Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knocking sensor that can appropriately cope with low-volume high-mix production, using a low-cost method. <P>SOLUTION: A spindle 19 is formed by stacking 12 disk-like plate materials 35, each of which has a thickness of 2 mm or less and integrating them. Specifically, one disk-like lid plate 37, 10 disk-like intermediate plates 39, and one disk-like bottom plate 41 are stacked. The outside diameter of the lid plate 37 and bottom plate 41 gripping the intermediate plates 39 is smaller than that of the intermediate plates 39, so that a shape is provided where the angle parts on the both sides of the thickness direction of the outside of the spindle 19 are chamfered. A dimple 43 is formed in each of four places of each plate material 35 at each 90° about the center axis. Thus by pressing dimples 43 of each plate material 35 in the thickness direction, while aligning recessed and projecting parts of them, each plate material 35 can be bonded integrally. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、錘によって押圧した状態で内部に保持した圧電素子により、例えば内燃機関に生じる振動を検出する非共振型ノッキングセンサ等のノッキングセンサに関する。   The present invention relates to a knocking sensor such as a non-resonant knocking sensor that detects, for example, vibration generated in an internal combustion engine by a piezoelectric element held inside while being pressed by a weight.

従来より、例えば内燃機関に発生するノッキングを検出するために、圧電素子を用いたノッキングセンサが開発されている。この種のノッキングセンサとしては、内部に錘等で押圧した圧電素子を保持し、この圧電素子によって内燃機関に生じる振動を検出し、その検出信号を外部に出力する非共振型ノッキングセンサがある。   Conventionally, for example, a knock sensor using a piezoelectric element has been developed to detect knock occurring in an internal combustion engine. As this type of knocking sensor, there is a non-resonant knocking sensor that holds a piezoelectric element pressed inside by a weight or the like, detects vibration generated in the internal combustion engine by the piezoelectric element, and outputs a detection signal to the outside.

一般的に、上述したノッキングセンサは、ボルトが挿通される円筒形状の本体部と、この本体部の一端側に外周壁から外側に張り出す鍔部とを有する支持部材を備えている。
この支持部材には、環状の圧電素子と同じく環状の錘とが本体部に挿通された状態で順に支持部材の鍔部に載置されている。更に、支持部材の鍔部と圧電素子との間、及び圧電素子と錘との間には、圧電素子に発生する検出信号を外部に出力するための出力端子が配置されている。
Generally, the knocking sensor described above includes a support member having a cylindrical main body portion through which a bolt is inserted, and a flange portion projecting outward from the outer peripheral wall on one end side of the main body portion.
On this support member, an annular weight as well as an annular piezoelectric element is placed in order on the collar portion of the support member in a state of being inserted into the main body portion. Furthermore, an output terminal for outputting a detection signal generated in the piezoelectric element to the outside is disposed between the flange portion of the support member and the piezoelectric element and between the piezoelectric element and the weight.

このように構成されたノッキングセンサは、支持部材の本体部に挿通されるボルトによって、内燃機関のシリンダヘッドに装着される。これにより、ノッキングセンサを構成する錘や圧電素子は、内燃機関に発生する振動と一体となって振動し、その結果、出力端子からは内燃機関に発生する振動と同様の波形を有する検出信号が外部に出力される。

ところが、従来のノッキングセンサでは、センサの仕様によっては、錘の大きさ等を変える必要があり、そのため、少量多品種の場合には、プレス加工などの安価な手法が適用できず、切削によって対応していた。   However, with conventional knocking sensors, depending on the sensor specifications, it is necessary to change the size of the weight, etc. Therefore, in the case of a small variety of products, it is not possible to apply an inexpensive technique such as press working, which can be handled by cutting. Was.

本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、少量多品種生産に対して安価な手法で好適に対応できるノッキングセンサを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a knocking sensor that can suitably cope with low-volume, multi-product production by an inexpensive method.

