<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature sensor that reduce the possibility that a screw becomes loose even in environment in which the temperature sensor is exposed. <P>SOLUTION: A temperature sensor 1 is fixed to an exhaust pipe 100 by being tightened up to a female screw part 112 provided in a peripheral wall 101 of the exhaust pipe 100. The temperature sensor 1 measures the temperature of exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust pipe 100. The temperature sensor 1 includes a male screw part 81 to be tightened up to the female screw part 112 of the exhaust pipe 100. A slit 85 is formed in the screw thread 84 of the male screw part 81. The slit 85 is a grooved region recessed inward in a radial direction of the temperature slit 1 at the tip of the screw thread 84, and formed continuously in a direction in which the screw thread 84 extends. When the male screw part 81 is tightened up to the female screw part 112, the screw thread 84 of the male screw part 81 elastically deforms in a direction such that the slit 85 decreases in opening width. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
