Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sensor with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • thermocouples or sensors for temperature measurement in relevant measuring devices and to carry out corresponding measured value corrections.
  • DE-A-2 942 983 discloses a gas component measuring device with a bridge circuit. Two of the bridge resistors are sensors that must have different response time constants and the same temperature coefficients.
  • the sensor according to the invention is a fast or rapidly responding, temperature-compensated sensor, in particular partial pressure meter for preferably oxygen. It is particularly suitable for use in automotive technology for the qualitative and, in particular, quantitative detection of oxygen in car exhaust.
  • So-called lambda probes are already known, with which car exhaust gases are measured or monitored to determine whether or to what extent the air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine has a predetermined or optimal composition.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a sensor with which the oxygen partial pressure in the exhaust gas can be measured or monitored with response times in the range of milliseconds. This task is particularly aimed at creating such a sensor that can be used advantageously for cylinder-selective engine control. This object is achieved with the invention according to claim 1.
  • the starting point of the invention is that cylinder-selective engine control cannot be implemented with the conventional lambda probes, since these sensors have response times which are too short.
  • the known lambda probes are also too temperature-dependent to meet the task at hand.
  • the exhaust gas temperatures are within a relatively large temperature range for the solution of the task, namely depending on the operating phase and load on the engine.
  • the position of the intended mounting of the probe in the path of the exhaust gas from the engine to the final silencer must also be taken into account.
  • the invention is based on the fact that known lambda probes or oxygen detectors are temperature-dependent.
  • the inventors have found that the respective sensors, in particular sensors, which have essentially thin ceramic metal oxide layers as sensor elements, have different temperature responses.
  • FIG. 3 shows the circuit diagram of a circuit which has compensation for the temperature responses of the two (R, R 2 ) ceramic resistors used for the sensor, known per se or known to be used.
  • R ⁇ and R p denote a first and a second shunt resistor.
  • U Q is the DC supply voltage and U 2 is the measured value signal. It can be shown mathematically that, taking into account the material conditions, the measured-value voltage U 2 in a predeterminable temperature range only depends on the oxygen partial pressure and no longer on the temperature of the sensor, ie the otherwise disruptive temperature response of an oxygen sensor is eliminated .
  • the invention is based on the fact that a resistor with sensor properties for oxygen, i.e. such as The above-mentioned doped metal oxide resistance with regard to its dependencies on the partial pressure and on the temperature can be stated as:
  • shunt resistors are expediently assigned to the same resistor R-, (P, T) (as the figure shows).
  • the measure according to the invention is a, however very good, approximation to the temperature independence and the series shunt resistance extends the temperature range of the temperature dependence to the lower temperatures, whereas the parallel shunt resistance favors the range of the higher temperatures.
  • One or the two shunt resistors R s , R p are assigned to the temperature-dependent resistor R (P, T) which has the higher temperature coefficient K.
  • the shunt resistors R ⁇ and R p are expediently arranged outside the temperature effects caused by the exhaust gases.
  • the respective dimensioning of the resistors R ⁇ and R p naturally depends on the size of the resistors R ⁇ R 2 . According to the applicable mathematical relationship for this bridge circuit with series or parallel shunt resistance, it can be determined with the aid of a computer by iteration. As a rule, however, it is sufficient to find suitable resistance values for the intended series shunt resistor R ⁇ and / or possibly provided parallel shunt resistor R p by simple practical experiment with the knowledge of the invention and its objective.
  • the gradient of the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the Metal oxide resistors R ,, R 2 depends on whether there is donor or acceptor conductivity. Donor conductivity of one resistor R. and acceptor conductivity of the other resistor R. must be provided. Accordingly, the invention can advantageously also be used for those other gases in which there is a similar dependence on the metal oxide, namely the opposite gradient of the dependence of the electrical conductivity of the metal oxide on the partial pressure of the gas in question.
  • FIG. 3 shows a differential circuit in the manner of a complete bridge circuit in which the second bridge branch is missing.
  • the circuit according to Figure 3 can also be used for a complete bridge circuit by e.g. two further resistors can be added.
  • Rapid response or high response speed can be achieved if the oxide resistors are designed as thin-film resistors or sensors.
  • response time constants of less than 5 ms can be achieved, 90% of the asymtotic value being taken as the basis for the sensor measurement quantity achieved. This is the T 90 value.
  • Such a short time constant is sufficient for cylinder-selective measurement in a 6-cylinder engine. Any different time constants of the two resistors are irrelevant as long as the response time constants are below, for example, 5 ms for the application of a 6-cylinder engine or below a corresponding value of another application.
