A device for detecting the level of a liquid in a container, includes an optical structure facing at least partly the region inside the container in a position corresponding to a predefined level of the liquid and having a main surface, a first side surface and a second side surface which are inclined at about 45° with respect to the main surface and about 90° relative to each other; and an emitter and a receiver facing the main surface of the optical structure and able to send a radiation beam towards the first side surface and, respectively, receive a radiation beam emitted by the emitter and reflected by the first and second side surfaces, when the level of the liquid inside the container is lower than the predefined level. The structure extends mainly outside the container and faces the region inside the container only opposite the first side surface. |
