Definitions
- the invention is based on a sensor element according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- Such a sensor element is known for example from DE 198 34276 AI.
- the planar, elongated sensor element contains an electrochemical cell with a first and a second electrode and a solid electrolyte arranged between the first and the second electrode. Furthermore, the sensor element contains a meandering heater, which is arranged between two insulation layers.
- the heater and the layers adjacent to the heater are exposed to high mechanical stresses which result from temperature fluctuations and temperature gradients occurring within the layers.
- the insulation layers are porous and therefore have sufficient elasticity.
- the heater is connected to an electrical circuit arranged outside the sensor element by two heater feed lines.
- the sensor element is heated to a predetermined temperature by applying a predetermined heating voltage to the heater in a clocked manner.
- the heating voltage is regulated by determining the temperature-dependent internal resistance of the electrochemical cell.
- the insulation layers consist, for example, of aluminum oxide and contain production-related impurities such as sodium.
- Polarization of the heater insulation results in capacitive coupling of the heater into the electrochemical cell during pulsed operation of the heater (sudden switching on or off of the heater voltage).
- a polarization in the area of the heater insulation also occurs with one
- Leakage current test in which a high voltage is applied between the heater and an electrode of the electrochemical cell.
- the sensor element according to the invention with the characterizing features of the independent claim has the advantage that migration of ions due to the voltage applied to the heater is avoided.
- At least one separating element is provided between adjacent sections of the meandering heater, which has a lower proportion of pores than the porous heater insulation.
- the mobility of the ions in a heater insulation with a low pore content is significantly less than within the porous heater insulation.
- the separating elements thus severely restrict ion migration within the heater insulation.
- the heater is embedded in the porous heater insulation and thus completely surrounded by the heater insulation, so that cracks in the heater insulation are avoided with large temperature gradients.
- the migration of ions is avoided particularly reliably if the pore fraction of the separating elements is in the range from 2 to 6 percent by volume.
- a sufficient elasticity of the heater insulation surrounding the heater is given with heater insulation with a pore content of 10 to 20 percent by volume.
- the heater is often used to heat an electrochemical cell.
- the electrochemical cell is integrated in the layer structure of the sensor element and has a first and a second electrode and a solid electrolyte arranged between the first and the second electrode. If the heater is arranged at a distance from the electrochemical cell, couplings of the heater into the electrochemical cell are significantly less than, for example, in a construction in which the heater is arranged in a layer plane between the two electrodes of the electrochemical cell.
- the separating element and the heater insulation consist essentially of the same
- Material for example made of aluminum oxide, ensures a good connection between the separating element and the heater insulation.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section corresponding to section line I - 1 in FIG. 2 through the exemplary embodiment of the sensor element according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a section corresponding to section line II - II in FIG. 1 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the exemplary embodiment of the sensor element according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 and 2 show, as an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a sensor element 10 with a first solid electrolyte foil 21, a second solid electrolyte foil 22, a third solid electrolyte foil 23 and a fourth solid electrolyte foil 24.
- a reference gas space 35 in which a reference gas is contained, is introduced into the third solid electrolyte film 23.
- the reference gas space 35 is connected to the ambient air, for example, via a channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the sensor element 10 and a connection-side opening.
- a first electrode 31 is arranged on the fourth solid electrolyte film 24 in the reference gas space 35.
- a second electrode 32 is provided opposite the first electrode 31 on the outer surface of the fourth solid electrolyte film 24.
- the first and second electrodes 31, 32 and the fourth solid electrolyte film 24 in the area of the two electrodes 31, 32 form an electrochemical cell.
- a meandering heater 41 is arranged between the first and second solid electrolyte films 21, 22.
- the heater 41 is connected by two heater leads 42 to a circuit (not shown) arranged outside the sensor element 10, by means of which a voltage (heating voltage) can be applied between the two heater leads 42.
- the heater 41 and the heater feed lines 42 are completely surrounded by a porous heater insulation 43.
- the pore fraction of the heater insulation 43 is 15 percent by volume.
- the heater insulation 43 is completely laterally surrounded in the layer plane of the heater 41 by a sealing frame 45 which seals the heater insulation 43 against the gas surrounding the sensor element 10.
- the meandering heater 41 has four sections which are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sensor element 10. The four sections are shorter by three
- Separating elements 44 are provided between the adjacent sections of the heater 41 and have a pore fraction of 4 percent by volume. Separating elements 44 are also provided between the heater feed lines 42 and between the heater feed line 42 and a section of the heater 41 adjacent to the heater feed line 42.
- the separating elements 44 are each spaced apart from the heater 41, so that the separating elements 44 and the heater 41 are separated by the porous heater insulation 43.
- the separating elements 44 are arranged in such a way that ion migration between different sections of the heater 1 is prevented.
- the separating elements 44 were arranged, in particular, in areas in which there is a high voltage difference between two sections of the heater 41 when the heating voltage is applied, since a strong ion migration can occur in these areas in particular. Furthermore, the ion migration is favored by high temperatures. It is therefore particularly important to provide the separating elements 44 in the hot areas of the sensor element 10, that is to say in particular in the area of the heater 41.
- the heater 41 and the heater feed lines 42 consist of platinum and a ceramic support frame.
- the porous heater insulation 43 and the separating elements 44 consist essentially of aluminum oxide.
- the heater is arranged in a so-called broadband lambda probe, which contains an electrochemical pump cell and an electrochemical Nernst cell.
- the structure and mode of operation of such a broadband lambda probe is known to the person skilled in the art and is described, for example, in DE 198 53 601 AI or in "Automotive electronics handbook", 2nd edition 1999,
- the invention is not limited to the shape of the heater shown in the exemplary embodiment and can be transferred to any other designs of the heater.
- the invention can also be applied to all layered sensor elements with a heater.
