Liquid Level Measurement Circuit for Viscous Media

The patent replaces the mechanical buoy system with an electrical probe system. Instead of using a mechanical buoy that physically moves with the liquid level and can stick to viscous liquids, the invention uses a probe with electrodes that detect liquid level through electrical conductivity changes. This substitution eliminates mechanical contact with viscous liquids, thereby maintaining measurement precision without increasing structural complexity.

The patent introduces the measurement liquid itself as an intermediary medium for detection. The conductive measurement liquid serves as the mediator between the probe electrodes and the detection system. By using the liquid's inherent electrical conductivity properties as the detection mechanism, the system avoids direct mechanical interaction that causes sticking, thus resolving the contradiction between simple structure and accurate measurement.

The patent implements an automatic monitoring and alert system that self-monitors liquid levels and automatically generates alerts when the liquid level is low. The system includes a probe that continuously monitors, a control unit that processes the signals, and an alert mechanism that notifies operators. This automated self-service monitoring eliminates manual checking, ensures accurate detection, and improves operational efficiency without requiring complex manual intervention procedures.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the probe continuously monitors liquid level and provides real-time feedback to the control unit. When the liquid level drops below a threshold, the system generates an alert signal. This closed-loop feedback system ensures timely detection and response, improving productivity by preventing operational errors due to incorrect liquid level detection.
