Title:
LIQUID CHARACTERISTIC ANALYZING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/078028
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a liquid analysis apparatus (100), whereby wireless communication is reliably performed without having electromagnetic wave signals attenuated in a liquid, and the characteristics of the liquid can be simply and rapidly analyzed. The liquid analysis apparatus (100) that analyzes the characteristics of the liquid in a container (B) is provided with: a sensor section (1), which detects the characteristics of the liquid by bringing the sensor surfaces (1c, 1d) into contact with the liquid, and which outputs electrical signals of the values that correspond to the detected values; a transmitting section (2), which converts the electrical signals into the electromagnetic wave signals, and which wirelessly outputs the electromagnetic wave signals; and a housing body (10), which has a structure that houses the sensor section (1) and the transmitting section (2) inside with the sensor surfaces (1c, 1d) exposed therefrom and prevents the liquid from entering inside, and which is immersed in the liquid by being disposed in the container (B). The liquid analysis apparatus is also provided with a closely connecting means (30), which substantially connects closely the electromagnetic wave signal passing portion (11) of the housing body (10) to the inner wall of the container (B).
