Ceramic member unit and sensor provided with same
A ceramic member unit includes at least insertion members and a ceramic member having insertion sections into which the insertion members are inserted respectively. Each of the insertion sections has at least an insertion opening which opens on a deeper side of an introduction opening in the surface of the ceramic member while communicating with the introduction opening and into which the insertion member can be inserted. The insertion section further has taper hole portions becoming narrower toward the insertion opening in a communication region between the introduction opening and the insertion opening. The taper hole portions are connected to the insertion opening while increasing in a taper angle toward the insertion opening.
1. A sensor comprising at least:
an insertion member and
a ceramic member having an insertion section into which the insertion member is inserted;
the sensor being characterized in that
the insertion section has at least an insertion opening which opens on a deeper side of an introduction opening in a surface of the ceramic member while communicating with the introduction opening and into which the insertion member can be inserted;
the insertion section further has a taper hole portion in a region through which the introduction opening and the insertion opening communicate with each other, the taper hole portion becoming narrower toward the insertion opening; and
the taper hole portion is connected to the insertion opening while increasing in taper angle toward the insertion opening,
wherein the insertion section forms a through hole extending from the insertion opening toward a deeper side, and
wherein the sensor further comprises a sensor element extending in a direction of an axial line, the ceramic member is a separator, and the insertion member is a lead wire electrically connected to the sensor element.
2. A sensor comprising at least:
an insertion member and
a ceramic member having an insertion section into which the insertion member is inserted;
the sensor being characterized in that
the insertion section has at least an insertion opening which opens on a deeper side of an introduction opening in a surface of the ceramic member while communicating with the introduction opening and into which the insertion member can be inserted;
the insertion section further has a straight portion and a deeper-side taper hole portion in this order from the introduction opening in a region through which the introduction opening and the insertion opening communicate with each other;
the straight portion extends from the introduction opening toward the insertion opening; and
the deeper-side taper hole portion is connected to the insertion opening while becoming narrower from the straight portion toward the insertion opening,
wherein the insertion section forms a through hole extending from the insertion opening toward a deeper side, and
wherein the sensor further comprises a sensor element extending in a direction of an axial line, the ceramic member is a separator, and the insertion member is a lead wire electrically connected to the sensor element.
