Patent number: 11054331Abstract: An electrode pair that forms a pressure-sensitive capacitance Cx in the central portion of a diaphragm is called a first electrode pair (pressure-sensing electrode pair), and another electrode pair that forms a reference capacitance Cr in the circumferential portion of the diaphragm is called a second electrode pair (reference electrode pair). The ratio ?Cx/?Cr of a change ?Cx in the pressure-sensitive capacitance Cx, which is obtained from the pressure-sensing electrode pair at the time of evacuation, to a change ?Cr in the reference capacitance Cr, which is obtained from the reference electrode pair at the time of evacuation, is calculated as an index for malfunction detection ?. Then, the index for malfunction detection ? thus calculated is compared with the reference value ?ref, which represents the index observed during normal operation, and whether deformation due to a cause other than pressure has been generated in the diaphragm is determined.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: AZBIL CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya Ishihara, Masaru Soeda, Masashi Sekine
