以下內容將詳細敘述上述之步驟S02及步驟S04;請再次參考圖1及圖2a。The above steps S02 and S04 will be described in detail below; please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2a again.

當該料位感測器10位於該第一位置(即如圖2a所示)時,該料位感測器10的該探棒14的一部分設置位於該桶槽20之該未填充區22內的長度係為一第一長度dair,且該料位感測器10的該探棒14的另一部分設置於該桶槽20之該填充區24內的長度係為一第二長度dm。When the level sensor 10 is in the first position (ie, as shown in FIG. 2a), a portion of the probe 14 of the level sensor 10 is disposed within the unfilled area 22 of the tank 20. The length is a first length dair, and another portion of the probe 14 of the level sensor 10 is disposed in the filling region 24 of the tub 20 to have a second length dm.

該第一特徵值係為一第一走時差值t1;該第一走時差值t1等於一第一時間t01加上一第二時間t02;該第一時間t01等於兩倍的該第一長度dair除以一空氣波速Vair;該第二時間t02等於兩倍的該第二長度dm除以一物料波速Vm。The first characteristic value is a first travel time difference t1; the first travel time difference t1 is equal to a first time t01 plus a second time t02; the first time t01 is equal to twice the first time The length dair is divided by an air wave velocity Vair; the second time t02 is equal to twice the second length dm divided by a material wave velocity Vm.

上述內容可以以下列公式表達:The above can be expressed in the following formula:

t1 = t01 + t02 = ( 2 * dair / Vair ) + ( 2 * dm / Vm )T1 = t01 + t02 = ( 2 * dair / Vair ) + ( 2 * dm / Vm )

以下內容將詳細敘述上述之步驟S06及步驟S08;請再次參考圖1及圖2b。一第三長度d3等於該第一長度dair加上該垂直距離Hair;一第四長度d4等於該第二長度dm減掉該垂直距離Hm(亦即,該第二長度dm等於該第四長度d4加上該垂直距離Hm)。The above steps S06 and S08 will be described in detail below; please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2b again. a third length d3 is equal to the first length dair plus the vertical distance Hair; a fourth length d4 is equal to the second length dm minus the vertical distance Hm (that is, the second length dm is equal to the fourth length d4 Add this vertical distance Hm).

該第二特徵值係為一第二走時差值t2;該第二走時差值t2等於一第三時間t03加上一第四時間t04;該第三時間t03等於兩倍的該第三長度d3除以該空氣波速Vair;該第四時間t04等於兩倍的該第四長度d4除以該物料波速Vm。The second characteristic value is a second travel time difference t2; the second travel time difference t2 is equal to a third time t03 plus a fourth time t04; the third time t03 is equal to twice the third time The length d3 is divided by the air wave velocity Vair; the fourth time t04 is equal to twice the fourth length d4 divided by the material wave velocity Vm.

上述內容可以以下列公式表達:The above can be expressed in the following formula:

t2 = t03 + t04 = ( 2 * d3 / Vair ) + ( 2 * d4 / Vm ) = [ 2 * ( dair + Hair ) / Vair ] + [ 2 * (dm - Hm ) / Vm ]T2 = t03 + t04 = ( 2 * d3 / Vair ) + ( 2 * d4 / Vm ) = [ 2 * ( dair + Hair ) / Vair ] + [ 2 * (dm - Hm ) / Vm ]

其中,該垂直距離Hair即等於該垂直距離Hm。Wherein, the vertical distance Hair is equal to the vertical distance Hm.

以下內容將詳細敘述上述之步驟S10;該第一特徵值(即該第一走時差值t1)減去該第二特徵值(即該第二走時差值t2)等於該特徵值變化量;依據上述該些公式,該特徵值變化量等於負的兩倍的該垂直距離Hair除以該空氣波速Vair,再加上兩倍的該垂直距離Hm除以該物料波速Vm。The following step S10 will be described in detail; the first feature value (ie, the first travel time difference t1) minus the second feature value (ie, the second travel time difference t2) is equal to the eigenvalue change amount. According to the above formulas, the vertical distance Hair equal to twice the negative value is divided by the air wave velocity Vair, and twice the vertical distance Hm is divided by the material wave velocity Vm.

上述內容可以以下列公式表達:The above can be expressed in the following formula:

該特徵值變化量 = t1 - t2 = ( - 2 * Hair / Vair ) + ( 2 * Hm / Vm )The eigenvalue change amount = t1 - t2 = ( - 2 * Hair / Vair ) + ( 2 * Hm / Vm )

請參考圖3,其係為該第一走時差值及該第二走時差值之一具體實施例波形圖;並請圖時參考圖2a及圖2b。如圖3所示,在一具體實施例,因為該空氣波速Vair會大於該物料波速Vm,所以該第二走時差值t2將會短於該第一走時差值t1;亦即,該第一走時差值t1長於該第二走時差值t2。Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a waveform diagram of a specific embodiment of the first travel time difference and the second travel time difference; and FIG. 2 a and FIG. 2 b . As shown in FIG. 3, in a specific embodiment, since the air wave velocity Vair is greater than the material wave velocity Vm, the second travel time difference t2 will be shorter than the first travel time difference t1; that is, the The first travel time difference t1 is longer than the second travel time difference t2.

以下內容將詳細敘述上述之步驟S12;計算該特徵值變化量以得到該物料30的介電系數ε。其中,該空氣波速Vair係為一常數c;該介電系數ε的平方根係為一平方根值√ε;該物料波速Vm等於該常數c除以該平方根值√ε。The above step S12 will be described in detail; the variation of the characteristic value is calculated to obtain the dielectric coefficient ε of the material 30. Wherein, the air wave velocity Vair is a constant c; the square root of the dielectric coefficient ε is a square root value √ ε; the material wave velocity Vm is equal to the constant c divided by the square root value √ ε.