(1)上記目的を達成するためになされた請求項1記載の発明は、柱状の本体部と該本体部の外周から外側に張り出す鍔部と有する支持部材と、前記本体部の外周側に嵌められ、前記鍔部に載置される圧電素子と、前記本体部の外周側に嵌められ、前記圧電素子に所定の圧力を加えるために、前記圧電素子に載置される錘と、を備えたノッキングセンサにおいて、前記錘は、厚さ2mm以下の板材を複数枚積層してなることを特徴とする。   (1) The invention according to claim 1, which has been made to achieve the above object, includes a support member having a columnar main body portion, a flange portion projecting outward from the outer periphery of the main body portion, and an outer peripheral side of the main body portion. A piezoelectric element that is fitted and placed on the flange, and a weight that is fitted on the outer peripheral side of the main body and is placed on the piezoelectric element to apply a predetermined pressure to the piezoelectric element. In the knocking sensor, the weight is formed by laminating a plurality of plate materials having a thickness of 2 mm or less.

本発明のノッキングセンサでは、圧電素子に載置される錘として、厚さ2mm以下の板材を複数枚積層した錘を用いるので、少量多品種の場合でも、プレス加工などの安価な手法を採用できる。   In the knocking sensor of the present invention, a weight obtained by laminating a plurality of plate materials having a thickness of 2 mm or less is used as the weight placed on the piezoelectric element. Therefore, even in the case of a small number of various types, an inexpensive method such as press working can be adopted. .

つまり、本発明では、プレス加工などの簡易な方法で製造した板材を積層して錘を構成できるので、様々なサイズや形状のノッキングセンサに容易に対応できるという効果を奏する。   That is, in the present invention, since the weight can be configured by laminating plate materials manufactured by a simple method such as press working, there is an effect that it is possible to easily cope with knocking sensors of various sizes and shapes.

また、錘自身に各種の機能を持たせる場合、例えば錘に明けられた連通孔を介して樹脂充填を行う機能や、錘自身を直接に支持部材に固定する機能等を持たせる場合には、そのために必要な構造とするために、高度な切削若しくはプレス加工が必要であるが、本発明では、その要求に容易に対応することができる。   In addition, when giving the weight itself various functions, for example, when giving the function of filling the resin through the communication hole opened in the weight, the function of directly fixing the weight itself to the support member, etc. In order to obtain a structure necessary for this purpose, advanced cutting or pressing is required, but the present invention can easily meet the demand.

つまり、錘自身に、例えば樹脂注入などの各種の機能を持たせる場合にも、各機能に対応する形状に加工した個々の板材を組み合わせれば良く、高度な切削などの複雑な加工が不要であるという利点がある。   In other words, even if the weight itself has various functions such as resin injection, it is only necessary to combine individual plates processed into shapes corresponding to each function, and complicated processing such as advanced cutting is not required. There is an advantage of being.

なお、鍔部上には、圧電素子や錘が(直接又は間接的に)順次載置されるが、鍔部と圧電素子との間や圧電素子と錘との間に、絶縁部材や出力端子などが配置される場合も、本発明の範囲である。   In addition, although a piezoelectric element and a weight are sequentially placed on the collar part (directly or indirectly), an insulating member or an output terminal is provided between the collar part and the piezoelectric element or between the piezoelectric element and the weight. And the like are also within the scope of the present invention.

また、以下に、本発明の各構成について説明する。
・前記支持部材としては、例えばSWCHからなる金属部材を採用できる。
・本体部としては、筒状の構造を採用できる。
Moreover, each structure of this invention is demonstrated below.
As the support member, for example, a metal member made of SWCH can be adopted.
-A cylindrical structure can be adopted as the main body.

