Abstract

An intake pipe includes a cylindrical pipe main body, a flange, which is provided on an end of the pipe main body in an axial direction and protrudes radially outward about an axis of the pipe main body from an outer surface of the pipe main body, and a chamber forming portion, which is located outside of the pipe main body and defines a chamber. The chamber forming portion is provided to connect the outer surface of the pipe main body and the flange to each other and is integrated with the pipe main body and the flange.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An internal combustion engine pipe, which is mounted on an internal combustion engine and through which gas flows, the internal combustion engine pipe comprising:
a cylindrical pipe main body;
a sensor mount, which projects from an outer circumferential surface of the pipe main body and receives a sensor for measuring a pressure inside the pipe main body;
a flange on an end of the pipe main body in an axial direction and that protrudes radially outward about an axis of the pipe main body from an outer surface of the pipe main body; and
a chamber forming portion outside of the pipe main body between the sensor mount and the flange and that defines a chamber, wherein
the chamber forming portion connects the outer surface of the pipe main body and the flange to each other and is integral with the pipe main body and the flange, and
the sensor mount is connected to the chamber forming portion and is integral with the chamber forming portion, the pipe main body, and the flange.

2. The internal combustion engine pipe according to claim 1 , wherein
the pipe main body includes a first end, on which the flange is provided, a second end, which is opposite to the first end, and a curved portion, which curves in an arcuate manner from the first end toward the second end, and
the chamber forming portion is on the inner side of the curved portion.
