Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heater and an ignition device.
  • a heater (ceramic heater) in which a heat-generating body is disposed in a ceramic body is known as an example of a heater for use in a gas stove, an on-vehicle heating device, a kerosene fan heater, a glow plug of an automobile engine, or the like.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a ceramic heater.
  • EP 1 696 704 A1 discloses that a ceramic heater comprises a ceramic body, a heat generating resistor buried in the ceramic body, an electrode pad that is electrically connected to the heat generating resistor and is formed on the surface of the ceramic body and a lead member bonded onto the electrode pad (cf. Abstract).
  • WO 2013/047849 A1 discloses that a heater comprises an insulating base made of ceramic, and an electrically conductive line embedded in the insulating base, wherein the electrically conductive line contains electrically conductive grains and ceramic grains, and the ceramic grains in the electrically conductive line have a smaller average grain size than the ceramic grains in the insulating base (cf. Abstract).
  • a heater includes a ceramic multilayer body including a plurality of ceramic layers that are stacked together; a heat-generating resistor having a belt shape, the heat-generating resistor being disposed between the ceramic layers and arranged, and including both ends that are at a side surface of the ceramic multilayer body; and conductive layers having a belt shape, disposed between the ceramic layers and stacked on both end portions of the heat-generating resistor in such a manner that one end of each conductive layer is at the side surface.
  • a heater 10 will be described with reference to the drawings.
  • the ceramic multilayer body 1 is a member in which the heat-generating resistor 2 and the conductive layers 3 are embedded.
  • the durability of the heat-generating resistor 2 and the conductive layers 3 can be increased by placing the heat-generating resistor 2 and the conductive layers 3 in the ceramic multilayer body 1.
  • the ceramic multilayer body 1 is, for example, a rod-shaped or plate-shaped member.
  • the ceramic multilayer body 1 is made of an electrically insulative ceramic, such as an insulating ceramic, a nitride ceramic, or a carbide ceramic. More specifically, the ceramic multilayer body 1 is made of, for example, an alumina ceramic, a silicon nitride ceramic, an aluminum nitride ceramic, or a silicon carbide ceramic.
  • the ceramic multilayer body 1 made of a silicon nitride ceramic may be obtained by the following method.
  • silicon nitride which is the main component, is mixed with 5 to 15 mass% of rare earth oxide, such as Y 2 O 3 , Yb 2 O 3 , or Er 2 O 3 , which functions as a sintering additive; 0.5 to 5 mass% of Al 2 O 3 ; and SiO 2 , the amount of which is adjusted so that the amount of SiO 2 in the sintered body is 1.5 to 5 mass%.
  • the thus-obtained material is formed in a predetermined shape, and is then fired at a temperature of 1650°C to 1780°C.
  • Hot press firing for example, may be performed in the firing process.
  • the heat-generating resistor 2 is a layer-shaped member that generates heat when a voltage is applied thereto.
  • the heat-generating resistor 2 is disposed between the adjacent ceramic layers 11.
  • a voltage is applied to the heat-generating resistor 2
  • a current flows through the heat-generating resistor 2
  • the heat-generating resistor 2 generates heat.
  • the generated heat is transferred through the ceramic multilayer body 1, so that the temperature of the surface of the ceramic multilayer body 1 increases.
  • the heat is transferred from the surface of the ceramic multilayer body 1 to an object to be heated, thereby providing the function of the heater 10.
  • the object to be heated that receives the heat from the surface of the ceramic multilayer body 1 is, for example, diesel oil to be supplied to an automobile diesel engine.
  • the heat-generating resistor 2 is designed so as to generate a large amount of heat in a region near the front end of the ceramic multilayer body 1. More specifically, the conductive layers 3 are stacked on both end portions of the heat-generating resistor 2 in a region near the rear end of the ceramic multilayer body 1. Accordingly, a current flows through both the heat-generating resistor 2 and the conductive layers 3 in the region near the rear end of the ceramic multilayer body 1. As a result, the amount of heat generated by the heat-generating resistor 2 is small in the region near the rear end of the ceramic multilayer body 1. In contrast, the current flows only through the heat-generating resistor 2 in the region near the front end of the ceramic multilayer body 1. As a result, the amount of heat generated by the heat-generating resistor 2 is large in the region near the front end of the ceramic multilayer body 1.
  • the heat-generating resistor 2 is made of, for example, a material having a carbide, nitride, silicide, etc., of tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), etc., as the main component.
  • the heat-generating resistor 2 is preferably made of a material having tungsten carbide as the main component. In this case, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic multilayer body 1 and that of the heat-generating resistor 2 can be made close to each other.
