Abstract
A knocking sensor having a thin vibrating plate (10) receiving sound produced from an engine. The vibrating plate is applied with a piezoelectric element (11) which delivers electric output in proportion to the vibration. The resonance frequency of the vibrating plate is made same as the knocking frequency. A resonant tube (20) for forming resonating cavity is attached in front of the vibrating plate. A sound collector (30) is provided in front of the vibrating plate. A duct (50) is arranged between the sound collector and the sensor to improve sensitivity and freedom of mounting of the sensor.
