Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular relates to a heating electrode of a nitrogen oxide sensor, the nitrogen oxide sensor and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, the design of the heating electrode head of the nitrogen oxide sensor is currently wavy. However, such a design will bring the following problems: the wavy heating electrode head is printed according to the printing direction, and some lines need to be printed perpendicular to the printing direction. These lines may appear blurred during printing, which causes the width of the line segment to increase, thereby causing the resistance to decrease. The small resistance will result in the required temperature not being reached, and the activity of other platinum electrodes will be reduced. The chip cannot enter the control or the control cannot reach a stable state. Moreover, when printing the wavy heating electrode head, the distance between each waveform is close, which can easily cause adhesion between the line segments, resulting in abnormal local resistance, and the chip cannot enter the control or the control cannot reach a stable state. In addition, printing the wavy heating electrode head is also prone to local printing missing, which generally appears at the arc of the corner, causing the resistance in this area to increase abnormally. After heating, the chip is damaged due to the local high temperature.

[0003] Since printing defects of the wavy heating electrode heads occur frequently, process parameters are often repeatedly verified during the production process to ensure printing quality, resulting in a lot of waste in the production process and greatly increasing production costs.

In the heating electrode of the nitrogen oxide sensor, the first part, the second part, the third part, and the fourth part all extend along the printing direction of the heating electrode.
