Fill-level measuring device
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fill-level measuring device for determining the fill level in a container. The device comprises: a radar module for determining a distance to the surface of the filling material; a 3D camera for capturing at least one region of the surface of the filling material; and an evaluation circuit that is designed to measure a maximum distance and a minimum distance from the captured distance values and to determine the fill level on the basis of the distance, providing that the distance is smaller than the maximum distance value and greater than the minimum distance value. As a result of the redundancy or the verification provided by the 3D camera of the distance calculated by the radar module, the fill-level measuring device according to the invention is therefore more reliable with regard to the miscalculation of an incorrect fill level.
