Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spark plug with sliding spark gap according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a spark plug with sliding spark gap is known, in which the insulator 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.
  • Such spark plugs are in perfect working order, but are relatively complicated to manufacture due to the split insulator.
  • the spark plug according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that it is easy to manufacture by thick-film technology and the sliding spark layers are highly effective and long-term stable.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description.
  • the figure shows an embodiment in a schematic, sectional representation.
  • the spark plug 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 3, which consists, for example, of aluminum oxide and has various surface coatings.
  • the counter electrode is indicated by 4.
  • the component 3 carries a coating 5 inside the spark plug body 1 and within the bore 2, as well as a little further, which is electrically conductive and consists either of platinum or of a platinum / Al 2 O 3 mixture 60 to 85 wt .-% platinum and has a thickness of 5 to 15 microns. This coating forms a central electrode.
  • the coating 6, which forms the counter electrode 4 is made of the same material from the other end of the flange part 3.
  • the counterelectrode is in electrical contact with the counterelectrode exclusion 4.
  • 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 / A] 2 0 3 mixture with 10 to 40 wt .-% platinum, which after sintering has the property of not having any intrinsic conductivity, since individual conductivity islands form have no electrical contact with each other, but allow high displacement currents, which corresponds to a high dielectric constant.
  • This coating 8 is also applied in a thickness of 5 to 15 ⁇ m.
  • the T-shaped component 3 is first made from aluminum oxide and annealed at 1100 to 1150 ° C., but not yet sintered.
  • the electrically conductive coatings 5 and 6 are then applied to this component 3 by dipping or printing and then by printing or brushing the sliding spark layer 8 applied.
  • 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 that is just right, and which is also only burned.
  • the whole is then sintered at temperatures between 1500 and 1600 ° C in the usual manner, with a firm fit being formed between component 3 and spark plug body 1 and the sliding spark layer 8 receiving the properties described above.
  • the electrically conductive glass 7 is then filled in the form of a glass melting foot and the connection of the center electrode, not shown in the figure, is introduced, whereupon the whole thing at a melting temperature suitable for the respective type of glass, which is in the range between 800 and 900 ° C may lie, is melted down. After cooling, the whole is crimped in a gas-tight manner into the spark plug housing (not shown) with the degenerate electrodes formed on it so that the counterelectrode 6 and the counterelectrode terminal 4 touch.
