Abstract

A pressure detection device 1 includes: an enclosure assembly configured to be mounted in a communication hole in an internal combustion engine; a diaphragm head 32 provided at one end of the enclosure assembly and configured to receive pressure of combustion gas from the internal combustion engine; and a buffer member 80 located at the diaphragm head 32 and configured to supply the combustion gas to the diaphragm head 32 while reducing the temperature of the combustion gas. Female threads formed on a first buffer member 81 of the buffer member 80 and male threads formed on a second buffer member 82 of the buffer member 80 are configured to threadably engage each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pressure detection device comprising:
a body configured to be mounted in a hole in an internal combustion engine;
a pressure receiving member provided at one end of the body and configured to receive pressure of a fluid from the internal combustion engine;
a temperature reducing member located at the pressure receiving member on a leading end at the one end of the body and configured to supply the fluid to the pressure receiving member while reducing temperature of the fluid, wherein
the pressure receiving member comprises:
a pressure receiving portion configured to be displaced under pressure; and
a pressure receiving support portion joined to or integrated with a first member, the first member being joined to or integrated with the pressure receiving member and having an inner circumferential surface,

the temperature reducing member comprises:
the first member; and
a second member having an outer circumferential surface facing the inner circumferential surface, and

female threads formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first member and male threads formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second member are configured to threadably engage each other; and

a securing mechanism configured to secure the second member threaded with the first member,
wherein the securing mechanism comprises a combination of a threaded hole formed in the first member and the second member and a screw configured to be threaded into the threaded hole.

2. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first member is integrally molded with the pressure receiving support portion.

3. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second member comprises a plurality of communication holes configured to allow the fluid to be supplied to the pressure receiving portion.

4. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the second member threaded with the first member is located at a position where the second member does not contact the pressure receiving member.

5. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein
the threaded hole is formed in an axial direction of the first member and the second member, and
the first member comprises a cut-away portion configured to mate with a portion of a head of the screw threaded into the threaded hole.

6. The pressure detection device according to claim 5 , wherein the head of the screw is of a cylindrical shape.

7. The pressure detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the threaded hole is formed in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the first member and the second member.

8. The pressure detection device according to claim 7 , wherein a head of the screw threaded into the threaded hole is configured not to protrude from an entrance of the threaded hole.

9. A pressure detection device comprising:
a body configured to be mounted in a hole in an internal combustion engine;
a pressure receiving member provided at one end of the body and configured to receive pressure of a fluid from the internal combustion engine; and
a temperature reducing member located at the pressure receiving member on a leading end at the one end of the body and configured to supply the fluid to the pressure receiving member while reducing temperature of the fluid, wherein
the pressure receiving member comprises:
a pressure receiving portion configured to be displaced under pressure; and
a pressure receiving support portion joined to or integrated with a first member, the first member being joined to or integrated with the pressure receiving member and having an inner circumferential surface,

the temperature reducing member comprises:
the first member; and
a second member having an outer circumferential surface facing the inner circumferential surface,

female threads formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first member and male threads formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second member are configured to threadably engage each other, and
the second member comprises at least one straight groove on a leading end surface thereof.

10. A pressure detection device comprising:
a body configured to be mounted in a hole in an internal combustion engine;
a pressure receiving member provided at one end of the body and configured to receive pressure of a fluid from the internal combustion engine; and
a temperature reducing member located at the pressure receiving member on a leading end at the one end of the body and configured to supply the fluid to the pressure receiving member while reducing temperature of the fluid, wherein
the pressure receiving member comprises:
a pressure receiving portion configured to be displaced under pressure; and
a pressure receiving support portion joined to or integrated with a first member, the first member being joined to or integrated with the pressure receiving member and having an inner circumferential surface,

the temperature reducing member comprises:
the first member; and
a second member having an outer circumferential surface facing the inner circumferential surface,

female threads formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first member and male threads formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second member are configured to threadably engage each other, and
the second member is configured to be separated into a plurality of sub-members and assembled from the plurality of separated sub-members.

11. The pressure detection device according to claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of separated sub-members comprises a recess and a protrusion used for mating during assembly.
