  • Publication number: 20220155122
    Abstract: An air flow rate measurement device includes a housing, a flow rate sensing device and a physical quantity sensing device. The flow rate sensing device is located in a flow rate measurement passage of the housing and outputs a signal which corresponds to a flow rate of air flowing in the flow rate measurement passage. The physical quantity sensing device is located in a physical quantity measurement main passage of the housing that is communicated with a physical quantity measurement main passage inlet and a physical quantity measurement main passage outlet of the housing. The physical quantity sensing device outputs a signal which corresponds to a physical quantity of the air flowing in the physical quantity measurement main passage. The housing has the physical quantity measurement main passage outlet as one of a plurality of physical quantity measurement main passage outlets.

  • Patent number: 11125193
    Abstract: A temperature sensor and a relative humidity sensor are placed in an environment allowing air to flow and are displaced in an upstream-downstream direction of the airflow. An absolute humidity acquisition unit acquires absolute humidity of air from outputs from the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor. A delay adjustment unit delays an output from one of the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor placed upstream and to reconcile change-behaviors of outputs from the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor in response to a state change in air. The absolute humidity acquisition unit acquires the absolute humidity based on the output from the other of the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor placed downstream and an output acquired from the one sensor placed upstream and delayed in the delay adjustment unit.

  • Patent number: 11111887
    Abstract: A temperature sensor differs from a relative humidity sensor in responsiveness when the temperature of air changes. An absolute humidity acquisition unit acquires absolute humidity of air from outputs from the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor. A delay adjustment unit is to delay an output from one of the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor, which is a high response sensor having a higher responsiveness, and to reconcile change-behaviors of the output from the temperature sensor and the output from the relative humidity sensor in response to a temperature change in air. The absolute humidity acquisition unit acquires the absolute humidity based on the output from the other of the temperature sensor and the relative humidity sensor, which is a low response sensor having a lower responsiveness, and the sensor signal, which is from the high response sensor and delayed in the delay adjustment unit.

  • Patent number: 11053877
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an air flow rate measuring including a casing and a sensor. The casing includes a main-bypass passage that defines an inlet and an outlet, a sub-bypass passage that branches off from the main-bypass passage at a branching area, and a guiding wall that changes, at a position upstream of the branching area, a flow direction of the passing air taken in from the inlet. The inlet and the guiding wall are arranged in an arranging direction along a flow direction of the intake air in the duct. The guiding wall includes an inlet side surface that faces the inlet and is not perpendicular to the arranging direction.

  • Patent number: 9759593
    Abstract: An airflow-rate detecting device capable of detecting humidity has a housing, a flow rate sensor, a humidity sensor, a humidity sensor case, and a dust separating portion. The housing therein defines a bypass passage into which a part of air flowing in a duct flows. The flow rate sensor is disposed in the bypass passage. The humidity sensor detects a humidity of air flowing in the duct at an outside of the housing. The humidity sensor case houses the humidity sensor and therein defines an interior space into which a part of air flowing in the duct flows as a target air of which humidity is detected by the humidity sensor. The dust separating portion removes dust from the target air before the target air flows into the interior space.

  • Patent number: 9612143
    Abstract: A pair of half hollow members are mated to each other at mating surfaces to form a resin filling space between the mating surfaces. The resin filling space is charged with melting resin, and the melting resin is solidified. Each of the mating surface has a groove. The groove has a bottom surface in which a hole opens. The groove and the hole form the resin filling space between the mating surfaces when the half hollow members are mated to each other. A wall surface of the groove and an inner circumferential periphery of the hole are equipped with a melting projection, which are configured to be melted with heat of the melting resin and to be solidified with the melting resin.

  • Patent number: 9140197
    Abstract: A valve timing control apparatus includes a temperature sensing member which expands at a main lock phase when a temperature of an engine is higher than or equal to a predetermined temperature so as to prohibit a main lock component from moving out of a main lock hole to a guide slot. The temperature sensing member shrinks at the main lock phase when the temperature of the engine is lower than the predetermined temperature so as to allow the main lock component to move out of the main lock hole toward the guide slot.
