The content of above-mentioned patent or patented claim is included in this by reference.
Fig. 1 is a structural representation, illustration a kind of electrolysis-type oxygen sensor of prior art.As shown in Figure 1, oxygen sensor 100 comprises solid electrolyte film 110.One side of solid electrolyte film 110 is loaded with working electrode 112, and opposite side is loaded with electrode 114 and optional contrast electrode 116.Usually, working electrode 112 is designed to negative electrode, electrode 114 is designed to anode, and apply a negative bias between working electrode and contrast electrode, the current potential that is about to working electrode is arranged to be lower than the current potential of contrast electrode.Shell 120 comprises housing 122 and cap 124.As shown in Figure 1, housing 122 and cap 124 are connected with helicitic texture, in solid electrolyte film 110 and electrode 112,114 and 116 are encapsulated in.
In sensor 100, cap 124 constitutes an intake assembly with dustproof film 126 and restrictor 130.Wherein, dustproof film 126 is positioned on the cap 124, can be used to prevent that dust and other particulate pollutant from entering sensor 100 by making such as materials such as polypropylene or polyester, and protection solid electrolyte film 110 and working electrode 112 are not contaminated.Cap 124 is positioned on the restrictor 130 and has a pore 128, and pore 128 allows oxygen therefrom to pass through.Restrictor 130 has a diffusion pore 132, and pore 132 is communicated with pore 128 on the cap 124.The hole area of pore 132 and length can be controlled the rate of diffusion that oxygen arrives working electrode 112, and the rate of diffusion of oxygen can further influence oxygen in the reduction reaction rate at working electrode 112 places, the transmission of material and the measurement result of electric current.
The critical component of sensor 100 is electrolyte/electrode, and it comprises solid electrolyte film 110 and electrode 112,114 and 116.Many factors, such as the composition and the processing mode of solid electrolyte film 110, electrode 112,114 and 116 and solid electrolyte film 110 between the technique for fixing and the layout of electrode 112,114 and 116 or the like, all can influence the performance of electrolyte/electrode.For example, solid electrolyte film 110 can be made by Nafion.Electrode 112,114 and 116 can be fixed on the solid electrolyte film 110 by pressure sintering.In addition, electrode 112,114 and 116 platinum wires by sensor 110 inside (not shown) link to each other with 166 with three pins 162,164 respectively.Platinum wire can be connected on three electrodes 112,114 and 116 by the way of contact, and is welded on three pins 162,164 and 166 with conventional art.Pin 162,164 is connected externally measured electronic equipment with 166, for it provides electric current output and biasing input.
Sensor 100 also comprises first and second oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane 142, glass microfiber paper 144, reservoir 150.Wherein, first oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane 142 is positioned at an end of venthole 154, is used to prevent that moisture content from entering described venthole from described electrolyte/electrode inside; Glass microfiber paper 144 is between to electrode 114 and reservoir 150, and glass microfiber paper 144 can help to regulate the humidity in the operating room 140 through sulfuric acid treatment; Second oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane 142 is between pore 132 and operating room 140, and 140 inside enter pore 132 from the operating room to be used for anti-sealing or other materials, and pore 132 is blocked.First and second oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane can be made by Teflon or other suitable materials.Reservoir 150 is positioned at housing 122, and comprises material which can retain moisture 152.Material which can retain moisture 152 can discharge moisture, makes dielectric film 110 keep soaking into fully.Material which can retain moisture 152 can be silica gel, polymkeric substance or the all-glass paper etc. that penetrate with sulfuric acid.
Above the solid electrolyte film 110 and/or below, ring washer 146 can also be set, be used to prevent that oxygen that enters by venthole 154 with air and the oxygen that electrolytic reaction produced from entering operating room 140.
At work, oxygen diffuses to working electrode 112 by pore 132.At working electrode 112 places, oxygen combines with electronics and hydrogen ion, and reduction reaction takes place, and forms hydrone.Reduction reaction is as shown in the formula shown in (1).
O 2+4H ++4e -→2H 2O (1)
Formed hydrone infiltrates solid electrolyte film 110.
To electrode 114 places, hydrone is produced hydrogen ion and electronics by electrolysis.Electrolytic process is as shown in the formula shown in (2).