・圧電素子としては、例えばPZTの圧電材料からなる圧電体が挙げられる。
・錘の材料としては、例えば50H470が挙げられる。
・板材の厚みとしては、2mm以下の範囲で、例えば0.3mm以上のものを採用できる。また、各板材の厚みは同じでも、異なっていてもよい。板材の枚数としては、板厚にもよるが、例えば2〜20枚の範囲を採用できる。
-As a piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric material which consists of a piezoelectric material of PZT is mentioned, for example.
-As a material of a weight, 50H470 is mentioned, for example.
-As thickness of a board | plate material, the thing of 0.3 mm or more is employable in the range of 2 mm or less, for example. Moreover, the thickness of each board | plate material may be the same, or may differ. The number of plate materials may be in the range of 2 to 20 sheets, for example, although it depends on the plate thickness.

(2)請求項2の発明では、前記錘は、前記各板材同士が一体に結合された構造であることを特徴とする。
本発明は、錘の好ましい構成を例示したものである。本発明で用いる錘は、各板材同士が一体に結合されたものであるので、ノッキングセンサに組み付ける際の扱い等が容易である。
(2) The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that the weight has a structure in which the plate members are integrally coupled.
The present invention exemplifies a preferable configuration of the weight. Since the weight used in the present invention is one in which the respective plate members are integrally coupled, it is easy to handle when assembled to the knocking sensor.

本発明では、各板材は、各板材に形成されたダボにより結合されているので、別途結合する部材が不要であり、板材の結合構造を簡易化することができる。例えば、ある板材の凹部に他の板材の凸部を嵌め込むことにより、順次板材を結合して一体の錘を構成することができる。
(3) The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the plate members are coupled by dowels formed on the plate members.
In the present invention, since the plate members are joined by dowels formed on the plate members, a member to be joined separately is unnecessary, and the joining structure of the plate members can be simplified. For example, by inserting a convex portion of another plate material into a concave portion of a certain plate material, the plate materials can be sequentially coupled to form an integral weight.

なお、各板材をプレス等によって製造する場合に、板材の製造と同時にダボを形成することができる。例えば、プレス機の金型に突起を設けておき、板材の一方の表面を押圧して、その表面に凹部を形成するとともに、この凹部の裏側に凹部の凹んだ分だけ突出した凸部を形成する方法を採用できる。   In addition, when manufacturing each board | plate material with a press etc., a dowel can be formed simultaneously with manufacture of a board | plate material. For example, a protrusion is provided on the die of a press machine, and one surface of the plate material is pressed to form a recess on the surface, and a protrusion protruding by the amount of the recess is formed on the back side of the recess. Can be adopted.

なお、ダボの個数としては、例えば1枚の板材当たり4個を採用できる。

Is characterized in that it has a communicating portion that communicates the radially inner and outer peripheral sides.

本発明では、前記板材(例えば中間板)に連通部を有するので、ノッキングセンサの内部構造を樹脂の充填により固定する場合に、連通部を介して、板材の外周側から内周側に樹脂を充填することができる。これにより、樹脂充填を好適に行うことができる。   In the present invention, since the plate member (for example, the intermediate plate) has a communication portion, when the internal structure of the knocking sensor is fixed by filling with resin, the resin is supplied from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side of the plate member via the communication portion. Can be filled. Thereby, resin filling can be performed suitably.

なお、例えば環状の板材に連通部を設けることによりC字状の形状とし、そのC字状の板材の両側に連通部を形成しない環状の板材を積層することにより、環状の錘の外周面から内周面に連通する連通孔を形成することができる。   In addition, for example, by providing a communication portion on an annular plate material, a C-shaped shape is formed, and by laminating an annular plate material that does not form a communication portion on both sides of the C-shaped plate material, from the outer peripheral surface of the annular weight A communication hole communicating with the inner peripheral surface can be formed.

(7)請求項7の発明では、前記板材の内周面には、該内周面から内側に突出して、前記本体部に係止する係止凸部を備えたことを特徴とする。

For example, the plate material is fitted on the outer peripheral side of the main body portion. By pushing in, the plate material can be fixed to the main body.

