Abstract

To obtain a physical-quantity detection device that reduces a variation in mounting position in a main passage. A physical-quantity detection device 20 of the present invention is inserted into and disposed in a main passage 22 , and includes a flange 211 fixed to a seat surface 103 of the main passage 22 , and the flange 211 includes a press-fitting portion 281 for positioning with respect to a seat surface 103 side.

Claims (19)

1. A physical-quantity detection device comprising:

a flange fixed to a seat surface of a main passage; and

a measurement section that protrudes from the flange to be inserted into in the main passage from a mounting hole of the main passage and to be disposed,

wherein the flange is provided with a press-fitting portion into which a protruding portion protruding from the seat surface of the main passage is press-fitted.

2. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the flange is provided with a plurality of screw holes,

the flange is screwed and fixed to the seat surface with fixing screws, and

the press-fitting portions are disposed separate from each other in a direction intersecting a line that connects the plurality of screw holes to each other.

3. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the press-fitting portion has a crush rib structure where the press-fitting portion comes into contact with the protruding portion to be crushed.

4. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the press-fitting portion is formed in a side surface in a direction opposite rotation of the fixing screw among side surfaces of a groove formed in the flange.

5. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the press-fitting portion is disposed to make contact in a direction opposite a rotational direction where the fixing screw is fastened.

6. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of the press-fitting portions are provided.

7. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 6 , wherein the press-fitting portion has a burr shape with respect to an insertion direction of the measurement section.

8. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 7 , wherein the shape of the press-fitting portion is integrally molded in a detachment direction of a mold.

9. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 6 , wherein the press-fitting portion includes a second press-fitting portion that is used during production of a sensor.

10. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 9 , wherein a fitting tolerance of the second press-fitting portion is smaller than a fitting tolerance of the press-fitting portion.

11. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the press-fitting portion is plastically deformed and fixed.

12. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the flange is welded to the seat surface.

13. The physical-quantity detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the flange is fixed to the seat surface by a snap fit.
