Abstract
A connector includes a resin-made connector body and a pressure sensor. The connector body includes a first main tubular part that is connected to a first pipe, a second main tubular part that is connected to a second pipe, and a sensor mounting part. The first main tubular part and the second main tubular part connect with each other to form an angle. The sensor mounting part includes: a tubular intake part that is formed in line with a line extending from one of the first main tubular part and the second main tubular part and has a bottom face; and a sensor mounting seat that is capable of being mounted with the pressure sensor and communicates with a peripheral-surface opening of the tubular intake part.
Claims7
A connector comprising:
- a connector body made of resin, the connector body comprising a first main tubular part configured to be connected to a first pipe, a second main tubular part configured to be connected to a second pipe, and a sensor mounting part;
- and
- a pressure sensor configured to detect pressure of fluid that passes through the connector body, the pressure sensor being mounted to the sensor mounting part,
- wherein the first main tubular part and the second main tubular part connect with each other to form an angle, and wherein the sensor mounting part comprises:
- a tubular intake part formed in line with a line extending from one of the first main tubular part and the second main tubular part, the tubular intake part including a bottom face;
- and
- a sensor mounting seat that is capable of being mounted with the pressure sensor, the sensor mounting seat communicating with a peripheral-surface opening of the tubular intake part.
