Abstract
Ein Niveauanzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige des Füllstandes eines flüssigen Mediums in einem Tank, ist mit einem Füllstandsmessgerät (6) verbindbar. Ein elektrooptisches Balkenanzeigeelement (22), das an der Außenseite des Tanks (10a) vorgesehen ist und das sich im Wesentlichen über die gesamten Pegelbereich Hmin bis Hmax erstreckt wird von einer Ansteuereinheit 24 so angesteuert, dass der an der Außenseite des Tanks (10a) signalisierte Flüssigkeitsspiegel mit dem tatsächlichen Flüssigkeitsspiegel im inneren des Tanks (10a) direkt 1 zu 1 korrespondiert.A level indicating unit for indicating the level of a liquid medium in a tank is connectable to a level gauge (6). An electro-optical bar display element (22) provided on the outside of the tank (10a) and extending substantially over the entire level ranges Hmin to Hmax is driven by a drive unit 24 to signal on the outside of the tank (10a) Liquid level with the actual liquid level inside the tank (10 a) directly 1 to 1 corresponds.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Niveauanzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige des Flüssigkeitspegels in einem Tank gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a level indicating unit for displaying the liquid level in a tank according to the preamble of claim 1.
Für die Anzeige des Flüssigkeitspegels in einem Tank sind verschiedene Anzeigemöglichkeiten bekannt. Eine erste Variante besteht darin, an dem Tank ein Bypassrohr (Schauglass) vorzusehen das zumindest teilweise durchsichtig ist. Der Anwender sieht dadurch unmittelbar den Flüssigkeitspegel im Tank. Hier handelt es sich um eine rein passive Anzeige, die keine Hilfsenergie benötigt. Problematisch insbesondere bei großen Tanks ist, dass die Anschlüsse für ein derartiges Bypassrohr sehr aufwendig sind. Außerdem sind die Bypassrohre schwer zu reinigen.For the display of the liquid level in a tank various display options are known. A first variant is to provide on the tank a bypass tube (sight glass) which is at least partially transparent. The user thus sees directly the liquid level in the tank. This is a purely passive display that does not require auxiliary power. A problem, especially in large tanks is that the connections for such a bypass pipe are very expensive. In addition, the bypass pipes are difficult to clean.
Aus der
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es eine Niveauanzeigeeinheit zur Anzeige des Flüssigkeitspegels in einem Tank anzugeben, die oben genannten Nachteile nicht aufweist, dass insbesondere eine einfache und intuitiv erfassbare Anzeige des Füllstands in einem Tank ermöglicht.Object of the present invention is to provide a level display unit for displaying the liquid level in a tank, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, that in particular allows a simple and intuitively detectable indication of the level in a tank.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale.This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Nachfolgend ist die Erfindung anhand des in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawing.

Die Niveauanzeigeeinheit
Durch eine Farbänderung, kann dem Anwender signalisiert werden, wenn ein Schaltpunkt überschritten wurde, z. B. Farbumschlag des Balkens von grün auf rot. Hierfür werden entsprechende Farb-LEDs benötigt, die von der Ansteuereinheit
Der wesentliche Vorteil den die Erfindung bietet ist, dass der Füllstand in einem Tank durch den Anwender einfach und kostengünstig intuitiv erfassbar ist.The main advantage offered by the invention is that the fill level in a tank can be detected intuitively by the user simply and inexpensively.
