Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid level monitoring, and in particular relates to a high-precision laser measuring device under the dynamic condition of low temperature or normal temperature propellant liquid level. Background technique [0002] Low-temperature or normal-temperature propellants are flammable, explosive, and easily leaking chemical substances, mainly including liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and liquid natural gas. They have the characteristics of low density, low boiling point, and easy vaporization. The measurement conditions are special. It is difficult to measure the level dynamically, and it is especially difficult to measure the liquid level accurately. [0003] At present, the liquid level measurement mainly adopts traditional liquid level measurement methods such as float type and capacitive type, but there are three disadvantages in use: [0004] 1. Single-point measurement is the main method, the equipment...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Single-point measurement is the main method, the equipment is large in size, the number of measurement points is small, and the measurement speed is slow, which cannot meet the requirements of all-round multi-point measurement and visual measurement;

[0005] 2. When the equipment or environment to be measured is vibrated or overloaded, the method of measuring liquid level by float method and capacitance method cannot accurately and timely measure the height of liquid level;

[0006] 3. The capacitive measurement method has direct contact between electricity and low-temperature fuel. Any direct contact between electricity and low-temperature fuel will be a safety hazard and has a high potential risk
