Abstract
An exhaust pipe is fixed to an internal combustion engine. A proximal end of a sensor guide is fixed to the exhaust pipe. A lead extends from an exhaust gas temperature sensor through the inside of the sensor guide to the outside of the sensor guide. The lead is fixed to a body of a vehicle outside the sensor guide. A distal end of the sensor guide is located forward of the proximal end.
Claims5
An exhaust structure for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an exhaust pipe fixed to the internal combustion engine;
- a tubular sensor guide including a proximal end fixed to the exhaust pipe;
- a sensor fixed to the exhaust pipe;
- and
- a lead extending from the sensor through an inside of the sensor guide to an outside of the sensor guide, the lead being fixed to a body of a vehicle at the outside of the sensor guide, wherein
- a direction along a central axis of the exhaust pipe and toward an upstream side of exhaust gas is defined as a first direction, and
- a distal end of the sensor guide is located in the first direction as viewed from the proximal end.
