Patent number: 10670439Abstract: The objective is to provide a thermal flowmeter that prevents a backflow generated from a trailing vortex downstream of the thermal flowmeter from inhibiting a flow flowing out from a dust discharge port. An opening surface of a dust discharge port is formed in a position that is displaced at least with respect to the direction of a backflow of air resulting from a trailing vortex generated as a result of the flow of air at a lower end surface in which the dust discharge port is formed. The main flow in an intake pipe flows from an upstream side to a downstream side, it is possible to avoid the flow from the dust discharge port opposing head-on a backflow from a trailing vortex on the lower end surface side, and suppress a reduction in the dust discharging effect and a worsening of mass flow rate measurement errors.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Masashi Fukaya, Shinobu Tashiro, Akira Uenodan, Tomoaki Saito, Naoki Saito
