Abstract
A water-level measuring device using a gear ratio includes: a water tank filled with water; a float receiving buoyancy by being floated over a water surface of the water filled in the water tank; a cable connected to the float and extending to the outside of the water tank; 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 tank descends, the weight pendulum ascends due to a weight of the float, and when the water level of the water tank ascends, the weight pendulum descends due to the buoyancy of the float.
Claims2
A water-level measuring device measuring a water level by using a gear ratio, the water-level measuring device comprising:
- a water tank filled with a water;
- a float receiving buoyancy by being floated over a water surface of the water filled in the water tank;
- a cable connected to the float and extending to the outside of the water tank;
- 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;
- and
- a water-level transmitter configured to transmit a signal according to a movement of the weight pendulum,
- wherein when the water level of the water tank descends, the weight pendulum ascends due to a weight of the float, and when the water level of the water tank ascends, the weight pendulum descends due to the buoyancy of the float,
- 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.
