Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an oxygen sensor chip, in particular to an oxygen sensor chip with a built-in reaction cavity. Background Art

[0002] The chip-type oxygen sensor is a relatively new type of oxygen sensor. It has the advantages of short response time, small size, low manufacturing cost, and reliable performance. It is an important component for the automotive industry to achieve energy conservation (improve fuel economy) and emission reduction (reduce harmful gas emissions from automobile exhaust). The oxygen sensor chip is the core of the chip-type oxygen sensor and also the component that plays a major role. The oxygen sensor can measure the oxygen content in the engine exhaust and determine whether the gasoline and air are completely burned. The electronic controller implements closed-loop control with the excess air coefficient λ=1 as the target based on the feedback information of the oxygen sensor to ensure that the three-way catalytic converter can completely burn HC, CO and NO in the exhaust. x All three pollutants have maximum conversion efficiency.

[0003] As domestic oxygen sensor technology continues to mature, more and more companies are attempting to manufacture limiting current oxygen sensors with built-in cavities. A popular manufacturing method involves printing a carbon-based slurry, which forms a cavity after sintering. However, this method has the disadvantage that the reverse pump current requires a cavity volume of approximately 30% of the overall volume, making it difficult to meet this requirement with printing. Oxygen sensor chips must have a sufficiently large cavity volume to meet the reverse pump current requirements of limiting current oxygen sensors. Furthermore, the cavity in limiting current chip oxygen sensors supplies oxygen to the reverse electrode, increasing the oxygen flow rate in the cavity and, consequently, the reverse current value, making it easier to identify and process oxygen content. However, the cavities in mainstream oxygen sensors are mostly open on one side or connected to the intake duct on one side. This has the disadvantage of limiting the oxygen flow rate, which affects the reverse current value. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the problems in the prior art that the cavity volume of the oxygen sensor chip cannot meet the reverse pump current requirements of the limiting current type oxygen sensor and how to ensure the oxygen flow rate in the cavity. An oxygen sensor chip with a built-in reaction cavity is provided. The oxygen sensor chip provided by the utility model has a reaction cavity layer in which the reaction cavity volume can reach a maximum of 60%, which is fully capable of meeting the requirements of the limiting current type oxygen sensor for the reverse pump current on the built-in cavity volume. In addition, annular airflow channels are connected at both ends of the reaction cavity to ensure the circulation of oxygen in the reaction cavity, thereby improving the oxygen flow rate.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides an oxygen sensor chip with an internal reaction cavity. The oxygen sensor chip is composed of multiple layers of green ceramic chips pressed together; several layers of green ceramic chips in the oxygen sensor chip are reaction cavity layers, and reaction cavities are provided in the reaction cavity layers; an annular air flow channel communicating with both ends of the reaction cavity is provided on the outer surface of the reaction cavity layer; several layers of green ceramic chips above the reaction cavity layer are heater layers, and several layers of green ceramic chips below are electrode layers; heating electrodes are provided on the heater layers; and test electrodes are provided on the electrode layers. After the gas to be detected enters the reaction cavity layer, it undergoes a heating reaction through the heater layer above the reaction cavity layer. The oxygen content in the heated gas to be detected changes. The difference in oxygen content between the heated gas in the reaction cavity layer and the unheated gas outside the oxygen sensor chip is converted into a difference in electrical signal and output through the electrode layer, enabling the detection of data inside and outside the chip to obtain the oxygen content of the gas. For example, in automotive exhaust gas detection, the exhaust gas is heated by the heater layer in the oxygen sensor to burn out the excess oxygen, and the oxygen content is compared with that of the unburned exhaust gas outside the oxygen sensor to further determine whether the gasoline and air are completely burned. The reaction cavity layer is in close contact with the heater layer and the electrode layer, enabling rapid heating of the gas reaction and detection of the oxygen content, achieving an oxygen sensor chip with high integration, simple structure, and high sensitivity.

[0006] Preferably, the depth of the annular air flow channel is 0.01 - 0.05 mm.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the above preference are as follows: Both sides of the reaction cavity are connected to the outside through the annular air flow channel, enabling gas exchange with the outside and maintaining the air pressure balance inside and outside the chip, ensuring that the oxygen flow rate in the reaction cavity can increase the reverse current value. At the same time, the depth of the annular air flow channel is only 0.01 mm - 0.05 mm, with a relatively narrow gap, ensuring a limited exchange volume while exchanging gas with the outside, not affecting the oxygen content of the heated gas in the reaction cavity, and ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0008] Preferably, the width of the annular air flow channel is 0.5 - 2.7 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the reaction cavity in the reaction cavity layer is located in the middle of the reaction cavity layer.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the reaction cavity is 24 - 30 mm, the width is 2.1 - 2.7 mm, and the thickness is 0.3 - 0.6 mm.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the oxygen sensor chip is 1.0 - 2.0 mm, the length is 40 - 50 mm, and the width is 3.5 - 4.5 mm.

[0012] The above preferred beneficial effects are as follows: The oxygen sensor is small in volume, can be widely applied to various scenarios, and has a small product volume with low heating power consumption, which is convenient for processing and has high processing efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the volume of the reaction cavity accounts for 40% - 60% of the oxygen sensor chip.

[0014] The above preferred beneficial effects are as follows: The maximum volume of the reaction cavity can reach 60% to meet the requirements of the reverse pumping current of the limiting current type oxygen sensor, and the detection efficiency of the oxygen sensor chip can be higher.

[0015] Preferably, the reaction cavity layer has 3 - 6 green ceramic sheets.

[0016] More preferably, in the present utility model, the reaction cavity layer is made by stacking 4 green ceramic sheets.

[0017] Preferably, the heater layer has 1 - 5 green ceramic sheets; the electrode layer has 2 - 5 green ceramic sheets.

