Description

本発明は、圧力センサに関し、特に圧力検出素子を防水ケースなどで覆い使用する圧力センサに関する。 The present invention relates to a pressure sensor, and more particularly to a pressure sensor in which a pressure detection element is covered with a waterproof case or the like.

従来から流体の圧力を検出する圧力センサとして、例えば液封型の圧力センサが知られている。 As a pressure sensor that detects the pressure of a fluid, for example, a liquid-sealed pressure sensor is conventionally known.

液封型の圧力センサは、圧力検出される流体を圧力室に供給する流体供給部と、圧力室の流体の圧力を検出する圧力検出部と、圧力検出部で検出された圧力信号を外部に送出する信号送出部と、流体供給部、圧力検出部、及び、信号送出部を覆う外表面部材から構成される。 The liquid-sealed pressure sensor has a fluid supply unit that supplies the pressure-detected fluid to the pressure chamber, a pressure detection unit that detects the pressure of the fluid in the pressure chamber, and a pressure signal detected by the pressure detection unit to the outside. It is composed of a signal transmission unit to be transmitted, a fluid supply unit, a pressure detection unit, and an outer surface member covering the signal transmission unit.

外表面部材は、例えば、略円筒形状で圧力検出部及び信号送出部の周囲を覆う防水ケースと、端子台の上部に被される端子台キャップと、防水ケースの内周面とハウジングの外周面及び端子台の外周面との間を充填する封止剤とを主に備える。 The outer surface member is, for example, a waterproof case that has a substantially cylindrical shape and covers the circumference of the pressure detection unit and the signal transmission unit, a terminal block cap that covers the upper part of the terminal block, an inner peripheral surface of the waterproof case, and an outer peripheral surface of the housing. And a sealant that fills the space between the terminal block and the outer peripheral surface thereof is mainly provided.

特開２００１−１１６６３９号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-116639 特開２００４−３７３８８号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-37388

このような、圧力検出素子を防水ケースや封止剤で覆い、圧力検出素子に配線が接続される圧力センサでは、使用環境により、水分が製品樹脂内に透過し、製品の絶縁抵抗が低下することがある。また、絶縁抵抗の低下が更に進行すると、回路短絡を起こす可能性もある。これは、防水ケース等を透過した水と、プリント配線板上のハロゲンイオンにより、金属イオンの移行が起こり、このイオンが電子と結合し、再び金属化することにより新たな電流路が形成されることが原因である。 In such a pressure sensor in which the pressure detection element is covered with a waterproof case or a sealing agent and the wiring is connected to the pressure detection element, moisture permeates into the product resin depending on the usage environment, and the insulation resistance of the product decreases. Sometimes. Further, if the insulation resistance is further reduced, a circuit short circuit may occur. This is because the water that has passed through the waterproof case and the halogen ions on the printed wiring board cause the transfer of metal ions, and these ions combine with the electrons and metallize again to form a new current path. Is the cause.

このような、防水性能を測定する試験としてＰＣＴ試験（プレッシャークッカ試験）が知られており、樹脂封止された電子部品などの耐湿性の評価に使用されている。プレッシャークッカ試験は１００℃以上で、かつ高密度な水蒸気雰囲気を再現し、試験槽内の水蒸気圧力を製品の内部の水蒸気分圧よりも極端に高めることにより、製品の内部への水分の浸入を時間的に短縮することができ、電子部品材料の耐湿評価の加速寿命試験に使用される。 The PCT test (pressure cooker test) is known as a test for measuring such waterproof performance, and is used for evaluating the moisture resistance of resin-sealed electronic parts and the like. The pressure cooker test reproduces a high-density water vapor atmosphere at 100 ° C or higher, and by making the water vapor pressure in the test tank extremely higher than the partial pressure of water vapor inside the product, the infiltration of water into the product is prevented. It can be shortened in time and is used for accelerated life test of moisture resistance evaluation of electronic component materials.

以上のような防水性能を高める手段としては、例えば、ケースを頑強にするなどの方法も考えられるが、コストが上がる、内部に部品を設置する製造工数が嵩むなどの問題がある。また、特許文献１には、半導体圧力センサにおいて、樹脂ケース内にセンサチップなどを配置した後、軟質なゲル状コーティング樹脂を充填して、樹脂ケース内に空気、湿気の侵入などを防止する発明が記載されているが、上述のＰＣＴ試験のような室外での過酷な環境には対応できない。また、特許文献２には、センサハウジングの表面に、電気的な絶縁性を有する絶縁膜がコーティングされる圧力センサの発明が記載されているが、コーティングされた絶縁膜の防水性能については、記載されていない。 As a means for improving the waterproof performance as described above, for example, a method of making the case robust is conceivable, but there are problems such as an increase in cost and an increase in manufacturing man-hours for installing parts inside. Further, Patent Document 1 describes an invention in which a sensor chip or the like is placed in a resin case of a semiconductor pressure sensor and then filled with a soft gel-like coating resin to prevent air or moisture from entering the resin case. However, it cannot cope with a harsh outdoor environment such as the PCT test described above. Further, Patent Document 2 describes an invention of a pressure sensor in which an insulating film having an electrically insulating property is coated on the surface of a sensor housing, but the waterproof performance of the coated insulating film is described. It has not been.

