Definitions
- the invention relates to a pin heater, in particular in a glow plug for diesel engines, according to the kind defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- Glow plugs with metallic and ceramic heaters are known in practice today. Common designs of the ceramic glow plugs have internal metallic or ceramic heaters that are sintered into a high-temperature stable, non-conductive ceramic. incandescent Pen candles of such a type can, however , only be produced by complex heating press processes. In contrast, glow plugs with external heaters can be made from composite ceramics using simple and inexpensive sintering processes.
- a glow plug for diesel engines with a cylindrical metal tube, with a connection device for electrical contacting and with a ceramic heating device is known for example from WO 96/27104.
- Glow plug holds the cylindrical metal tube at its tip cantilevered, the ceramic heater is contacted with the connector, so that a current flows through the ceramic heater during the annealing process.
- the ceramic heating device has at least one point of reduced cross-section, the cross-section of the ceramic heating device being reduced at the point where the fuel-air mixture impinges.
- the cross-sectional reduction in this ceramic heating device is realized in such a way that the wall thickness of the side wall is reduced accordingly at the point in question.
- WO 00/35830 describes a further conventional solution for creating a rapidly heating pin heater, which in turn is achieved by reducing the cross section of the pin heater in the area of the hot zone.
- a pin heater is designed with a filigree tip for reducing the cross section.
- pin heaters known from the prior art have the disadvantage that they have a hot zone, which is extremely filigree due to the formation of a tip or an other reduction in cross-section in the area of the tip of the
- Pen heater must be built up to be able to be quickly heated to a high temperature.
- the proposed pin heater in a glow plug for diesel engines with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that a significantly higher mechanical stability can be achieved by changing the shape of the tip geometry of the pin heater, since the tip of the pin heater is not reduced in its overall cross-section.
- the heater tip formed with a larger cross section advantageously offers a larger thermal mass. This then counteracts blowing out of the glow plug under certain operating conditions, in particular during a cold start.
- the pin heater is essentially rotationally symmetrical. This has proven to be advantageous, since such a design of the pin heater enables the candle to glow in its central tip area, as is required for modern, direct-injection diesel engines.
- the insulation layer is essentially covered by the conductive layer.
- the insulation layer from the conductive layer is essentially sandwich-like is surrounded, that is to say that when the cross section is viewed, there is a sequence of the conductive layer, a central insulation layer and again a conductive layer, the insulation layer being at least approximately in a central region of the cross section of the pin heater.
- the insulation layer with its edge region, that is to say, the region bordering the conductive layer, at least partially up to the circumference of the Pen heater extends.
- the insulation layer can be placed in a tool for spraying on the conductive layer, for example perpendicular to the tool parting plane.
- the sheath heater has a diameter in the loading range of approximately 2 mm has mm to fifth
- the arrangement of the conductive layer and the insulation layer is advantageously optimized for a respective manufacturing process for the pencil candle.
- Preferred manufacturing processes are injection molding and / or injection molding.
- the optimization is preferably carried out using analytical methods, in particular using a finite element method. With such an optimization, it is possible for a geometry of the pin heater to be calculated which, for example, can be achieved by a two-stage injection molding process Post-processing and subsequent sintering can be produced very easily and inexpensively.
- the ceramic composite structure of the conductive and insulation layer particularly preferably has trisilicon tetranitride and a metal silicide as constituents.
- the ceramic composite structure for the conductive layer made of 60% by weight MoSi 2 and 40% by weight Si 3 N 4 and sintering additives and particularly for the insulation layer made of 40% by weight MoSi 2 and 60% by weight Si is particularly preferred 4 N 4 and sintering additives.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a pin heater with two associated cross sections along the lines A-A and B-B according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a conductive layer of a tip area of a pin heater optimized by finite element calculation according to a second preferred embodiment
- Figure 3 shows the insulation layer belonging to the conductive layer shown in Figure 2
- FIG. 4 shows a three-dimensional representation of a pin heater according to FIGS. 2 and 3;
- Figure 5 is a rear view of the pin heater according to the embodiment shown in Figures 2 to 4;
- a pin heater 1 in a longitudinally sectioned view, with a conductive layer 2 lying essentially on the outside and an insulation layer 3 lying essentially on the inside, the insulation layer 3 being sandwiched by the conductive layer 2.
