  • Patent number: 4499765
    Abstract: A device for the determination of the charging level in a container has a vibrator on which two torsional vibrators (10, 12) of the same resonance frequency vibrate in an opposite way. The vibration elements (10, 12) are arranged coaxially and have a common center of rotation (20) which is located in the center of a diaphragm (14) serving as a return spring for the outer element (10). The inner element (12) is designed in the shape of a rod and has a tapering (17) in the area of the center of rotation (20) acting as a return spring. Owing to the design according to the invention, a charging level determination is possible with goods charged of a high and of a low density whereby the detection sensitivity is almost independent of the clamping conditions of the vibrator.
