2. Description of the Related Art An air-blown fluidized bed powder tank, which has been widely used in the field of powder coating, detects the level (capacity) of powder stored in the powder tank. As a method, a capacitance type sensor is mainly used. And, this electrostatic capacity type sensor is provided at two positions of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the capacity of the powder tank, and the powder capacity is always between the upper limit value and the lower limit value based on the signal obtained by this sensor. The control as in the above has been performed.

The above-mentioned conventional techniques have the following problems. In other words, it is a problem that appears prominently when handling powder that is viscous or that tends to adhere, but when powder adheres and accumulates on the sensing surface of a capacitance type sensor, the sensor malfunctions and causes an error. Is to emit a signal. In order to prevent this, an air nozzle that ejects compressed air is provided, and the compressed air is periodically blown from the air nozzle toward the sensor to perform cleaning so that powder does not adhere.

Further, the detection signals obtained by the sensor are only two points, that is, the upper limit and the lower limit, at which the sensor is provided. If an intermediate position is to be detected, the sensor is separately provided at the required position. I had to set it up. However, it is difficult to install a large number of sensors in terms of space, and no matter how many sensors are installed, the signal obtained from them is a stepwise signal, and the powder level (capacity) can be set infinitely. Could not be detected by.

Further, the present inventors have tried to detect the level (capacity) of the powder steplessly by using an ultrasonic sensor in order to solve the above problems. As a method for this, an ultrasonic sensor is installed on the upper lid of the powder tank from the upper lid toward the lower inside of the powder tank to continuously detect the level of the powder. However, this did not give very good results. that is,
The ultrasonic waves emitted from the sensor are diffusely reflected by the powder that is fluffy and floating above the powder level,
Probably because the accurate powder level could not be detected.

Reference numeral 17 is a signal cable connecting the ultrasonic sensor 15 and the control device 3, and reference numeral 18 is an air vent hole provided in the upper portion of the protective tube 16. Further, the inner surface of the protective tube 16 is preferably a mirror-finished surface or a smooth surface such as chrome plating in order to avoid generation of noise against ultrasonic waves, and the lower end portion of the inner surface of the protective tube 16 is subjected to smooth R processing. It is desirable to be done. If the lower end of the inner surface of the protective tube 16 has a sharp edge, ultrasonic waves may react at that portion, which may cause malfunction. In this embodiment, the protective tube 16 is made of stainless steel whose inner surface is mirror-finished. Also, when a plastic pipe made of Teflon or the like is used as the protective pipe 16, data is obtained which is slightly inferior to that made of metal, probably because a resonance action occurs. These considerations may be necessary when using a plastic protective tube.
