Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flammglühkerze für eine luftverdichtende Einspritzbrennkraftmaschine nach den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a flame glow plug for an air-compressing internal combustion engine according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Die nach dem Selbstzünderprinzip arbeitenden Einspritzbrennkraftmaschinen benötigen unter bestimmten Bedingungen beim Starten Anlaßhilfen, um die Verdichtungsendtemperaturen auf Werte oberhalb der Selbstzündungstemperatur anzuheben.Under certain conditions, the injection internal combustion engines operating on the compression-ignition principle require starting aids in order to raise the compression end temperatures to values above the compression-ignition temperature.

Als Anlaßhilfe beim Startvorgang sind im Einsatz befindliche Flammglühkerzen (Fig.8) bekannt, die im wesentlichen aus dem Kerzengehäuse mit Flammrohr, aus dem Dosiereinsatz, dem Heizstab und dem diesen umgebenden Verdampferrohr bestehen. Der über den Dosiereinsatz zugeführte Kraftstoff gelangt in einen Ringzwischenraum zwischen Heizstab und Verdampferrohr und strömt von dort aus in das Flammrohr, wo es sich mit der einströmenden Luft vermischt.Flame glow plugs in use (Fig. 8) are known as starting aids during the starting process, which essentially consist of the candle housing with flame tube, the dosing insert, the heating element and the evaporator tube surrounding it. The fuel supplied via the metering insert enters an annular space between the heating element and the evaporator tube and flows from there into the flame tube, where it mixes with the inflowing air.

Bei Ausführungen dieser Art hat sich gezeigt, daß der eingebrachte Kraftstoff nicht immer ausreichend oder nur teilweise verdampft und somit die Zündung des Kraftstoffes beeinträchtigt ist.In designs of this type, it has been shown that the fuel introduced does not always evaporate sufficiently or only partially and thus the ignition of the fuel is impaired.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, durch einfache bauliche Veränderungen an der eingangs beschriebenen Flammglühkerze den Kraftstoff so aufzubereiten, daß er optimal verdampft und mit der in das Flammrohr eindringenden Luft ein zündfähiges Gemisch bildet.The invention has for its object by simple structural changes to the one described Flame glow plug to prepare the fuel so that it evaporates optimally and forms an ignitable mixture with the air entering the flame tube.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale.The features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1 serve to solve this problem.

Durch die besondere Kraftstoffverbindung zwischen Dosiereinsatz und Verdampferrohr ergibt sich eine wesentlich bessere Verdampfung des Kraftstoffes in dem engen schraubenförmig verlaufenden Drallkanal, aus dem der Kraftstoff drallförmig austritt und beschleunigt durch den Ringzwischenraum in das Flammrohr gelangt und sich dort mit der einströmenden Luft zu einem optimalen Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch vermischt.The special fuel connection between the dosing insert and the evaporator tube results in a significantly better evaporation of the fuel in the narrow, helical swirl channel, from which the fuel emerges in a swirling manner and accelerates through the gap between the rings into the flame tube and there with the inflowing air to an optimal fuel Air mixture mixed.

In den Unteransprüchen sind förderliche Weiterbildungen der Erfindung angegeben.Advantageous further developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Flammglühkerze 1 für eine Brennkraftmaschine mit Luftverdichtung und Selbstzündung besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Kerzengehäuse 2 mit einem Dosiereinsatz 3, aus einem Heizstab 4 und einem diesen unter Bildung eines Ringzwischenraumes 5 umgebenden Verdampferrohr 6. Das obenliegende Ende dieses Verdampferrohres 6 ist von dem Dosiereinsatz 3 mit Abstand angeordnet, wobei das Kerzengehäuse 2 in diesem Bereich derart eingezogen ausgebildet ist, daß es mit dem Heizstab 4 abdichtend verbunden ist. Für die Kaftstoffverbindung vom Dosiereinsatz 3 bis zum Ringzwischenraum 5 ist ein schraubenförmiger Drallkanal 7 am Heizstab 4 vorgesehen, durch den der Kraftstoff drallförmig in den Ringzwischenraum 5 gelangt.The flame glow plug 1 shown in FIG. 1 for an internal combustion engine with air compression and auto-ignition essentially consists of a candle housing 2 with a metering insert 3, a heating element 4 and an evaporator tube 6 surrounding it, forming an annular space 5. The upper end of this evaporator tube 6 is arranged at a distance from the dosing insert 3, the candle housing 2 being drawn in in this area such that it is sealingly connected to the heating element 4. A screw-shaped swirl channel 7 is provided on the heating rod 4 for the adhesive connection from the metering insert 3 to the annular space 5, through which the fuel enters the annular space 5 in a swirling manner.

Das freie Ende des Heizstabes 4 ragt aus dem Verdampferrohr 6 heraus und ist durch ein mit dem Kerzengehäuse 2 verbundenes zylindrisch ausgebildetes Flammrohr 8 abgeschirmt, das mit Durchtrittsöffnungen 9 für die Einströmluft versehen ist.The free end of the heating element 4 protrudes from the evaporator tube 6 and is shielded by a cylindrical flame tube 8 connected to the candle housing 2 and provided with through openings 9 for the inflow air.