上述內容可以以下列公式表達:The above can be expressed in the following formula:

Vm = c / √εVm = c / √ε

因此,該特徵值變化量 = t1 - t2 = ( - 2 * Hair / Vair ) + ( 2 * Hm / Vm ) = ( - 2 * Hair / c ) + [ 2 * Hm / ( c / √ε ) ] = ( - 2 * Hair / c ) + ( √ε * 2 * Hm / c ) = ( - 2 * Hair / c ) + ( √ε * 2 * Hair / c ) = 2 * Hair * ( √ε – 1 ) / cTherefore, the eigenvalue change amount = t1 - t2 = ( - 2 * Hair / Vair ) + ( 2 * Hm / Vm ) = ( - 2 * Hair / c ) + [ 2 * Hm / ( c / √ ε ) ] = ( - 2 * Hair / c ) + ( √ε * 2 * Hm / c ) = ( - 2 * Hair / c ) + ( √ε * 2 * Hair / c ) = 2 * Hair * ( √ε – 1 ) / c

因此,該特徵值變化量 * c / ( 2 * Hair ) = √ε – 1Therefore, the eigenvalue change amount * c / ( 2 * Hair ) = √ ε – 1

[該特徵值變化量 * c / ( 2 * Hair )] + 1 = √ε[The eigenvalue change amount * c / ( 2 * Hair )] + 1 = √ε

{[該特徵值變化量 * c / ( 2 * Hair )] + 1}2 = ε{[The eigenvalue change * c / ( 2 * Hair )] + 1}2 = ε

如前所述,該第一特徵值(即該第一走時差值t1)減去該第二特徵值(即該第二走時差值t2)等於該特徵值變化量,而該第一走時差值t1與該第二走時差值t2可由該料位感測器10得知,因此可得知該特徵值變化量。該常數c及該垂直距離Hair為已知;因此,藉由上述公式可得到該介電系數ε。As described above, the first feature value (ie, the first travel time difference t1) minus the second feature value (ie, the second travel time difference t2) is equal to the feature value change amount, and the first The travel time difference t1 and the second travel time difference t2 can be known by the level sensor 10, so that the characteristic value change amount can be known. The constant c and the vertical distance Hair are known; therefore, the dielectric coefficient ε can be obtained by the above formula.

藉由本發明之該物料30的該介電系數ε的量測方法得到該介電系數ε之後,即可利用該介電系數ε得到該物料30的深度;茲詳述如下。After the dielectric coefficient ε is obtained by the method for measuring the dielectric coefficient ε of the material 30 of the present invention, the depth of the material 30 can be obtained by using the dielectric coefficient ε;

請參考圖4a,其係為物料的深度的量測方法之一部分示意圖;並請同時參考圖4b,其係為物料的深度的量測方法之另一部分示意圖。Lm表示該物料30的深度;Lt表示該探棒14的探棒長度(亦即,該桶槽20的深度);t3表示第三走時差值;t4表示第四走時差值;因此,可得到下列公式。Please refer to FIG. 4a, which is a schematic diagram of one part of the measuring method of the depth of the material; and also refers to FIG. 4b, which is another part of the measuring method of the depth of the material. Lm represents the depth of the material 30; Lt represents the length of the probe of the probe 14 (i.e., the depth of the tank 20); t3 represents the third travel time difference; t4 represents the fourth travel time difference; The following formula is available.

t3 = [ 2 * ( Lt - Lm ) / Vair ] + ( 2 * Lm / Vm )T3 = [ 2 * ( Lt - Lm ) / Vair ] + ( 2 * Lm / Vm )

t4 = 2 * Lt / VairT4 = 2 * Lt / Vair

Vair = cVair = c

Vm = c / √εVm = c / √ε

t3 – t4 = ( - 2 * Lm / c ) + [ 2 * Lm / ( c / √ε ) ] = ( - 2 * Lm / c ) + ( 2 * Lm * √ε / c ) = 2 * Lm * ( √ε – 1 ) / cT3 – t4 = ( - 2 * Lm / c ) + [ 2 * Lm / ( c / √ ε ) ] = ( - 2 * Lm / c ) + ( 2 * Lm * √ ε / c ) = 2 * Lm * ( √ ε – 1 ) / c

由於該第三走時差值t3、該第四走時差值t4、該介電系數ε及該常數c為已知;因此,藉由上述公式可得到該物料30的深度Lm。Since the third travel time difference t3, the fourth travel time difference t4, the dielectric constant ε, and the constant c are known; therefore, the depth Lm of the material 30 can be obtained by the above formula.

再者,為增加該料位感測器10的可用性,該料位感測器10更包含一擴時電路(未顯示於圖2a、圖2b、圖4a及圖4b,且設置於該料位感測電路12之內);該擴時電路將上述之該特徵值變化量(即,t1 - t2,或是t3 – t4)乘以一增益值,使得該特徵值變化量的單位從微秒放大至毫秒;藉此,增加該料位感測器10的可用性。Moreover, in order to increase the usability of the level sensor 10, the level sensor 10 further includes a time-expanding circuit (not shown in FIG. 2a, FIG. 2b, FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b, and is disposed at the material level. The time-stamping circuit multiplies the above-mentioned eigenvalue change amount (ie, t1 - t2, or t3 - t4) by a gain value such that the unit of the eigenvalue change amount is from microseconds Zooming in to milliseconds; thereby increasing the usability of the level sensor 10.

本發明之功效在於量測並計算該物料30的介電系數ε以提高該料位感測器10的精確度。The effect of the present invention is to measure and calculate the dielectric coefficient ε of the material 30 to increase the accuracy of the level sensor 10.
