- the device according to the invention for measuring the mass of a flowing medium with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that devices with a housing suitable for production can be mass-produced in such a way that only extremely small variations in the measuring accuracy occur. It is also particularly advantageous that Design of the walls of the measuring channel according to the invention furthermore allows acceleration of the flow in the measuring channel to be maintained, which is known to lead to stabilization of the flow of the medium in the measuring channel, in particular at the inlet.
- An inclined configuration of an edge surface of the deflection channel with which it is possible to further simplify the manufacture of the measurement channel and the deflection channel, is particularly advantageous, which also leads to a further improvement in the measurement result.
- the device has a significantly reduced measurement signal noise that can arise from turbulence occurring in the measurement channel.

- the hatched wall 8 is part of the, for example, cylindrical suction line 9 through which the internal combustion engine can suck in air from the surroundings via an air filter (not shown).
- the wall 8 of the suction line 9 delimits a flow cross section, which in the case of the cylindrical suction line 9 has approximately a circular cross section, in the middle of which is parallel to the axial direction
- Wall 8 extends a central axis 11 which is oriented perpendicular to the plug axis 10.
- the device 1 projects into the flowing medium with a part referred to below as the measuring part 17, the measuring part 17 being located, for example, approximately in the region of the center of the suction line 9.
- the device 1 is composed, for example, in one piece from the measuring part 17, a carrier part 18 and a holding part 19 and is preferably made of plastic using plastic injection molding technology.
- a measuring element 21 is designed, for example, in the form of a so-called micromechanical component and has a plate-shaped carrier body 20 based on silicon, with a membrane-shaped sensor region which has been produced by etching and has an extremely small thickness and a plurality of resistance layers which have likewise been produced by etching. These resistance layers form at least one temperature-dependent measuring resistor and, for example, a heating resistor.
- the heating resistor which can be switched off with the help of a
- Temperature sensor is regulated to an excess temperature. Upstream and downstream of the heating area formed by the heating resistor there are two measuring resistors arranged symmetrically to the heating area.
- a measuring element is known from the already mentioned SAE paper 950433 as well as from DE-OS 42 19 454, the disclosure of both documents being expressly part of the present patent application.
- the carrier body 20 of the measuring element 21 is housed flush in a recess in a plate-shaped receptacle 23, for example made of metal, and is held, for example, by gluing.
- the individual resistance layers of the measuring element 21 are electrically connected by means of connecting lines 26 running inside the device 1 to an electronic evaluation circuit 27 shown in dashed lines in FIGS. 1 and 3, which contains for example a bridge-like resistance measuring circuit. With a connector 28 provided on the holding part 19, the electrical provided by the evaluation circuit 27 can Signals, for example, are also fed to another electronic control unit for evaluation.
- the measuring part 17 of the device 1 has a cuboid shape and a measuring channel 30, which extends along a measuring channel axis 12 running centrally in the measuring channel 30 from an inlet 32 having a rectangular cross section to a likewise rectangular cross section Outlet 33 extends.
- the device 1 is in the
- Suction line 9 preferably installed with the measuring channel axis 12 parallel to the central axis 11.
- the measuring channel 30 merges downstream into an S-shaped deflection channel 31.
- the measuring channel 30 is delimited by a surface 37 which is more distant from the central axis 11 and is at the top in FIGS. 1 and 3, and by a lower surface 38 which is closer to the central axis 11 and at the bottom in FIGS. 1 and 3 and by two side surfaces 39, 40, in Figures 1 and 3 only one of the side surfaces running parallel to the plane of the drawing, namely the
- Inlet 34 of the deflection channel 31 represents.
- the measuring element 21 with the resistance layers has a surface 24 which is exposed to the flow 43 in the measuring channel 30 and which is aligned with a surface 25 of the receptacle 23.
- the in a plane transverse or substantially perpendicular to the surface 24 of the Plate-shaped measuring element 21 extending surfaces 37, 38 of the measuring channel 30 enclose an inclination angle ⁇ , which is preferably approximately 8 °.
- FIG. 2 a sectional illustration along a line II-II in FIG. 1, the two side surfaces 39 and 40 run approximately parallel to the surface 24 of the measuring element 21. It therefore only results from the surfaces 37, 38 that converge an axial taper of the measuring channel 30 in the flow direction 43, the measuring element 21 preferably being arranged somewhat upstream of the narrowest point 36 of the measuring channel 30.
- the tapering of the measuring channel 30 provided in the flow direction 43 or the steady reduction in the flow cross-section from the inlet 32 to the outlet 33 has the effect that an accelerated flow results in the area of the measuring element 21, which produces an almost undisturbed, uniform parallel flow in the area of the measuring element 21 causes.
- Wall of the bottom part 45 in the region of the side surface 39 and the cover part 46 in the region of the side surface 40 is constant.
- the constant thickness of the walls in the region of the side surfaces 39, 40 in addition to the simpler production method during injection molding, gives the advantage that a constant cooling rate can be achieved, which ensures compliance with an exact Flatness of surfaces 39 and 40 guaranteed.
- Design of the recesses 48 can be achieved in particular in the region of the tapered measuring channel 30, a constant wall thickness, which leads to a constant cooling rate during manufacture, so that depressions or warpage on the surfaces 37, 38 of the measuring channel 30 can also be excluded.
- FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment according to the invention, in which all the same or equivalent parts are shown with the same reference numerals from FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the device 1 shown in FIG. 3 has a deflection channel 31 which is somewhat modified compared to FIG. 1 and whose edge surface 50, which runs perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, of a first section 51 of the deflection channel 31 directly adjoining the measuring channel 30 runs obliquely to the measuring channel axis 12.
- An inclination angle ⁇ enclosed by the measuring channel axis 12 and the edge surface 50 is preferably approximately 45 °. However, it is also possible to design the edge surface 50 with an angle of inclination ⁇ which is in the range from approximately 30 ° to 60 °.
- the inclined edge surface 50 is provided in order to divert the medium flowing from the outlet 33 of the measuring channel 30 into the first section 51 along the edge surface 50 into a second section 52 of the deflection channel 31, without an abrupt flow increase at one stage, as is the case in FIG Device 1 according to Figures 1 and 2 is the case.
- the inclined design of the edge surface 50 also advantageously causes disturbances in the flow, which can occur, for example, in the form of eddies or in the form of pressure waves, emanating from the outlet 33 of the measuring channel 30 to be reflected at the edge surface 50.
- an opening 60 can be provided downstream of the edge surface 50 in the deflection channel 31, which, for example in the form of a bore in the base part 45, connects the flow in the deflection channel 31 to the outside flow in the intake line 9. It is also conceivable to provide this opening 60 only in the cover part 46. Of course, there can also be a plurality of openings 60, for example in the base part 45 and / or in the cover part 46. Through the at least one opening 60 the from
- Deflection channel 31 formed resonance space for the pressure waves downstream downstream of the outlet 33 of the measuring channel 30 are influenced in such a way that a pressure equalization leads to a weakening of the pressure waves reflected at the edge surface 50.
- the size of the cross section of the at least one opening 60 allows the natural frequency of the resonance chamber to be matched to the frequency of the outgoing pressure waves in such a way that there is a further improvement in the measured value output by the measuring element 21.
