Abstract
An air flow measuring device includes a housing, a sensing part, a temperature sensor, a supporting member, and a protective projection. The housing defines a bypass flow passage which guides a part of air flowing in a duct. The sensing part is disposed in the bypass flow passage to measure a flow rate of air in the bypass flow passage. The sensor detects temperature of air flowing in the duct outside the housing. The supporting member supports the sensor at a predetermined measurement position. The protective projection is a projection, which projects outward from a side surface of the housing and is formed by mold removal in one direction. An end of the protective projection is located outward of the sensor. The protective projection makes contact with an object approaching the sensor from outside the housing to limit contact of the object with the sensor.
