Patent number: 11835439Abstract: A sensor device includes a housing that has a sensor element inserted therein and holds the sensor element such that a detection unit is positioned at the tip end thereof in the axial direction, and an element cover disposed coaxially with the tip end. A tip surface of the outer cover has a plurality of outer tip surface holes provided outward from positions opposing the outer periphery of an inner tip surface hole. The tip surface of the outer cover includes a central portion which protrudes towards the inner tip surface hole, an outer peripheral portion in which the outer tip surface holes are formed and which is positioned farther toward the tip end than is the central portion, and an inclined surface connects the central portion to the outer tip surface holes.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yuto Tamei, Koichi Yoshida, Takehito Kimata

Patent number: 11448574Abstract: A sensor device is equipped with a housing having an element cover retaining a sensor element such that a detection section of the sensor element is positioned at the tip end of the sensor element. The element cover includes an inner cover provided with inner side holes and an inner tip face hole respectively provided therein, and an outer cover provided with outer side holes in a side thereof, with the tip position of the outer side holes located closer to the tip end than is the tip position of the inner cover. Between the outer surface of the inner cover and the inner surface of the outer cover there is a large clearance section at the tip end and a small clearance section at the base end, providing a flow path that is shaped for connecting the large clearance section and the small clearance section without a step.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yuto Tamei, Hirofumi Noda, Takehito Kimata, Takashi Araki

Patent number: 11422069Abstract: A sensor device includes an element cover at the tip end of a housing, retaining a sensor element. An outer cover is provided with outer side holes, with the tip position of the outer side holes being farther toward the tip end than is the tip position of an inner cover, and a first flow passage having a gas flow direction that is at right angles to the axial direction is formed at the inner side of the outer cover. An inner side hole in the inner cover is open to a second flow passage provided between the side surfaces of the inner cover and the outer cover, and a detection surface of the sensor element is located on an extension line in an extension direction of a guide member which extends obliquely into the interior of the inner cover from the tip-position edge of the inner side hole.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yuto Tamei, Takashi Araki, Hirofumi Noda, Takehito Kimata, Koichi Yoshida

Patent number: 10557815Abstract: A sensor element which has a pair of positive and negative detection electrodes disposed on a surface of an insulation body as a detecting portion and a cover body configured to cover an opening of a cylindrical housing. The cover body is provided with gas inlet and outlet holes via which the measuring gas is introduced and discharged. The pair of detection electrodes have a plurality of wire electrodes. The wire electrodes electrically connected to the positive electrode and the wire electrodes electrically connected to the negative electrode are alternately arranged in parallel. Any one of a first insulation layer which is a narrow electrode interval Dn and a second insulation layer which is a wide electrode interval Dw, arranged between adjacent wire electrodes, and the first insulation layer arranged in a center part of the detecting portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Masahiro Yamamoto, Masayuki Tamura, Go Miyagawa, Toru Katafuchi, Takehito Kimata, Yuto Tamei
