Abstract

The invention relates to a slide capacitance induced water level and water flow accurate detection method and a detection device. The device comprises an induction panel and a circuit structure, wherein the induction panel comprises an insulation housing, a flexible PCB (Printed Circuit Board), a TOUCH chip, and a water level and water flow capacitance induction disc; the insulation housing is arranged vertically upward, wherein the flexible PCB is tightly adhered to the inner wall of the insulation housing; the TOUCH chip is arranged on the inner wall of the insulation housing; and the water level and water flow capacitance induction disc is sealed in the insulation housing, wherein the TOUCH chip continuously emits alternating-current pulse signals to measure change in capacitance on the induction disc and monitor whether water approaches the water level and water flow capacitance induction disc. The slide capacitance induced water level and water flow accurate detection device provided by the invention has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, low failure rate, high safety coefficient and the like; the water level and water flow capacitance induction disc detects corresponding changes of water level and water flow, and then a singlechip drives to display to indicate current state of water level and water flow, so that a consumer can clearly know the current water level and water flow of a water tank during the process of using a similar product with a water filling tank.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water level detection method and a detection device, in particular to a sliding capacitance sensing water level detection method and a detection device. Background technique [0002] Currently, small household appliances, such as coffee machines and water dispensers, are generally equipped with water level detection devices. In the field of small household appliances, due to cost requirements, RC step-down is generally used to supply power to small home appliances, and the use of RC step-down power supply does not isolate the subsequent stage. And when the latter stage is not isolated, if the water level is directly detected, there will be a danger of electric leakage to the human body. [0003] Most of the existing water level detection devices use some mechanical magnetic switches, and it is very troublesome to install a buoy inside the water tank. An electromagnet induction reed switch is embedded inside the buoy to dete...
