Insulating material 116 is used to separate them, the protrusion width a of the pump electrode 111 is about 2/3 to 3/4 of the protrusion width b of the measuring electrode 112, and insulating material is applied between the protrusion of the pump electrode 111 and the protrusion of the measuring electrode 112 The width c of the pump electrode 111 is 1/2 to 9/10 of the convex width a of the pump electrode 111 . The lead wires 115 of the pump electrode 111 and the measurement electrode 112 are connected to an external control device through the second electrode pin 152 .
氧传感器还包括测温电极114,测温电极114用于测量加热装置140加热后的实时温度,测温电极114的引线从第四氧化锆层124下表面穿出,通过第一电极引脚151与控制装置连接。当加热装置140当前温度达到目标温度后,控制装置控制加热装置140的加热与散热达到平衡,使氧传感器稳定在目标温度。The oxygen sensor also includes a temperature measuring electrode 114, which is used to measure the real-time temperature after heating by the heating device 140, and the lead wire of the temperature measuring electrode 114 protrudes from the lower surface of the fourth zirconia layer 124 and passes through the first electrode pin 151. Connect to the control unit. When the current temperature of the heating device 140 reaches the target temperature, the control device controls the heating and heat dissipation of the heating device 140 to reach a balance, so that the oxygen sensor is stabilized at the target temperature.
外部控制装置通过在泵电极111和公共电极113之间施加对应的电流方向,将泵电极111侧氧气转换为氧离子,氧离子通过第一氧化锆层121后在公共电极113侧由氧离子变成氧气进入空腔131中,氧气进入空腔131后改变空腔131内氧的分压。空腔131内设有由多孔材料制备而成的缓冲块132(气体能够穿过缓冲块132),缓冲块132一方面能够防止多层结构在热压时对应区域发生塌陷,一方面还能使氧气进入空腔131中时较为平缓,从而最终测得的数据更为平滑;缓冲块132可以采用多孔材料制备而成,也可以缓冲块132采用有机物制备而成,在层压时,缓冲块132起到支撑作用,防止多层结构在热压时对应区域发生塌陷,在层压后,对结构进行热处理,此时空腔131中的有机物被分解成气体跑出,从而在第二氧化锆层122中得到空腔。第一氧化锆层121根据空腔131内氧的分压大小产生对应的能斯特电压,即第一氧化锆层121基于其两侧的氧气浓度差产生能斯特电压,测量电极112和公共电极113测量该能斯特电压。当能斯特电压达到目标电压后,控制装置改变泵电极111和公共电极113之间电流的方向,从而将公共电极113侧氧气转换为氧离子,泵出空腔131。The external control device converts oxygen on the pump electrode 111 side into oxygen ions by applying a corresponding current direction between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113, and the oxygen ions pass through the first zirconia layer 121 and then change from oxygen ions on the common electrode 113 side. Oxygen enters the cavity 131 , and the oxygen enters the cavity 131 to change the partial pressure of oxygen in the cavity 131 . The cavity 131 is provided with a buffer block 132 made of porous material (gas can pass through the buffer block 132 ). The oxygen entering the cavity 131 is relatively gentle, so the final measured data is smoother; the buffer block 132 can be made of porous materials, or the buffer block 132 can be made of organic matter. During lamination, the buffer block 132 It plays a supporting role to prevent the corresponding area of the multi-layer structure from collapsing during hot pressing. After lamination, the structure is heat-treated. At this time, the organic matter in the cavity 131 is decomposed into gas and escapes, so that the second zirconia layer 122 cavity is obtained. The first zirconia layer 121 generates a corresponding Nernst voltage according to the partial pressure of oxygen in the cavity 131, that is, the first zirconia layer 121 generates a Nernst voltage based on the difference in oxygen concentration on both sides of the first zirconia layer 121, and the measuring electrode 112 and the common Electrode 113 measures the Nernst voltage. When the Nernst voltage reaches the target voltage, the control device changes the direction of the current between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113 , thereby converting the oxygen gas on the side of the common electrode 113 into oxygen ions and pumping out the cavity 131 .
