Abstract
The present invention discloses a sensing device, wherein a hemispherical container containing a liquid dielectric, and the hemispherical container has more than two pairs of electrodes, and the liquid dielectric can trigger the conduction states of the electrodes. A corrosion-resistant material envelops the container. A precision valve is arranged in the container and used to adjust the level of the liquid dielectric and the sensitivity of the sensing device. A buffer necking part is also arranged in the container and used to prevent from non-expected vibration-induced contact between the electrodes and the liquid dielectric. A leakage-proof detection device envelops the hemispherical container, the liquid dielectric, the precision valve, and the buffer necking part and functions to prevent from the leakage of the liquid dielectric. Thus, the present invention can provide an adjustable multi-directional tilt-sensing device for level control.
