Definitions

  • the invention relates to a glow plug according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the helical resistance element extends over the entire length of the glow tube.
  • These known glow plugs require an electrical output of more than 120 W per candle with still air for a steady temperature of approx. 900 to 1000 ° C.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a glow plug whose glow tube can be heated to a temperature of the order of 850 ° C. with a lower electrical output while the engine is running.
  • a glow plug 1 with a glow plug body 3 and a glow tube 2, which is closed at its end remote from the glow plug body 3.
  • a resistance wire coil 4 hereinafter referred to as the heating coil, is located in the tip of the glow tube 2, i.e. thus concentrated on the end of the glow tube 2 facing away from the glow plug body 3.
  • the heating coil 4 consists of a heating wire, the resistance of which is largely independent of the temperature (e.g. Kanthal).
  • the heating coil 4 can be wholly or, as shown in FIG.
  • the heating coil has the part 4a with essentially temperature-independent resistance or with a resistance with a weakly positive or negative temperature coefficient and the part 4b with a strongly positive temperature coefficient ( spatial arrangement of parts 4a and 4b, can also be interchanged), partially consist of a heating wire with control characteristics (eg: Ni, CoFe, Fe, ).
  • control characteristics eg: Ni, CoFe, Fe, .
  • the entire heating coil that is to say including that part of it, which may be present and which has control characteristics, is concentrated in the tip of the glow tube.
  • This area is limited to max. 10 mm, preferably 4 to 7 mm, limits and occupies a range of less than 1/3 of the free glow tube length.
  • a low-resistance connection 6 e.g. made of a nickel wire, which extends straight through the glow tube 2.
  • the heating coil 4 is embedded in the glow tube 2 with the aid of an electrically insulating material 7 designed as granules. MgO is usually used as the insulation material.
  • an insulation material with higher thermal conductivity e.g. AlN2
  • an insulation material with lower thermal conductivity is used in the area of the low-resistance wire connection.
  • the spatial expansion of the heating coil 4 is deliberately concentrated on the tip of the glow tube in order to minimize the glowing volume.
  • the electrical power to be applied to reach a specific glow plug temperature can be kept low. This low electrical power is a prerequisite for continuous operation of the glow plug. It also minimizes the losses from convection, radiation and heat conduction.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a glow plug, in which a protective tube 9 surrounding the glow tube 2 is provided to further reduce the heat losses at lower temperatures in the combustion chamber or the prechamber of the engine during the gas exchange processes.
  • a protective tube 9 surrounding the glow tube 2 is provided to further reduce the heat losses at lower temperatures in the combustion chamber or the prechamber of the engine during the gas exchange processes.
  • one or more openings 10 are provided at the tip and / or on the circumference of the protective tube 9, which allow the fuel-air mixture access to the glowing glow tube end, where the fuel-air mixture is then ignited.
  • the protective tube 9 also has the function of preventing the heated glow tube from overheating at very high combustion chamber temperatures. This embodiment is particularly suitable for use in engines with very high gas exchange speeds and thus high convection losses.
  • Fig. 3 shows schematically the control of the glow plugs using the example of a 4-cylinder engine.
  • An electrical switching device controls the individual glow plugs, e.g. via power switching transistors, depending on vehicle condition on and off.
  • the individual glow plugs are switched on in succession with a slight time delay.
  • the duration of the preheating phase can be changed depending on various parameters, such as outside temperature, cooling water temperature, supply voltage, glow plug resistance.
  • the glow plugs are switched on in succession so that overheating of the glow plugs is avoided.
  • the glow plugs are designed electrically so that with a duty cycle of 25% the desired glow plug temperature of e.g. > 850 ° C is reached.
  • glow plugs it may be advantageous to insert an intermediate glow phase with a 50% or 75% duty cycle after the preheat phase. Two or three glow plugs are then heated simultaneously.
  • the glow plugs are checked for functionality by the control device and any defects are displayed to the driver.
  • Such a test phase can be provided both before the preheating time and in the respective clock pauses of the individual glow plugs. If a heating coil with temperature-dependent resistance is used for the glow plugs, the coil temperature can also be monitored.
  • FIG. 4 shows the temperature profile on the glow tube surface after a heating-up time of 30 seconds.
  • the glowing volume is concentrated on the glow tube tip in the glow plug according to FIG. 1 (solid line); all electrical energy is converted in the area of the glow tube tip, where the resistance wire coil is concentrated.
  • the major part of the electrical energy is converted in the area of the regulating filament part of the resistance wire filament, which extends over the larger part of the glow tube length on the side facing the glow plug body. This part of the glow tube is measured in the glow plug in question by a low-resistance feedback.
  • Fig. 5. 5 shows both the glow current over time and the surface temperature at the glow tube tip.
  • the known glow plug (dashed line) begins with a high initial current peak, which leads to the heating of the control coil. Due to the increasing resistance of the control coil, the glow current decreases and the control coil takes over most of the electrical energy. It takes approx.6.5 s to reach a temperature of 850 ° C at the glow tube tip and approx.9.5 s to reach 950 ° C.
  • a comparison of the known series glow plug and the object glow plug (FIG. 6) during engine operation with a constant heating power of approx. 40 W resulted in the following.
  • the standard glow plug only reached a slight increase in temperature at every combustion chamber temperature, while the glow plug in question assumed a temperature of> 850 ° C in every driving condition.
  • the temperature rises to approximately 1000 ° C. at high combustion chamber temperatures.
  • the glow plug with protective tube according to FIG. 2 shows an almost constant temperature over the entire driving range at the tip of the glow tube. This is due to the shielding effect of the protective tube. This can further improve the life of the glow plug.
  • the thermowell takes on a higher temperature and thus acts as Glow ignition exciter.
  • the shortening of the ignition delay is known to result in a reduction in combustion noise and airborne noise.
  • FIG. 8 shows schematically the installation of a glow plug according to FIG. 1 in a swirl chamber of a diesel engine.
  • the central control unit records the various engine parameters and supplies the glow plugs with an appropriate heating output.
  • this control unit can also Take over injection control and monitoring of the glow plugs.
  • FIG. 9 schematically shows the control device that is supplied with the different input variables. This data is processed according to a predetermined program in a microprocessor, which then controls the power output stage. Engine-specific data and maps can be stored in a memory block. In addition, the microprocessor performs function monitoring (diagnosis) of the glow plugs and reports any errors to the driver.
