Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the detection accuracy of an oxygen concn. sensor by improving the replacement of gas to be detected in a protective cover. SOLUTION: A wall 26 as a Ventri wall lowering the pressure in the vicinity of the leading end opening part 27 formed to the bottom surface of a protective cover 25 is formed on the upstream side of the opening part 27 and, since the Venturi effect in the leading end opening part 27 becomes large, the replacement of the exhaust gas in the protective cover 25 is improved. Since the side surface of the protective cover 25 is formed in a streamlined shape and the occurrence of a vortex flow on the downstream side of the protective cover 25 can be prevented, adhesion of foreign matter in the exhaust gas to a sensor element 23 can be suppressed.

2. Description of the Related Art In an oxygen concentration sensor for detecting the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas, in order to prevent foreign matter such as carbon in the exhaust gas from adhering to a detection element and deteriorating the detection accuracy,
A protection cover is provided so as to cover the detection element. This protective cover is provided with a gas inlet on its side to guide the exhaust gas to the detection element, but foreign matter enters through this gas inlet, so that the flow of exhaust gas on the side of the protective cover is restricted. It is known that a gas inlet hole is provided on a side surface located downstream to prevent foreign matter from entering through the gas inlet hole (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-135649). In this oxygen concentration sensor, exhaust gas is taken in from the downstream side of the protective cover and guided to the detection element. And
Since the pressure of the exhaust gas is low and the density of the foreign matter is low on the downstream side of the protective cover, the exhaust gas with little foreign matter is guided to the detection element.

[0003] However, in this oxygen concentration sensor, since the exhaust gas is introduced from the gas introduction hole and the exhaust gas is discharged from the gas introduction hole, the exchange of the exhaust gas in the protective cover is poor, and the detection accuracy is low. Therefore, the present applicant has provided a gas introduction hole on the side of the protective cover that is located downstream of the flow of the gas to be detected, and further provided a gas exhaust hole on the bottom of the protective cover. An oxygen concentration sensor was proposed earlier (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 9-190).
032). According to the proposed oxygen concentration sensor, the exhaust gas flowing into the protection cover from the gas introduction hole is discharged from the gas discharge hole provided on the bottom surface of the protection cover.
The replacement of the exhaust gas in the protective cover is improved, and the detection accuracy of the oxygen concentration sensor is improved.

In the oxygen concentration sensor proposed above, the pressure difference between the pressure in the gas flow path and the pressure in the protective cover near the gas exhaust hole provided on the bottom surface of the protective cover. Because of its small size, exhaust gas is hardly discharged from the gas discharge holes, and there is still room for improvement in the detection accuracy of the oxygen concentration sensor.

[0005] Further, since the protective cover is formed in a columnar shape, the protective cover becomes a resistance to the flow of the exhaust gas, and the pressure around the protective cover increases. For this reason, in the flow of the exhaust gas around the protective cover, a streamline along the surface of the protective cover on the upstream side surface of the protective cover peels off from the surface of the protective cover on the way, and the flow is separated. Then, a vortex is generated on the downstream side of the protective cover, and foreign matter in the exhaust gas flows into the protective cover from the gas introduction hole due to the vortex. As a result, there is a problem that foreign matter adheres to the detection element, and there is room for improvement in detection accuracy of the oxygen concentration sensor.

Next, the operation and effect of the oxygen concentration sensor according to this embodiment will be described.

Sensor element 23
It is led to. Here, since the pressure on the downstream side of the protective cover 25 is low and the density of foreign matter in the exhaust gas is low, exhaust gas with less foreign matter is introduced into the protective cover 25, and furthermore, the protective cover 25 is opened through the side opening 28. Since the foreign matter in the exhaust gas introduced into the airbag is caught by the intermediate protective cover 30,
Foreign matter in the exhaust gas is prevented from adhering to the sensor element 23 and the detection accuracy of the oxygen concentration sensor 20 is prevented from deteriorating.

Exhaust gas in the protective cover 25 is exhausted from an opening 27 at the bottom of the protective cover 25. Here, the flow of the exhaust gas near the bottom surface of the protective cover 25 flows as shown by an arrow O in FIG. 1 by a wall 26 formed on the upstream side of a tip opening 27 on the bottom surface of the protective cover 25.
In the vicinity of the distal end opening 27, the flow flows as indicated by an arrow r in FIG.
Due to the wall 26 as the venturi wall, the flow velocity in the vicinity of the distal end opening 27 is increased, the pressure in the gas passage near the distal end opening 27 is reduced, and the pressure difference from the pressure in the protective cover 25 is increased. As a result, the venturi effect at the distal end opening 27 increases, and the exhaust gas is easily discharged from the distal end opening 27, and the amount of gas discharged from the distal opening 27 and the side opening 28 into the protective cover 25. Since the amount of gas flowing in increases, the exchange of the exhaust gas in the protective cover 25 is improved.

Further, since the side surface of the protective cover 25 is formed in a streamline shape, an increase in pressure around the protective cover 25 is reduced. Therefore, the flow of the exhaust gas around the protective cover 25 does not cause the streamline along the surface of the protective cover 25 to separate from the protective cover 25 as shown by the arrow R in FIG. Since the generation can be suppressed, the foreign matter in the exhaust gas can be suppressed from flowing into the protective cover 25 through the side opening 28, and the foreign matter in the exhaust gas adheres to the sensor element 23 and the oxygen concentration sensor 2
Deterioration of the detection accuracy of 0 is reliably prevented.
