Electronic device for detecting a magnetic field indicating the gas level in stationary tank and wireless data sending
First Claim
1. An electronic device for the detection of a gas level contained in a tank, the electronic device comprising:
- a magnetic field electronic sensor for measuring an at least two dimensional direction of a magnetic field produced by a magnetic element found in an inner part of the tank, the electronic sensor capable of correcting errors caused by the position of the magnetic field;
a memory wherein measurements measured by the sensor are stored;
a microprocessor which converts the measurements stored in the memory into a numerical value;
a wireless transmission module which receives the numerical value and transmits a signal with the numerical value toa remote interface for remote monitoring of the gas level in the tank and controlling the electronic device; and
at least one battery for the autonomous functioning of the electronic device.

Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to a novel electronic device which detects the load level of gas in liquid state contained in tanks, through the magnetic field generated by the magnets used in floater mechanical systems which are incorporated into the containers, sending information by a remote interface, which communicates via the internet, or through a local network, to any computer or smart device. The versatility of the disclosed device, allows it to be adapted into any type of tank which uses the floating mechanical system with a magnet, being the ideal solution for monitoring gas consumption in places where access to the gas container is difficult or risky.
