Problems solved by technology

However, since the electrical properties such as electrical conductivity and dielectric constant of air and ice are very similar, neither of these two methods can accurately determine the position of the upper interface of the ice layer, and thus cannot accurately measure the thickness of the ice layer

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ice layer thickness measuring device, in particular to an ice layer thickness measuring device based on a piezoresistive sensor, belonging to the technical field of automatic detection. Background technique [0002] In the fields of weather forecasting, ice flood prevention, and structural health monitoring of facilities, the change of ice thickness is an important environmental parameter that needs to be measured. In order to measure the thickness of the ice layer, people have to drill holes in the ice and use a ruler to measure the thickness of the ice layer. Although this method of manual measurement is accurate, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and dangerous, and cannot continuously and real-time monitor changes in ice thickness. [0003] Later, some contact ice thickness measurement techniques and devices appeared one after another. Chinese patent (201210139060.2) discloses a dual-system ice layer thickness measu...