[0018] More preferably, in the present utility model, the heater layer is made by stacking 4 green ceramic sheets, and the electrode layer is made by stacking 4 green ceramic sheets.

[0019] Preferably, the heater layer and the electrode layer are provided with through holes.

[0020] The above preferred beneficial effects are as follows: Each layer of green ceramic sheet is in contact with the gas, increasing the contact reaction area and improving the accuracy of the detection result.

[0021] Therefore, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects: (1) The built-in reaction cavity of the oxygen sensor chip proposed by the present utility model can be up to 60% of the product volume at most, which can fully meet the requirements of the reverse pumping current of the limiting current type oxygen sensor for the volume of the built-in reaction cavity. (2) The annular air flow channels on both sides of the built-in reaction cavity of the oxygen sensor chip proposed by the present utility model can improve the oxygen flow rate and thus increase the reverse current value while ensuring the air pressure balance inside and outside the oxygen sensor chip, making it easier to identify and detect the oxygen content.

[0024] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] As Figure 1An oxygen sensor chip with a built-in reaction cavity is shown. The oxygen sensor chip is composed of multiple green ceramic chips pressed together. Several layers of green ceramic chips in the oxygen sensor chip are the reaction cavity layer 2, and a reaction cavity is provided in the reaction cavity layer 2. An annular air flow channel 4 communicating with both ends of the reaction cavity is provided on the outer surface of the reaction cavity layer. Several layers of green ceramic chips above the reaction cavity layer are the heater layer 1, and several layers of green ceramic chips below are the electrode layer 3. A heating electrode is provided on the heater layer 1, and a test electrode is provided on the electrode layer 3. The oxygen sensor chip is square, with a thickness of 1.0 - 2.0 mm, a single-side length of 40 - 50 mm, and a width of 3.5 - 4.5 mm. From top to bottom are the heater layer 1, the reaction cavity layer 2, and the electrode layer 3 in sequence. The green ceramic chips of the heater layer 1 and the electrode layer 3 are punched, and the green ceramic chips of the reaction cavity layer 2 are cavity-punched. The obtained reaction cavity has a length of 24 - 30 mm and a thickness of 0.3 - 0.6 mm. It can be achieved that the volume of the reaction cavity accounts for 40% - 60% of the oxygen sensor chip. After the gas to be detected enters the reaction cavity layer 2, it undergoes a heating reaction through the heater layer 1 above the reaction cavity layer 2. The oxygen content in the heated gas to be detected changes. The electrode layer 3 is used to convert the oxygen content between the heated gas in the reaction cavity and the unheated gas outside the oxygen sensor chip into a voltage to reflect the voltage difference inside and outside the chip, thereby obtaining the oxygen content of the gas to determine whether gasoline and air are completely burned. The reaction cavity layer is in close contact with the heater layer and the electrode layer, which can quickly carry out the heating gas reaction and detect the oxygen content, achieving an oxygen sensor chip with high integration, simple structure, and high sensitivity. Through the expansion of the reaction cavity volume by the present utility model, the reaction cavity with a maximum volume accounting for 60% of the total volume can be achieved, which can play a larger reaction cavity in practical applications to meet the role of the reverse pump current of the limiting current type oxygen sensor in practical applications.

[0026] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the depth of the annular air flow channel is 0.01 - 0.05 mm. Both sides of the reaction cavity are connected to the outside through the gaps formed by the annular air flow channel, which can achieve gas exchange with the outside and maintain the air pressure balance inside and outside the chip, ensuring that the oxygen flow rate in the reaction cavity can increase the reverse current value and making it easier to detect the oxygen content. At the same time, the depth of the annular air flow channel is only 0.01 mm - 0.05 mm, and the generated gap is relatively narrow. While exchanging gas with the outside, it ensures that the exchange amount is limited, does not affect the oxygen content of the heated gas in the reaction cavity, and guarantees the accuracy of the test results.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the width of the annular air flow channel is 0.5 - 2.7 mm. In specific applications, the present utility model selects a width equal to that of the reaction cavity. Under the condition of ensuring high gas flow efficiency, it reduces the influence on the detection results. If the width of the annular air flow channel is greater than that of the reaction cavity, there is a probability that the unheated gas will directly enter the electrode layer and affect the detection data.

[0028] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the thickness of the oxygen sensor chip is 1.0 - 2.0 mm, the length is 40 - 50 mm, and the width is 3.5 - 4.5 mm. The oxygen sensor is small in volume, can be widely applied to various scenarios, and has low heating power consumption due to its small size, which is convenient for processing and has high processing efficiency.

[0029] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the reaction cavity in the reaction cavity layer is located in the middle of the reaction cavity layer.

[0030] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the length of the reaction cavity is 24 - 30 mm, the width is 2.1 - 2.7 mm, and the thickness is 0.3 - 0.6 mm.

[0031] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the volume of the reaction cavity accounts for 40% - 60% of the oxygen sensor chip. The maximum cavity volume can reach 60% to meet the requirements of the reverse pump current of the limiting current type oxygen sensor, and the detection efficiency of the oxygen sensor chip can be made higher.

[0032] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the reaction cavity layer is composed of 3 - 6 green ceramic sheets. In the present utility model, the reaction cavity layer is made by stacking 4 green ceramic sheets.

[0033] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the heater layer is composed of 1 - 5 green ceramic sheets; the electrode layer is composed of 2 - 5 green ceramic sheets. In the present utility model, the heater layer is made by stacking 4 green ceramic sheets, and the electrode layer is made by stacking 4 green ceramic sheets.

[0034] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the heater layer 1 and the electrode layer 3 are provided with through holes 5. Each layer of green ceramic sheet is in contact with gas, increasing the contact reaction area and improving the accuracy of the detection result.
