  • Publication number: 20230067613
    Abstract: The technical result consists in increased accuracy of density measurements of a liquid using a simplified sensor configuration. The sensor for a vibration densimeter comprises a hollow cylindrical body on one end face of which is hermetically attached a metal membrane. To the inner side of the membrane is attached a piezoelectric element, and to the outer side of the membrane is attached a mechanical vibration transducer, which is made in the form of a tuning fork, to which a hollow cylindrical resonator is attached in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the base of the tuning fork is attached to the membrane, and the teeth of the tuning fork are attached to an end face of the hollow cylindrical resonator.

  • Patent number: 6983654
    Abstract: The invention provides a liquid level detector using parameter measurements of sound waves passing along the waveguide and reflected from the surface of the liquid. The detector contains a membrane acoustical-electrical transducer in the case and the acoustic waveguide with reflectors immersed in liquid. The acoustic waveguide is a tube or several tubes and is connected to the detector case by a sleeve coupling. Inside the sleeve coupling is an acoustic matching unit between the membrane of the acoustical-electrical transducer and the inlet of the waveguide with the cavity connected with the cavity of the waveguide by means of the diaphragm with the channel. The case of the acoustical-electrical transducer is connected to the detector case through a damping element providing acoustic decoupling between the acoustical-electrical transducer and the main case of the detector. The end of the acoustic waveguide may be connected to a ?-shaped or T-shaped intermediate waveguide.
