Abstract

L'état d'un liquide, tel que l'état du poids spécifique de l'électrolyte dans une batterie à l'acide à éléments mouillés, est déterminé en mesurant le temps que mettent les ondes sonores pour parcourir une distance connue dans le liquide. Un transducteur de transmission de sons (50) et un transducteur de réception de sons (51) espacés mutuellement d'une distance prédéterminée sont généralement montés dans une sonde. Les transducteurs (50, 51) sont espacés de manière à avoir un déphasage nul du signal reçu pour un poids spécifique calibré. Un changement de poids spécifique se traduit par un changement de phase qui est détecté et affiché par un circuit électronique. Un élément de détection de température (52) peut être incorporé dans la sonde pour permettre des compensations de température et indiquer la température du liquide testé. Au lieu d'utiliser des transducteurs espacés (50, 51), un seul transducteur (50) peut être utilisé pour transmettre une onde sonore, puis il peut être commuté pour recevoir cette onde sonore transmise réfléchie par une surface de réflexion éloignée à une distance connue. Un transistor de puissance peut être incorporé pour commander la décharge et la charge de la batterie en fonction du poids spécifique mesuré.
