Description

Passive liquid-level sensor
Passive liquid-level sensor of the present invention belongs to technical field of automatic control, particularly is a kind of Level Detection that is used for, especially for the sensor of oil level detection.
Technology and the product that adopts aspect level monitoring both at home and abroad is many at present, concludes for following several:
1, ultrasonic detector.This series products mainly is suitable for the Level Detection of broad area.Instrument is installed in the top away from liquid level, transmits and receives electromagnetic wave to liquid level, and measures electromagnetic reflection wavelength, cycle, measures the distance of liquid level apart from instrument, thereby measures liquid level.This type of production producer is all arranged at present both at home and abroad.As Chinese patent " the self-adapting ultrasonic liquid level instrument " patent No. is " 932031064 "
2, differential level sensor: along with development of semiconductor, the semiconductor surface diffusion technique has obtained widespread use in the making of sensor balanced bridge.The diffuse si differential pressure pickup is a pressure principle of utilizing liquid, detects the pressure reduction of the strong and standard atmospheric pressure of liquid base pressure at the bottom of liquid.It is to force semiconductor diffuse si film to produce the piezoelectric effect of deformation by the liquid base pressure, and obtains water level signal.This type of production producer is all arranged at present both at home and abroad.As Chinese patent " differential manometer " publication number is " C N 86105681A "
3, condenser type water (thing) level sensor: be new product, the new technology that occurred in recent years, it relies on capacitance principle and makes.Electric capacity is made of two-plate and medium, changes medium and will change electric capacity.Liquid is as the medium of electric capacity, and it is many more that liquid floods sensor, and the also many more electric capacitys of medium filling are big more.By detecting the size of electric capacity, detect liquid level.Mainly contain several productions such as West Germany, Japan, Canada, the present domestic manufacturer production that also has.
4, induction type digital water level sensor: be a new invention patented technology, it designs according to bionics and imitative neuromechanism the Chinese patent publication number for " C N 1152708A ", but it is a kind of sensor of water level signal direct sample, form by several electro-induction formula neuron circuits, every induction neuron circuit all is to be made of one group of anti-phase relatively D-flip flop and an induction electrode, each neuron circuit all is the form output digital signal with switching pulse, pass through the D-A change-over circuit again, switches digital is transformed into simulating signal output.It is that a kind of working stability is reliable, and more satisfactory level sensor has obtained widespread use at present.But he must be full of level sensor, can be used as the conductive liquid level sensor at most, for nonconducting liquid, or is afraid of that charged liquid then can not use.
" programmable water level measuring and controlling instrument " is a new invention patented technology, the Chinese patent publication number by " C N 1156245A " it be according to modern network theoretical design to the water level signal of each sensor of the control district measurement and control instrument of going the rounds detection, it is the secondary instrument of induction type digital water level sensor, with the supporting use of sensor.
Though more than several sensor technology comparative maturities owing to be subjected to the restriction of service condition, environment aspect, make their usable range be subjected to very big limitation.Particularly in inflammable and explosive liquid, such as the Level Detection of gasoline, kerosene, their use has been subjected to very big limitation.In petrochemical industry and POL depot management, original oil scale, manual measurements are still used in the most places of oil level monitoring at present.
Along with rapid development of science and technology, oil level monitoring just large-scale oil depot and petrochemical industry use in the control automatically, that the oil level detection that spreads all over cities and towns and highway aspects such as refuelling station along the line all suddenly needs is new, can satisfy the general oil level detection control control device that high-performance again can be widely applicable.
Order of the present invention must be:
1, passive detection, safe and reliable, solved the liquid level continuous detecting problem of flammable and combustible liquids.Oil level detection problem as aspects such as oil depot, refuelling stations.
2, enlarge the scope of application, solve installation, use, problem easy to maintenance.
3, reduce cost, provide a kind of simple in structure, adaptable Level Detection liquid level sensor.
Passive liquid-level sensor of the present invention is according to imitative biology. and the theoretical thinking of neural network designs.If a people stands in the water, know that also water logging is less than that position of own health even close eyes.This is that each cell is equivalent to a sensor because human body is a mass of neurocyte, and numerous neurocyte have been formed neural network, neuralward maincenter (brain) mail message.The present invention finishes the transmission of liquid level information by the magnetosensitive neural line that the neural point of several magnetosensitive senses constitutes.Each magnetosensitive induction point is to constitute the magnetic switch circuit by a cover magneto sensor, constitutes the oil level information network by several magnetic switch circuit and weighted resistance network.
Passive liquid-level sensor of the present invention, it is the bar type sensor that the induction type neuron circuit is formed.It is characterized in that it being a kind of, what liquid level signal can be by suspension magnetic induction sampling, the liquid level sensor of the non-transformer power supply of forming by several magnetic inductive neuron circuits, it can the passive data sampling, and the distant signal change is sent.Its circuit chip and metal shell are cast into one, and shell and whole the branch with liquid contacting part all adopt conductive material stainless steel or aluminum to make, and be antistatic, antirust, anticorrosion.This sensor is made up of two parts on the whole, a part is the signal data acquisition part, another part is that part is sent in the signal data change, its chip skeleton of signal data acquisition part is made with dielectric panel, the front of chip is fixed with some blocks of magnetic induction neuron circuit plates, every magnetic induction neuron circuit all is to be made of one group of magnetic induction switch circuit, each magnetic induction unit circuit all is the form output signal with switch, be fixed in the induction neuron circuit on the sensor chip skeleton front, it is spaced apart 0.5 centimetre.It is stainless solid barred body that the chip of whole signal data acquisition part becomes a shell with the insulating material casting.Its cross section is generally 20 millimeters * 38 millimeters, and length generally can be designed to 0.5-20 rice as the case may be.The suspension magnetic that is attached to liquid level changes with liquid level change responds to corresponding magnetosensitive neuron circuit.