- Both layers 2, 3 comprise a ceramic composite structure.
- this pin heater 1 has a uniform overall cross section over its entire length, the insulation layer 3 in the area of a tip 4 of the pin heater 1 being enlarged in cross section, while the proportion of the outer conductive layer 2 with respect to the total cross section reduced accordingly.
- the pin heater according to the preferred embodiment is symmetrical.
- symmetry can be a symmetry about a symmetry lying in the cross-sectional plane.
- axis can be understood or a symmetry about an axis of rotation along the axis of the pen heater in a crystallographic sense.
- a suitable choice of the geometry of the conductive layer 2 and the insulation layer 3 shown in FIG. 1 enables a reduction in the cross section of the conductive layer 2 in the tip region 4, the entire pin heater 1 having a substantially uniform cross section over its entire length. This enables the pin heater 1 to glow quickly in the tip area 4, as is required for modern direct-injection diesel engines, and still has good mechanical stability.
- a pin heater 1 is shown, the shape of which, in particular the shape of the conductive layer 2 to the insulation layer 3, using analytical means Process was optimized, the optimization being carried out with respect to the manufacturing process of the pin heater 1, in particular an injection molding process.
- Such a pin heater 1 can be implemented in a simple injection molding process, the insulation layer 3 being first pre-injected in a preformed tool and the ceramic conductive layer 2 being injected around the insulation layer 3 in a second step.
- the optimization of the geometry was optimized according to the second embodiment shown for composite ceramics such as Si 3 N 4 and MoSi 2 .
- the conductive layer 2 consists at least approximately of 60% by weight MoSi 2 , 40% by weight Si 3 N 4 and sintering additives, and the insulation layer 3 consists of 40% by weight MoSi 2 , 60% by weight Si 3 N 4 and sintering additives.
- FIGS. 6 a) to c) show a pin heater 1 which is further optimized with regard to its production method in a cross-sectional view (FIG. 6 a), in a longitudinal section (FIG. 6 b) and. shown in a top view ( Figure 6c).
- transitions between insulation layer 3 and conductive layer 2 were rounded or rounded, which in turn has proven to be advantageous with respect to injection molding, since after the conductive layer 2 has been sprayed on, there are no peaks in thermal stresses at sharp corners and edges.
- Spraying process optimized shape of the pin heater 1 can be seen more precisely by an example size.
- the diameter dl of the pin heater is 3.3 mm
- the width bl of the insulation layer 3 between the shoulders is 1.9 mm to 2 mm
- the angle ⁇ of the insulation layer shoulder is preferably 120 °.
- the pin heater 1 shown in FIG. 6 is also essentially a sandwich-type pin heater 1, in which the insulation layer 3 is essentially arranged between the conductive layer 2, the insulation layer 3 at least partially running out to the edge of the pin heater 1 ,
- the process of injection molding a pin heater will be briefly explained below as an example.
- the insulation layer 3 is injection molded.
- the gate is the thickest
- a layer thickness of at least 0.8 mm can currently be injection molded in a metallic tool. If a thermal barrier coating, such as A1 2 0 3 , Zr0 2 or the like, is applied to the surface of the cavity of the injection molding tool, then thinner insulation layers 3 can also be injection molded.
- this insulation layer 3 is placed in the tool perpendicular to the tool parting plane, i.e. So standing, inserted and the conductive layer 2 sprayed on.
- the injection is carried out on the foot, the insulation layer 3 is overmolded with conductive compound from the foot to the tip 4.
- the surface of the insulation layer 3 melts briefly and connects to the conductive layer 2.
- the contour of the insulation layer 3 is on the tool wall with four edges designed so that these edges can be easily reached or melted by the melt of the conductive layer mass. In particular, the rounded transitions are provided for this.
- insulation layer 3 and conductive layer 2 but do not fuse the un- indirectly 'cavity in the region of the surface, then the mold surface in the area of Transition of insulation layer 3 and conductive layer 2 are in turn provided with a thermal barrier coating.
