Abstract

Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 計測誤差の少ない熱式流量計を実現する。 【構成】 吸入空気通路には感温抵抗体7、8が設置さ れる。そして、感温抵抗体8の温度より、感温抵抗体7 の温度が所定温度より高くなるようにパワートランジス タ5が制御される。オペアンプ230はボルテージホロ ワ回路として構成され、パワートランジスタ5のエミッ タから感温抵抗体8に電流を供給している。抵抗器1 0、11の分圧比は、感温抵抗体8の両端に加わる電圧 が感温抵抗体7に加わる電圧の1/10から1/20程 度となるように設定される。この結果、感温抵抗体8の 発熱による誤差を抑えつつ、オペアンプ回路のオフセッ ト電圧による誤差をも比較的小さい値に抑えることがで きる。 (57) [Summary] [Purpose] To realize a thermal flow meter with few measurement errors. A temperature-sensitive resistor is provided in an intake air passage. Then, the temperature of the temperature-sensitive resistor 7 is determined from the temperature of the temperature-sensitive resistor 8. Is controlled such that the temperature of the power transistor 5 becomes higher than a predetermined temperature. The operational amplifier 230 is configured as a voltage follower circuit, and supplies a current to the temperature-sensitive resistor 8 from the emitter of the power transistor 5. Resistor 1 The voltage division ratios of 0 and 11 are set so that the voltage applied to both ends of the temperature-sensitive resistor 8 is about 1/10 to 1/20 of the voltage applied to the temperature-sensitive resistor 7. As a result, it is possible to suppress the error due to the offset voltage of the operational amplifier circuit to a relatively small value while suppressing the error due to the heat generation of the temperature-sensitive resistor 8.
