Device for determining the level of a medium in a container |
摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for determining the level (F) of a medium (<bold>3</highlight>) in a container (<bold>2</highlight>) using a capacitive sensor (<bold>4</highlight>). A voltage source which subjects the sensor (<bold>4</highlight>) to a measuring frequency (f<subscript>M</highlight>) is provided, as is a measuring/evaluating circuit (<bold>6</highlight>) which establishes the measured capacitance (C<subscript>M</highlight>), compares this to a predetermined capacitance value and provides the information concerning the level (F) of the medium (<bold>3</highlight>) in the container (<bold>2</highlight>). The aim of the invention is to increase the measuring sensitivity of a capacitive sensor (<bold>4</highlight>) without increasing the sensitivity of the sensor to interfering signals. To this end, the measuring/evaluating circuit (<bold>6</highlight>) has at least one inductance (L) which together with the measured capacitance (C<subscript>M</highlight>), forms a resonant circuit (<bold>7</highlight>).
