DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a preheating plug used as a starting aid for a diesel engine.

Recently, in order to more effectively heat the engine with the preheating plug and increase the engine startup effect, preheating plugs have been developed in which the heating element is made of ceramic material and a heating element is printed or embedded inside the ceramic material. Attempts are being made to use it.

In this case, according to the inventor's research, ceramic material is capable of high-temperature and rapid heating, but its strength against tensile force is particularly low, so if the ceramic material is made circular in cross section like a conventional preheating plug without any consideration, Sufficient strength cannot be obtained at the joint between the heating element and the heating ceramic body. For this reason, the ceramic pillar material before firing is divided into parts, a heating element is placed in the center, and then the parts are overlapped and fired while being pressed. Therefore, since the heating element has to be made into a flat shape, the distance from the heating element to the outer surface of the heating element becomes largely uneven, which causes an imbalance in the temperature distribution inside the heating element when the heating element is heated. At that time, the heating element may be damaged due to locally generated excessive thermal stress (thermal shock), and if one end of the heating element is close to the surface of the heating element, a large amount of electrical energy is required to heat it rapidly. It has been found that when this happens, there is a risk that the exothermic temperature may exceed the strength limit of ceramics in an oxidizing atmosphere.

In view of the above, in the case of a preheating plug made of ceramic material, it is necessary to maximize the heat generation effect and make the temperature of each part of the heating element substantially uniform within a range that does not cause the damage described above.

A heating element using the above-mentioned ceramic material, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 49-43239, is a "heater" by applying a paste containing an inorganic conductive material on a plate-shaped ceramic green sheet in an appropriate pattern. This is then layered with another plate-shaped green sheet, or such heating elements are layered in multiple layers, but the distance between the "heater" and the surface of the ceramic green sheet is not strictly regulated. , the heat will not be conducted uniformly and the green sheet may be damaged as described above.

To explain this in detail with reference to the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of a preheating plug having a threaded portion 1a formed at its base, and a heating element 2 made of a ceramic material is supported inside thereof via a metal holder 4. Inside the heating element 2, a heating element 3 is embedded in a rectangular zigzag pattern as shown by the broken line in order to disperse heat radiation energy. In addition to making it approximately rectangular, the distances h 1 and h 2 to both sides in the same cross section are equal, and the distance from the heating element 3 to the top and bottom surfaces along the direction in which it is disposed.
l 1 and l 2 are determined to have the following relationship with respect to h 1 and h 2 , that is, 1/4h 1 (h 2 )≦l 1 (l 2 )≦1/2h 1 (h 2 ). ing.

This is based on the above-mentioned research of the present invention. (1) In the cross section of the heating element 2, which has a substantially rectangular cross section and the heating element 3 is embedded as shown in Fig. 3, as in the present invention, an isothermal curve as shown in Fig. 5 is obtained. is drawn, and from this isothermal curve, if the above l 1 is too small, the temperature of the outer surface of the ceramic will become too polygonal and thermal decomposition will occur, so the heating element should be placed as far inside as possible, however, if the above l dimension is large If the heating element is placed too far inside, the heating rate will not increase. (2) From the results of examining the curve, the distance l between the heating element 3 and the upper and lower surfaces of the heating element 2
When the distance h to both sides is 1/2 to 1/4, the surface temperature at each point "A" and "B" in Figure 5 is approximately
This is because it was found that they are equal within a range of 100℃ difference.

As described above, in the present preheating plug, the cross-sectional shape of the ceramic heating element in which the heating element is embedded is formed into a substantially rectangular shape having the upper and lower surfaces and the side surfaces longer than the upper and lower surfaces,
Since the position of the heating element is set so that the distance l from the heating element to the upper and lower surfaces is within the range of h/4≦h/2 with respect to the maximum distance h between the heating element and the side surface, By making the cross section of the heating element rectangular, sufficient strength can be obtained at the joint between the heating element and the heating ceramic body, and the distance l from the heating element to the upper and lower surfaces is the maximum distance between the heating element and the side surface. For h, h/4≦l≦
h/2 range, the temperature on each side of the heating element is almost uniform when the heating element is heated, avoiding excessive thermal stress inside the heating element, and reducing the thermal shock of the heating element. Damage due to this will be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a ceramic preheating plug that has excellent durability and high reliability.

Note that similar effects can be obtained when two or more of the heating elements described above are arranged symmetrically in the heating body.
