The extrahigh energy spark plug
Technical field
The present invention relates to the used spark plug technology of a kind of ignition system of internal combustion engine.
Background technology
The spark plug that present ignition system of internal combustion engine is used, form by housing, central electrode and lateral electrode, its middle shell and lateral electrode are made one by welding, are insulator between housing and central electrode, and the lower end of central electrode and lateral electrode is electrode discharge end separately.During work,, make the gas between central electrode and the lateral electrode discharge end breakdown, produce sparkover central electrode input pulse high-voltage signal (voltage reaches more than 10000 volts).The shortcoming of this kind firing technique is that the sparkover energy can only reach in 100 milli Jiao.The reason of restriction spark plug discharge energy is: puncture two gases between the electrode discharge end, the relation of being inversely proportional between the output current of the high-tension electricities of needs more than 10,000 volts, and the employed element that boosts of generation high electric field pulse---high-tension coil and the output voltage.Therefore can't accomplish high voltage and big electric current simultaneously, discharge power is restricted like this.Because discharge energy is limited, the Weak mixture of this spark plug in can not the ignition engine cylinder is not suitable for the engine application at lean burn.But the combustion process that the engine of lean burn can be realized efficiently, clean is the developing direction of following internal combustion engine.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to provide a kind of extrahigh energy spark plug, make spark plug can utilize the high-voltage breakdown spark plug gap, can realize heavy-current discharge again, thereby the energy of discharge pulse is risen significantly.
Know-why of the present invention is: a discharge process of present spark plug high-voltage breakdown electrode gap is decomposed into: the high-voltage breakdown electrode gap also produces plasma, and then these two processes of high-energy discharge of igniting.Since the high-energy discharge process need not be very high voltage (1000V-3000V), need not adopt simultaneously the pulsed electronic component (for example high-tension coil that uses at present) that boosts, therefore can realize the purpose of big electric current high-energy discharge.To achieve these goals, proposed following design: the extrahigh energy spark plug is made up of housing 1, lateral electrode 2, insulator 3, and insulator 3 is positioned at housing 1 inside, and the lower end of lateral electrode 2 is lateral electrode discharge ends 4.Characteristic point is: a high-field electrode 5 and a high energy electrode 6 are arranged in housing 1 inside, separate by insulator 3 between high-field electrode 5, high energy electrode 6 and shell 1 three, upper end at insulator 3, one extension 7 is arranged, its length is greater than 10mm, and the lower end of high-field electrode 5 is high-field electrode discharge ends 8, and the lower end of high energy electrode 6 is high energy electrode discharge ends 9, distance between high-field electrode discharge end 8 and the lateral electrode discharge end 4 is less than the distance between high-field electrode discharge end 8 and the high energy electrode discharge end 9.Purpose is after high electric field pulse of high-field electrode input 10 inputs, at first between high-field electrode discharge end 8 and lateral electrode discharge end 4, produce sparkover, plasma that is produced and then the high-energy discharge process between high energy electrode discharge end 9 and the lateral electrode discharge end 4 of igniting.
