Assignee: VEGA GRIESHABER
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A radar sensor for measuring a fill level and/or a point level of a product in a container, the radar sensor comprising:
a sensor configured to emit and to receive a radar signal;
evaluation circuitry configured to determine, based on the radar signal, a measurement signal correlating with the fill level and/or the point level;
a housing having at least one housing region, which is configured
to be arranged opposite a container wall of the container for measuring the fill level and/or the point level, and
such that the radar signal can be transmitted through the housing region;

an adhesive surface including an adhesive material, which is configured for attaching the radar sensor to the container wall of the container, the adhesive surface being disposed on an outside of the housing at least along a portion of an outer circumference of the housing region; and
a sealing surface including a sealing material, the sealing surface being configured to at least partially seal the housing region when the radar sensor is attached to the container wall, wherein the sealing surface is disposed on the outside of the housing at least along a portion of the outer circumference of the housing region,
wherein the sensor is further configured to emit and to receive the radar signal through the housing region,
wherein the radar sensor is configured to be attached to the outside of the container wall of the container, such that the radar signal emitted by the radar sensor is transmitted from the outside of the container into the container through the container wall,
wherein the adhesive surface and the sealing surface are configured separately,
wherein the adhesive surface extends around the sealing surface along an outer circumference,
wherein the sealing surface fills an area between the adhesive surface, the housing region facing the container, and the container wall facing the radar sensor, such that the area between the housing region and the container wall is sealed.
