Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A MEMS sensor is disclosed. The MEMS sensor includes a housing having an acoustic port, a base plate forming an accommodation cavity together with the housing, a MEMS chip accommodated in the accommodation cavity, and a control mechanism having a first working position and a second working position. At the first working position, the acoustic port communicates the accommodation cavity with an external space of the housing, while at the second working position, the control mechanism isolates the accommodation cavity from the external space of the housing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A MEMS sensor, comprising: a housing having an acoustic port; a base plate forming an accommodation cavity together with the housing; a MEMS chip accommodated in the accommodation cavity; a control mechanism having a first working position and a second working position; wherein at the first working position, the acoustic port communicates the accommodation cavity with an external space of the housing, while at the second working position, the control mechanism isolates the accommodation cavity from the external space of the housing; the control mechanism comprising a first control mechanism disposed on an external surface of the housing and a second control mechanism disposed on an internal surface of the housing; the first control mechanism comprising a first control panel, and the second control mechanism comprising a second control panel, both the first control panel and the second control panel rotatably connected to the housing, and both a position where the first control panel is connected to the housing and a position where the second control panel is connected to the housing being at the same side of the acoustic port. 2. The MEMS sensor as described in claim 1 , wherein both a position where the first control panel is connected to the housing and a position where the second control panel is connected to the housing are at the same side of the acoustic port near the MEMS chip. 3. The MEMS sensor as described in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first control panel and the second control panel is a rigid elastic piece. 4. The MEMS sensor as described in claim 1 , wherein the MEMS chip is a pressure sensor.
