Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to detect pressure accurately by slidably providing a sliding part whose thermal expansion coefficient is smaller than that of a case in a pressure transfer chamber, and sealing pressure transfer liquid between a pressure detecting part and the sliding part. CONSTITUTION:A sliding part 10 whose thermal expansion coefficient is smaller than that of a case 1 is slidably provided in a pressure transfer chamber 7 in a case 1. Pressure transfer liquid 11 comprising high-boiling-point silicon oil is sealed between the sliding part 10 and a pressure detecting part 2. In a pressure sensor formed in this way, the volume of the transfer liquid 11 is expanded in response to the rise in ambient temperature, but the expanding amount is extremely small. Even if the volume of the transfer liquid 11 is expanded due to temperature rise, the expanded volume is absorbed with the relative difference between the thermal expansion of the case 1 and the volume change in the sliding part 10. As a result, the pressure of the transfer liquid is not increased. The detection of the pressure increase with the pressure detecting part 2 caused by the temperature rise around the pressure sensor can be prevented.

For example, the temperature around the pressure sensor The volume of the pressure transmission fluid 11 expands in response to the rise, but the amount of expansion is extremely small compared to the conventional pressure transmission fluid 6. Also, as the pressure transmission fluid 11 expands,
Since the gas 1, which has a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion than the pressure transfer liquid 11, also expands thermally, the temperature of the pressure transfer liquid 11 increases and the body 'f! Even if Iw is expanded, the amount of expansion is absorbed by the thermal expansion of the case 1, so the pressure of the pressure transfer fluid 11 does not increase, and the pressure sensing part 2 detects the increase in the pressure inside the combustion chamber due to the temperature rise around the pressure sensor.
