[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning joint includes an outer fixed sleeve and an inner movable sleeve. The inner movable sleeve is arranged inside the outer fixed sleeve and the two are connected by a bearing. One end of the inner movable sleeve is a hexagonal hole, and the other end is connected to the zirconium tube protective cover.

[0008] Furthermore, a hexagonal concave hole is provided on the end surface of the zirconium tube protection cover, and a hexagonal convex column corresponding to the hexagonal concave hole is provided on the end surface of the side where the inner movable sleeve is connected to the zirconium tube protection cover.

[0009] Furthermore, a second cleaning brush head is provided on the inner wall of the outer fixing sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, base bosses are provided on both sides of the first cleaning brush head in the width direction, and the bottom of the first cleaning brush head is fixed between the two base bosses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0023] A nitrogen oxygen sensor that is easy to clean includes a nitrogen oxygen sensor body and a cleaning joint. The nitrogen oxygen sensor includes a zirconium tube and a shell. The front end of the shell is a zirconium tube protective cover. The zirconium tube protective cover is rotatably connected to the front end of the shell. The zirconium tube protective cover is provided with a plurality of air holes. The zirconium tube is arranged in the zirconium tube protective cover. A first cleaning brush head is provided at the inner wall of the zirconium tube protective cover. When cleaning, the cleaning joint is sleeved on the surface of the zirconium tube protective cover, and the cleaning joint can drive the zirconium tube protective cover to rotate. The cleaning joint includes an outer fixed sleeve and an inner movable sleeve. The inner movable sleeve is sleeved in the outer fixed sleeve. The two are connected by a bearing. One end of the inner movable sleeve is an inner hexagonal hole, and the other end is connected to the zirconium tube protective cover. A hexagonal concave hole is provided on the end face of the zirconium tube protective cover. A hexagonal convex column corresponding to the hexagonal concave hole is provided on the end face of the inner movable sleeve on the side where the inner movable sleeve is connected to the zirconium tube protective cover. A second cleaning brush head is provided at the inner wall of the outer fixed sleeve. Base bosses are provided on both sides of the first cleaning brush head in the width direction, and the bottom of the first cleaning brush head is fixed between the two base bosses. The second cleaning brush head is a brush. The first cleaning brush head is made of rubber, and its contact surface with the zirconium tube has a toothed structure.

[0024] The actual usage process is as follows:

[0025] First, remove the nitrogen oxygen sensor body from the pipeline, and use a special cleaning liquid to spray the zirconium tube protective cover with high pressure. Then, immerse the zirconium tube protective cover in a special cleaning liquid (this step can be omitted as needed, and this step has a better cleaning effect). Then, plug the cleaning connector into the zirconium tube protective cover so that the hexagonal protrusions on the cleaning connector match the hexagonal recesses on the zirconium tube protective cover. Then, use a special tool to rotate the inner movable sleeve, which will drive the zirconium tube protective cover to rotate. At this time, the outer wall of the zirconium tube protective cover is cleaned by the second cleaning brush head on the outer fixed sleeve, and the surface of the zirconium tube is cleaned by the first cleaning brush head on the inner wall of the zirconium tube protective cover. During the cleaning process, the zirconium tube protective cover can be intermittently placed in a special cleaning liquid to clean and discharge the contaminants.

[0026] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
