CAPACITANCE-TYPE SENSOR PROBE

摘要

Sensor probes for capacitance-type liquid level sensors do not comprise an acceptable balance between cost, performance and durability for mobile applications. An improved sensor probe is provided. A first electrode comprises two or more first plate sections arranged in angular relationship with respect to each other. A second electrode comprises two or more second plate sections arranged in angular relationship with respect to each other. Spacers are located between the first and second electrodes such that each first plate section is spaced apart in parallel and substantially overlapping relationship with respective second plate sections. Fasteners securely fix the first and second electrodes in position.

1. A sensor probe for a capacitance-type liquid level sensor comprising:
a first electrode comprising two or more first plate sections arranged in angular relationship with respect to each other; a second electrode comprising two or more second plate sections arranged in angular relationship with respect to each other; spacers located between said first and second electrodes such that each first plate section is spaced apart in parallel and substantially overlapping relationship with respective second plate sections; and fasteners for securely fixing said first and second electrodes in position.