Damit der Heizstab 4 der eindringenden Luft nicht direkt ausgesetzt ist, ist gemäß Fig. 2 bis 5 zwischen dem Flammrohr 8 und dem Heizstab 4 in Höhe der Durchtrittsöffnungen 9 ein ringförmiger Luftabweiser 10 angeordnet, der durch am Flammrohr 8 unterhalb der Durchtrittsöffnungen 9 befestigte Stege 11 (Fig.2 und 5) gehaltert ist.So that the heating element 4 is not directly exposed to the penetrating air, an annular air deflector 10 is arranged between the flame tube 8 and the heating element 4 at the height of the passage openings 9, as shown in FIGS (Fig. 2 and 5) is supported.

Die einströmende Luft in den Innenraum der Flammglühkerze 1 wird somit nach oben und unten abgelenkt.The air flowing into the interior of the flame glow plug 1 is thus deflected upwards and downwards.

In Fig. 3 und 4 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, bei den das Flammrohr 8 nicht zylindrisch, sondern sternförmig ausgebildet ist. Der Luftabweiser 10 ist mit den Eindrückungen 8a fest verbunden, während die Vorsprünge 8b die Durchtrittsöffnungen 9 aufweisen. Durch die besondere Ausbildung des Flammrohres 8 wird die Luft im Innenraum der Flammglühkerze 1 stark verwirbelt und außerhalb dieser Kerze 1 eine Verbesserung des Kraftstoff-Luftgemisches erreicht.3 and 4, an embodiment is shown in which the flame tube 8 is not cylindrical, but star-shaped. The air deflector 10 is firmly connected to the indentations 8a, while the projections 8b have the passage openings 9. Due to the special design of the flame tube 8, the air in the interior of the flame glow plug 1 is strongly swirled and an improvement in the fuel-air mixture is achieved outside this plug 1.

Nach Fig. 2 ist das freie Ende des Flammrohres 8 nach innen bogenförmig eingezogen, um dort die eingeströmte Luft bzw. das Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch auf den heißen Heizstab 4 umzulenken, wodurch die Gemischbildung weiter verbessert und ein höherer Ausbrand erreicht wird.2, the free end of the flame tube 8 is drawn in in an arc shape in order to redirect the air or the fuel-air mixture to the hot heating element 4, whereby the mixture formation is further improved and a higher burnout is achieved.

Nach Fig. 5 sind oberhalb der Durchtrittsöffnungen 9 Kiemen 12 am Flammrohr 8 vorgesehen, die die einströmende Luft zwischen Flammrohr 8 und Verdampferrohr 6 und schließlich zwischen Luftabweiser 10 und Heizstab 4 lenken, um dort den Innenraum zu belüften. Der Luftabweiser 10 weist zu diesem Zweck gegenüber dem Verdampferrohr 6 einen größeren Durchmesser auf.According to FIG. 5, gills 12 are provided on the flame tube 8 above the passage openings 9 and direct the inflowing air between the flame tube 8 and the evaporator tube 6 and finally between the air deflector 10 and the heating element 4 in order to ventilate the interior there. For this purpose, the air deflector 10 has a larger diameter than the evaporator tube 6.

Die besonderen Ausgestaltungen bezüglich der Lufteintritte und des Luftabweisers führen dazu, daß die Gefahr des Rußens oder der Koksablagerung zwischen Heizstab und Verdampferrohr aufgrund der guten Belüftung beseitigt ist.The special designs with regard to the air inlets and the air deflector mean that the risk of soot or coke deposits between the heating element and the evaporator tube is eliminated due to the good ventilation.

Der aus dem Verdampferrohr 6 herausragende Teil des Heizstabes 4 kann gerillt ausgeführt sein, und zwar in Form von übereinanderliegenden Ringnuten 13 gemäß Fig. 6 oder einer schraubenförmig verlaufenden Ringnut 14 gemäß Fig. 2, 3, 5, wodurch sich eine Oberflächenvergrößerung auf dem Heizstab 4 mit der Folge einer Zündverbesserung ergibt.The part of the heating rod 4 protruding from the evaporator tube 6 can be grooved, specifically in the form of superimposed annular grooves 13 according to FIG. 6 or a helical annular groove 14 according to FIGS. 2, 3, 5, which increases the surface area on the heating rod 4 resulting in an improvement in ignition.

In Fig. 6 und 7 sind Luftabweiser 10 gezeigt, die dem Flammrohr 8 jeweils durch zwei übereinanderliegende in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende Einschlitzungen 10a, 10b, die einen eingedrückten Wandabschnitt 10c begrenzen, gebildet sind. Die Luftabweiser können ein- oder zweireihig angeordnet sein.6 and 7, air deflectors 10 are shown, each of which is formed in the flame tube 8 by two superimposed slots 10a, 10b, which delimit an indented wall section 10c. The air deflectors can be arranged in one or two rows.

In Fig. 8 ist eine bekannte Flammglühkerze gezeigt, bei der das Verdampferrohr 6 bis zum Dosiereinsatz 3 hochgezogen ist. Hier fließt der aus dem Dosiereinsatz kommende Kraftstoff zwischen Heizstab 4 und Verdampferrohr 6 in das Flammrohr 8. Der Kraftstoff hat nur über einen geringen Teil Berührung mit dem heißen Heizstab. Es sammelt sich Ruß an, der mit zunehmender Dicke verkokt und schlimmstenfalls zum Ausfall der Flammglühkerze führt.8 shows a known flame glow plug in which the evaporator tube 6 is pulled up to the metering insert 3. Here, the fuel coming from the metering insert flows between the heating element 4 and the evaporator tube 6 into the flame tube 8. The fuel has only a small part of contact with the hot heating element. Soot accumulates, which cokes with increasing thickness and, in the worst case, leads to failure of the flame glow plug.
