Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the utility model is described further:
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the utility model embodiment one;
Fig. 2 is the structural representation of the utility model embodiment two;
Fig. 3 is the structural representation of temperature measurement module in the utility model;
In figure: 1 temperature measurement module; 2 constant current sources; 3 water-tight shells; 4 wires; 5 terminals; 6 thermal insulation parts; 7 metering circuits; 8 resistance; 9 temperature sensors.
Embodiment
Embodiment one: as shown in Figure 1, based on the level sensor of temperature sensor, should comprise water-tight shell 3, constant current source 2, multiple temperature measurement module 1, also comprises metering circuit 7.
Described constant current source 2 and temperature measurement module 1 are all arranged in water-tight shell 3.
Temperature measurement module is fitted tightly by a temperature sensor 9 and a resistance 8 and forms, and make the temperature of the direct reaction resistance 8 of temperature sensor 9 measurement result, as shown in Figure 3, the resistance 8 of each temperature measurement module is connected and closed-loop path in series with constant current source 2.Described closed circuit leads to the link for outer connected control system.The resistance of resistance can be selected according to thermal value demand, and general heating amount is large, is conducive to improving accuracy of detection.
In this embodiment, metering circuit 7 is positioned at water-tight shell 3, is connected, the electric signal that the temperature for obtaining each temperature sensor 9 is corresponding with temperature sensor 9 wire in each temperature measurement module.
Water-tight shell 3 comprises multistage heat conduction shell and multiple thermal insulation parts 6.Heat conduction shell is made up of heat-transfer matcrial, such as, adopt stainless steel to make, be conducive to the conduction of heat, improve the accuracy of measurement, certainly, in actual applications, also can use other heat-transfer matcrial, such as aluminium, copper etc.Each described temperature sensor 9 contacts with one section of described heat conduction shell.Thermal insulation parts 6 are made up of heat-barrier material; By the heat insulation connection of at least one thermal insulation parts 6 between two sections of adjacent heat conduction shells, each like this temperature sensor 9 has hot independence, avoids the interference because shell heat conduction brings.
The technology of the optimization taked in this embodiment, the spacing between two resistance 8 of arbitrary neighborhood is equal.
Embodiment two: as shown in Figure 2, the difference of this embodiment and embodiment one is, described metering circuit 7 is arranged on outside water-tight shell 3, and each temperature sensor 9 is drawn wire 4 and formed the terminals 5 be connected with metering circuit in the bottom of water-tight shell 3 outside water-tight shell 3.All the other technology, with embodiment one, repeat no more.
The principle using above-mentioned level sensor to measure water level is: when the resistance 8 in temperature measurement module 1 passes to electric current, due to electricresistance effect, it can heat up.Because the radiating effect of water and air is different, resistance wherein heats up and shows also difference.Due to the poor conductor that air is heat, in atmosphere, resistance is once energising, and its temperature almost can rise by straight line, if electric current is comparatively large, the rising of temperature can be quite obvious; And due to water be the good conductor of heat, resistance is energized in water, and what its heat can be very fast is delivered in water, thus causes its temperature also not have too fast change (if container is comparatively large even substantially constant).If put into water by multiple identical resistant series to constant current source, due to employing is constant current source, the heat that each resistance produces is identical substantially, but the temperature rise of the resistance in water will be far smaller than the temperature rise of resistance in air, namely in water, the temperature of resistance is less than the temperature of resistance in air.The temperature variation of each resistance measured by the temperature sensor 9 of each correspondence, and by measure of the change, whether it is in water, and measures water level with this.
The measuring method of above-mentioned level sensor is as follows:
1. substantially vertical for level sensor being positioned over need be measured in level vessels;
2. constant current source is made to be energized to closed-loop path;
3. metering circuit is used to measure the temperature of each temperature sensor successively, and by the value of electrical signals of temperature being designated as the first temperature;
4., after one default period, metering circuit is used again to measure the temperature of each temperature sensor successively, and by the value of electrical signals of temperature being designated as the second temperature;
5. utilize external comparator circuit the first temperature of each temperature sensor to be compared with the second temperature, the first temperature of each temperature sensor and the difference of the second temperature are recorded as the 3rd temperature;
3rd temperature compares with the threshold value preset by 6. external comparator circuit, each 3rd temperature is to there being a default threshold value, as the 3rd temperature is less than the threshold value preset of its correspondence, temperature sensor then belonging to the 3rd temperature is in water, as the 3rd temperature is greater than the threshold value preset of its correspondence, then the temperature sensor belonging to the 3rd temperature is arranged in air;
7. according to step 6. in result determination water level.
In the above-mentioned methods, the described default time is preferably 5-120 second, each 3rd temperature corresponding preset threshold value be 1% ~ 3% of respective first temperature.
The temperature sensor of any type can be used in level sensor, it changes as long as can react environment temperature, different temperature sensors can with different signal reaction temperature, its measurement may need different circuit to carry out, that is, to different temperature sensors, metering circuit may be different, and connected mode also may be different between the two.In any case temperature sensor and metering circuit and annexation are between the two all common practise, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs, because itself and this patent have nothing to do, will not tire out at this and state.
In the embodiment described in accompanying drawing 1 and accompanying drawing 2, metering circuit arranges respectively and is not arranged in level sensor, and these set-up modes are all allow.In addition, external comparator circuit can be arranged in level sensor too, its concrete set-up mode can use according to embody rule situation.
The line etc. of be understandable that, connect the line of each temperature measurement module in accompanying drawing, drawing from metering circuit should be the bundle conductor of many lines composition, and the single line in figure is only a kind of signal, only represents annexation wherein, instead of the restriction to quantity.Concrete quantity according to the connection of reality determine.
Above-described external comparator circuit comprises storage data, comparing function, common comparator circuit is adopted to get final product (as Single Chip Microcomputer (SCM) system, computer software etc.), its method for designing is the common practise of this area, because the technology contents of itself and this patent has nothing to do, will not tire out state at this.
The above; be only this patent preferably embodiment, but the protection domain of this patent is not limited thereto, is anyly familiar with those skilled in the art in the technical scope that this patent discloses; the change that can expect easily or replacement, within the protection domain that all should be encompassed in this patent.
