Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the volume of the flowable filler 7 changes depending on the temperature due to heating and cooling of bath water. Further, this type of pressure sensor is often provided in the return pipe of the circulation pump among the pipes 1 communicating with the bathtub,
Negative pressure is applied during operation of the circulation pump, and when the circulation pump stops, the negative pressure decreases and pressure increases. As described above, when a change in temperature and a change in pressure are applied to the fluid filler 7, the volume of the fluid filler expands and contracts. When this operation is repeated, the fluid filling material 7 comes out of the pressure transmission chamber 6, dust is clogged inside, or the pressure sensor portion is broken due to freezing, so that the function as the pressure sensor is reduced. There is a fear.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. In FIG. 1, the same parts as those in FIG. 4 are designated by the same reference numerals, detailed description thereof will be omitted, and different parts will be mainly described. One end of the resin lid 9 has an open straight pipe portion 14, and this straight pipe portion 14 is eccentric to the center of the resin lid 9 in the upper direction, and
The straight pipe portion 14 is located above the pressure introducing port 4 of the pressure sensor 3 fixed to the resin element support body 5, and the resin lid 9 is attached to the resin element support body 5 A pressure transmission chamber 6 is formed by sealing with ultrasonic welding at a guide portion 17 shown in the figure.

Here, since the resin lid 9 and the resin element support 5 are completely sealed by ultrasonic welding, for example, once the fluid filler 7 is injected in a vacuum after the welding, the Trichery's theorem is obtained. As a result, the airtightness of the surroundings is ensured, so no leakage occurs at the same temperature and pressure. Of course, if the sealing of the ultrasonic welded portion is incomplete, pressure leaks from the incompletely sealed portion, and as a result, the fluid filler 7 flows out, so the ultrasonic welding is performed reliably.

Now, when the fluid filler 7 expands due to the heating of the bath water and the operation of the circulation pump, the fluid filler 7 made of fluorine oil is more likely to be used than the resin element support 5 and the resin lid 9.
Since the amount of expansion is large, the flowable filler will flow out by the amount of expansion. Furthermore, when the bath water is cooled and the operation of the circulation pump is stopped, air or water enters the place where the fluid filler 7 has escaped. In this way, the fluid filler 7 in the pressure transmission chamber 6 escapes due to expansion and contraction, but since it is a fluid filler having a specific gravity heavier than water, air flows below the line A shown in FIG. Or water does not enter. That is, the fluid filler 7 (for example, fluorine oil) having electrical insulation always remains below the portion A.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 is an enlarged main section of the pressure sensor 3, and 18 is a silicon wafer composed of a piezo element. After converting strain into change in resistance, temperature characteristics and pressure characteristics are corrected by the circuit 11, The pressure and the output (V) have a linearity. 19 is an electrical insulator made of Pyrex or the like, and the silicon wafer 18 made of a piezo element is electrically insulated from the pressure inlet 4 via the electrical insulator 19, and is sealed by applying voltage and pressure. It secures sex. Here, when the silicon wafer 18 made of a piezo element is interposed with an electrical insulator 19, the piezo element 18
As long as water does not penetrate to the surface of the, electrical insulation is secured. Generally, many combustion devices that burn gas have a flame rod circuit in the combustion detection circuit,
This combustion detection circuit is often grounded to the main body, and even if 200 V is applied to this frame rod circuit, if the circuit is formed to the pressure sensor circuit 11 via the pressure sensor 3, the combustion detection circuit May become unstable, and sometimes malfunctions that lead to misfire may occur. In a configuration in which the piezo element 18 and the pressure introducing port 4 are electrically connected to each other, such a phenomenon causes a malfunction when the pressure introducing port 4 and the pipe 1 are seen to be electrically connected. On the other hand, when the pressure introduction port 4 and the Piazo element 18 are electrically insulated as in the present invention, the pressure introduction port 4 itself is always covered with a fluid filler having electrical insulation. Therefore, no malfunction occurs. Further, the fluorine oil used in this embodiment is water repellent and has an effect that it is difficult for the scale and dust to enter the straight pipe portion 14 and the pressure transmission chamber 6. Also, when using a fluorine oil that is heavier than water, it is difficult to replace the fluorine oil with water. That is, even if water and fluorine oil are put into a beaker and mixed and stirred, the separability is good and the water does not dissolve in the fluorine oil, and there is a characteristic that fluorine oil heavier than water is precipitated in the lower portion of the beaker, so that the constitution of the present invention In, it is more difficult to replace.

Of course, since the fluorine oil is electrically insulated and does not freeze even at a low temperature, it is possible to prevent the pressure sensor from being broken, and the corrosion due to the ionization tendency can be prevented as much as the pressure inlet is electrically insulated. Reference numeral 24 is an O-ring, which seals the sensor mount 2 and the resin element support 5.
