thus just liquid level continuously can be measured by Δ R Just.The configuration of the present invention is simple, reliable performance, high sensitivity, strong antijamming capability.
Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 is the structural schematic diagram of self-heating difference thermal resistance liquid level sensor.
Specific embodiment
The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Liquid level sensor provided by the present invention makees sensing element using two armoured thermal resistances with quality such as structures, In hot water radiation wire itself electrified regulation in a sensing element, use it to induction level, be called measuring cell.Another Zhi Butong Electric heating uses it to measurement environment temperature, compensates the influence of environment temperature, be called compensating element,.The thermoelectricity of two sensing elements Resistance subtracts each other to form resistance difference using resistance value after difference connection or independent output.Specific resistance value measurement method is the public affairs of this field Know technology, details are not described herein again.The liquid level sensor is using obvious in terms of gas (vapour) body and liquid (such as water) heat transfer property Difference, the temperature difference very little between that section in two sensing elements in a liquid, i.e. resistance between two sensing elements The temperature difference of difference very little, this section among gas (vapour) body is big, i.e., resistance difference is also big.As liquid level increases, two quick Total resistance difference between sensing unit becomes smaller, i.e., liquid level is higher, and total resistance difference is smaller between two sensing elements.By In the rule, pass through relational expression H=A+B the Δ R or H=A+B between test export liquid level H and thermal resistance value difference DELTA R Δ R+C Δ R2, constant A, B and C are usually determined by experiment in formula, the liquid level that can be obtained according to experiment using which kind of relational expression It is determined with the linear relationship of resistance difference.Thus the height of liquid level just can be continuously measured by Δ R.
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of self-heating difference thermal resistance liquid level sensor provided by the invention, by two with matter such as structures The armoured thermal resistance 1,2 of amount is constituted as sensing element, is equipped between the armor sleeve 5 and hot water radiation wire 3 of armoured thermal resistance exhausted Edge material 4, by the mutually insulation connection of heat insulated supporter 6 between two armoured thermal resistances 1,2, and it is separated by a distance, guarantee that It will not interact between this, two hot water radiation wires are connect with resistance value measuring circuit.It will be as the two of sensing element same structures Etc. the same section of the armoured thermal resistance of quality be placed in tested liquid level position, wherein the hot water radiation wire itself in a sensing element Electrified regulation makes it higher than the certain temperature of periphery gas (vapour) body medium, typically about 10~30 DEG C, uses it to induction level; Another Zhi Butong electric heating uses it to measurement environment temperature.After the connection of thermal resistance difference or independent output of two sensing elements Resistance value subtracts each other to obtain resistance difference, and obtains the relationship of liquid level and resistance difference by experiment, to continuously measure liquid level Just.
