  • Patent number: 10844767
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for removing a carbon from an oxygen sensor. The device may include an oxygen sensor installed in a gas exhaust line of a vehicle to measure an oxygen content in an exhaust gas, a valve for transferring a high-pressure air flow to the oxygen sensor, a valve actuator for driving the valve, and a controller for controlling the valve actuator to open the valve when an abnormality occurs in the oxygen sensor. When the abnormality has occurred in the oxygen sensor, the valve for transferring the high-pressure air flow is opened, and a temperature of zirconia provided in the oxygen sensor is raised to remove a carbon deposited on the oxygen sensor.

  • Patent number: 10766475
    Abstract: A device for preventing dilution of engine oil includes an oil pan in which oil for lubrication of the engine is recovered with fuel. An exhaust purifier is provided on a rear end of the engine and purifying exhaust gas. A gas passage can guide flow of exhaust gas passing through the exhaust purifier to the oil pan. A gas valve can control flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing in the gas passage. A controller controls an opening ratio of the gas valve depending on a temperature of oil inside the oil pan to maintain the temperature of the oil equal to or higher than a temperature at which the fuel in the oil pan is vaporized.
