摘要:
Air flowing through an air cleaner is passed through a main passage and drawn into an internal-combustion engine, with a part of the air flowing through the main passage flowing into a by-pass passage having an air flow sensor mounted therein. A length of the by-pass passage is substantially three or more times longer than that of a part of the main passage corresponding thereto. Accordingly, even when the internal-combustion engine is operated with a throttle nearly totally open and the air in the main passage is pulsated, the average flow rate in the by-pass passage increases due to the inertial lag effect obtained by lengthening the by-pass passage, so that it is possible to prevent the output of the flow sensor from being undesirably lowered.

An air flow rate measuring apparatus in which an air flow sensor whose electric characteristic varies with the rate of air flowing by the sensor is supported on a heat-insulating support member and located in a bypass tube provided in the vicinity of the main venturi of an internal combustion engine, whereby the air flow sensor is isolated from adverse thermal influences so as to reduce an error in measuring air flow rate.

An air flow rate sensor including a resistor the characteristic of which depends on temperature for operation mounted in a suction conduit of an internal combustion engine. The air flow rate sensor includes a tube of inorganic material, a platinum wire wound in convolutions on the surface of the tube, and a glass coating applied at least to the surface of the resistor while allowing a part of the surface to be exposed. The glass coating has a thickness smaller than the diameter of the resistor wire and enables equalization of pulsations of the sensor output to be obtained because of the thermal capacity of the glass coating.

An intake barrel connected to an intake pipe of an internal combustion engine is provided therein with a venturi member. Openings are formed in the wall of the intake barrel at the upstream and downstream sides of the venturi member. A bypass passage forming member provided with a groove of a length greater than the distance between said openings is fixed to the outside of the intake barrel. A bypass passage is formed by these openings and the groove. A spacer is interposed between the intake barrel and the bypass passage forming member. The cross-sectional area of the bypass passage can be varied by varying the thickness of the spacer.

Apparatus for sensing oxygen concentration using a solid electrolyte of cylindrical shape, with a heater disposed within the solid electrolyte, is disclosed. The member supporting the heater, and the leads for the heater, are integrally bonded to the heater through an inorganic bonding member such as glass. By integrally bonding the support member and leads through an inorganic bonding member, the heater length can be reduced.

An air fuel ratio detecting arrangement using a diffusion suppressing type air fuel ratio sensor applicable to an air fuel ratio control unit for an internal combustion engine incorporating an atmospheric air pressure correction circuit in a signal processing and outputting device for correcting an output voltage signal processed therein based on a change in atmospheric air pressure which is detected when a predetermined operating condition of an internal combustion engine is satisfied. A secular change correction circuit included in the signal processing and outputting device detects a change in electromotive force of a concentration cell portion of the air fuel ratio sensor when a predetermined rich air fuel ratio is reached and corrects a reference voltage for the air fuel ratio sensor based on the detected change in electromotive force of the concentration cell portion in addition to an air calibration circuit.

A resistor main body of a hot film exothermic resistor includes a ceramic body with leads bonded to both end portions thereof, a platinum film body formed on a ceramic body, a spiral trimming groove formed in the platinum film body, and a glass material overcoated on the platinum film body and the ceramic body. The resistor main body projects in the upstream direction of the flow of such that the ratio of a length l.sub.1 of the resistor main body to the diameter d.sub.1 of the resistor main body is 25>l.sub.1 /d.sub.1 >14, and the leads are bent adjacent both end portions. The response speed characteristics, contamination preventing capability and temperature dependency of the hot film exothermic resistor is improved over conventional devices, and the level of noise in the output signal therefrom can be reduced over conventional devices.
摘要:
An air flow rate measuring apparatus having an air flow sensor and a temperature sensor which are disposed in a passage for intake air formed in the vicinity of a main air flow guide chamber in an internal combustion engine. The electric characteristics of the air flow sensor vary with the flow rate of air flowing by the sensors. The air flow sensor and temperature sensor have the same shape and the same construction. The temperature sensor is used to compensate the temperature of the air flow sensor so as to maintain the air flow sensor at a predetermined temperature. These sensors are arranged in the same plane that is at right angles to the direction in which said intake air flows. The sensors are extended parallel to each other in symmetrical relationship with respect to the center line in the above-mentioned plane. Conductor support pins to which the sensors are fixed are also arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line in the mentioned plane.
