Definitions
- the invention relates to a glow plug with a hollow body, in which a ceramic heating element with a sintered heating element is arranged, which protrudes axially on one side of the hollow body and the heating element of which is connected to power supply connections.
- Such glow plugs with a ceramic conductor and a metal resistance coil as a heating element are known from DE 42 03 183 A1 and DE 41 33 046 A1.
- Glow plugs are generally used as a starting aid in diesel engines and alcohol engines, for the ignition of additional heaters, for the ignition of gas burners, etc.
- the ceramic conductor consists of a U-shaped bent conductor piece which is arranged at the front end of the projecting part of the heating element and forms a first heating element.
- This first heating element is over a second heating element in the form of a coil made of a metallic material connected to the power supply connections.
- the heating coil is connected directly to the power supply connections.
- the object on which the invention is based is to design the glow plug of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be produced from fewer individual parts using a simple production process which comprises a smaller number of production steps and in which thermal overload at the contact points is avoided.
- contact surfaces are formed on the heating element, via which the heating element is in contact with the power supply connections.
- contacts in particular solder contacts, are avoided in the heating area, so that no thermal overloads can occur at the contact points, the glow plug according to the invention being able to be produced using a simple method due to the configuration of the contacts in the form of contact surfaces on the heating element.
- the glow plug according to the invention has a heating element that is thermally and mechanically stable even at temperatures of over 1200 ° C.
- the glow plug shown in Fig. 1 consists essentially of a metallic hollow body 1, in the cavity of which a ceramic heating element 2 is arranged, which protrudes axially at one end, ie at the motor-side end of the hollow body 1.
- the heating element 2 is essentially formed from a ceramic insulator 7, for example made of AlN, in which a ceramic conductor 6, for example made of SiC or SiAlON, z. B. is sintered.
- the ceramic conductor 6 is designed such that a zone 15 with a higher electrical resistance is formed in the motor-side heating rod tip, ie in the heating region 5.
- This zone 15 forms the actual heating resistor, which is preferably U-shaped in the manner shown in FIG. 1 is. This design can be achieved by appropriate doping of the ceramic conductor 6 in the zone 15 or by a reduction in cross section.
- Zone 15 is followed by a low-resistance region 14, which electrically connects the two ends of the heating resistor to the connection region, i.e. the power supply connections, which, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, are the metallic hollow body 1 as a ground connection and a screw or plug connection 3, which is likewise arranged in the hollow body 1 on the side opposite the heating region 5.
- the connection region i.e. the power supply connections, which, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, are the metallic hollow body 1 as a ground connection and a screw or plug connection 3, which is likewise arranged in the hollow body 1 on the side opposite the heating region 5.
- the ceramic conductor 6 is sintered into the ceramic insulator 7 by conventional manufacturing methods and provided with contact surfaces 8 and 9 for the ground contact and the plug contact by mechanical processing before or after the sintering process.
- the arrangement of the ceramic conductor 6 and the design of the contact surfaces 8 and 9 are such that the ceramic conductor 6 is electrically connected on the one hand in the region of its end section to the metallic hollow body 1 to form the ground contact and on the other hand to the plug connection 3 at the other end section.
- the ground contact surface 9 can also serve as a sealing seat.
- the contact surface 8 is connected to the connector 3, which can be designed, for example, as a circular connector.
- the contacting of the ceramic conductor 6 with the power supply connections, ie according to FIG. 1 with the metallic hollow body 1 and with the plug connection 3, is preferably a pressure contact.
- the prestress can also be achieved or increased by heating and axially compressing the hollow body 1 in the central region 13.
- the contacts can also be soldered or glued with a conductive adhesive or putty.
- contact parts in the form of metallic contact rings 10 and 11 are provided to improve the contacting on the contact surfaces 8 and 9, which are mechanically and electrically connected to the ceramic conductor 6 on the contact surfaces 8 and 9, for example by soldering, are connected.
- These contact rings 10 and 11 can be applied to the prefabricated heating element 2 or can be connected to the ceramic conductor 6 before the ceramic conductor with the contact rings 10, 11 is completely sintered into the ceramic insulator 7.
- a corresponding arrangement of the ceramic conductor 6 and the contact rings 10, 11 in the isolator 7 ensures that the ceramic conductor 6 is insulated against the hollow body 1 or the plug connection 3 on the points diametrically opposite the contacts.
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the glow plug according to the invention, which differs from the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 in that it has a two-pole version compared to the single-pole version shown in Fig. 1.
- the contact surface 9 for the ground contact is formed on an outside of the ceramic conductor 6 in the low-resistance area within the metallic hollow body 1 2 and formed the ground contact there, this contact surface for the ground contact is also formed at the end of the ceramic conductor 6 in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and connected via a contact part 18 to the second pole 20 of the plug connection 3, the first pole of which in is designed in the same way as in the embodiment of FIG. 1.
- An insulating part 19 is provided between the two poles 3 and 20 of the connector 3.
- contact parts were designed as contact rings 10, 11 in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, individual contact pieces 17, 18 are provided in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, each arranged and designed for contact with the corresponding first or second pole are.
- the hollow body 1 is installed in an electrically insulated manner with respect to the heating elements, the surface 21 which is located at the point at which the ground contact surface 9 is formed in FIG. 1 as pure sealing surface serves.
- the glow plug shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to the structure already described in connection with FIG. 1.
- a special doping of the conductive ceramic of the ceramic conductor 6 can ensure that the ceramic conductor 6 has different resistance temperature coefficients in some areas, that is to say that an area with a positive resistance temperature coefficient is created, so that the glow plug is self-regulating.
- This self-regulating property can be provided over the entire area of the ceramic conductor 6 or only over a partial area his. This property is preferably present over the region 14.
- the third exemplary embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 3 differs from the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 essentially in that instead of a ceramic conductor as heating element, a heating coil 16 made of a resistance wire, in particular a tungsten wire coil, is provided.
- the tungsten wire helix 16 is sintered into the ceramic insulator 7 and connected to the supply connections, e.g. a connector 3 and the ground connection on the body 1 connected to the contact surface 9.
- the third exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to the first exemplary embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1.
