摘要:
Transducer housing for mounting in a port in an engine combustion chamber has a metal diaphragm exposed to the combustion gasses. The pressure of the combustion gasses is transferred through an aluminum coupling disc which deflects a simply supported beam member. The beam member is formed of refractory material having epitaxially grown crystalline piezoresistors formed on one surface of the beam member and connected in a bridge circuit and is secured to a ceramic mounting disc. The aluminum coupling disc has a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion which maintains a preload on the beam member for improved accuracy in spite of the low thermal expansion of the ceramic mounting disc. In an alternate embodiment, an expansion ring made of a material having a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion is used to support a mounting disc on which the beam member is supported. The high expansion rate of the expansion ring maintains a preload between the beam member and a cup diaphragm by compensating for the relatively low expansion of the ceramic mounting disc.

摘要:
A transducer housing for mounting a port in a combustion chamber has a metal diaphragm exposed to the combustion gasses. The pressure of the combustion gasses deflects the diaphragm which locally deflects a simply supported beam. The beam is formed of refractory material having epitaxially grown crystalline piezoresistors formed on one surface of the beam and connected in a bridge circuit. Noble metal foil leads connect to the piezoresistors to form the bridge and provide attachment pads. The pads are noble metal welded to other noble metal foil pads provided on a ceramic substrate to form a sensor subassembly for mounting adjacent the diaphragm to form a transducer.
摘要:
In the pressure sensor proposed, the pressure is transmitted through a diaphragm (14) and a punch (18) to a piezo-resistive sensor element (19). The sensor element (19) is printed on the substrate of a hybrid circuit (22) and comprises several resistance tracks (38, 39) disposed one above the other in layers, in particular in the form of a pyramid. This makes it particularly simple to transmit the pressure into the sensor in a controlled fashion. In addition, the hybrid circuit is located at one end of the punch stop (23). The compact mounting of the hybrid circuit (22) and piezo-resistive sensor element (19) gives a relatively small, inexpensive design, but a large and relatively error-free sensor signal.

In the pressure sensor (11) proposed, the pressure is transmitted through a diaphragm (14) and a punch (18) to a piezo-resistive sensor element (19). The sensor element (19) is printed on the support of a hybrid circuit (21). The hybrid circuit (21) can be located in particularly simple fashion on one end of the punch stop (22) or on one side of the stop (22). The compact mounting of the hybrid circuit (21) and the piezo-resistive sensor elements (19) gives a relatively small, inexpensive pressure-sensor design. Tried-and-tested thick-film resistances which can be applied easily, such as cermet or plastic, can be used as piezo-resistive sensor elements (19).
