Definitions
- the invention relates to a glow plug for a fuel engine, consisting of a candle housing, a connector part arranged on the plug housing for the electrical
- Electricity and a pen heater usually a pipe with an embedded heating element.
- the connecting part and the heating element are electrically coupled via a connecting bolt and a contact element.
- the contact element forms the so-called positive contact with the connection bolt and the connection area of the pin heater inside the housing.
- the invention relates in particular to designs in which the contact is produced by an elastic conductor element, such as a graphite jolette.
- ceramic adapter sleeves are used for insulation and fixation. These cover the connecting bolt and the graphite tablet and thus prevent contact with the housing. At the same time, they ensure that the contact element remains in a defined position in which good contact with the pin heater or with the heating element is ensured.
- Glow plugs with small diameters are often required. Since the electrical properties are determined by the pin heater and the connecting bolt or their dimensions, there is little space between the connecting bolt and the housing.
- the clamping sleeves must therefore be manufactured with a small wall thickness, which is associated with high manufacturing and cost expenditure for ceramic materials.
- the object of the invention is to propose a glow plug which shows a stable fixation of the contact element and in which the fixation and insulation of the contact element can be produced inexpensively.
- the solution to the problem is that the connecting bolt and the contact element are at least partially surrounded by an electrically insulating plastic sleeve within the housing.
- a sleeve preferably a plastic adapter sleeve
- very simple electrical insulation from the housing is achieved.
- the plastic sleeves have the advantage over ceramic sleeves that they can be manufactured more simply and therefore more cost-effectively. This applies in particular to sleeves with thin walls, as are often required in glow plugs.
- Plastics can provide good insulation even with thin walls and are at the same time robust enough to withstand further processing steps. If, for example, a support tube surrounding the heating element is connected to the housing, which is done by pressing, hammering, soldering or welding, strong forces sometimes also act on the plastic sleeve.
- Plastic sleeves can easily be of various dimensions and
- Molds are made.
- An advantageous embodiment is the production of the plastic sleeve as an adapter sleeve.
- the contact element To make good contact, the contact element must have as large an area as possible on the heating element and the connecting bolt. couple the zen. For a tubular component such as the glow plug, a cylindrical shape of the contact element is therefore appropriate. In order to ensure adequate insulation from the housing, the plastic sleeve must therefore completely surround the cylinder jacket.
- plastics can also be provided with elastic properties.
- the plastic sleeve has an elasticity in the radial and or longitudinal direction. The elasticity increases the robustness of the component and reduces the likelihood of breakage during assembly or during loads during operation.
- the plastic sleeve can be made in one piece or, in a further advantageous embodiment, also in multiple pieces. The individual parts can then be combined in a modular principle for glow plugs of different types.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of part of a glow plug, in section. Description of the embodiment
- This glow plug 1 shows the parts of a glow plug 1 on which the invention is based.
- This glow plug 1 consists of a plug housing 2 and a connection area 3 of a pin heater 4, not shown.
- connection bolt 5 is provided within the housing 2.
- a contact element 6 is provided between these two elements. This is preferably elastic.
- Such a contact element 6 can be, for example, a graphite tablet.
- a plastic sleeve 7 is inserted into the housing 2 according to the invention, within which the connecting pin 4 is arranged.
- This plastic sleeve 7 can be easily and inexpensively manufactured with a small wall thickness 8.
- a recess 9 is provided in the connection area 3, into which the contact element 6 can be inserted at least in part.
- the sleeve 7 is preferably formed in one piece. It is designed as an adapter sleeve and thus lies against the inner wall 10 of the housing 2.