この係止凸部としては、板材の内周面に複数形成することができる。また、板材の内周面全体に環状に突出する部分を形成し、この環状の突出部分に切り込みを入れることにより、複数の係止凸部を形成することもできる。   A plurality of the locking projections can be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the plate material. Moreover, the part which protrudes cyclically | annularly in the whole inner peripheral surface of a board | plate material is formed, and a some latching convex part can also be formed by notching this cyclic | annular protrusion part.

The case 3 includes a cylindrical element storage portion 5 whose upper portion is formed in a tapered shape, and a connector portion 7 for connecting a connector from an ignition timing control device (not shown).

図2及び図3に示すように、ノッキングセンサ1は、金属材料(例えばSWCH35K)からなる支持部材9を備えており、支持部材9は、ボルトを挿通するための挿通孔11を有する円筒形状の本体部13と、本体部13の一端側(図2の下側)にて外周壁から外側に張り出す鍔部15とを備えている。   2 and 3, the knocking sensor 1 includes a support member 9 made of a metal material (for example, SWCH35K), and the support member 9 has a cylindrical shape having an insertion hole 11 for inserting a bolt. A main body 13 and a flange 15 projecting outward from the outer peripheral wall on one end side (lower side in FIG. 2) of the main body 13 are provided.

この支持部材9の鍔部15の厚み方向の一面(図2の上面)側には、本体部13の外周側に嵌められる円筒形状で、圧電セラミックス(例えばPZT)からなる圧電素子17が載置されている。   On one surface (upper surface in FIG. 2) in the thickness direction of the flange portion 15 of the support member 9, a piezoelectric element 17 made of piezoelectric ceramics (for example, PZT) and having a cylindrical shape fitted on the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 13 is placed. Has been.

また、圧電素子17の上面側には、本体部13の外周側に嵌められる円筒形状で、錘としての効果を発揮する比重を有する金属材料(例えば50H470)からなる錘19が載置されている。なお、この錘19は、後に詳述する様に複数の板材から構成されているが、図2及び図3では、板材の構造や枚数を簡略化して示している。   Further, on the upper surface side of the piezoelectric element 17, a weight 19 made of a metal material (for example, 50H470) having a specific gravity that exhibits the effect as a weight is mounted on the outer peripheral side of the main body 13. . The weight 19 is composed of a plurality of plate members as will be described in detail later. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the structure and the number of plate members are shown in a simplified manner.

前記鍔部15と圧電素子17との間、及び錘19と圧電素子17との間には、導電材料(例えば黄銅)からなる出力端子21、23が、それぞれ配置されている。
また、鍔部15と出力端子21との間、及び出力端子23と錘19との間には、絶縁性を有するフィルム状の合成樹脂(例えばPET)からなる絶縁部材25、27が配置され、出力端子21、23が支持部材9や錘19と短絡しないようにされている。
Output terminals 21 and 23 made of a conductive material (for example, brass) are disposed between the flange 15 and the piezoelectric element 17 and between the weight 19 and the piezoelectric element 17, respectively.
Insulating members 25 and 27 made of an insulating film-like synthetic resin (for example, PET) are disposed between the flange 15 and the output terminal 21 and between the output terminal 23 and the weight 19. The output terminals 21 and 23 are not short-circuited with the support member 9 and the weight 19.

更に、支持部材9には、金属材料(例えばSWCH)からなり、錘19を鍔部15方向(同図下方)へ押圧する環状の板バネ29が取り付けられている。
前記板バネ29の上部には、ナット31が配置されており、このナット31は、本体部13の外周のねじ部33に螺合している。
Further, an annular leaf spring 29 made of a metal material (for example, SWCH) is attached to the support member 9 and presses the weight 19 toward the flange portion 15 (downward in the figure).
A nut 31 is disposed on the top of the plate spring 29, and this nut 31 is screwed into a threaded portion 33 on the outer periphery of the main body portion 13.

