Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spark plug with an insulator body and a Center electrode, which at least partially stored in a bore in the insulator body is, wherein the center electrode by at least one encompassing sealing ring, which has plastically deformable material by pressing, in relation to the Insulator body is sealed.
  • Spark plugs have different configurations in the prior art Middle and base electrode on.
  • the center electrode is usually in one Drilled in an insulator and protrudes beyond this combustion chamber side.
  • the for the longevity and pressure resistance of the spark plug u.a. also crucial Seal between center electrode and insulator body is usually through Introduction of glass-like or other sealing compounds between the center electrode and Insulator body realized. It is important that the sealant is a gas-tight Makes connection.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a spark plug available in which the desired compressive strength is given.
  • the seal according to the invention initially has the advantage that the production of the Spark plug according to the invention over the prior art significantly simplified becomes.
  • plastically deformable sealing ring but also a very durable and high pressure resistant Sealing between the center electrode and insulator body achieved.
  • further sealing means for sealing the center electrode are dispensed with respect to the insulator body, wherein the sealing ring or the Seals alone for a sufficient and high pressure resistant seal produce.
  • Particularly pressure-resistant are the spark plugs according to the invention, since the Sealing ring by high pressures in the combustion chamber in addition to the Insulator body is pressed and supported on this.
  • the sealing rings to be used for this purpose can fundamentally be made of different types Be made of material.
  • the sealing ring has at least one metal or a Alloy of metals.
  • a particularly durable and high pressure resistant Sealing is achieved when the sealing ring soft iron and / or copper and / or Nickel and / or stainless steel and / or aluminum materials and / or alloys thereof Has materials.
  • a particularly high pressure-tight seal is achieved when the sealing ring in a this partial comprehensive depression of the insulator body rests against this.
  • center electrode carrier can be provided that a mounting ring on the to a combustion chamber of a Internal combustion engine facing end of the center electrode plugged and / or is pressed and / or welded and / or the like, in turn, a Arranged sealing ring between the mounting ring and the insulator body, is preferably clamped. Should not have a center electrode support and no Fixing ring may be provided, so the center electrode can at its in Installation position of the spark plug pointing to the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine Alternatively, an area enlarged outside the insulator body Have diameter, in which case a sealing ring between the area with arranged enlarged diameter and the insulator body or preferably can be trapped.
  • At least one further sealing ring lies within the insulator body.
  • a favorable variant provides that another sealing ring within the insulator body between a Center electrode embracing shoulder of the insulator body and a range enlarged diameter of the center electrode arranged, preferably is trapped.
  • a center electrode carrier and / or at least one Have fastening ring On the in the installed position of the spark plug to the combustion chamber Internal combustion engine facing end of the center electrode plugged and / or pressed and / or welded, wherein the sealing ring between the center electrode carrier and / or the fastening ring on the one hand and the insulator body on the other hand seals, and plastically deformed.
  • the insulator body 1 is from the spark plug housing. 3 includes and is against this by means of the gaskets 11 gas-tight and pressure-resistant sealed.
  • the spark plug housing 3 has a thread 4 for screwing the Spark plug in the cylinder head.
  • a spark plug connector 12 is provided at the rear end of the Center electrode 2.
  • a ground electrode carrier 5 electrically conductive placed on the spark plug housing 3 and a center electrode carrier. 7 electrically connected to the center electrode 2.
  • the connection between the Center electrode 2 and the center electrode carrier 7 takes place as in the prior art Conveniently known by placing the center electrode carrier 7 on the Center electrode 2 and then pressing and welding the two Components. The sparks occur during operation of the spark plug between the Electrodes 8 of the center electrode carrier 7 and the ground electrodes 6, which are electrically connected to the ground electrode carrier 5 are placed.
  • the center electrode 2 against the insulator body. 1 is preferably sealed only by means of the sealing rings 10.
  • Such a Sealing ring 10 is located in the recess 9 of the insulator body 1 and is between the center electrode carrier 7 and the insulator body 1 is clamped.
  • a second Sealing ring is between a shoulder 15 within the lsolator stresses 1 and a Area 14 of the center electrode 2 clamped with increased diameter.
  • Arrangement of the sealing rings 10 according to the invention may be that in the prior art known use of various e.g. glassy sealants for Seal between the center electrode and insulator body 1 preferably completely omitted.
  • Fig. 2 shows a spark plug, in which no separate Center electrode carrier 7 is used. This example is based on the Center electrode 2 attached a fastening ring 13 and / or pressed and / or welded. Between this mounting ring 13 and the insulator body 1 can in turn, the sealing ring 10 are arranged or clamped in the recess 9.
  • a particularly favorable method for producing a spark plug according to FIG. 1 or Fig. 2 provides that first the center electrode 2 with the addition of a seal 10 'in the insulator body 1 is inserted. Finally, on the center electrode 2 her the combustion chamber facing side of the sealing ring 10 of the invention pushed, so that this lie in the recess 9 of the insulator body 1 comes. The next step is now the center electrode carrier 7 with the previously welded electrodes 8 (preferably noble metal electrodes) or the Fixing ring 13 in the direction of the sealing ring 10 by a not further here Pressing device shown pressed. During this Anpressvorganges is the Center electrode 2 supported on the side facing away from the combustion chamber side.
  • the spark plug housing 3 can in this case be constructed of two parts, after insertion of the insulator body in the area 16 be pressed together and welded together. Then it is still in itself known manner, the ground electrode carrier 5 welded to the housing 3, wherein in advance, the ground electrodes 6 (preferably also made of precious metal) on Ground electrode carrier 5 are welded.
  • the use of a Fixing ring 13 instead of or in addition to a central electrode support 7 has the advantage that the mounting ring 13 is less easily damaged during pressing becomes.
  • the Center electrode 2 is first pressed with a mounting ring 13 and only then the comparatively sensitive center electrode carrier 7 in addition to is fixed to the combustion chamber facing end of the center electrode 2.
  • the center electrode 2 against the insulator body. 1 seal under the inventive use of the sealing ring 10, so that the Invention is not limited to the embodiments shown.
