Abstract:
An electronics insert arrangement for a measuring device includes an electronics insert and an electronics module. The electronics insert includes a first attachment device and a first interface. The electronics module includes a second attachment device and a second interface. For coupling the electronics module to the electronics insert, the first attachment device and the second attachment device can be brought to engage each other such that a space between the first interface and the second interface remains essentially constant when the electronics insert moves. The electronics insert is equipped to carry out processes of a first functionality, and the electronics module is equipped to carry out processes of a second functionality.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a level meter with two oscillating bodies (2, 3) positioned one inside the other. An equalizing body (5) is positioned in the interior (32) of the inside oscillating body (2). The equalizing body (5) exhibits a section (52) that is at least in part elastic, such that the outer diameter (ds*) of the elastic section in relaxed condition is greater than the inner diameter (dgi) of the interior (32). This provides a good coupling and, at the same time, protection against displacement for the equalizing body (5) relative to the inside oscillating body (3). For supplemental adjustment of the equalizing body (5), the latter is provided with an outside thread (51), which engages with an inside thread (33) belonging to the interior (32). A slot (52) for adjusting the equalizing body (5) is accessible via an access opening (6); the access hole (6) runs in the rearward direction, through the individual components of the level meter (1), including the drive and/or receiving device (7).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a level meter (1) with an outer oscillating body (3) and an inner oscillating body (4), which bodies are coaxially positioned relative to a longitudinal axis (X), with a drive and reception device (7) for exciting an oscillation in the oscillating bodies or for detecting an oscillation in the oscillating bodies, with a diaphragm (61) for elastically coupling one of the oscillating bodies (3), and with a clamping device (8) for clamping the drive and/or reception device (7) against the oscillating bodies. The level meter [is advantageously characterized] by the diaphragm (61), which runs in a lateral direction relative to the longitudinal axis (X) of the outer oscillating body (3) and on the outside passes into a transitional element (5, 51), said transitional element (5) being positioned between the drive and/or reception device and the inner oscillating body for the purpose of transmitting the oscillations between the drive and/or reception device and the inner oscillating body, and said transitional element (5) running in part, with one wall (54), in a lateral direction adjacent to the diaphragm (61); the clamping device, which clamps the diaphragm (61) and the drive and/or reception device in such a way that the drive and/or reception device is clamped against the transitional element; and a gap(s) between the adjacent walls (63, 54) of the diaphragm (61) and of the transitional element (51). The design and dimensions of the gap permit the free oscillation of the diaphragm vis-a-vis the transitional element. At the same time, when strong lateral displacing forces are exerted on the outer oscillating body, the diaphragm will come up against the adjacent wall due to the smaller dimensions of the gap, with the result that a plastic deformation of the diaphragm is avoided. Also prevented is the disengagement of the drive and/or reception device.
