Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a small-sized, inexpensive pressure detecting device by providing a pressure detection electrode fixed to a diaphragm and a counter electrode made of metallic foil of a printed board, and detecting a signal generated owing to the displacement of both electrodes and measuring pressure. CONSTITUTION:A pressure detecting device provided in a small-sized instrument 1 consists of the pressure detection electrode 6 fixed to the diaphragm 4, counter electrode 8 composed of part of the metallic foil pattern of the printed board 7, and pressure detecting circuit 9 composed of an oscillation circuit, frequency discriminator, etc. Then when the gas pressure of the gas atmosphere 2 in the instrument 1 varies, the diaphragm 4 is displaced and the pressure detection electrode 6 and counter electrode 8 shift in relative position to cause variation in the electrostatic capacity value between both electrodes 6 and 8, so the variation value of the frequency of the pressure detecting circuit 9 is detected to measure the pressure. Thus, the small-sized, compact, and inexpensive pressure detecting device is obtained.

Structure of the conventional example and its problems In the conventional pressure gauge, the diaphragm causes a displacement due to the pressure difference between the two sides of the diaphragm, and the pressure is read by converting the amount of displacement into an electric signal or an optical signal. In addition, gas was sealed in the bellows, and a shift occurred depending on the pressure of the gas, and the pressure was read by converting the pointer into rotational motion depending on the amount of shift. The former is suitable for low pressure measurements, and the latter is suitable for high pressure measurements. However, in the latter case, the structure is generally large, and in the former case, the coil for extracting electrical signals, a relatively large counter electrode, and the optical structure for extracting optical signals are relatively large, and the space is narrow. There was a problem in that the structure could not be made compact in order to measure pressure using it.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS In the configuration of the invention, when the diaphragm 4 shifts due to fluctuations in the gas pressure of the gas atmosphere 2, the pressure detection electrode 6 fixed to the diaphragm 4 shifts. on the other hand,
There is a change in the relative position of the opposing 'CE' poles 8, which are formed on the printed circuit board 7 and are fixed, so that both of them 6
This causes a change in the capacitance value formed by oscillator 1 and 8.
The oscillation frequency of 0 changes. In this system, a frequency change value is detected by a frequency discriminator 11, passed through an amplifier 12, and displayed on a display 13. The indicated value on the display 13 is easy to read,
To make it linear, change amount of pressure and frequency discriminator 11
Since the correlation with the output of amplifier 1 is not necessarily linear,
It is necessary to appropriately select and correct the characteristics of 2. Also, a limit value is set for the upper or lower limit of pressure fluctuation, and if the limit value is exceeded.
