Description
The present invention relates to a gas sensor terminal, and more particularly, to a gas sensor terminal capable of accurately and stably measuring the concentration of a gas in an exhaust gas of an automobile by preventing performance deterioration of a gas sensor used in an automobile or the like.
Generally, a vehicle mounts a gas sensor to operate the engine at an optimum air-fuel ratio. The gas sensor measures the concentration of the gas contained in the exhaust gas and transmits the result to the ECU.
The ECU feeds back the signal of the gas sensor and uses it as a basic signal for ignition timing and fuel injection amount correction.
That is, the gas sensor is installed in an exhaust line of a vehicle, etc., and determines the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas and transmits it to the ECU to correct the amount of air or fuel supplied to the engine. Thereby maintaining the optimum air-fuel ratio.
One of the key components of such a gas sensor is a sensor element. Generally, one side of the sensor element is formed with a contact surface contacting the exhaust gas, and the other side is formed with an electrode surface in contact with the atmospheric gas.
A gas sensor terminal is connected to the electrode surface to transmit the electromotive force generated in the gas element to the ECU according to the air-fuel ratio of the gas passing through the exhaust line of the vehicle.
Such a gas sensor terminal is preferably made of a conductive material such as SUS so that electromotive force can be transmitted to the ECU, and is preferably made elastic like a leaf spring, and the sensor element is made of a ceramic material.
The sensor element may be provided with an electrode surface contacting the gas sensor terminal. The gas sensor terminal may be pressed against the electrode surface of the sensor element by being pressed when the sensor element is grounded.
At this time, if the gas sensor terminal is brought into contact with a portion other than the electrode of the sensor element and the frequency of contact becomes frequent or the contact time becomes long, the sensor element may be disassembled by the ceramic, and stability may be deteriorated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a gas sensor terminal capable of preventing ceramic decomposition caused by contact of a terminal other than an electrode of a sensor element with at least one inclined portion formed at one end of a terminal body.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gas sensor terminal including a terminal body and a pressing portion bent and extended in the other direction from one end of the terminal body, The pressing portion includes a bent portion formed by bending the other end of the terminal body in the other direction, a first pressing portion extending from the bent portion in a direction away from the terminal body, a second pressing portion extending from the first pressing portion to the terminal A second pressing portion extending in a direction approaching the body and a ground portion formed at a position where the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion meet and contacting the electrode surface of the sensor element, And a first inclined portion formed to be inclined in the direction of approaching.
Further, the pressing portion according to the present invention is characterized by pressing the ground portion toward the electrode surface side of the sensor element.
Also, the ground portion according to the present invention may include a linear ground portion formed parallel to the electrode surface and in line contact with the electrode surface, and the first inclined portion may be inclined from the linear ground portion toward the outer surface side of the sensor element .
Further, the ground portion according to the present invention may include a second inclined portion formed to be inclined in a direction approaching the terminal body, and the second inclined portion may be inclined from the linear ground portion in an inner side direction of the sensor element .
Also, the ground unit according to the present invention may include a pointed ground unit for point contact with the electrode surface, and the first inclined unit may be inclined from the linear ground unit toward the outer surface of the sensor element.
The ground portion according to the present invention may include a second inclined portion formed to be inclined in a direction approaching the terminal body and the second inclined portion may be inclined from the pointed ground portion in an inner side direction of the sensor element .
At this time, the first inclined portion according to the present invention may be inclined at an angle of 10 to 50 degrees.
The gas sensor terminal of the present invention can minimize the contact of the terminal to a portion other than the electrode of the sensor element, thereby preventing the sensor element from being disassembled.
In addition, the gas sensor terminal of the present invention minimizes the area where the terminal directly contacts the sensor element, thereby realizing a stable electrical connection structure.
Further, the gas sensor terminal of the present invention has the effect of preventing the deformation of the sensor element and improving the durability of the gas sensor.
