Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Glühstiftkerze zur Anordnung im Brennraum luftverdichtender Brennkraftmaschinen nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1. Bei bekannten Glühstiftkerzen dieser Art wird der Ringspalt zwischen Glühstift und Kerzengehäuse durch einen Glühstift mit konstantem Durchmesser im Preßsitzbereich und einer dem Brennraum zugewandten zylindrischen Bohrung im Kerzengehäuse realisiert. Diese Bohrung ist durch einen Durchmesser, der größer als der Preßsitzdurchmesser des Glühstiftes ist, gekennzeichnet.The invention relates to a glow plug Arrangement in the combustion chamber of air-compressing internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1. In known Glow plugs of this type become the annular gap between Glow plug and candle case with a glow plug constant diameter in the press fit area and one Combustion chamber facing cylindrical bore in the candle housing realized. This bore is through a diameter that is larger than the interference fit diameter of the glow plug, characterized.

PATENT ABSTRACTS OF JAPAN vol. 016, no. 161 (M-1237) und JP 04 009517 A (NGK SPARK PLUG CO LTD) offenbart ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Glühstiftkerze, bei dem zunächst ein Glühstift in einem Kerzengehäuse angeordnet wird, wobei der Glühstift zunächst eine im Durchmesser verringerte Zone aufweist, so dass eine bequeme Einpassung des Glühstifts in das Kerzengehäuse erreicht wird. Der dadurch entstehende Ringspalt zwischen Glühstift und Kerzengehäuse wird, nachdem der Glühstift im Kerzengehäuse angeordnet wurde, wie in Figur 3, rechtes Bild, dargestellt, durch ein Fügemittel nach einem Lötvorgang ausgefüllt. Somit weist die Glühstiftkerze, die nach der Herstellung im Brennraum eine luftverdichteten Brennkraftmaschine angeordnet wird, keinen Ringspalt auf. PATENT ABSTRACTS OF JAPAN vol. 016, no. 161 (M-1237) and JP 04 009517 A (NGK SPARK PLUG CO LTD) discloses a Process for the manufacture of a glow plug, in which first arranged a glow plug in a candle case is, the glow plug first one in diameter has reduced zone, so that a convenient fit of the glow plug is reached in the candle housing. The resulting annular gap between glow plug and Candle case will appear after the glow plug in the candle case was arranged, as shown in Figure 3, right picture, filled with a joining agent after a soldering process. Consequently has the glow plug, which after manufacture in Combustion chamber an air-compressed internal combustion engine is arranged, no annular gap.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die erfindungsgemäße Glühstiftkerze mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat die Aufgabe, den Glühstift auf der entsprechenden Ringspalttiefe weitgehend thermisch zu entkoppeln und somit die gewünschte Aufheizcharakteristik zu gewährleisten. In Abhängigkeit des sogenannten Vorstehmaßes, d.h. der freien Länge des Glühstiftes von der Unterkante des Kerzengehäuses bis zur Heizkörperspitze, ist für einen Standardstift gleichbleibender Geometrie und Aufheizcharakteristik, die Tiefe des Ringspaltes dem Vorstehmaß anzupassen. Dies hat eine hohe Teilevielfalt der Kerzengehäuse zur Folge, die lediglich durch die Tiefe des Ringspaltes variieren. The glow plug with the invention Features of claim 1 has the task of the glow plug largely thermal at the corresponding annular gap depth to decouple and thus the desired heating characteristics to ensure. Depending on the so-called Measure of precedence, i.e. the free length of the glow plug from the Bottom edge of the candle housing up to the tip of the radiator for a standard pin of constant geometry and Heating characteristics, the depth of the annular gap Adjust the lead measure. This has a large variety of parts The result of the candle housing is only the depth of the Annular gap vary.