従って、このナット31を締め付けることにより、板バネ29が下方に押圧されるので、板バネ29により、圧電素子17や錘19は、出力端子21、23や絶縁部材25、27と共に、支持部材9に固定される。   Accordingly, the plate spring 29 is pressed downward by tightening the nut 31, so that the piezoelectric element 17 and the weight 19 together with the output terminals 21 and 23 and the insulating members 25 and 27 are supported by the plate spring 29. Fixed to.

b)次に、本実施形態の要部である錘19について、図4〜図6に基づいて説明する。
なお、図4(a)は錘19の平面を示し、図4(b)は図4(a)のA−A’断面を示し、図5は前記A−A’断面を拡大して示し、図6は錘19を分解して示している。
b) Next, the weight 19 which is a main part of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
4A shows the plane of the weight 19, FIG. 4B shows the AA ′ cross section of FIG. 4A, FIG. 5 shows the AA ′ cross section in an enlarged manner, FIG. 6 shows the weight 19 in an exploded manner.

図4(b)に示すように、前記錘19は、1枚の厚みが0.5mmの円盤状の板材35を12枚積層し、一体に結合したものである。
詳しくは、同図上側の1枚の円盤状の蓋板37と、10枚の円盤状の中間板39と、同図下側の1枚の円盤状の底板41とが積層されたものである。このうち、中間板39を挟む蓋板37と底板41の外径は、中間板39の外径より小さいので、錘19の外側の板厚方向両側(同図上下方向)の角部分が面取りされた形状となっている。
As shown in FIG. 4B, the weight 19 is obtained by laminating 12 disk-shaped plate members 35 each having a thickness of 0.5 mm and integrally joining them.
Specifically, one disk-shaped lid plate 37 on the upper side of the figure, ten disk-shaped intermediate plates 39, and one disk-shaped bottom plate 41 on the lower side of the figure are laminated. . Among these, since the outer diameter of the cover plate 37 and the bottom plate 41 sandwiching the intermediate plate 39 is smaller than the outer diameter of the intermediate plate 39, the corner portions on both sides in the plate thickness direction (the vertical direction in the figure) outside the weight 19 are chamfered. It has a different shape.

また、図4(a)に示すように、各板材35には、中心軸を中心にして90度毎に4カ所にダボ43が形成されている。詳しくは、図5及び図6に示すように、蓋板37及び中間板39には、プレス加工によって、両図の上面側が凹で下面側がその分だけ下方に凸となったダボ43が形成されている。なお、底板41のみはダボ43が嵌り込む貫通孔45となっている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, dowels 43 are formed in each plate member 35 at four positions every 90 degrees around the central axis. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lid plate 37 and the intermediate plate 39 are formed with dowels 43 that are concave on the upper surface side and convex downward on the lower surface side by pressing. ing. Only the bottom plate 41 is a through hole 45 into which the dowel 43 is fitted.

従って、各板材35のダボ43の凹凸部分の位置を合わせて(但し底板41はその貫通孔45と他のダボ43の位置を合わせて)、板厚方向に押圧することにより、各板材35を一体結合することができる。   Therefore, by aligning the positions of the concave and convex portions of the dowels 43 of each plate 35 (however, the bottom plate 41 matches the positions of the through holes 45 and the other dowels 43) and pressing each plate 35 in the plate thickness direction. Can be joined together.

このように構成されたノッキングセンサ1は、従来装置と同様に、支持部材9の本体部13に形成された挿通孔11に挿通されるボルト(図示せず)によって、図示しない内燃機関のシリンダヘッドに装着され、従来装置と同様に使用される。   The knocking sensor 1 configured as described above has a cylinder head (not shown) of an internal combustion engine (not shown) by a bolt (not shown) inserted into an insertion hole 11 formed in the main body 13 of the support member 9 as in the conventional device. And used in the same manner as a conventional apparatus.

c)次に、本実施形態のノッキングセンサ1の組み立て方法を簡単に説明する。

c) Next, a method for assembling the knocking sensor 1 of the present embodiment will be briefly described.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid plate 37, the intermediate plate 39, and the bottom plate 41 are assembled by aligning the positions of the dowels 43, and pressed together in the thickness direction to produce the weight 19 as a unit. .

