ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF SENSOR FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND CAM CAP COMPONENT

摘要

A receiving portion 13 and a base of a cam cap component 8 are molded in one piece and firmly integrated. The base 12 functions as a cam cap. Accordingly, the position of a cam angle sensor 2 attached to the receiving portion 13 relative to a rotor 6 attached to an intake camshaft 4 is firmly and accurately determined. Deformation and vibration of a cylinder head cover 20, which are likely to occur since the cylinder head cover 20 is made of resin, are absorbed by a gasket 24 between an opening 22 of the cylinder head cover 20 and a sleeve 14. The deformation and vibration are therefore prevented from adversely influencing the positions of the sleeve 14 and the cam angle sensor 2. Therefore, the cam angle sensor 2 is capable of accurately detecting the cam angle without being influenced by vibrations and deformation of the cylinder head cover 20.
