- the administering means 3 further comprises a drive 33 for the feed 31 which presses the feed 31 against the end wall 2 of the liquid container 1 and thus administers the liquid 14 located in the liquid container 1 to the respective patient.
- the illustrated embodiment allows the determination of a level by means of capacitive measurement.
- the invention is not limited in principle to the level measurement shown here but can be used in general for the measurement of any capacity or each measured variable whose change is reflected in a change in capacitance. It is thus not necessary for the invention to be used to determine a filling level. Rather, the invention allows any determination of a capacity. In the following, the determination of the capacity is shown, which does not require an additional AC voltage source and without a battery or an accumulator.
- the capacitance between the two electrodes 4, 5 is determined with the circuit shown in Fig. 5.
- the circuit comprises an antenna 8, which is connected to a communication unit 7.
- the antenna 8 is a coil antenna, such as used in NFC applications.
- the antenna 8 serves for communication between the communication unit 7 with an external data communication device 40, for example a mobile telephone, on the other hand the antenna 8 also enables the transmission of the energy required for measurement and communication from the data communication device 40 to the capacity determination unit according to the invention.
- the communication unit 7 may, in a particular embodiment, comprise a small buffer memory for buffering the amount of electrical energy required to operate the communication unit 7 during the measurement and communication with the data communication device 40.
- the buffer does not need to be dimensioned so large that its energy content for generating an AC signal to determine the capacitance between the two electrodes 4, 5 sufficient.
- the measurement of the capacitance between the two electrodes as well as the capacitance of the reference capacitor 11 can be measured directly, the specific energy required for the measurement can be provided directly by the data communication device.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in this example has a second antenna 9 and a third antenna 10.
- the two connections of the second antenna 9 are connected to the two electrodes 4, 5.
- a voltage is applied between the two electrodes 4, 5, the amplitude of each of which depends on the capacitance of the respective capacitor.
- the terminals of the third antenna 10 are connected to a respective one of the electrodes of the reference capacitor 11.
- the second antennas 9 and the third antenna 10 have the same number of turns. However, this is not mandatory.
- a calibration offset could, for example, deliberately be generated by a different choice of number of turns, which facilitates the dimensioning of the reference capacitance, if necessary.
- the electric field energy introduced by the external data communication device 40 and the frequency of the field generated by the external data communication device 40 are different depending on the type of the external data communication device 40.
- the third antenna 10 is provided, which wraps around the same area as the second antenna 9.
- the two terminals of the third antenna 10 are connected to the two electrodes of a reference capacitor 11 connected.
- the second and third antenna 9, 10 wrap around the same area.
- the fan-shaped representation in FIGS. 4 and 5 is merely a simpler and clearer representation. Since the second and third antenna 9, 10 wrap around the same area and the relative position between the external data communication device 40 and the antennas 9, 10 has no effect on the ratio between the voltage at the output of the reference capacitor 11 and the voltage between the two electrodes 4, 5th
- An essential advantage of the invention is that for the (determination of the capacitance between the two electrodes 4, 5 and optionally the capacitance of the reference capacitor 11 no additional voltage generator and no additional accumulator are required, but the energy required for [determining the respective capacity directly can be taken from the electromagnetic field generated by the data communication device 40.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in this example comprises two measuring circuits 6, 16 which are connected to the communication unit 7 and transmit all values measured by them to the communication unit 7
- the two measuring circuits 6, 16 each have a rectifier, a rectifier downstream smoothing circuit and a smoothing circuit downstream ADC circuit. The result of the respective ADC circuit is supplied to the communication unit 7.
- a capacitance and measured value determining unit 15 is provided, each of which determines the relationship between the voltage at the output of the reference capacitor 11 and the voltage between the two electrodes 4, 5 and makes this result available at its output and to which the communication unit 7 forwards , If necessary, a conversion of this ratio into a capacitance or a measured variable derived therefrom may be carried out, wherein the respective ratio is compared in each case with reference conditions ascertained by means of calibration determined beforehand for predetermined capacitance values.
- the ascertained capacitance value Cm can be converted into the respective filling level quantity L of the liquid 14 in the liquid container 1 in accordance with the diagram shown in FIG.
- the Medunikationsseinheft 7 transmits this ratio or the respective converted measured variable on request to the external data communication device 40.
- the capacitance and Meßwert- determining unit 15, the measuring circuits 6, 16 and the reference capacitor on a common chip 17 are housed.
- the communication unit 7 can additionally be accommodated in the chip 17.
- the administration means 3 is controlled in the present embodiment of the invention by a control unit, not shown, which is supplied to the voltage applied to the output of the comparison unit 15 measured value for the level of the liquid container 1.
- the control unit activates the administering means 3 until the level of the liquid container 1 is reduced by a predetermined amount. At most, the process can also be stopped when the feed has reached a stop.
- an error message can be issued, indicating that the respective liquid container 1 is empty and not the amount of liquid to be administered has been administered.
- the fill level L is determined, as described above. Thus, it is thus a first level L1 before administration and a second level L2 available after administration. If one forms the difference DL between the first and second fill levels, one obtains that amount of liquid which was administered in each case.
- the first fill level L1 can be stored before the administration for metering the respective liquid, and the second fill level can be determined continuously.
- the administration is aborted.
- the respective delivery means 3 is deactivated, for example, the drive 33 is deactivated for the feed 31 and the feed 31 is stopped. No additional fluid 14 is administered or delivered.
