Sensor Module - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019283 titled 'Sensor Module
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a sensor module that consists of a housing and a liquid level sensing module. The housing has a passage for liquid to enter the interior and includes an air chamber and an air passage connected to it. The liquid level sensing module is placed inside the housing and has a part positioned within the air passage. This module is designed to detect a characteristic that indicates the level of liquid when the liquid enters the passage and compresses the air in the air passage.
- The sensor module includes a housing with a passage for liquid flow and an air chamber.
- The liquid level sensing module is positioned within the housing and has a part in the air passage.
- The liquid level sensing module detects a characteristic that indicates the level of liquid.
- The characteristic is sensed when the liquid flows into the passage and compresses the air in the air passage.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Liquid level monitoring in tanks, containers, or reservoirs.
- Fuel level sensing in vehicles or machinery.
- Water level detection in plumbing systems or water tanks.
- Industrial process control for monitoring liquid levels.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate and reliable measurement of liquid levels.
- Prevention of overflow or underflow situations.
- Real-time monitoring of liquid levels without direct contact.
- Automation of liquid level control systems.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety by preventing spills or leaks.
- Cost savings by optimizing liquid usage and avoiding waste.
- Enhanced efficiency in industrial processes.
- Remote monitoring capabilities for ease of use and maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
a sensor module comprises a housing and a liquid level sensing module. the housing includes a first passage adapted to permit liquid to flow into an interior of the housing. the first passage defines an air chamber and an air passage in communication with the air chamber. the liquid level sensing module is arranged in the interior of the housing, and includes at least a first part positioned within the air passage. the liquid level sensing module is adapted to sense a characteristic indicative of a liquid level when the liquid flows into the first passage and compresses air in the air passage.
