A kind of ethanol-gasoline flexibly engine fuel spark plug
Technical field
Patent of the present invention relates to the automotive engine ignition system technical field, particularly a kind of for ethanol-gasoline flexibly ratio engine spark plug.
Background technology
Spark plug is widely used in the engine of automobile, the function of spark plug is that the high voltage pulse electric energy that ignition coil is passed over is discharged, the interelectrode air of disruptive spark plug two, produce electric spark, with the mist in this ignition engine cylinder, promote the piston acting and make engine running.The lateral electrode of spark plug is generally bar material, utilizes professional welding equipment to be welded on the spark-plug body port, and bending metal side electrode forms ignition gap to the central electrode upright position with central electrode.
Chinese Patent Application No. is 200580007335 to disclose a kind of spark plug configuration with metal noble tip, and as shown in Figure 1, the front end of spark plug body 5 (both bottoms in figure) gos deep into cylinder, is the ignition operation position.Between central electrode 2 and lateral electrode 3, it is spark gap.Central electrode 2 outsides are insulator 4, and insulator 4 outsides are metal shell 1.Generally, it is L shaped that lateral electrode 3 is that 2 bar materials bend to, and is welded on a side of the front port of metal shell 1.As seen from Figure 1, insulator 4 has part exposed in metal shell 1 outside in the axial direction.
Although the performance such as high temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant that use to metal noble tip can improve spark plug is disclosed, because between two electrodes of this technical scheme, heat-energy losses is larger, can not be for the igniting requirement of alcohol-gasoline fuel.
The clean energy resource industrial expansion, used the alcohol fuel of biomaterial production more prevalent at present; Adopt the automobile of alcohol fuel to there is good discharge performance, dynamic property and economy because of it, be familiar with and paid attention to by people just gradually.Because the ethanol fuel engine ignition temperature is high than petrol engine, the alcohol fuel spark plug requires higher to heat dispersion.The heat that the heat-flash that during spark plug work, the firing tip lateral electrode produces and engine combustion produce must be derived rapidly life-span and the work quality of guarantee spark plug.From the research to ethanol fuel engine, existing spark plug metal electrode heat-conducting effect is general, and easily in the situation that the phenomenon of ethanol burning ablation, and the reason of ablation is the poor heat conduction of electrode own.
Simultaneously, due to ethanol---the gasoline flexibly engine fuel has been used alcohol fuel, and the energy lost during the igniting of its engine is higher, to the time of ignition pilot spark to require usefulness to require higher.So the structure of spark plug need to be improved, to meet ethanol---the ignition energy that gasoline flexibly engine fuel time of ignition is higher guarantees the reliability requirement under high load capacity simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of patent of the present invention is; by the improvement to the prior art scheme, provide a kind of heat conduction faster and better, can effectively protect central electrode; be not prone to the spark plug of spark-plug side electrode ablation phenomen, and when plug ignition the little spark plug of energy loss.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:
Ethanol---gasoline flexibly engine fuel spark plug comprises: metal shell, central electrode, lateral electrode, insulator, spark plug body and noble metal electrode;

The described noble metal electrode be arranged on lateral electrode is arranged at the top of the horizontal component of lateral electrode, the outer surface of this noble metal electrode approaches and overlaps with the end line of lateral electrode horizontal component, its effect is to improve the lateral electrode heat-conducting effect, and reduces heat-energy losses when igniting.
The front end face of described metal shell be D1 to noble metal electrode outer face distance on central electrode, and between two noble metal electrode opposing end surfaces, apart from being D2, the horizontal component thickness of lateral electrode is D3, and, D1 > D3, D2<D3, D3+D2 > D1.
The front end face of described metal shell is concordant with the front end face of described insulator.
The front end face of described metal shell is between 1.5mm-3.5mm to noble metal electrode outer face distance B 1 on central electrode.
Between two noble metal electrode opposing end surfaces, distance B 2 is between 0.6mm-0.9mm.
The horizontal component thickness D3 of lateral electrode is between 1.0mm-1.5mm.
The beneficial effect of the technical program is:
1, the size of less noble metal electrode, the particularly use of lateral electrode one side noble metal electrode, the noble metal electrode of lateral electrode side and central electrode side is measure-alike.The size that reduces noble metal electrode can effectively reduce the antiinflammation of engine igniting time, and the energy while avoiding lighting a fire is by the excessive absorption of noble metal electrode.
2, the thickness of spark-plug side electrode is little than central electrode length, and the length of lateral electrode changes can reduce the consumption of engine igniting time to ignition energy equally, guarantees ethanol---gasoline flexibly engine fuel igniting smooth ignition.
3, the ignition gap of this spark plug is little than lateral electrode thickness than lateral electrode length, can under the prerequisite that does not promote the engine ignition energy, increase the energy of plug ignition.Central electrode length is less than ignition gap and lateral electrode thickness sum.The overall dimensions conventional engines spark plug of lateral electrode is little, has guaranteed the heat transfer property of spark-plug side electrode under the large loading condiction of engine.
