Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow sensor technology, and in particular to a packaging structure based on a MEMS flow sensor. Background Technology

[0002] MEMS, or Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, is a technology that combines micro-machining and microelectronics. Compared to traditional flow sensors, MEMS flow sensors offer significant advantages such as miniaturization, high precision, fast response, low power consumption, high integration, and high reliability. Based on their working principle, MEMS flow sensors can be broadly categorized into three types: piezoelectric, piezoresistive, and thermal transfer. Thermal transfer flow sensors utilize temperature changes to determine flow rate, requiring no mechanically moving miniature components for measurement; therefore, they exhibit higher stability and longer lifespan.

[0003] The working principle of a heat transfer flow sensor is to obtain the fluid flow rate by measuring the temperature change of the temperature-sensing resistors on both sides of a heater. When there is no flow, the resistors on both sides have the same temperature and therefore equal resistance. However, when fluid flows, the temperature distribution on both sides becomes asymmetrical, resulting in a difference in resistance, which is then used to obtain the voltage change value through a Wheatstone bridge. Different flow rates lead to different temperature distributions, thus producing different output voltages, ultimately establishing a correspondence between flow rate and output voltage.

[0004] The encapsulation channel of a MEMS flow sensor is the core interface connecting the external fluid and the sensor chip. It undertakes the key functions of stable flow guidance, thermal isolation, mechanical protection, and environmental shielding. Its design directly affects the sensor's measurement accuracy, long-term stability, and environmental adaptability.

[0005] Existing patent 1 (US9952079B2) discloses a flow sensor. This solution uses an S-shaped flow channel, which has a certain effect of smoothing the medium flow rate. However, the overall structure has a low utilization rate of the flow channel area, resulting in a large overall space occupation.

[0006] Existing patent 2 (US7757553B2) discloses a flow detector with a housing. This solution adopts a split installation structure, and the housing structure corresponding to the flow channel is complex with many parts, making installation difficult. In mass production, it is difficult to ensure product consistency, and there is also a lack of corresponding filtration devices to solve the problem of interference from impurities.

[0007] In MEMS flow sensor design, laminar flow is a favorable stable flow state (ensuring measurement accuracy), while eddies and turbulence may cause interference (which needs to be suppressed through flow channel optimization, filtering devices, etc.). Therefore, there is an urgent need for a packaging structure based on MEMS flow sensors to solve the problems of existing MEMS flow sensor packaging being susceptible to turbulence and difficult to standardize.

[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will describe the above technical solutions in detail with reference to specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a packaging structure based on a MEMS flow sensor provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a bottom view of housing 1, as shown below. Figure 1-2As shown, the packaging structure of the MEMS flow sensor includes: a flow channel shell, a PCB board 2, and a detection chip 3; the flow channel shell includes a housing 1 and two tube platforms 11. The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a sample inlet flow channel 13. The PCB board 2 covers the outside of the sample inlet flow channel 13 to form a flow channel cavity. The tube platform 11 is provided with a through groove 12, and the outlet 14 at the bottom of the through groove 12 communicates with the flow channel cavity; the detection chip 3 is embedded on the PCB board 2 and is located in the flow channel cavity; the two tube platforms 11 serve as the medium injection port and the medium discharge port, respectively (that is, when one tube platform 11 serves as the medium injection port, the other tube platform 11 serves as the medium discharge port, and the functions of the two can be switched according to actual application requirements). That is, the medium is introduced into the flow channel cavity through one of the tube platforms 11, the detection chip 3 detects and collects the flow rate data of the medium in the flow channel cavity in real time, and the medium finally flows out through the other tube platform 11.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the flow channel shell is integrally formed. The material of the flow channel shell is plastic, ceramic or polymer material, etc. Different manufacturing processes can be adopted depending on the material. The integral forming manufacturing process is, for example, injection molding, injection molding or compression molding.

[0030] Combination Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram shows the bottom structure of the housing 1. A stepped groove 16 is provided at the bottom edge of the housing 1. The PCB board 2 is attached to the stepped groove 16, and the connection between the PCB board 2 and the stepped groove 16 is sealed with a sealant, such as epoxy resin.

[0031] The sample inlet channel 13 consists of an inner cavity 152 and two outer circulation channels 151. The two outer circulation channels 151 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner cavity 152, and the outer port 154 of the outer circulation channel 151 is connected to the inner cavity 152. The inner port 153 of the outer circulation channel 151 is connected to the outlet 14 of the through groove 12.

[0032] An inner boss 155 is provided in the inner cavity 152. A smooth inclined surface 156 is provided between the inner boss 155 and the outer circulation channel 151. The inclined surface 156 is inclined in the direction that the top of the inner boss 155 is inclined towards the bottom surface of the outer circulation channel 151, and the height of the top of the inner boss 155 is greater than the height of the bottom surface of the outer circulation channel 151.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the width of the inner boss 155 is greater than the width of the outer circulation channel 151, and the detection chip 3 is positioned directly opposite the inner boss 155. This allows the medium to enter the inner cavity 152 from the outer circulation channel 151 and reach the top of the inner boss 155 along the inclined surface 156, enabling the detection chip 3 to obtain more stable flow data.

[0034] The width ratio of the inner boss 155 width W1 to the outer circulation channel 151 width W2 is 4:1. In other embodiments, other ratios are also possible, as long as the width of the inner boss 155 is greater than the width of the outer circulation channel 151.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, an outer protrusion 157 is provided at intervals in the outer circulation channel 151. The top of the outer protrusion 157 is inclined toward the bottom surface of the outer circulation channel 151, and the height of the top of the outer protrusion 157 is greater than the height of the bottom surface of the outer circulation channel 151. The outer protrusion 157 cooperates with the inner protrusion 151 to greatly improve the smoothness of the medium flow and facilitate the acquisition of flow data.

[0036] The external circulation channel 151 has a vortex structure and includes multiple turning angles, the turning angles being 90°, and the turning angles being rounded. In this embodiment of the invention, the turning angle from the inner port 153 of the external circulation channel 151 to the outer port 154 is 450°, that is, when the single turning angle is 90°, the invention performs 5 consecutive turns.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the detection chip 3 is bonded to the PCB board 2 with die-attach adhesive and electrically connected to the PCB board 2 by wire bonding. In other embodiments of the present invention, the PCB board 2 may also be provided with a receiving groove, the detection chip 3 is disposed in the receiving groove, and the top of the detection chip 3 is flush with the surface of the PCB board 2. When the medium is at a high flow rate, it will generate a high Reynolds number and Nusselt number, which will lead to flow separation. The separated flow will reduce the performance of the sensor. By making the top of the detection chip 3 flush with the surface of the PCB board 2, the influence of the detection chip 3 on the medium in the inner cavity 152 can be avoided.

[0038] The PCB board 2 is provided with flow guide grooves 20 at positions corresponding to the tube platform 11. The flow guide grooves 20 are connected to the flow channel port 153. The medium is introduced into the flow guide groove 20 from one of the tube platforms 11, then input into the flow channel cavity from the flow channel port 153, and output from the other tube platform 11.

[0039] To avoid interference from impurities in the medium, a positioning and mounting groove 22 is provided in the flow guide groove 20, and a filter part 4 is provided in the positioning and mounting groove 22. The filter part 4 is used to filter the medium input into the outlet 14 at the bottom of the channel 12.

