- Reference numeral 21 denotes attached floating fine particles such as carbon, which are attached to the boundary between the diaphragm 3 and the substrate 2 on the upstream side and after being used for a long period of time, and to the central portion.
- the amount of adhesion is large when the flow of air is slow, and it is characterized by little adhesion on the downstream side.
- the buoyant fine particles 21 such as carbon attached to the upstream side of the diaphragm 3 accumulate over time of use, and the attachment height (H) is tens of meters in the worst case. Reach.
- the suspended fine particles 21 of carbon or the like to which the air flow 10 adheres are disturbed as obstacles.
- the buoyant fine particles 21 of carbon or the like have a size of about several meters, and at such a particle size, the speed due to the gravitational settling of the particles becomes extremely small, and floats following the flow of air.
- thermophoretic effect is a phenomenon that has a particularly significant effect on particulate matter having a small particle size in which Brownian motion is important. Is a phenomenon that diffuses to the surface and adheres to the wall surface. That is, when the temperature of the gas phase medium is high and the temperature of the wall is low, diffusion and adhesion by thermophoresis are much more dominant than ordinary diffusion and adhesion.
- This phenomenon is due to the fact that the higher the temperature of the molecular motion of the gas phase medium is, the more the momentum given to the particles by impacting the particles is higher on the higher temperature side than on the lower temperature side. Due to the difference in molecular motion due to the difference between the particles, an action force is generated on the particulate matter due to the thermophoretic effect. This force generates a moving velocity (V) in the particulate matter.
- This moving speed (V) is given by the following equation.
- T a is the temperature of the medium
- a is the kinematic viscosity coefficient of the medium
- C is the coefficient of thermophoresis.
- thermophoretic effect is large when the temperature of the medium (T a) is low and the gradient of the medium temperature in space is large (the temperature distribution is steep).
- This thermophoretic effect can explain the characteristic adhesion phenomenon of the buoyant fine particles such as carbon shown in FIGS.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show the temperature distribution of the diaphragm section 3 of the thermal type flow sensor.
- FIG. 8 shows the case where there is no medium flow 10
- the temperature distribution of the diaphragm section 3 when there is no medium flow 10 in Fig. 8 is as follows. 3 shows a temperature distribution.
- the temperature of the substrate 2 around the diaphragm 3 is almost equal to the medium temperature (Ta) because the substrate 2 is a single-crystal Si substrate with good thermal conductivity and the substrate volume is sufficiently large (large heat capacity). ).
- the temperature distribution of the diaphragm section 3 is reduced by the cooling effect of the medium on the upstream side of the heating resistor 4 and the downstream side is heated by the heating resistor 4, so that the ellipse is downstream.
- the isothermal distribution of the shape shifts.
- the temperature distribution is substantially the same as that of the windless state in FIG. Become.
- the temperature gradient of the diaphragm 3 is the largest in the region indicated by BB ′ in the center. Focusing on this part, Fig. 10 shows the cross section and temperature distribution of the diaphragm section 3 of BB '.
- the width of the diaphragm 3 is W
- the width of the heating resistor 4 is Wh
- the distance from the upstream end of the heating resistor 4 to the upstream end of the diaphragm 3 is W s
- the heating resistor The distance from the downstream end of 4 to the downstream end of diaphragm 3 is W d.
- the downstream distance Wd it is better to design the distance to the upstream end to be the same as the Ws dimension due to the symmetry of the backflow and the temperature distribution.
- the heating temperature (Th) of the heating resistor 4 is defined by the average temperature of the heating resistor 4 above (the average temperature calculated from the resistance value and the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating resistor 4).
- the medium flow 10 When used in an internal combustion engine such as an automobile, the medium flow 10 is such that the intake air has a minimum flow velocity of 0.25 mZsec or more. Under such conditions, the temperature distribution changes more steeply only at the upstream end C of the diaphragm portion 3 than at the downstream end, so that the above equation (1) is used.
- the grad (Ta) term becomes large, and the acting force of the thermophoretic effect concentrates on the portion C, so that floating particles such as carbon adhere. For this reason, the adhesion of floating particles such as carbon after long-time use as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. The phenomenon in which the adhesive concentrates on the part can be explained. The adhesion of floating particles such as carbon after prolonged use was examined under various conditions.
- thermophoresis effect shown in the above equation (1) that is, the gradient of the medium (air) temperature in space (temperature distribution on the upstream side of the diaphragm 3) and the floating property of carbon and the like A strong correlation was observed between the amount of attached fine particles (height H).
- the adhesion height (H) gradually increases.
- the temperature gradient (AThZWs) increases to 800 (° C / image). If it exceeds, the adhesion height (H) increases rapidly.
- the distance (Ws) from the section to the upstream end of the diaphragm section 3 it is possible to prevent the adhesion of floating particles such as carbon.
- the temperature gradient (AThZWs) is 800 (° C / dish) or less, adhesion of floating particles such as carbon becomes remarkable especially at a high temperature where the heating temperature (ATh) of the heating resistor 4 exceeds 160 CO. Therefore, the heating temperature (ATh) of the heating resistor 4 is equal to or lower than 160 (° C), and the distance (Ws) from the upstream end of the heating resistor 4 to the upstream end of the diaphragm 3 is smaller. At 0.2 or more jobs, attachment of airborne fine particles such as carbon was suppressed.
- the width W is 700 ⁇
- the width Wh is 100 m
- the heating temperature ( ⁇ ) of the heating resistor 4 is 120 (° C)
- the width Ws is 300 m.
- the temperature gradient (AThZWs) on the upstream side of the diaphragm section 3 is set to 800 (° CZ) or less, so that the thermal flow sensor is mounted on an internal combustion engine such as an automobile. Therefore, even when used under severe environmental conditions for a long period of time, it is possible to prevent the adhesion of buoyant fine particles such as carbon fiber due to the thermophoretic effect and improve reliability. In addition, since a new additional component (light emitting means, etc.) is not required as in the conventional example, a low-cost and highly reliable thermal flow sensor can be provided.

- the diaphragm portion 3 is a substantially cross-shaped diaphragm having wide portions 3a and 3b in the center.
- the width L2 of the wide portions 3a and 3b may be approximately equal to the width of the high-temperature portion of the resistor 4. For example, when the length L is 2 to 3 mm, the width L2 is about 1 mm.
- the width (W) of the peripheral portion of the diaphragm 3 can be reduced while ensuring the distance (W s) from the upstream end of the antibody 4 to the upstream end of the diaphragm 3.
- W s the distance from the upstream end of the antibody 4 to the upstream end of the diaphragm 3.
- FIG. 13 is an enlarged view of the diaphragm section 3 of the thermal type flow sensor element 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
- the difference from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is that auxiliary heating resistors 4a and 4b are formed around the boundary with the substrate 2 in the center of the diaphragm 3.
- the auxiliary heating resistors 4a and 4 were formed and the area around the boundary with the substrate 2 at the center of the diaphragm 3 was heated to, for example, (intake temperature Ta + 20 to 40 ° C), as shown in Fig. 10. It can relieve the steep temperature distribution in section C where carbon and other buoyant particles are most likely to adhere. For this reason, the thermophoretic effect in the part C is reduced, and the attachment of floating fine particles such as carbon can be prevented.