次に、前記図3に示すように、支持部材9の本体部13の外周側に嵌めるようにして、鍔部15上に、絶縁部材25、出力端子21、圧電素子17、出力端子23、絶縁部材27、錘19を順次載置する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the insulating member 25, the output terminal 21, the piezoelectric element 17, the output terminal 23, and the insulating member 25 are formed on the flange portion 15 so as to be fitted to the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 13 of the support member 9. The member 27 and the weight 19 are sequentially placed.

次に、本体部13に板バネ29を圧入し、更に、板バネ29の上にナット31を嵌め込んで締め付けることにより板バネ29を押圧する。
これにより、各構成部品(圧電素子17、錘19、出力端子21、23、絶縁部材25、27)は、板バネ29により鍔部15に向けて押圧された状態で、支持部材9に固定される。
Next, the leaf spring 29 is press-fitted into the main body 13, and the leaf spring 29 is pressed by inserting and tightening the nut 31 onto the leaf spring 29.
Accordingly, each component (piezoelectric element 17, weight 19, output terminals 21 and 23, insulating members 25 and 27) is fixed to the support member 9 while being pressed toward the flange 15 by the leaf spring 29. The

その後、これらの支持部材9及び構成部品を射出成形用金型で取り囲み、構成部品を覆うように液状樹脂部材(絶縁材料)を射出し固化させることにより、ケース3を形成する。これにより、ノッキングセンサ1が製造される。   Thereafter, the support member 9 and the component parts are surrounded by an injection mold, and a liquid resin member (insulating material) is injected and solidified so as to cover the component parts, thereby forming the case 3. Thereby, knocking sensor 1 is manufactured.

d)この様に、本実施形態のノッキングセンサ1では、圧電素子17に載置される錘19として、厚さ2mm以下の板材35を複数枚積層した錘19を用いるので、少量多品種の場合でも、プレス加工などの安価な手法により容易に製造することができる。   d) As described above, in the knocking sensor 1 of the present embodiment, as the weight 19 placed on the piezoelectric element 17, the weight 19 in which a plurality of plate materials 35 having a thickness of 2 mm or less are stacked is used. However, it can be easily manufactured by an inexpensive method such as press working.

また、各板材35を組み合わせることにより、高度な切削などの複雑な加工をしなくとも、所望の形状の錘19が得られるという利点がある。
更に、本実施形態では、錘19はダボ43により一体に結合されたものであるので、例えば錘19を支持部材9に組み付ける際の扱い等が容易である。しかも、このダボ43は、板材35の製造時に同時に形成できるという利点がある。
Further, by combining the respective plate members 35, there is an advantage that the weight 19 having a desired shape can be obtained without complicated processing such as advanced cutting.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the weight 19 is integrally coupled by the dowel 43, for example, handling when the weight 19 is assembled to the support member 9 is easy. Moreover, the dowels 43 have the advantage that they can be formed simultaneously when the plate material 35 is manufactured.

その上、本実施形態では、中間板39の外径よりも、蓋板37及び底板41の外径を小さくすることにより、切削加工等をしなくとも、面取り形状とすることができる。
なお、蓋板37としては、例えば図7(a)に示す様に、径方向の外側ほど厚みを薄くした蓋板51を採用したり、例えば図7(b)に示す様に、径方向の内側ほど厚みを薄くした蓋板53を採用してもよい。
In addition, in the present embodiment, the chamfered shape can be obtained without cutting or the like by making the outer diameters of the cover plate 37 and the bottom plate 41 smaller than the outer diameter of the intermediate plate 39.
As the lid plate 37, for example, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), a lid plate 51 having a smaller thickness toward the outer side in the radial direction is adopted, or, for example, as shown in FIG. You may employ | adopt the cover plate 53 which made thickness thin toward the inner side.

