ABSTRACT:
The device for determining and/or monitoring a predetermined filling level in a container has two oscillatory rods secured with spacing adjacent one another on a diaphragm the edge of which is connected to a screw-in part. By means of the screw-in part the device is so secured in a screw-threaded aperture of the container wall at the height of the filling level to be detected that the oscillatory rods project into the container. At the side of the diaphragm remote from the oscillatory rods a bridging member is held spaced from the diaphragm by flexurally elastic rod-shaped supports. Each of the rod shaped supports is rigidly connected at one end to an oscillatory rod. Between the bridging member and the diaphragm there is held, with preloading of the diaphragm, a transducer column comprising in a stack a piezoelectric excitation transducer and a piezoelectric reception transducer. The piezoelectric transducers are connected to one another via an amplifier in a self-excitation circuit so that the mechanical oscillatory system is excited with its natural resonance frequency. An evaluation circuit responds to changes in frequency of the oscillations and initiates indicating and/or switching operations in accordance with such frequency changes.
