Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ignition coil according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • ignition coils which have a sleeve-shaped secondary connecting part which projects from the housing of the ignition coil and which leads to the high voltage to the spark plug, consisting of a connecting dome and a spark plug connector which is thus captively coupled.
  • the coupling point between the connector dome and the spark plug connector is designed in such a way that the spark plug connector can be pivoted to a small extent with respect to the connector dome which projects rigidly from the housing of the ignition coil. This pivoting serves to compensate for tolerances between the ignition coil, which is attached directly to the cylinder head, and the spark plug, which is fixed in a niche in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
  • the plug niche has a larger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the spark plug or the spark plug connector connected to the ignition coil, it can happen in rare cases that when the ignition coil is installed on the cylinder head, the spark plug connector does not slide onto the spark plug, but in the space between the wall of the candle niche and the spark plug. This incorrect assembly is generally not recognized during the initial operation of the internal combustion engine, since the spark plug is not properly contacted due to the high voltage supply of the ignition coil Arcing receives a reduced but sufficient ignition voltage.
  • EP-A-0 445 557 also discloses an ignition coil with a sleeve-shaped secondary connection part, consisting of a connection dome and a spark plug connector that is captively coupled therewith. Claim 1 is based on this document.
  • connection dome In order to facilitate and make the assembly of the connection dome on the spark plug accommodated in the candle niche safer, the connection dome has centering means on the outside in the form of ring beads. These centering means are inseparable integral parts of the spark plug connector, which can only be used for an installation geometry in a plug niche. With variable installation conditions, the ignition coils must each be equipped with different, individually adapted spark plug connectors, which prevents cost-effective production.
  • the ignition coil according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that the centering means, which is designed as a centering sleeve, is applied as a separate component on the spark plug connector.
  • the single figure shows the ignition coil in partial section with which the spark plug contacts.
  • An ignition coil 11 for ignition systems of internal combustion engines for motor vehicles is fixed in the single figure in a manner not shown on the cylinder head 12 of an internal combustion engine.
  • the ignition coil 11 is largely covered by a cup-shaped housing 13 made of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic.
  • this includes a core made of magnetically conductive material, one leg of which carries a primary winding and a secondary winding.
  • a primary connection part 14 is attached to the housing 13, via which the ignition coil 11 is connected to the voltage source of the motor vehicle.
  • a sleeve-shaped secondary connection portion 17 protrudes perpendicular to a filling side 16 of the housing 13. This forms the high-voltage output of the ignition coil 11 and is contact means to a spark plug 18 which is mounted in a plug niche 20 in the cylinder head 12.
  • the secondary connection part 17 is anchored in the ignition coil 11; this is completely poured out with an electrically insulating potting compound made of epoxy resin, which, when cured, closes the pot-shaped housing 13 on the filling side 16 and firmly encloses the secondary connecting part 17 at the point of its exit from the filling side 16.
  • the secondary connecting part 17 is constructed in two pieces with a connecting dome 19 rigidly fixed in the ignition coil 11 and a spark plug connector 21 coupled to it.
  • the connecting dome 19 consists of a metallic pin 22, which is almost completely covered with an insulator 23 made of thermosetting plastic. Only the end region of the pin 22 pointing away from the ignition coil 11 is uninsulated.
  • the pin 22 here has an axial slot 24 and on the circumference an outer annular groove 26 which has a passage to the blind hole 24 on one side and receives a locking ring 27 which projects through the passage into the blind hole 24 on one side.
  • a suitably shaped metallic counterpart of the spark plug connector 21, which is no longer shown, can be inserted into the blind hole 24, and this latches permanently with the locking ring 27.
  • This electrically conductive coupling point between the connecting dome 19 and the spark plug connector 21 enables the spark plug connector 21 to pivot slightly with respect to the connecting dome 19 rigidly connected to the ignition coil 11.
  • the connecting dome 19 and thus also the end region of the pin 22 is encased in an insulating manner by a plug 28 made of silicone rubber of the spark plug connector 21 when the spark plug connector 21 is coupled to the connecting dome 19.
  • the grommet 28, which surrounds the spark plug connector 21 with all of its generally known and not detailed contact parts for the connection dome 19 and for the spark plug 18, is sleeve-shaped and has a cylindrically stepped outer shape, with a shoulder 29 facing the ignition coil 11, one separates first section 31 from a second section 32 of larger diameter.
  • the first section 31 has an annular bead 33, eccentrically in the longitudinal direction, facing the larger section 32.
  • the annular bead 33 forms a latching means for a centering sleeve 34 which can be pushed over the grommet 28.
  • the centering sleeve 34 has a slightly conical outer shape and closes at the end with a small and on the other hand with a large diameter.
  • the inner shape of the centering sleeve 34 contains two cylindrical regions which are essentially designed as stepped inner cylinders and are connected by a conical inner shoulder 36, a first region 37 which closes at the end face with the large diameter and a second region 38 which is opposite the first region 37 has a larger inner diameter and ends at the end with the small diameter.
  • the centering sleeve 34 with the second area 38 is pushed over the first section 31 of the spout 28.
  • the annular bead 33 of the grommet 28 temporarily reaches the first region 37 of the centering sleeve 34, which is smaller in diameter by a press play than that of the annular bead 33, until the inner shoulder 36 of the centering sleeve 34 comes to lie on the shoulder 29 of the grommet 28 of the annular bead 33 on the end face behind the first region 37 and the centering sleeve 34 springs open interlocked on the spout 28.
  • the centering sleeves 34 thus fixed on the grommet 28 are additionally fixed thereon with a force fit by the first section 31 of the grommet 28 being pushed onto the connecting dome 19 until the coupling between the pin 22 and the spark plug connector 21 has taken place.
  • the spout 28 experiences in its first section 31 a widening in diameter due to the outer dimension of the insulator 29, from which the annular bead 33 is also gripped, so that the centering sleeve 34 can no longer be detached from the spout 28.
  • the ignition coil 11 thus supplemented with the centering sleeve 34 can now be mounted on the cylinder head 12 in such a way that the spark plug connector 21 always slides centrally onto the spark plug 18, since the centering sleeve 34, with its outer shape adapted to the internal geometry of the plug recess 20, taking into account a play of motion, the spark plug connector 21 leads centrally in the candle niche 20.
  • the centering sleeve 34 is provided on its outer jacket with a plurality of longitudinal grooves 39.
  • the centering sleeve 34 can also be used in a multi-spark ignition coil that supplies a plurality of spark plugs 18 with ignition energy become.
  • This multi-spark ignition coil has, in addition to the previously described secondary connection part 17, further secondary connection parts which are generally flexibly connected to the multi-spark ignition coil via ignition cables.
  • the assembly of these secondary connection parts 17 on the spark plugs is particularly susceptible to faults and can also be carried out without errors by inexperienced assembly personnel through the use of centering sleeves 34.