2H 2O→4H ++O 2+4e - (2)
Because working electrode 112 is set to negative electrode, will be set to anode to electrode 114, so the hydrogen ion that electrolysis produces passes through solid electrolyte film 110 diffusive migrations to working electrode 112, electronics then reaches working electrode 112 by an external circuit.Alternatively, utilize a potentiostatic circuit between working electrode 112 and contrast electrode 116, to apply a negative bias, for working electrode 112 provides a negative potential.Under this current potential, oxygen is caught the electronics of external circuit, and combines with hydrogen ion from solid electrolyte film 110, and the reduction reaction shown in reaction equation (1) takes place, and forms reduction current simultaneously.Because reduction current depends on the wear rate of oxygen, so can determine the oxygen concentration concentration at working electrode 112 places by measuring reduction current.
In addition, be diffused into outside the sensor 110 by venthole 154 at the oxygen that the electrolysis of electrode 114 places is produced.
Because reaction equation (1) and (2) are balances, so the reaction in the sensor 100 is the water that the water to the electrode place is converted to working electrode 112 places, and the oxygen at working electrode 112 places is converted to oxygen to electrode 114 places.Therefore, to be otherwise known as be " oxygen pump " to this oxygen sensor.In addition, electronics is discharging electrode 114 places, and 112 places catch at working electrode.Hydrogen ion is from moving to working electrode 112 to electrode 114 by solid electrolyte film 110.
In the electrolysis-type oxygen sensor, the measuring-signal of sensor 100 is directly proportional with the oxygen concentration concentration that is diffused into working electrode 112 from pore 132.Therefore, in order to guarantee the measuring accuracy of sensor, require oxygen only to enter from pore 132.But by the structure of Fig. 1 as can be known, oxygen also may enter operating room 140 by the slit between restrictor 130 and cap 124, housing 122 and the second oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane 142.In addition, oxygen that enters by venthole 154 with air and the oxygen that electrolytic reaction produced also may enter operating room 140.These never the suitable way oxygen that arrives working electrode 122 measuring-signal of sensor 100 is increased, produce measuring error.
In order to improve the sealing of oxygen sensor, prior art is designed to helicitic texture with housing 122 and cap 124, and above the solid electrolyte film 110 and/or below be provided with ring washer 146.This thread seal structure is that revolving force is converted into pressure, has reduced the slit between each transverse interface.
But above-mentioned thread seal structure makes oxygen sensor have bigger size.The stock size of electrolysis-type oxygen sensor is the about 20.0mm of diameter, highly about 17.0mm.But,, more and more need oxygen sensor miniaturization, easy to carry on the market along with the development of commercial Application.As everyone knows, the conductivity of solid electrolyte is relevant with its liquid water content.When liquid water content descended, the conductivity of solid electrolyte also descended.The liquid water content deficiency can cause sensor failure.Therefore, when design electrolysis-type oxygen sensor, be necessary for reservoir 150 and keep certain space, to hold the material which can retain moisture of q.s.Be 20.0mm, highly be that the amount of material which can retain moisture 152 can satisfy the use needs of solid electrolyte in the reservoir 150 in the oxygen sensor of 17.0mm at the diameter that adopts above-mentioned thread seal structure.But, when needs are made the electrolysis-type oxygen sensor of smaller szie, dwindle the volume that oxygen sensor can dwindle reservoir greatly in proportion, cause the material which can retain moisture deficiency, influence the performance of sensor.
In addition, with cap 124 spiral covers to housing 122 time, reverse and squeezing action be easy to make be connected electrode 112,114 and 116 and pin 162,164 and 166 between the conduction platinum wire fracture.Simultaneously, ring washer 146 also can be shifted under twisting action, has increased sealing difficulty.
Have again, present commercial electrolysis-type oxygen sensor all is to be with the plastic plate of pore as restrictor 130, control oxygen is to the rate of propagation of working electrode, wish that restriction thus is used to characterize the size of the measurement electric current of oxygen concentration, with the electric current output constraint of oxygen sensor in a suitable scope.But when technologies such as adopting boring and laser boring adds man-hour to plastic plate, the hole tolerance of pore will reach ± 0.01mm.The inconsistent meeting in this pore aperture causes different product sensors that the gas of same concentrations is produced different signal output, causes the signal output area of sensor very big, thereby influences the consistance of product sensor to a certain extent.
In addition, electrolysis-type oxygen sensor in the market uses the Nafion film of E.I.Du Pont Company's production as the solid electrolyte in the sensor mostly.But this film can expand when suction, and linear expansivity can reach 10%-15%.Therefore, the life-span of film is shorter.Simultaneously, the electrode that the expansion of dielectric film also can cause being fixed on its both sides also deforms, thereby and even influences the stability of the stability sensor measurement of electrode reaction.In addition, the Nafion film is anisotropic, its expansivity difference on all directions, and this anisotropic expansion can cause its two lateral electrode also different in the distortion of all directions, thereby influences the serviceable life of electrode.
