Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the breakage of a contact section due to high temperature and stabilize heating over a long period by pressing the terminal of a lead wire and the end section of a heating element to each other via spring excitation for electrical connection without brazing the lead wire and the heating element. CONSTITUTION:The ceramic body 21 of a ceramic heater 20 is fitted on the surface of a carburetor 1, the ceramic body 21 is constituted of upper and lower portions 21a, 21b, paste of a heating element 22 such as W-Mo is printed on the surface of the lower portion 21b, and it is baked to form the heating element 22. The upper portion 21a of the ceramic body 21 is stuck, and a terminal section 22a is exposed without being covered by the upper portion 21a. W is metallized on the surface of the terminal section 22a of the heating element 22, it is further Ni-plated then Au-plated. The terminal 23a of a lead wire 23 is pressed to the terminal section 22a and held as a plate spring body. Since the terminal 23a is pressed to the terminal section 22a in the spring excitation state, it is not opened by some thermal stress, it has no brazed section, and it is not broken by the repeated high temperature and thermal stress.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, a ceramic heater used as a heating element for a vaporizer of an oil vaporization combustor has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view, in which a ceramic body 11 of a ceramic heater 10 is attached to the surface of a vaporizer l, and a heating element (for example, WMo type) 12 is printed and fired while being sandwiched within the ceramic body 11. has been done. One location of the ceramic body 11 is opened to the heating element 12, and a nickel wire (nickel wire) 13 is soldered with silver 14 to the lead wire. The glass coat 15 increases strength and prevents oxidation.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in the above conventional ceramic heater, the brazing 1
The disadvantage was that the fourth part was easily damaged by repeated thermal stress. That is, the nickel wire lead wire and the silver solder do not fit well, and are likely to come off due to thermal stress. Also, if the wax is replaced with copper wax, it will fit better, but since it is hard, it is also prone to breakage due to thermal stress.

<Function> Instead of brazing, the terminals of the heating element and the terminals of the lead wire are pressed against each other with a spring bias, so brazing does not cause damage to the parts due to high temperature or thermal stress. I don't get it. Moreover, since they are pressed against each other in a spring-biased state, the electrical connection state can be reliably maintained even against thermal stress and other stresses. Also, unlike the case of brazing, the attachment of the connection part can be easily removed and repaired.

A ceramic body 21 of a ceramic heater 20 is attached to the surface of the vaporizer 1. The ceramic body 21 consists of upper and lower parts 21a and 21b, and a paste of a heating element 22 (for example, WM type) is printed on the surface of the lower part 21b, and the paste is fired to form the heating element 22. After that, the upper part 21a of the ceramic body 21 is pasted together. In that case, the terminal part 22a of the heating element 22 is not covered with the upper part 21a,
Leave it exposed. The surface of the terminal portion 22a of the heating element 22 is metallized with tungsten, further plated with nickel, and then plated with gold. This gold plating prevents the terminal portion 22a from oxidizing.

On the other hand, the lead wire 23 has its terminal 23a as a leaf spring body,
The terminal 23a of the plate spring body is held pressed against the terminal portion 22a of the heating element 22 by a support (not shown). A portion of the terminal 23a of the spring body that presses against the terminal portion 22a may be plated with gold. Terminal 23a of the leaf spring body
can be welded or mechanically joined to the lead wire 23. Both the lead wire 23 and the terminal 23a of the temporary spring body can be made of stainless steel. Current is supplied from the lead wire 23 to the heating element 22 via the terminal 23a and the terminal portion 22a. Since the terminal 23a on the lead wire side is pressed against the terminal portion 22a of the heating element in a spring-biased state, the wire will not break due to some thermal stress. Also, since there are no parts in brazing, there is no risk of damage due to repeated exposure to high temperatures or thermal stress.

<Effects> The present invention has the above configuration, and according to the ceramic heater according to claim 1, the terminal of the lead wire and the terminal portion of the heating element can be connected to each other without brazing the lead wire and the heating element. Since the structure is configured such that the electrical connection is made by pressing the contact portion in a spring-biased state, the contact will not be easily broken or the contact portion will not break even due to high temperature or thermal stress. Therefore, stable heat generation can be ensured over a long period of time. Furthermore, since the lead wires and the heating element are not inseparably fixed as in the case of brazing, mutual attachment, removal, and repair of the lead wire and the heating element can be easily performed.