  • the second conductive layer 32 is formed of grains having a large average grain diameter, the number of grain boundaries of the grains of the second conductive layers 32 can be reduced. Therefore, the resistance of the second conductive layer 32 can be reduced. Accordingly, unnecessary heat generation by each conductive layer 3 can be suppressed.
  • the first conductive layer 31 and the second conductive layer 32 preferably partially overlap.
  • each conductive layer 3 can be formed so as to have a coefficient of thermal expansion that changes gradually in the length direction thereof. As a result, the possibility that cracks will be formed in the conductive layers 3 in a heat cycle can be reduced.
  • the first conductive layer 31 is located between the second conductive layer 32 and the heat-generating resistor 2, and, in a region in which the first conductive layer 31 is located between the second conductive layer 32 and the heat-generating resistor 2, the first conductive layer 31 has a thickness that decreases toward the other end thereof.
  • each conductive layer 3 can be formed so as to have a coefficient of thermal expansion that changes smoothly. As a result, the possibility that cracks will be formed in the conductive layers 3 in a heat cycle can be further reduced.
  • the layer used as the third conductive layer 33 may be formed of grains having an average grain diameter smaller than that of the grains of the second conductive layer 32. In such a case, the number of crystal grain boundaries of the grains of the third conductive layer 33 can be increased. Accordingly, the resistance of the third conductive layer 33 can be set to a value higher than that of the second conductive layer 32. Therefore, the amount of heat generated by the heat-generating resistor 2 can be changed gradually. Accordingly, the surface of the heater 10 can be heated in such a manner that the temperature thereof changes gradually. As a result, the risk that a large local thermal stress will be generated in the ceramic multilayer body 1 can be reduced.
  • the first to third conductive layers 31 to 33 are made of, for example, a highly heat-resistant metal material, such as molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), or rhenium (Re). MoSi 2 , WSi 2 , etc., are preferably mixed in the material to make the coefficient of thermal expansion close to that of the ceramic multilayer body 1.
  • the length of a portion of the first conductive layer 31 that extends in the length direction of the heat-generating resistor 2 is set to about 2 to 10 mm.
  • the thickness of the first conductive layer 31 is set to about 5 to 30 ⁇ m.
  • the length of a portion of the second conductive layer 32 that extends in the length direction of the heat-generating resistor 2 is set to about 5 to 20 mm.
  • the thickness of the second conductive layer 32 is set to about 25 to 75 ⁇ m.
  • the length of the overlapping region is set to, for example, about 500 ⁇ m.
  • the average grain diameter of the first conductive layer 31 is preferably less than 1 ⁇ m. In such a case, entrance of the outside air into the first conductive layer 31 through the spaces between the grains can be suppressed, and therefore the risk that the outside air will flow into the first conductive layer 31 can be reduced.
  • the voidage of the first conductive layer is preferably less than 20%. In such a case, entrance of the outside air into the first conductive layer 31 can be suppressed.
  • the average grain diameter of each conductive layer 3 can be determined by, for example, the following method. That is, the heater 10 is cut along a plane that passes through the conductive layer 3 and that is perpendicular to the conductive layer 3 by using a diamond cutter. Then, the cut surface is ground by using diamond powder. After that, the first conductive layer 31 and the second conductive layer 32 are observed by using a scanning electron microscope or metallographic microscope. More specifically, five arbitrary straight lines are drawn on the image obtained by the scanning electron microscope or metallographic microscope. Then, the average of the lengths of portions of the five straight lines, each portion passing through ten grains, is determined. The average grain diameter is determined by dividing the average by ten, which is the number of grains. The average grain diameter may instead be calculated by using an image analyzing device (LUZEX-FS produced by Nireco Corporation). This image analyzing device can also be used to measure the voidage of the first conductive layer 31.
  • an image analyzing device (LUZEX-FS produced by Nireco Corporation). This image
  • the heater 10 is used in, for example, an ignition device 100 illustrated in Fig. 5 .
  • the ignition device 100 includes the heater 10 and a channel 20 through which fuel gas is supplied to the heater 10.
  • the channel 20 includes, for example, a gas valve 21 and a gas flow pipe 22 having ejection holes 23.
  • the gas valve 21 has a function of controlling the flow rate of the fuel gas.
  • the fuel gas supplied from the gas valve 21 is, for example, natural gas or propane gas.
  • the gas flow pipe 22 ejects the fuel gas, which is supplied from the gas valve 21, toward the heater 10 through the ejection holes 23.
  • the ejected fuel gas can be ignited by heating the fuel gas with the heater 10.
  • the ignition device 100 which includes the heater 10 having improved long-term reliability, has increased fuel-gas ignition stability.
