Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a pressure detection device including a pressure detection unit configured to detect a pressure to be transmitted to a pressure sensor, and a flow channel unit on which the pressure detection unit is disposed. The pressure detection unit) includes a pressure sensor and a conductive protective film disposed in contact with the pressure sensor, the conductive protective film breaking contact between the pressure sensor and a fluid. The conductive protective film is formed of a conductive fluororesin material including a fluororesin material and a conductive material dispersed in the fluororesin material and is connected to a ground portion maintained at a ground potential.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A pressure detection device comprising: a pressure detection unit configured to detect a pressure to be transmitted to a pressure detection portion; and a flow channel unit having a flow channel formed therein, the pressure detection unit being disposed on the flow channel unit, wherein the pressure detection unit includes: the pressure detection portion; and a thin film protective portion disposed in contact with the pressure detection portion, the thin film protective portion breaking contact between the pressure detection portion and a fluid, and wherein the thin film protective portion is formed of a conductive fluororesin material including a fluororesin material and a conductive material dispersed in the fluororesin material, and is connected to a ground portion maintained at a ground potential. 2. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive material is carbon nanotubes, and wherein the conductive fluororesin material contains the carbon nanotubes at a rate of 0.020 weight % to 0.030 weight %. 3. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure detection portion includes: a thin film diaphragm including a first surface in contact with the thin film protective portion; and a resistor attached to a second surface of the thin film diaphragm, the second surface of the thin film diaphragm being not in contact with the thin film protective portion, and wherein the thin film diaphragm is formed of a non-conductive material. 4. The pressure detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the pressure detection portion includes: a thin film diaphragm including a first surface in contact with the thin film protective portion; and a resistor attached to a second surface of the thin film diaphragm, the second surface of the thin film diaphragm being not in contact with the thin film protective portion, and wherein the thin film diaphragm is formed of a non-conductive material.