On the other hand, when the oxygen sensor of employing Nafion film used in the environment of drying, the Nafion film was easy to dehydration.Because the conductivity of dielectric film is very strong to the dependence of liquid water content,, thereby make the response time of sensor elongated so the dehydration meeting of Nafion film causes its conductivity to descend.Finally, sensor lost efficacy because of signal reduces.
Therefore, be desirable to provide a kind of novel oxygen sensor structure, this structure can provide good sealing property for oxygen sensor.
It would also be desirable to provide a kind of novel electrolysis-type oxygen sensor structure, this structure not only can guarantee that oxygen sensor still can effectively work under undersized situation, and can not influence its sealing in assembling process.
In addition, it would also be desirable to provide a kind of finished product consistance oxygen sensor preferably.
In addition, it would also be desirable to provide that a kind of measurement stability is good, long service life and have the good resistance dryness can the electrolysis-type oxygen sensor.

Fig. 2 illustration the solid electrolyte oxygen sensor 200 of the utility model one embodiment.Oxygen sensor 200 comprises intake assembly, electrolyte/electrode, first and second oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane, glass microfiber paper and reservoir, wherein the structure of electrolyte/electrode, first and second oxygen permeable/waterproof membrane, glass microfiber paper and reservoir and shown in Figure 1 basic identical no longer repeats here.But the structure of the utility model intake assembly and the structure of housing are with shown in Figure 1 different.
In solid electrolyte oxygen sensor of the present utility model, shell 220 comprises housing 222, but no longer comprises cap.Intake assembly comprises dustproof film 126 and restrictor 230, and wherein dustproof film 126 is located immediately on the restrictor 230, is used to prevent that dust and other particulate pollutant from entering sensor 200, and protection solid electrolyte film 110 and working electrode 112 are not contaminated.Dustproof film 126 can be by making such as materials such as polypropylene or polyester.Restrictor 230 has at least one insertion portion 270 on its side surface.Correspondingly, on the inside surface of housing 222, have a recessed portion at least, allow insertion portion 270 to insert wherein.In order to guarantee sealing, the shape of recessed portion preferably is complementary with the shape of insertion portion basically.Insertion portion 270 can be two or more discrete projections, also can be a back-shaped body around the side surface formation of restrictor 230.Fig. 3 a is a vertical view, shows a routine restrictor 230 and has 6 discrete projections.These 6 projections are distributed on the side surface of restrictor 230 in twos axisymmetrically.Fig. 3 b shows another routine restrictor 230, and projection 270 constitutes a back-shaped body around the side surface of restrictor 230.In another embodiment, projection 270 is not set, but the whole transverse width D1 of restrictor 230 is arranged to make the recessed degree of depth of the recessed portion of housing 222 be substantially equal to (D1-D2)/2 simultaneously greater than width D 2 surperficial within the housing 222.In assembling process, can utilize the elasticity of the material of restrictor 230 and housing 222 that the insertion portion 270 of restrictor 230 is snapped in the recessed portion of housing 222.Assembling in one embodiment, is made chamfering with insertion portion 270 towards an end of working electrode 112 for convenience.Simultaneously, the recessed portion of housing 222 is made corresponding shape.
In the structure of above-mentioned oxygen sensor of the present utility model, omitted cap, and between restrictor 230 and housing 222, designed a bayonet arrangement.The omission of cap has reduced the height of oxygen sensor, has also dwindled the transverse width of oxygen sensor simultaneously.Utilize the oxygen sensor of structure fabrication stock size like this, for example diameter is 20.0mm, highly is the oxygen sensor of 17.0mm, and the volume of its reservoir 150 can reach 400 μ l.And by the oxygen sensor of the same size of prior art structure fabrication, the volume of its reservoir 150 has only 100 μ 1.As seen, the structure of the utility model oxygen sensor has increased the space proportion that reservoir 150 occupies in sensor.Therefore, when needs are made undersized solid electrolyte oxygen sensor, still can be for reservoir provides a bigger space, to hold enough material which can retain moisture.Simultaneously, design one bayonet arrangement not only can guarantee the sealing of oxygen sensor 200 between restrictor 230 and housing 222, can also reduce the probability that the conduction platinum wire fractures in the oxygen sensor assembling process, and ring washer 146 can not be shifted yet.
