Abstract

A mounting structure for a pressure sensor serves to facilitate easy attachment of the pressure sensor as well as easy detachment thereof without requiring any large work space. A pair of elastic snap fit portions (8) are formed on a surge tank (4) so as to protrude from a surface thereof, and have engagement protrusions (8a) formed at their one end, respectively, so as to protrude to a side opposite to a case (2). A pair of engaged portions (2b) are formed on the case (2) so as to be engaged with the engagement protrusions (8a), respectively. The snap fit portions (8) are forced to flexibly deform to the pressure sensor (1) when the pressure sensor (1) is attached to and detached from the surge tank (4).

Claims2

Dependent claims

A mounting structure for a pressure sensor in which said pressure sensor having a case that receives a pressure detection part and a pressure introduction pipe that protrudes from said case to the outside is mounted on a mounting member that has a mounting hole, with said pressure introduction pipe being inserted into said mounting hole,

said structure comprising:
an elastic snap fit portion that is formed on said case so as to extend toward said mounting member, said snap fit portion having an engagement protrusion formed at an end thereof so as to protrude to a side opposite to said case;
and
an engaged portion that is formed on said mounting member so as to be engaged with said engagement protrusion;
wherein said snap fit portion is forced to flexibly deform to said pressure sensor in the process of said pressure sensor being attached to and detached from said mounting member.
