Abstract

In detection of a temperature of fresh air which is supplied to an intake manifold of an engine, by a fresh air temperature sensor, the invention aims at preventing precision of an engine control from dropping due to difference in an attached position of the fresh air temperature sensor. The engine device has an intake pipe for supplying fresh air to the intake manifold, a breather chamber for separating lubricating oil, the breather chamber being arranged within a head cover covering an upper surface side of a cylinder head, and a blow-by gas return pipe. The intake pipe and the breather chamber are connected via the blow-by gas return pipe. The fresh air temperature sensor detecting a temperature of the fresh air introduced into the intake pipe is attached to the intake pipe.

Claims (15)

1. An engine device comprising:

an intake pipe for supplying fresh air to an intake manifold;

a breather chamber for separating lubricating oil, the breather chamber being arranged within a head cover covering an upper surface side of a cylinder head; and

a blow-by gas return pipe:

the engine device being structured such that the intake pipe and the breather chamber are connected via the blow-by gas return pipe,

wherein a fresh air temperature sensor is attached to the intake pipe, the fresh air temperature sensor detecting a temperature of the fresh air introduced into the intake pipe; and

wherein the fresh air temperature sensor is positioned closer to an intake air upstream side than a connection portion to the blow-by gas return pipe in the intake pipe.

2. The engine device according to claim 1 , wherein a sensor attachment base is integrally formed in an upper surface side of the intake pipe, the fresh air temperature sensor is detachably fastened to the sensor attachment base by bolts, and a connecting direction of a fresh air wiring connector provided in the fresh air temperature sensor is set so as to be along a longitudinal direction of the intake pipe.

3. An engine device comprising:
