Water-level measuring device using gear ratio
Abstract
A water-level measuring device using a gear ratio includes: a water pool filled with a liquid; a plot receiving buoyancy by being floated over a water surface of the liquid filled in the water pool; a cable connected to the plot and extending to the outside of the water pool; a first gear connected with the cable; a second gear connected with the first gear; a weight pendulum connected with the second gear and moving in up and down directions, wherein when a water level of the water pool descends, the weight pendulum ascends due to a weight of the plot, and when the water level of the water pool ascends, the weight pendulum descends due to the buoyancy of the plot.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A water-level measuring device measuring a water level by using a gear ratio, the water-level measuring device comprising:
a water pool filled with a liquid; a plot receiving buoyancy by being floated over a water surface of the liquid filled in the water pool; a cable connected to the plot and extending to the outside of the water pool; a first gear connected with the cable; a second gear connected with the first gear; a weight pendulum connected with the second gear and moving in up and down directions, wherein when the water level of the water pool descends, the weight pendulum ascends due to a weight of the plot, and when the water level of the water pool ascends, the weight pendulum descends due to the buoyancy of the plot.
2 . The water-level measuring device of claim 1 , further comprising
a water-level indicator connected with the first gear and configured to indicate the water-level of the water pool to the outside via rotation of the first gear.
3 . The water-level measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the weight of the plot is greater than a weight of the weight pendulum, and
the weight of the weight pendulum is greater than a weight of the cable.
4 . The water-level measuring device of claim 3 , wherein the weight of the plot is greater than a sum of the weight of the weight pendulum and the weight of the cable.
5 . The water-level measuring device of claim 1 , wherein the water pool includes a support wall which vertically extends and into which the plot is inserted.
6 . The water-level measuring device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a connector connected with the weight pendulum and configured to slidingly move in up and down directions; and a bracket which vertically extends and into which the connector is inserted.
7 . The water-level measuring device of claim 1 , further comprising
a water-surface indicator connected with the weight pendulum and arranged outside the water pool, the water-surface indicator being configured to indicate a level of the water surface of the water pool.
8 . The water-level measuring device of claim 1 , further comprising
a water-level transmitter including a space into which the weight pendulum is inserted and in which the weight pendulum is configured to move, wherein the weight-level transmitter is configured to transmit a signal to the outside according to a movement of the weight pendulum.
9 . The water-level measuring device of claim 8 , wherein the water-level transmitter includes:
a housing including a space into which the weight pendulum is inserted and in which the weight pendulum is configured to move; an input terminal connected with the housing and configured to supply a voltage; and an output terminal connected with the housing and configured to generate a voltage according to the movement of the weight pendulum.
10 . The water-level measuring device of claim 9 , wherein the input terminal includes a battery.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
