Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zündeinrichtung (10), insbesondere eine Zündkerze für eine Verbrennungskraftmaschine und ein Verfahren zur Positionierung von wenigstens einer Masseelektrode der Zündeinrichtung (10), wobei die Zündeinrichtung (10) einen Zündkerzenkörper (1), ein elektrisches Isolierelement (3), eine Mittelelektrode (2), die zentrisch im Isolierelement (3) angeordnet ist und von der Fußspitze des Isolierelementes (31) vorsteht und seitlich zur Mittelelektrode (2) angestellte Masseelektroden, die mit dem Zündkerzenkörper (1) verbunden sind, umfasst, wobei wenigstens eine der Masseelektroden mit einer zweiten Masseelektrode im Wesentlichen auf der gleichen Höhe angeordnet ist und ein erstes Masseelektrodenpaar (4) bildet, wobei das erste Masseelektrodenpaar (4) zu wenigstens einem weiteren Masseelektrodenpaar in Bezug auf die Spitze (21) der Mittelelektrode (2) höhenversetzt angeordnet ist und jede Masseelektrode zusammen mit der Mittelelektrode (2) einen im Wesentlichen gleichen Elektrodenabstand (g1) ausbildet.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to an ignition device (10), in particular a spark plug for an internal combustion engine and a method for positioning at least one ground electrode of the ignition device (10), wherein the ignition device (10) has a spark plug body (1), an electrical insulating element (3), a Central electrode (2), which is arranged centrally in the insulating element (3) and projecting from the toe of the insulating element (31) and laterally to the central electrode (2) employed Masseelektroden, which are connected to the spark plug body (1) comprises, wherein at least one of Ground electrodes is arranged with a second ground electrode substantially at the same height and forms a first ground electrode pair (4), wherein the first ground electrode pair (4) is arranged offset in height to at least one further ground electrode pair with respect to the tip (21) of the center electrode (2) and each ground electrode together with the center electrode (2) has a substantially same electrode spacing (g1) is formed.
