Title:
液面検知装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4677076
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An ALC circuit (27) is turned on (S1), a nozzle (5) is shifted to a sampling position (S2), and after the ALC circuit (27) has been turned off (S3), the nozzle (5) is allowed to start discharging air from its tip (S4). While the nozzle (5) is being lowered, the inner pressure of the nozzle (5) is monitored (S5, S6), and upon detection of an increase in the pressure, the discharging process of air and the nozzle lowering process are stopped (S7), while the monitoring of the magnitude of the pressure is continued (S8). When the magnitude of the pressure is being maintained within a permissible range of the change for a predetermined time, it is judged that the tip of the nozzle (5) has come into contact with the true liquid level, and after a suction operation of a sample (S9), the nozzle (5) is raised (S10). When the magnitude of the pressure has dropped below the permissible range of the change within the predetermined time, it is judged that the tip of the nozzle (5) has not come into contact with the true liquid level, the nozzle (5) is again lowered (S11).
