Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zündspule für eine Brennkraftmaschine mit einem eine Primärwicklung (1) tragenden, vorzugsweise zylindrischen, Primärspulenkörper (2), einem Niederspannungsanschlussbereich (10) zum Anschließen der Primärwicklung (1) an eine Niederspannung, einer mit der Primärwicklung (1) induktiv gekoppelten Sekundärwicklung (3), zum Bereitstellen einer Hochspannung für eine Zündkerze der Brennkraftmaschine, wobei die Sekundärwicklung (3) von einem vom Primärspulenkörper (2) konzentrisch umgebenen Sekundärspulenkörper (4) getragen wird, einem Hochspannungsanschlussbereich (5), in welchem die Sekundärwicklung (3) die Zündkerze kontaktiert, wobei der Sekundärspulenkörper (4) einen zylindrischen magnetischen Kern (6) umschließt und Primärspulenkörper (2) und Sekundärspulenkörper (4) gemeinsam von einer elektrisch und magnetisch leitfähigen Hülse (7) umgeben sind, wobei die Hülse (7) einen durchgehenden Längsschlitz (8) aufweist, sowie ein Verfahren zu deren Herstellung. Eine Zündspule der genannten Art soll dahingehend weiterentwickelt werden, dass im Falle einer ungeradzahligen Lagenzahl der Primärwicklung eine verbesserte mechanische und elektrische Zuverlässigkeit erreicht wird, indem die vom Niederspannungsanschluss entfernt austretende Wicklungszuleitung derart entlang des Erstreckungsbereichs des Längsschlitzes der Hülse geführt ist, dass sie zumindest teilweise innerhalb des äußeren Umkreises der Hülse verläuft.

The invention relates to an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine having a primary winding (1) bearing, preferably cylindrical primary coil body (2), a low voltage terminal region (10) for connecting the primary winding (1) to a low voltage, one with the primary winding (1) inductively coupled Secondary winding (3), for providing a high voltage for a spark plug of the internal combustion engine, wherein the secondary winding (3) by a primary coil body (2) concentrically surrounded secondary coil body (4) is supported, a high voltage terminal region (5), in which the secondary winding (3) contacting the spark plug, wherein the secondary coil body (4) encloses a cylindrical magnetic core (6) and primary coil body (2) and secondary coil body (4) are jointly surrounded by an electrically and magnetically conductive sleeve (7), wherein the sleeve (7) has a continuous Longitudinal slot (8), as well as a method n for their production. An ignition coil of the type mentioned is to be further developed so that in the case of an odd number of layers of the primary winding improved mechanical and electrical reliability is achieved by the remote from the low voltage terminal winding lead is guided so along the extension of the longitudinal slot of the sleeve that they at least partially within the outer circumference of the sleeve extends.
