Aus der DE-OS 35 33 123 ist beispielsweise eine Zündkerze mit Gleitfunkenstrecke bekannt, bei der der Isolatorkδrper quergeteilt ist und ein anschlußseitiges Oberteil aus einem Werkstoff mit relativ niedriger Dielektrizitäts¬ konstante und ein brennraumseitiges Unterteil aus einem Werkstoff mit einer sehr viel höheren Dielektrizitätskonstanten aufweist. Derartige Zündkerzen sind zwar in der Funktion einwandfrei, sind aber in der Herstellung verhältnismäßig kompliziert durch den geteilten Isolierkörper.The invention relates to a spark plug with sliding spark gap according to the preamble of the main claim. From DE-OS 35 33 123, for example, a spark plug with a sliding spark gap is known, in which the isolator body is cross-divided and has a connection-side upper part made of a material with a relatively low dielectric constant and a lower part on the combustion chamber side made of a material with a much higher dielectric constant.

Zeichnungdrawing
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindug ist in der Zeichnung darge¬ stellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel in einer schematischen, ge¬ schnittenen Darstellung.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. The figure shows an exemplary embodiment in a schematic, sectioned illustration.
Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment
Die Zündkerze nach der Figur besteht aus einem Zündkerzenkörper 1 aus Aluminiumoxid, mit einer Bohrung 2 im brennraumseitigen Teil, in welcher sich ein T-fδrmiges Bauteil befindet, das beispielsweise aus Aluminiumoxid besteht und verschiedene Oberflächenbeschichtungen trägt. Mit 4 ist die Gegenelektrode angedeutet. Das Bauteil 3 trägt innerhalb des Zündkerzenkörpers 1 und innerhalb der Bohrung 2 sowie auch noch ein wenig darüber hinausragend eine Beschichtung 5, die elektrisch leitfähig ist und entweder aus Platin oder aus einem Platin/Al O -Gemisch mit 60 bis 85 Gew.-% Platin besteht und eine Dicke von 5 bis 15 ,um aufweist. Aus dem gleichen Material besteht die Beschichtung 6 auf dem Bauteil 3 in Nachbarschaft der Gegenelektrode 4, zu welcher diese Schicht 6 den elektrischen Kontakt herstellt. Die Kontaktierung der elektrisch leitfähigen Beschichtung 5 innerhalb des Zündkerzenkδrpers 1 erfolgt durch ein elektrisch leitfähiges Glas 7 in Form eines Glasschmelzflusses, wie er beispielsweise aus der US-PS 3 909 459 bekannt ist.
Die Gleitfunkenschicht 8 zwischen den Beschichtungen 5 und 6 besteht aus einem Platin/AI 0 -Gemisch mit 10 bis 40 Gew.-? Platin, das nach dem Sintern die Eigenschaft hat, keine Eigenleitfähigkeit auf¬ zuweisen, da sich einzelne Leitfähigkeitsinseln bilden, die zwar keinen elektrischen Kontakt miteinander haben, jedoch hohe Ver¬ schiebungsströme ermöglichen, was einer hohen Dielektrizitäts¬ konstanten entspricht. Diese Beschichtung 8 wird ebenfalls in einer Dicke von 5 bis 15 ,um aufgebracht.The spark plug according to the figure consists of a spark plug body 1 made of aluminum oxide, with a bore 2 in the part on the combustion chamber side, in which there is a T-shaped component which, for example, consists of aluminum oxide and has various surface coatings. With 4 the counter electrode is indicated. The component 3 has a coating 5 inside the spark plug body 1 and inside the bore 2, and also protruding a little further, which is electrically conductive and consists either of platinum or of a platinum / Al O mixture with 60 to 85% by weight platinum and has a thickness of 5 to 15 µm. The coating 6 on the component 3 in the vicinity of the counter electrode 4, to which this layer 6 makes the electrical contact, is made of the same material. The electrically conductive coating 5 is contacted within the spark plug body 1 by means of an electrically conductive glass 7 in the form of a glass melt flow, as is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 3,909,459. The sliding spark layer 8 between the coatings 5 and 6 consists of a platinum / Al 0 mixture with 10 to 40 wt. Platinum, which has the property after sintering, has no intrinsic conductivity, since individual conductivity islands are formed which, although they have no electrical contact with one another, nevertheless allow high displacement currents, which corresponds to a high dielectric constant. This coating 8 is also applied in a thickness of 5 to 15 μm.
Zur Herstellung dieser Zündkerze wird zunächst das T-förmige Bauteil 3 aus Aluminiumoxid hergestellt und bei 1100 bis 1150" °C 'verglüht, aber noch nicht gesintert. Auf dieses Bauteil 3 werden dann durch Tauchen oder Aufdrucken die elektrisch leitfähigen Beschichtungen 5 und 6 und daran anschließend durch Aufdrucken oder Aufpinseln die Gleitfunkenschicht 8 aufgebracht. Danach wird das Bauteil 3 mit den Beschichtungen 5, 6 und 8 in die im Durchmesser gerade passende Bohrung 2 des Zündkerzenkδrpers 1, der ebenfalls nur verglüht ist, von innen eingebracht. Das Ganze wird dann bei Temperaturen zwischen 1500 und 1600 °C in der üblichen Weise gesintert, wobei zwischen Bauteil 3 und Zündkerzenkörper 1 ein fester Sitz entsteht und die Gleitfunkenschicht 8 die obenbeschriebenen Eigenschaften erhält. In den Hohlraum des Zündkerzenkörpers 1 wird dann das -elektrisch leit¬ fähige Glas 7 in Form eines Glasschmelzflusses eingefüllt und der in der Figur nicht dargestellte obere Teil der Mittelelektrode mit dem Anschluß eingebracht, worauf das Ganze bei einer für die jeweilige Glassorte geeigneten Einschmelztemperatur, die im Bereich zwischen 800 und 900 °C liegen kann, eingeschmolzen wird. Nach dem Abkühlen wird das Ganze in das nicht dargestellte Zündkerzengehäuse mit der daran angeformten Masseelektrode 4 derart gasdicht eingebördelt, daß die elektrisch leitfähige Beschichtung 6 und die Gegenelektrode 4 sich berühren.
Praktische Versuche haben ergeben, daß derartige Zündkerzen sehr gute Standzeiten haben und die Gleitfunkenschichten hochwirksam und langzeitstabil sind.

The component 3 with the coatings 5, 6 and 8 is then introduced from the inside into the bore 2 of the spark plug body 1, which has a diameter of just equal and which is also also only annealed Temperatures between 1500 and 1600 ° C. are sintered in the usual way, whereby a firm fit is created between component 3 and spark plug body 1 and the sliding spark layer 8 obtains the properties described above. The electrically conductive glass 7 in is then inserted into the cavity of the spark plug body 1 Formed a glass melt flow and the upper Te not shown in the figure The central electrode is introduced with the connection, whereupon the whole is melted at a melting temperature suitable for the respective glass type, which can be in the range between 800 and 900 ° C. After cooling, the whole is flared in a gas-tight manner in the spark plug housing, not shown, with the ground electrode 4 formed thereon, in such a way that the electrically conductive coating 6 and the counter electrode 4 touch. Practical tests have shown that such spark plugs have a very long service life and the sliding spark layers are highly effective and long-term stable.
