A mass flow sensor includes a measuring element arranged on a membrane that is clamped in a frame. The sensor is formed by introducing a recess into a silicon wafer. Through the application of a recess having perpendicular walls, the thickness of the frame can be reduced, thus allowing the required surface area of the wafer to also be reduced.

The invention is directed to a flow sensor having a heater, two temperature measuring sensors, a heater temperature sensor and a medium temperature sensor. A control circuit is provided which controls the overtemperature of the heater in dependence upon the temperature of the flowing medium. With this arrangement, the influence of the temperature dependency of the following on the sensor characteristic are compensated: viscosity, thermal conductance and thermal capacity of the medium. The relationship between the heater temperature and the temperature of the medium is adjusted in a slightly nonlinear manner by means of special evaluation circuits. In this way, a further improvement of the temperature compensation is obtained.

The invention proposes a device for measuring the mass of a flowing medium, in particular the mass of air aspirated by internal combustion engines. The device has a platelike sensor element which is accommodated in a recess of a sensor carrier, and which with a sensor region that has at least one measuring resistor is exposed to the flowing medium in order to measure its mass. The sensor element is accommodated essentially flush in the recess and is retained in the recess by being glued to a bottom face in the recess. The bottom face of the recess of the sensor carrier has a troughlike indentation, which extends at least partially along the circumference of the sensor element outside the sensor region that has the at least one measuring resistor. The device according to the invention is intended to measure the mass of a flowing medium, in particular for measuring the mass of air aspirated by internal combustion engines.

A device for detecting a pulsating variable, for instance the air flowing in the intake tube of an engine, is disclosed in which the signal processing and the correction of the pulsation error are done in an evaluation device which is a constituent of the sensor. At the output of the signal processor, the sensor, for instance a hot-film air flow rate meter, outputs a corrected output signal, which is directly a measure of the variable to be determined, such as the mass of the air flowing in the intake tube of an internal combustion engine.

A method and apparatus controls the temperature of a precision resistor and, in turn, measures the flow rate of a flowing fluid mass. The precision resistor is a hot wire or hot film of an air mass meter of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. Through timed current flow, the operating temperature of the precision resistor is maintained at a higher temperature than the temperature of the flowing fluid mass. The timing of the electric current for maintaining the operating temperature of the precision resistor is controlled based on the magnitude of the gating voltage supplied to heat the precision resistor.

摘要:
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for determining the flow rate of a flowing medium such as the amount of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes at least one temperature-dependent resistor arranged in the flowing medium. For this purpose, an arrangement is provided which applies a quantity dependent on at least the flow rate to the temperature-dependent resistor. The method includes the step of abruptly reducing the flow rate dependent quantity to a value such as approximately zero in the presence of a flow-rate value lying below a predeterminable threshold value. Because the reduction takes place only for a predetermined period of time, normal operation will be resumed automatically when the flow rate rises again. A hot-wire air-flow sensor is arranged in the intake pipe of an internal combustion engine and the output signals thereof are a measure of the amount of air inducted by the internal combustion engine.
