Sensor mounting structure for mounting pressure sensor to measure pressure of fuel contained in pressure compensation container of suction line in combustion engine of vehicle, has positioning part arranged on outer surface of suction line

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The structure has a fixing element (30) arranged on an outer surface of a suction line (10) and firmly engaged with a pressure sensor (50) over an attaching unit i.e. metal screw (34), so that the sensor is secured on the line over the fixing element. A positioning part is arranged on the line outer surface. A gap is formed between the sensor and the positioning part, so that the sensor and the positioning part are not in contact with fastening direction by the attaching unit that is formed by a threaded element. A mounting flange (12) is connected with a combustion engine (100). #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Sensor mounting structure for mounting a pressure sensor utilized to measure pressure of fuel contained in a pressure compensation container of a suction line utilized to introduce ambient air into a combustion engine (claimed) of a vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The fixing element is arranged on the outer surface of the suction line and firmly engaged with the pressure sensor over the attaching unit, so that the sensor is secured on the line over the fixing element, thus reducing required number of components and steps for fastening the sensor, and hence minimizing manufacturing cost of the sensor mounting structure. The positioning part is arranged on the outer surface of the suction line, so that the sensor is prevented from being rotated around the attaching unit. The gap is formed between the sensor and the positioning part, so that the sensor and the positioning part are not in contact with the fastening direction, thus reducing operation fault and operation disturbance of the sensor. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of a suction line mounted to a combustion engine. 10 : Suction line 12 : Mounting flange 30 : Fixing element 34 : Metal screw 50 : Pressure sensor 100 : Combustion engine.
