[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of micro-electro-mechanical system sensor, in particular to a MEMS pressure sensor. BACKGROUND
[0002] Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) pressure sensor is a kind of miniature pressure detection device based on micro-machining technology, its core is to use the micro-machining process of semiconductor materials such as silicon to integrate micro-sensitive structure (such as thin film, beam, cavity, etc.) and signal processing circuit on the chip, when the external pressure acts on these sensitive structures, the structure will produce micro deformation, the deformation is converted into electrical signal through piezoresistive effect, capacitive effect or piezoelectric effect, etc. Physical principle, so as to realize the accurate measurement of pressure, compared with traditional mechanical pressure sensor, MEMS pressure sensor is outstanding with its small size, light weight, low power consumption, low cost and batch production, and can be compatible with integrated circuit, easy to integrate into various electronic systems; Because of these irreplaceable advantages of MEMS sensor, traditional automotive pressure sensor is gradually replaced by it.
[0003] However, the existing pressure sensor is usually installed and fixed by the rigid contact of the electronic device and the shell, during the use of the automobile, due to often in outdoor environment, it is easy to be affected by temperature, humidity, wind speed and other climate factors, these factors may affect the measurement accuracy of the pressure sensor; In addition, the automobile may also suffer from collision and other external force during operation, the installation mode of the traditional pressure sensor makes the electronic device easy to be connected with the shell after experiencing thermal expansion and cold shrinkage or external force collision, or the electronic device is damaged due to the extrusion of the shell after deformation or stress due to the rigid contact of the electronic device and the shell, thereby affecting the detection accuracy and reducing the service life.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the prior art proposes some solutions, for example, the invention patent with application number CN202311099506.8 discloses a MEMS automobile pressure sensor. The invention realizes the fixation of the PCB board through the abutment of the connector with the PCB board, the limiting of the connector and the base on the first path to the PCB board, and the limiting of the inner circumferential surface of the first mounting cavity to the PCB board on the second path. Due to the accommodation cavity provided on the connector, the second mounting cavity is communicated with the first mounting cavity, thereby reducing the rigid contact area on both sides of the PCB board, avoiding the extrusion with the base or the connector under the influence of the environment or external force, and improving the service life of the PCB board. In addition, the electronic module is located in the first mounting cavity. After the connector is inserted into the first mounting cavity, the electronic module is located in the accommodation cavity, and the PCB board covers the opening of the accommodation cavity, so that the electronic module is in a closed space, not only avoiding the rigid contact with the connector and the base, but also reducing the influence of the change of external environmental temperature or humidity. The sensing module is located in the second mounting cavity and is fixed through the connection with the PCB board, avoiding the rigid contact of the sensing module with the base, reducing the probability of extrusion or collision of the sensing module with the base, and ensuring the detection accuracy of the sensing module.
[0005] Although the above-mentioned scheme reduces the rigid contact and improves the stability through structural optimization, the application of the MEMS pressure sensor in the automobile engine intake system still faces challenges. Due to the movement characteristics of the piston inside the engine cylinder, the airflow in the intake manifold presents a pulse form. This pulse airflow will produce a continuous and strong impact force on the sensing diaphragm of the MEMS pressure sensor. In the long-term impact environment, the structure of the sensing diaphragm is prone to deformation, rupture, etc., resulting in a decrease in its sensitivity, and ultimately a significant reduction in the precision of data collected by the MEMS pressure sensor, which seriously affects the accurate judgment and regulation of the engine control system on the intake amount.

