VEHICLE SENSOR WITH A PLURALITY OF LEAD WIRES

摘要

A sensor for a vehicle 1 is provided with a sensor element, plurality of lead wires electrically connected to the sensor element, a metallic cylindrical cover and a rubber bush positioned in a partial inner-space of a base end of the cylindrical cover. Radial contraction of the cylindrical cover and compression of bush, deforming the bush radially inward thereof, supports the leads wires inserted through each of the respective through-holes. The cylindrical cover is provided with a curved portion having a base end of which a whole circumferential edge is bent radially inward, thereby producing the curved portion opposing a rim of the bush in an axial direction.

1. A sensor for a vehicle, comprising:
a sensor element; a plurality of lead wires electrically connected to the sensor element; a metallic cylindrical cover provided with an inner space; the cylindrical cover having an axial direction which is along a central axis of the cylindrical cover, a radial direction which extends radially from the central axis, and a circumferential direction which is around the axial direction, the cylindrical cover having a front end and a base end in the axial direction; and a rubber bush arranged in a partial inner space of the cylindrical cover in the axial direction, the partial inner space being positioned on an inner side of the cylindrical cover in the axial direction; and the rubber bush being provided with a plurality of insertion holes, the plurality of lead wires being inserted through the respective insertion holes, wherein the lead wires inserted through the insertion holes are supported by radial contraction of the cylindrical cover at a portion close to a base end of the cylindrical cover, the bush is further provided with a rim which expands radially outward in the radial direction, and the cylindrical cover is provided with a curved portion having the base end of which whole circumferential edge is bent radially inward in the radial direction, thereby producing the curved portion and opposing the rim of the bush in the axial direction.