本发明氧传感器的工作过程为:加热装置140开始加热,在加热过程中测温 电极114对其进行实时测温,并将测得的当前温度反馈给控制装置,当加热装置140当前温度达到目标温度后,控制装置控制加热装置140的加热与散热达到平衡,使氧传感器稳定在目标温度;达到目标温度后,氧传感器开始测氧工作。控制装置对泵电极111和公共电极113之间施加由公共电极113流向泵电极111的电流,促使泵电极111侧氧气转换为氧离子,转换而成的氧离子通过第一氧化锆层121后在公共电极113侧由氧离子变成氧气进入第二氧化锆层122的空腔131中,在氧气进入空腔131的过程中,由于空腔131内设置有缓冲块132,使得氧气较为缓慢的进入空腔131内,氧气进入空腔131后改变空腔131内氧的分压;第一氧化锆层121根据氧的分压大小产生对应的能斯特电压,测量电极112和公共电极113实时测量该能斯特电压的大小,并在能斯特电压达到目标电压后改变泵电极111和公共电极113之间的电流方向,即对泵电极111和公共电极113之间施加由泵电极111流向公共电极113的电流,促使公共电极113侧氧气转换为氧离子,氧离子通过第一氧化锆层121后从空腔131中释放到外界(其在泵电极111侧由氧离子变成氧气)。控制装置中的计时器计时从泵电极111和公共电极113开始将氧气转换为氧离子到泵电极111和公共电极113之间电流方向改变的时间,即氧传感器一个泵氧循环的时间(一个泵氧循环的时间为泵电极111和公共电极113开始将氧气转换为氧离子到泵电极111和公共电极113之间电流方向改变之间的时间),根据氧传感器一个泵氧循环的时间可以计算得到氧的分压。一个泵氧循环的时间越长,则氧的分压越大,控制装置根据泵氧循环的时间自动计算出氧的分压(通过建立标准曲线,不同的泵氧循环时间对应不同的氧气浓度)。The working process of the oxygen sensor of the present invention is as follows: the heating device 140 starts heating, and the temperature measuring electrode 114 measures its temperature in real time during the heating process, and feeds back the measured current temperature to the control device. When the current temperature of the heating device 140 reaches the target After the temperature is reached, the control device controls the heating and heat dissipation of the heating device 140 to reach a balance, so that the oxygen sensor is stabilized at the target temperature; after reaching the target temperature, the oxygen sensor starts to measure oxygen. The control device applies the current flowing from the common electrode 113 to the pump electrode 111 between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113, so that the oxygen on the side of the pump electrode 111 is converted into oxygen ions, and the converted oxygen ions pass through the first zirconia layer 121. The side of the common electrode 113 changes from oxygen ions to oxygen into the cavity 131 of the second zirconia layer 122. During the process of oxygen entering the cavity 131, the buffer block 132 is arranged in the cavity 131, so that the oxygen enters relatively slowly In the cavity 131, oxygen enters the cavity 131 to change the partial pressure of oxygen in the cavity 131; the first zirconia layer 121 generates a corresponding Nernst voltage according to the partial pressure of oxygen, and the measuring electrode 112 and the common electrode 113 measure in real time The magnitude of the Nernst voltage, and after the Nernst voltage reaches the target voltage, the current direction between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113 is changed, that is, the flow between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113 is applied from the pump electrode 111 to the common electrode 113. The current of the electrode 113 promotes the conversion of oxygen on the side of the common electrode 113 to oxygen ions, and the oxygen ions pass through the first zirconia layer 121 and are released from the cavity 131 to the outside world (the oxygen ions on the pump electrode 111 side become oxygen). The timer in the control device counts the time from when the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113 start converting oxygen into oxygen ions to the time when the direction of the current between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113 changes, that is, the time for one pump oxygen cycle of the oxygen sensor (one pump The oxygen cycle time is the time between when the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113 start to convert oxygen into oxygen ions and the current direction changes between the pump electrode 111 and the common electrode 113), which can be calculated according to the time of one pump oxygen cycle of the oxygen sensor. partial pressure of oxygen. The longer the time of a pump oxygen cycle, the greater the oxygen partial pressure, the control device automatically calculates the oxygen partial pressure according to the pump oxygen cycle time (by establishing a standard curve, different pump oxygen cycle times correspond to different oxygen concentrations) .
如图3~4所示,泵电极111与测量电极112有不同的排布方式,对于不同的排布方式,在相同测试条件下,对浓度范围为0.5%-30%的氧气浓度(已知浓度)的测量精度如表1所示:As shown in Figures 3-4, the pump electrode 111 and the measurement electrode 112 have different arrangements.
