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.
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.
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.
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 is characterized in that it being a kind of, what liquid level signal can be by suspension magnetic induction neuron circuit sampling, by the bar type sensor that several magnetic inductive neuron circuits are formed, this sensor is made up of two parts on the whole.A part is the data-signal collecting part, and another part is that part is sent in the data-signal change.The data-signal collecting part, its chip skeleton is made with dielectric panel, the front of chip is fixed with some blocks of induction neuron circuit plates, every 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.The chip skeleton of whole passive liquid-level sensor forms with the insulating material casting, and chip becomes a cross section after casting be rectangular solid barred body.Its cross section is generally 20 millimeters * 30 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 the neural point of corresponding magnetosensitive.
Passive liquid-level sensor is characterized in that the most handy epoxy resin board of chip skeleton makes, and plastic insulating material casting such as available epoxy, plastics form.Shell and whole the branch with liquid contacting part all adopt stainless steel to make, and be antirust, anticorrosion, durable in use.The hydrolock lead terminal is that corresponding neuron circuit sends signal to maincenter when liquid level changes up and down with plastics and epoxy resin or the making of other insulating material.Particularly be exactly, liquid level is during near certain induced inside unit circuit, and this circuit produces switch upset, and just signal becomes " 0 " by " 1 ".Output signal becomes " 1 " by " 0 " when liquid level leaves intrinsic nerve unit circuit.Several are responded to first on-off circuit and have formed a liquid (oil) position neural line.See schematic diagram for details.(Fig. 1) some induction unit's on-off circuits and weighted resistance network have constituted the liquid level decoding circuit.Total effect of whole conversion is: the liquid level change with from low to high finally is transformed to 1-5V, signal output in the mark of 4-20 milliampere.
Passive liquid-level sensor has designed anti-power circuit especially in order to prevent the influence of static or external power supply in sensor and between sensor and the transmitter.If because of maloperation or other reason make signal wire charged, this circuit can play buffer action, and power supply is refused in oil tank (oil depot district) in addition.
Passive liquid-level sensor has different specifications, and its barred body external diameter is 20 millimeters * 30 millimeters.Length is 0.5 meter-20 meters.This sensor mainly is made up of two parts, and a part is a part of data acquisition, and another part is the signal transmitting part.(structure auspicious see Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4)
The function of signals collecting part is that liquid level is converted to digital impedance signal.Its chip skeleton (1) is made with epoxy resin board, and the front of (or other dielectric panel) chip is fixed with some magnetic induction unit's on-off circuits (2) and weighted resistance network.The chip of making is put into stainless steel casing (3), forms with the insulating material casting then.The casting Available Material has epoxy resin, plastics etc.
Lead terminal (4) the plug-in type lead terminal that has water seal of design voluntarily.(this connector need not to do other water-proofing treatment and can drop into use in the water (oil) entirely after patching fastening getting well.
The function of signal transmitting part is that digital impedance signal is for conversion into voltage (1-5V) and electric current (4-20 milliampere) signal that meets international standard.Transmitter has power isolation circuit between the two away from (greater than 200 meters) part of data acquisition.
The main application and the advantage of invention:
1, purposes: the oil level that is used for oil, chemical industry and industrial and mining enterprises detects automatically.Be used for oil level detection and POL measuring management such as oil depot, oil tanker, refuelling station.
2. advantage:
