The application discloses a resistance type
airflow sensor, comprising: a front shell; a rear shell clamped at the rear end of the front shell; and a sensing element packaged between the front shell and the rear shell, wherein the sensing element comprises a hard plate base material and a sensing
chip, the hard plate base material is fixedly installed with the front shell, the sensing
chip is fixedly installed with the rear shell, one side of the hard plate base material is provided with a sensitive membrane, and the sensing
chip is connected with the sensitive membrane through a wire harness. The protective plate is arranged on the front shell and the rear shell, the fan-shaped rubber pieces on the inner wall of the protective plate are mutually adsorbed and closed through rubber magnetic strips in the absence of
airflow, a barrier is formed, and particulate matters and condensate in the
airflow are effectively blocked from directly contacting the sensitive membrane; when the airflow passes, the airflow pressure pushes away the rubber pieces, allows the airflow to pass, but blocks most of the pollutants, thereby protecting the sensitive membrane from being polluted, ensuring long-term stability and accuracy of the sensor; meanwhile, the protective plate is connected with the groove through a threaded ring, is convenient to disassemble and clean, and maintenance convenience is improved.
