    摘要: A thermo-sensitive flow rate sensor having a flow rate detecting device comprising: a plate-like substrate; a heating element and a temperature compensating element constituted by thermo-sensitive resistance films and formed on a top surface of the substrate in such a way as to be spaced apart from each other; and a low heat capacity portion formed by removing partially an area, in which the heating element is formed, of the substrate from a back surface side thereof. This thermo-sensitive flow rate sensor is used for measuring the flow velocity or flow rate of a measurement fluid according to a heat transfer phenomenon where a heat is transferred from the heating element or from a portion heated by the heating element to the measurement fluid. In this thermo-sensitive flow rate sensor, a diaphragm is constructed by forming at least one cavity by removing partially a region other than the area, in which the heating element and the temperature compensating element are formed, of the substrate from the back surface side thereof.

    摘要: A thermal-type flow sensor capable of generating a monotonously increasing output over a time period of transition from a reverse flow to a forward flow with a simplified structure while exhibiting high sensitivity in the measurement of flow rate in the forward direction. The flow sensor includes a plurality of heat generating portions implemented by upstream heat-sensitive resistor (4) and downstream heat-sensitive resistor (5) within a passage (19) as viewed in a direction in which fluid flows through the passage (19), for thereby measuring a flow rate or a flowing speed of the fluid on the basis of heat transfer phenomenon taking place between the heat generating portions and the fluid. The flow sensor includes a heating current control means (30, 31, 32) for controlling heating currents flowing through the heat-sensitive resistors (4, 5) so that temperatures of the plurality of heat generating portions increase by predetermined values relative to the temperature of the fluid, a means (34) for determining difference between heating currents flowing through the upstream heat generating portion and the downstream heat generating portion, and means (35 to 37) for detecting the flowing speed or the flow rate of the fluid on the basis of the difference between the heating currents.
