Description
SENSOR MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR AN ENGINE
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 JPA-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 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 teeing subjected to radians 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.
In order to seek to solve the foregoing problems, a sensor mounting structure for an engine according to an aspect of the present invention is as follows. Reference numerals denoting the terms herein are not to be interpreted as a limitation of the technical scope of the present invention to the descriptions of embodiments of the invention to be discussed later, or as a limitation in any way.

A broad aspect of the invention provides a sensor mounting arrangement for an engine having a crankcase and a crankshaft mounted for rotation about an axis, wherein the arrangement includes means for mounting a sensor on an outer wall of the crankcase below the axis of the crankshaft.
Preferably the arrangement further includes a cover for covering at least a part of the sensor, the cover extending from an outer wall of the crankcase.
A further aspect oftheinvention provides a sensor mounting arrangement for an engine, the arrangement includes means for mounting a sensor on an outer wall of the crankcase and means for reducing the heat reaching the sensor from a component of the engine.
A further aspect oftheinvention provides a sensor mounting arrangement for an engine having a cylinder and a crankcase, wherein the arrangement includes means for mounting a sensor on an outer wall of the crankcase remote from the cylinder.
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: Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a part of a lower case of a crankcase.
Fig. 2 is a side view of an engine.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing a front part of the engine.
In the drawings, reference numeral 1 designates a multi-cylinder (fourcylinder) 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 anaxis3 extending approximatelyin the horizontaldirection, 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 lo each have en 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 withupper andlower edges of the vertical wall16 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 oilpan8 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 defected by the sensor25, 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 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 member31, end the side covermember32. The space33is 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 sensor25 to tee placed apart from end further belong 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 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 coyer member31to tee used to fix thelowercase14 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 protrusion25a of the sensor25 from teeing 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 Lo an outerwall 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.
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, 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.
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 memberis placed so es to coyer the sensorfrombelow.
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 end 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.
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 I 25, mounted to an outer wall ll of the crankcase 2, for detecting engine driving conditions. The sensor 25 is mounted to the outer wall ll 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 ll 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.
