  • Patent number: 10969287
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filling body for reducing a volume of a pressure measurement chamber, which is to be filled with a pressure transmitting fluid, surrounding a pressure sensor. The filling body includes a recess for receiving the pressure sensor and has a free-standing base projecting into the recess on which the pressure sensor can be mounted. A filling body base supporting the filling body is provided on a side of the filling body facing away from the recess. The filling body can be mounted in an application location in such a way that the filling body base supports the otherwise free-standing filling body. The filling body base has a base surface that is smaller than a base surface of a filling body region that is adjacent to the filling body base and surrounding the recess.

  • Patent number: 10837855
    Abstract: Disclosed is an easily manufacturable pressure measuring system comprising a support, especially a support of metal, especially stainless steel, a pedestal connected with the support, and a pressure sensor mounted on a free end of the pedestal, in the case of which the pressure sensor is protected against thermomechanical stresses. The pressure measuring system is distinguished by features including that the pedestal includes a base arranged on the support, the pedestal includes a projection extending from the base toward the pressure sensor and comprising the free end of the pedestal, the base has a footprint, which is larger than a footprint of the projection, and the projection has a footprint, which is smaller than a footprint of the pressure sensor mounted thereon.

  • Patent number: 8511151
    Abstract: A pressure sensor, comprising: a semiconductor pressure measuring transducer having a measuring membrane and a circuit for transducing a deformation of the measuring membrane into a signal; a pressure transfer structure having a hydraulic path, which extends through a solid body between a first a second opening. The first opening is sealed by an isolating diaphragm, which is contactable with a pressure, in order to introduce the pressure to be measured into the hydraulic path. The hydraulic path opens, at the second opening, into a transducer chamber, in which the pressure measuring transducer is arranged and which is sealed by the measuring membrane of the pressure measuring transducer. The hydraulic path contains a transfer liquid; a filling element, which is arranged in the transducer chamber, in order to fill hollow spaces between metal walls of the transducer chamber and the semiconductor pressure measuring transducer.
