本発明は内燃機関などの排ガス中の酸素濃度を検知する
ヒータ付酸素センサとその製造方法に関するものである
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an oxygen sensor with a heater that detects the oxygen concentration in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, etc., and a method for manufacturing the sensor.
従来から、ジルコニア焼結体などのイオン伝導固体質(
固体電解質板)に一対の電極を設け、一方の電極側には
被測定ガス中の酸素分圧を、他方の電極側には大気の酸
素分圧を印加し、これら被測定ガスの酸素分圧と基準と
なる大気の酸素分圧との差によって生ずる起電力(又は

般に広く利用されている。Traditionally, ion-conducting solid materials such as zirconia sintered bodies (
A pair of electrodes is provided on a solid electrolyte plate, and the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas to be measured is applied to one electrode, and the partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen is applied to the other electrode. Oxygen sensors that measure oxygen concentration based on the electromotive force (or electrical resistance) generated by the difference between the atmospheric oxygen partial pressure and the reference atmospheric oxygen partial pressure are generally widely used.
また、上記の如き酸素センサにおいて固体電解質表面や
電極近傍には排ガス中に存在するカーボン粉末や未燃焼
粒子等が付着し易く、測定誤差を生じたり、特性の劣化
を招く原因をなしていた。Furthermore, in the above oxygen sensor, carbon powder, unburned particles, etc. present in the exhaust gas tend to adhere to the solid electrolyte surface or near the electrodes, causing measurement errors and deterioration of characteristics.
そのため、酸素センサには、表面に付着した汚染物質の
除去や、低温におけるガス惑応性の向上など双方の目的
を果たすため、酸素センサ自体を800℃程度に加熱す
るためのヒータを併設したものが使用されている。For this reason, some oxygen sensors are equipped with a heater to heat the oxygen sensor itself to about 800°C in order to accomplish both purposes, such as removing contaminants attached to the surface and improving gas response at low temperatures. It is used.

白金ペーストを印刷手法により所定のパターンが埋設さ
れてなるセラミックヒータHを積層一体化し焼結して製
作した酸素センサが使用されていた。That is, as shown in the main part cross-sectional view in FIG. 5 (corresponding to the Y--Y line cross section in FIG. 2 as an example of the present invention), platinum is applied to both sides of the zirconia ceramic plate J as a solid electrolyte. A ceramic heater H, which has a predetermined pattern embedded in an alumina ceramic body using a printing method using platinum paste, is laminated and manufactured by laminating and sintering the sensor part S, which is constructed by providing electrodes P+ and P2 using a metallization method or the like. An oxygen sensor was used.
ところが、上記の如き、セラミックヒータを一体的に備

これには一般に白金ペーストを印刷手法により所定のパ
ターンにプリントしたものをセラミックの焼結と併せて
高温度で焼付けている。However, in the oxygen sensor integrally equipped with a ceramic heater as described above, since the sensor S and the heater H are integrally sintered, the zirconia ceramic as the solid electrolyte is not sintered. It is necessary to sinter in an atmosphere at a temperature that is suitable for sintering. Moreover, platinum electrodes are provided on both sides of the zirconia ceramic plate, which is a solid electrolyte.
Generally, this involves printing platinum paste into a predetermined pattern using a printing method, and baking it at a high temperature in conjunction with ceramic sintering.
このように、セラミックヒータもセンサと同時焼結し、
一体化するものであるため白金電極の焼付と同一条件で
焼成できる白金ペーストでもってヒータの発熱抵抗パタ
ーンも構成する必要がある。In this way, the ceramic heater is also co-sintered with the sensor,
Since the heater is integrated, it is also necessary to construct the heating resistance pattern of the heater using a platinum paste that can be fired under the same conditions as the platinum electrode.
したがってセンサを為す白金電極だけでなく、ヒータの
発熱抵抗体をも白金を用いることからコスト的に非常に
高価なものとなる。また発熱抵抗体が白金より成る場合
、抵抗温度係数が小さいため発熱温度のコントロールが
難しく、かつ消費電力が大きいという欠点があった。Therefore, since platinum is used not only for the platinum electrode forming the sensor but also for the heating resistor of the heater, the cost becomes very high. Furthermore, when the heating resistor is made of platinum, the temperature coefficient of resistance is small, making it difficult to control the heating temperature and consuming large amounts of power.
さらに、センサとヒータを同時に一体焼結するものであ
るため、一度の焼結で済むため、生産性が良いように考
えられるが、実際の生産において良品が得られる率、す
なわち歩留りが悪いという不都合があった。Furthermore, since the sensor and heater are sintered simultaneously, productivity is thought to be good because only one sintering process is required, but in actual production, the rate of obtaining good products, that is, the yield rate, is low. was there.
上記事情に鑑み、固体電解質に白金電極を付設して成る

。In view of the above circumstances, a sensor consisting of a solid electrolyte with a platinum electrode attached to it and a heater with a built-in heating resistor made of tungsten paste in an alumina ceramic body were separately fabricated, and each had the specified characteristics. In addition, an oxygen sensor is constructed by bonding and integrating only good products with glass.