したがって、本発明は、圧力検出素子を防水ケースなどで覆い使用する圧力センサにおいて、ＰＣＴ試験など、過酷な防水性能要求を満足できる圧力センサを提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pressure sensor in which a pressure detection element is covered with a waterproof case or the like and used, which can satisfy strict waterproof performance requirements such as a PCT test.

In a pressure sensor including a waterproof case for accommodating the plurality of electric wires inside and a sealing agent filled in the inner peripheral portion of the waterproof case, the waterproof case and the sealing agent covering the outer peripheral surface of the pressure sensor. The coating agent further comprises a coating agent having a lower water vapor permeability than any of the above, and the above coating agent has higher water repellency than any of the above waterproof case and the above encapsulant covering the outer peripheral surface of the pressure sensor . wherein the covering all of the outer peripheral surface of the upper Kifutome agent and the waterproof case.

In the present embodiment, the terminal block cap 142 is formed in a shape that closes the upper portion of the above-mentioned cylindrical terminal block 131, and is covered on the upper portion of the terminal block 131 before being filled with the sealing agent 143 such as urethane resin. Will be done. However, the terminal block cap 142 is not limited to this shape, and may be formed in a shape that integrally closes the upper portion of the terminal block 131 and the upper portion of the waterproof case 141, and may be covered after being filled with the sealant 143. Alternatively, a new lid member is provided separately from the terminal block cap 142, and after the terminal block cap 142 and the sealing agent 143 are arranged, the new lid member is covered on the upper part of the waterproof case 141. Good.

防水ケース１４１は、樹脂材料、例えば、ポリブチレンテレフタレート（ＰＢＴ）により略円筒形状に形成され、円筒形状の下端部には、内側に向かうフランジ部が設けられている。このフランジ部には、防水ケース１４１の上部の開口部から挿入された信号送出部１３０及び圧力検出部１２０が接続された流体導入部１１０のベースプレート１１２の外周部が当接する。この状態で封止剤１４３を充填することにより圧力検出部１２０等の内部の部品が固定される。 The waterproof case 141 is formed of a resin material, for example, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) into a substantially cylindrical shape, and a flange portion facing inward is provided at a lower end portion of the cylindrical shape. The outer peripheral portion of the base plate 112 of the fluid introduction portion 110 to which the signal transmission portion 130 and the pressure detection portion 120 inserted through the opening at the upper part of the waterproof case 141 are in contact with the flange portion. By filling the sealant 143 in this state, internal parts such as the pressure detection unit 120 are fixed.

図１に示す本発明の圧力センサ１００では、防水ケース１４１、端子台キャップ１４２、及び、封止剤１４３を含む圧力センサ１００の外周面の全面が均一にコーティング剤１４４でコーティングされる。なお、金属部品である継手部材１１１、及び、ベースプレート１１２などには、コーティング剤１４４をコーティングする必要はない。コーティング剤としては、防水ケース１４１及び封止剤１４３のいずれかよりも水蒸気透過度が低いコーティング剤を使用すると良い。なお、例えばＰＢＴで形成された防水ケース１４１の水蒸気透過度は１．２ｇ・ｍｍ／ｍ２・２４ｈであり、ウレタン系樹脂の封止剤１４３の水蒸気透過度は７ｇ・ｍｍ／ｍ２・２４ｈである。具体的なコーティング剤の種類としては、フッ素系樹脂を含む、例えば、フロロサーフ（登録商標）などのコーティング剤が使用可能であるが、これには限定されない。フッ素系樹脂のコーティング剤１４４は、ポリマー系などの他のコーティング剤と比較して、難付着性、撥水性・撥油性、耐熱性、耐磨耗性などの性能が優れている。In the pressure sensor 100 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the entire outer peripheral surface of the pressure sensor 100 including the waterproof case 141, the terminal block cap 142, and the sealing agent 143 is uniformly coated with the coating agent 144. It is not necessary to coat the joint member 111, the base plate 112, and the like, which are metal parts, with the coating agent 144. As the coating agent, it is preferable to use a coating agent having a lower water vapor permeability than either the waterproof case 141 or the sealing agent 143. Incidentally, for example, water vapor permeability of the waterproof case 141 formed with PBT is 1.2g · mm / m 2 · 24h , water vapor permeability of the sealant 143 of the urethane resin is 7g · mm / m 2 · 24h Is. As a specific type of coating agent, a coating agent containing, for example, Fluorosurf (registered trademark) containing a fluororesin can be used, but the coating agent is not limited thereto. The fluororesin coating agent 144 is superior in performance such as resistance to adhesion, water repellency / oil repellency, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance as compared with other coating agents such as polymers.

