Definitions
- the invention is based on a connecting means for ignition systems of internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1.
- This protective cap which is usually made of a special rubber mixture, is particularly at risk in today's internal combustion engines. Contributing to this in particular as a stressful circumstance is that with today's engines a
- the connecting means according to the invention for ignition systems of internal combustion engines with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that the aforementioned shortcomings are avoided.
- the connecting means is designed in such a way that a protective cap is constructed at least in two layers with an inner jacket made of electrical insulating material and with an outer jacket made of electrically conductive material lying directly on the inner jacket, which is electrically connected to ground potential.
- the direct contact of the outer jacket on the inner jacket avoids air pockets.
- the inner jacket is electrically placed directly on ground potential despite the spatial spacing via the plug shaft to the cylinder head.
- the outer jacket is flexible on the
- Inner jacket applied so that the connecting means can be expanded in the area of the connections for contacting without changing its electrical properties.
- a connecting means 11 for ignition systems of internal combustion engines 12, as shown in FIG. 1, has the following main features: a first connection 13 for an ignition coil 14, a second connection 16 for a spark plug 17, and an only schematically drawn one, the two connections 13, 16 connecting electrical conductor 18, and a protective cap 19, which at least partially surrounds the connections 13, 16 and the conductor 18.
- the connecting means 11 is positioned in a shaft 21, also referred to as a candle niche, in a cylinder head
- the spark plug 14 is recessed and mounted in a known manner.
- the protective cap 19 has, as is shown in FIG. 2, an inner jacket 23 facing the connections 13 and the conductor 18 and an outer jacket 24 which, in the radial direction, directly to the inner jacket without gaps
- the inner jacket 23 consists of an electrical insulating material, preferably an elastomer based on silicone. An elastic plastic in the manner of a thermoplastic elastomer would also be possible.
- the inner jacket 23 is applied in a single injection molding process to the connections 13, 16 provided as inserts in an injection mold and connected to the conductor 18 with a layer thickness of approximately 3 mm.
- the inner jacket 23 projects beyond the connections 13, 16 in the form of a sleeve at their end openings.
- mating plugs of the ignition coil 14 and the spark plug 17, which are connected to the connections 13, 16, are partially enclosed and sealed.
- the outer casing 24 is applied without gaps.
- the outer sheath 24, like the inner sheath 23, is flexible so that when the connecting means 11 is plugged into the mating connector of the ignition coil 14 and the spark plug 17 it is resiliently expandable and the bond with the inner sheath 23 remains unchanged.
- the outer jacket 24 is electrically conductive. It has, in its longitudinal course adjacent to the first connection 13, three axially spaced, parallel to each other sealing rings 27, the cross-sectional areas of which taper towards the free ends to such an extent that the free ends are capable of being bent.
- the sealing rings 27 are dimensioned in their radial extent so that they come into contact with a slight excess on the inside 28 of the shaft 21 when the connecting means 11 is inserted into the shaft 21, and on the one hand a shaft seal 29 and on the other hand electrical
- the outer jacket 24 preferably consists of an electrically conductive, silicone-based elastomer sprayed directly onto the outside 26 of the inner jacket 23, so that a seamless, integral connection between the jackets 23, 24 is formed.
- the outer sheath 24 could also be formed by a screen braid made of electrically conductive metal that fits tightly on the outside 26 and can spring back. It is also possible to form the outer jacket 24 from a shrink tube, a thin-walled plastic tube or the like.
- the outer casing 24 it is important for the function of the outer casing 24 that it consists of an electrically conductive material and that its mechanical properties, like that of the inner casing 23, can spring back and spring back. This creates the prerequisites that the intimate, spacing-free association between the sheaths 23, 24 is retained even when the connecting means 11 are plugged in.
- the outer side 26 of the inner jacket 23 is the outer end layer of the electrical insulator
- Connection means 11 electrically connected directly to the ground potential of the cylinder head 22 of the internal combustion engine 12, so that no intermediate insulating layers such as air gaps occur on this electrical path.