また、図8に示すように、支持部材61の鍔部63上に、絶縁部材65、出力端子67、圧電素子69、出力端子71、錘73、板バネ75、ナット77を順次積層配置する構成を採用できる。この場合には、錘73と出力端子71との間に、前記実施形態のような絶縁部材を使用しないが、エンジンブロックにアースする構成であるので、特に支障はない。
[第2実施形態]
次に第2実施形態について説明するが、前記第1実施形態と同様な内容の説明は簡略化する。
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the insulating member 65, the output terminal 67, the piezoelectric element 69, the output terminal 71, the weight 73, the leaf spring 75, and the nut 77 are sequentially stacked on the flange portion 63 of the support member 61. Can be adopted. In this case, the insulating member as in the above embodiment is not used between the weight 73 and the output terminal 71, but there is no particular problem because it is configured to be grounded to the engine block.
[Second Embodiment]
Next, the second embodiment will be described, but the description of the same contents as the first embodiment will be simplified.

本実施形態のノッキングセンサは、第1実施形態のノッキングセンサとは、特に錘の構成が異なっている。
図9に示す様に、本実施形態のノッキングセンサ81は、前記第1実施形態とほぼ同様に、本体部83及び鍔部85からなる支持部材87を備えており、その鍔部85の上に、絶縁部材89、出力端子91、圧電素子93、出力端子95、(板材96からなる)錘97が順次載置され、板バネ99及びナット101により、一体に固定されたものである。
The knocking sensor of the present embodiment is particularly different from the knocking sensor of the first embodiment in the configuration of the weight.
As shown in FIG. 9, the knocking sensor 81 of the present embodiment includes a support member 87 composed of a main body portion 83 and a flange portion 85, as in the first embodiment, and on the flange portion 85. The insulating member 89, the output terminal 91, the piezoelectric element 93, the output terminal 95, and the weight 97 (consisting of a plate material 96) are sequentially placed and fixed integrally by a leaf spring 99 and a nut 101.

特に、本実施形態では、図10及び図11に示す様に、ダボ103により一体化された環状の錘97の側壁105を貫くように、即ち錘97の外周面と内周面とを連通するように、側壁105の1箇所に中心軸に対して垂直に径方向に延びる連通孔107が形成されている。   In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the weight 97 are communicated so as to penetrate the side wall 105 of the annular weight 97 integrated by the dowel 103. Thus, a communication hole 107 extending in the radial direction perpendicular to the central axis is formed at one location of the side wall 105.

詳しくは、錘97は、図11(b)に示す様に、(第1実施形態と同様な)環状の蓋板109及び底板111の間に、一部が開口した形状のC字状の中間板113(図12参照)が積層配置されたものである。このC字状の中間板113には、その1箇所に外周面と内周面とを連通する連通部115が設けられており、この連通部115が一体となって連通孔107が構成されている。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the weight 97 is a C-shaped intermediate with a part opened between the annular lid plate 109 and the bottom plate 111 (similar to the first embodiment). Plates 113 (see FIG. 12) are stacked. The C-shaped intermediate plate 113 is provided with a communication portion 115 that communicates the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface at one location. The communication portion 115 is integrated to form a communication hole 107. Yes.

これにより、ノッキングセンサ81の内部構造を樹脂の充填により固定する際に、錘97等の内周面と支持部材87の本体部83の外周面との隙間があった場合でも、この連通孔107を介して、錘97の外周側から内周側に好適に樹脂を充填することができる。
[第3実施形態]
次に第3実施形態について説明するが、前記第1実施形態と同様な内容の説明は簡略化する。
Thereby, when the internal structure of the knocking sensor 81 is fixed by filling the resin, even if there is a gap between the inner peripheral surface of the weight 97 and the outer peripheral surface of the main body 83 of the support member 87, the communication hole 107 is provided. Thus, the resin can be suitably filled from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side of the weight 97.
[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described, but the description of the same contents as the first embodiment will be simplified.

