Definitions

  • the invention is based on a gas sensor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a gas sensor is known for example from EP 0506897 B1 for use in exhaust gas analysis of internal combustion engines.
  • Such gas sensors have a metallic housing in which an elongated, planar sensor element with an area on the measurement side and a connection side is arranged in an electrically insulated manner. In the area on the connection side, the sensor element has contact surfaces which are electrically connected to a measuring point located in the area on the measurement side.
  • the gas sensor furthermore has a contacting device which contains conductor elements which are in conductive connection with the contact surfaces of the sensor element and are led out of the housing.
  • the conductor elements are pressed onto the contact surfaces by a spring element acting on a contact holder.
  • the areas of the contact holder which bear against the conductor elements are flat.
  • Such gas sensors are used to measure temperature or to determine the concentration of gas components in exhaust gases from internal combustion engines.
  • the gas sensor is fastened in a measurement opening of an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine.
  • the exhaust gas can reach temperatures of over 1000 degrees Celsius in the exhaust pipe, so that the gas sensor is heated up strongly and temperatures of up to 800 degrees Celsius occur in the area of the contacting device.
  • the conductor elements can deform due to flow processes.
  • the deflection of the spring element from its rest position and thus the contact pressure can be reduced and the contact of the conductor elements with the contact surfaces can be impaired or completely interrupted.
  • EP 0 087 626 B1 also discloses a gas sensor with a clamp contact, with which U-shaped conductor elements are brought into contact with contact surfaces of a planar sensor element by means of a contact holder.
  • the contact holder has a slot
  • Sensor element are fixed by the contact holder and brought into conductive connection.
  • the other leg of the conductor element is arranged in one of the through holes.
  • a spring element for the non-positive connection of the conductor element to the contact surface of the sensor element is not provided in this clamping contact.
  • Conductor element can be largely prevented due to flow processes even at high temperatures, for example in the range of 800 degrees Celsius, so that an impairment of the contacting of the sensor element is excluded.
  • the conductor element is arranged in a recess of the contact holder and is only in contact with the contact surface with an area protruding from the recess of the contact holder means that deformation of at least the part of the conductor element located in the recess of the contact holder is reduced or completely prevented becomes.
  • the contact pressure exerted by the spring element is at least largely maintained even at high temperatures, which ensures sufficient contact between the conductor element and the contact surface of the sensor element.
  • Flow processes are particularly reliably prevented if the conductor element protrudes from the recess of the contact holder with less than half of its cross-sectional area. Because the larger part of the conductor element lies in the recess, only the smaller part of the conductor element protruding from the recess can be subjected to deformation, so that the Reduction of the contact pressure by flow processes of the conductor element is minimized.
  • the fact that the part of the conductor element lying in the recess fills more than half of the recess in cross section means that the loss of bias due to the deformation of the conductor element in the recess which occurs during operation at high temperatures is low.
  • the loss of preload can also be calculated since the conductor element can only flow until the depression is completely filled. The loss of preload can thus be compensated for by providing a spring element which has a correspondingly higher preload in the depression before the conductor element is deformed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross section through an embodiment of a gas sensor according to the invention with a
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view of the contacting device along the line II - II in Figure 3 and Figure 3 is a sectional view of the contacting device along the line III - in Figure 2. Description of the embodiment
  • FIG. 1 shows a gas sensor 10 with a metallic housing 30, in which a connection-side and a measurement gas-side ceramic molded part 35, 37 are arranged.
  • the two ceramic molded parts 35, 37 each have an opening 43 which is aligned with one another and in which there is a plate-shaped sensor element 21 with an end section 41 on the measurement gas side and an end section 42 on the connection side.
  • a sealing element 36 is arranged between the ceramic molded part 35, 37 on the connection side and the measuring gas side.
  • the measuring gas-side end section 41 of the sensor element 21 protrudes from the housing 30 and is surrounded by a protective tube 32, which is fixed to the housing 30.
