    摘要: An apparatus for sensing air-fuel ratio of the present invention is capable of measuring an air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel combustion mixture by sensing a partial pressure of oxygen in the exhaust gas. This apparatus forms a gas regulation chamber by arranging oxygen ion conductive solid electrolytes opposite to each other through a gap. In the gas regulation chamber, diffusion of exhaust gas is regulated. Porous electrodes are formed on both sides of the solid electrolytes. One sensor element formed by one of the solid electrolytes is operated as an oxygen concentration cell element, while the other sensor element formed by the other solid electrolyte is operated as an oxygen pump element. Moreover, the sensor elements are heated in order to activate such elements by heaters provided separately. A constant current is supplied to the oxygen concentration cell element in such a direction as pumping the oxygen into the gas regulation chamber. Supply of a constant current to the oxygen concentration cell element allows existence of a fixed output voltage from the oxygen concentration cell element even when the heater voltage changes. Accordingly, an air-fuel ration can be sensed accurately, independent of change in heater voltage which has been considered as a cause of problem, by controlling a supply current to the oxygen pump element so that an output voltage of the oxygen concentration cell element becomes the fixed voltage and then sensing the air-fuel ratio from such current value.

    摘要: The invention relates to a gas sensor using a known gas sensitive element which provides an electrical output signal. For example, the sensitive element has a zirconia solid electrolyte sensitive to oxygen. The gas sensitive element is mounted on a ceramic substrate, and the substrate is partly inserted in a tubular housing, and a hermetic and electrically insulating seal column is formed in the housing to tightly hold the substrate. Lead wires protruding from the substrate are connected to external leads within the housing, and the joints are buried in the seal column. According to the invention, the seal column is formed of a glass-ceramic origitated from a glass which is composed of ZnO, B.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2 and MgO and has a crystallizing temperature of 740.degree.-900.degree. C. The glass-ceramic has a linear expansion coefficient smaller than that of the housing by 3.times.10.sup.-6 /.degree.C. at the most. Preferably alumina ceramic is used as the housing material. The glass-ceramic seal column is high in heat resistance and remains sufficiently airtight and electrically insulating even when its temperature exceeds 500.degree. C.
