FUEL TANK OF A VEHICLE CONTAINING ONE CAPACITIVE INTERFACE LEVEL SENSOR Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B60K15/03 B65D90/48 G01F23/26 

FIELD: measuring.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for measuring the levels of interfaces between media in various industries. The vehicle fuel tank contains a capacitive interface level sensor. The sensor contains a sensitive element, which is a housing for electrodes, which is a metal profile formed by connecting several tubes to each other, containing a stiffening element connecting the adjoining said profile tubes; wherein each profile tube contains an air vent placed coaxially with said corresponding air vent on the side surface mentioned collar part. At the same time, the body for electrodes contains electrodes rigidly fixed in each of the profile tubes, which are metal tubes with the same linear capacity, but differing in length, and the main electrode is made along the length equal to the length of the body for the electrodes, and each compensation electrode is made along the length less than the length of the main electrode.

EFFECT: technical result is an increase in the reliability and manufacturability of the design, and, as a result, an increase in the accuracy of measurements of the level of the interface between media.
