Abstract

A photoelectric-type continuous liquid level measurement method is applied to a photoelectric-type continuous liquid level measurement device which comprises at least one sensor module formed by cascading a plurality of sensors, and comprises: driving the sensors one by one from bottom to top to take a liquid level measurement; after detecting the light intensity of a detection light returned from the position where the sensors are located, the sensors which are currently in a driving state conducting analog-to-digital conversion on a voltage value corresponding to the detected light intensity to obtain current analog-to-digital conversion data; according to the correlation between a preset liquid level and the analog-to-digital conversion data, determining the liquid level of the position where the sensors are located; and summarizing to a transmitter module the liquid level measured by each of the sensors to obtain the total liquid level of a currently measured.
