Abstract
A container level sensor assembly for sensing level of liquid remaining in a container.
Claims20
A container level sensor assembly comprising:
- a level sensor for measuring a level of a liquid in a container;
- a contact layer between a sensing surface of the level sensor and the container for maintaining a close contact between the level sensor and the container;
- a biasing member for biasing the level sensor towards the container;
- a container ring configured to accommodate the level sensor, the container ring also being configured to support a base of the container;
- the container ring having a magnetic member for bringing the container ring into close contact with the base of the container;
- a controller including a processor for receiving measurement data from the level sensor and determining a remaining availability of liquid in the container based on the measured level of the liquid;
- and
- a display device for displaying the determined remaining availability of liquid in the container.
