Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the cover member 100 is a substantially tubular member having a U-shaped cross section, and can be coupled to the pipe connector by fitting over the pipe coupling portion PC. The cover member 100 includes a 1 st side surface portion 110, a 2 nd side surface portion 120, an outer surface portion 130, a cutout portion 140, and an engagement portion 150. The 1 st side surface portion 110 faces the 2 nd side surface portion 120, and the outer surface portion 130 is connected between the 1 st side surface portion 110 and the 2 nd side surface portion 120 in an arc shape. An opening O having a U-shaped cross section of the cover member 100 is formed between one side 110A of the 1 st side surface 110 and the side edge 120A of the 2 nd side surface 120, and the cover member 100 is fitted to the pipe coupling portion PC through the opening O when the cover member 100 is attached to the pipe connector. The cut-out portion 140 is formed in the 1 st side surface part 110 and extends from one side 110A of the 1 st side surface part 110 toward the outer surface part 130. As shown in fig. 1, the cut-out portion 140 is formed by removing material from a portion of the 1 st side surface portion 110, that is, the material from the portion 110A of the 1 st side surface portion 110 at the position where the opening O is formed, which extends to the outer surface portion 130 or a position near the outer surface portion 130. The engaging portion 150 is provided on the outer surface portion 130 and the 2 nd side surface portion 120 and protrudes from the inner wall surface 102 of the cover member 100. As shown in fig. 1, the engaging portion 150 is, for example, a projection provided on the inner wall surface 102 of the lid member 100, and projects from the inner wall surface 102 in a direction toward an imaginary center of the lid member 100, and the position of the projection corresponds to the positions on the outer surface portion 130 and the inner wall surface 102 of the 2 nd side surface portion 120.
The cover member 100 can be selectively coupled to the pipe connector in different positions by providing the notch 140 and the engaging portion 150 in the cover member 100, and thus the functionality of the cover member can be improved, the assembly operation can be simplified, and the productivity can be improved.
As shown in fig. 2, when the cover member 100 is fitted over the pipe joint PC of the fuel pipe of the internal combustion engine, the cover member 100 is attached to the pipe joint PC so as to cover a part of the fuel pipe P and a part of the sensor device S, and the sensor device S is disposed in the notch 140. Fig. 2 shows the sensor device S disposed on the cover member 100 in a vertical disposition posture. Specifically, when the 1 st side surface 110 (i.e., the surface on which the cutout 140 is formed) of the cover member 100 is defined as a reference surface and one surface of the sensor device S shown in fig. 2 is defined as a reference surface RS, the sensor device S is coupled to the cover member 100 in a vertical arrangement posture in which the reference surface RS (located substantially on the XZ plane of fig. 2) is perpendicular to the reference surface (located substantially on the XY plane of fig. 2). The attachment portion of the sensor device S is provided in the notch portion 140, and the sensor device S and the cover member 100 can be fixed to each other.
In this way, by disposing the sensor device S in the notch portion 140, the notch portion 140 can be designed to avoid interference, and by providing the engaging portion 150, the cover member 100 can be prevented from rotating with respect to the pipe joint PC.
Through the arrangement of the cutout portion 140, the cover member 100 can be selectively coupled to the tubing connector in different arrangement postures. Referring to fig. 3, all the components shown in fig. 3 are the same as those shown in fig. 2, except for the relative positions of the sensor device S and the cover member 100 after they are combined. As shown in fig. 3, when the cover member 100 is fitted over the pipe joint PC of the fuel pipe of the internal combustion engine, the cover member 100 is attached to the pipe joint PC so as to cover a part of the fuel pipe P and a part of the sensor device S, and the sensor device S is disposed in the notch 140. Unlike the case shown in fig. 2, the sensor device S is arranged in the cover member 100 in a horizontal arrangement posture in fig. 3. Specifically, the sensor device S is coupled to the cover member 100 in a horizontally disposed posture in which a reference plane RS (located substantially on the XY plane in fig. 3) is substantially parallel to the reference plane (located substantially on the XY plane in fig. 3). The attachment portion of the sensor device S is provided in the notch portion 140, and the sensor device S and the cover member 100 can be fixed to each other.
As described above, the cover member 100 of the present embodiment can be coupled to the cover member in a vertical disposition posture in which the sensor device S is perpendicular to the cover member 100, and also in a horizontal disposition posture in which the sensor device S is parallel to the cover member 100, by disposing the notch 140. Since the cover member 100 and the sensor device S are fixed to each other in either the vertical arrangement posture or the horizontal arrangement posture without any structural interference, when the coupling between the sensor device S and the cover member 100 is to be changed, the sensor device S can be mounted in different arrangement postures without adding additional components, and the assembly work between the cover member and the pipe connector can be simplified.
Referring to fig. 4, after the sensor device S and the cover member 100 are fixed to each other by disposing the sensor device S in the notch 140, the sensor device S is also engaged with an engaging portion 150 provided on the inner wall surface 102 of the cover member 100 in order to prevent the cover member 100 from rotating with respect to the pipe coupling portion PC. As shown in fig. 4, the engagement portion 140 is provided so as to protrude from the inner wall surface 102 of the cover member 100, and when the sensor device S is engaged with the engagement portion 150, both ends 150A and 150B of the engagement portion 150 are engaged with the sensor device S, so that the sensor device S can be fixed to the cover member 100 in the vertical arrangement posture, and the sensor device S can be fixed to the cover member 100 in the horizontal arrangement posture, and the cover member 100 can be reliably prevented from rotating with respect to the pipe coupling portion PC. Thus, by providing the notch 140 and the engaging portion 150, the lid member 100 can be shared between the vertical arrangement posture and the horizontal arrangement posture, the number of necessary components can be reduced, and the functionality of the lid member 100 can be improved.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the lattice-shaped ribs R may be formed on the outer wall surface 104 of the cover member 100. In other words, the lattice-shaped ribs R are formed on the outer surface of the cover member 100 to improve the structural strength of the cover member 100. In this way, the lattice-shaped ribs R are formed on the outer wall surface 104 of the lid member 100, so that the lattice-shaped ribs R are provided under the condition of effectively utilizing the space, and the strength of the lid member 100 can be effectively improved.
As described above, the cover member 100 according to the present embodiment can couple the sensor device S to the cover member 100 in a vertical disposition posture perpendicular to the cover member 100 or in a horizontal disposition posture parallel to the cover member 100, via the disposition of the notch 140. Since the cover member 100 and the sensor device S are fixed to each other in either the vertical arrangement posture or the horizontal arrangement posture without any structural interference, when the coupling manner between the sensor device S and the cover member 100 is changed, the sensor device S can be mounted in different arrangement postures without adding additional components, so that the assembly work between the cover member and the pipe connector can be simplified, the production efficiency can be improved, and the assembly process can be simplified. Further, by providing the lattice-shaped ribs R on the outer surface of the lid member 100, the strength of the lid member 100 of the present invention can be improved while effectively utilizing the space.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the scope of the embodiments of the present invention, and the essence of the corresponding technical solutions is not disclosed.
