Definitions

  • the invention relates to glow plugs with electrical control for Ion current measurement, clocking and for sensor functionalization.
  • the object of the invention is that known from the prior art and overcome listed disadvantages; in particular it also applies in the case of a mass-free glow plug, for example a ground line for ion current measurement to make it unnecessary back to the control unit; equally one for Vehicle electrical system voltage of, for example, 14 volts of glow plug on one Vehicle electrical system voltage of, for example, 42 volts can be operated; at the same time the glow plug connection is retained in a known manner, especially that single-pole connector system; Finally, the current path should be enabled to operate to use the glow plug to transmit sensor signals.
  • the Structure of the glow plug to be designed so that an inexpensive series production the existing systems is possible, with the assembly of similar components largely the same procedure while maintaining the cycle time is particularly important comes to.
  • the glow plug according to the present invention differs from conventional glow plugs in that in the new glow plug an electronic Component is integrated, in which circuits of various types can be implemented.
  • This integrated electronics in the candle can, for example, in the Use as an ion current candle (insulated structure between a conventional heating element and engine mass; e.g. Cylinder head) which is otherwise necessary for operation Ground return to the control unit is eliminated by applying the voltage it is decided whether to measure (insulation against mass) or Glow mode is desired (bridging the insulation within the glow plug and thus short to ground).
  • ion current candle insulated structure between a conventional heating element and engine mass; e.g. Cylinder head
  • Ground return to the control unit is eliminated by applying the voltage it is decided whether to measure (insulation against mass) or Glow mode is desired (bridging the insulation within the glow plug and thus short to ground).
  • Periodic switching or blocking of the current path occur e.g. by one for e.g. 11 V operating voltage designed glow plug, or for this voltage designed heating / control element, even at higher vehicle electrical system voltages operate.
  • the periodic switching then generates a voltage which is in their effective value corresponds to the nominal operating voltage of the design.
  • a circuit can be realized in such a way that a in the glow plug integrated sensor via the same supply connection of the heating or Control elements supplied or the measurement signal can be tapped.
  • the following is a glow plug with insulation between the figures Heating element and motor mass, for example for use in ion current measurement, described; the known heating rods are suitable as heating rods, such as for example, those with a metal glow tube or glow tube (at least partially) conductive ceramics etc.
  • the heating element (1) can be manufactured on existing standard equipment, this also applies to the pin (1.1), which later contacts the Establishes plug connection (4).
  • Heating rod (1) can be pressed into the body (3) as before.
  • the Insulating layer (2) can either be applied to the body (3) or to the heating element (1). This unit can be assembled completely automatically and checked for function.
  • the insulating tube (15) serves as protection against contact and as a brake for the Molding compound (16) and is the next step between the heating element and body pressed in.
  • the material is preferably a temperature-resistant plastic.
  • the plug connection (4) is identical to the previous one in the connection area Executions. Accordingly, it has a connector pin on the connection side with or without Thread on.
  • the plug connection (4) has a recess as a mounting platform (4.1) for the ceramic carrier (5), on which the electronic component (6) is pre-assembled. These two components together are on the Plug connection (4) in the area of the assembly platform (4.1) preferably applied by gluing.
  • the busbars (11) and (12) can be encapsulated in a plastic housing (13) and as a complete. Component be pressed onto the plug connection (4).
  • a twist protection (13.1) and the length stop (13.2) are provided so that the component can be installed in the correct position.
  • connection on the electronic component - e.g. Supply voltage connection (7), connection to the glow tube (8) and earth connection (9) - be preferably with the bonding process with the respective contact parts Plug connection (4), busbar for glow tube (11) and busbar to body (12) connected.
  • This unit is now, for example, with a resin (14) for stabilization shed.
  • This completed component connector (4) with electronics etc. can be used as Bulk-compatible component can be delivered for final assembly.
  • the plug connection (4) has a bore (4.2) in the axial direction, in which the pin (1.1) is pressed in by the heating element and the electrical contact to Manufactures inner pole (1.2) from the heating element (1).
  • busbar (11) with the glow tube (1.3) and the Busbar (12) connected to the body (3).
  • heating element (1) with body (3) and the plug connection (4) is in an injection mold is inserted and with extrusion coating (16) e.g. overmolded with PA 6.6.
  • the circumferential groove (17) on the body (3) serves as an additional form fit safer introduction of force into the extrusion coating (16).
  • Example 1 Ground contact in the glow mode of a glow plug with an electrically insulated heating element for ion current measurement:
  • the glow plug according to the invention can now, for example with the aid of the integrated electronics, decide, based on the voltage present at the connection, whether glow operation is desired (voltage applied, for example less than 16 V) or whether an ion current should be measured (voltage applied, for example greater than 20 V).
  • the electronics then short-circuit the glow tube with the glow plug body, for example, giving the ground connection necessary for operation.
  • this connection is separated so that the part protruding into the combustion chamber of the engine is electrically insulated from it and can thus act as an electrode.
  • the current flowing eg via the glow plug and the ions in the combustion chamber to ground, eg cylinder head
  • Example 2 Operation of a heating element designed for a certain voltage at a higher voltage:
  • Example 3 Alternating connection of a sensor signal and the operating voltage to the glow plug connection:
  • the signal can be inserted into the glow plug integrated sensor are placed on the connection for operating the glow plug, thus avoiding a separate connection.
  • the system is glow plug electronics 6-connector 4 modular design: On the one hand connector 4 with integrated electronics 6 for plugging together with the glow plug body 3 Heating rod 1 must be designed (two-part design). On the other hand, it can electronic component 6 with a push-on connector for connector 4 and one Push-on connection to glow plug body 3 with heating element 1 and through Plug together with connector 4 and body 3 to be connected to heating element 1 (three-part design).
  • the inventive integration of the control electronics in the glow plug overcomes the disadvantages from the prior art listed at the beginning.
  • the connector concept according to the invention permits automatic series production existing systems, whereby the individual components are capable of being handled in bulk, which is extremely advantageous for mass production and storage.
  • the system according to the invention is less prone to errors, in particular contact resistances and voltage losses due to cable length being avoided.
  • the standard dimensions of glow plugs are not exceeded, so that no special tools are required for glow plug assembly; the glow plugs according to the invention can also be operated on control units without ion current electronics.
