  • Publication number: 20060027016
    Abstract: A thermal type air flow measuring instrument has a molded part formed by integral molding with a metal plate. A slot or opening allowing only a resin to pass through the same is formed in the metal plate in an area subjected to higher stresses. A part of the connector terminals, are disposed in the vicinity of an area where the resin has a larger thickness and the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the resin is locally increased. The injecting direction is set to prevent a weld line and a void from being generated. For the molded part with the metal plate inserted therein, the occurrence of cracks is minimized. Further increase of the fatigue crack growth rate is decreased.

  • Publication number: 20040182171
    Abstract: The flow detecting elements are provided at the sub-passage for making the part of fluid to be measured (gas) flow. The wall of the sub-passage contains a leak hole (through hole) to drain a liquid having entered and accumulated inside the sub-passage. A protrusion for generating a dynamic pressure on the opening is arranged close to the opening of the leak hole on the external surface of the sub-passage. Alternatively, a protrusion located upstream from the leak hole is formed on the inner wall surface of the sub-passage. The former protrusion generates a dynamic pressure in response to the flow velocity of the gas flowing along the external surface of the sub-passage. The latter protrusion produces a separation flow area for separating the flow from the internal surface of the sub-passage (close to the leak hole), whereby the pressure of the separation floe area is reduced.
