Abstract
Structure for mounting a knock sensor () on an engine includes the sensor () comprised of an annular main body () and an external connecting portion (). The knock sensor () is secured onto a mounting seat () formed on the engine for detecting vibration thereof transmitted to a piezoelectric element () from the mounting seat () through the main cylindrical metal member (). The mounting structure includes a clamping member () extending through a through-hole () for fixing the main body () on the seat (), an engine-side engaging portion () radially distanced from the axis of the clamping member () and a bearing portion () provided on the sensor () and adapted to engage with the engine-side engaging portion (). The knock sensor can be mounted easily with harness layout design being facilitated because the knock sensor is prevented from rotation upon mounting thereof.
