Project Overview
Ultrasonic level gauges have been used in the field of industrial automation due to their non-contact measurement, high accuracy, fast response speed, and easy installation. However, in harsh environments, such as high humidity, high dust, oil mist, steam, etc., traditional ultrasonic liquid level meters are unable to accurately measure liquid level due to interference from mist. In order to solve this problem, anti-fog ultrasonic liquid level gauges specially designed for harsh environments have emerged.
The anti-fog ultrasonic level gauge effectively overcomes the interference of fog and ensures measurement accuracy through unique design and technology. This article will introduce in detail the principles, characteristics, applications and customization solutions of anti-fog ultrasonic level gauges, and provide some customization suggestions.
Principle of anti-fog ultrasonic level meter
The working principle of anti-fog ultrasonic level meter is based on the difference in propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in different media. When the ultrasonic sensor emits a sound wave, the sound wave will be reflected back on the liquid surface or solid surface. After the sensor receives the reflected wave, it calculates the distance of the liquid level based on the sound wave propagation time and sound speed. The anti-fog ultrasonic liquid level meter effectively overcomes the interference of fog through the following technical means:
1. Anti-interference algorithm
The anti-fog ultrasonic liquid level meter adopts the anti-interference algorithm. It can identify interference signals such as fog and filter them, extracting only effective reflection signals to ensure the accuracy of measurement results. Commonly used anti-interference algorithms include:
Adaptive filtering: By analyzing the spectral characteristics of acoustic signals, it identifies and filters out interference signals caused by fog. Multipath elimination: Simultaneously transmitting and receiving sound waves through multiple sets of sensors, and using signal processing technology to eliminate interference signals from different paths. Time domain gating technology: By controlling the emission and reception time of sound waves, only the reflected signal from the liquid surface is received to avoid fog interference.
2. Anti-fog shell
Anti-fog ultrasonic liquid level gauges usually use anti-fog shells. Through structural design and material selection, they can effectively prevent fog from entering the inside of the sensor and protect the sensor. Sensitive components are not affected. Common forms of anti-fog casings include:
Closed casing: A sealed structure is used to prevent fog from entering the interior. Ventilated shell: Through special ventilation design, the mist accumulated in the shell is discharged. Anti-fog film: Cover the sensor surface with a special anti-fog film to prevent fog from entering.
3. Heating device
In some special cases, a heating device can be used to prevent fog from condensing on the sensor surface. By heating the sensor, the temperature of the sensor surface can be kept above the dew point temperature, thus preventing fog condensation.
