For mass production of anemometers for EGR systems with hot exhaust gas streams having temperatures up to 200° C. or 300° C., conductors and film resistors are placed onto a bed, and are covered on this bed, e.g. A sensor tip of the flow sensor of the anemometer is made of inorganic materials up to the housing cover. A cable is led into a housing and self-supporting electrical conductors are led through the housing cover. In the housing, leads of the cable are connected to the self-supporting electrical conductors. Using bed profiles passing through the cover, the film resistors are spaced from the housing sufficiently far that the film resistors and the housing are largely thermally decoupled. As an intermediate product, a measurement tip or a sensor bar as part of a sensor tip is made of purely inorganic components, in order to make the mass production efficient.
A method for mass production of flow sensors (1) having a sensor tip (3) made of inorganic material up to a housing cover (5) and including a heating resistor formed as a film resistor (30), self-supporting electrical leads (42) connected to the heating resistor, and carriers on which the self-supporting electrical leads (42) are fixed, wherein a cable (7) leads into a housing (6) and the self-supporting electrical leads (42) lead through the housing cover (5), the method comprising:
A sensor tip (3) made of inorganic materials, comprising:
A method for mass production of sensor tips having parts made of inorganic materials and a film resistor formed as a heating resistor, the heating resistor being connected to self-supporting electrical leads (42) which are led through a housing cover (5), the method comprising:
A flow sensor (1) for an exhaust gas recirculation, comprising a heating resistor in a form of a film resistor (30), cable leads connected to self-supporting electrical leads for connecting the film resistor in a housing, wherein the self-supporting electrical leads (42) lead through a cover (5) of the housing (6), and wherein the self-supporting electrical leads (42) are covered on a bed (43) in a region between the film resistor (30) to which they are connected and a cover duct through which they protrude from the housing (6), and a bolt pressed, transverse to a cable lead connected to the self-supporting electrical leads, into an intermediate space between the cable lead and a cross-bore.