[0030] In operation, referring to Figures 1 to 7 , the air flow of the automobile intake system first enters through the air inlet 103 at the lower end of the shell 1, and contacts the oil-repellent and water-repellent film 105 at the lowermost end of the air inlet 103; the oil-repellent and water-repellent film 105 is embedded in the annular groove 104 through the sealing design of the tight surface and the edge, and uses the oil-repellent and water-repellent characteristics to make liquid pollutants form liquid beads and roll off, and uses the principle of physically blocking solid particles to intercept oil fume, water vapor and solid particles ≥0.1 μm in the air flow, so as to avoid the pollutants from entering the subsequent core structure; the filtered air flow vertically upwardly flows through the detection channel 4 and enters the lower end of the buffer cavity 5; the air flow enters the gradually expanding buffer cavity 5, uses the characteristic of the increasing cavity volume to preliminarily reduce the air flow velocity and weaken the pulse pressure peak, so as to reduce the wear and damage risk of the sensing diaphragm 2 caused by frequently bearing severe pressure.
[0031] Further, the arc-shaped guide vane 501 with the concave inner wall at the lower end of the buffer cavity 5 faces the air inlet 103, which divides the air flow into multiple branch flows, the arc-shaped concave surface of the guide vane 501 guides the air flow to stably flow along the inner wall of the buffer cavity 5, and the edge round treatment of the guide vane 501 avoids the turbulence when the air flow impacts the guide vane 501, and further disperses the pulse energy; at this time, the air flow treated by the guide vane 501 enters the annular guide cavity 7 with a contraction angle of 6° and a length of 1 / 2 of the total length of the buffer cavity 5, the structure of the gradually reduced inner diameter of the annular guide cavity 7 forces the air flow to converge to the center, and cooperates with the low roughness design of Ra=0.1 μm of the inner wall of the annular guide cavity 7 to reduce the friction disturbance between the air flow and the cavity wall of the annular guide cavity 7, so as to make the air flow transition from “dispersed flow” to “quasi-laminar flow”; the air flow finally enters the cylindrical rectifying net 6 with a diameter larger than that of the sensing diaphragm 2, at this time, the hexagonal array and parallel to the axis of the shell 1 of the mesh hole 601 combs the air flow, converts the residual turbulence into uniform laminar flow parallel to the axis of the shell 1 through the shunt effect of the mesh hole 601, and completely covers the sensing area of the sensing diaphragm 2.
[0032] The rectified laminar flow vertically acts on the silicon-based sensing diaphragm 2, the sensing diaphragm 2 generates a small deformation under the pressure, and the deformation amount is linearly related to the pressure; since the sensing diaphragm 2 is fixed with the inner wall of the sensing installation cavity 101 through the stepped flexible connecting ring 8, the inner layer 801 of nickel-titanium alloy, the middle layer 802 of polyimide and the outer layer 803 of beryllium copper of the connecting ring 8 are matched through the material elasticity and the thickness of the inner layer 801 is equal to that of the outer layer 803, and the thickness of the middle layer 802 is 1 / 2 of that of the inner and outer layers 803, so as to relieve the stress difference caused by the thermal expansion of silicon and the metal shell 1 due to temperature change, avoid the sensing diaphragm 2 from generating additional deformation due to stress extrusion, and ensure that the deformation amount is only determined by the air flow pressure; at this time, the sensing diaphragm 2 converts the deformation into an electric signal through capacitance change or resistance change, and transmits the electric signal to the signal processing cavity 102 through the lead wire.
[0033] Further, after the electric signal enters the ASIC signal processing unit 3, the ASIC signal processing unit 3 performs amplification, filtering, temperature compensation and other processing on the original signal to eliminate, for example, airflow turbulence residues and circuit thermal noise interference; since the buffer ring 902 is arranged in the buffer groove 901 on the outer wall of the ASIC signal processing unit 3 and connected with the inner wall of the signal processing cavity 102, the buffer ring 902 can absorb the impact vibration of the ASIC signal processing unit 3 caused by, for example, engine vibration, so as to avoid loosening of circuit connection or damage of components; the processed signal is output through the wiring end 906 extending to the upper side of the sealing plate 905, the sealing plate 905 can rotate with the rotating groove 904 of the mounting cap 903, so as to avoid twisting of the wire during wiring and ensure stable transmission of the signal, and meanwhile the ASIC signal processing unit 3 is sealed and protected.

For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiment without departing from the principles and ideas of the application, and still fall within the protection scope of the application.
