Description
This invention relates to a sensor mounting structure for
an engine. In preferred examples, a sensor is mounted to an
outer wall of a crankcase.
A conventional sensor mounting structure for an engine is
disclosed in JP-A-Hei 6-288329. According to the publication,
the engine has a crankcase, a crankshaft supported with the
crankcase to rotate around an axis extending approximately
in the horizontal direction, a cylinder supported on a top
of the crankcase, and a sensor mounted to an outer wall of
the crankcase for detecting engine driving conditions.
The sensor, a crank angle detecting sensor, is mounted to
the outer wall of the crankcase above the axis of the
crankshaft. The sensor includes a protrusion that protrudes
outward from the outer wall of the crankcase. The protrusion
of the sensor is provided in a space between an outer surface
of the crankcase and an inner surface of a flywheel fixedly
attached to an end of the crankshaft.
In the engine driving, the sensor detects a crank angle and
ignition timing is determined generally based on the output
signal so that the engine can obtain a desired driving
condition.
The sensor described in the above prior art is mounted to
the outer wall of the crankcase above the axis of the
crankshaft. This results in the sensor being placed closer
to the outer wall of the cylinder. In addition to that, the
protrusion of the sensor protrudes outward from the outer wall
of the crankcase, facing the cylinder.
The cylinder is heated to high temperature due to the engine driving. In an area adjacent to the outer side of the crankcase and the cylinder, exhaust pipes extending from the cylinder are generally provided. The protrusion of the sensor faces the exhaust pipes which are also heated to high temperature. This causes the protrusion of the sensor to tend to be subjected to high radiant heat generated by the cylinder and the exhaust pipes, which may involve a problem with sensor service life.
The cylinder is heated to high temperature due to the engine driving. In an area adjacent to the outer side of the crankcase and the cylinder, exhaust pipes extending from the cylinder are generally provided. The protrusion of the sensor faces the exhaust pipes which are also heated to high temperature. This causes the protrusion of the sensor to tend to be subjected to high radiant heat generated by the cylinder and the exhaust pipes, which may involve a problem with sensor service life.
The sensor described in the prior art is also covered from
the outside with the flywheel, which interferers with works
including mounting of the sensor to the crankcase and sensor
maintenance. This causes these works to be more complicated.
This invention is made in view of the preceding
circumstances, and the object of examples is to provide a
sensor mounting structure to prevent the sensor mounted to
the outer wall of the crankcase from being subjected to radiant
heat generated by the cylinder and the exhaust pipes, and to
facilitate works including mounting of the sensor to the
crankcase and the sensor maintenance.

The invention extends to methods and/or apparatus
substantially as herein described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
Any feature in one aspect of the invention may be applied
to other aspects of the invention, in any appropriate
combination. In particular, method aspects may be applied
to apparatus aspects, and vice versa.
Preferred features of the present invention will now be
described, purely by way of example, with reference to the
accompanying drawings, in which:
In the drawings, reference numeral 1 designates a
multi-cylinder (four-cylinder) four-cycle engine (internal
combustion engine) mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile.
The engine 1 has a crankcase 2 supported on a vehicle body,
a crankshaft 4 supported with the crankcase 2 to rotate around
an axis 3 extending approximately in the horizontal direction,
a cylinder 6 integrally attached to and supported with the
top of the crankcase 2, an oil pan 8 attached to and supported
with the bottom of the crankcase 2, intake pipes 9 extending
outward in the radial direction of the crankshaft 4 from one
side of the cylinder 6, and exhaust pipes 10 extending outward
from the other side of the cylinder 6 and then extending
downward.
The exhaust pipes 10 each have an extending portion provided
across an area adjacent to the outer side of the other side
of the cylinder 6, and an area adjacent to the outer side of
the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 and continuing below the
other side of the cylinder 6. The extending portions of the
respective exhaust pipes 10 are provided in the axial
direction of the crankshaft 4 in an area adjacent to the outer
side of an approximate midsection between the crankcase 2 and
the cylinder 6.
The crankcase 2 includes an upper case 13 and a lower case
14 which are separated approximately relative to the axis 3
of the crankshaft 4. The crankshaft 4 is supported between
the upper case 13 and the lower case 14. The lower case 14
is a bulkhead or rudder frame. The outer wall 11 of the lower
case 14 comprises a vertical wall 16 extending vertically,
upper and lower outward flanges 17 and 18 integrally formed
with upper and lower edges of the vertical wall 16 respectively,
an edge outward flange 19 integrally formed with an edge of
the vertical wall 16 in the axial direction of the crankshaft
4, and plural ribs 20 integrally formed with the outer surface
of the vertical wall 16 and vertically extending to reinforce
the vertical wall 16.
The bottom of the upper case 13 and the upper outward flange
17 of the lower case 14 are fastened to each other with a
fastener 22. To the lower outward flange 18 of the lower case
14 is fastened a top of the oil pan 8 with a fastener 23 so
that the oil pan 8 is supported with the bottom of the crankcase
2.
