Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the exceeding of a DC voltage, which is applied on a water electrode, beyond a non-operating region, by connecting a diode and a resistor between water detecting electrodes in the reverse direction with respect to PUT. CONSTITUTION:A series circuit of a diode 12 and a resistor 13 is connected to a water electrode 1 in parallel. A cathode K of the diode 12 is connected to the side of resistors 3 and 4. When a voltage, which is applied on the water electrode 1, is V+, the potential is decreased owing to the parallel connection of the resistor 4. When the voltage is V-, the potential is also decreased owing by to the parallel connection of the resistor 3. A DC component VDC does not exceed the non-operating region of the water electrode 1. Therefore, the water electrode 1 is not corroded even for usage in a long time. Thus the water can be detected reliably for the long period.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, as an inexpensive water detection device, there is a method of applying an alternating current voltage to two electrodes and detecting the voltage between the two electrodes using a PUT. Its configuration will be explained using FIG. 3. Reference numeral 1 denotes a water detection electrode (hereinafter referred to as water electrode), which is connected to an AC power source 2 via a resistor 3. The potential divided by the water electrode 1 and the resistor 3 is applied to the gate G of the PUT 5 via the resistor 4.

Further, a potential obtained by dividing the AC power supply 2 by a resistor 6, a resistor 7.8, and a reverse current prevention diode 9 is applied to the anode A of the PUT 5. The anode A potential of PUT5 is connected to resistor 7.
, 8 and applied between the base and emitter of the transistor 100, and the collector is connected to the control system 11.

Next, to explain the operation, when water does not touch water electrode 1, P
The potential applied to the gate G of the UT5 has the same amplitude as the AC power supply 2, and the anode A potential does not exceed the gate G potential, so almost no current flows between the anode A and the cathode, and the transistor 10 is turned on. It shows that there is no water. When water touches the water electrode 1, the gate G potential of the PUT 5 becomes a potential divided by the water resistance between the resistor 3 and the water electrode 1, and the anode A potential becomes higher than the anode A-cathode potential. There is continuity between the two. Therefore, the potential of the anode A is Ov, and the transistor 10
indicates that ○FFL water is present. Based on this signal, the control system 11 detects the presence or absence of water.

Here, when water fills the water electrode 1, as shown in FIG.
It is equivalent to the collector-emitter of Nh Lannosta,
Only when a current flows in the input direction, the resistor 4 is connected in parallel with the water electrode 1. Therefore, the potential between the water electrodes 1 decreases, and as shown in Figure 5, the balance between ■+ and ■- is disrupted, and the DC component exceeds the negative region of 1, causing anodic oxidation.As a result, the electrodes begin to corrode and become long. The electrodes will disappear over time.

Therefore, even though water is present, no current flows between the water electrodes 1, making it impossible to detect water.

For example, FIG. 2 shows an example of the passive region of 5US304, and in this case, when the direct current component VDC exceeds about 0.5 V, anodic oxidation begins and corrosion occurs. However, according to the present invention, since the direct current component VDC is close to o, which is extremely smaller than O and SV, the water electrode 1 is not anodic oxidized and is not consumed even if it is used for a long period of time. , Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the DC voltage applied to the water electrode will not exceed the passive state range, and therefore the water electrode will not be corroded even after many years of use. This is a highly durable water detection device that can reliably detect water over a period of time.
