Capacitive toner level sensor

The application relates to a capacitive toner level sensor. A toner container including a first electrode disposed within the toner container, a second electrode electrically connected to the first electrode and disposed within the toner container, and a sense electrode disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The sense electrode and the first electrode form a first capacitorhaving a first capacitance that changes in response to a change in toner amount existing therebetween. The sense electrode and the second electrode form a second capacitor having a second capacitancethat changes in response to a change in toner amount existing therebetween. 本申请涉及电容式调色剂水平传感器。一种调色剂容器，其包括设置在调色剂容器内的第一电极、电耦合到第一电极并且设置在调色剂容器内的第二电极和设置在第一电极和第二电极之间的感测电极。感测电极和第一电极形成具有响应于在感测电极和第一电极之间存在的调色剂量的变化而变化的第一电容的第一电容器。感测电极和第二电极形成具有响应于在感测电极和第二电极之间存在的调色剂量的变化而变化的第二电容的第二电容器。