本実施形態のノッキングセンサは、第1実施形態のノッキングセンサとは、特に錘の構成が異なっている。
図13に示す様に、本実施形態のノッキングセンサ121は、本体部123及び鍔部125からなる支持部材127を備えており、その鍔部125の上に、絶縁部材129、出力端子131、圧電素子133、出力端子135、錘137が順次載置されている。
The knocking sensor of the present embodiment is particularly different from the knocking sensor of the first embodiment in the configuration of the weight.
As shown in FIG. 13, the knocking sensor 121 of this embodiment includes a support member 127 including a main body portion 123 and a flange portion 125, and an insulating member 129, an output terminal 131, a piezoelectric member on the flange portion 125. An element 133, an output terminal 135, and a weight 137 are sequentially placed.

特に、本実施形態では、錘137の上部には、板バネやナットが配置されておらず、錘137の内周面が支持部材127の本体部125の外周面に強固に固定されている。
つまり、本実施形態では、図14及び図15に示す様に、錘137の内周面には、中心軸の回りに90度毎に、中心軸に向かって突出する略三角形の形状の係止凸部139が設けられている。
In particular, in this embodiment, a plate spring or a nut is not disposed on the upper portion of the weight 137, and the inner peripheral surface of the weight 137 is firmly fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 125 of the support member 127.
That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the inner peripheral surface of the weight 137 has a substantially triangular shape protruding toward the central axis every 90 degrees around the central axis. A convex portion 139 is provided.

詳しくは、錘137は、図15(b)に示す様に、(第1実施形態と同様な)環状の蓋板141及び底板143の間に、4箇所の係止凸部139を有する環状の中間板145(図16参照)が積層配置されたものである。また、係止凸部139の先端における内径は、本体部123に圧入可能なように、本体部123の外径よりも僅かに小さく設定されている。なお、各中間板145の係止凸部139は、板厚方向に揃った位置に設けられている。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15B, the weight 137 has an annular shape having four locking projections 139 between the annular lid plate 141 and the bottom plate 143 (similar to the first embodiment). Intermediate plates 145 (see FIG. 16) are stacked. The inner diameter at the tip of the locking projection 139 is set to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the main body 123 so that it can be press-fitted into the main body 123. In addition, the latching convex part 139 of each intermediate | middle board 145 is provided in the position aligned in the plate | board thickness direction.

従って、この係止凸部139を備えた各板材140を積層した錘137を、本体部材127の本体部123の外周側に嵌めて押し込むことにより、錘137を本体部127に固定することができる。これにより、圧電素子133等の各部材は、鍔部125と錘137との間に挟まれた状態で押圧固定されることになる。   Accordingly, the weight 137 can be fixed to the main body portion 127 by fitting and pushing the weight 137 in which the plate members 140 each having the locking convex portion 139 are stacked on the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 123 of the main body member 127. . Thereby, each member such as the piezoelectric element 133 is pressed and fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the flange portion 125 and the weight 137.

本実施形態は、前記第1実施形態と同様な効果を奏するとともに、板バネやナットが不要であるという利点がある。
以上、本発明の実施の形態について説明したが、本発明は、上記実施形態に何ら限定されることはなく、本発明の技術的範囲に属する限り種々の形態をとり得ることはいうまでもない。
This embodiment has the advantages that the same effects as those of the first embodiment are achieved, and that a leaf spring and a nut are unnecessary.

例えばダボや係止凸部の位置、個数、形状は、適宜設定すればよい。例えば、図17に示す様に、錘を構成する中間板151の内周面に、一部切欠き153を設けることによって係止凸部155を形成してもよい。また、ダボを用いないで、例えば他の拘束部材を使用して板材を一体に固定してよい。   For example, the position, number, and shape of the dowels and the locking projections may be set as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the locking projection 155 may be formed by providing a notch 153 on the inner peripheral surface of the intermediate plate 151 constituting the weight. Moreover, you may fix a board | plate material integrally, for example using another restraint member, without using a dowel.