Der wesentliche Vorteil besteht darin, daß der Ringspalt, im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, durch einen im Bereich des Preßsitzes entsprechend abgesetzten Glühstift mit aufgeweitetem Durchmesser und einem Kerzengehäuse ohne Durchmesserabstufung realisiert wird. Dadurch kann die Anzahl der Kerzengehäuse, die in ihrer Geometrie lediglich durch die Tiefe des Ringspaltes variieren, auf ein für dieses Merkmal universell einsetzbares Gehäuse reduziert werden. Gleichzeitig kann nach wie vor ein Standardstift gleichbleibender Geometrie verwendet werden, der zur Erzeugung der gewünschten Ringspalttiefe entsprechend tief in das Kerzengehäuse eingepreßt wird.The main advantage is that the annular gap, in Contrary to the prior art, in the field of Press fit correspondingly offset glow plug widened diameter and a candle case without Diameter gradation is realized. This allows the Number of candle housings, their geometry only vary by the depth of the annular gap, on a for this feature reduces universally applicable housing become. At the same time, a standard pen can still be used constant geometry can be used, which for Generation of the desired annular gap depth correspondingly deep is pressed into the candle housing.

Die Realisierung des Ringspaltes durch einen im Bereich des Pressitzes abgesetzten Glühstift bedingt die Vergrößerung des Preßsitzdurchmessers des Glühstiftes gegenüber dem Preßsitzdurchmesser des derzeitigen Standes der Technik. Diese Durchmesseraufweitung führt zu einer Vergrößerung des zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraums für die Dichtung des Glühstiftes. Die Durchmesseraufweitung reduziert in diesem Bereich den erforderlichen Umformgrad des Glührohrs sowie der eingepreßten Dichtung. Dadurch wird die Gefahr der Rißbildung der Dichtung beim formgebenden Hämmerverfahren des Glühstiftes signifikant reduziert.The realization of the annular gap by a in the area of Pressitzes removed glow pin causes the enlargement of the interference fit diameter of the glow plug compared to Press fit diameter of the current state of the art. This widening of the diameter leads to an enlargement of the available space for sealing the Glow plug. The widening of the diameter reduces in this Area the required degree of deformation of the glow tube as well the pressed seal. This will increase the risk of Cracking of the seal during the shaping hammering process of the glow plug significantly reduced.

    Die Glühstiftkerze 10 besteht aus einem langgestreckten, zylindrischen Gehäuse 11 mit einer mittigen Bohrung 12, die zum oberen Ende hin eine konische Erweiterung 13 hat. Etwas unterhalb dieser Erweiterung ist an der Bohrung 12 ein ringförmiger Absatz 15 gebildet, und zwar dadurch, daß der Durchmesser der Bohrung 12 oberhalb dieses Absatzes 15 etwas kleiner ist als der Durchmesser im nachfolgenden Bereich 12 A der Bohrung 12. Im Gehäuse 10 befindet sich der Glühstift 16, der mit seiner Spitze 17 in den Brennraum der Kraftmaschine eintaucht. Die Fügeverbindung zwischen Glühstift und Kerzengehäuse ist bisher als Pressitz 12 A mit konstanten brennraumseitigen Bohrungsdurchmesser ausgeführt. Das Vorstehmaß des Glühstiftes 16 der Glühstiftkerze ist definiert als der Abstand zwischen der Heizkörperspitze und dem Prüfdurchmesser am Dichtkonus des Kerzengehäuses.The glow plug 10 consists of an elongated, cylindrical housing 11 with a central bore 12, the has a conical extension 13 towards the upper end. Something below this extension is at the bore 12 annular paragraph 15 formed, in that the Diameter of the bore 12 somewhat above this paragraph 15 is smaller than the diameter in the following area 12 A of the bore 12. In the housing 10 is the Glow plug 16 with its tip 17 in the combustion chamber Engine immerses. The joint connection between Glow plug and candle housing is so far with 12 A press fit constant bore diameter on the combustion chamber. The projection dimension of the glow plug 16 of the glow plug is defined as the distance between the radiator tip and the test diameter on the sealing cone of the candle housing.
