Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a spark plug for an internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a spark plug for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 7.
- Ignited internal combustion engines require a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture compressed in their combustion chambers.
- electrically operated spark plugs are used, which serve the controlled provision of the respective spark.
- the spark forms as an open arc between a center electrode and at least one ground electrode of the spark plug.
- spark plugs have a main body with a connecting portion, which may have, for example, an external thread. In this way, the spark plug can be screwed into a corresponding opening in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
- the ground electrode Due to the electrically conductive connection with the connecting portion, the ground electrode already has a ground contact with the vehicle ground in the arrangement of the spark plug in the cylinder head.
- the center electrode can be connected, for example via an ignition cable with an ignition coil. By the ignition coil, the center electrode can be acted upon with a corresponding ignition voltage.
- the center electrode and the ground electrode are electrically insulated from each other via a suitable insulator body, since the flashover of the ignition voltage should only take place between the two electrodes.
- the electrode spacing represents a pre-adjustable criterion in order to obtain the desired combustion of the fuel-air mixture.
- any deposits can form at the top of the head.
- the deposits are mostly coal. These carbon deposits are due to the combustion process of each fuel.
- Such deposits concentrate essentially on the part of the insulator body lying in the head region. Depending on the operating time, these deposits can reach a porous structure several millimeters thick.
- the resulting problem is due to their electrical conductivity.
- due to the deposits forming between the metallic regions of the head region of the spark plug misfires and uncontrolled ignition sparks can occur over time.
- the deposits at the end of a combustion cycle tend to be uncontrolled afterglow; similar to a glow plug. Due to the then disturbed or even incomplete combustion of the fuel-air mixture, this ultimately leads to undesirably high levels of volatile organic substances in the exhaust gas (HC emissions).
- a catalytic noble metal coating is proposed, which is formed on the lying in the head region of the spark plug tip of the insulator body.
- the precious metal coating may be platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) or rhodium (Rh).
- the proposed noble metal coating is intended to lower the necessary temperature for the burning off of deposits. This is particularly interesting in the cold start phase of the internal combustion engine, in which there is still no optimal operating temperature. By thus achievable reduction of the burning temperature ultimately the oxidation of the deposits should be accelerated accordingly. With respect to the position of the noble metal coating, this is limited to the center surface of the spark plug facing inner surface of the insulator bore.
- the insulator bore is usually the opening within the insulator body which releases the center electrode otherwise gripped by the insulator body to allow it to interact with the ground electrode.
- the DE 42 22 137 B4 is a fuel injector for a diesel internal combustion engine refer. This comprises a nozzle body with these penetrating spray holes, on the wall of which a coating is applied. The coating thickens towards the outlet of the spray holes so that the spray holes taper towards their outlet.
- the coating itself is made of a hard material such as chromium, nickel, nickel-phosphorus, nickel-boron, nickel-cobalt-boron, Al 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , Cr 3 C 2 , SiO 2 , AlSi, NiCr, WTi or WC formed.
- a fuel injection valve which also has a at least around the mouth region of its outlet opening around a coating.
- the coating is a catalytically active layer of Co or Ni or cobalt or nickel oxides or oxides of Co or Ni alloys or Ru or Rh or Pd or Os or Ir or Pt or alloys of these metals with each other or with others metals.
- the JP 2007-309167 A shows a combustion chamber cleaning system for an internal combustion engine.
- titanium oxide is applied to a surface of an injection opening of an injector.
- the JP 2005-155618 A discloses a method of forming a coating of titanium oxide on a nozzle of an injector.
- the JP H05-242954 A discloses the features of the preamble of claim 7.
- spark plugs for internal combustion engines in particular for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles, continue to offer room for improvement.
- the invention has the object, further develop a method for producing a spark plug and a spark plug for an internal combustion engine to the effect that a cost-effective and integrable in existing production processes possibility of forming a suitable coating is made possible by which a secure function to improve the guaranteed exhaust emissions during operation.
- the inventive method includes the production of a spark plug for an internal combustion engine.
- the internal combustion engine may particularly preferably be a motor vehicle engine.
- the spark plug to be produced has a main body which comprises a head region. At least partially a coating is arranged on the head area.
- the head region is designed to be in the installed state of the spark plug in the internal combustion engine facing at least one of its combustion chambers. In this case, the head region can be arranged at least partially in the associated combustion chamber. In this respect, the head portion is intended to be assigned to the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- the spark plug itself may have a typical structure. This includes a center electrode and at least one of these spaced and at least partially incorporation of an insulator body with respect to the center electrode electrically isolated ground electrode.
- the essence of the method according to the invention is the formation of an enamel coating on the head region of the main body of the spark plug. Compared to the arrangement of a noble metal coating, this results in the advantage that the enamel coating according to the invention already largely prevents the deposition of oil carbon. In this respect, the enamel coating does not serve to lower the necessary temperature for burnup of such deposits, but at least prevents or reduces its formation from the beginning.
