Definitions
- the present invention relates to a glow plug used as a heating plug for preheating ceramic glow plug water for preheating a cylinder of a diesel engine.
- a conventional glow plug 90 has a rod-shaped ceramic heater 91 and a tightly fitted ceramic heater 91 with the front end 91a and the rear end 91b of the ceramic heater 91 protruding. And a cylindrical metal shell 93 whose front end is joined to the outer peripheral surface 92a of the rear end of the outer cylinder 92.
- the ceramic heater 91 has a heat generating portion 912 that generates heat by conduction at a front end portion 91 la of the ceramic heater main body 911 extending in the axis O direction, and extends from the heat generating portion 912 to a rear end side 91 lb outer peripheral surface of the ceramic heater main body 911. It has a pair of current-carrying leads 913 extended so as to be exposed.

- a material of the tubular member 95 a metal elastic material having an elastic force such as stainless steel or copper is used in consideration of caulking or the like.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-42671 (FIG. 3)
- the cylindrical member 95 using a metal elastic body as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is sufficiently attached to the ceramic heater 91 when joined to the ceramic heater 91 with a brazing material. There is a possibility that the tightening force cannot be obtained.
- a thermal load force S is applied to the ceramic heater 91 and the cylindrical member 95, and both of them are thermally expanded. At this time, the tubular member 95 expands more easily than the ceramic heater 91 at this time. Then, if a glow plug 90 that does not provide sufficient fastening force of the cylindrical member 95 to the ceramic heater 91 as described above is used, a gap may be generated between the ceramic heater 91 and the cylindrical member 95. is there.
- the gap between the ceramic heater 91 and the cylindrical member 95 has a brazing filler metal interposed between the brazing filler metal and the ceramic heater 91 if the wettability between the brazing filler metal and the ceramic is not sufficient. A gap is created. Then, the exposed surface of the lead portion 913 from which oxygen invades and is exposed to the gap is oxidized, and the contact resistance between the lead portion 913 and the cylindrical member 95 is increased. There is a possibility that the electrical continuity of the device may decrease.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and suppresses the generation of a gap between a ceramic heater and a cylindrical member even when an internal combustion engine or the like is used, and achieves electrical continuity. It is an object of the present invention to provide a glow plug capable of suppressing a decrease.
- the present invention (an invention according to claim 1) made to achieve such an object includes a ceramic heater body extending in the axial direction, and a heat generation buried at a tip end of the ceramic body and generating heat when energized.
- a rod-shaped ceramic heater having a portion connected to the heat generating portion, one end of which is connected to the heat generating portion, and the other end of which is exposed to the outer peripheral surface of the rear end portion of the ceramic heater main body.
- the tubular member has a Pickers hardness at 25 ° C of 200 HV or more.
- the Vickers hardness at 25 ° C of the cylindrical member is 200 HV or more.
- the tubular member harder than before, it is possible to obtain a sufficient tightening force on the ceramic heater when joined to the ceramic heater. Therefore, even when the internal combustion engine or the like is used, it is possible to suppress the generation of a gap between the ceramic heater and the cylindrical member, and to suppress a decrease in the electrical conduction of the glow plug.
- the Vickers hardness is less than 200 HV, the above effects cannot be sufficiently obtained.
- the Vickers hardness of the tubular member at 25 ° C. is preferably 500 HV or less.
- the cylindrical member and the ceramic heater may be joined with a brazing material or may be joined with an interference fit.
- a distal end portion of the cylindrical member is joined to an outer peripheral surface on a rear end side of the ceramic heater by interference fit. No.
- a sufficient tightening force can be obtained as compared with the joining using a brazing material.
- it is effective in terms of manufacturing and cost.

Therefore, even when the internal combustion engine or the like is used, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a gap between the ceramic heater and the tubular member, and to suppress a decrease in the electrical conduction of the glow plug.
- Press-fitting, shrink-tightening, cold-tightening, etc. can be considered as the interference fit. Of these, press fitting is preferred. Press-fitting makes it possible to easily perform an interference fit in manufacturing. Further, in the press-fitting, since the tubular member does not receive cold heat during manufacturing, the tubular member can maintain sufficiently high hardness.
- the tip of the cylindrical member is tightly fitted to the cylindrical member by 15% or more when viewed in the axial direction of the ceramic heater. If it is less than 15%, the interference with the ceramic heater is reduced, and a crack may occur in the tubular member.

