Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water level measuring devices, and in particular to a resistance type water level measuring device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, water pressure sensors are usually used to measure groundwater levels. First, the water depth above the water pressure sensor is calculated by the size of the water pressure sensor, and then the depth of the groundwater level is obtained by subtracting the water depth from the location depth of the water pressure sensor. Water pressure sensors usually rely on electrical signals caused by material deformation to determine the size of water pressure. This method requires the water pressure sensor to have high accuracy. During the measurement process, the water pressure sensor is susceptible to vibration, resulting in errors in the measurement results, and the water level measurement accuracy is not high. Summary of the invention