このような、フッ素系樹脂を含むコーティング剤１４４を圧力センサ１００の外周面の全面に均一にコーティングしてＰＣＴ試験を行った。試験条件としては、コーティング剤１４４として、フロロサーフ（ＦＧ−３０５０シリーズ）（登録商標）を、膜圧１２０μｍで塗布し、１１０℃、１．４気圧の、高温の水蒸気ガスが充満する環境に放置する等の試験条件が考えられる。 A PCT test was conducted by uniformly coating the entire outer peripheral surface of the pressure sensor 100 with such a coating agent 144 containing a fluororesin. As a test condition, as a coating agent 144, Fluorosurf (FG-3050 series) (registered trademark) is applied at a film pressure of 120 μm and left in an environment filled with high-temperature water vapor gas at 110 ° C. and 1.4 atm. And other test conditions are conceivable.

図３は、本発明のコーティング対策の効果を示す模式図である。
図３に示す横軸は耐久時間（ｈ）を示し、縦軸は絶縁耐圧（ＭΩ）を示す。図３に示すように、コーティング剤が有る場合は、コーティング剤が無い場合と比較して、絶縁耐圧（ここでは１０００ＭΩ）を確保できる耐久時間が長くなることがわかる。FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the effect of the coating measures of the present invention.
The horizontal axis shown in FIG. 3 indicates the endurance time (h), and the vertical axis indicates the dielectric strength (MΩ). As shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that when the coating agent is present, the durability time during which the dielectric strength (here, 1000 MΩ) can be secured is longer than when the coating agent is not present.

また、上述のようにフッ素系樹脂のコーティング剤１４４のように撥水性を有するコーティング剤を使用すると水が付着するような環境において、水との接触面積が小さくなるため、防水性能が更に向上する。 Further, when a water-repellent coating agent such as the fluorine-based resin coating agent 144 is used as described above, the contact area with water becomes smaller in an environment where water adheres, so that the waterproof performance is further improved. ..

なお、本実施形態では、圧力センサの一例として、液封形の圧力センサ１００を例にとり説明したが、これには限定されず、本発明は、防水ケースなどの樹脂で防水機能を確保する全ての圧力センサに適用可能である。 In the present embodiment, the liquid-sealed pressure sensor 100 has been described as an example of the pressure sensor, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is all that secure the waterproof function with a resin such as a waterproof case. It is applicable to the pressure sensor of.

Similar components are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

図２において、液封型の圧力センサ２００では、コーティング剤２４４が防水ケース２４１の上部の開口部に配置された封止剤２４３及び端子台キャップ２４２の上面のみにコーティングされる。コーティング剤２４４としては、第１の実施形態と同様に、フッ素系樹脂を含むコーティング剤が使用される。これにより、第１の実施形態の圧力センサ１００と同等かそれに近い性能が期待できる。 In FIG. 2, in the liquid-sealed pressure sensor 200, the coating agent 244 is coated only on the upper surface of the sealant 243 and the terminal block cap 242 arranged in the upper opening of the waterproof case 241. As the coating agent 244, a coating agent containing a fluororesin is used as in the first embodiment. As a result, performance equivalent to or close to that of the pressure sensor 100 of the first embodiment can be expected.

以上のように本発明の第２の実施形態によれば、第１の実施形態の圧力センサと同等の効果があり、更に、第１の実施形態の圧力センサと比較してコストを抑制できるという効果がある。 As described above, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the effect is equivalent to that of the pressure sensor of the first embodiment, and the cost can be suppressed as compared with the pressure sensor of the first embodiment. effective.

以上説明したように、本発明の圧力センサによれば、圧力検出素子を防水ケースなどで覆い使用する圧力センサにおいて、ＰＣＴ試験など、過酷な防水性能要求を満足できる。 As described above, according to the pressure sensor of the present invention, a pressure sensor in which the pressure detection element is covered with a waterproof case or the like can satisfy strict waterproof performance requirements such as a PCT test.
