Definitions
- the present invention relates to a prechamber spark plug with a housing, a ground electrode and an antechamber defined by the housing and a cap, wherein a center electrode is disposed within the prechamber.
- Pre-chamber spark plugs of the type in question are known for years from practice.
- prechamber spark plugs are for use in internal combustion engines operating on the lean burn principle.
- Prechamber spark plugs have an antechamber which interacts with the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine through transfer openings.
- the fuel-air mixture is ignited by means of sparks in the prechamber, after which the combustion in the form of ignition torches continues through the transfer openings into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine where it ignites the mixture.
- a pre-chamber spark plug is known, for example, from WO 2007/092972 A1.
- This spark plug has a pre-chamber provided with a pre-chamber wall and a cover surface.
- the Vorschwandung comprises a cylindrical part to which rectangular ground electrode electrodes are also fixed by rectangular ground electrodes.
- the ground electrodes are associated with rectangular ignition electrodes, which are attached to a central Zündelektrodenexcellent.
- the known prechamber spark plugs have the disadvantage that relatively high wall heat losses occur. Another disadvantage is the insufficient flame propagation, resulting in a minor efficiency of Vorhuntzündkerze.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object, a Vorkam merzündkerze the input type mentioned in such a way and further, that with simple design means the function of the pre-chamber spark plug is improved.
- the above object is solved by the features of claim 1.
- the prechamber spark plug in question is characterized in that the ratio V / D of the prechamber volume V to the largest inside diameter D of the prechamber is in the range of 30 mm 2 to 95 mm 2 .
- the invention is based on the finding that the layout of the prechamber has significant effects on the functionality of the prechamber spark plug.
- a sufficiently spherical configuration of the prechamber results in optimum flame propagation and reduced wall heat losses.
- the ratio V / D is optimized between the pre-chamber enclosed by the antechamber volume V and the largest inner diameter D of the pre-chamber, namely in the range of 30 mm 2 to 95 mm 2 .
- the functionality of the prechamber spark plug is ideally optimized.
- prechamber volume is to be understood as meaning the volume of the prechamber enclosed by the inner wall of the housing and the cap or the electrodes, without the overflow holes or crossover passages.
- the ratio V / D of prechamber volume V to the largest inner diameter D of the prechamber in the range of 35 mm 2 to 90 mm 2 .
- the ratio V / D is in the range of 40 mm 2 to 70 mm 2 , whereby optimal functionality of the antechamber is achieved, namely minimized wall heat losses and the flame propagation can be optimized.
- At least one corner and / or edge formed on the inside of the prechamber may be rounded.
- all of the corners and / or edges formed on the inside of the prechamber are rounded.
- the rounded design avoids hot spots in the antechamber. This has the advantage that an uncontrolled ignition of fuel-air mixture is prevented as much as possible on such a hot surface.
- the rounded corner or the rounded corners have a radius RE of greater than or equal to 0.4 mm, ie R> 0.4 mm and / or an angle ß in the range of greater than or equal to 90 ° define.
- At least one of the edges formed on the inside of the prechamber can have an angle ⁇ 'in the range of greater than or equal to 90 ° to less than 100 ° and / or have a radius RK of greater than or equal to 0.8 mm, i. 90 ° ⁇ ' ⁇ 100 ° and RK ⁇ 0.8 mm.
- the radius RK may be in a range of greater than or equal to 0.4 mm and / or the angle ⁇ 'may be greater than or equal to 120 °, i. ß '> 120 ° and R> 0.4 mm.
- the ratio y / D a between Vorstehdroit y and the largest outer diameter D a of the cap in the range of 0.2 to 1, 0 are.
- the Vorstehdroit y is defined as the length of the region of the pre-chamber spark plug, which projects beyond the combustion chamber roof out into the combustion chamber.
- the weld can be at the same level or above the combustion chamber roof when the Vorschzündkerze is arranged in the combustion chamber roof. This ensures that the weld is not subject to excessive erosion due to contact with the gases and the flames in the combustion chamber.
- the invention in question also includes a set consisting of a combustion chamber roof and a Vorschzündkerze with a housing, a ground electrode and a defined by the housing and a cap antechamber, wherein within the antechamber, a center electrode is arranged and in arranged in the combustion chamber roof state of the prechamber spark plug, the ratio y / D a between Vorstehdroit y and largest Outside diameter D a of the cap is in the range of 0.2 to 1, 0 and / or the cap connecting the cap with the housing at the same level or above the combustion chamber roof.
- the prechamber spark plug of the kit may have one or more features of claims 1 to 10 and the following description of the figures.
