摘要： A probe is described for determining an oxygen concentration in a gas mixture, in particular in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines, having a Nernst measuring cell, which has a first electrode (Nernst electrode) which is exposed to the gas mixture to be measured via a diffusion barrier, a second electrode (reference electrode) which is exposed to a reference gas, and a solid electrolyte body arranged between the first and the second electrode, and having a pump cell, which has a first electrode (inner pump electrode) which is exposed to the gas mixture via the diffusion barrier, a second electrode (outer pump electrode) which is exposed to the gas mixture, and a solid electrolyte body arranged between the first and the second electrode. The Nernst electrode and the inner pump electrode are connected at least in some sections via a joint supply conductor to a circuit arrangement for controlling and evaluating the probe. A joint supply conductor resistor of the Nernst electrode and of the inner pump electrode is formed by a loaded voltage divider whose individual resistors are arranged so that the negative feedback of a Nernst voltage circuit and of a pump voltage circuit is optimized, in particular maximized.

摘要： In a method and a control device for operating a broadband lambda sensor, the oxygen concentration of an exhaust gas is determined based on a comparison of a Nernst voltage with a reference voltage having a nominal value; a pump current is injected into a cavity of a pump cell if a deviation is present, an electric voltage present at the pump cell being regulated in such a manner that lambda=1 prevails in the cavity, the pump current being a measure for the value of lambda in the exhaust gas; and, in order to avoid control interference in the start phase of the engine or in the cold phase of the sensor, the Nernst voltage is maintained close to the reference voltage, using a pilot control, until the Nernst voltage is an actual measure for the oxygen concentration in the cavity of the pump cell.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for the voltage-controlled performance regulation of the heating of an exhaust-gas probe in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. The aim of the invention is to provide a method in which the operating temperature of the probe is achieved in the shortest possible time without damage to the probe. To achieve this, the heating voltage during the heating phase of the probe is rapidly brought up to a high temperature in a start phase in relation to a subsequent phase, or a dramatic leap in temperature is achieved, preferably up to the full operating voltage and the heating voltage is then continuously or quasi-continuously reduced.
