Research on Cantilever Used for Thermal Flow Meter as Switch

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to reduce consumption of thermal flow meter and prolong its working life, this article makes a research on cantilever switch, which control the circuit and save its energy. A cantilever was added into flow meter and was put into the air flow aisle in front of sensors. Process was designed and nanoimprint method was used to realize cantilever. The device was simulated and the effect on reducing consumption was certified, which has great significance on thermal flow meter.
