20090263286 | SENSOR - A sensor includes: a sensor element extending in an axial direction comprising a leading end portion exposed to a gas measurement object; a metal shell covering a periphery of the sensor element; an outer cylinder member fixed to a rear end side of the metal shell, the outer cylinder member being composed of a first metal material; and a protection outer cylinder member covering an outer surface of the outer cylinder member, the protection outer cylinder being composed of a second metal material. The outer cylinder member further includes a sealing part in contact with a circumference of the protection outer cylinder member, and a spaced part positioned closer to a leading end side than the sealing part, and spaced from the protection outer cylinder member. The first metal material is less subject to rusting than the second metal material. | 10-22-2009 |
20100313863 | INTAKE SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An intake system for an internal combustion engine includes an intake passage connected with an intake port of the internal combustion engine; an EGR passage merged with the intake passage at a junction portion; a gas sensor attached to the intake passage and configured to detect a concentration of specific gas; and a control section configured to control the internal combustion engine on the basis of an output signal of the gas sensor. A diameter-enlarged portion having an inner diameter larger than an inner diameter of the junction portion is formed at a portion of the intake passage which is located on a downstream side of the junction portion. The gas sensor is located downstream from the diameter-enlarged portion. | 12-16-2010 |
20110174617 | GAS SENSOR - A gas sensor including a gas sensor element that extends in an axial direction and has a detection section at a front-end side thereof, and an electrode pad at a rear-end side thereof; a connection terminal that is electrically connected to the electrode pad; and an insulated separator that extends along the axial direction and has an inserting hole into which the connection terminal is inserted. An element side section is arranged within the inserting hole and is connected the electrode pad, and an external circuit side section extends further to the outside in a diametrical direction than an outer surface of the separator through one or more first bending sections from the element side section. | 07-21-2011 |

20120118039 | GAS SENSOR - A gas sensor including a detecting element; and a protector having a tube portion surrounding the detecting portion, and a bottom portion the protector having a first opening disposed at the tube portion and a second opening at the bottom portion. The bottom portion includes first and second bottom wall portions, the second bottom wall portion protrudes toward the leading end side, and at least a part of the inner face thereof is located at the leading end side with respect to the outer face of the first bottom wall portion. The second opening is provided on a side opposite the inner space of the tube portion in a communication passage formed by the inner face of the second bottom wall portion, and an opening area of the second opening is larger than an area of the largest imaginary circle that can be placed inside the first opening. | 05-17-2012 |
20140138245 | GAS SENSOR - A protector includes an inside protector having an inside peripheral wall and a front end wall in a front end side thereof and a tubular outside protector which surrounds the inside protector. In an outside peripheral wall of the outside protector, a plurality of outside introducing ports through which an external part of the outside protector communicates with a gas separating chamber are formed at equal intervals along a circumferential direction. The outside introducing ports are formed at positions nearer to the front end side than positions where inside introducing ports of the inside protector are formed. The outside introducing ports extend in the circumferential direction of the outside peripheral wall and formed in shapes of lateral holes in which opening lengths in the circumferential direction are larger than opening lengths in the direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction. | 05-22-2014 |
