  • Patent number: 11524571
    Abstract: A liquid level detecting apparatus of a tank for a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a main detecting part that detects the liquid level of the liquid in a tank to output a liquid level detection signal corresponding to the liquid level and an auxiliary floater assembly that has an auxiliary floater provided to float on the liquid surface of the liquid in the tank. A gyro sensor is mounted to the auxiliary floater, and an angle detection signal corresponding to an inclined angle of the tank is output by the gyro sensor. A controller determines a final liquid level value by correcting a liquid level value obtained from the liquid level detection signal based on the angle detection signal.

  • Patent number: 11345514
    Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid storage container which has an inspection window to check the completely filled state of the liquid storage container with a liquid injected thereinto and inhibit occurrence of a detection error of an optical concentration sensor due to light flowing into the liquid storage container through the inspection window. The liquid storage container includes a container main body configured to store the liquid, an inlet configured to inject the liquid into the container main body therethrough, the inspection window installed on the container main body and to confirm the completely filled state of the container main body with the liquid, a concentration sensor configured to detect the concentration of the liquid in the container main body, and a light blocking device installed in the container main body to block light entering through the inspection window.

  • Patent number: 10527481
    Abstract: A multi-probe sender may include a multi-probe having a reed switch arrangement in which reed switches form a level-sensitivity obtaining interval at which a value overlap is prevented in consideration of a resistance-value tolerance range, and having a probe layout forming an intersection interval at which value interference is prevented in consideration of an interval overlap of the reed switches.