The engine 1 comprises a sensor 25 mounted to the outer wall
11 of the crankcase 2 with a fastener 24 for detecting engine
driving conditions, and a disc-shaped detected element 26 to
be detected by the sensor 25, which rotates with the crankshaft
4. The sensor 25, a crank angle detecting sensor, uses a
magnetic sensor or an optical sensor. On an outer
circumferential surface of the detected element 26 are formed
multiple detected teeth. When the detected element 26
rotates with the crankshaft 4, the sensor 25 outputs an
electrical pulse signal as a detection signal every time each
detected tooth approaches the sensor 25. In other words, the
sensor 25 outputs a crankshaft angle detection signal.
Ignition timing is determined based on the detection signal,
which allows the engine 1 to be driven under desired
conditions.
The sensor 25 is mounted to the vertical wall 16 of the outer
wall 11 of the lower case 14 provided below the axis 3 of the
crankshaft 4. The sensor 25 is mounted to the end on the edge
outer flange 19 in the axial direction of the crankshaft 4.
The sensor 25 includes a protrusion 25a protruding outward
from the vertical wall 16 of the outer wall 11 of the lower
case 14.
A cover member 29 for covering the protrusion 25a of the
sensor 25 from the outside is integrally formed to protrude
outward from the outer wall 11 of the lower case 14 in the
direction along the outer surface of the outer wall 11 of the
crankcase 2.
The cover member 29 comprises upper and lower cover members
30 and 31 formed by integrally extending outer peripheries
of the upper and lower outward flanges 17 and 18 outward from
the lower case 14 of the crankcase 2, and a side cover member
32 formed by extending an outer periphery of one of the ribs
20, which is adjacent to the edge outward flange 19 in the
axial direction of the crankshaft 4.
The sensor 25 is provided in a space 33 enclosed by the edge
outward flange 19, the upper cover member 30, the lower cover
member 31, and the side cover member 32. The space 33 is opened
to the outside of the lower case 14 of the crankcase 2. The
sensor 25 can be inserted in the space 33 through its opening.
The space 33 is used as a part of the working space to mount
the sensor 25 to the lower case 14 and maintain the sensor
25.
According to the structure described above, the sensor 25
is mounted to the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 below the
axis 3 of the crankshaft 4.
This allows the sensor 25 to be placed apart from and further
below the cylinder 6 heated to high temperature, which differs
from the conventional art in which the sensor 25 is mounted
to the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 above the axis 3 of
the crankshaft 4. The protrusion 25a of the sensor 25 is
therefore prevented from being subjected to radiant heat
generated by the cylinder 6, which is preferable to the sensor
25 for its service life.
The cover member 29 for covering at least a part of the
sensor 25 from the outside is integrally formed to protrude
outward from the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 in the
direction along the outer surface of the crankcase 2.
The cover member 29 can therefore prevent the radiant heat
generated by the cylinder 6 and the exhaust pipes 10 in the
direction along the outer surface of the crankcase 2 from
reaching the protrusion 25a of the sensor 25. This can avoid
the protrusion 25a of the sensor 25 from being subjected to
the radiant heat more reliably.
The cover member 29 covers the protrusion 25a of the sensor
25 as described above, which also prevents the sensor 25 from
being accidentally subjected to external forces generated by
objects external to the sensor 25 during assembly and the
deliveries of the engine 1. The sensor 25 is therefore
protected from these external forces, and from damage.
In addition, the cover member 29 integrally protrudes
outward from the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2, which
differs from the conventional art in which the sensor 25 is
covered from the outside. This can prevent the cover member
29 from interfering with works, including mounting of the
sensor 25 to the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 and
maintenance of the sensor 25, to be performed from the outside
of the crankcase 2, which facilitates these works.
As described above, in the engine having the exhaust pipes
10 provided in the area adjacent to the outer side of the
crankcase 2, the upper cover member 30 and the side cover
member 32 of the cover member 29 are provided between the
exhaust pipes 10 and the protrusion 25a of the sensor 25.
This allows the upper cover member 30 and the side cover
member 32 of the cover member 29 to more reliably prevent the
protrusion 25a of the sensor 25 from being subjected to the
radiant heat generated by the exhaust pipes 10.
Also as described above, the lower cover member 31 of the
cover member 29 is placed so as to cover the sensor 25 from
below.
Thus, in the engine 1 mounted to a vehicle; for example,
the lower cover member 31 of the cover member 29 prevents small
stones thrown up by the wheels while driving from hitting the
sensor 25, which avoid damage to the sensor 25.
Also as described above, the cover member 29 is formed by
allowing the upper and lower outward flanges 17 and 18, and
the ribs 20 to integrally extend outward from the crankcase
2.
The cover member 29 is formed with the upper and lower
outward flanges 17 and 18, and the ribs 20. This means that
the sensor 25 can be prevented from being subjected to heat
and being damaged by the simply-structured cover member 29.
In addition, the upper and lower outward flanges 17 and 18,
and the ribs 20 have high strength for their functions.
Accordingly, the cover member 29 formed with them can readily
have high strength. Therefore, the cover member 29 can more
reliably prevent the sensor 25 from being damaged due to
external forces.
The lower outward flange 18 and the lower cover member 31
have the respective bottom surfaces flush with each other.
