Abstract

To enhance responsivity of temperature sensor detecting an engine temperature. A temperature sensor component 40 includes a metal washer 42 . The temperature sensor component 40 transfers the engine temperature to a sensor body 46 via the heat transfer washer 42 . A cylinder portion 8 of a cylinder block 64 has two bosses 30 . The washer 42 of the temperature sensor component 40 is fixed to the boss 30 together with the electronic control unit 20.

Claims (39)

1. A portable working machine including a control unit controlling the portable working machine using an engine temperature as a parameter, the portable working machine comprising:

an air-cooled engine body;

a boss formed at a cylinder portion of a cylinder block of the engine body;

the control unit fixed by a bolt fastened to the boss; and

a temperature sensor component including a heat transfer terminal, the temperature sensor component detecting the engine temperature of the engine body and supplying the detected engine temperature to the control unit,

wherein the heat transfer terminal is interposed between the boss and the control unit, and the heat transfer terminal and the control unit are fixed to the boss by the bolt,

wherein the control unit includes a base plate supporting the control unit, and

the control unit is fixed to the boss via the base plate.

2. The portable working machine of claim 1 , wherein the engine body is formed by a single cylinder 2-stroke internal combustion engine.

3. The portable working machine of claim 2 , wherein

the engine body has a fan rotor fixed to a crankshaft and a magnet arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the fan rotor,

the control unit has an iron core extended from the control unit toward the fan rotor, and

the magnet and the iron core partially form a power generating mechanism.

4. The portable working machine of claim 1 , wherein a heat insulating sleeve is interposed between the base plate and the heat transfer terminal.

5. The portable working machine of claim 4 , wherein

the engine body has a fan rotor fixed to a crankshaft and a magnet arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the fan rotor,

the control unit has an iron core extended from the control unit toward the fan rotor, and

the magnet and the iron core partially form a power generating mechanism.

6. The portable working machine of claim 1 , wherein

the engine body has a fan rotor fixed to a crankshaft and a magnet arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the fan rotor,

the control unit has an iron core extended from the control unit toward the fan rotor, and

the magnet and the iron core partially form a power generating mechanism.

7. The portable working machine of claim 1 , wherein

the engine body has a fan rotor fixed to a crankshaft and a magnet arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the fan rotor,

the control unit has an iron core extended from the control unit toward the fan rotor, and

the magnet and the iron core partially form a power generating mechanism.

8. The portable working machine of claim 1 , wherein the heat transfer terminal is a heat transfer washer.

9. A portable working machine including a control unit controlling the portable working machine using an engine temperature as a parameter, the portable working machine comprising:

an air-cooled engine body, wherein the engine body has a fan rotor fixed to a crankshaft and a magnet arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the fan rotor;

a boss formed at a cylinder portion of a cylinder block of the engine body;

the control unit fixed by a bolt fastened to the boss, wherein the control unit has an iron core extended from the control unit toward the fan rotor, and the magnet and the iron core partially form a power generating mechanism; and

a temperature sensor component including a heat transfer terminal, the temperature sensor component detecting the engine temperature of the engine body and supplying the detected engine temperature to the control unit,

wherein the heat transfer terminal is interposed between the boss and the control unit, and the heat transfer terminal and the control unit are fixed to the boss by the bolt.

10. The portable working machine of claim 9 , wherein the engine body is formed by a single cylinder 2-stroke internal combustion engine.

11. The portable working machine of claim 10 , wherein

the control unit includes a base plate supporting the control unit, and

the control unit is fixed to the boss via the base plate.

12. The portable working machine of claim 11 , wherein a heat insulating sleeve is interposed between the base plate and the heat transfer terminal.

13. The portable working machine of claim 9 , wherein the heat transfer terminal is a heat transfer washer.
