Currently, with the increasing environmental and renewable requirements, there is an increasing interest in batteries and combinations thereof in the energy field. Among them, common batteries may include cadmium nickel batteries, hydrogen nickel batteries, lithium ion batteries, secondary alkaline zinc manganese batteries, and the like. Although the variety of batteries is large, the demand for batteries in the market is still large due to the production efficiency. Therefore, improvement of the production process of the battery is needed to improve the production efficiency of the battery. In the production process of the battery, a large amount of lithium salt is required to be used, wherein the lithium salt comprises lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium fluoro-disulfonamide and the like, and has great influence on the internal resistance, electrochemical impedance, low-temperature performance, rate performance and the like of the battery. In the preparation process of lithium salt, the flow rate of liquid needs to be strictly controlled so as to realize the production continuity, wherein an important link in the preparation process of lithium salt is to laminate the mixed liquid into an upper liquid layer and a lower liquid layer so as to control the flow rate of each liquid layer.
The inventor tries to measure the interface by adopting a radar interface meter and a magnetostriction liquid level meter, but only the depth of a liquid layer with high dielectric constant can be measured by adopting a capacitance liquid level meter, and the interface position can not be detected. Therefore, the boundary position can be judged by manual calculation according to the production condition, and the observation is carried out on site through the sight glass, so that time and labor are wasted, the production continuity is affected, and production accidents are easily caused.
In view of the above problems, the inventors have made intensive studies to propose a method of

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus for interface measurement according to some embodiments of the present application.
As shown in FIG. 1, an apparatus 100 for interfacial position measurement of the present application includes a fluid reservoir 10, a first meter 20, and a second meter 30. The liquid storage tank 10 has a housing chamber for containing liquid such that the liquid is layered in the housing chamber and forms a first liquid layer and a second liquid layer disposed one above the other. The first detector 20 is disposed in the liquid storage tank 10, and is used for detecting the liquid level of the liquid in the accommodating cavity. The second detector 30 is provided in the liquid storage tank 10 and detects the depth of one of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer.
The liquid storage tank 10 is provided with a containing cavity, liquid is contained in the containing cavity, the liquid storage tank 10 is used for temporarily storing the liquid, and the liquid is stably layered in the containing cavity to form a first liquid layer and a second liquid layer which are arranged up and down. The first liquid layer and the second liquid layer may be layered due to a difference in density between the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer, or may be layered due to a difference in polarity between the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer.
The liquid storage tank 10 may have various shapes, such as a horizontal tank, a cone tank, a spherical tank, a cylindrical tank, etc., and may have other irregular shapes, and the shape of the liquid storage tank 10 should not affect the liquid contained therein, and the present application is not limited to the specific shape of the liquid storage tank 10. The liquid storage tank 10 may be made of various materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, ceramics, rubber or other composite materials.
The first liquid layer is typically of a higher density than the second liquid layer, the first liquid layer being located below the second liquid layer based on gravity. Alternatively, the density of the first liquid layer is less than the density of the second liquid layer, which is located below the first liquid layer based on gravity. Alternatively, the first liquid layer may be of a different polarity than the second liquid layer, and the first liquid layer may be layered with the second liquid layer according to similar compatible principles.
The first detector 20 is used for detecting the liquid level of the liquid in the accommodating cavity, that is, the total height of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer, which are arranged up and down. As the liquid is continuously injected into the accommodating cavity, the total height of the liquid is changed in real time, and the real-time liquid level measurement of the liquid is realized through the first detection. In addition, the liquid storage tank 10 may be provided with a transparent structure through which the liquid level in the accommodating chamber is directly measured, or a scale mark is provided on the transparent structure, and the liquid level in the accommodating chamber is directly read through the scale mark.
Optionally, the first detector 20 measures the liquid level of the liquid in the accommodating cavity by using a magnetic levitation type liquid level meter, a pressure type liquid level meter, an ultrasonic liquid level meter, a sonar liquid level meter, a magnetic flap liquid level meter, a radar liquid level meter, a capacitance type liquid level meter and the like.
The second detector 30 is for detecting the depth of one of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer. Along with the continuous injection of liquid into the holding intracavity, the continuous layering of liquid forms first liquid layer and the second liquid layer that sets up from top to bottom, and second detector 30 is used for measuring the degree of depth of first liquid layer or second liquid layer in real time. The second meter 30 needs to measure one of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer, not the other, or the measured value is ignored, so that the accuracy of the depth measurement is ensured.
Alternatively, the second gauge 30 measures the depth of the liquid layer using a photorefractive liquid level sensor, a magnetostrictive or capacitive liquid level gauge, or the like.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first gauge 20 and the second gauge 30 are provided on the liquid tank 10, and may be provided inside the liquid to perform contact measurement with the liquid or may be provided outside the liquid to perform non-contact measurement with the liquid.
The level of the liquid in the device 100 of the present application is expressed as the height of the liquid in the direction of gravity, i.e. the liquid height. The depth of the first liquid layer or the second liquid layer is expressed as the thickness of the first liquid layer or the second liquid layer in the direction of gravity. The interface is expressed as the height at which the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer delaminate along the direction of gravity.
According to the device 100 disclosed by the application, the liquid level of the liquid in the accommodating cavity of the liquid storage tank 10 is measured by designing the first detector 20, the depth of one of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer formed after layering of the liquid is measured by designing the second detector 30, and the interface between the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer is obtained by calculating the liquid level and the depth, so that the measurement of the interface is converted into the measurement of the liquid level and the depth, and the problem that the interface cannot be measured is solved. The device 100 of the application realizes the measurement of the interface position by only two detectors, and has simple structure and high measurement accuracy. Moreover, the first detector 20 and the second detector 30 can realize timely detection, which is beneficial to timely adjusting the flow rate of liquid, ensures the continuity of production and improves the production efficiency.
According to one embodiment of the application, the density of the first liquid layer is less than the density of the second liquid layer, and the first detector 20 is arranged to be higher than the liquid level of the first liquid layer.