During the engine 1 assembly, when the lower case 14 is fixed
to a workbench with cramps, the lower cover member 31 of the
cover member 29 is placed on the workbench. This allows the
lower cover member 31 to be used to fix the lower case 14 thereto
with the cramps.
Unlike the above embodiment exemplified by the accompany
drawings, the sensor 25 may be mounted to the outer wall 11
constituting an end face of the crankcase 2 in the axial
direction of the crankshaft 4. The cover member 29 may be
provided separately from the upper and lower outward flanges
17 and 18, and the ribs 20.
The protrusion 25a of the sensor 25, which protrudes from
the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2, may be smaller in
dimension than that of the cover member 29. This can more
reliably prevent the protrusion 25a of the sensor 25 from being
subjected to the external radiant heat and being damaged due
to the external forces.
Effects of preferred features of the invention are as
follows.
An aspect of the present invention provides a sensor
mounting structure for an engine having a crankcase, a
crankshaft supported with the crankcase to rotate around an
axis extending approximately in the horizontal direction, a
cylinder supported on a top of the crankcase, and a sensor,
mounted to an outer wall of the crankcase, for detecting engine
driving conditions;
wherein the sensor is mounted to the outer wall of the crankcase below the axis of the crankshaft.
wherein the sensor is mounted to the outer wall of the crankcase below the axis of the crankshaft.
This allows the sensor to be placed apart from and further
below the cylinder heated to high temperature, which differs
from the conventional art in which the sensor is mounted to
the outer wall of the crankcase above the axis of the
crankshaft. The sensor is therefore prevented from being
subjected to radiant heat generated by the cylinder, which
is preferable to the sensor for its service life.
The cover member for covering the sensor from the outside
is preferably integrally formed to protrude outward from the
outer wall of the crankcase in the direction along the outer
surface of the crankcase.
A cover member can therefore prevent the radiant heat
generated by the cylinder and the exhaust pipes in the
direction along the outer surface of the crankcase from
reaching the sensor. This can avoid the sensor from being
subjected to the radiant heat more reliably.
The cover member preferably covers the sensor as described
above, which also prevents the sensor from being accidentally
subjected to external forces generated by objects external
to the sensor during engine assembly and the deliveries. The
sensor is therefore protected from these external forces, and
from damage.
In addition, the cover member preferably integrally
protrudes outward from the outer wall of the crankcase, which
differs from the conventional art in which the sensor is
covered from the outside. This can prevent the cover member
from interfering with works, including mounting of the sensor
to the outer wall of the crankcase and maintenance of the
sensor, to be performed from the outside of the crankcase,
which facilitates these works.
Preferably the engine has exhaust pipes provided in an area
adjacent to the outer side of the crankcase;
wherein the cover member is provided between the exhaust pipes and the sensor.
wherein the cover member is provided between the exhaust pipes and the sensor.
The cover member can therefore avoid the sensor from being
subjected to the radiant heat generated by the exhaust pipes
more reliably.
Preferably in the sensor mounting structure for an engine,
the cover member is placed so as to cover the sensor from below.
Thus, in the engine mounted to a vehicle, for example, the
cover member prevents small stones thrown up by the wheels
while driving from hitting the sensor, which avoid damage to
the sensor.
Preferably in the sensor mounting structure for an engine,
in which the engine has the crankcase including upper and lower
cases which are separated approximately relative to the axis
of the crankshaft, the lower case having the outer wall
comprising a vertical wall extending vertically, upper and
lower outward flanges formed integrally with upper and lower
edges of the vertical wall, respectively, and ribs formed
integrally with an outer surface of the vertical wall and
vertically extending;
wherein at least any one of the upper and lower outward flanges, and the rib integrally extends outward from the crankcase to form the cover member.
wherein at least any one of the upper and lower outward flanges, and the rib integrally extends outward from the crankcase to form the cover member.
The cover member is preferably formed with the upper and
lower outward flanges, and the ribs. This means that the
sensor can be prevented from being subjected to heat and being
damaged by the simply-structured cover member.
In addition, the upper and lower outward flanges, and the
ribs preferably have high strength for their functions.
Accordingly, the cover member formed with them can readily
have high strength. Therefore, the cover member can more
reliably prevent the sensor from being damaged due to external
forces.
In a preferred example, an engine 1 has a crankcase 2, a
crankshaft supported with the crankcase 2 to rotate around
an axis 3 extending approximately in the horizontal direction,
a cylinder 6 supported on a top of the crankcase 2, and a sensor
25, mounted to an outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2, for
detecting engine driving conditions. The sensor 25 is
mounted to the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 below the axis
3 of the crankshaft. A cover member 29 for covering the sensor
25 from the outside is integrally formed to protrude outward
from the outer wall 11 of the crankcase 2 in the direction
along the outer surface of the crankcase 2.
Such an arrangement can prevent a sensor mounted to an outer
wall of a crankcase from being subjected to radiant heat
generated by a cylinder and exhaust pipes, and to facilitate
works including mounting of the sensor to the crankcase and
the sensor maintenance.
It will be understood that the present invention has been
described above purely by way of example, and modification
of detail can be made within the scope of the invention.
