[0002] A level collector is a device used to monitor and control the level of solid materials (such as powders, granules, blocks) and certain liquids in storage tanks, silos or containers. Level collectors are widely used in many fields such as industrial production, warehousing logistics, resource management, etc. to ensure timely replenishment of materials, prevent overflow, optimize inventory management and improve production efficiency. Level collectors are usually divided into contact level sensors and non-contact level sensors. In some dusty environments and high-precision occasions, radar is usually used for level collection. When the radar wave encounters the surface of the material in the container, part of the energy will be reflected back. The reflected microwave pulse is captured by the antenna of the same radar level meter or a special receiver. The electronic components measure the time delay from the transmission of the pulse to the reception of the echo. By calculating this time delay, the distance from the radar antenna to the surface of the material can be obtained, thereby calculating the actual height or volume of the material.
