Definitions
- the invention relates to a glow plug according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing the glow plug.
- the glow plugs of the prior art have a glow plug inserted into a metallic housing, which is embodied with an incandescent tube and an incandescent tube arranged in the incandescent tube.
- the incandescent filament is electrically contacted at one end in an opening of the glow tube with a connecting bolt and at the other end with the metallic glow tube.
- the opening of the glow tube is sealed between glow tube and connecting bolt to protect the filament by means of a radiator seal against ambient air. So that no short circuit occurs between the glow tube and connecting bolt, the radiator seal is performed by a sealing element made of an elastomer.
- the maximum temperature for the elastomeric sealing element is limited to 1000 hours for long-term use at 200 ° C. When used in internal combustion engines, this use limit plays a minor role, since the cylinder head of the internal combustion engines, is screwed into the glow plug with the housing, cooled below 200 ° C.

Depending on the material used for the electrical insulating layer, the operating temperature is limited only by the material for the glow tube, the connecting bolt and the housing. In this case, the connection-side region of the glow plug can be exposed to the same temperatures in extreme cases as in the annealing range of the glow plug.
- the electrical insulating layer is formed at least in the region of the sealing portion on the connecting bolt and / or on the inner wall of the glow tube.
- the press connection between glow tube, sealing element and connecting bolt is achieved by the glow tube has a diameter reduction at least in the region of the sealing portion, by means of which the glow tube is pressed onto the connecting bolt.
- glow plug has a metallic housing 10 with a continuous longitudinal bore 12, in which a glow plug 14 is pressed as a radiator.
- the glow plug 14 consists of a metallic glow tube 16, in which an incandescent filament 18 is arranged, which is electrically contacted at one end with the glow tube 16 and at the other end with a terminal bolt 17.
- the connecting bolt 17, which is led out of the housing 10 at the opposite end to the glow plug 14 with a connection 21, is surrounded within the housing 10 by an annular space 13, which in turn is sealed off from the surroundings.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Glühkerze nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung der Glühkerze.The invention relates to a glow plug according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing the glow plug.
Die Glühkerzen des Standes der Technik weisen einen in ein metallisches Gehäuse eingesetzten Glühstift auf, der mit einem Glührohr und einer im Glührohr angeordneten Glühwendel ausgeführt ist. Die Glühwendel ist an einem Ende in einer Öffnung des Glührohres mit einem Anschlussbolzen und am anderen Ende mit dem metallischen Glührohr elektrisch kontaktiert. Die Öffnung des Glührohres ist zwischen Glührohr und Anschlussbolzen zum Schutz der Glühwendel mittels einer Heizkörperdichtung gegen Umgebungsluft abgedichtet. Damit zwischen dem Glührohr und Anschlussbolzen kein Kurzschluss entsteht ist die Heizkörperdichtung durch ein Dichtelement aus einem Elastomer ausgeführt. Die Maximaltemperatur für das Dichtelement aus Elastomer ist bei langfristigem Einsatz bei 200 °C auf 1000 Stunden beschränkt. Beim Einsatz in Verbrennungsmotoren spielt diese Einsatzgrenze eine untergeordnete Rolle, da der Zylinderkopf der Verbrennungsmotoren, in die Glühkerze mit dem Gehäuse eingeschraubt wird, unter 200 °C gekühlt wird.The glow plugs of the prior art have a glow plug inserted into a metallic housing, which is embodied with an incandescent tube and an incandescent tube arranged in the incandescent tube. The incandescent filament is electrically contacted at one end in an opening of the glow tube with a connecting bolt and at the other end with the metallic glow tube. The opening of the glow tube is sealed between glow tube and connecting bolt to protect the filament by means of a radiator seal against ambient air. So that no short circuit occurs between the glow tube and connecting bolt, the radiator seal is performed by a sealing element made of an elastomer. The maximum temperature for the elastomeric sealing element is limited to 1000 hours for long-term use at 200 ° C. When used in internal combustion engines, this use limit plays a minor role, since the cylinder head of the internal combustion engines, is screwed into the glow plug with the housing, cooled below 200 ° C.
Es ist auch denkbar, Glühkerzen außerhalb des gekühlten Motorblocks einzusetzen, z. B. im Abgasstrang eines Kraftfahrzeugs, in Injektionsbrennern zum Beheizen des Abgasstrangs, in Zuheizeinrichtungen für Kraftfahrzeuge oder für Anwendungsbereiche außerhalb von Kraftfahrzeugen, z. B. als Zündquelle für Pellet-Heizungen. Bei derartigen Anwendungen, in denen die Umgebung der Glühkerze nicht mehr gekühlt wird, kann ein Elastomer nicht mehr als Dichtelement eingesetzt werden.It is also conceivable to use glow plugs outside of the cooled engine block, z. B. in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle, in injection burners for heating the exhaust line, in Zuheizeinrichtungen for motor vehicles or for applications outside of motor vehicles, eg. B. as an ignition source for pellet heaters. In such applications where the environment of the Glow plug is no longer cooled, an elastomer can not be used as a sealing element.

Die erfindungsgemäße Glühkerze und das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung der Glühkerze haben den Vorteil, dass eine sichere und kostengünstige Heizkörperdichtung erzielbar ist, die eine hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit erreicht, weil die Einsatztemperatur der Heizkörperdichtung nur durch die Eigenschaften der elektrischen Isolierschicht begrenzt wird. Je nach verwendetem Material für die elektrische Isolierschicht ist die Einsatztemperatur nur noch durch den Werkstoff für das Glührohr, den Anschlussbolzen und das Gehäuse begrenzt. In diesem Fall kann der anschlussseitige Bereich der Glühkerze im Extremfall gleichen Temperaturen ausgesetzt werden wie im Glühbereich des Glühstifts.The glow plug according to the invention and the inventive method for producing the glow plug have the advantage that a safe and inexpensive radiator seal can be achieved, which achieves high temperature resistance, because the operating temperature of the radiator seal is limited only by the properties of the electrical insulating layer. Depending on the material used for the electrical insulating layer, the operating temperature is limited only by the material for the glow tube, the connecting bolt and the housing. In this case, the connection-side region of the glow plug can be exposed to the same temperatures in extreme cases as in the annealing range of the glow plug.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind durch die Merkmale der Unteransprüche möglich.Advantageous developments of the invention are possible by the features of the subclaims.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird die elektrische Isolierschicht zumindest im Bereich des Dichtungsabschnitts am Anschlussbolzen und/oder an der Innenwand des Glührohres ausgebildet. Die Pressverbindung zwischen Glührohr, Dichtelement und Anschlussbolzen wird dadurch erzielt, indem das Glührohr zumindest im Bereich des Dichtungsabschnittes eine Durchmesserreduzierung aufweist, mittels welcher das Glührohr auf den Anschlussbolzen gepresst wird.Advantageously, the electrical insulating layer is formed at least in the region of the sealing portion on the connecting bolt and / or on the inner wall of the glow tube. The press connection between glow tube, sealing element and connecting bolt is achieved by the glow tube has a diameter reduction at least in the region of the sealing portion, by means of which the glow tube is pressed onto the connecting bolt.
