Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a glow plug for improving the startability of a diesel engine, or other devices, and a method for producing the same.
  • a glow plug has been proposed, for example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 9-217933.
  • This glow plug comprises a tube (sheath) and a resistor embedded in an insulating powder contained in the interior of the tube, wherein the resistor is wound in a spiral shape on a winding axis corresponding to a longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • the resistor is energized with a current to generate heat.
  • This glow plug is usually produced by placing the resistor in the tube and, after filling an insulating powder in the interior of the tube, swaging the tube to increase the filling density of the insulating powder.
  • the resistor is subjected to a compressive force applied in the direction vertical to the axis on which the spiral is wound. Since the resistor is wound in a spiral shape about the longitudinal axis of the tube as described above, the resistor is compressed in the axial direction of resistor wire, whereby the resistor becomes thicker in diameter due to this compressive force to decrease its resistance. This is contradictory to the requirement in that the resistor must have a large resistance value to act as a heater.
  • the present inventors have tried to solve this problem from the view point that the increase in diameter of the resistor due to swaging could be minimized by tilting the resistor relative to the winding axis of the spiral so that the wire axis of the resistor wound in a spiral shape largely deviates from the direction of the compressive force generated due to the swaging.
  • Fig. 2(a) A distance between a first point t1 and a second point t2 measured in the direction of an axis M about which the resistor is wound defines a spiral pitch P. Note that the axis M is an imaginary line.
  • a third point t3 is defined on the resistor J intermediate between the first and second points at a position apart half a length of the resistor between the first and second points from the first point.
  • a distance Q between the third point and the first point measured in the winding direction is a so-called half spiral pitch which is 1/2 of the spiral pitch.
  • a compressive force is applied to the resistor J in the direction vertical to the winding direction, which is generated due to the swaging, as shown in the arrowed direction R as shown in Fig. 2(a). Accordingly, the resistor J collapses in the wire-axial direction as shown in Fig. 2(b) to result in an increase in the wire diameter.
  • the inventors have studied to find how spiral shape of the resistor should be tilted relative to the winding axis for purpose of properly restricting the variation in resistance of the resistor due to swaging. As a result, as shown in Fig. 6, it has been found that there is a certain inclination range of the resistor wherein the difference in resistance between before and after swaging is significantly minimized.
  • the present invention is based on this knowledge.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a glow plug capable of restricting the resistance variation of a resistor caused by the swaging of a tube and a method of producing the same.

  • Another aspect of the present invention employs the latter definition of the third point (t3), and it is possible to provide a glow plug, capable of properly restricting the resistance variation of the resistor (4, 5) due to the swaging of the tube (3), wherein the distance Q between the third point and the first point (t1) measured in the direction of the winding axis (M) is 0.75 times the spiral pitch (P) or more; the distance Q being the maximum value relative to the spiral pitch P as the tube (3) turns 180 degrees on the winding axis.
  • the distance Q between the third point (t3) and the first point (t1) measured in the direction of the winding axis (M) is equal to the spiral pitch (P) or more (that is, one turn of the spiral pitch or more), it is possible to provide a glow plug capable of properly restricting the resistance variation of the resistor due to the swaging of the tube (3) at a higher level.