- the enamel coating according to the invention acts as an additional insulator, so that any penetration of the spark is reliably prevented. This is particularly relevant if, over time, possible deposits on the head area should form. Since the deposits are electrically conductive, in the known in the prior art arrangement of a likewise electrically conductive noble metal coating, an uncontrolled, and harmful spark arise, which is avoidable with the invention.
- the arrangement of the enamel coating according to the invention can be integrated in an advantageous manner easily in existing manufacturing processes of spark plugs. Due to the heat-resistant properties of an enamel coating, it is extremely resistant in terms of its place of use and the associated and acting on it thermal stresses.
- the enamel coating may particularly preferably be an oxidic as well as smooth and catalytically effective enamel coating.
- the enamel coating can also be designed as a "clean enamel" his.
- Such enamel coatings are known, for example, in the lining of household appliances such as ovens. These include a self-cleaning effect when the oven is operated at a higher temperature than usual. This is then a cleaning annealing, in which any adherent deposits such as oil deposits can be degraded purely catalytically without mechanical action.
- slip is understood as the starting point for the enamel coating to be arranged.
- This may preferably be a mass in the form of a mineral mixture, which is in a liquid, pulpy to viscous consistency and is applied in a suitable manner to the roughened or the parts of the head region.
- a contact or contactless method with respect to the use of a coating agent is conceivable for the application.
- the slip can be applied with the aid of a job roll or application brush.
- the order can be done for example by dipping or spraying, in particular airless spraying.
- the subsequent drying of the applied slurry can be carried out, for example, in ambient air or by flowing on heated air.
- the subsequent heating of the dried slurry serves to form the enamel coating.
- heating also means annealing, sintering or baking.
- a metallic part of the spark plug located within the head region can be at least partially roughened and provided with the slip before heating.
- the invention provides that the enamel coating can be formed on metallic parts of the head region.
- the finished enamel coating can extend over an inner and an outer part of the head region.
- an inner part is hereby understood that area which faces the mostly central center electrode.
- the outer part is that region which faces away from the center electrode. Due to its electrically insulating effect, the enamel coating on the inner part has the task of effectively preventing a possible strike-through of the spark via already existing deposits. Their arrangement on the outer part, however, primarily serves to prevent deposits, which otherwise lead to high emission values due to their afterglow.
- a part of the insulator body situated within the head region is at least partially roughened and provided with the slip.
- the arrangement of the enamel coating also extends to areas of the insulator body.
- An advantageous further development of the invention provides that a possible overspray of the applied slip after its drying can be at least partially removed mechanically before heating. This is primarily about the center electrode and / or the at least one ground electrode. The goal is the formation of a controlled and sufficient spark, for which the corresponding electrons should be as bright as possible. Depending on the method of application of the slurry used, it may therefore be necessary to remove the undesired orders of the slurry referred to as overspray locally before it is heated.
- the basis for the application of the slip is created by a suitable Aufrauvon the head area.
- the invention provides for this that the first required roughening of parts of the head area or the entire head area can be done for example by means of steel gravel beams.
- further Aufrauvon are conceivable, which allow a suitable pre-processing of the respective surfaces for the order of the slip.
- the roughening serves primarily to create a durable bond between the surface of the head area and the enamel coating. This can thereby anchor itself better in the surface of the head area.
- by roughening the contact surface can be increased.
- the heating of the applied slurry in a temperature range of 800 ° C to 900 ° C can be performed. More preferably, the heating can be done using a shielding gas. By heating under a protective gas, the formation of scale and tarnishing layers, in particular on the external thread of the spark plug can be effectively prevented.
- the now presented inventive method for producing a spark plug enables a cost-effective and easily integrated into existing production processes possibility of forming a coating in the form of an enamel coating. Due to the electrically insulating effect of the temperature-resistant enamel coating in combination with their prevention of deposits overall safe operation of the spark plug is guaranteed to improve the exhaust emissions produced during operation.

- the oxides of Ti, Zr and Mo can serve.
- ceramic pigments such as e.g. Iron oxides, chromium oxides and spinels may be included.
- the substances mentioned are finely ground and melted in a preferred embodiment.
- the melt is quenched, so preferably added to water, wherein the resulting granular glassy frit is finely ground again in the subsequent step.
- 30% to 40% of water is added together with clay and quartz flour.
- the opacifiers and color oxides mentioned are added.
- an enamel slip is formed, which for a better mixture should rest for some time, preferably a few days, before the enamel slip would continue to be used.
- suitable adjusting means it is ensured that a uniform layer thickness results.
- this may preferably have a high content of cerium oxide (CeO). Due to its catalytic effect will be evaporated on the surface of the enamel coating settling fuel droplets. As a result, no deposits can form, which could later have negative effects on the exhaust emissions. Furthermore, this can be the start temperature for burning the fuel and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are reduced in an advantageous manner. As a result, the emission values of the internal combustion engine can also be reduced.