- the elastic member is allowed to move toward the rear end in the axial direction of the center shaft, so that the ceramic heater moves to the rear end in the axial direction due to long-term vibration of the ceramic heater force or excessive combustion pressure. Even if this occurs, the elastic member can absorb it, so that it is not broken like a conventional glass seal. Therefore, even when the ceramic heater is pressed by the combustion pressure or the like, the center shaft joined to the ceramic heater via the cylindrical member can be insulated from the metal shell and prevented from falling off.
- examples of the elastic member include a packing and an O-ring.
- the elastic member may be configured such that the elastic member is engaged with a rearward facing surface of the metal shell and presses the elastic member. It is preferable to have a cylindrical insulating member arranged on the rear end side of the horn. Since the insulating member presses the elastic member, the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is not released outside through the gap in the glow plug. It is preferable that the insulating member is disposed with a space with respect to a gap between the metal shell and the center shaft. Accordingly, even if the ceramic heater moves to the rear end side in the axial direction due to long-term vibration from the ceramic heater or excessive combustion pressure, the ceramic heater is not destroyed.
- the insulating member has a portion where the insulating member occupies 60% or more of the center axis in a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction. By occupying 60% or more, it is possible to sufficiently press the elastic member.

- a tapered surface that enlarges the inner diameter of the hole may be used.
- a rear end portion of the cylindrical member is welded to an outer peripheral surface on a rear end side of the center shaft. This makes it possible to firmly join the high hardness cylindrical member and the center shaft.
- the welding of the cylindrical member and the central shaft may be performed by any of resistance welding, ultrasonic welding, and laser welding as long as the cylindrical member and the central shaft are electrically connected.
- the glow plug according to the present invention includes a cylindrical distal end joined to the outer peripheral surface on the rear end side of the ceramic heater by interference fitting, brazing, or the like;
- a metal member having a rear end portion joined to a front end side outer peripheral surface, electrically connecting one of the pair of lead portions and the center shaft, and having a Vickers hardness of 200 HV or more at 25 ° C is used. It is characterized by having been. Since such a glow plug uses a metal member that is harder than the conventional one, when it is joined to a ceramic heater, it is possible to increase the tightening force of the cylindrical tip with respect to the ceramic heater.
- the picker hardness at 25 ° C. of the metal member is preferably 500 HV or less. If the Vickers hardness exceeds 500 HV, the workability of the metal member deteriorates, and the ceramic heater may be broken at the time of joining with the ceramic heater.

After that, the glow plug 1 is energized, and the ceramic heater 2 is heated for 1 minute so that the temperature of the overlapping portion between the ceramic heater 2 and the cylindrical member 100 becomes 200 ° C, and then naturally cooled for 30 seconds. As one cycle, 50,000 cycles were performed. The temperature of the overlapping portion was measured by providing a thermocouple on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 100. The temperature of 200 ° C is higher than the temperature of the overlapping portion of the glow plug 1 used in a general internal combustion engine, and the target was set at 200 ° C.
- the glow plug 1 having a Vickers hardness of the cylindrical member 100 of 200 HV or more has a contact resistance increase of 50 m ⁇ or less, whereas the Vickers hardness of the cylindrical member 100 Groove plug 1 with S150HV or less has an increase in contact resistance exceeding 50 m ⁇ .
- the cylindrical member 100 by setting the cylindrical member 100 to have a Vickers hardness of 200 HV or more, an increase in contact resistance can be suppressed, and good electrical conductivity can be obtained.
- Example 1 the relationship between the fixing means of the center shaft 5 of the glow plug 1 and the metal shell 4 using the cylindrical member 100 having a Vickers hardness of 200 HV or more and durability was examined.
- ten glove lugs 1 each having a cylindrical member 100 having a Vickers hardness of 100 HV, 200 HV, and 300 HV used in Example 1 are prepared.
- the rubber (fluorine rubber) O-ring 6 and the insulating bush described in the present embodiment are used as means for fixing the metal shell 4 and the center shaft 5.
- Table 7 was used.
- a glass seal 96 as disclosed in Patent Document 1 was used as a comparative example.
- the glow plug 1 was attached to a direct injection common rail type (turbocharger with intercooler) diesel engine with a displacement of 3000 cc, and the glow plug 1 was energized to drive the engine. After that, the energization of the glow plug 1 was stopped, and the engine was continuously driven for 250 hours while keeping the overlapping portion of the ceramic heater 2 and the cylindrical member 100 at 100 ° C or less. Then, the glow plug 1 was also removed from the engine power, and cracks were generated in the ceramic heater 2 of the glow plug 1 to observe whether or not there was a force. When the cracks occurred, the number of the glow plugs 1 was counted. Table 2 shows the results.
- the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, but may be variously modified embodiments within the scope of the present invention depending on purposes and applications.
- the cylindrical member 100 having a cylindrical shape as a whole is used. Instead, only the distal end portion to be joined to the ceramic heater 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape.
- This part may be a metal member having a plate shape, or a metal member having a cylindrical shape at the front end and the rear end, and connecting between them by an intermediate portion of the plate shape.
- a projection 31 is provided on the outer cylinder 3.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and a cylindrical outer cylinder 403 may be provided as shown in FIG.
- an outer cylinder 503 in which the diameter of the rear end of the cylinder is enlarged may be provided.
- the heat generating portion 22 is embedded in the ceramic heater main body 21, but is not limited to this, and is exposed on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the ceramic heater main body 21. Is also good.
