A kind of micro flow sensor
Technical field
The present invention relates to measure the device of flow, belong to the surveying instrument field of instrumentation technology.
Background technology
The progress of MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) (MEMS) technology and biochip technology that contemporary biotechnology causes after entering the seventies in 20th century, propose how under miniature scale, to carry out the problem that flow is accurately measured, particularly along with minute vehicle in recent years, developing rapidly of fluid motion MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) such as miniature underwater robot and miniature medical robot, traditional universal flow sensor such as differential pressure flow sensor, hot blast line formula flow sensor, volumetric flow sensor, ultrasonic flow sensor, turbine flow transducer, coriolis flow sensor and fluid oscillation flow sensor etc. are measured because size can't be applied to the flow velocity (amount) of MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) more greatly.The micro flow sensor that solves MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) now mainly is miniature hot-wire flow sensor, but because hot-wire transducer requires sensor to be heated to uniform temperature, can destroy the biochemical stability of fluid like this, can't satisfy the flow measurement of medical science and chemistry.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of simple in structurely, the pressure loss is little, the harmless and high micro flow sensor of measuring accuracy of convection cell biochemical stability.
Micro flow sensor of the present invention is by sensing element, and detecting element two parts are formed, and said sensing element is the thin bar of metal material, and its cross section is a rectangle, and the length of side is 10 μ m to 1mm, highly is between the 500 μ m to 100mm.Said detecting element is placed in an end of said sensing element, and the electric signal that detecting element records is drawn by extension line.Said detecting element can be the compliance detecting element, piezoelectric detection element, capacitive detection element, inductive detecting element, magnetic detection element.Cover coatings after detecting element is placed on the sensing element and carry out insulation processing.
