NON-ORIENTED FLUID LEVEL SENSOR

摘要

A fluid level sensor comprising a body including an axially extending post configured for insertion into a container comppsing a fluid and a float having an opening The post may extend at least partially through the opening in the float A magnetic structure may be coupled to the float and a magnetic field sensor may be coupled to the body at a position axially spaced from and adjacent to an end of the float for sensing magnetic flux imparted thereon by the magnetic structure as the float moves radially with respect to the post Optionally, an annular magnetic shield may be disposed at least partially within the post and may define a cavity The magnetic field sensor may be at least partially disposed within the cavity The annular magnetic shield may optionally comprises an aperture disposed proximate an end face of the annular magnetic shield proximate the float
