Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor support structure includes a connection portion positioned in the cylinder head cover of an internal combustion engine from an outer surface of the cylinder head cover to a position where the connection portion comes in contact with a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, an arm portion extending from an outer end side of the connection portion toward an outer side of the connection portion in a radial direction, a sensor support portion provided at an extending end of the arm portion, the sensor support portion being formed to protrude in a direction away from a side where the cylinder head is positioned, the sensor support portion supporting a sensor that detects a rotation of a camshaft of the internal combustion engine; and a restriction portion restricting a movement of the arm portion relative to the cylinder head cover in a circumferential direction about the connection portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A sensor support structure comprising: a connection portion being positioned in a cylinder head cover of an internal combustion engine from an outer surface of the cylinder head cover to a position where the connection portion comes in contact with a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine; an arm portion extending from an outer end side of the connection portion toward an outer side of the connection portion in a radial direction; a sensor support portion being provided at an extending end of the arm portion, the sensor support portion being formed to protrude in a direction away from a side where the cylinder head is positioned, the sensor support portion supporting a sensor that detects a rotation of a camshaft of the internal combustion engine; and a restriction portion restricting a movement of the arm portion relative to the cylinder head cover in a circumferential direction about the connection portion. 2 . The sensor support structure according to claim 1 , wherein the restriction portion includes a protrusion being formed at one of the extending end of the arm portion and the cylinder head cover; and a recess being provided at the other of the extending end of the arm portion and the cylinder head cover, the recess being provided at a position facing the protrusion, the recess being formed in a long-hole shape along an extending direction of the arm portion. 3 . The sensor support structure according to claim 1 , wherein an axial direction of the connection portion is non-parallel to an extending direction of the sensor support portion.