  • the gas sensor 10 is fastened by means of a collar 34 in a measurement opening (not shown) of a measurement gas space, for example an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine.
  • the gas to be measured reaches a measuring point 40 located on the measuring gas-side end section 41 of the sensor element 21 through inlet and outlet openings 33 of the protective tube 32.
  • connection-side end section 42 of the sensor element 21 has contact surfaces 22, for which a contacting device 20 with conductor elements 23, contact holders 24 and a spring element 25 is provided.
  • the conductor elements 23 lead out of the housing 30 into a connecting line, not shown, which is connected to an evaluation electronics, also not shown.
  • the housing 30 is closed on the connection side by a disk 29 which has openings for the conductor elements 23.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show an enlarged representation of the area of the contacting device 20 of the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1.
  • the connection-side end section 42 of the sensor element 21 has four contact surfaces 22, two of which are each arranged on the two outer large surfaces of the sensor element 21.
  • the two contact holders 24 of the contacting device 20 each have two depressions 26 on the side facing the sensor element 21, in which the conductor elements 23 are arranged in a form-fitting manner. With the part protruding from the depressions 26, the conductor elements 23 are in contact with the respective contact surfaces 22 of the sensor element 21. The conductor elements 23 are pressed onto the contact surfaces 22 by the spring element 25 acting on the contact holders 24.
  • the recess 26 of the contact holder 24 is not only provided on the side facing the contact surfaces 22 of the sensor element 21, but also runs around the contact holder 24 on the side facing the measuring gas space and at least in some areas on the side facing away from the contact surfaces 22 of the sensor element 21.
  • the conductor element 23 runs in this recess 26 and is fixed to the contact holder 24 by its corresponding hook-like shape.
  • the spring element 25 lies in a latching step 27 of the two contact holders 24 and presses the conductor elements 23 onto the respective contact surfaces 22 of the sensor element 21 via the contact holder 24.
  • the latching step 27 is at the level of the
  • Contact surfaces 22 arranged, that is, the contact surfaces 22 are at least partially in the interior of the annular spring element 25 located in the latching step 27.
  • the contact holders 24 have a further latching step 28, in which the spring element 25 rests without bias and from which can be pushed out of the spring element 25 via a slope 39 onto the locking step 27.
  • the contact holders 24 consist of a ceramic material, preferably of A1 2 0 3 .
  • the conductor elements 23 consist of a high temperature-resistant material, preferably nickel (99.6%) or NiCr2MnSi (2.4146).
  • the conductor elements 23 have a round cross-sectional area, are positively introduced into the depressions 26 of the contact holders 24 and protrude from the depressions 26 with approximately a third of their cross-sectional area.
  • Other embodiments of the invention are conceivable in which the conductor elements have, for example, rectangular or oval cross-sectional areas. It is also conceivable that the conductor elements do not lie positively in the recesses of the contact holders during assembly.
  • the choice of the cross-sectional areas of the conductor element and recess ensures that the conductor element deforms only to such an extent that the part of the conductor element protruding from the recess sinks only slightly into the recess due to the deformation, and thus the Bias loss remains low.
  • the sensor element 21 has four contact surfaces 22.
  • a sensor element is used, for example, in gas sensors, which are used to measure the concentration of an exhaust gas component, for example oxygen, in exhaust gases from internal combustion engines. It is readily possible for a person skilled in the art to transfer the invention to other gas sensors whose sensor elements have more or less than four contact surfaces.
  • temperature sensors that use the method of a Resistance measurements often work on two contact surfaces. If the contact surfaces are arranged on opposite outer surfaces of the sensor element, an indentation, for example in the center of each contact holder, is sufficient to accommodate a conductor element. If all contact surfaces are arranged on the same outer surface of the sensor element, the conductor elements on the side opposite the contact surfaces can be omitted, so that the contact holder lies directly on the sensor element on this side. It is also conceivable to build the
