Vehicle Fuel Tank Level Monitoring

With the continuous development of the automobile industry, the measurement of the liquid level of the automobile fuel tank has become more and more important. The monitoring, display and early warning of the fuel level at any time and anywhere are necessary conditions to ensure the normal driving of the vehicle. Secondly, the leakage of the fuel tank will also cause extreme Large energy and economic waste. In severe cases, vicious events such as vehicle breakdowns and even fuel tank explosions will occur. With advanced automotive fuel tank Level Measurement technology, the automotive industry can reach a new level.

The fuel consumption monitoring system is based on the new fuel level sensor, it can realize the requirement of real-time and effective monitoring of the fuel volume in the fuel tank of the car to which it belongs, effectively prevent vehicle fuel loss events, and can monitor the current fuel volume and consumption of the vehicle in real time. The development and application of oil level sensors play an important role in ensuring the safety of vehicles, reducing fuel consumption, and realizing modernization, informatization and intelligence of vehicle management.

Measurement methods

There are different methods for monitoring the fuel level of the automobile fuel tank, of which two are the most used:

Use capacitive sensors:

The Capacitive Oil Level Sensor uses the capacitance formed between the probe and the container to change linearly with the liquid level, and converts the change of the liquid level into a linear output, which can directly display the liquid level or send it directly to the remote monitoring system. The same sensor can change the measuring medium or change the installation environment at any time, and can automatically adapt and accurately measure without re-calibration, and is not affected by the change of dielectric constant and temperature.

Float sensor (reed switch):

Now the automatic fuel gauge sensors of automobiles belong to this type; the working principle is to use the buoyancy of the liquid to the magnetic float, and the reed of the float level gauge is magnetically attracted to change the position of the liquid level into an electrical signal. The reed switch is connected in sections, and the length of each section is the test accuracy of the level gauge. It is durable but the accuracy and stability are slightly worse than that of the capacitive type, and the price is cheaper.

Extended use of oil level monitoring:

With the development of science and technology and the improvement of intelligence of all kinds of sensor equipment, especially the general application of the Internet of Things, the simple oil level monitoring cannot meet the requirements of modern society. The oil Level Sensor and GPS, fuel consumption monitoring and other equipment are used together, from The single function of oil level monitoring is developed to a higher level such as systematization, networking and intelligence, which can realize the monitoring of oil products and fuel consumption, and the monitoring of vehicle driving regulations. This is the development direction of oil level monitoring.