In an embodiment of the present application, the second gauge 30 may be disposed at the same location as the first gauge 20, i.e., the second gauge 30 is above the liquid level of the first liquid layer, where the second gauge 30 measures the depth of the first liquid layer. Alternatively, the second gauge 30 is disposed within the first liquid layer, at which time the depth of the first liquid layer is measured. Alternatively, the second gauge 30 is disposed within the second liquid layer, at which time the depth of the second liquid layer is measured.
In these alternative embodiments, the first level gauge is higher than the level of the first liquid layer, and does not need to contact the liquid in the accommodating cavity, and the level of the liquid can be measured quickly and accurately without being influenced by pressure and gas of temperature.
According to one embodiment of the application, the difference in density between the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer is less than 0.1g/cm 3 The first gauge 20 comprises a radar level gauge.
In embodiments of the application, the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer are mutually incompatible, and the difference in density between the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer is less than 0.1g/cm 3 Because the density difference of the two mediums is small, the conventional liquid level detector or interface level detector cannot realize interface level measurement or cannot realize accurate measurement.
In an embodiment of the application, the first gauge 20 comprises a radar level gauge. The principle of radar level gauges is the time-travel method, which uses the reflection of microwave energy on the surface of a liquid to be measured and measures the travel time from the transmission to the reception of the reflected echo, in order to measure the distance of the liquid surface. In the liquid storage tank 10, a radar level gauge is arranged at the top of the liquid storage tank 10, and the liquid level is obtained by subtracting the height of air from the total height of the liquid storage tank 10.
Illustratively, the radar level gauge is provided with a mounting flange, the reservoir 10 is provided with an opening, and the opening is provided with a flange structure cooperating with the mounting flange. A sealing ring is arranged between the fixing flange and the liquid storage tank 10, and the fixing flange is fixed on the liquid storage tank 10 through the sealing ring so as to ensure that the radar liquid level gauge is arranged on the liquid storage tank 10 without leakage and other problems.
In these alternative embodiments, the radar level gauge is designed, and is mounted on the upper portion of the liquid storage tank 10 and higher than the first liquid layer, so that the radar level gauge is convenient to mount, can be selectively measured in contact with or non-contact with liquid, and emits electromagnetic waves which are not affected by external conditions such as environment, and has the advantages of high accuracy, large measurement range, simple mounting, wide application and the like.
According to one embodiment of the application, the density of the first liquid layer is smaller than the density of the second liquid layer, and the second detector 30 is arranged to be higher than the liquid level of the first liquid layer and to detect the depth of the first liquid layer.
In these alternative embodiments, the second detector 30 is configured to detect the depth of the first liquid layer disposed on the upper layer, and the first detector 20 is configured to detect the liquid level of the liquid, where the difference between the liquid level and the depth is obtained, so that the boundary between the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer is obtained, the depth of the second liquid layer is measured without penetrating the first liquid layer, so that the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer are prevented from affecting each other, and the measurement method is simple and accurate.
According to one embodiment of the application, the difference in dielectric constant of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer is greater than 10 and the dielectric constant of the second liquid layer is less than 10, the second detector 30 comprising a capacitive liquid level meter.

Thus, by designing the first meter 20 and the second meter 30, the interface measurement of the first liquid layer and the second liquid layer having these characteristics is achieved.
Optionally, the first liquid layer is a hydrophilic liquid. The second liquid layer is a hydrophobic liquid.
Illustratively, the first liquid layer is water and the second liquid layer is dichlorobutane.
Illustratively, the first liquid layer is an unsaturated sodium chloride solution and the second liquid layer is methylene chloride.

When the liquid increases, the relative dielectric constant of the liquid is larger than 1, so that the capacitance increases in proportion to the depth of the liquid, and the increase of the capacitance is detected by the electronic component, so that the depth of the liquid can be measured.
In the embodiment of the application, the larger the dielectric constant is, the better the reflection effect of the echo signal of the radar level gauge is, so that the radar level gauge is suitable for the liquid with the larger dielectric constant of the first liquid layer.
In these alternative embodiments, the capacitive gauge is designed to accommodate the measurement of liquids where the difference in density between the first and second liquid layers is small and the difference in dielectric constant between the first and second liquid layers is large. The capacitance type liquid level meter can measure at high temperature, high pressure and corrosion conditions, and is also suitable for measuring various liquids, oils and the like so as to ensure accurate measurement of the liquid in the liquid storage tank 10. In addition, the depth of the first liquid layer can be measured by the capacitance type liquid, and the capacitance generated by the second liquid layer is negligible because the dielectric constant of the second liquid layer is far smaller than that of the first liquid layer.
