REMAINING FUEL INDICATING DEVICE OF A VEHICLE AND A CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, CAPABLE OF ACCURATELY MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF FUEL ON A SLOPE

摘要

PURPOSE: A remaining fuel indicating device of a vehicle and a control method thereof are provided to prevent the malfunction through the indicating of the amount of fuel according to the change of the resistance by a floating member and to reduce the material cost and the assembling cost through the removing of separate lead switch assembly.;CONSTITUTION: A remaining fuel indicating device of a vehicle comprise a floating member(20), a guide(300), a PCB(400), and a MICOM. The floating member floats according to the amount of fuel and comprises a magnet(31). The guide is formed so that a contact plate(40) surrounding a magnet(30) moves according to the location of the floating member. A PCB pattern is formed so that the contact plate in the guide is connected to a circuit, and the PCB connects to the pattern of the contact plate according to the location of the floating member. The PCB transfers the resistance of the connected pattern location to a control panel(500) with one cable(402). The MICOM computes the resistance which is received from the control and is read from an analog/digital converter, and indicates it on the control panel.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
