    摘要: An oxygen sensor is disposed behind an exhaust gas purifying catalyst for an internal combustion engine and which suppresses the influence of unburnt hydrocarbon on the output voltage. A sensor element 1 is provided with a detection electrode 4 on the outer face of a zirconia ceramic body 2, a reference electrode 3 on the inner face of the ceramic body 2 and a spinel protective layer 5 on the outer surface of the detection electrode 4. The tip end of the sensor element 1 is covered with a protective cover 10 which is provided with an outer partition wall 11 having through holes 11a and an inner partition wall 12 having through holes 12a. In a case where the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the protective cover 10 is ΔP(atm) when the atmospheric air with a volume flow rate Q(l/min) is passed into the protective cover 10 from the outside, the ratio ΔP/Q 2 is 3.2×10 -5 (atm·min 2 ·1 -2 ). When the surface temperature of the sensor element 1 is changed in a range of sensor active temperature, the reversing time is substantially constant. Therefore, the catalyst deterioration can be detected by the oxygen sensor with high accuracy.

    摘要: There is disclosed an oxygen sensor disposed before an exhaust gas purifying catalyst of an engine which uses a hydrocarbon containing fuel with a H/C ratio of three or more. An oxygen sensor 1 is provided with a solid electrolytic body 2 which can generate a difference in oxygen concentration with reference gas and measured gas, a reference electrode 3 and a detection electrode 4 formed on inner and outer surfaces of the solid electrolytic body 2, and a porous protective layer 5 for covering the detection electrode 4. The detection electrode 4 is formed only of a metal like Pt which promotes oxidizing reaction of methane to have a thickness of 1 to 2 µm. In the protective layer 5, only a second protective layer 5b carries Pt catalyst 6 which promotes oxidizing reaction of hydrogen, and the amount of carried catalyst is in the range of 0.5 to 7 mol% relative to the whole of the second protective layer 5b. According to the oxygen sensor 1, even if a large amount of hydrogen is exhausted, for example, from CNG engine, or even if a large amount of methane is exhausted, an excellent engine control can be realized.

    摘要: There is disclosed a gas sensor having a multiple protector structure and providing uniform response or output characteristic irrespective of the direction of the gas stream relative to the protector. This protector has a first cylindrical portion (6b), and a second cylindrical portion (6a) having a sidewall. The front end of the second cylindrical portion protrudes beyond the front end ofthe first cylindrical portion. Second side gas inlets are formed in the sidewall to introduce gas under measurement. The first cylindrical portion (6b) has a tapering portion (62) having a base end and a front end. The introduced gas flows along the outer surface of the tapering portion of the first cylindrical portion from the base end toward the front end and flows out from a second side gas outlet (64). A first side gas outlet (62) is formed at the front end of the tapering portion. The stream of the gas flowing in this way produces a negative pressure in the first side gas outlet, evacuating the inside of the first cylindrical portion. As a result, the gas is drawn into the first cylindrical portion almost isotropically from the circumferentially spaced first side gas inlets. The gas is supplied to a detection portion inside the protector almost isotropically irrespective of the angle at which the gas stream strikes the surface of the detection portion. Accordingly, uniform response or output characteristic is obtained regardless of the direction of the gas stream.
