The specific technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
A liquid metal liquid level continuous measuring device,
The method comprises the following steps:
The conductive outer sleeve is provided with a closed end part at one end and an open end part at the other end, the closed end part is used for being inserted into the liquid metal container and isolating liquid metal in the liquid metal container from entering the conductive outer sleeve, the open end part is arranged outside the liquid metal container, and the neck part of the conductive outer sleeve is arranged on the liquid metal container in an insulating installation mode by adopting an insulating sealing clamping sleeve;

In the structure, the conductive outer sleeve and the conductive wire form a probe part, and the probe part and the electricity measuring part are cooperated to form a device capable of continuously measuring the liquid level of the liquid metal integrally, wherein the end part of the conductive outer sleeve inserted into the liquid metal is sealed to form a sealed end part, so that the high-temperature liquid metal can be prevented from entering the conductive outer sleeve, and the conductive wire of the core structure is completely positioned in the conductive outer sleeve, so that the conductive wire is not contacted with the high-temperature liquid metal, the conductive wire is prevented from being corroded, the service life and the measurement precision are improved, and the probe is particularly suitable for high-precision and long-time use under a high-temperature ring. The solution of continuous measurement is that, because the structure of the invention is that the conductive wire is directly connected to the bottom of the conductive outer sleeve, and the direct current power supply and the voltmeter are loaded according to the structure scheme, the structure is that the conductive outer sleeve is divided into the part above the liquid level and the part below the liquid level, the upper part of the liquid level is the interval from the liquid level to the point A and the point D, the lower part of the liquid level is the interval from the liquid level to the closed end, in this case, the part above the liquid level and the part below the liquid level of the conductive outer sleeve are (respectively) regarded as 2 resistances, and the resistances of the 2 parts are changed along with the change of the liquid level, but the sum of the total resistances is not changed, and meanwhile, because the liquid metal is conductive, the liquid metal and the liquid metal container are parallel connected at the junction position of the liquid metal and the conductive outer,Wherein the resistance of the part above the liquid level of the conductive outer sleeve is R1The resistance of the part below the liquid level of the conductive outer sleeve is R2the liquid metal and the liquid metal container have a resistance R3Meanwhile, the conductive wire can be regarded as 1 resistor RwUnder the structure, the equivalent circuit comprises a loop, wherein the loop is a power supply and an R connected in series1、R2、Rw,R1Connected to the positive pole of the power supply, Rw connected to the negative pole of the power supply, R2Is connected in parallel with R3The positive pole of the positive power supply of the voltmeter is connected with the positive pole, and the negative pole of the voltmeter is connected with R in serieswIn this circuit, we find:EinOutput voltage for DC power supply, EoutFor the reading of the voltmeter we find that the parameters that can be known in this formula are: rW、Ein,Eout,R3And R is1and R2is a parameter which dynamically changes along with the change of the liquid level and can not be directly obtained, and we find that R is the parameterWThe overall resistance of the material used is greater when the material used is less conductive, and because the conductive outer sleeve used in the present invention has a greater contact area with the liquid metal, the resistance of the liquid metal and its container portion is very low, where R has been found to be3Is much smaller than R1、R2、RWr can therefore be ignored3Therefore, in the above case, the above formula can be simplified as:
