Detailed Description
The invention relates to a heat control component of an oxygen sensor, which is used for heating the oxygen sensor so as to realize the normal operation of the oxygen sensor, and the traditional heating circuit insulation is to print an insulating layer on a zirconia substrate printed with the heating circuit by a screen printing technology. The method has high requirements on a printing process, if the defects occur in the printing process, the performance of the oxygen sensor chip is greatly influenced, and meanwhile, the insulation requirement between a chip heating layer and a signal layer is increasingly improved based on the material characteristics of the change of the conductivity of the zirconia after the temperature is increased and the development trend of miniaturization of the current chip, so that the development of a new insulation mode is imperative.
Therefore, the same effect as that of the heating circuit insulating layer is achieved by changing the structure of the traditional oxygen sensor and adopting a structure with lower process requirements (the traditional insulating layer corresponds to the transition layer in the structure of the invention, and is distinguished by different names in order to avoid confusion with the traditional product structure).
Compared with the traditional oxygen sensor, the oxygen sensor has the advantages that functionally, the transition layer and the insulating layer can play the same role of protecting the heating circuit and maintaining the insulation; in the aspect of process manufacturing difficulty, the process requirement of the insulating layer is high, the technical requirement on a manufacturer is high, the process requirement of the transition layer is low, and the process technology which is common in the industry is adopted, so that the technical requirement is reduced, more manufacturers can participate in production, the technical threshold of the product is reduced, and the production scale of the product is enlarged.
The specific structure and principle for achieving the above advantages will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1:
the invention is formed by laminating 10 layers of substrates, and for convenience of description, the right side of each layer of substrate is marked with a serial number in the attached figure 1.
In the present invention, there are 10 layers of substrates, wherein the upper 5 layers of substrates and the lower 5 layers of substrates are symmetrical, i.e., the nth layer of substrates and the (11-n) th layer of substrates are the same.
For the sake of simplicity, the substrate of the nth layer is referred to as the n layer. The 1 layer and the 10 layers are protective layers, the 2 layer, the 3 layer, the 4 layer, the 7 layer, the 8 layer and the 9 layer are transition layers, and the 5 layer and the 6 layer are circuit layers.
Wherein the wiring layers are printed with heating wiring by a screen printing technique, and the heating wiring is printed on a surface of one of the layers, which is a face opposite to the other, and 5 and 6 layers each of which is a 50 μm 100% alumina matrix.
The protective layers were 1 and 10 layers, and each of the two substrates was laminated by isostatic pressing of 6 100 μm sheets of zirconia.
The 6 layers of the transition layer are further divided into a partial aluminum layer, an intermediate layer and a partial zirconium layer from near to far according to the distance from the circuit layer. The 4 layers and the 7 layers are aluminum partial layers, and the aluminum partial layers are prepared by mixing 20 percent of zirconia and 80 percent of alumina and casting into a matrix with the thickness of 90 mu m; 3 layers and 8 layers are intermediate layers, and the intermediate layers are prepared by mixing and casting 50% of zirconia and 50% of alumina into a matrix with the thickness of 70 mu m; the 2 and 9 layers are zirconium oxide layers, and the zirconium oxide layer is a matrix which is mixed and cast into a thickness of 50 μm by 80% of zirconium oxide and 20% of aluminum oxide.
The heating circuit of the circuit layer is printed by a screen printing technology, all the substrates (all 1-10 layers of substrates) are laminated together by the circuit layer, the transition layer and the protective layer through an isostatic pressing technology, and the heating circuit is completely wrapped in the zirconium oxide to form the chip body. Obviously, the heating circuit is protected by printing an insulating layer by using a screen printing technology in the conventional process, and the structural design is realized by completely wrapping the heating circuit in zirconia by laminating a plurality of layers of matrixes through an isostatic pressing technology, so that the protection is realized, and the isostatic pressing technology has lower requirements (the screen printing technology is not difficult per se, but the insulation of the circuit is not easy to realize by using the printing technology) and is easier to realize than the screen printing technology.
In order to ensure the determination of the size of the chip during sintering, the shrinkage rate of the chip sintering is controlled by the particle size of slurry and the ball milling time, so that the size of the chip is controlled within a tolerance range, the volume change caused by the difference of thermal expansion coefficients is reduced by a pressure sintering mode in the binder removal sintering process, the average particle size of aluminum powder in the slurry is required to be 1.21 mu m, superfine talcum powder is also adopted as a sintering aid in the slurry besides the aluminum powder, toluene and n-butyl alcohol are adopted as a mixed solvent, polyvinyl butyral is adopted as an adhesive, polyethylene glycol is adopted as a plasticizer, fish oil is adopted as a dispersant, the 250-mesh sieve is adopted as a standard after ball milling, and the specific ball milling time can be referred as:
1 layer and 10 layers are 100% zirconia matrix, and the ball milling time is controlled to be 24 h;
5 layers and 6 layers are 100% alumina matrix, and the ball milling time is controlled to be 3 h;
the transition layers (including 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers, 7 layers, 8 layers and 9 layers) can be used for setting the ball milling time according to the proportion of the slurry, and the time is controlled to be between 3 and 24 hours, and an example is provided below for reference;
the 2 layers and the 9 layers are mixed matrixes of 80 percent of zirconia and 20 percent of alumina, and the ball milling time is 19 hours;
3 layers and 8 layers are mixed matrixes of 50 percent of zirconium oxide and 50 percent of aluminum oxide, and the ball milling time is 14 hours;
the 4 layers and 7 layers are mixed matrix of 20 percent zirconia and 80 percent alumina, and the casting time is 9 h.
The slurry after ball milling of each matrix needs to be kept still for defoaming and then is subjected to tape casting, wherein the tape casting thickness is the thickness of each layer of matrix mentioned above. The specific operation process is well known in the industry and will not be described herein.
The technical solutions described above only represent the preferred technical solutions of the present invention, and some possible modifications to some parts of the technical solutions by those skilled in the art all represent the principles of the present invention, and fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