[0040] Figure 4 See the schematic diagram of the filter section 4. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the filter section 4 includes a filter screen 42 and a support plate 41 surrounding the outside of the filter screen 42. The filter screen 42 is a perforated mesh structure, and the support plate 41 is disposed in the positioning mounting groove 22 to provide physical support. The shape of the filter section 4 matches the shape of the positioning mounting groove 22. For example, when the filter section 4 is circular, the shape of the positioning mounting groove 22 is also circular. In other embodiments, it can also be adjusted to other shapes according to actual application requirements, such as rectangles. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the filter section 4 can be arranged horizontally or vertically, and a suitable arrangement can be selected according to actual application requirements. When the filter section 4 is arranged vertically, compared to a horizontal arrangement, it can employ a larger area structure, thereby increasing the filtration area, improving the filtration effect, and enhancing the structural stability of the filter section 4. Specifically: When the filter section 4 is arranged horizontally, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning mounting groove 22 has a stepped structure and is horizontally positioned directly opposite the bottom outlet 14 of the through groove 12. The filter section 4 has a circular structure and is horizontally positioned within the positioning mounting groove 22. When the filter section 4 is vertically positioned, refer to... Figure 5-7 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning and mounting groove 22 when the filter section 4 is set vertically. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the filter section 4 is installed vertically. Figure 7 The diagram shows the structure of the flow channel shell when the filter section 4 is vertically arranged. The positioning and mounting groove 22 is opened on both sides of the inner wall of the middle area of ​​the guide groove 20. The sample inlet flow channel 13 is provided with a filter mounting groove 17 corresponding to the position of the positioning and mounting groove 22. The filter section 4 has a rectangular structure and is embedded in the positioning and mounting groove 22 and the filter mounting groove 17.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the pore size of the filter screen 42 is 80-500 mesh, and the pore size of the filter screen 42 can be determined according to the actual application scenario; for example, in the scenario where the filter screen 42 is applied to HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) damper control, it needs to filter PM10 level dust and fibers, and the pore size of the filter screen 42 can be 80-120 mesh; in the scenario where the filter screen 42 is applied to process control or gas metering, it needs to filter pipe rust, tar condensate, etc., and the pore size of the filter screen 42 can be 120-180 mesh; in the scenario where the filter screen 42 is applied to ventilators and anesthesia machines, it needs to filter droplet nuclei (≥5μm), dust, pathogens, etc., and the pore size of the filter screen 42 can be 200-300 mesh; When the filter 42 is used in an oxygen concentrator, it needs to filter zeolite dust and environmental particulate matter (≥3μm), and the pore size of the filter 42 can be 150-200 mesh. When the filter 42 is used in a gas analyzer, it needs to filter particles ≥2μm to protect the spectral / electrochemical sensor, and the pore size of the filter 42 can be 300-400 mesh. When the filter 42 is used in a leak detection device (helium detector, etc.), it needs to filter submicron particles (≥0.5μm), and the pore size of the filter 42 can be 400-500 mesh.

[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, the material of the filter screen 42 may be, for example, stainless steel / medical-grade titanium alloy woven mesh, polyethersulfone (PES) membrane composite stainless steel support mesh, nickel-based high-temperature alloy (Inconel 600) sintered filter element, etc., which can be selected according to actual application requirements, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit it.

[0044] The side of the PCB board 2 is also provided with a pin header 21, which forms a connection port for electrical connection with external active devices to transmit data.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the side of the flow channel shell may also be provided with a plurality of connecting ears 15, which are used to connect with the external support structure to provide physical support.

[0046] The packaging structure based on a MEMS flow sensor described in this embodiment of the invention has the following advantages compared to the prior art: 1. The PCB board 2 is covered on the outside of the sample inlet channel 13 to form a flow channel cavity, and the detection chip 3 is placed in the flow channel cavity to realize the detection of the flow parameters of the medium in the flow channel cavity; 2. The flow channel shell is integrally molded, which greatly simplifies the production difficulty, improves the efficiency and product consistency during mass production, and the integral flow channel shell reduces the installation process of parts during assembly, thus reducing the installation difficulty. 3. An inner boss 155 is provided in the inner cavity 152, and a smooth inclined surface 156 is provided between the inner boss 155 and the outer circulation channel 151. The width of the inner boss 155 is greater than the width of the outer circulation channel 151, so that the medium passes through the inner boss 155 more smoothly. At the same time, an outer boss 157 is provided in the middle of the outer circulation channel 151. The outer boss 157 cooperates with the inner boss 151, so that the detection chip 3 can obtain more stable flow data. 4. The external circulation channel 151 has a vortex structure, and the turning angle from the inner port 153 of the external circulation channel 151 to the outer port 154 is 450°. Through multiple turns, laminar flow is facilitated, and the flow stability is improved. In addition, the vortex structure increases the channel utilization area while making the overall structure more compact and greatly reducing the space occupation. 5. The top of the detection chip 3 is flush with the surface of the PCB board 2. When the medium is flowing at high speed, it will generate a high Reynolds number and Nusselt number, which will lead to flow separation. The separated flow will reduce the performance of the sensor. By making the top of the detection chip 3 flush with the surface of the PCB board 2, the influence of the detection chip 3 on the medium in the inner cavity 152 can be avoided. 6. The guide channel 20 is provided with a positioning and mounting groove 22, and the positioning and mounting groove 22 is provided with a filter section 4, which can filter impurities (such as dust particles) in the medium.
