Sensor device for detecting at least one flow property of a fluid medium
First Claim
1. A sensor device for detecting at least one flow property of an air flow in one of an intake tract or a charge air tract of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- at least one sensor housing introduced into the air flow, the sensor housing having at least one housing body, at least one cover, and at least one channel through which the air flows;
a sensor element for detecting the at least one flow property, the sensor element being held on a top side of a carrier, the carrier being situated at least partially in the at least one channel, wherein the carrier has a cross section which becomes wider in parallel with a main flow direction of the air flow at the location of the sensor element in a sectional plane in parallel to the main flow direction of the air flow in the channel.

Abstract
A sensor device for detecting a flow property of fluid medium, e.g., an air flow in the intake tract or the charge air tract of an internal combustion engine, includes: a sensor housing introduced into the air flow and having at least one housing body, at least one cover, and at least one channel through which the fluid medium flows; a sensor element for detecting the flow property, the sensor element being held on a top side of a carrier. The carrier is situated at least partially in the channel and has a cross section which becomes wider in parallel with the main flow direction of the fluid medium at the location of the sensor element in a sectional plane in parallel to the main flow direction of the fluid medium in the channel.
