First detection signal in embodiments of the present invention, should in order to more completely detect the variation of the liquid level information in container
The length value of the short transverse of signal receiver 3 is greater than or equal to the maximum level of container, and the signal receiver 3 is for receiving the
Two detection signals, wherein the second detection signal is the signal that first detection signal is transmitted to signal receiver 3 by liquid, energy
Enough to judge that the liquid level of liquid provides foundation.Liquid level detection system through the embodiment of the present invention holds firstly, the substrate 1 is set to
It on the lateral wall of device, will not directly be contacted with liquid, avoid electric shock risk；Secondly, sender unit 2 sends the first detection letter
Number, which transmits by liquid, and signal receiver 3 can receive the second detection signal, incudes skill using mutual capacitance
Art principle can know the capacitor between first detection signal and the second detection signal by the second detection signal, so i.e.
Make liquid level that small variation have occurred, when first detection signal is transmitted by liquid, the detection letter of signal receiver 3 received second
Number larger change can also occur, thus achieve the purpose that accurately to detect the capacitor between sender unit 2 and signal receiver 3,
So as to adequately judge that liquid level provides foundation, solves existing liquid level detection device and directly paste electricity on the wall
Hold detector, the defect of liquid level variation can not be accurately detected.
Specifically, the first detection signal in above-mentioned specific embodiment is voltage signal, and the second detection signal is charge
Signal is measured, i.e., the sender unit 2 in the embodiment of the present invention sends voltage signal, which is transmitted to signal by liquid
Receiver 3 can receive charge on signal receiver 3, and the quantity of electric charge signal on the signal receiver 3 is above-mentioned second detection letter
Number, according to technology well known in the art, the received charge on receiving electrode, the mutual electricity between receiving electrode and sender electrode
Rongcheng direct ratio, i.e. Q=UC, Q indicate that the quantity of electric charge received on signal receiver 3, U indicate the voltage that sender unit 2 provides,
C indicates the capacitor between sender unit 2 and signal receiver 3, according to the principle, you can learn that the electricity of the liquid detected
Hold.
Then, according to the known calculation formula in this field: C=Er × Eo × A/d connects liquid is calculated with signal
The contact area A for receiving device 3, in the formula, Er indicates that the relative dielectric constant of chamber wall, Eo indicate the dielectric constant of air, A
Indicate the contact area of liquid and signal receiver 3, d indicates the thickness of chamber wall.According to above-mentioned formula be calculated liquid with

Two sender units 2 are separately positioned on the two sides of signal receiver 3, and two sender units 2 can be used as one at
Type, it is also possible to separated, if separated, then two sender units 2 need to be connected with conducting wire, and two signals are sent
The purpose that device 2 is separately positioned on the two sides of signal receiver 3 is, so that the right and left of signal receiver 3 uniformly receives first
Signal is detected, so that the capacitance of detection is more accurate.
Specifically, the signal receiver 3 of the embodiment of the present invention includes two sub- signal receivers 31, the two subsignals connect
It receives device 31 to be set side by side on substrate 1, i.e., as shown in Fig. 2, setting gradually sender unit 2, two from left to right on substrate 1
Subsignal receiver 31 and sender unit 2, horizontal line where such liquid level can simultaneously with two sub- signal receivers 31
Intersection, two sub- signal receivers 31 receive the second detection signal simultaneously, according to the two received electricity of subsignal receiver 31
Lotus total amount calculates capacitor, signal receiver 3 due to a sub- signal receiver 31 less than a monolith, and subsignal receives
When the ratio for the entire area that the contact area of device 31 and liquid accounts for the subsignal receiver 31 is bigger, small area change is
Can cause the relatively big difference of its measured value, therefore precision of its detection is higher, it follows that by two sub- signal receivers 31
It receives signal receiver 3 detection of the detection signal compared to a monolith and receives signal, the capacitance accuracy of acquisition is high, measurement result
It is more acurrate.

Subsignal receiver 31, successively arrangement is set on substrate this seven sub- signal receivers 31 in two separate ranks, and two column subsignals receive
Device 31 is successively staggered, so that liquid level intersects at least two subsignal receivers 31 in the horizontal direction.Of the invention real
It applies in example, sender unit 2 and signal receiver 3 are all copper foil, are pasted on substrate 1, and as shown in Figure 3a, which receives
Device 31 is the copper foil of triangle, is successively staggered, and liquid level can intersect in the horizontal direction with two sub- signal receivers 31,
When sender unit 2 sends voltage signal, the different quantities of electric charge, all sub- letters can be received on each subsignal receiver 31
The summation of the quantity of electric charge on number receiver 31 is the total charge dosage detected, and detection then is calculated according to the total charge dosage
The capacitor arrived.Because each subsignal receiver 31 is different from the contact area of liquid, the small change of liquid level can also cause son
The variation of the detection capacitor of signal receiver 31, so that the precision of detection capacitor is directly set on container side wall compared to existing
The mode of a capacitance detector is set, detection accuracy is high, and can provide accurate foundation to obtain liquid level change information.This hair
